Boston, Mass.—The follow ing article, published in the Boston Traveler, one of the largest dailies in the "Hub" city, under the heading of "Southern Gem'n Finds Chivalry Code Differs Here,' give an idea of why Boston is liked by so many colored people: Oma Houghton, who left his native North Carolina two weeks ago to seek his fortune in Boston, made a discovery the other day. Houghton left a West End moving picture theatre when the show was over and jostled Miss Florence Crown and Miss Edith Terry, of Eliver St., Cambridge. Both young women are colored and good looking. Houghton said, Hello "niggers," and when they ignored him repeated the salutation and then kicked at one of the girls. A white man grabbed Houghton by the scuff of the neck at this and threw him in to the street for an officer to pick up. Miss Brown, in telling Judge Parmenter of it in the police court, said that Houghton seemed surprised as he picked himself up and remarked: "Why, down South where I came from they'd have shaken hands with me for that." Houghton denied have kicked at the young woman. The two had jostled him, he said, and he had jostled back. He was held in $300 for sentence.

White purchased a ticket from the Pullman Car Company over the St L. I. M. & S. from St. Louis to Memphis The next morning when with in a few miles of Memphis, he was attacked and painfully assaulted by white brutes, who at a late hour, had discovered his presence in the car, being robbed of a gold watch and chain, a diamond pin and $165.00 in cash. From the brutal treatment he received, he was confined to the Negro Baptist Hospital for several days. He has placed his case in the hands of Attorney Booth, one of the best criminal lawyers in the South.

I HEAR the pattering footsteps of twenty million dusky children yet unborn, Echoing down the corridors of time, A generation hence they will here unbarring wide the gates of life. I hear them uttering the dumb and inarticulate aspirations of a race so long restrained. I HEAR the firm and steady footfalls of their tread marching everywhere resistless in the paths of men— I hear no voice of yielding, compromising or fear, But the full voiced notes of free men rising high above the graves of caste. I SEE dark visioned countenances everywhere walking in the paths of men erect and unafraid. I see unwavering eyes look forth from ebony faces no longer mantled with an age-long grin, A mild protest was entered by local papers, but the "big howl" did not come until the recruiting agents began to carry away trained coal diggers from the mining districts. Mine operators in the vicinity of Birmingham employ 20,000 work men, most of whom receive wages ranging from $50 to $100 a month. But with a look of stern determination and resolve. I see a day of God, and not a day of color or of race In which men trace with pardonable pride the fading rays of oriental sunshine in their veins. Dr. Ulysses Grant Mason, a leading colored physician of Birmingham, talked with the correspondent about the migration of colored men. I SEE now near at hand, the opening day of the dar er races of man ind in which The average colored man who has accepted work in the North and West at a increased wage, said Dr. Mason, considers it a promotion. Many colored people who left Georgia and Alabama went to Connecticut to work in the tobacco fields, to take the place of foreigners who returned to Europe to enlist for the war, or native white men who quit the farms to go into munion plants. For several years Connecticut tobacco growers have been experimenting with colored labor and have found it very satisfactory. Americans of African descent stand forth Among the first Americans. REVERDY C. RANSOM. Run Out of Town. The Northern and Western employer has ever, up to this time, given the colored man of the South an opportunity to show his ability to work. He has preferred the foreigner, who was brought over for a busy season and then permitted to go back in dull times. Paducah, Ky.—Jack Ringhesin, a white man, of Chicago, was run out of town last Monday. He escaped with his life by taking a gasoline launch. The white man did no crime other than tell some of the workers that the north had whipped the south once about "their treatment to Negroes" and would do it again if necessary. The whites have also put a ban on the Chicago Tribune because of its antilynching sentiment. Ben Davis, a colored politician of Georgia, thinks that a number of colored men have left the state because of fear of lynching. When in Detroit, recently, said Davis, I saw Georgia carpenters making 60 and 70 cents an hour. I think the explanation of the present migration, which is growing rapidly and will, by the middle of next April be a great exodus, is to be found in the increased wage. Yet I feel that many colored men have left lawless counties of Georgia because of the fear of being mobbed if charged with crime. Two women have been lynched. DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, NOV. 25, 1916 "While I realize the importance of the shortage of labor in the South and particularly in Savannah, and while I realize that many merchants and manufacturers here desire the exodus of Negroes to the North stopped, yet, there is another phase of the situation equally as important and that is that Negroes, as other American citizens, have certain inalienable rights guaranteed under the Constitution of the United States which give them the privilege of going to Pennsylvania, Kamchat a, Russia or any place they desire and whenever they please." He also touched on the charge placed against the men, loitering, saying, "if these Negroes are the shiftless lawless kind, those that hang around saloons, pool rooms and dives you ought to be glad to have them go, but if they are industrious thrifty, respectable citizens then they are not loiterers and should not be subjected to such wholesale arrests as you have made." The Negro's industrial opportunity was never brighter in this country since he began to work for himself and not for his master, as he did in the former days. The country especially the South, is beginning to acknowlege in a practical way his value as a factor in the labor and industrial fields of the nation. From the South, where attempts were made to substitute his labor with white foreign labor, comes the greatest and most pronounced evidence of its preference for him, and in these days, when Europe is in a political commotion and foreign labor is scarce, not only the South, but all parts of the country are swinging back to him. The South during the last decade had been pretending that it wanted to get rid of the Negro—that he was shiftless and unreliable as a laborer, but when the Negro decided to take the South at its word and began to move to other quarters there went up from every section of the South a howl of protest, followed by the most strenuous efforts to prevent his exodus. The truth is that Negro labor, under conditions as favorable as those under which the whites operate, are just as reliable as the best class of white labor and infinitely more reliable than that of transient foreigners. Among the things which have made the Negro in the South restless have been the bad treatments which he is continually receiving at the hands of the South. The South knows that there is no class of people in the body politic that is as valuable an asset to it as the Negro. If the South will treat the Negro justly and humanely it will have no trouble with an exodus, but if it does not neither laws nor vigilance committees will be able to restrain their departure to more favorable climes.—Baltimore Commonwealth. Savannah, Ga.,—With these words, Police Recorder Schwarz of the City Recorder's Court ordered the release of more than one hundred Negroes who had been arrested the day before at the Union Depot where they were on the point of taking trains for various northern points. Birmingham, Ala.,—The migration of colored people from Alabama to Northern and Western states was given momentum by the activities of the boll weevil and the summer floods in the cotton district of the state. The progressive little insect that disheartens cotton growers struck hard in lower Alabama counties this year, and floods literally washed away many crops. Not only were the prospective travelers arrested, but every Negro in or about the station at the time, including James H, Butler, associate editor of the Savannah Tribune was taken in, despite ability to show legitimate reason for being at the station on business which had no connection with the northern exodus. The Birmingham mining district was asked to take care of many of the poverty stricken colored men from the cotton or black belt. It was about this time that the Pennsylvania and Erie railroads were urged to stop recruiting laborers in Georgia and Florida. The labor agents turned to Alabama at the psychological moment and did a lively business for several months, with the result that more than 60,000 have migrated to the North, East and West from the state. County upon county has been almost deserted by colored people for the coal fields of West Virginia, Ohio, Kentucky and Indiana and the great industrial centers of New York, New Jersey, Michigan and Illinois. During the past two or three weeks, it appears, about hundred men have left this section to accept positions in factories and on the railroads of the north. The authorities have sought in vain to discover the source from whence they secured transportation. Failing to secure this information, the police determined upon measures of intimidation which were carried out by the arrest of these men. In that section of the station which is set aside for colored passengers many men were gathered. The police officers came up about 1 o'clock in several patrol wagons formed a cordon around the station. Without explanation as to charges preferred or crime alleged to be committed, every Negro in the the station was placed under arrest, bundled into the wagons and hustled to the station house where they were incarcerated The men were held under bonds of $100, only fourteen of the number being able to furnish it and secure their release When the trial was called he only testimony heard was that of the chief of detectives and several police lieutenants Before any further testimony could be given the recorder stopped the trial and delivered the scathing rebuke quoted above. The colored people of the city are aroused and in dignant and funds are being raised to continue the case. Dickie rinkerma & Plot oral History Booklet FIVE CENTS A COPY.

Thompson Waytes, BR Career and Achievements of a | Union County (8. C.) Girl Who Has Made Her Mark In Many Good _, Movements—Gifted Orator and Well * Knewn Organizer. New York.—Much credit should be given the various groups of women of our race for the splendid work they are doing for racial advancement in many good movements. In many such groups are individuals who by indus- try and persistence have won a nation wide reputation in more than ordinary lines of work. Among the foremost in the individual line is Miss Alice L. 5 ace Re Sad Thompson Waytes, who was the chair- man of the colored women's national Republican committee here during the recent national political campaign. Miss Waytes is a nate of Union county, 8. C. After completing her public school course Miss Waytes en- tered Benedict college, where she took the college preparatory course. She also completed a course in missionary training at Shaw university, Raleigh, in 1901. From Shaw university Miss Wastes went to the Moody Bible in- stitute, at Chicago, in which she fur- ther perfected her studies, finishing the course in 1904, She taught in the Howard graded school at Columbia and, all told, has had six years’ ex- perience as u schoolteacher. In 1910 Miss Waytes was appointed superintendent of Bible school work by | the Church Federation soctety of New York. As a speaker and lecturer she has had an interesting career. Upon the formation of the Progressive party at Chicago in 1912 Miss Waytes was selected as one of the campaign speak- ors and did effective work on a tour through Illinofs, Wisconsin, Minnesota and Mnssachusetts. Besides her work as above given she is a gospel preacher of no mean ability and also an author and writer. Among -her best works are “Modern Proverbs and the Hidden Fire.” She bas travel- ed extensively throughout the United States working for the advancement of the race in various movements. At Columbia, 8. C., she succeeded in or- ganizing the Columbia City mission, through which hundreds of garments were distributed to the poor. She was one of the prime factors in the organt- zation of the Frederick Douglass Cen- ter in Chicago and also organized the Bible class of the Mount Olivet Bap- tist church in Chicago. In 1908 Miss ‘Waytes was a teacher at the Live Oak institute, Live Oak, Fla. During 1911 Miss Waytes was the Ugstor of the Shiloh Baptist church, feat Medford, Mass. On resigning the pastorate of the church at West Med- ford she was called to church in one of the western states, but an urgent demand for her services among prison. ers won her sympathies. In this line of Fellsious and nocial service work she traVeled a great deal, She has deliver. ed lectures to the student body at Fisk university, Roger Williams university, Hartshom college, Virginia Union uni- versity, Howard university and at the Florida Baptist college. Miss Waytes has received a number of letters of commendation from prom. inent educators, statesmen and clergy: men on her work. ‘The one from for. mer President Roosevelt states that Mr, Roosevelt was very much pleased with her work as a campaign speaker for the Progressive party in 1912. An: other letter of the same tone of sentt ment was sent to Miss Waytes from the Tribune-Herald at Rome, Ga., and from a number of other papers in the various sections of the country. Miss Waytes did yeoman service for the Republican party in the politica campaign which closed on Nov. 7, Her services are {a-constant demand,’ an¢ she {s kept busy at all times. She iss contributer to four weekly papers, She knows the art of newspaper writing quite well and states the facts as the) are.

Pres. 2046-51 CHAMPA ST, DENVER, COLO. ¥ WELL MANAGED CAMPAIGN President and Secretary of the Tuske- gee Institute to Speak at Several Meetings While on Northern Tour In November—Many Examples of Race Loyalty Are Shown. Tuskegee Institute, Alabama.—So well was the memorial fund campaign urganized in Dallas, Tex., that, al- though $500 was pledged, the move ment had received such impetus that when the final counts were made re- cently Dallas had given $525.31. Churches, societies and loyal individ- uals worked with unflagsing enthu- siasm for the success of the fund throughout the campaign. Dr. iT. Hamilton, the chairman of the committee, well deserves the following compliment, which was paid him by one of the pastors of his city, who sald: “The Dallas committee was requested to raise $500. This has been done, and Dr. R. T. Hamilton well de- serves the credit for securing it. He has gone about the work from the very beginning with enthusiastic interest and bas spared. no time or energy in visiting individuals, lodges and churcb- es and speaking a good word for the success of the campaign in Dallas.” Announcement has already been made of the $2,000 which was recently sent from the colored people of New York: city—$1,000 through the memo- rial fund committee and $1,000 from the Southern Beneficial league, an or- ganization composed of colored people who formerly lived in the south, but are now residents of New York. Mr. ‘Thomas W. Grigsby {s president of the Southern league. Enthusiastic meetings in the interest of the memorial fund have been plan- ned for New York, Philadelphia, Balti- more and Washington. These meet- ings were fortunately arranged at a time when Dr. Robert R. Moton, prin- cipal, and Mr. Emmett J. Scott, sec- retary, are scheduled to be in New York city on business for the school. ‘and they bave arranged to be present at these meetings on their way south the latter part of November. ‘These meetings and the response re fersed to above are in thorough accord with the outlook referred to in a previ. ous article, when it was predicted that the coming of fall would mean the revival of interest in the move ment. Committees in many other cities are meeting regularly and planning the most thorough campaigns to raise suitable sums to represent their cities. Tt has been most encouraging to re- celve letters from various workers who are interested in the success of this worthy cause. In alll the letters received here there is interwoven an appreciation of the race pride which is involved in this effort among the colored people. For example, Rev. Aaron G. Thomas, pas- tor of the Becond Baptist church, Oko- Jona, Miss., writes: “I am glad to know that oar white friends have giv- en more than a half of the amount which they were asked to give to the memorial fund and regret that the col- ored people's response is less than a fitth of the amount they were asked to gtve. Knowing as we do of Dr. Washington's devotion to the cayse of humanity, as exemplified by his un- selfish labors both for our race and for our nation, it is'disappointing that our people have done so little toward rais- ing thetr $250,000, which is only an elghth of the amount.” Jif sagion to) the inspiring: letters from friends in the United States, we have also received this cncouraging word from a colored lady in Alaska: “I just learned tonight of a memorial to the memory of Dr. Booker T. Wash- ington being secured from the colored people and will inclose $10 in my next letter for the fund. We have nothing but gold on hand at present, but will remit when I can get some currency from the mint at Seattle.” Altogether. the outlook ts most prom. ising for a good response from the col- red people before the end of the year. Now that the election ts over things will settle down to normal and many of those who are now dividing their at- tention between politics and business will be able to renew their efforts in bebalf of the memorial fund. : “The campaizn is an education for the colored people’ in self dependency, and I feel sure that they are going to do thelr part,” writes one of the Tus- kegee trustees, and this sentiment ts belng reflected every day in the letters Little Gem Poultry Yard All Eggs for Setting, Silver Campines, doz. $3 to $5.

Don't We Owe Him Something? It has been the policy of the Star to give credit where credit was due, regardless as to whom it concerned. We have done so even when we radically disagreed with the winner of the honors. We want to frankly admit that we have not always agreed with Rev. D. E. Over on questions touching our welfare in Denver. We have sharply disagreed, but at all times of our disagreement he has not let his personal opinions cause him to swing his business from the Star. He has been most loyal in that respect. When as an Editor we visited that great Golden Jubilee and began to take notice of the tremendous amount of work and detail effort, we easily knew that nothing but the combination of work, unity and cooperation could have accomplished such a -mammoth task. Differences wane into insignificance when men of deeds step forward and crown their labors so greatly needed in Denver with an "I can." If intelligence does anything it should surely teach that men can differ and yet deal squarely and remain friends. Life is full of gives and takes. When we say that this event is the greatest and best exhibition of talent and crystalized Negro labor ever produced in Denver, the Star only considers it does its simple duty in recognizing in Rev. Over the master of the job, a man of deeds. Such has been his history in getting rid of his $4,000 elephant on Arapahoe St. and in organizing Zion so thorny and unitedly that his strong personality is written on every deed and auxiliary. We know of no man, under the circumstances, who could have faced the problems, threatened splits and disgruntled people, as he, and yet accomplish so much as he. He has made, what we think, grievious mistakes, yet he has done more excellent things, but above it all and beyond it all, he has pushed ahead, dispelling all opposition, crushing all defiance and removing all obstacles, until today he has made a distinct success out of the Golden Jubilee. Disagree with us if you will, deny our argument if it pleases you; withhold from him his merits, but consult facts—things actually done—and you must perforce of them be willing to acknowledge his ability as an organizer, builder and master. Whether his actions have been wise or unwise, right or wrong, whether we like him or not, friend and foe must join in and compliment him on his great achievements while here at Zion. Denver is proud of Rev. Over, not because we like him or dislike him but because of what he has brought to pass. We honor him for his success. What if he had failed? THE SEGREGATION ORDINANCES We are given to understand that the circulators of these petitions are not meeting with the pleasantest of cordial welcomes from our citizens, and that the Democratic and Republican committee and women have been importuled to sign. Now, Negroes, this fight means to fight against the circulation of petitions every step to the United States Supreme Court. The Star urges every Negro to find out just who are doing the circulating, whose names are signed to the petitions, where these people work and for whom, or whether in business or not. This can be done. Money buys any commodity and will buy information. See how many politicians, big or little, --- $2.00 1.00 50 in rate, all subscriptions must be paid.

E. church, Philadelphia, in honor of the first 100 members to join the church since the Rev. Dr. R. J Williams became its pastor, membership certificates were presented to seventy-five of the new members who were present. Dr. Williams has been at this church only five months, and during this brief period 115 members have been added to the roll. The denomination is in the second century of its existence as the African Methodist Episcopal church, which was founded by Richard Allen 100 years ago, May, 1816. Bethel church, being the first started by the Rev. Mr. Allen, bears the affectionate name of "Mother." The program on the night of the presentation was participated in by a number of well known and zealous Christian workers. South's Labor Situation Is Serious. The number of colored persons who have left the states of Alabama. Georgia and Mississippi since Sept. 1 for the north, according to figures given out recently, is placed at 50,000. No figures were given for the large number of laborers who have gone from Louisiana, Texas and South Carolina. GRAND JUNCTION. THANKSGIVING FOOT BALL GAME AT DENVER CITIZENS CROWD ZIONS (Continued from page 1.) There is no question but that Zion has set a new and high standard for the religious world in Denver. To equal such an innovation will be a hard task and to surpass it will be harder. As one visited the many booths these ideas impressed him. Some showed an exclusive design with a distinctive atmosphere; one, a style of that unobtrusive character that spells dignity and refinement; one had strength and character reflected in the vigorous lines of decoration which stood out prominent and well modeled, then came the latest designs in hair creations, a spirited style for young misses and their lady seniors, while the plain, the simple and unadorned every day-like, straightforward feature was, too, in evidence. All these designs thought-ideas carefully planned, skillfully interwoven in such a well proportioned and harmonious blend that quality spoke in thundering language. How can one forget Zion's pageant of industry, intelligence ripened with culture, skilled art and musical progress? The people came and went, carefully inspected here and there, and such a pleasing radiant expression of pleasure and satisfaction lit up their faces that the atmosphere was thoroly charged with animated feelings of pride at such a showing for the Negroes, the greatest and best witnessed in Denver. Denver is proud of New Zion today, a thoroly different Zion of yesterday. She has progressed and the evidence is apparent. Monday night there was presented a magnificent historical development by the stereopticon, showing the growth and advancement of Denver from 1866 to 1916. The old settlers whose residence dated back more than 30 years were given a "Golden Jubilee badge" as a distinguishing mark of honor. Tuesday in the musical contests, so eagerly entered into by some of Denver's leading pianists, to show the highest skill, musical acumen and ability, Mrs. Minnie Hayes won the popular approval, together with a golden certificate of award and five dollars in gold. The second prize, a golden two and a half-dollar piece, was not awarded. Wednesday night was a night with the musical artists when "Hallelujah Chorus" from Handel's "Messiah" was given with telling effect. Prof. Wilberforce J. Whiteman (white), the best musical director in the city, handled the chorus of 100 voices superbly. No imagination can picture the reverent feeling inspired by the chorus. Thursday night was filled with notable speakers. Governor Carlson and many other prominent speakers, white and colored, took part. Friday night being the better baby contest, we are unable to report the results this week. Sunday Rev. Moore, former pastor of Zion, will speak. Rev. Moore is the man of nerve who set Philadelphia on fire. He is now pastoring in Columbus, Ohio. Hear him. The finance committee will be supplied with gold coin, exchanging it for silver and currency, so that everyone can take part in the truly Golden shower. All offerings in gold with the name of the donor will be published after the celebration. If such a grand, extraordinary religious, musical, artistic, industrial and mechanical exhibition does not inspire and cause you to give a gold coin to encourage and support such energy, brain power and nerve force requisite in the successful accomplishment of such a gigantic affair, The Star frankly says, we are at loss to know what event can. Zion was big enough and broad enough to make this a Denver affair; let all Denver be big enough and broad enough to reward Zion by substantial encouragement. Remember, Zion belongs to Denver. BAPTISTS AIR GRIEVANCES. Convention Held Recently at Lumber- ton, Miss. Scene of Warm Debate. Lumberton, Miss.—In an hour and fifty minute speech before the east Mississippi Baptist state convention recently held here Henry Allen Boyd, secretary of the Sunday School Congress and son of Rev. R. H. Boyd, D. D., secretary of the National Baptist publishing board, completely annihilated the Rev. Sutton E. Griggs, who preceded him in a two hour and ten minute speech before the same convention. The Rev. Mr. Griggs was supporting the incorporated side of the national Baptist convention and condemning the national Baptist publishing board at Nashville, Tenn. In the course of his argument the Rev. Mr. Griggs reviewed a long list of accusations against Dr. Boyd relative to his attitude and conduct of the publishing board. In answering the Rev. Mr. Griggs, Henry A. Boyd completely demonstrated to the satisfaction of the magnificent audience, using his own language, that "Rev. Mr. Griggs was not only false in one statement, but false in his entire presentation." Rev. Mr. Boyd presented the deeds and transfers to the property as his first proof that the charges were false. These deeds and transfers were passed upon by an eminent white lawyer of the Mississippi state senate, who declared after a thorough examination that every deed and transfer was correct. Step by step Rev. Mr. Boyd tote hotes in his opponent's speech, finally working Rev. Mr. Griggs up to the point where he lost his temper, and, with a mad and frantic look on his face, he advanced toward Mr. Boyd, who smilingly waved him off and told him to take his medicine. President Lee of the convention admonished Rev. Mr. Griggs that Rev. Mr. Boyd had sat quietly and smilingly throughout his (Griggs') address and had shown him every possible courtesy. The president insisted upon Rev. Mr. Griggs taking and keeping his seat while the Rev. Mr. Boyd poured, as it was announced here, grapeshot and shell into his antagonist. "I will prove conclusively to every minister on the floor of the convention that the Rev. Mr. Griggs, like many of those in his camp, is a monumental failure." He showed that the Rev. Mr. Griggs, his opponent, had collected thousands of dollars of the people's money under the gulse of building a theological seminary and that he could not show $500 in actual buildings in the way of a theological seminary. "Where is the people's money? What have you done with it?" said Mr. Boyd. The convention went wild, and Mr. Griggs became more excited and angry. At the conclusion it was the unanimous opinion of the east Mississippi convention that David had killed Goliath and that the national Baptist publishing board, with R. H. Boyd as secretary, at Nashville, Tenn., would continue to get the support of the Negro Baptists of the state of Mississippi because of the great and good work it is doing in not only sending out Negro Baptist literature, written, printed and bound by Negroes, but because it is giving employment to scores of Negro boys and girls.

(Phone Main 1702) WOMEN OF RARE MUSICAL TALENT Daughters of Celebrated Tragedian and Interpreter of the Shakespearean Drama Win Fame on Stage and In Musical Lore—European War Prevented Their Appearance in America. By JOHN E. BRUCE "GRIT." Just before the breaking out of the war in Europe I had some correspondence with the Misses Ira and Luranah Aldridge, daughters of the late Ira Aldridge, celebrated as a tragedian. A little over fifty years ago he was as famous as an interpreter of the Shakespearean drama as was Booth, Kean, Sir Beerbohm Tree or any of the later day stars on the English or American stage, judging from the flattering character of the press notices given him by the English, Russian, German and French dramatic critics of his day. The Misses Aldridge had written me in regard to an American tour—both MARIA MAYER IBA AND LURAHAH ALDRIDGE of them are musical—and I had taken some steps to engage a manager and publicity promoter for them when the war began, and our plan went awry. These ladies are living with their aged mother at Bedford Gardens, Kensington, England. One of them, Miss Lurahan Aldridge, is a noted singer and musical composer, writing under the pen name of Montagu Ring. The other, Miss Ira, is a vocalist and has made an enviable reputation on the stage in England, France and Germany, where she has appeared before the most select and critical audiences. On hearing her sing for the first time, at Queen's hall, London, July, 1901, Charlotte Heavisides Marshall, an English poetess, wrote in Gleanings by the Way and dedicated to her these beautiful verses: The magic of thy glorious voice Bank deep into my heart. Bank deep into thy heart, Awaking slumbering memories That bade the teardrops start. Fair memories of long vanished years, When thy father's genius shone A star in the dramatic world As radiant as thine own. Farewell, sweet gifted sisters both, Twin stars now shining bright, Your heavenly strains exalt the soul And spread diviner light. The Paris Figaro, 1903, speaking of her, said: "Miss Luranah Aldridge, the great singer, had a very great success at her concert on Wednesday," etc. The American Register, London, 1900, said: "Miss Luranah Aldridge's concert at Steinway hall was a decided success. The young singer possesses a sympathetic and rich contralto, which was heard to advantage in many different songs of varied countries and schools." The Referee, a London musical publication, says: "In spite of the popularity of the tango Messrs. Chappell continue to publish waltzes. One of the best of these is 'Laughing Love.' by Montagu Ring. This admirably reflects the spirit of the dance and is well calculated to animate the light fantastic toe." The Daily Telegraph. London, says: "At the Chappell concert one of the best of the notewrites was Montagu Ring's melodious and smoothly written song." The Bride, which was interpreted in impassioned style by Mr. Morgan Kingston." Of Miss Ira Aldridge's vocal ability the London Times says: "The vocal recital given by Miss Ira Aldridge in Stainway hall last Friday night at tracted a very large audience. He finished and artistic singing was exhibited in songs in various languages, among which must be mentionone Scarlatti's 'Gia Il Sole', the charming old German 'Ave Maria Zart,' the French 'Menuet d'Eaudet,' Schumann's fine 'Schatzgruber,' Coleridge Taylor's expressive 'African Love Song' and Goring Thomas' 'Heart's Fancies.' The style of these different lyrics was fully grasped, and in all success won." The London Musical Courier in its critique of the same recital said: "Miss Ira Aldridge, who gave a vocal recital in Steinway hall on the 5th inst., is a finished artist, who produces her voice with varied effect and according to the best methods. Her interpretation is thoroughly artistic and true to the intention of the composer. In favor of her beautiful voice and through being presented by Mme. Jenny Lind-Goldschmidt she was in girlhood selected scholar of the Royal College of Music. Later she studied under Mr. Henschel, two of whose songs, 'Morning' and 'Oh, Hush Thee, My Baby,' she sang on the present occasion." One of her best efforts was a group of three songs representing severally the early Italian school in an aria by Scarlatti, the German one in "Ave Maria Zart," dated 1675, and in the French style of the eighteenth century in the charming "Menuet d'Exaudet," doing full justice to modern composers in songs by Villiers Stanford, S. Coleridge-Taylor, S. Liddle and Goring Thomass. Miss Luranah Aldridge has a formidable list of vocal and instrumental compositions to her credit, which are being sung and played by musical artists all over England and the continent. In the New Alhambra theater, Leicester square, London, the Assyrian ballet presented by Theodor Kosloff in November, 1913, opened with the first of her African dances. In a letter to me, speaking of the effect which this weird music seemed to have produced on the critics, who spoke of her as a Russian composer, she wrote: "The ballet opens with the first of my African dances. The papers evidently think that Montagu Ring is a Russian. I have not troubled as yet to contradict." Miss Luranah Aldridge's musical compositions are published by thirteen or fourteen music publishing houses in London. Her vocal and instrumental productions seem to have struck a popular chord, and the output of her facile pen finds a ready sale and a popular reception among the higher class of artists and music lovers in England. If the war is soon brought to an end these two talented women, who have done so much with voice and pen in foreign lands to lift up the race of which their father was a notable and worthy example, may, if sufficient inducement is offered, visit the United States on tour and charm the music loving public with exhibitions of their wonderful art. In another private letter from Miss Luranah she speaks of her sister, Ira, who was visiting friends at Bath, England, and while there was urged and consented to sing at the celebrated Pump Room concert in 1908. One of her pupils, writing to her sister, Luranah, about the concert, said: "My dear Miss Aldridge, I am sure you and your mother would like to know that I have heard from several sources how beautifully your sister sang at the Pump Room. My aunt writes to me that all agree she has a glorious voice! I don't fancy they often hear such singing in Bath, and I can quite understand how much it was appreciated." The achievements of these brilliant and talented women ought to be an inspiration to every colored girl and woman in America who is musically inclined. What the Aldridge sisters have done and are doing they can do. Go to it, young women. The world is yours. Take it. ORPHANS' BENEFIT CONCERT Mise E. H. Merris Gives Fine Entertainment ment For Howard Orphanage. The Howard Orphanage and Industrial school, founded in Brooklyn and now located at Kings Park, N. Y. began the observance of its fiftyth anniversary with a classical concert, featuring compositions by colored authors, at Kismet temple, Brooklyn, on Thursday evening, Nov. 16. The concert was got up by Miss Etta Hamilton Morris, a white lady, who became much interested in the work the school is doing among more than 200 colored orphans. Miss Morris heard the children sing at a public meeting in one of the churches in Brooklyn not long ago and was greatly pleased with their efforts. She afterward held a conference with Mrs. Mary E. Gordon, who is the matron and superintendent of the orphanage, which resulted in the splendid entertainment above mentioned, which was a financial success. Among the noted composers who took part in the concert program were Harry T. Burleigh and J. R. Europe. The Philomela Gloe club and a string quintet under Felix Weir were also heard to good advantage. Dr. Elbert New State College Trustees The colored people of Wilmington. Del., are much gratified over the recent recognition accorded Dr. Samuel G. Elbert by his appointment to the trustee board of State college by Governor Miller. Although State college is composed of colored students, Dr. Elbert is the first man of the race to hold the position of trustee. He is well and favorably known throughout the state and was one of the late Dr. Booker T Washington's warmest friends. The institution is located near Dover.

Leading Educational Institution of Its Kind to Entertain Remarkably Important Gathering at Thrifty North Carolina Metropolis—Logical Outcome of Effort to Prevent Duplication. By N. BARNETT DODSON. The National Training school, Durham, N. C., is the Mecca to which educators, clergymen, business men and philanthropists will journey for the conference on education, to be held at that institution from Tuesday, Nov 21 to 24, inclusive. This conference will be one of the most significant gatherings which has ever assembled for the sole purpose of a thorough discussion of problems affecting the present and future well being of our race in the United States. The presidents of universities, colleges and secondary schools who have responded so nobly to Dr. James E. Shepard's invitation regard the coming meeting as the logical outcome of their pleadings for years to prevent duplication by the various schools in methods of training, curriculum sources of income and the like. That Dr. Shepard has succeeded in making A. B. DR. JAMES E. SHEPAED. It possible for such a conference to be held at his school under such favorable conditions is a matter of general satisfaction. Arrangements have been made to accommodate the members of the conference (who are such by their acceptance of the invitation)*free of charge, thus relieving them of any thought what ever as to cost of board and room are commodions for the week. There will be three sessions of the conference daily after Tuesday. Nov. 21. The conference will open on the above date a 10 o'clock a. m. The second session will begin at 2 o'clock p. m. After each speaker assigned to a pair the subject has spoken there will Irregular subjects may be a general discussion of any subject open to any member of the conference for one hour. A commission will be appointed by the conference to study the various facts brought out, to offer some concrete plan and to present the same to the public. Durham itself presents a field of study and inspiration which will be furnished by no other city of its size in the country. The splendid co-operation of the board of trustees of the national training school in all phases of the institution's efforts to provide adequate equipment for the training of special groups of students for special lines of work has been admirably shown. And again the financial assistance of other white friends of the race at the south and in the north through the influence of members of the board and the sound constructive work of Dr. Shepard made it possible for the school to enter upon the present year's work clear of debt. These are encouraging signs as to the extent white people are interested in promoting educational institutions for our people under the right kind of leadership. Just in proportion as these groups of white people in different sections of the country become informed as to the struggles, needs, aspirations and achievements of the colored people will our handicap be removed and a more friendly relation between the white and colored people be increased. The above statement is borne out from the fact that not only the leaders of our own racial institutions are to meet in the coming conference, but the governors of several states, heads of colleges for white people and state and county superintendents of schools have signified their intention to be present and have already announced subject-mon which they are to speak. Members of both races will await with interest the outcome of the conference. The report of the commission which will be appointed to sum up the views of the various speakers on the topics assigned to them will be a document much desired by educators, social service workers and especially boards in charge of funds for various objects of education. The citizens of Durham will co-operate in every way possible to make the stay of the visitors to the conference both pleasant and profitable. REUNION OF VIRGINIANS. Popular Brooklyn Organizations to Popular Brooklyn Organizations to Hold Annual Reception Dec. 4. The big organization event in Brooklyn for the first week in December will be the nineteenth annual reception of the Society of the Sons of Virginia. The reception, which is one of the society functions to which the public looks forward with great interest, will be held at Summer half, on Fulton street, on Monday evening. Dec. 4. John W. Winter, one of Brooklyn's well known and successful business men, is chairman of the reception committee, with James F. Filippin and J W. Patterson secretary and treasurer respectively. Harry P. Fisher's orchestra will furnish the music for the occasion, and the comfort of the guests will be looked after by Pleasant D. Early. The occasion will afford an opportunity for a general reunion of persons from Virginia, as well as a grand social intermingling of the public. The society is in fine condition financially and numerically—eighteen new members during the year—and has met all social obligations. President of the New York Baptist State Convention, Under Whose Administration the Organization Has Enjoyed Peace and Prosperity For the Past Three Years—Pastor of Union Baptist Church. M. New York.-The twenty-first annual meeting of the New York state colored Baptist convention, held at the Baptist temple in this city from Tuesday, Oct. 24, to Friday, Oct. 27, inclusive, was largely attended. The first two days were devoted to the work of the woman's auxiliary to the convention, whose president is Mrs. G. Richardson. Delegates were present from churches throughout Greater New York and many from cities and towns in the various sections of the state. The Sunday schools and young people's unions were represented by W. H. Johnson, president of the state Sunday school convention. The reports from the various church bodies represented in the convention showed that a splendid work had been done during the year to increase the membership and to raise money for home and foreign missions, education and the support of local community interests. The auxiliary presented to the general convention the sum of $100, and the Sunday school and B. Y. P. U. department donated the sum of $75. The auxiliary held three sessions each day, which were crowded with work and filled with interest. The general convention convened on Thursday, Oct. 26, at 2:30 o'clock in the afternoon with the president, Rev. Dr. G. H. Sims, pastor of the Union Baptist church, presiding. After the devotional exercises were concluded the president appointed the various committees and then delivered his annual address, in which he gave a brief account of the convention's achievements. There were several special sermons and addresses delivered on the subjects of education, Baptist doctrine, missions and appeals for funds to meet the needs of the missionaries on the foreign field. This latter subject was discussed by Miss Taylor, who has just recently returned from her post of duty in Africa, and by Dr. L. G. Jordan, corresponding secretary of the national Baptist foreign mission board, in Philadelphia. Among the ministers and educators from out of town were the Rev W. Bishop Johnson, L.L. D. of Washington, who is the president of the New England Baptist missionary convention; the Rev. Dr. J. C. Austin, pastor of the Ebenezer Baptist church, Pittsburgh, who preached one of the most instructive sermons delivered to the convention; Dr. R. C. Woods, president of the Virginia seminary and college at Lynchburg, Va.; Dr. W. J. Winston of Baltimore, Dr. W. B. Reed of Hartford, Conn., and other well known men and women. The Rev. Dr. Sims was re-elected president of the convention. Under his administration for the past three years the organization has enjoyed great peace and prosperity. Much credit is due the Rev. M. B. Hucless, pastor of the Baptist temple, for the able manner in which he and the members of the temple entertained the delegates and visitors. The receipts on the closing night of the convention amounted to over $800. MEMORIAL FUND LEADERS. New Jersey's Big Effort to Perpetuate Dr. Washington's Memory. There is to be no let up by members of the race in the matter of raising funds for the Tuskegee (Ala.) institute as a memorial to its founder and its principal until his death on Nov. 14, 1915. The colored people of the country are well organized into memorial fund committees in nearly all of the large cities, and in the rural districts there are leaders appointed to look after the work and report to Emmett J. Scott, secretary at the Tuskegee institute. The New Jersey committee set its mark at $10,000, the sum it is endeavoring to raise by popular subscription. The committee is composed of the following well known professional and business men: Dr. George E Cannon, president, 854 Pacific avenue, Jersey City: Dr. W. G. Alexander, vice president, 14 Webster place, Orange, N. J.; John S. Pinkman, treasurer, 42 Plane street, Newark, N. J., and W. P. Burrell, executive secretary, 22 Jones street, East Orange, N. J. Under the leadership of these men the work is kept steadily before the people. Welton Market and Dept. Store Welton Market and Dept.
