The Freeman

Advertising Returns from The Freeman are the Convincing Proofs of its Circulation THE FREEMAN A NATIONAL ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER NO GREAT SUCCESS IS THE VERDICT OF A PARSON ON THE MANAGEMENT OF THE A. M. E. BOOK CONCERN. DR. LEAK TAKEN TO TASK A Dereliction of Duty Somewhere-- Discoveries of Importance--Why Does Dr. J. M. Henderson Represent the Publication Board? The lines of the A. M. E. church is as liable to become soiled as that of any other religious body. Contact with this world will inevitably be productive of some spots of dirt. But where will the washing be done and who will be the manager of the laundry? is the question. For a number of years the business has had its headquarters in New York, at least the manager of the laundry resided there. The purifying process has been conducted through the secular press. The headquarters for the present quadrennium will be in Philadelphia. From that vantage ground the work can be carried on more successfully. Dr. John M. Henderson's article in the Freeman of the 27th ult. comes as a great surprise to many of us in the far away Southland. Truly does Dr. Henderson say that Dr. Leak "has no particular fitness for this office." It only shows the folly of men when they lose their heads. To be fair with Dr. Leak, it can safely be said that he not only entered upon his work as manager of the book concern with "no special zeal or ambition," but as an honest man, and as a far seeing man, he dreaded the breakers. As a presiding elder in a state where he had spent his best years, and over men whom he had "made," Dr. Leak is a howling success, but as manager of a great publishing house, of a great church, Dr. Leak is a failure—an honest failure. I am not surprised at what seems to be Dr. Leak's trouble; but at the course things are taking. What was the use of this great hurry in bringing Dr. Leak to account? Who authorized the House of Bishops to examine the affairs of a general officer? What has become of the Publication Board? What body constituted the bench of bishops, a board of examiners of the publication department? Dr. Leak has been in office a little over twelve months. Every general board in the connection has been called and has held its annual meeting with the exception of the publication board, of which Dr. Leak is manager, and Bishop Derrick president. It is said that it was at last discovered that the general conference had no authority to create a general board for the publication department, according to the provisions of the charter. We have been a long time finding this out, but as ```markdown ``` B.F. THOMAS GMA MRS. DR. I GARDAN PENN, Atlanta, Georgia. --- VOLUME XIV NUMBER 38. soon as it was discovered that the board must consist of Philadelphia preachers and laymen, the manager finds himself held up to the world as being a defaulter in less than twelve months from the time that he had fairly settled himself down in office. If the Philadelphia board has held a meeting why don't they report? meeting why don't you report. I am not trying to fight Dr. Leak's battle, for everybody knows that Dr. Leak does not need my aid. Dr. Henderson begins his article by saying: "I have been requested by those high in authority to write a careful and full statement of the recent history of the Book Concern." This "high authority" must have been a bishop or a number of bishops. Why didn't the "authority" do its own writing? Was it for lack of ability or was it simply beneath the authority's dignity? Then, with "reluctance" (?) Dr. Henderson undertakes the task. Who ever heard of our good friend, Henderson, rosting a fellow with "reluctance." We admit that these "facts and figures" of Dr. Henderson's (if the facts are truths, and the figures are accurate) are startling. But 1 fail to see the wisdom in washing our soiled linen by this process. It Dr. Henderson's exposition of the condition of the Book Concern proceeds from authority, there is no earthly power to have kept it out of the official organs of the church. If these conditions really existed when this bishop's examining board reached their findings, was this the way to remedy it? If it was the intention of this high council to inform the church of the facts in the case, why not speak through the mouth piece of the church. That, it seems to me, would have been the surest way of reaching the ear of the connection. Dr. Henderson is a writer of ability, and his productions always make good reading matter. Really there are none like unto him. But he should not make some unknown responsible for his attack on the Book Concern. It is an open secret that from a business point of view, the General Conference erred in the selection of Dr. Leak to this position. But it will be hard to convince the church that Leak is not as honest as any general officer that has filled any position for the last fifty years. See? The real truth is, that after the first ballot for bishops was cast, and three of the most popular men in the church were declared elected, the rank and file lost interest, comparatively, and several men were elected by acclimation from bishops down. The election of Dr. Leak was by no means the only mistake made, neither was it the biggest blunder. Dr. T. W. Henderson was only too glad to shake off the management; and to tell the truth, the general conference had to almost beg some one to take it. The reason was plain. Now since this public washing has commenced, and since it was authorized by "those high in authority" let the whole truth come. The shaky condition of the Book Concern is not of recent occurrence by any means, and nobody knows that better than Dr. Henderson. Until Dr. Leak can get a hearing, every conservative minded man would plead for a suspension of judgment. B.F. THOMAS GMB. --- INDIANAPOLIS IND., SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 21, 1901 M. DR. WILLIAM J. SIMMONS, One of the Founders of the National Baptist Association. there seems to be still that same old entanglement of lines between the editor and manager. It is mentioned, however, as something new. If, however, the thing is as bad as Dr. Henderson describes it, Dr. Johnson, the editor, is less than a man to endure it; and then ory like a baby, and turn to the "irrepressible J. M. Henderson" for relief. If Leak does not allow Johnson to write editorials, why could not Johnson, himself, tell the church? But let that pass. The rehearsal of the wild, visionary scheme about Dr. Leak proposing to unite his district with the eight, and then lassoing the districts of Bishops Salters, Lee, Tanner and Turner and thus rule the church, is interesting reading matter.

To the Public at Large.-ton Griffin is here by anganize clubs or conventions One might suppose by this article that I am a supporter of Dr. Leak for the management. Not so, I did not vote for him, and would not vote for him again. Scores of those who did vote to sweep him into office had an ax to grind. They did not vote "for the best man for the place" but voted with a view of getting a good place for themselves. Since the grand old hero of many battles is elected, give him a man's chance, in the meantime let Dr. Leak or somebody else tell the church what has become of the General Board of Publication, elected by the general conference; and if the general conference made a mistake in electing a board, tell us who are the members.

Searcy has been out of the city for some time in the interest of the educational work he is engaged in. We ask our people, in Heaven's name, the next time they call a mass meeting to draft resolutions for Rev. Ewing or anybody else, to keep those white reporters away and not invite them in our midst to see a lot of Aunt Hagar's children act so ugly as they did a few Sundays ago at Zion hall. ON THE WING.—Little Rock, Ark.—I left Memphis, Tenn., August 26, 1901, and am spending a couple of weeks here. This town is situated on the Arkansas river, in Pulaski county. The population is—white, 25 329; colored, 22 006, in city and county. There are three A. M. E Zion churches, five A. M. E, two C. M. E., one Episcopal, known here as the blue veins, one Congregational, one Presbyterian, ten Baptist, one so-called Church of God, better known as the Do-Rights, one church of the Sanctified. There are five colored physicians, two dentists, one large undertaker's establishment. There are five or six well to do colored men, worth from $10,000 to $75,000 each, and a good percentage of our people own their homes—many of them pretty six and ten room cottages. The Methodist Ministers' Union meets every Monday morning, where each makes report of progress and discuss important questions. Then they have the Preacher's Alliance, which meets every fifth Monday for the purpose of devising ways and means to sustain an Old Peoples' Home. Ministers PRICE FIVE CENTS, SINGLE COPY--SIX MONTHS, $550.: ONE YEAR, $1.50 of all denominations meet in this meeting and seem to work in accord, and yet I find there are a few old time Baptists who still hold that a Methodist preacher is not fit to preach in their pulpits. There are three colleges — Philander Smith, M. E. Church, Arkansas Baptist College, and Shorter University of A. M. E. church. E. W. SADDLER. Pearl Fishing in Arkansas. Newport, Ark., Special.—A new industry is developing in the Bear State in the line of pearl fishing. So great is the excitement that all other business is almost at a stand still for want of labor. Servants in private families are in great demand on account of women and children being out pearl fishing. This industry does not necessitate the outlay of one bit of capital, but many are fishing on an extensive scale—boats, tongs and an evaporator, in which the muscles are heated to make them open. All classes of people—the rich and poor, the blacks and the whites may be seen wading in water up to their neck, with one hand they hold their nose while they dive down and bring up the shells with the other. Hundreds of pearls are obtained in this way, and many of them are worth all the way from $50 to $2,000. To wear an Arkansas pearl is the rage among society people; it is no uncommon thing to see colored ladies and gentlemen wearing jewelry studded with White and Black river pearls. These pearls are of various sizes, shapes and colors—from a pure white to a jet black. Car loads of shells, from which the pearls are obtained, are shipped to the pearl button factories in the East. Your correspondent, while sojourning in these parts, is making himself familiar with the pearl business that he may, on returning to Mississippi, examine the waters around and about Yazoo City, Roseeneath and Belzoni. The drought is yet unbroken in the central part of the State, and all except the pearl hunters are beginning to realize its effects. Corn is a failure; cotton not a fourth of a crop and stock dying of thirst. Dr. J M Robinson a graduate of Meharry and a former resident of Pickens, Miss, is doing a successful practice here.

WORK FOR WOMEN AS OUTLINED BY A MEMBER OF THE NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF COLORED WOMEN. UTTER REGARD FOR VIRTUE Is Seen in a Number of Cities and Towns of the South--Teeming Vices in the North--The Harvest is Abundant and the Laborers Few. Now that the second Biennial of the National Association of Colored Women is over, what shall we as women of the organization do? Shall we discuss the proceedings of the last meeting, whisper the commendable features on part of one another, and ory aloud one another's mistakes until we grow hoarse, then rest up till time for the next meeting which is to be held in St. Louis, in 1903, where we will go with gilt edge reports from our several clubs, make flowery speeches, get applause, and then rest again? or shall we from this very month begin looking up the many things needed to be done for ourselves and for the bettermen of our whole people between this and the next meeting? I would suggest the latter, and add to it by suggesting that we not only learn what is to be done, but do. Each doing a little will accomplish much. When we remember that a race is judged by the thoughts, doings and sayings of the majority, then see the ignorance and poverty on the Southern plantations, farms and country villages, the sin, intemperance and little regard for virtue in our towns and cities of the South, the teaming vices of the many of our people in the cultivated cities of the North, we realize the truth, that the harvest is great and the laborers are few. Whatever our capabilities, or our complexion, we can rise no higher than the race that claims us. We rise with its triumphs and go down with its defeats. Since the question of rising, remaining in a state of inertia, or sinking lower seems to be the duty of us to solve, let us at once get more earnestly at the solution. Let us get among the people in our different sections and teach by our higher intelligence and lift by our greater strength. Again let us as women of the association work in harmony, live in peace and love one another as sisters should. We can grow strong by borrowing from one another the strength that is peculiar to different individuals. And if it is our desire to work together for the uplifting of our people Christ our Savior will guide and strengthen us, and ere long the world will see an improved condition of the whole colored race of America.

The indications are that the fellowship and good cheer which characterized all previous meetings of the Head and Second Waiters National Benefit Association will be fully maintained at its approaching meeting in Buffalo, N Y., September 23-25, 1901. The auxiliary organization has been uniring in its [Name not visible] Headwater Forest City Hotel, Cleveland, efforts to prepare a fitting welcome and to furnish suitable entertainment for the larger body. The names of the gentlemen forming the reception committee is a sufficient guarantee that the creature comforts of their guests and the social functions attending their visit will tend to lighten their weightier deliberations and enhance the benefits to accrue therefrom. In extending fraternal greetings to the brothers we are reminded of the [Picture of a man in a suit with a bow tie]. ROBT. GRANT, Headwaiter McLure Hotel, Wheeling, W. Va. ROBT, GRANT, Headwaiter McLure Hotel, Wheeling, W.Va. difficulties through which they have passed to attain their present height of organized efficiency, and we are aware of the lingering hindrances to complete success. We are confronted with the waiter's narrowing opportunities through foreign competition and rare prejudice, as well as from the apathy of those who hold the business of a waiter in light esteem. But those things should not deter us from pressing forward, conscious that as long as man's M. B. WM. ANDREWS, Hendwiler Arena Hotel, Atlanta, Ga.

The selection of a leader for the organization during the ensuing year will, Headwaiter Clarendon Hotel, Zanesville, O. Representative The Freeman and Candidate for Vice President H. & S. W. N, B. A. in all probability, be the most important matter claiming the attention of the delegates. It is the universal hope that wisdom will guide the selection and that the man chosen will command the respect and deserve the confidence of those who have a right to look to the organization for guidance. The occupation of the waiter is no longer sought by the ignorant and vicious, nor are its fruits to be gathered by those who have failed in other walks of life. On the contrary the system demands a high grade of intelligence, moral character and devoted services are among the requirements of the profession. If the race is to furnish its quote of those who will serve in this [Picture of a man] honorable calling its leadership must be entrusted to an enlightened, judicial and conservative man who will be uninfluenced by race prejudice in a crisis when holding the scale between employer and employee.

W. N. B.

The numerical strength of the guild of the waiters in the United States, and the enlightenment to be found in the ranks demands an executive whose personality will create enthusiasm and whose capabilities will leave no doubt of his ability to meet the requirements of the difficult position. Happily such a man may be found in the organization. May the choice be spontaneous and unanimous. A MEMBER. The Second Annual Convention of the H. and S. W. N. B. A. It looks as though this year's convention of the Head and Second Waiters' National Association (Buffalo, September 23-25) will be largely attended. It is said that several important amendments to the constitution will be offered and that other business of equally vital interest will be taken up. There is a great deal of speculation as M. B. A. L. HARRIS, Neil House, Columbus, O. to who will be elected officers for the ensuing year. The leading candidates for the position of president are W. Alonzo Locke, Cairo, Ill., the present officer, E. T. Montgomery, of the Bailey Catering Co., Buffalo, and E. H. Harper, of the Mansion, Brooklyn, (during the summer at the Cataract House, Niagara Falls.) For secretary, those who have been mentioned most frequently are C. W. Henderson, Cleveland, O.; C. M. Farrar, Baltimore, Md.; Charles E. W. Buckner, this city. For vice president the principal candidates are H. Pettigrew, Pittsburg, Pa.; J. J. Miles, Milwaukee, Wis., and E. C. Holland, Zanesville, O. Following are the names of the association's members at present located in Buffalo: Chas. E. W. Buckner, W. B. Keys, C. W. Henderson, E. T. Montgomery, W. R. Harris, A. E. Jenkins.

ASSASSINATIONS For the third time in the history of his country the chief executive has been laid low by the assassin's hand. "That death loves a shining mark" has been too well exemplified by the taking off of three of the most beloved men that ever graced the presidential chair. Owing to the circumstances of Lincoln's day he was not at his death the idol of a united country. But his vast service to mankind has not failed to wring from mankind a just recognition of his eminent worth, and to day he is gloriously memorialized, immortalized in stone, bronze, and, furthermore, in the hearts of his countrymen everywhere regardless of sectional lines, races or creeds. President Garfield, like the lamented McKinley, was enjoying immense popularity at home and abroad, such as is seldom allotted the heads of governments, when, lo! to the world's astonishment, a Giteau rushes on the scene, and the rest is known. Owing to the high tensioned times the natural con-commitants of a civil war the assassination of Lincoln was not entirely unexpected, or if unexpected was not the matter for such complete surprise as the two later events. Political ambition and its disappointments were urged as the actuating motives for the death of Garfield, a very flimsy reason for plunging the nation in grief and distress. The individual had to stand for the very grave crime of murder—a regicide, so to speak, which of necessity worked harm to the individual's own family and immediate circle of friends. When one's self esteem is carried to such a pitch it is no wonder that the question of sanity is mooted. For the death of President McKinley there is no reason assigned. He dies at the dictates of an order of assassins who have set themselves up as the high priests of all earth, caballing and plotting for the overthrow of its rulers because they fail to measure up to their fanatically conceived standards, signing away the lives of the earth's best as they would jostle puppets on a board. This world of governments, to their notion, must be fashioned according to their liking. The wisdom of ages, counts, but naught with them: it must be set aside to accommodate a whim, a caprice, a fancy Mr. McKinley was universally loved and respected; even those whom he opposed through the virtue of his office were made to feel that it was a reluctant opposition. The conduct of his administration has been so wise, yet so conservative, so full of humanity that the era in which we live was bidding fair to become the country's greatest in its tendency to wipe out sectional lines and differences. In his state papers he always called attention to the existing wrongs of his own country, disfranchisements, lynchings or what not. We speak advisedly here, for now and then in the past, he had been reminded of the outrages against Negroes, in a manner that would indicate that all was not being done that could be done; but these walls were few and far between, as is proven by that generous outburst of sympathy that has welled forth from the hearts of black men and women the country over. The death of President McKinley has called forth more expressions of profound sympathy and regrets than that of any THE FREL AN: AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPE man of modern times. As before stated, the sympathy is universal. He grew rapidly in the estimation of the people from the time of his first inauguration, when his great Godlike qualities were not so well known. Time has served to fix him an enduring place in the hearts of the now sorrowing people. He demonstrated his great capacity, his matchless poise and humanenass, hence this outpouring of hearts. The President's death will justly call for the expulsion or suppression of societies formed for the purpose of striking down the heads of governments. Free speech, guaranteed by the constitution, must not be construed as license, the liberty to strike down the institution that makes the privilege possible. Let these discontents ply their vocation elsewhere. Our country is entirely too small for the introduction of their theories. They can erect governments to their own liking in other climes. The many millions here are far too content with their form of government to allow a handful of revolutionists to change it. The brood of anarchists and kindred institutions are a menace to civilized society. Society cannot afford to pay the cost. --- Theodore Roosevelt is now President of the United States. He needs no introduction to the American public. His conduct as a private citizen, as an office holder and as a soldier is well known. It establishes his fitness for the great office which has fallen to him. His speeches have shown the trend of his thoughts along political lines. These stand approved by the people who have never failed to accord him distinguished consideration wherever he has gone. Furthermore he has given it out that he intends to follow well the foot prints of the matchless McKinley as they concern the government's policies and political activities. Colonel Roosevelt, already greatly loved for his brilliancy and well tempered aggressiveness, is expected to perpetuate the popularity of the administration. He is of high capability and gives every promise of maintaining the status quo of the government in all of its recent undertakings and successfully conducting such new ones as may fall his lot as the incumbent of the presidential chair. "The Crime of Lynching," a sermon by Rev. Quincy Ewing of St. James Episcopal church, Greenville, Miss, in which he, a white gentleman, arraigns his race for the monstrous crime is a decided step towards heading off the evil. The reverend gentlemen spared no pains in dealing out the truth, dealing with plain facts in unvarnished terms. The effort is but the first of a movement on foot in the South to crush out the evil and to restore the South its fair name for chivalry, charity and high purposes. We can only insist, as usual, that the Negroes play their part well by ably seconding this effort and not allow these high purposed individuals to suffer discomfiture by any act they may tend to reverse the tide. The Negroes will do well to follow up the advantage of the sentiment against lawlessness which means very much to them. The white man has traditions along certain lines. There is no necessity of an invasion on the part of Negroes no matter about the rigidity of the unwritten laws. The execution of the laws can be better demanded when the laws are better respected. We will not justify criminal excesses by holding up the crimes of white men. We will emulate their virtues but discard their vices. The white man is not on trial. The Americans have learned to associate the old English idea of succession in government with their own. The king cannot die is the theory. There can come no interruption of government, no interregnum; the moment the ruler dies there is "created" a new one. Hence, "The king is dead; long live the king." The President in that general sense cannot die McKinley may succumb to an assassin's bullet or a dread disease, but the title is at once vested in some one else. It is now said that $50,000 is on the head of President Roosevelt. What next? Exentent—ye generation of vipers O 'Two Souls with but a Single Thought' Marked Tree, Ark., Sept 19 1901, Special—October 2 1901, at 7:30 p. m at Clark Memorial M E.

[Picture of a man in a suit with a tie]. DR. S. L. MITCHAM THE G. A. R. AT CLEVELAND. Distress and misfortune truly makes the whole world akin. Unmistakable evidences of this was shown at the G. A R. demonstration at Cleveland last week. The Cleveland Plaindealer of the 12th inst. has given forth to the world utterances of men that are far more indicative of that brooding peace between the races than noted elsewhere within the last decade. We say brooding peace, trusting that subsequent events will fully justify the prophecy. When one reads what follows, who is it to say that the prophecy is unwarranted? Was it merely the rugged peaks of racial differences mellowed down by the great calamity and which is to be of temporary endurance only? Is it after all, this great national calamity, the hand of God felt in the passing of the purest gem of the political firmament, to teach the nations the law of mutual regard? Dismissing the idea of Providential intervention, yet the occasion has invoked a common sorrow that will tend to lessen racial woes, the result of the laws of sympathy. The following uttered amid the throes of a dying President will be construed as the result of the misfortune: Aged and bent colored veterans many from the center of the black belt of the south, relieved their pent up feelings with tears and shouts together with hundreds of their white comrades from nearly every state in the union last night at the Grays' armory. As the camp fire of the colored troops progressed the successive speakers seemed to be inpaired by some unseen power and many of the sentiments expressed will pass into history as the most remarkable of the entire encampment. Questions that politicians have been in the habit of discussing almost in whispers, fearful of stirring up intense feeling were handled by notable men last night with unguarded frankness. Gen. O. O. Howard, the idol of the colored civil war veterans, started a campaign against anarchy and lynch law with a ringing speech that he says he purposes to end in the halls of congress. "There are no black men and no white men here tonight," said the beloved general, "but this hall is filled with grand American citizens. "The bloody days of war are over, but new perils threaten the nation that must be strangled, and strangled at once" "Anarchy, the venomous spirit of hate and malice, is rearing its hissing head in this country. And with all my strength I wish to sink into your minds the fact that anarchy is treason. "It is now the duty of congress to pass certain laws that will go after treason with the force of a trip hammer. Laws must be enacted that will be carried out if every Anarchist that roams in our great cities has to bite the dust." “The awful custom of lynching American citizens without any show being given the bleeding victims must also be stamped out. The satanic spirit of hell that these awful scenes breath forth is only half the pity But the fact that the majesty of the law i being trampled upon is the great curse o these terrible affairs.” * * * * * * * * “This, my dear comrades, is probably the last time the old man will see you. I love you, colored and white, you're all the same to me, and so in departing I leave you in the hands of the God of the heavens and of all peoples.” Says Governor Nash of Ohio: “I do not propose to talk about the deeds of the colored people, for we all know them and the people of Ohio are magnanimous enough to acknowledge them. "But I do propose to talk about the result of that war. When it was ended no longer did human slavery exist in this country. "And then the colored man acquired the same right to obtain property and to vote that I possessed. "But what I do want to say is that the A. E. MISS IDA MA I DOTSON movement to disfranchise the Negro already started in some of the states, is a burning outrage. You who have fought for the preservation of the union are not to be disfranchised by those who fought against it. "And I stand here to tell you that a great work is left for us to do and a terrible blot on our country's record must be wiped away. "And I am not ashamed of the record of Ohio in regard to the evil of lynch law. On the contrary I am proud that there has not been a lynching in Ohio for some years. But one attempt has been made and that at Akron. The attempt was frustrated happily for the honor of Ohio and over twenty five of those who attempted the great crime are now behind the penitentiary walls. "But the nation must be aroused and the honor of law and true Americanism held up for the benefit of all men in our grand commonwealth." Hon. C. W. Anderson of New york, to whom the colored citizens of the country are proud to refer, was then introduced. Instead of saying complimentary things about the war record of his race, he called upon them to rise to even greater perils that now surrounds them and to fight another battle for the opportunity of enjoying an equal chance in the race of life. As he told of the loyalty of the colored troops the veterans before him fairly shouted their approbation. And if the colored man cheered, his white brother joined with applause equally as loud. The enthusiasm of the audience over the burning address of Mr. Anderson had a remarkable effect upon many of the colored troops in the hall. These old soldiers had journeyed to Cleveland from the cotton fields of the far south, where such scenes as that enacted at Grays' armory last night are unheard of and practically impossible. They gazed about in open mouthed astonishment and then many of them gave way and wept like children. It is evident that the vicious and lawless must part company with the good and law abiding. Anarchy and lynching, so roundly denounced at Cleveland, are two wide spread evils, abominable institutions that have demonstrated their capabilities for mischief. The President and the whole country have felt the sting of one, the Negroes have long suffered at the hands of the mob. It is to be hoped that the determination to put eiter under foot will not be momentary or spasmodic, but rather that it will be as deep and determined as the love now evinced for the dead chieftain, whose loss we all mourn. The National Baptist Convention, which was held in Cincinnati last week, was in all respects a representative affair. Many of the ablest men of the country were in attendance, lending their aid and influence in shaping the policies of the great Baptist church. The white press of the country was very generously disposed towards the assembly and its doings The expressions of love on the part of Negroes, called forth by the death of President McKinley, breathed patriotism in that intense sense, as it should be. The love of country and regard for rightfully constituted authority are the highest civic virtues. The Republicans of Indianapolis have put an excellent ticket in the field from Charles A. Bookwalter for mayor down. The colored voter will take great pleasure in supporting it as will the majority of voters of the city. The Baptists, in convention at Cincinnati, passed appropriate resolutions expressive of their regret owing to the assassination of the president.

Notes from Richard & Pringles' Georgia minstrels—Tacoma, Wash. —We are again in the states and have had so far no change in our business. I rather think our show will have to change its name from the Famous Georgias to the Raglan Georgias, that's the name the West is giving us, as numbers of the boys have as many as two aplice, purchased in Canada. We have just enjoyed another fine trip off the cars, though one of the vehicles containing some of us was ditched in a horrible shape no one was hurt, and all went well. After we play Seattle and Portland we will rest until we reach Kansas City. We all report well and look the same. The most of us are fast becoming great favorites in the West. We met Harry Stafford, one of the old musicians in Tacoma; he is doing nicely. From King & Bush's big colored minstrels.—Our roster is: F. B. Miller, manager. J. Ed.

GREATER NEW YORK — Thomas Brown's Troubadours are in town, having closed a very successful season through the New England states. Williams & Walker's company in "Sons of Ham" opened their season Monday 16 at Mt. Vernon, N Y, to fine business. Allie Brown, the sensational slack wire artist, and Miss Annie Ross were quietly married in this city last week. The affair was quite a surprise to many of the friends of both. Dudley and Ormes have closed their engagement with Tom Brown's Troubadours, and after a two weeks' rest at their residence in this city, they will open on the Shea circuit. Brandow and Arlington are at Districk's Casino this week. Joe and Sadie Britton are strong favorites at the Atlantic Garden. Howard Wooldridge and J. H.

W. Dunston, the popular song writer, is in town from Saratoga. Mr. Dunston says that he has just finished a song that is sure to become more popular than his "Lady Lu."

The Bowery Burlesque have always been abreast of the demands in all that pretends to Burlesque and Vaudeville, but this season they have made a long stride in advance of all the prescribed bounds and present enough burlesque, vaudeville and novelty to make two ordinary shows. This company will be seen at the Empire Theatre commencing Monday matinee Sept 22. The scenery of the company, the costumes and sittings are rich and elaborate, the best that money can produce. CURS JOURNALISTS AND LITERARY FOLKS By Charles Alexander. The Road to Ridgeby's. By Frank Burlingame Harris. Small, Maynard & Company Boston, Mass. 834 pages. With the wonderful development of the great West new material is gathered for great works of fiction. This romance of the Iowa Wheat Fields, while a simple story of farm life, is as powerful as anything we have read in recent years. The picture here given is true in every detail to real life. The characters are of the kind one would expect to find in a country like our western country; and the real heroism portrayed has a tendency to make the reader better by strengthening his belief in the truth of self-sacrifice and the ultimate survival of sturdy American manhood. There is a beauty in the tender simplicity of these Western characters that will continue to interest us. We are richly rewarded when we read a book like "The Road to Ridgeby's." It is disclosed that the author of "The Private Stable," which Little, Brown & Company of Boston, Mass, originally published under the pseudonym of "Jorrocks," is the well-known horseman, James A. Garland, Mr. Garland's work was received by the press with entire approval. It goes with the utmost thoroughness into all the details of the equipment and management of a private stable; tells how to choose servants; gives full instructions as to livery; treats of the proper care of horses: furnishes estimates of expenses; describes saddles, bits, carriages, stalls – in short, proves itself almost an encyclopedia of everything pertaining to its subject. + The Grapes of Wrath. By Mary Harriott Norris. Small, Maynard & Company, Boston. Mass. 345 pages. So many great American novels are appearing from the publishers that we are, and must be, careful what praise we sing to any one of them. But really this is a great American novel one that stirs the patriotic soul from its depth. It is one of those equally balanced books that is so frankly and sweetly written that it pleases both North and South alike. The story is rapidly developed from the fortunes, amid the victisitudes of war, of an old New Jersey family, one son of which had settled in Virginia, becoming a general in Lee's army. The narrative is vigorous and in part thrilling without any cheap heroics and with little fighting. It is one of those books that will serve a good purpose. I will show to both the North and the South a picture that will help each to resolve never to again engage in military conflict. Science and Christianity. By F Bettex. Jennings and Pye, Cincinnati, Ohio. 326 pages. As a rule, books discussing science and religion are too dry and learned to interest the average reader. This cannot be said of the present volume.

It prove that the forces of nature are quite as mysterious as are the workings of mind. It proves that the destinies of humanity are hidden from us; that the earth is ever moving onward, and that in common with all that exists, it has a purpose and a destination. The writer puts an interrogation point after the word "Progress," and says: "In spite of the boasted advance in statecraft and the art of government, in theology and jurisprudence, the tide of anarchy and socialism continues to rise, threatening to swamp society. Thrones and religions, beliefs and laws, are tottering; crime and idleness increase, and make a mock of God and man; medical and educational science are continually celebrating new triumphs, yet everywhere one hears complaints of the increase of nerve and brain disorders." The interrogation point appears to be in the right place when it follows the word "Progress," but faith brings to all happiness. Science is a factor in the problem involved in the term "Christianity." This work will encourage the right kind of scientific research and will help to unify our common knowledge. Elizabeth S. Tilley has not written, but illustrated, a story for young people entitled "The Magic Key," which Little, Brown, & Company will publish this fall. It is a fairy story of a modern kind. + Little, Brown, & Company will publish a new edition of Nora Perry's favorite story, "Another Flock of Girls," uniform with "Hope Benham." "A Rosebud Garden of Girls," and "A Flock of Boys and Girls." This new edition will be illustrated by Reginald B. Birch and Charles Copeland. + Ralph Waldo Emmerson. By Frank B Sanborn. Small, Maynard & Company. Boston, Mass. 140 pages. How sympathetic! How delightful! This, it seems to us, is an epitome of Emmerson's philosophy as well as a condensed history of his career. Such a biography must be admired by all those who find the demands of active life too numerous to admit of reading a lengthy book. The twenty pages of preliminary chronology found in the first part of the book is of much value; but the gentle flow of language employed in the telling of the story of the life of a great constructive as well as systematic philosopher is far more valuable and gives greater delight to the reader. The anecdotes too, add greatly to the interest must always be admired even by those who differ with him as regards his religious opinions and the philosophy which made him famous. Wilberforce, Ohio. THE HERO OF BUFFALO J. B. Parker, a Waiter for the Bailey Catering Company at the Exposition, Saves the Life of President McKinley. New York, September 9.-J. B. Parker, the negro waiter who prevented the anarchist from firing a third shot into President McKinley's body, is said by his associates in New York to be as fearless as he is strong, and as modest as he is fearless. Parker, who lives when in New York at 450 Sixth avenue, is popular, but is feared because of his tremendous strength. The strangle hold, the one he tried on the anarchist with such success, is known to tew men outside professional wrestlers, but it is known to Parker, who learned it when he lived in Georgia. Parker was recommended for a place in the Atlanta postoffice during McKinley's first Address The Freeman, Indianapolis, Ind.

He passed his civil service examination and obtained a place as a letter carrier. He was obliging and courteous and made many friends during his four years' service. He resigned his place, not because of any dissatisfaction with him, but because he was ambitious to become more than a letter carrier. A TERROR TO THIRVES. It was during the Charleston earthquake that Parker's strangle hold came in good stead. When the robbery of the dead and the looting of wrecked houses began, he went from Atlanta and offered his services as a policeman in Charleston. The negroes were giving the most trouble, and Parker, with his tremendous size and strength, wrenched the neck of more than one thief. He was more feared than any other man who had helped to guard the stricken city. When Parker came to New York he had no friends, but had saved his money, and being a man of excellent habits, he soon found good employment. He is said to be much better off in a financial way than the average negro. A story illustrating Parker's influence among other negroes is told by his associates. During the race lots in New York in the summer of 1900, it was dangerous for a negro to venture out on the west side of the city, between Twenty third and Forty second streets. The negroes were panic-streken and many were ready to commit violence. Parker advised the negroes to keep cool and to stay off the street, and above all things keep out of rows. His advice is said to have been followed by many men. *Parker is a factor in Republican politics in his district. Item of News. Clinton, Ia., Special.—Mrs. A. M.

Church In 1867 the Western Christian Association with Dr. J. M. Walden (now bishop) as secretary, the work of industrial training had already been begun, and at that date when this association was merged into the Freedmen's Aid Society immediate steps were taken to enlarge its scope. It will thus be seen that long before Hampton College, from which Booker Washington graduated, was in existence, and many years before Tuskegee was born, the M. E. church was teaching our boys to use the hammer, the plane and the saw. This work has constantly grown and continually enlarged until today, taking J. REV. W. P. THIRKIELD, D. D., Corresponding Secretary F. A. and S. E. Society. all our schools in the aggregate, we have more industrial pursuits, and send out yearly more industrial graduates than any institution or set of institutions in all the South. While we have not emphasized industrial education to the exclusion of the regular academic work, and that, too, rightly and reasonably, yet it is unfortunate, to say the least, that many of our ministers and members are not acquainted with the scope, strength, and variety of our industrial work, and there have been instances where philanthropists within the church, who have had special interest in this line of education, have sought out other fields for the investment of their money, not knowing the character and extent of our own. Secretary Mason is at present preparing several tracts on our industrial work which it is hoped will be the means of helping to supply this needed information. The male students in manual training and trade schools among the colored people numbered 1,038, increase of 371 over the previous year, and were distributed as follows: Shoemaking, 17; baking, 35; tinzing, 4; painting 54; agriculture, 51; blacksmithing, 140; masonry, 175; laundry, 98; machine-shop 108; printing, 103; carpentry, 233.

The entire indebtedness of the Indiana District is $8 676 The Lexington Conference is just thirty-two years old, but the work in Indiana has been organized a little more than twenty-five years. THE DISTRICTS. INDIANA DISTRICT—Rev. G. A. Sissle of Indianapolis is presiding elder. This district is reaching a number of our people who have not been, and will not be, reached by the other branches of Methodism in this state. P E Sissle is capable, energetic and experienced, and with the co-operation of the pastors is bringing our Methodism rapidly to the front. LEXINGTON DISTRICT—Rev. J. H. Stanley, M. D., presiding elder. This district is in the famous blue grass section of Kentucky and has some of the largest and finest church buildings and most cultured people of that region Dr. Stanley is serving his second term as P.

We believe this innovation will be of incalculable benefit not only to Simpson Chapel but to the Methodist Episcopal church through out this region. There is great need of our churches in the large cities in the North advertising their presence throughout the entire country. Cincinnati, Louisville, Cleveland, Indianapolis, Chicago and other large cities of this region are looked upon, and wisely too, as places where equal rights and privileges are accorded. Whenever the Negro is mistreated in the South many come North and are settling in these cities. Many of them are coming from our own church altars. We need them and they are longing for us.

Present and future event in one's life. Remember her, she will not, for any price, flatter you, your life. She will not be insulted or insensitive. She can be consulted on all affairs of Life, Love, Courtship, Marriage, Friend etc., with description of future companion. She will be consulted on all affairs of friends, enemies, etc. Her advice upon sickness, change in business, journeys, lawsuits contested wills, divorce and speculation is valuable good or bad; she withholds nothing. MRS. MARTH tells your entire life—past present and future—in a DEAD TRANSE, the power of any two mediums you ever meet, the power of your family, the fore marriage, the names of all your family their ages and description, the name and business of your future husband, the name of your next, if you are to have one, the name of the young man who now calls on you, the name of your wife, the name of your year of your marriage—how many children you have or will have—whether you are married or angel; whether your present sweetheart will have no sweetheart, she will tell you when you will have, and his name, business and date acquaintance.

Do not keep company, marry or go into business until you are sure that all religious sorrows prevent your consulting. Madame is the only one in the world who can tell you the FULL NAME of your future husband, with age and date of marriage, tells you whether the one you love is true or false. There are some persons who believe that there is no truth to be gained from consulting a Medium, but such beliefs are contrary to the fact that it is only from it is lack of discrimination, such as a conclusion. It is not even done who will include himself or herself as a Medium that can stand a test of what he or she claims. And a person of any enquiring mind may ask the reason why. It is simply that these advisers do not take the trouble to stand the same nature. It is not to be thought for a moment with acquiring the art of phrenology and kindred branches that will have a tendency to make the pathway to the road of the business clear and devoid of others. It can undeniable fact that persons will come for advice—in full knowledge of what they want to know, and yet as soon as they confront a Medium they try their utmost endeavor to dispel from their minds what they know as to hear if it will be rehearsed by the Medium. In some cases, the art of pumping is "in no few cases," as the art used by many unprincipalized Mediums, but to take hold of the hand and gain control of the mind there by is a matter of impossibility to most of them. For this can be done, and by consulting a Medium with this seeming mystery becomes a realization. This subject has received no little attention by ominent men and even college professors. So it proves conclusively that although there are many factors in our midst with "olly tongues," perhaps the entire profession from have not been It takes a great deal of study to become an accomplished Medium, and by a continuous and uniting effort, the key to the well of applauding unathombable mysteries have been processed by the Mahlah Mahlah benefited humanity.

We challenge any Junior League to show more work than that done by the Simpson Chapel League under the efficient management of Miss Nettie Bolden, its faithful superintendent. During the year just ended meetings have been held without a break every week. The little ones have received instructions in the Scriptures, and in the Junior course. Sick have been visited, the needy helped and the church aided in its financial struggles. In fourteen months Miss Bolden has paid over to the trustees the sum of $101 98. An effort is being made to establish a library, and a fair supply of books have been collected. Miss Bolden deserves great credit for her faithful and painstaking work among these little ones. NOTES. How did you like our first issue? *** NOTES. It is our aim to get our own church before the people. Read this number and see if the M. E. church is not doing a great work. You cannot help your church by staying at home and grumbling. Workers must be in the fields. The class meetings would be larger and more beneficial to the members if you would attend as often as possible. The devil cannot use a man or woman who regularly and prayerfully does his duty to his church. The man who serves'God for His rewards will serve the devil if he thinks he can get a raise. The interest you have in religion will be in accordance with the amount of principle you have in it. A cutting tongue is not often an indication of a keen mind. The dullest person is capable of saying mean things. It is not who you are, but what you are; that counts with sensible people and with God. The person who belongs to a church and never attends is like a father or mother who has a home but always neglects it. Thou art the finger of God, my brother, my sister. How many persons of your acquaintance have you pointed to Christ? Touch some one for God. *** No man need hunt for his mission. It comes to him. It is your simple duty not to make faces happy now and then but to keep happy faces about us all the time. *** The people who are always harping on their troubles will probably never be troubled with harps. **** Trusting God doesn't mean, as some people seem to understand, never thinking about Him. Neither does it mean trying to direct Him how to manage affairs. For many years our church has had interest in Liberia. From the days of Melville B. Cox, John Seys, Francis Burns, Sophronia Farrington, Ann Wilkins and others to the present—a period of nearly seventy years—that little republic on the west coast of Africa, has not ceased to claim the attention and sympathy and help of the church. Within recent years, Liberia has been brought closer to our hearts, because of those who have gone there from our midst. Bishop Hartzell has already appointed to Liberia sixteen men and women who received their training and education in the schools of our own Freedman's Aid Society. Thus the black man is learning the hard lessons of sacrifice and service for others in distant and difficult places, and is very successfully demonstrating that great fact. Dr. and Mrs. Camphor, the first regularly appointed colored missionaries to Africa—and the first of the sixteen to accompany Bishob Hartzell when he sailed in 1896—having been granted a furlough by the Mission Board, are now here in the interest of their work.

Recognizing the fact that there are many SO-CALLED hair-growers and hair-straighteners now on the market, and knowing to a certainty that many of these are frauds pure and simple, we wish to make a straight-forward, honest statement to the colored race through this great paper. In the year 1871 our late secretary, Mrs. S. M. Moore, through a fortunate circumstance, acquired the receipt for OZONO. It was not offered for sale or purchase to any extent until 1875, when it was put upon the market and met with marked success. After a thorough test by the colored people of that time it was pronounced an honest, legitimate remedy, true to all that was claimed for it, and worthy in every respect of the confidence of every member of the colored race, because they found it to cause the hair to grow long and straight, soft and fine, and as beautiful as an April morning. Now, whenever a genuine article appears upon the market there are always a number of people who imitate and make capital out of the merits of other people's goods. Seeing our marked success, numerous firms have entered the market, offering hair-growers and hair-straighteners, many of which are worthless, causing the hair to fall out and doing great damage to the hair and scalp, and the colored people are buying these spurious compounds, which are filled with animal fats, and do the hair more harm than good. To these let us sound a warning—be careful what you use on your hair. Do not be deceived by flaring advertisements and big words. Buy the King of all Hair Tonics. OZONO. which is sold with an iron-clad guard we will forfeit $50.00.

We will also include one package absolutely CHEMICALLY PURE, which is sold with an iron-clad guarantee to do all that is claimed for it, or we will forfeit $50.00. Now, we ask you a plain question—would we absolutely agree to forfeit $50.00 if you are dissatisfied with our preparations, if they were not true to all we claim for them? We have advertised for several years under this guarantee, and we are glad to say that every one who has used Ozono has been satisfied in every respect. 20,000 people are to-day using our preparations, and every purchaser recommends Ozono as the King of all Hair Tonics. Ozono will positively take the Kinks out of Knotty, Kinky, Harsh, Curly, Refractory, Troublesome Hair. It will make short, harsh hair long and straight. It will cure your head of all itching, worrying scalp diseases. Itch, Eczema, Dandruff, and Scurf can not live after Ozono has been applied. It will stop your hair from falling out.

Nothing but Ozono is necessary, and the hair stays straight forever. You can stop the use at any time. The good effects on the hair are seen in a day or two after the first application.

Let us give and give cheerfully, and all Africa shall be made to rejoice through this center of Christian learning which we, by our means, have strengthened and helped.—S. W. Advocate. Billy Bray, the saintly Cornish miner, was once asked, while he sat at a friend's table: "How long should I pray at a time to keep my soul healthy?"

"If you give that five minutes' rub every now and then, you'll keep 'im bright; but if you let 'im go a long time without it, you will have a long rub to get 'im bright again."
