NUMEROUS NEGROES OF WEALTH Their Watch Word is to Own Property and Pay Taxes—Feeling Between the Races of the Most Pleasant Character—A Condensed Review. Pine Bluff, Ark., Special.—This city is the garden spot of the South from whatever point of view you choose to look at it. The city contains within its limits more wealthy Negroes than any city of its size in the country; and there are fewer renters than any city of its size we know of. The sentiment against renting is so strong that even strangers feel inclined to buy. So progressive are the people and so opposed are they to renting, that we became infected, and for the first time in many years felt anxious to evade room rent. It would tax your space too heavily at this time to tell of the many business houses operated by our people here, and of the many homes in which the proverbial "Southern hospitality," beauty, etc., woo the stranger's heart; but we are we leave the state our people must know of the "Bluff." We might add that the feeling between the races here is exceptionally good. If there are those who doubt a happy solution of the race problem and feel that the white man is opposed to the black man's progress, to all such we say "Go to Pine Bluff." We learned more from observation in this town in ten days than we got from reading shallow opinions and newspaper rant in thirty years. Lastly, the Negro here shows a disposition to cultivate the white man's friendship. A wise step, the fruits of which are in open evidence. We beg space at some future date to asound you with a description of the pleasing conditions here. We give you a few outs of our race leaders, with more to follow. Rev. J. B. Bolden. Rev. Bolden, pastor of the First Baptist church, Pine Bluff, Ark., first saw the light at El dorado, Ark., in 1858. Attended the [Name] high school at Monroe, La., and studied theology at Leland University, New Orleans. He built and pastored St. Joseph Baptist church, West Monroe. He was called to the First Baptist church of Pine Bluff in 1890. The membership was 500, it is now 750. The church owed a large debt which he paid off, seemingly without effort. He has improved the property wonderfully. It is a pleasure to see Rev. Bolden surrounded by the multitudes that flock to his church to hear his able presentation of divine truths. Rev. Bolden was treasurer of the Louisiana Baptist State convention for three years; its corresponding secretary two years and president of the Sunday School District convention seven years. He was one of the founders of North Louisiana high school, of which he was a long while treasurer. Rev. Bolden was married in 1877 to Miss N. C. Baker, of Washaw City. Mrs. Bolden is a Christian lady of great force of character. The reverend leaves his field of labor in search of health in a few days. We pray for his early recovery; the race needs him. He is a gentleman of character, of much experience, broad ideas, tender sympathies, tireless in research and just in conclusions. The Freeman representative, in wishing him an early 1802 REV. A. M. MIDDLEBROOKS. The subject of this sketch is one of the most remarkable colored men in the state of Arkansas. He is a gentleman of wonderful gifts, and in expression, pose and features bears a striking resemblance to Senator Mason, of Illinois. Rev. Middlebrooks took up the problem of life in Georgia in 1855. So much was he given to thought and study even when a child, and living in a day when Negro education was by no means popular, he was prepared at 15 years of age to enter Atlanta University. His career in the university brought honors to him and pride to his friends. He was a presidential elector in 1876 and was a member of the convention that nominated Harrison and Morton. He was for several years court sheriff in Pine Bluff, and a member of the board of health. He entered merchantile pursuits in 1900 and conducts a large return of health, is honored in calling him "friend." In presenting the out of Rev. J. C. Battle, of Pine Bluff, we give you the likeness of a gentleman whose worth outstrips all praise. He was born near Macon, Ga, in 1853, and started upon a career that has been filled with high purposes and great achievements. In his own state, noted for progressive men, Rev. Battle was an intellectual pioneer, and organized the first school ever taught in Hancock county, Ga. He was for seven years an able and an earnest laborer in the school room. He was called to the ministry at an early age,ame M. H. to Arkansas in 1876, was ordained at Pine Bluff, and received a call to Taylor's Chapel near the city, which he served twelve years. He built one of the best churches in the country at that point, added much to the Rev. J. C. Battle. and growing business. Rev. Middlebrooksvs was ordained in 1880, and since that time has pastored some of the most important charges in the state, and was for five years Missionary of the Baptist State convention. He was for two years Deputy Grand Master of the Masonic order, and is State Lecturer for the Odd Fellows. Rev. Middlebrooksvs is one of the wealthiest colored citizens of Pine Bluff, and is thoroughly devoted to the welfare of his race. He was married in 1882 to Miss S. J. Hinton, a lady of much culture and refinement. Rev. Middlebrooksvs is a gentleman of deep thought, a strong writer and a graceful and powerful speaker. We know of no one who is more truly a leader. We shall watch his career with interest, for he has a future and we shall ever hear him with pleasure for he has wisdom. tone and dignity of the christian character of the people. He was called to the West Baraque Street Baptist church of Pine Bluff in 1891, and there begin the unfolding and revealing of a character well worth a place among our true leaders. When he assumed pastoral duties the membership numbered 15, now it numbers 350. Then the house was a small box affair worth $20, now there is a beautiful building worth several thousand dollars. This beautiful church is in West Pine Bluff, known as Battleville, in recognition of Rev. Battle's worth as a citizen and a leader. Rev. Battle has been secretary of the Baptist State convention for 13 years. His church was first in the state to give $100 to the cause of education, a feature of church work with which he stands in close touch. He has been a director of the Baptist College at Little Rock ever since its origin and is the financial agent appointed by the board. Rev. Battle has not escaped other honors. He was for two years county treasurer of Jefferson county, and custodian Bureau Chamber of Commerce. For seven years he has had exclusive control of 100 acres of land divided into lots, which he sells to desirable purchasers, character as well as money being a consideration. Ninety per cent of his members live at home. No member can stay in his church who will not work and attempt to accumulate. "Own a home," is a part of his creed. Rev. Battle was married early in life to Miss Maudy Wilson, of his native state. Of the three children, one served his country with distinction in the late war with Spain; one is an artist in house decoration and fresco painting, and the daughter, a young lady of unusual ability. Rev. Battle is truly a great leader. The accompanying cut is an exceedingly good likeness of our friend. Mr. M, W. Mr. M. W. Webb. B.K. S. A. MOSELEY, D. D. REV. S. A. MOSELEY. D. D. Dr. S. A. Moreley, one of the best known and one of the most thoroughly admired ministers of the race, was born at Franklin, Tenn., in 1856. He inherited from pixic parents much of that force of character that marks him a natural leader of men. He took the high school and college courses at Southland College, Helena, Ark. Feeling called him to the gospel ministry, He sought the best masters, and in due course of time became a power in his church. He entered the ministry in 1878, being ordained and set apart to the work he had honors and calls to follow thick and fast upon him. He served Clarington, Augusta, Sercy and Newport, and was principal of the public school at Sercy ten years. The doctor was called to his present charge, St. Paul, Pine Bluff, in 1899. He found the church struggling under a $5,000 mortgage, which he raised in two years and improved property to the extent of $5,500, making the church one of the most delightful in the State. The church is now valued at $30,000. Among other positions of honor held by the doctor Webb, who was born at Oxford, Miss., in 1864. He is still a young man, but tacit and progressive. He is a gentleman of most excellent qualities and r numbers among his [Name] friends the best people of the town. Mr. Webb has added to his high school education, which he received in his native town, that store of information that comes with extensive reading. He has many of those traits that mark the man of affairs. After coming to the state of Arkansas he was employed as a clerk in a leading business house, where his attention to business made him friends among both races until no reasonable request on his part went begging. He was appointed a letter carrier ten years age, which position he continues to hold to the satisfaction of all classes. The Webb family consists of Mr. Mrs. and Miss Webb. Miss Bertha is a model young are the following: He was for six years vice president of the eArkansas Baptist State Convention; he is a truster of the Arkansas Baptist College, is editor of S. S. Department of the Van Guard, church organ of the State; corresponding secretary of State Sabbath school Convention; vice-president of National Convention for Arkansas, an able contributor to the National Baptist S. S. literature, etc., to. Why, really, we cannot contribute to it, or doing it. In 1901 the degree of "D. D." was conferred by Sequin College. Dr. Moseley pays tax on several thousand dollars worth of property. He is a gentleman of keen business foresight. He was married in 1878 to Miss P. A. Jordan, who has been to him like an angel of light along his journey. Their home is bright and beautiful. He is a young ladie of accomplishment and beauty. In Dr. Moseley we have a gentleman of thought, polished as a marble slab and Christian throughout. If you ask me for a man with high purposes, utterly unselfish and in whom all the elements of true faith are present. Dr. Moseley, D. D. Pine Bluff, Arkansas, Rev. Moseley will raise $10,000 for the church in convention to be held in this church this year. lady, well educated and has a multitude of chances that poets declare angelic. Mrs. Webb is a Christian lady of the sweetest possible manners. A dear little family of three. Well, never mind; if we can persuade the Webb's that "3" is an unlucky number, look out for our "invite." Mr. Webb is a successful business man and a credit to his people. The subject of this sketch was born on a sugar plantation near Franklin, St. Mary's. JOHN H. HARRIS Parish, La. He attended public school at Baldwin and in 1880 was taken by white friends to Lansing Mich., where he com. PRICE FIVE CENTS. SINGLE COPY--SIX MONTHS, 850; ONE YEAR, $1.50 Dr. H. Williams. ANNUAL EXERCISES! OF THE TUSKEGEE NORMAL AND INDUSTRIAL INSTITUTE. SCHOOL'S MARVELOUS GROWTH! The Graduating Exercises were Attended by a Committee of the London, Eng., School Board, with a View of Adopting their Methods. Tuskegee, Ala., Special.—The 29th of May closed the 21st year of the work of this school. It is difficult to comprehend the extent of its influence. A committee from the London, Eng., school board were here studying the school's methods, with a view to their introduction in the work of the British colonies. Twenty-one years ago it had one teacher and thirty pupils, with no grounds for buildings. The graduates now number 461, while it has given more or less instruction to over 5,000 others. They are in every Southern and many of the Northern states, and in almost every instance, carrying out the Tuskegee idea of home getting, tax paying and material helpful citizenship. The first class went out in 1885. One of this class founded a school of which she has been the head for fourteen years. This school has sent out sixty graduates, many of whom have also graduated at Tuskegee, and are now successful tradesmen, business men, farmers and teachers. One who graduated in 1892 founded a school in Wilcox county, Ala., on a plantation where he was born, which now has an attendance each year of 300 students, with a property of over $30,000. Last year twenty-five teachers and superintendents were employed. They carried on, by students, labor, a farm, a sawmill, a brick yard, wheelwright and blackshirt shop, printing office, carpenter and paint shop, cooking school and sewing room. Nearly all these teachers were Tuskegee graduates. The school has sent out seventeen graduates and every one of them is honorably employed in developing the best interest of Wilcox county. The number of these schools, with Tuskegee graduates at the head of them is now seventeen, thirteen of these were founded by them. They are in eight different states, eight in Alabama, one in Florida, two in Georgia, one in South Carolina, two in Louisiana, one in Virginia, one in Tennessee and one in Kansas. Various graduates have their eyes on other states and it will not be long before there will not be a single Southern state that has not a real Tuskegee school. The enrollment this year has reached 1,390 in the Normal department, 930 young men and 430 young women. Of these, 562 have worked all the year during the day, and gone to school at night. Nearly all the others were once night students, but had been able to enter the day school because of an amount to their credit in the treasury, by reason of their labor, while working during the day and going to school at night. These normal students represent thirty different states and territories and five foreign countries. Alabama furnishes 452; Georgia, 197; Mississippi, 110; South Carolina, 83; Texas, 81; Louisiana, 76; Florida, 56; the West Indies, 46; Africa, 2. Besides these the kindergarten and training school enrollment, 232; the Tuskegee town night school, 121, making a total enrollment for the year of 1,743. I few items will give some idea of the magnitude of the work done by the students during the past year. They made 2,128,223 brick. Of these they have laid 1,843,566. The school sold 280,677 to outside parties. They sawed from the logs 200,000 feet of lumber, a large part of which has been worked up into furniture, wagons, buggies, wheelbarrows and house trimming of various kinds. They cut 270,000 laths and dressed 360,000 feet of lumber. The printing office has done 8,500 worn of work during the year, and made a profit to the school of nearly $700 over all expenses, a business covering $22,000 for labor and materials. The brick making for the school and surrounding country now requires the constant operation of two large machines, capable of over 20,000 bricks each per day, and one yard operated by hand. This is a marked contrast with the heroic struggles in the school in Mr. Washington's book, "Up from Slavey." The value of buildings added by student labor this year is $459,118. The shoe shop made 259 pairs of new shoes and repaired 1,197 pairs. CONTINUED ON SECOND PAGE. FARM AND HOME I had nervous indigestion and a general derangement of the entire system. It had been a continual torture for 12 years. My blood became very poor and at times my toe and finger nails would be diseased. After eating I would sit in a chair and put my feet on something to keep them from swelling, and at times would take off my shoes for the misery I had. Whenever I experience anything to remind me of past ashes I cannot be too elated to tell what Ripans Tabules have done for me. I still take one now and then, because I knew how bad I have been. They were just what I needed. AT DRUGGISTS The five-cent packet is enough for an ordinary occasion. The family bottle, sixty cents, contains a supply for a year. Farm Notes. Tasmanian apples and pears are now cutting quite a figure in the London markets. Ben Davis shows up well to the front, as usual. From all reports we believe that the shipments of apples in boxes holding one bushel or less will be more generously tried this year than ever before. New potatoes are coming to the city markets rather rapidly, but the prices of old potatoes have not been diminished in the least. It is probable that large acreages of this indispensible vegetable will be planted this year. Thorough early cultivation in the orchard is the central idea in the modern system. This is the time of the year when the work is done. Hairy vetch makes a fine cover crop—so says Professor Craig. But the seed is expensive. When a man once gets a start though, it is not difficult to grow ones own seed. The Southern strawberry crop now coming to the market is generally very good and the prospects at this writing are that the Northern crop will be equally good. Drainage is a very important matter in an orchard. It is often neglected or overlooked altogether. Many orchards are unsuccessful on this account. The Bismark apple, very highly recommended recently by the men who had the trees for sale, has not proven a great boon to the planters. The fruit is coarse and of rather poor quality. A hundred good old American varieties could be mentioned which would be better. At a recent horticultural meeting the dear old crazy question was asked: What is the best time to prune? Mr. H. E. Van Deman answered it by saying that he thought June or July was about the best time. Still of course it depends on the tree and what one is trying to do with it. High or low pruning used to be a live question for discussion at all fruit growers meetings. It is not so much agitated now. The reason is partly that we see that it is to be settled by every man to suit himself Still, it seems certain that the tendency in the Eastern states is to prune lower than formerly. One of the most striking developments of the current year has been the organization of hundreds of large fruit growing companies. These concerns are planting all sorts of fruit, but especially, peaches and apples in nearly every State in the Union. The Elberta peach has had a great boom. It has been more excessively THE FREEMAN: AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER. planted than even the Kieffer pear was two years ago. A day of reckoning will come, of course, when all these trees come into bearing. Elberta is a fine variety; but, when any varieties to the fad it is a good thing to plant something else. Cantaloupes are every year coming to be more and more of a factor in the fruit market. They are being more appreciated by the general fruit-growers, too, who find them an excellent catch crop. The search for an apple which will the hardness of Duchess, the prolificacy of Baldwin, the vigor of Spy, the keeping quality of Ben Davis and the flavor of Spitzenburg goes seriously forward. It is safe to say, though, that the national administration will change before the apple is discovered. Iowa has more than five times as many plum trees as she had ten years ago that is, according to the census figures. These are mostly of the native varieties, not shown by the census. One man of whom we heard the other day marketed 600 orates last year, all natives. Prices were good. The dewberry is a fine fruit. One reason why the public knows so little about it is that the dewberries are almost always sold to the consumer as blackberries. The green mountain is an ideal grape for Northern States. For Southern latitude there are better ones. We were recently told by a man who claimed to know that there is a growing demand for homemade wines, Blackberry wine gooseberry wine current wine and all those old-fashioned beverages which our grandmothers used to make are certainly worth bringing back into use. Okra is a fine vegetable for those who can grow it. That means for persons as far south as New Jersey. In the North it does not do well. Even lima beans cannot be grown very far north' and sweet potatoes are never worth mentioning north of New Jersey. Canning factories are increasing every year. They serve to take up the excess in some line and to make a crop of some other things profitable; but they do not usually out much figure in the general fruit market. The really marketable fruit is not of the canning factory grade. Root-killing of apple trees is being constantly reported. It seems to be due, however, to very diverse causes in different cases. This is a subject which we shall have to look after closely. Damage at the root of a tree easily escapes notice. Concerning Sorrel. The Purdue University agricultural experiment station issues the following bulletin concerning sorrel, prepared by the botanist of the institution, J. C. Arthur: Sorrel is among the most troublesome of weeds, when once it has gained a foothold. It appears to be attracting more attention in Indiana than formerly, and the following statement has been prepared to answer the inquiries that are now frequently received at the experiment station. Sorrel flourishes most on sandy soil, where the usual farm crops give only a poor stand. Its presence in a field is generally an indication of limited fertility, and it may become a pest on any thin soil, and especially sour soils. The farmer with rich fields and clean culture is not likely to notice it. Sorrel grows about a foot high, with leaves an inch long, having a pair of projections at the base of the blade. The leaves are pleasantly sour to the taste. It sends out runners just beneath the surface of the ground, which start new plants and bind the whole together in mats. Patches of it are usually conspicuous from the red color of the stems, especially during the flowering time, and give fields a red appearance, even at considerable distances. It is sometimes called red sorrel, and occasionally horse sorrel. There is no direct method of exterminating sorrell; it is too tenacious of life to be easily vanquished. First efforts must be given to cultural methods. A succession of hoed crops, if extra care is taken to let no plants escape destruction, will greatly reduce the numbers; but plants at the edges of the field and seeds in the soil will be likely to restock the ground. It is generally in pastures and clover lands that the weed is the greatest pest, where it is not always expedient to use the plow. But whether the ground is under the cultivator or in sod, chief reliance must be had upon means for increasing the fertility. The land must be made to grow good crops by using manure or chemical fertilizers. In this way the weed is choked by the other plants, and although it will not be exterminated, yet it is so much reduced as no longer to give trouble. In this connection the use of air-slaked lime is especially to be recommended in addition to the fertilizers. Lime has had a reputation in this connection for a long time and recent experiments confirm the opinion. Its application will do no harm to other crops and is usually decidedly beneficial to them. It is a corrective for acid soil, improves the mechanical condition of stiff soils and makes the natural fertility of the soil more quickly available. It should be applied on sorrel-infested fields at the rate of from one to five tons per acre. Send $1.50 for a year's subscription to The Freeman, the best Negro paper published. ANNUAL EXERCISES. (CONTINUED FROM FIRST PAGE. The electrical division has installed 1,187 lights. The harness shop did $1,159 worth of work. The machine shop and foundry have done a vast amount of work this year in connection with the new heating plant and water works, and the keeping in repair of 16 engines located on the grounds, besides for a large area of country, there being no other machine shop or foundry nearer than 30 miles. Over 70 students have done work in this line. The work done has run from $700 to $1,100 per month. The blacksmith has done $2,500 worth of work. A great deal of work has gone to the farm and miscellaneous work of the school. The students have paid in labor towards their expenses, $78,831 67; in cash, $16,817.79. The class that graduated this year numbers 35; 29 boys and 13 girls. They represent 11 states: Ababaca, 15; California, 1; Florida, 2; Georgia, 4; Mississippi, 1; Missouri, 1; Tennessee, 1; Texas, 3; Kentucky, 3; West Virginia, 1; Massachusetts, 1. Six are from Tuskegee. All have had thorough drill in some useful industry. Five are graduates in agriculture, one in tinsmithing, one in harnessmaking and carriage trimming, three in dressmaking, one in tailoring, one in dentistry, six in laundering and cooking, one in cooking, one in laundering, two in nurse training, one in sawmilling, one in blacdsmithing, one from the machine shop, one in printing. Others have received instruction in various trades and will return next year and finish them. They will all find immediate employment with an earning capacity far beyond what they possessed when they came to the school. The girls of the class have had large practical experience in housekeeping this year. They have lived, four at a time, in a small building called a practice home where they have kept house in every detail, doing their own washing, scrubbing, cooking and having entire care of the house. Each of the four girls served a week at a time at each kind of work. Their entire expenses for the year for board, fuel and lights has been seventy cents per week. The first event of importance this year was the graduating exercises of the industrial departments held April 29th, during the visit of the Ogden party. Governor Jelks was present and made an address. Quite a number of the Ogden party also spoke briefly, especially Wm. H. Baldwin, Jr., of New York, who has shown such deep interest in the industrial departments. Certificates were given to sixty. Agriculture had seven, two of them girls; carpentry nine; steam engineering four; machine shop two; printing two; tsmithing one; wheelwrighting one; harnessmaking and carriage trimming one; woodworking one; dressmaking and cooking three; dressmaking alone seven; laundering and cooking five; laundering alone three; nurse training four; millinery four. Of these twenty four are also graduates of the normal department, either in the present class or previous classes. Most of the others will remain and take a literary course and take advanced work in their trade. Very interesting exhibits were made of work done in each department. Special enthusiasm was shown over a steam engine, placed in position on the platform and supplied with steam, with which Robert Campbell of the incoming senior class showed the operation of its reversing gear for stationary engines. This young man, when only seven years old, made a steam engine that would run successfully, using an old coffee pot for a boiler, and, before entering Tuskegee, he constructed a locomotive, complete in all its parts, making all the castings and every part of it with his own hands. Principal Booker T. Washington's annual report was read to the trustees of the school during the week. It was one of the most striking and most helpful of all these wonderful reports. The report was heard with great interest and will prove to the public how warm a place this school has in the hearts of the people and what diligence has been shown upon the part of the principal by whose labors the larger part of this money has been secured. The total receipts for the year have been, outside of cash and labor paid by students, $326 692 23. Of the total amount $143,495.48 including of the total amount, $143,495.48 including $126,330 98 for current expenses, were for general purposes $137,003 75 for building, fixtures, equipments and land, and $46,195 added to the endowment fund, leaving the fund to date at $299,164 02 While these sums may seem large, yet it will be noticed that nearly two-thirds has gone to the enlargement and improvement of the plant and that the school is not enriched thereby that its current expense made larger and its needs more pressing and numerous. The institution with less than $3,000 of endowment, at a very low rate of interest, was never more dependent upon it large number of friends, even upon its smallest givers.

Quite a number came from the regular trains and the usual large number of private conveyances, but when the special train came in at 11 o'clock the entire grounds were at once submerged. The Capital City Guards, forty-eight strong, under Capt. A. D. Robinson, with their fife and drum, gave a fine martial air to the whole scene. All of the commencement addresses were listened to with marked attention and approval. The object lessons in dairying and mental working as given in the oration of Jessie Jones and William Boher were heartily cheered. The salutatory by Frank Chicholm and the valedictory by Sadella Donaldson of Mississippi were models. Dr. M. C. B. Mason, senior secretary of the Freedmen's Aid and Education Society, who delivered the commencement address came with a reputation for unusual eloquence. He did not disappoint his large and attentive audience. The burden of his thought was "Education for Service; not for Honor." Mr. Washington presented the diplomas in a few simple words, enforcing the motto of the class, "Ready for Service. The singing throughout was of great power, but the "Inflamatus" by the choir and Miss Boyd, so stirred the audience that as with one voice they called its repitition. Prizes were then awarded to a dozen young people and the year passed into history. Dr. Mitchell E. Sadler and Hon. J. O. Heape, who are connected with the educational work of London, England, spent several days at the school during commencement week, studying its methods and enjoying the exercises here. These notable visitors seemed to thoroughly enjoy all they saw and heard. Acknowledgements St. Paul, Minn., May 7, 1902.—Mr. Knox, your reminder of April 24 received in due season.

BOOK NOTICE DOROTHEY VERNON OF HADDON HALL BY CHARLES MAJOR. Illustrated by Hous Chandler Christy. The Macmillan Co. 12mo. $1.50. Charles Major is perhaps the most popular teller of love stories among living novelists. In Dorothy Vernon, as in his earlier novel When Knighthood was in Flower, time and distance lose their significance under his spell. He has the rare and happy faculty which brings home to the heart the spirit of gallant times and the imperious call of youth's springtime. Well written from first page to last, this novel is worthy to rank as one of the best pieces of American fiction, and as literature. Mr. Major has discovered what potent implements are language and style in the creation of romance, and he has mastered their use. All praise to him for this; it cannot fail, moreover, to add to his popularity, thus earning for his willingness to labor and improve two rewards, one material, the other artistic. The romance is the chief concern with this author; it is the very root as well as the flower of his gift. This is a historical tale, so far as period, scene, and minor characters are concerned. Indeed, even his hero and his heroine, and the romance itself, are based upon historic fact. But we are after all ever in the land of lovers, the best of realms in which to dwell in romantic fiction. Dorothy Vernon is an Elizabethan maid, but there is in her a suggestion of wilful young womanhood as it reveals itself through the ages, a touch of the eternal feminine in her defiance of authority for the sake of the man she loves. She is not a historic figure, interesting on account of its distance from the women of to-day; she is flesh and blood of this twentieth century, all gentleness and roused fury in defence of her all; all love and strength and fortitude under persecution and opposition, a living, loving, lovable girl, ready to kill all for the sake of "him," a living woman of to-day. She will appeal more potently, we think, to the popular imagination than did even the heroine of the earlier book, because she is depicted in more vigorous lines and stronger colors, because Mr. Major has mastered his trade. The eloquence of Dorothy Vernon with John Manners is an historic episode; Haddon Hall belongs to this day to their descendants, the Dukes of Rutland. Queen Elizabeth visited the castle; the state chamber, where she resided overnight, is still shown to visitors in its original state. Mary Stuart, too, enters the story, to rouse the jealousy of Dorothy. In short, the lover of the accuracy of history in fiction may rest contented with the story; but he will probably care little for that once he has been caught by the spirit and freshness of the romance.

William MeThompson, the popular and efficient headwaiter of Broad Street Station resturant, Philadelphis, Pa., still holds the fort, making many friends both with guests and waiters. From Niagara Falls, Power City, N. ¥. Historical Niagara, as tt is known best for ita wonders of nature, is again open for the summer season. This re- sort is classed among the best known. It {s surrounded by cataracts and un- surpassed scenery, and is a well equip- ped hotel. ‘The well-known headwaiter, Wm. 8. Foreman, who with wide ex- Perlence, has proved himself worthy and capable of the honor to cope with our best men of to-day in the business, this betng his ninth season at the Inter- national hotel, the leading hotel of this city. He is well supported by a strong and experienced crew of waiters, who are looking forward for a successful season. Mr. L. P. Johnson of Natural Bridge, Va, has charge of the front as head bellman. Mr. Johnson is a young man, bat is trying hard to reach the goal. This is his second season in charge. He has proved much success to the house. He is loved by all who know him, and is ably supported by a sufficl- ent number of well trained men, who are generally moral in habits, quick and active. Boys, they are hustlers, 80 look out fer them. The Hotel Cataract, sec- ond to none, opened its doors for break- fast May 29. Mr. E. W. Harper from the Mansion house, Brooklyn, N. Y., is again in charge fs headwaiter, this be- ing his second season here. Mr. Harper has few exceptions as to experience in this line of business, and he has right- fully won the honors along with the rest of men, and is highly spoken of by all who know him, especially the side waiters because they travel here and there learning the world’s good. M. N. Williams of New York City, who was known at the Cataract last summer as Capt. Williams, will support Mr. Har- per as second walter this summer, and we are all glad of his promotion and feel ascured that he will prove himself capable to serve in this capacity. He ‘opened the house on tae 29th of May with fifteen good waiters, and will hold things down until the arrival of Mr. E. ‘W. Harper, who is expected on or about the 15th of Jane. ‘This hotel is the old- est in Niagara Falls and is well known by the traveling public. The Prospect hotel, which is operating” yearly, is now doing quite a nice business. It is the most plotureeque hotel in this city. Samuel Smith, who was once at the Cataract hotel, has charge of this grand palace, anda well trained crew of ex. perienced waiters support him. Be- ware of the Purkey boys, they are out. Se Notes from St. Paul, Minn. Charles Saunders, one St. Paul’s thrit- ty and enterprising young men, was taken by surprise a few evenings ago by a party of friends which, before leaving, secured his permission to give up his proof for a cat in The Freeman. Mr. Saunders {s a thorough up-to-date hotel man, and holds the hotel fraternity of St. Pani under his inflaence, and through him twenty more subsoribers have been added to my list for The Freeman, and I feel it my duty to let the public know the interest he mani- fests in our leading colored paper. Mr. Saunders is fast climbing the ladder of snocess, and I hope some day to see him on the top rung. He is vice-president of Minnesota representing the H. and 8. W. N. B, A., and one of the Blue Grass State boys. A crew of white girls left here last week for Yellow Stone Park for the summer. A crew of colored waiters left last Monday for Portland, Oregon, to work in the Portland hotel. Cal. Wilson formerly headwaiter at the Great Northern, is residing in St. Paul ‘and employed by the Northern Pacific Rallroad Company. Mr. Phil Orr, an- other of Chicago's famous headwaiters, is residing in St. Paul. Chas. Miller has suoceeded Mr. Burns as headwaiter ‘at the Commercial Club. C W. Davyer, formerly headwaiter at the Alban hotel, is making quite 8 hit at the Commersial Club, Minneapolis. Hotel business in St. Pant is good at the present time and expects a large business during the sum- pai From Augusta, Georgia. Mr. Editor—Permit me to recall the attention of the hotel fraternity to a letter, which appeared in the issue of May 31, from F. Melville Lewis (Hotel Life) Cleveland, Ohio, to W. E. Tucker, Augusta, Ga., in which Mr. Lewis high- ly regarded and approved of the work of the Headwaiters Association. He forthermore stated that we are qualified and capable of working out our desig- nation, tendering much encouragement and wishes for success; stated that he was always glad to publish avy practi- cal contribution pertaining to the color- ed waiters. In conclusion, I will say, without a donbt the Hotel Life is quite a true friend to the colored waiters. May the head, second and side waiters consider the reciprocal relation that Mr. Lewis possesses for them and in the fature conclude to add their names to the subscription list of the Hotel Life. It is a journal that is worthy of our maintenance. W. E.T. From Mobile, Alabama.

Beaumont, Tex., Special.—Wiil A. Jones, Jr., and Miss Mary L. Brown were married on Wednesday evening, the 4th inst. The contracting parties stand high and are well known in soclety circles. The pride is the daugh- ter of Mr. and Mrs. Brown, of Sabine street, who made this city their home gome years ago. The groom is a waiter at the Crosby hotel, and has held his position for two years. He is also from a highly respectable family. A, Miles has returned to the city after visiting Houston and San Antonio. W. B. Bradford, one of the veteran waiters, is among the boys at the French. Ster- ling MoNeal has suceeded M. Geary as headwaiter at the Oaks, and is giving general satisfaction. ©. H. D. Flem- ing, of the French, was ill for several days last week. It was stated some time ago that the waiters of this olty were devising plans to organize an as- sociation, a branch to the H. M.B A. of Houston, but it seems impossible to secure a hall, as there is but one hall in the lty for colored people, and itis taken every night in the week by the lodges. There is no reason why a good hall would not pay in this olty. ae reer ora Duinth, Minn., Special.—One of the most pleasant events that has happened in this olty for many a day occurred on the evening of the 2d inst., it being the 44th enniversary of Charles H. Alex- ander’s birth, who was born in Cleve- land, O, June 2, 1858. The evening was spent with much pleasure and en- joyment, which was intersperced with vocal and instramental music. The tonsts of the evening were responded to by Mr. Alexander with much dexterty. Several solos were rendered by Harry Ross, which were greeted with ap- plause. The toasts were fine. The festivities lasted until a late hour. i ee cee y Sivas ke @) SE EU eai eS ree ———— THE FREEMAN IN OHICAGO. Copies of The Freeman are on sale at the ollowing places : B.C.

E.C. KNOX, Manager, The FREEMAN. After three years of wandering here, there, everywhere, the Y. M. C. A. for the colored people of Indianapolis is at home. After much labor suitable rooms have been found on Indiana avenue, one of the great thoroughfares of the city, and, moreover, right in the highway of the colored people. They are spacious, light and airy, suitable for the purposes for which they were secured. They will be fitted up with all of those things that go to make up a well directed association, leaving no excuse for young men to seek other places of amusement. The rooms were opened last Sunday without any formality. The audience tested the capacity of the rooms, which, at that time, were convenient for use. It was a Red Letter Day in the history of the struggle for existence. The dream of J. E. Moreland, the international secretary, and the hopes of the young men's prayer band had been realized. A most glorious day, which was tested by the fervor in the singing, the eloquence of the speaking and the faces that glowed with supreme satisfaction over the accomplishment— "Did not our hearts burn within us?" Rev. Chas. Johnson of the Second Baptist church made a few earnest remarks. He pledged his support. Rev. Gibson of the Presbyterian church addressed the meeting. He put forward the idea of 'individual effort' as the hope of success. It was Rev. H L Herod that set a wave of manly resolve in motion by his very eloquent plea for a 'strenuous' life—life as we find ourselves existing; getting the best out of it; being ourselves, not other men. If you are a Negro be the best one, and not try to be a white man. Rev. Herod admitted that the colored man's row was a hard one to hoe, but he believed in hoosing it. It is a privilege to work under great difficulties, he said, it tries the individual; it tells his metal; it demonstrates whether you be a man. He went further, saying, that it was a privilege to be a Negro for as such he must work if he would win. The audience was with him every step of the way, and if many resolves drawn forth by Rev. Herod's remarks count for anything then the Indianapolis Y. M C. A. will have plain sailing for the future. Mr. W. H. Furniss made a few well timed remarks as did the secretary, J W. Evans, and the president, Dr. Sumner A. Furniss. The association rooms will be formerly opened in the near future. If the colored people of Decatur have kept within proper bounds—and right here to the colored people; freedom is not liscense—then they are entitled to the law's protection and to the sympathy of law abiding men. And if they have violated the laws they should be punished accordingly and not treated as brutes in a country that swears to Christ in its religion and humanity. THE FREEMAN: AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER. Decatur, Ind, is suffering from a bad attack of "Negrophobia." On June 8th about fifty white men came together to drive all the Negroes out of the city. It appears that some time ago there was some difficulty between the whites and the colored people that had a serious ending. The whites, it is said, were determined that colored people should not live in the town. Recently colored men have returned and have been employed in hotels and restaurants. The late outbreak was for the purpose of driving the colored people out, who, it is said, did not number over half a dozen people. It is gratifying to note that a body of white men collected hastily to oppose the work of the mob. A corf file ensued in which no one suffered from serious injury. The result was that four of the six colored people left at once, and the remaining two, it is said, has since left. The happening is somewhat unusual for Indiana, and it is certainly to be deplore. It is safe to say that the better part of the whites, regardless of party affiliation, are shocked and chagrined to know that such an outbreak, such a demonstration of racial feeling, could take place in the State. Not that mobs are unknown, for the State has had such visitations in the past. Better feeling than that of to-day has also existed between the races, but it is alarming to know that men are forced from their homes, compelled to flee for their lives as though guilty of some infamous offense with which the laws could not reckon. At this writing no reason whatever is assigned further than that there was trouble in the past. We have learned to believe that there are more than one side to most stories. We have learned to believe that white men are not monsters standing ready to devour the colored people for every trifling cause. They have their prejudices, which is very easily accounted for, and which is offset by their mercy and their bounty which very often surpass that shown by the colored people for colored people. As before stated, the colored people of Decatur could be guilty of no acts with which the laws could not cope. Yet it is possible to act in such a way as to be offensive to the unwritten laws of communities as it concerns the races, and which constitute the race question of to-day. Let colored men be bound by the conditions until they create larger spheres of activity, demanding of communities protection by their laws, and not to seek consideration from a social standpoint until those of whom it is sought are willing to bestow it. If individuals still pursue the bent of their social inclinations, and if such is contrary to the spirit of the communities, than such individuals who, as a rule, are the worthless ones will make trouble. We insist again that, if colored people enjoyed every privilege accorded the whites, there would be no race problem. The few cannot break up lines; they can only make trouble for the many. It is not known just what was the immediate cause of the disturbance at Decatur, but it is very likely that it was due to acts in accord with the above. You will miss a great meeting if you do not go to St. Paul, Minn., to the National Afro-American Council July 9, 10, 11, 1902. You must ask for tickets to the National Educational Association at Minneapolis. The rate will be one fare plus $2 for the round trip. You ride on street cars from Minneapolis to St. Paul for ten cents. An excellent program has been prepared. Mrs. Ida B. Wells-Barnett, the famous antilynching agitator, will speak on that subject. Mr. James H. Guy, county attorney at Topeka, Ks., will lead discussion on the subject "The Undoing of the 14th and 15th Amendments." Mr. Guy is a strong lawyer and a forcible talker and a clear reasoner. His subject will be discussed by I. H. Bradley, of Kansas, Charles W. Scratchin, Esq., of Minnesota, and Geo. H. Woodson of Iowa. Colonel Pledger is invited to lead the discussion on the question "The Power of the National Government to Protect its Citizens," It will be discussed by J. Madison Vance of New Orleans and Walter M. Farmer, Esq., of Missouri. Dr. W. T. Vernon, president of the Western University, will read the paper "Needs of the Negro Ministry," which will be discussed by Dr. John F. Moreland of Illinois and Dr. Lealtad of Chicago. Dr. M. C. B Mason will deliver one of the addresses at the reception. Hon. I. T. Montgomery of Mississippi will discuss the status of the Negro in the South. Colored men, too, should see to it that they in no way try to carry out the principles set in motion at Decatur against white men, against black men, for if they do the god of retaliation will reign, and peace will become unpurchasable. While we do not know the particular cause of the present difficulty, yet we still insist that there are more good men at heart than bad ones, and that if there comes unprovoked difficulties the good will set at naught the influences of the bad. The Courier-Journal of Louisville, Ky., devoted five columns to Booker T. Washington on his recent visit to that city. It sees something in him at any rate. The Freeman acknowledges invitations to attend the commencement exercises of the law department of the University of Michigan, June 15th, of the Knoxville College, Knoxville, Tenn., June 4-11, of the Industrial and College Institute of Claremont, Va., June 12th, of the Indiana University, Bloomington, Ind., June 13-18, and of the Morris Brown College, Atlanta, Ga, May 29 to June 5. Prof. Marcus J. Gilliam of Wilberforce was in the city last Monday for a few hours. He had just returned from a visit to his father at Sheridan, Ind. He holds the chair of mathematics. Two studies in higher mathematics have been added to the college course this year, which speaks for Mr. Gilliam's proficiency. Commencement exercises at his school were held June 13-18. The Thompson party that has been South looking into the conditions of the Negroes make a very favorable report, but there are Negroes who insist that only favorable localities were visited, and that the true condition is not known. The Irwin bill in congress ought to become a law by which a thorough nonpartisan investigation can be made. The Democrats met last week in State convention and, with a ghost like ease, nominated a ticket, after which they folded their tents and stole quietly away. Have they a method in all of this? It was Maobeth who insisted that Banquo should take another shape—some tangible form. Where are they at? The nominating business will soon be over; only three or four more conventions yet. Our paths are strewn thick with conventions, scarcely do we rid ourselves of one, ere we are aware, another is at our heels, and so on until the election day, when we will know what tis all about. Dr. D. W. Sherwood of St. Louis, Mo, has been endorsed by the Medico Chirurgical Association of the State of Mississippi for the position of commissioner of the colored department of the State exhibit at St. Louis, Mo., in 1904. Editor Chase of the Washington Bee, sees in Booker T. Washington a national apologist and a trimmer. Its a pity that he can see no more in him. But if that's all he is, let him give us plenty of that. George W. B. Conrad of Richmond, Ind., will graduate from the law department of the University of Michigan This term. We note with pleasure the graduation of Harriet Clark, daughter of Prof. Clark of Clark's sanatorium, Martinsville, Ind. The Freeman rejoices with the many friends of Bishop Walters in that he is acquitted of the ugly charge against him. Great Educational Mass Meeting. An educational mass meeting was held at Cotton Avenue A. M. E. church, Macon, Ga , June 8th A very excellent program was rendered, among which were the following: My Country, 'Tis of Thee..... Choir Invocation..... Rev. E. P. Holmes Scripture Lesson..... Hosea IV C. O. Rev. W. G. Johnson, D. Education for all the People. Mayor Bridges Smith, Macon Has the Negro Accomplished Anything Education? When and What? He Wm E. Holmes, President Central City Collo Education a Public Charge Hon. Harry Stilwell Edwards, Postmaster, Macon Does Education Prepare the Youth for Citizenship? Rev James M Henderson, D D, President Morris Brown College, Atlanta, Ga Education as it Relates to Morals. Rev J. A McClain The Negro and Industrial Education Rev. W. G. Alexander, D D, Pastor Cotton Ave church, Macon Manager—R D. Stinson, Collecting Commissioner. Editor Freeman — Dear Sir—It, no doubt, may be a surprise to you to hear from one who is not known to the public, but it behooves me to speak. Let me thank the blessed old paper, the Indianapolis Journal, for breaking the news to me that congress is about to make an investigation in my race's behalf. I sincerely wish each individual a happy life who looks out for the interest of the colored people. It is high time congress or somebody was beginning to do something in our bahalf. We have borne the burden in the heat of the day, and have always been loyal to the country's every interest, yet in the south land we are lynched without judge or jury, many times being driven from our homes after having bought and paid for them. Oppressed and afflicted still we dare not open our mouths. Tillman of South Carolina boasts before an enlightened audience in congress, saying he has nothing to feel ashamed of or to regret, while, on the other hand, he abuses our generals and soldiers about the water cure. EDWARD G. SAYLES. IN SCHOOL DAYS. Still sits the schoolhouse by the road, A ragged beggar sunning; Around it still the sumachs grow, And blackberry vines are running. Within the master's desk is seen Deep-scarred by raps official; The warping floor, the battered seats, The jack-knife's carved initial. The charcoal frescoes on its wall; Its door's worn all, betraying The feet that, creeping slow to school, Went storming out to playing. Long years ago a winter sun Shone over it at settin'; Lit up its western window panes, And low eaves' ice fretting. It touched the tangled golden curls And brown eyes full of grieving Of one who still her steps delayed When all the school were leaving. For near her stood the little boy Her childish favor singled; His cap pulled low upon a face Where pride and shame were mingled. Fushing with restless feet the snow To right and left, he lingered— As restlessly her tiny hands The blue-checked apron fingered. He saw her lift her eyes; he felt The soft hand's light caressing, And heard the tremble of her voice. As if a fault confessing. "I'm sorry that I spelt the word: I hate to go above you "Because"—the brown eyes lower fell— "Because, you see, I love you!" Still memory to a gray-haired man That sweet child-face is shewing, Dear girl! the grasses on her grave Have forty years been growing! He lives to learn, in life's hard school, How few who pass above him Lament their triumph and his loss, Like her—because they love him. —John G. Whittier. Morris Brown College Notes, Atlanta, Georgia. No time in the history of Morris Brown College of Atlanta, Ga., were there as many people as were here this year attending the annual commencement of the college, which was held May 29, and closed with a lecture by Rev. R. C. Ransom, D. D., of Chicago, Ill. The exercises opened with oral examination May 29 and 30, and Friday night, May 30, the annual address to the literary societies by Prof. Joseph W. Morris, A. M., LL. B., of Columbia, S. C. It was a scholarly address and contained much for the young people. June 1st the commencement sermon was preached by the Rev. J. M. Henderson, D D, president of Morris Brown College. The sermon was preached in Bethel A. M. E. church, of which the Rev. C. W. Newton, D D, is pastor. June 2 the under graduates had their exercises in the college chapel at 3 p. m. On the 3d the trustee board met and was presided over by Bishop H. M. Turner, D D, D. C. L., who also presented the diplomas. Prof. John R. Hawkins, A. M., of Kitttrell, N. C., delivered a short address, as dd Chas. Stewart of Chicago. Bishop Turner made a few remarks and the closing address was delivered by Dr. J. M. Henderson, who outlined the work for next year. One hundred and twenty-five trustees of the college, headed by Bishop H. M. Turner, marched to the church and occupied special seats provided for them and each contributed $5 to the work. Bishop Turner, representing the faculty and trustees, conferred degrees on the following: Wright Newman, at Macon; W. H. Young, of Nashville, Tenn; Siass X Floyd, of Augusta; W. C. Gaines, of Augusta; C. W. Newton, of Atlanta; C. H. Morris, of Columbia, S. C.; A. O. Combs, of Atlanta. Resolutions were passed thanking the Constitution and other papers for the help rendered the college during the past year. Bishop Turner urged that the men of the board and members of his race devote much of their time in reading. "If you want to know what is going on in the country read the great journals. No Negro can keep posted by sitting around on the street corners gossiping, but read newspapers and books Dr. R. D. Stinson thinks that sewing, printing and carpentry should be taught at that institution. He also favors the introduction of a nurse training department. It is very likely that some of the ideas suggested by Rev. Stinson will be carried out in the near future. He is the financial agent of the church and has had flattering success within the last few months. He speaks favorably of the liberality of the whites toward the institution. The Gay Society Whirl.

Later he went to New Haven, Conn., and finished a course in printing. He was appointed to teach printing at Gilbert Academy at Winnstead La, and after holding this position with credit for three years, he resigned and went to Central Tennessee College (now Walden University) at Nashville. Here he soon won a high place in the esteem of his teachers as a thorough going christian gentleman. After persuading the college course Williams entered Mehary Medical Department of the same college and graduated with the class of 1900 and is looked upon and regarded by all of his associates and teachers as a demonstrated success in the medical world.

He has bought a very valuable house and lot in the centre of the town and has recently had it remodeled to equal the home of the best livers in Mobile. He owns three very fine horses, a buggy, a victoria and a spider phaeton; also a handsome two-seated trap. He is a striking example of what a young man can do if he has a determination to succeed.

A man’s own rights, his interests of whateyer sort, are his first concern; if he has any time and inclination after he has ls- charged his duty to himself, he may well devote them to his neighbor, who usually stands in the aggregate for the general welfare. The general welfare should always stand for the welfare of the individual citizen, but in our case it does nothing of the sort, and has not done it for twenty years past. Our rights and interests have during that time been made subservient to the interests of the Republican party,—first, in sav- ing R. B. Hayes in 1876 and sacrificing us to Democratic intimidation, murder and class legislation almost as infamous in chara: ter and extent as the Slave code, and the sacrifice has. been in pro- grees ever aince. ‘What is the eituation to-day? (1) It fa the settled policy of the Re- publican managers to|create a new Re- publican party in the Southern States, by turning the Federal offices over tc Democrats who are base enough to ac cept the offices and still remain Demo crate—a polloy which has never suc ceeded in any epoch of the history of party government, and will not succeed in this instance. No equal number of white voters would be expected to or would stand for such outrageous hum- bug moment, the Republican mana- gers expect Afro-Americans to stand for it, (2) It is the defined policy of the Re- publican leaders in Congress to ignore or to slde track or to trade off all meas: tures intended to force the Democratic freebooters of the Southern States to show cause why they shonld not be pun- ished in the way prescribed by the Con- stitution for disfranchising a large sec- tion of the electorate of the Southern States, simply because it 1s black and yellow, contrary to emphatic prohibi- tion by the Federal Constitution, (8) It isthe polloy of the leaders of the Republican party to denounce and black list all such leaders of the Afrc- American people as have the courage to protest against the indifference and treachery of the Republican party in dealing with the rights and interests of | the Afro-American people—olassing all euch men as “unreliable in politics,” and ignoring their own flagrant “‘anre- ability” in desling with the rights of the race, (4) It is the polloy of the Republican party in Congress to smother, side track, choke to death in committee, or other- wise strangalate any measure intended todisclose to the public information and horror the system of civil degrada- tion which the Sonthern states have forced upon the Afro-American people since the war, in defiance to the Federal Constitution—such as penal, peonage, lien and vagrant laws, separate car laws, separate school laws, separate marriage laws, separatel aws for every- thing where the lives of black and white touch ia the social and material life, most of which is prohibited by the Federal Constitution, and therefore within the jaried ction of the Congress to legialate upon appropriately. (5) Itis,in a nutehell, the policy of the Republican party to abandon the race entirely in the Southern states and to expect Afro-American voters in the Northern and Western states to vote to send Republicans to Congress, while offering them nothing as an offset in thoee states in the way of offices of mo- ment, of an appointive or elective char- acter, or of other character. We state the case equarely and fairly, that the race in the North and West may know the exact status of the whole thing, as {t concerns them.

The petition reoltes a long train of abuses to which, itis claimed, the Negroes aresubjected It is claimed that many of the states the Negro is denied all eoctal and political recognition and that his constitutlonal rights are coustantly violated.

Dixon showed some of his old time speed and cleverness, which once won him into the hearts of the sporting fraternity of the world. They went at it from the first sound of the gong and kept it up with lightening rapidity during the entire contest. ‘The once famous Dixon was there all the time, good and strong and held the spec: tators spell-bound. The contest was a grand one from start to finich and al- though the decision went to Dougherty Dixon had much the better of the bout and should at least have had a draw. ‘The referee went to sleep and instead of fighting six rounds as the law calls for here, they fought seven rounds Prob ably the referee was also asleep when Dixon was getting in his work. It is remarkable to see how Dixon bas im- proved. After the contest Dougherty walked to Dixon’s corner and kiseed him on the cheek. The contest was so interesting, thespectators were as quiet as a mouse during the entire bout. Good boy, George! Pat up a few more bonts like this and you will regain come of your lost laurels.

The Sewing Circle paid in $5 and the Church Aid Circle $38 57. There was collected in quarterage and to aid one of the poor members $19.50, making a total of $254 58, just $4.58 more than was asked for.

How Savannah's Colored Collector Got His Indorsement. J. H. Deveaux, the colored man who has just been reappointed collector of the port of Savannah, was able to show an astonishing collection of letters from white business men certifying to his character and ability. Here is the current story of how he obtained them: Mr. Deveaux comes as near to being white as any brown-skinned man can. He is a mulatto. He is intelligent and not in the least forward in his manner or demeanor. With this record when President Harrison was elected Mr. Deveaux went among the people of Savannah, those who had known him all his life, and asked for indorsement as to his ability and general character. "what do you want to do with these indorsements?" he was asked. "Use them to be appointed collector of the port of Brunswick," was the reply of the port of Brunswick, was the reply Brunswick is a smaller port than Savannah, but there is some little Jealousy and commercial rivalry between the two. They are many miles apart and the Savannah people thought it would be a good thing to indorse Deveaux and get him appointed to some federal office away from home, where he would not trouble the white Republican with his ambitions. On the strength of the indorsements or his home folks Mr. Deveaux was made collector at Brunswick. The Brunswick people made some objection, but the appointment stood. Deveaux served four years and must have done his duty for no serious complaint was made against him. Deveaux gave up his place to a Cleveland appointee. When Mr. McKinley was elected for the first time Mr. Deveaux went to the people of Brunswick and asked them for recommendation based on the management of his office at Brunswick. "What do you want with these indorsements?" was the question asked by the Brunswick business men. "To use in my application fos the office of collector of the part for Savannah," was the reply. He received the indorsement requested from the business men of Brunswick. Putting them with those received from the business men of Savannah when he wanted to be collector at Brunswick he filed an application for the collectorship of Savannah. Savannah protested. Colonel Deveaux and the Washington authorities pointed to the good things they had said of him eight years before and the appointment was made. Deveaux did not stop getting recommendations and endorsements when he received his appointment. He had for some years been at the head of a battalion of negro troops as a colonel and his rank was later reduced to that of a major. Last year he secured the passage of a special Legislature putting him on the retired list as a colonel. When he applied to President Roosevelt for reappointment he filed along with other evidences of how the people at home liked him this bill of the Legislature. It helped him. The fact seems to be that Colonel Deveaux has played his cards so well that he was able to meet effectually every plan laid by those who did not want him appointed.—Savannah Letter in New York Sun.
