THE FREEMAN AND ETHIOPIA SHALL STRETCH FORTH HER HAND A NATIONAL ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER VOLUME XV. NUMBER 26. THE A. M. E. CHURCH NEEDED LEGISLATION IN THIS GREAT ORGANIZATION. GENERAL CONFERENCE FORECAST The Church Should Elect a Representative Man to Lead in the Organization of the Young People—Financial Needs of Wilberforce. EDITOR: FREEMAN:—Every General Conference of methodism is confronted with an issue. Two general conferences of the Methodist family have just closed. The parmount issue before the Methodist Episcopal church, South, was the consideration of the war claim. It is a question with the conscious members of that church whether the connection was justified in claiming $100,800 damages done the publishing interests by the federal government during the war. The issue before the C. M. E. church, general conference which met in Nashville, seems to have been the establishment of a more stable financial system in all the departments of the church. The bishop question was of small moment in both of these bodies. Only two bishops were elected by the Methodist church, South, and only one by the C. M. E. church. The former conference continued only three weeks; the latter only two weeks. The last general conference of the A. M. E. church seems to have had one object in meeting, that was the election of bishops and general officers. Very little wise legislation was done before these officials were laid, and little or nothing was done after. A bishop in the A. M. E. church is the biggest thing among Negroes in the world. A life position with a magnificent salary, the incumbent shrouded with honor, with influence equal to that of the Speaker of the House of Representatives, is a coveted place indeed. An appeal from a bishop's ruling is not worth the paper it is written on. The next session of the general conference of the A. M.E. church will be given to legislation. The bishop question will cut little or no figure, unless there be other deaths on the bench. Not more than one, if any, will be elected to the bishopric. Dr. J. M. Conner, of Arkansas, is probably the foremost candidate up to date; but nobody can tell what a day will bring forth. A breezy time is expected to grow out of the Tice Smith, and Chappelle Smith controversies. Both Dr. Tice and Dr. Chappelle claim that they have cards up their sleeves which will be outlining in case of an emergency. The runged daring of Dr. Tice and the bold erorrtery of Dr. Chappell pitted against the fiery eloquence and shrewd diplomacy of Bishop Smith will make an interesting session some day during the general conference of 1904. No less interesting will be the occasion when Dr. Leak, the "old man eloquent," of North Carolina, rises in his strength to save himself from going down in disgrace to his grave. Dr. John M. Henderson and other ringers around Philadelphia will feature conspicuously in this gang gang. The Educational department will come in for its share of attention. The church will before give more attention to the education of the ministry than ever before. Barring the antibellum element, the average layman is in advance of the clergy intellectually; and is steadily gaining ground. Backed by most excellent public schools and supplemented by academic and college training, the laymen already have a superior advantage of the ministry. Unless the denominational schools emphasize ministerial training in the future, the church will go backward. Prof. John R. Hawking, the commissioner of education is a layman, and if he will, in his recommendations, bear heavily upon this feature, his chances for re-election will be considerably enhanced. Wilberforce University needs more financial strength, not with a view of establishing more chairs or increasing salaries, but for the purpose of better equipping the institution from a material standpoint. More and better buildings are needed, and these already established ought to better equip. There is a fear that the state of Ohio will overshadow the A. M. E church in the matter of building up Wilberforce. We are already approaching the danger REV. WESLEY HENSON, Successful Pastor, Carpenter and Contractor, of Terre Haute, Ind. line. The general conference will do well to look after that matter. It doubtless will do so. The A. M. E. church is many respects the advance guard of the Afro-American organizations in this country, but in the master of the organization of the young people of the church, African Methodism is far in the rear. The B. Y. P. U. among the Baptists, the Epworth League with the Methodists and C. M. E. churches, the Christian Endeavor among the other evangelical churches are destined to sweep the country among the Christian young people. The A. M. E. church must wake up along this line. The "Allen Christian Endeavor" on paper, with a nominal figure head as president, will never amount to anything unless sufficient force is put behind the movement. The next general conference of the A. M. E. church should elect a wide-wake representative man to the position of Allen Endeavor secretary. Give him a good salary and require him to travel continuously and organize and inspect the work throughout the connection. A salary of $1,000 will employ the best talent in the connection. His traveling expenses can easily be paid by the churches he visits, and a man of brains could supplement his salary by lectures during his travels. Some thing must be done by the connection to save the young people to the church. The money spent by the connection to educate the masses, tends, rather to send them from the church, especially when they are required to support an illiterate ministry. The church can no longer afford to neglect the Allen Endeavor movement or a similar institution. Legislation should be enacted in the direction of requiring the bishops to travel more extensively. Bishops should visit other places in the interval of the annual conferences besides the large cities. At the INDIANAPOLIS, IND., SATURDAY, JUNE 28, 1902. last session of the general conference of the C. M. E. church, the law requiring bishops to hold district conferences was repealed and in its stead one was enacted requiring them to visit the people at large. A very wise law. There is a city in Tennessee that has not had an episcopal visit from an A. M. E. bishop in ten years. Very few of the strong men who composed the last general conference will be present at the next. Many of them have died already and others will fail of election on account of having been transferred to other conferences. Election of delegates will take place next year. Great discretion is required to send the ablest men. J. A. JONES. Pulaski, Tenn. TERRE HAUTE. it's P rogressive Men of Affairs--Color ed Contractor Busy--A Popular School Teacher, Etc. Terre Haute, whilst not a large city, has quite a cosmopolitan air, and its 45,000 inhabitants, seem to be progressive and strictly in line and perhaps superior to many towns in the country who arrogate greater pretensions. Its colored citizens are a thrifty, industrious set. One thing I observed with pride, their efforts toward the acquisition of property. Rev. Wesley Henson presents a sterling object lesson of what a preacher may accomplish aside from his vocation in the cloth. Rev. Henson seems to do everything well. He is not only one of the popular devines of Terre Haute, but a high class and very successful contractor and carpenter as well. Rev. Henson is at present engaged on a very extensive contract, remodelling the Allen Chapel, one of the largest colored churches in the city. He is giving six men employment. The accompanying portrait is a very good likeness of this worthy young man. Miss Elizabeth Fischer is a young Terre Haute lady, the product of one of the local schools, who has won her way into the hearts of the people as a teacher. If her past success in her work continues big things are in store for her in the future. J. C. Rice is a recent importation to the ranks of Terre Haute citizenship. He hails from Greenville, Ky. Mr. Rice seems to be a thorough business man. He has opened up, and is conducting very satisfactorily, a first class saloon at 1032 College street, corner Thirteenth. Pleasant Cooksey is a young Indianapolis boy who is doing excellently in the liquor business. His place is located at 230 N. First street. Young Cooksey's trade is so equally divided among the whites and blacks that it warrants his keeping both white and colored bartenders. John Gibbs, at 15 N. Third street, the old Brown stand, is also doing nicely in the saloon business. He is a good fellow and makes one feel that Terre Haute would not be such a bad town to live in. Success to you Gibbs. George W. Garrett, the popular young head waiter of the "Terre Haute House," is a congenial good fellow. He is handling a force of 30 men. George is evidently very much the "whole thing" as pertains to social affairs. Henry C. Cook, the grand old man of Pythianism, is conducting a paying tensorial business for the whites. He thinks his ambition to set up a local hobby will soon be realized. This has been his hobby for years, notwithstanding the rebuffs and disappointments consequent upon maiden efforts in this line.

The five-cent packet is enough for an ordinary occasion. The family bottle, sixty cents, contains a supply for a year. "An egg in the process of hatching is remarkably sensitive to vibration," says Edward Gudehus, an expert in the breeding of fowls. "Half the failures that amateurs encounter in hatching out chicks by the incubator method are due to lack of precaution in providing against the effect of vibration upon the eggs. The rumble of a train or the passage of wagons along the street will destroy a whole incubator full of eggs if the faintest wave reaches the apparatus. Even such a little thing as the banging of a door in some other part of the house will destroy the chances ofatching out a brood where care has not been taken to place the incubator beyond the reach of such disturbances. A thunderstorm always gives breeders a scare, as thousands of eggs may be spoiled by a sudden heavy thunder clap. To sneeze or cough in the vicinity of the incubators will sometimes work a disastrous result."—Philadelphia Record. United States First in Agriculture. "The fruit growing and gardening, purely domestic matters a hundred years ago, have now come to be great business enterprises, commanding millions of dollars of capital. Already North America is the greatest fruit growing country in the world, practising the most scientific and progressive methods. The flower growing interest is itself an important source of national wealth. Where once we grew tomatoes in an amateurish way as a garden product, we now grow them in blocks of hundreds of acres. So great have become the horticultural in this country that departments of horticulture have been established even in many small as well as large schools. The generation to come will see the different branches of horticulture each in itself a department of the institution. The extent to which these special industries are singled out and emphasized measures the increasing importance of agriculture as a whole. Spraved Fruits. Any one familiar with current agricultural literature will be impressed with the extensive use of poisonous solutions for spraying plants to destroy fungi and insects. The enemies of the agriculturist are legion and the harm to vegetable crops enormous. A great deal of patient and painstaking work has been done in biological laboratories of late years in ferreting out the life history of parasites and devising a means of extermination. The sanita- THE FREEMAN: AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER. rian cannot be wholly indifferent to the fact that in many cases the treatment is the liberal use of solutions of arsenic or compoundnounds. The danger from this source is a subject of discussion in a recent bulletin of the Ohio experiment station, the particular point being the spraying of grapes with a solution of copper. The conclusions of the investigator are that when grapes are sprayed in accordance with the directions of the station no deleterious results will follow. Indeed well sprayed grapes are sought by many users because of better quality, that is freedom from rot. Of the analysis the amount of copper was 0.4 milligram to 100 grams about 1-40 of a grain to the pound. This amount was larger than that found in samples and sent to the station by disinterested parties. Investigation was made also, as to the liability of jelly made from those grapes to contain copper. Some grapes that had been condemned as improperly sprayed were selected. These contained about one-twentieth of a grain of copper to the pound. The fruits and stems were cooked together and a jelly obtained. One hundred grams of this contained 0.18 milligrams of copper; that is less than one-quarter of the amount in the original material. It appears therefore that much of it remains in the vegetable substance. The jelly was eaten by two of the station staff without apparent harm. It seems, therefore, reasonable to assume that no serious harm will result from the intelligent spraying of grapes with copper solution. It must be borne in mind, however, that copper is far less dangerous than arsenic and more liable to form insoluble compounds with protied matters. Thus the copper sulphate used for coloring peas passes in large part into a form that is not easily digestible. Arsenical preparations used as sprays will need watching but so far, even this method has not been the cause of serious results. Killing Weeds. The best way to kill weeds is to dig them up with the hoe. In the case of quack grass it is sate also to put the weed in a blazing fire after it is dug. Many men have worried their heads over the invention of a chemical weed killer. If one could take some agreeable medicine for weeds as he does for agne or that tired feeling it would be a great relief from hoeing and plowing. The botanist of the Vermont experiment station who is an expert in such matters says this sort of medicine will work in some cases. Gravel walks, drives and tennis courts, for instance, can be kept free from weeds by the use of certain chemicals. Compounds containing arsenic seem to be far superior to other chemicals. The trials made at the Vermont station have included salt copper sulphate, potassium, sulphide, kerosene, carbolic acid and sulphuric acid. The arsenical compound tested were as follows, named in the order of their merit: Henderson's fluid weed destroyer arseniate of soda, Smith's weed destroyer, arsenical-soda mixture. In choosing between these cost, convenience and effectiveness are to be considered. The cost is as follows, using eight gallons to the square rod; Henderson's fluid weed destroyer, 40 cents to the square rod; arseniate of soda, 11 cents a square rod; arsenic-salsoda mixture cost 81 cents a square rod. The arseniate of soda seems to be the best for general use, especially when the expense is considered. For killing weeds in lawns or similar places where it is desired that useful plants shall occupy the treated soil as soon thereafter as possible, crude carbolic acid is the most generally useful chemical, since it is prompt in its action and does not permanently poison the soil. Sulphuric acid comes next, but it is less penetrating. Its only advantage as compared with carbolic acid is that it is not malodorous. Common salt is inferior to any of the above chemicals for miscellaneous weed killing. How Fruits Grow. While pruning has to be modified to suit the style of training employed with any given plant, each species of plant bears its fruit in a peculiar manner, which renders the maintenance of wood of a certain age and character necessary in order to secure a crop of fruit. In the case of the apple and the pear the fruits are borne upon wood of last year's growth only. Heading in or shortening each shoot of the season's growth therefore must be done with care in order not to reduce the bearing wood beyond a profitable limit. With these two plants, however, the bearing shoots are not those minking the most vigorous growth at the ends of the branches but they are usually more obscurely located on the sides of the branches and make a much smaller growth for which reason they have been termed "spurs." With the peach, however, it is the wood of last season's growth upon which the fruits are directly borne, and with them, heading in may be successfully employed to limit the quantity of fruit borne by the tree Japan plums bear on both year old wood and spurs; pruning may be, therefore used to thin the fruit, the same as in the case of the peach — New England Farmer. FARM NOTES. How long to keep a cow depends upon her work. Age should be given no consideration as long as the old cows are giving a profit. Plant cucumbers for pickles now and when the plants begin to bear, pull off the young cucumbers before they exceed three inches in length being careful not to allow any of them to mature. Prof. H, M. Cottreil, head of the agricultural department of the Kansas Agricultural College since 1897, has resigned to take charge in July of Walter Vroman's 2,000-acre farm at Trenton, Mo., where steer and hog breeding is carried on, also sanitary dairying, production of broilers, capons and eggs and the growing of fruit vegetables and farm seeds. When hens do not lay in summer the fault may be due to overfeeding, owing to the abundance of insects, grass and seed on the range or pasture. It is better to send such hens to market if they are over two years old and depend upon the early hatched pullets as winter layers. All pullets that are to be retained should be kept in good growing condition, not fat but allowing a variety of food, meat being much better than corn or wheat, for all kind of young poultry. + Ensilage is not only the cheapest of all cattle foods, but a supply in winter prevents a complete change from green to dry food. A change means less milk, unless some succulent food such as ensilage or roots, is allowed in addition to hay or grain. Some cows fall off in milk when put on dry food and do not regain in yield again until the next spring. Regulating a milk supply by regulating the food and its quality requires a study of both summer and winter conditions. Rust in wheat may be prevented by destroying the spores in the seed. One plan is to soak the seed in a solution made by dissolving a pound of sulphate of copper in ten gallons of hot water, allowing the seed to remain in the solution twenty-four hours, then drying the with fine laud plaster and sowing or drilling as soon as dry. Wheat that showed indications of rust last year should be avoided, however, and new seed procured. It should also be planted on a different field from that on which wheat was grown last year. It is a difficult undertaking with some to determine when a watermelon is ripe. One method used in Georgia is to scrape off the thin rind, with the thumb nail. If the edges of the skin on each side of the scar are left jagged or granulated the melon is ripe, but if the edges are left smooth and even, the thumb nail dug into the rind in many places and the skin does not come off clean, the melon is green. The test can be made on two melons, one green and the other ripe. When thumping a melon the ripe one gives a dull sound while the sound from the green ones is loud and clear. As a crop for ensilage, corn has held the lead, but those who have tried the experiment claim that corn and cow peas grown together are superior to either alone for ensilage. The corn is drilled and cultivated in rows until about six inches high, when the cow peas are then planted. The crop is harvested as near maturity as possible, cut into short lengths with an ensilage cutter and stored in the silo. Some practice the plan of sowing corn and cow peas by broadcasting. The mixture of corn and cow peas makes a very palatable and nutritious food that largely increase the flow of milk, and as such food also contains more protein and mineral matter than corn silage it is better balanced. Experiments also show that ensilage of corn and cow peas keeps well in the silo and comes out in good condition. It is more suitable for sheep than corn ensilage, and as an acre will produce a large amount of such ensilage it is also a cheap food for live stock.

Indeed, love letters are very common at the present day. Love letters are not like other kinds of letters; they are warm confidential and in an uncommon sense are real heart talks; they tell plain frank, faithful stories. These love letters of an American girl are no exception to the rule. They are worthy of a careful reading; they exhibit to plain view a soul that pleases us; they are bright, witty, wise, learned, charming. This American girl, while traveling abroad is madly loved by a nobleman, but she was not built after the fashion of other American girls. She returned to her own country to marry and in her after marriage love letters, a most charming effusion, she betrays a delightful personality.

THE FREEMAN: AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER chef last winter. He leaves for Northern Michigan, this week, to take a hotel in the same vocation. Editor Freeman —Mr. C. Saunders wishes to extend his thanks to his many friends in St. Paul, Minn., and to The Freeman for their congratulation in The Freeman's last issue. Mr. Saunders was born in Hopkinsville, Ky., September 25, 1865, and began hotel life in that city at the Cooper house, and from there went to St. Louis and worked C. SAUNDERS. at the Laclede hotel, from which place he went to the Bates House, Indiana-polis, Ind., and from there to the Palmer house, Chicago, and Grand Pacific, that city; also the Lexington hotel. The season of 1900 was at the Eastman hotel, Hot Springs, Ark., as third head-water, and at the close of the season came to St. Paul, and has made many warm friends who wish him much success. Editor Freeman—As your items in last week's issue created a great excitement among the waiters, I am living in hopes of securing you a few subscribers. Cloud L. Galter, who was headwaiter at the Grand Central hotel until recently, is now employed at the McLure house. William Brown of Columbus, Ohio, who succeeded Mr. Galter is now headwaiter at the Grand Central hotel, and I hear he is getting along very well. Joseph Verse, who is headwaiter at the Stamm hotel, paid a flying visit to Pittsburg, Pa., Sunday, the 15th, to see his wife and babies. Henry B. F. Jones, one of the oldest and most reliable waiters of the McLure house, left Sunday, the 15th, for a visit to his Virginia home. Mr. Jones is a rich old bachelor. The Virginia girls will do well to keep an eye on him. Madam Rumor has it that Jacob Galter will soon take unto himself a better half. The girl that captures Mr Galter will no doubt do well; he is as study as a dye and as regular to duty as the clock. Notes of Interest.

Lawyer, Real Estate Owner and Chiropodist--LL. B. and Bachelor and Master of Philosophy--Born in Slavery and Now Going Abroad to Win More Honors. Among the advanced degrees given by Columbia University at commencement, last Wednesday, none perhaps represented more energy and perseverance than that of master of arts bestowed upon Moses Leonard Frazier. Mr. Frazier is a Negro. He is said to be the only one ever graduated from the school of political science of Columbia. He was born in slavery, in New Orleans, 42 years ago. He is one of the rare individuals in whom the inclination to study and the desire for education are indomitable. No amount of difficulty has availed to hinder him. From the days of his public school work in the city of his birth, Mr. Frazier has been at it steadily, until the degree won the other day was the fourth that he has taken. While he was in the public schools of New Orleans young Frazier found time to prepare himself for an occupation that would enable him to earn more money than he needed for immediate use and so permit him to save enough to take him through college. He chose the business of hair-dressing and chiro-pody, and as soon as he had made himself expert at it he began to teach others. When he left the New Orleans school he continued this business for several years. He had been at it for nearly twenty years when he concluded that the time had come when he could quit and undertake the higher educational course upon which he had determined. He went to Alliance, Ohio, where he entered Mount Union College. He was graduated from the literary department in the class of '96, receiving the degree of bachelor of philosophy. This was but the beginning. Mr. Frazler went, that fall, to Cambridge, where he entered Harvard University, to pursue a special course for a master's degree. He did not like it at Harvard, and before the year was out came to New York, where he began the course in the New York Law School. At the same time he continued his studies for the degree of master of philosophy. About this time he secured a charter for a school of chiropody and dermatology, which he established in this city. He supervised the school and lectured upon some of the subjects taught, employing other instructors and maintaining a considerable establishment. This business prospered very well, and he was enabled to undertake some speculations in real estate, which also proved profitable. Meantime he was carrying on his college work. In 1899 he was graduated from the law school with the degree of LL B. Thereupon he returned to Alliance and took the examinations at Mount Union College for the master's degree in philosophy, which he won. That made three degrees, and began to equip Mr. Frazier to vie with Booker Washington for the honors of erudition in his race. But he was not satisfied. He was admitted to the bar in this State and began the practice of law here, still continuing to manage his school of chiropody and dermatology and his growing real estate business. Also, he undertook the course in Columbia for the degree of master of arts, making a specialty of criminal law. This was the degree he won this week. While he was thus pursuing his studies his school and other business was prospering and he had more law practice than he could attend to, turning part of it over to friends. Now that he has taken four degrees Mr. Frazier thinks he has a fairly good start. He does not intend to stop, however, on the threshold of an education, but is contemplating a further course. He intends to go to Germany before very long, where, at Heidelberg, he will take a course for the doctor's degree in constitutional law, at the same time devoting some attention to the study of languages. Mr. Frazier's mother is still living in New Orleans, and he supports her. His father died some time ago. "My experience in getting an education has not been unpleasant," he said yesterday. "I was told that I should have a hard time of it going through Columbia, but, on the contrary, I was treated well there, as well as at the other schools I have attended. I find that the color of a man's skin is no bar to his success as a student if he conducts himself as a gentleman. Most men, I suppose, at my age, would feel that they were entitled to take a rest. I got a late start, and it was a long struggle for me to get on my feet, but when a man is in earnest work is play." Mr. Frazier has found that work is profitable as well as entertaining. He is the owner of several valuable pieces of real estate in New York and Brooklyn. He has never married, and has no family except his mother.—New York Sun, June 14, 1902. Short, Spicy Snapshots Springfield, Ill., Special.—The Culture club has closed for about three months for vacation.

The Executive Committee of the National Negro Business League has decided to call the third annual session at Richmond, Va., August 25, 26, 27, 1902. The interest manifested in the meetings at Boston and Chicago, held in 1900 and 1901, easily convince us that such an organization as the National Negro Business League is to wield a powerful influence in arousing business interest among our people. Perhaps no other movement could have brought us to know each other as business men as this organization has done. The Boston and Chicago meeting enabled the world and ourselves, as well, to know of our possibilities as business men and women. Many of our people who have thought they were struggling alone, have found in the past two years that they are not alone, and that there are many others fighting the same battles and meeting with the same measure of success. The notes of comparison, the interchange of ideas and the study of the progressive and wide awake methods employed by many of our leading business men, have served, and will serve, most usefully to help all who attend these meetings. The citizens of Richmond and the Local Negro Business League are enthusiastic over the coming meeting; already they have arranged to entertain most comfortably every one who attends. Persons intending to be present are urged to write Mr. Giles B. Jackson, 812 E. Broad street, Richmond, Va., chairman of the local committee on arrangements. All persons engaged in business, whether that business is large or small, are entitled to membership—women as well as men. The annual fee is $3.00. Local business organizations are urged to send as many delegates as possible. Where local leagues are not already formed, it is desirable that such leagues be formed as soon as possible, and that a strong delegation be sent to Richmond. Every Negro business man and woman will find it a profitable investment of time and money to spend a week or move each year away from their business, securing rest and recreation, and at the same time coming in contact with others who are engaged in business. It is a rare opportunity to get new and valuable ideas. One of the most interesting features of the Chicago meeting was an extensive exhibit of photographs of Negro business men and women, and of their places of business—the latter consisted of both inside and outside views. The officers of the national organization desire to make an even more extensive exhibit at Richmond than the one at Chicago. These photographs should be sent at once to President Booker T. Washington, Tuskegee, Ala. We trust there may not be delay in this matter. The proceedings of our Chicago meeting have been published by Mr. S. Laing Williams, 113 Adams street, Chicago, Ill., at thirty-five cents a copy. These proceedings should be in the hands of every business man. Any and all persons who are engaged in business are urged to write President Booker T. Washington, at Tuskegee, or to Emmett J. Scott, corresponding secretary. Tuskegee, Ala., for further information if desired. Reduced rates of one and one-third fare have been secured over all railroad lines of the Southeastern Passenger Association, the New England Passenger Association, the Western Passenger Association, and the Trunk Line Association. In purchasing tickets, delegates should be sure to ask for certificates entitling them to the benefit of one-third return fare. Already the New England delegation has arranged to make the trip in a special private Pullman car. Other delegations are urged to effect similar arrangements. BOOKER T. W. WASHINGTON, President. T.

E. C. KNOX, Manager, The FREEMAN. JUDGE STOTSENBURG ON THE RACE. Judge Stotsenburg of New Albany, Ind, has contributed a timely article to the Freeman that will be found elsewhere in this issue. He takes a courageous stand for exact, even handed justice for all men regardless of color. He, in detail and with much show of consideration for the colored man, sets forth the laws of the land, of the human heart, of God, showing wherein they are not being obeyed, and the colored man, in consequence, is being robbed of his birthright, defeated of the laws' protection and banished from the hearts of men. The judge deals with conditions as they should be which, at least, shows that his heart is in the right place and throbs in unison to the decrees of God, the laws of the land and in interest with the down trodden sons of Ham. But all are not Stotsenburgs, even in theory. However, many are with him in sentiments, but far too many stop short there, and were it otherwise the very kind letter from the judge would need never to have been uttered. He talks as one of us who feels as we do, thinks as we do. But at that, we will not think that it is altogether in our stars that we are underlings. For if so we must preach another gospel rather than that of peace and concord of the races. It will say that the colored people have reached a satisfactory plane in all that pertains to their existence in America, and that the whites, regardless of the perfection, are determined to rest neither night or day until the Negroes are driven into the sea. We will not have it so. It was not so when thousands of lives and millions of money were poured out as a libation to propitiate the god of battles in the dark days of the sixties, and it is not so now. Observing colored men, the country over, are beginning to realize that the times are out of joint for the race. Lines are becoming more noticeable, appearing in unexpected places. Many reasons are given along with the solution, but as yet nothing avails. The crux of oppression is weightier yet; the fiery crucible maintains a steadier glow—at white heat, with no sign of diminution. Man speaks in learned platitudes about the supremacy of the laws and the duties of Christian neighbors, but its "on with the dance." The question is what shall we do to be saved? It was the thief on the cross who insisted that Christ save himself. The race has not saved others, but it must save itself. Man may as well dismiss the spirit of prophecy in the matter—conjectures to the wind—"physics to the dogs." There must be a radical treatment from either side or else the colored man will find himself a man without a country. There are set conditions that must be injected into this politico-social equation or they may be omitted, but with far different results. We as a race, if our speech betray our thoughts, are exhibiting a THE FREEMAN: AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER. destructive impatience as to our welfare, forgetful that all races have progressed by slow stages even when unhampered by a previous life of servitude, which thought, like the famous ghost, will not down. While Judge John Stotsenburg and his kind will teach the lesson of tolerance, brotherly love, Christlike forbearance, and, moreover, obedience to and reverence for the laws of the land, we will not forget that there may be other sinners, and perchance, between this upper and nether millstones the race will be refined into that quality consonant with the demands of the age. The proud man that has never bowed his head in servility is proud of his ancestry that reaches over a sweep of years—free and yokeless. He is proud of his bequeathment, the rightful heirs to the achievements and glories of a thousand generations. He glories in his proud position, and its in the warp and woof of his nature to exult over those who faint by the way. He must be won; cannot be forced. We do not take in the question in its larger phase—the philosophy of the situation—the history of the struggles of the world's nations for existence and supremacy. If we did we would fight on for the utmost freedom, but without the spirit of defiance. We must fight if we would win. Not always the outer foe; the inner foe as well. Conguer self. To be plain about it, we need men to lead like Mr. Washington who is not afraid to say that the colored people should cut out a $225 funeral; pay $35 and put $190 on a place or in a bank, as he said in Louisville. This is but one of the many little inconsistencies which, when summed up, become racial traits that put the race in an ugly position, when viewed in relation to the other race, with the further view of total recognition. It is just such things, the little things, the multiplicity of them, that are observed on the one hand, but not on the other, that prevents us from reaching a more perfect understanding. We may as well dispel the delusion that a perfect day of racial peace can ever come. It does not exist between races that have been more favored in every way. But a better condition can exist, and must exist. It rests with the colored people as well with the whites. AT THE Y. M. C. A. Last Sunday was another notable day in the history of the Y. M. C. A. of this city. The meeting was held at Ninth Presbyterian church instead of the assembly rooms of the association. Among the many present were Bishop Alexander Walters of the A. M. E Zion church, Dr. B. F. Watson of the Extension Department of the A. M. E church, Dr. H. T. Johnson of the Christian Recorder, one of the organs of the A. M. E church, Dr. Wm. H. Chambers of the A. M. E. Zion church, Rev. Levi E. Christy of the A. M. E church, and Mr. Johnson of the senior year of the theological department of Wilberforce University. Secretary Evans turned the meeting over to Dr. B F. Watson, who said he was gratified at the evidences he saw before him of a vigorous christian organization that sought the moral salvation of the young men. He thought the program rendered worthy of charge for admission and that just such programs would serve to attract to the work—the means to an end Bishop Walters considered it a pleasure to be there if his presence would in any way tend to encourage the work. He has been associated with Bishop Arnett in the Christian Endeavor work for seven years. The sight before him was an evidence of the dawn of a newer day when the younger Negro men were looking out for the salvation of the younger men, the hope of the race. These reach a class that the church does not reach; those who feel that the present pulpit does not satisfy their needs. These find a substitute in the Y. M. C. A., which will at last eventuate into the church. He was proud to see stalwart young men of soul, of intelligence, sanctifying their intelligence to the advancement of the Mastev's kingdom on earth. He admonished them to be strong in temperance in intellect; also physically strong. He advised indulging in those gymnastic exercises conductive to the well being of the physical man. Rev H. T. Johnson paid a glowing tribute to the work. He said it was a revelation to him, exceeding his expectation. He has long been associated with association work and takes great delight in it. He encouraged the young men to hold out and to work. Rev. Levi E Christy is well known in this, his former home. He was pleased at what he saw in his home. The race is safe, says he, when we have developed men of worth and character, men who love and trust God. He felt that the young men had boundless opportunity to do good. Indianapolis, he considered, was beyond a rival when it comes to its progressive colored people. Dr. B F. Watson led in singing, the audience taking part with much spirit. Mr. W. D. Collins rendered a vocal solo. Prof. Damon an instrumental solo on the zither and Wm. Ratcliffe a piano solo. The third annual convention of the National Negro Business League will be held in Richmond, Va., August 25, 26 and 27. The former meetings, which were held in Boston and Chicago, set forth the objects of the organization's existence. But, in short, it may be stated that the league has in mind the encouragement of colored men in business, for the interchange of ideas and opinions and the studying of progressive methods that will be useful in furthering the interests of those attending the sessions. The work of the convention is under the supervision of Booker T. Washington, the foremost projector of the movement. That fact alone insures those attending much profit, and inspires the confidence of all. The reports of former meetings have been printed and widely distributed, thus placing results beyond speculation. Owing to circumstances the Negro in business has not the opportunities to study methods, practices and usages as they pertain to business that white men have. Mr. Washington, with his usual foresight, is doing his best to make up this deficiency through the work of the National Negro Business League. Among the interesting features of the convention will be an extensive exhibit of photographs of men and women in business and business houses. The interior of store rooms, offices and business places will also be seen in the exhibition. These pictures, the managers rightfully insist, will tend to develop the outside of business, which is essential. There is no reason why the league should not eventually branch out into yearly expositions. Those sections of the country where the colored people live in large numbers, and who now, and for many years in the future must depend upon their own ingenuity for subsistence in a commercial sense, would profit immensely by the increased interest. The exposition idea would be a great incentive toward furthering the designs of the promoter of the present movement. Indianapolis loses a very valuable man in the person of W. T. B. Williams, who has been the principal of the W. D. McCoy school for the past five years. He resigns to take charge of an important work in connection with the Institute at Hampton, Va., which work will be of a supervisional nature and traveling in the interest of the school. The Hampton school is one of the best in the country. It is very liberally maintained and conducted in the interest of Indians and colored people. Mr. Williams is a graduate of Harvard, and is recognized for his fine attainments and force of character. He is well fitted for the larger field of labor that he will soon occupy, one that will draw on his vast resources. While all here regret to lose Mr. Williams, yet the race has a right to the benefits that can result from his order of men. The universities educate that man may know universally; hence teach universally that the world may be generally improved. The colored people as a race stand very much in need of such men, men liberally endowed by nature and the schools, who are not only able to grapple with the stricter sciences, but those who are fortified along the line of general politics and questions of economy, and especially as they refer to the colored people in their relation to this country. The best methods of extracting a livelihood from the prosey, meagre Negro opportunity, of conserving health and of reducing physical agencies to subjection for man's convenience, are the needs that can come only from those of superior attainments. It is the few that can only hope to be favored by such an education; the many are not required. The many are to obey, to follow. We, while regretting the loss of such a valuable man as Mr. Williams, certainly congratulate him in that he has a field that can tax him to the uttermost, trusting that he will find it a pleasure to be thus taxed. The Freeman takes great pleasure in saying a word for Mr. Williams if, in doing so, it can in any way help facilitate his future movements. HARVEY JLL June 6 HARVEY, ILL., June 6 1902.

You are most cordially invited to attend the same. In all of our ways we have acquired the Lord, and He has blessed us. Whereof we are very glad Hoping we may have the pleasure of your presence, I am yours very truly. AMANDA SMITH We take pleasure in calling attention God. Amanda Smith has established an orphanage for colored children, supporting it by her own ingenuity. She is one of those plain women with nothing in her favor except her capabilities for religious fervor that bring her sympathy—support. She is one of the worthies that toll with name unwrit big in the affairs of men—but she loves her fellow man. The Middle States and Mississippi Valley Exposition will be held in Chicago from August 14th to September 14th. Interest in this worthy undertaking is growing daily; it promises to be one of the great events of recent years among colored people. It is being conducted under the patronage of the foremost men of the country, whose influence will certainly put the enterprise beyond the pale of failure. The immediate board of management is sanguine as to the success of the undertaking. It should have great encouragement since a noble purpose will be served in the success of the exposition, the net profit of which will be used for the endowment of a home of aged and infirm colored people. The Freeman will take pleasure in noting the progress of the affair from time to time, feeling that it is entitled to cordial support. Wm. M. Lewis of this city is preparing a lecture on Abraham Lincoln to be given in the near future. Mr. Lewis feels that there is a tendency to neglect the great factor, and that some one should see to it that the charge of ingratitude will not hold. The white people do full honor to one that in the best sense stands for American possibility. Born in a hovel, breathing his life out surrounded by the dignitaries of the world. He was the Christ of the colored man's material and political salvation. History affords no other parallel. His death, as tragic as it was, sad as it was, and as deplorable as it was, was the fitting finale of the greatest drama enacted on earth. Millions caught up his great life as it issued out, and the millions owe it to themselves to worship the man. Strew flowers on the murdered Lincoln's bier. Good times are coming "sho." Robert Smith, a Negro convicted of murdering a white woman at Sherman two years ago, and given the death penalty, goes free of punishment because the judge of the higher court to which the case was appealed decided that he was discriminated against because there were no Negroes on the jury. No one hops to see murderers go scot free, but if juries are packed for the purpose of conviction, as this judge thought, then the old maxim that its better for ninety-nine guilty men go free than one innocent man be punished ought to rule. In Texas it is understood that when colored men are being tried that some part of the jury be made up of colored men. And it should be so where the races move in almost totally distinct circles. Miss Mary Curtis Lee was fined $5 00 for ridi g in a "jim crow" division of the train en route from Washington to Alexandria. She did not appear in person and her collateral to the extent of $5 00 was forfeited. It is said that the people of Richmond are so indignant over the affair that an attempt will be made to repeal the law at the next session of the legislature. It is now said that the conductor was acting outside the law when he attempted to evict a passenger who had boarded a train in Washington. It's an ill wind, etc., as the old saw goes. BROOKLYN, N.

Could we but draw back the curtains That surround each other's lives, See the named heart and spirit, Know what spur the action gives, Often we should find it better, Purer than we judge we should, We should love each other better, If we only understood. Could we judge all deeds by motives. See the good and bad within, Often we should love the sinner All the while we loathe the sin; Could we know the powers working To o'erthrow integrity, We should judge each other's errors With more patient charity. If we knew the cares and trials, Knew the effort all in vain, And the bitter disappointment, Understood the loss and gain, Would the grim, external roughness Seem, I wonder, just the same? Should we help where now we hinder Should we pity where we blame? Ah, we judge each other harshly, Knowing not if life's hidden force, Knowing not the fount of action Is less turbid at the source, Seeing not amid the evil All the golden grains of good, Oh, we'd love each other better If we only understood.

His place makes the down town booking offices look sleepy when the volume of business is compared. —McKissick & Jones are at the North Side Garden this week with Grand Rapids to follow.—Creighton, the hoop roller is in town after awakening people in Detroit. He appears next week at the Chicago Opera House.—J A.

The week ending in Minneapolis Minn., the 15th inst. we made the greatest hit of our lives; the newspapers all giving us great notices and the people of the city seemed to be elated with the boys and certainly gave them a good time. The city is in a prosperous condition every one seemingly doing well. Henry Graves, baritone and celloist, closed in Minneapolis being suddenly called through some business transaction to the home of his parents. His absence makes a noticeable difference as he had one of the most important doubles in the business, that of euphonium and cello. We want Mr. Graves to know that he leaves a crowd of brothers here and that his club, "The Williamette, has its first outing in Winnipeg, July 1st and we will certainly use the name, "Hinie" all day. The dinner will be prepared by the efficient cook, Kid Laford. We are very sorry that Wm. Kelly of Vicksburg, Miss. and Harry Fidler, of Indianapolis can not be with us on that occasion; also Henry Graves a member, and master of the beverage department.

They send regards to Henry Smith, Sam Burns, John Eason and James Osborne. The entire company with the management sends regards to Henry Graves and say, "Hurry up, Henry and come home to the Georgias." --- Those Wicked Chorus Girls. A suggestive light is thrown on the still widespread superstion as to the inherent and universal wickedness of stage people and particularly of the chorus girls by the following note recently received by the manager of of a popular extravaganza in New York: "Dear Mr —: So many of the girls in the company live in Boston, and, therefore have no regular church to attend in New York that a number of us wish to hold a bible class meeting on Sunday afternoon at 1 o'clock. We wish to know if you will let us use the stage for that purpose. Yours truly." The girls not only got the stage but had music thrown in. --- It Reaches the People. Since placing an ad in your paper some time since, I find that of all the papers advertised in, your Freeman seems to reach the spot. I have received orders for copies of my song "entitled 'Don't Disfranchise the Negro,' from nea-ly every Southern state and as far West as California. This shows that The Freeman has an extensive circulation. Yours Truly, J. TAYLOR. 245 W. 39th-st. Chicago, Ill. White Actor Answered in Verse. Hen Wise sends the following (composed in 43 minutes) as an answer to a query from a leading comedian on the Orpheum circuit: Querry: Do you know any colored performers who have made any great mark outside of "horse-play" acting? Oh, yes! I know of quite a few Who have passed muster, same as you I mean, of course, in comedy but ultra refine; Not horse-play either, but ultra refine; Can you tell them—well, be it so, But the kind of film you see And the class of coors the public are clean, refined and can give a play. Why the press has joined the public, too, But what the coors can do, You want me for you to tell the market Of a few who have a "Rep" of fame? Well, I'll commence with minstrel bands and take for my subject, well say Kersands. As I know he has made millions laugh With a song and song and witty chaff. Carncross-Diary, when at his best, And Billy Emerson, when at his best, Had no greater names throughout the land Till this same coon, our Bill Kersands, His man to a monument Of Minstrelsy, presently. Then there's another known in every land For brain and eloquence. I mean Jim Bland A man who was fitted for the bar A man who was fitted for the bar As a writer his equals were very few His jokes and his songs were always new They've been told and sung the great world Bob Cole—I guess you've heard that name Another coon who is gaining everlasting fame Why he stands to-day not arring none What he does to the sun. Old Hoss Hoey! his palestmist Could not more vividly portray The Weary Willie Hobole role But this same Nero—Robt. Cole. I heard one even sung, last night by von He holds his own in any show; Comedian, well I guess he is and one who always shows him biz and a show in the stage And sill o'r risco he was the rage Now Mr. P, D., your "rep" will do But remember Hogan's got one too.

"Place a Light to Guide Me Home;" "The Bridge of Sighs" and "Stay in Your Own Back Yard." Recently Miss Aurie Dagwell played Hurtig & Seamons's and the Orpheum Brooklyn and the feature of her repertoire was "Sadie Say You Won't Say Nay." She continues to use it with big success. Miss Edna Birchel, the phenominal contralto, has in rehearsal a new song by Cogley and Beck entitled "Tom the Ne'er do Well" which she anticipates is going to be as big a hit as she has ever sang. The recent effort of Will Accooe, "Southern Blossoms" waltzes is winning its way to popularity; it is a musicianly suite de valse and deserves its frequent encores, when rendered. Havens & Ames, the well known character duettists, who toured the Southern cities, write that Fay & Oliver's, "Goodnight, Beloved Goodnight" is one of the best numbers in their repertoire. They have also added Louis Weslyn's "On! La, La, La, La, La." Mr. Spencer Kelley, who made such a hit at the Victoria Theatre with Primrose and Dockstader's Minstrels has just booked the Flynn circuit of parks and will sing an entirely new repertoire, containing the following songs: "Soldiers," "Won't You Come Back to Me, Marie;" "You are My All in All," "Your Own," "Why Did They Sell Killarney" and "Tis Better to Have Loved and Lost." That Queen of Vaudeville, Miss Louise Dresser, writes from St. Louis that she has sung, for the first time Harry Freeman's "Oh My," or "Troubles of Little Black Folks," and it proved a winner. She is also singing "Stay in Your Own Back Yard." One of the features of Rice's "Show Girl" at Wallack's Theatre is the singing of Ford and Bratton's "Be My Little Apple Dumplin, Do." by "Bob" Dalley. Raymond Moore has placed with M. Whittmark & Sons his latest ballad, "Sweet Maggie May," and the general verdict is that "It is sweeter than "Sweet Marle.'" Already hundreds of the best balladists and quartettes are singing it and it will only be a matter --- --- --- --- . . . --- --- --- of a few weeks when the whole country will be whistling it. A very clever pair of singers is Reidy and Currier. They have just started on their annual park engagements and are singing "In The Springtime." and "Dear Old Pipe." Bland & Lewis are doing a very fine singing act; and are using, "A Gentle- man of Winning Ways," "I Never Heard Her Speak of You That Way" and "Fay and Oliver's," "Just to be Near You." The pretty and clever comedienne, Annie Wilkes, is at present charming her audiences with "Its for Her, Her, Her," by Ren Shields and Billlee Taylor; "I Left My Heart in Dixie," by Marshall and Lorraine" and "Jimmy" the pride of newspaper row.

ARRAIGNS THE WHITE PEOPLE He Favors the Strictest Enforcement of the Laws Regardless of Race or Color—Missionaries Have a Great Work in the United States. EDITOR FREEMAN:—While great and difficult questions confront our people and their agents in Congress concerning the inhabitants of the Philippine Islands and Cuba, questions as difficult and more perplexing constantly present themselves within our own territory in relation to citizens of color. Although under the form of constitutional law in our republic, every right and privilege which the white citizen has is guaranteed also to the black citizen, yet these great rights and privileges are not actually accorded to him. Again, although all christians subscribe to the doctrine that God is no respecter of persons and that the color of a man's skin is nothing in His sight, yet very, very few of the same so-called christians do more than subscribes to it. With them, generally speaking, it is merely a theory, unsubstantial and incapable of realization in the United States of America. When our statesmen and politicians talk of doing missionary work in the matter of civilizing and christianizing foreigners, it never occurs to them that it would be better to begin at home and bring popular and governmental influence to bear to remove the prejudice which now exists North, South, East and West against the citizen of color. There is a prejudice—a prejudice akin to, if not worse than savage cruelty and barbarity, which exhibits to the world its beneful influence in the shooting, hanging, burning and torturing of colored men upon mob accusa- Mammoth Cave One of America's greatest wonders is located in Edmonson County, Kentucky, 90 miles south of Louisville.

Every man in this republic, be he white, black or yellow, has the right to a speedy and public trial by an impartial jury of the state and district wherein the crime shall have been committed and to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation; to be confronted with the witnesses against him; to have compulsory process for obtaining witnesses in his favor, and to have the assistance of counsel for his defence. These are the rights of an accused person solemnly conferred upon him by Article VI of the Constitution of the republic, and yet in open defiance of the constitution, colored men, charged with a crime and without trial or chance to disprove the charge, are almost daily done to death in the most cruel and savage form; and these murders are perpetrated in a Christian land, whose people are engaged, at great expense and with the shedding of the blood of our best and bravest, in the benevolent business of christianizing aliens in lands across the sea. If you should ask one of the educated, christianized and church-going lynchers, these defers of God's law and man's law, if he believed that God made of one blood all nations of the earth, as the Bible teaches, he would say, "certainly I do; there is no color line in heaven and none in this country." If, however, you should ask the colored man if white Christians do recognize a color line, he would answer that they do, and he certainly knows. One of their best writers has publicly answered the query in an article in the North American Review. "In the abstract," he says, "there is no prejudice against color. No man shrinks from another because he is clothed in a suit of black. If color is an offence, it is so entirely apart from the manhood it envelops. There must be something in color itself, to kindle rage and inflame hate and render the white man generally uncomfortable. If the white man were really constituted that color were, in itself, a torment to him, this grand old earth of ours would be no place for him. Colored objects here confront him at every point of the compass. If he should shrink and sudder every time he sees anything dark, he would have little time for anything else. He would require a colorless world to live in, a world where flowers, fields and floods should be all of snowy whiteness; where rivers, lakes and oceans should be all white; where islands, capes and continents should all be white; where all men, women and children should be white; where all the fish of the sea, all the birds of the air, all the cattle upon a thousand hills should be white; where the heaven above and earth beneath should be white, and where the day and night should not be divided by light and darkness, but the world should be one eternal scene of light. In such a white world a black man would be hailed with joy by the inhabitants. Anybody or anything would be welcome that would break the oppressive and tormenting monotony of the all-pervading white." The man of christian churches who declare there is no color line are very much like the white passengers in the stage coach who traveled with the late Frederick Donglass. "Riding," he said, "in a stage coach from Concord, N. H., to Vergennes Vt., many years ago, I found myself on very pleasant terms with all the passengers throughout the night; but the morning came to me as it came to the stars; I was, as Dr. Beecher says he was at the first fire he witnessed, when a bucket of cold water was poured down his back, 'the fire was not put out, but he was.'" This question of the protection of the colored race and the white citizens' duty and obligations to promptly and severely punish the perpetrators of lynch law, confronts the nation from its President and the Governors of its states to the unofficial humble citizen. It is fortunate for the country that the President is not afraid to do what he thinks is right and proper in this regard. He no doubt has deeply and carefully studied this race problem, as it affects the rights and liberties of the people and the stability and perpetuity of our republic. No man, however exalted or humble in station, can shut his eyes to the fact that no question can compare with that of the colored race in America, socially, politically, morally and religiously. American white prejudice, if suffered to commit lawless deeds of violence under pretence of swift, retributive justice, without the recourse of courts and juries, will sooner or later precipitate a war of races. This white prejudice, one of the great leaders of the race declares, is founded upon the fact that "they are Negroes—and that is enough, in the AMERICAN INDUSTRIES. eyes of this unreasonable prejudice, to justify indignity and violence. In nearly every department of American life they are confronted by this insidious influence. It fills the air. It meets them at the workshop and factory, when they apply for work. It meets them at the church, at the hotel, at the ballot box, and, worst of all, it meets them in the jury box. Without crime or offense against law or gospel, the colored man is the Jean Valjean of American society. He has escaped from the galleys, and hence all presumptions are against him. The workshop denies him work, the inn denies him shelter, the ballot box a fair vote, and the jury box a fair trial. He has ceased to be the slave of the individual, but has, in some sense, become the slave of society." A satisfactory and wise solution of the race problem would soon be reached if all men were made to understand that every legal and constitutional right of the colored man must be respected; that in this country, as the great expounder of the constitution said, "Everywhere the law reaches to the highest and reaches to the lowest, to protect all in their rights and to restrain all from wrong; and over all hovers liberty, that liberty for which our fathers fought, with her eyes ever watchful, and her eagle wings ever wide outspread." Here is the great anomaly. If a citizen of this republic, white or black, should be unlawfully injured in his person or property or murdered in any foreign country, upon complaint filed with the State Department, redress would be demanded and exacted from that country; and if a black citizen of Great Britain, Germany or Italy should be lynched by mob violence in any of the states of the Union, the government to which that murdered man belonged would demand and receive from this republic redress and adequate compensation for his legal representatives. But if an innocent colored citizen is lynched in one of our states by a mob, no redress whatever can be given. The foreign is, therefore, more kind to the foreigner than to its own citizens. But a more powerful influence than the President or Congress to bring about a happy solution of this race difficulty is the christian church. It neglects its great opportunity. It is afraid to speak out authoritatively against the injustice done to the colored man. What Christian body instructs its ministers and priests to denounce lynching and lynchers? What general assembly, convention, synod or council dares to enjoin upon its members and supporters throughout the land to abstain from lynching and to protect accused persons from the tyranny and ruffly cruelty of a mob? If the church of Christ had done or would do its duty fearlessly in denouncing the cruelties practiced upon the colored race, that race would take care of itself, and education and religion would soon purify and enlighten it. There is room enough in the world for all people, black and white. Africa may not again receive them, except as missionaries of the Most High, but for the educated and christianized colored man, there is ample room, even in America, as the father of the family, the protector of the state, and the child of the church. Give the colored race a chance, and America will not be ashamed of her black children from whose limbs fell the shackles only thirty-seven years ago. The Israelites, specially led by the Almighty Father, came out of Egyptian slavery a corrupt, licentious, stiff-necked and rebellious people. The blacks, emancipated by the necessities of war, came out of American slavery a simple-minded, honest, illiterate and loyal people. The ancient Britons were superstitious and ferocious. The Saxons were barbarous and ignorant; the Normans were not much better. Only a few centuries have quietly passed, and to-day this same England—the England of the Britons, the Saxons and the Normans, with her language, her laws, her literature, her arts, her manufactures and her christianity controls and leads the world. Nations envy and admire that power, as Webster so felicitously said, "which has dotted over the surface of the whole globe with her possessions and military posts; whose morning drum-beats, following the sun and keeping company with the hours, circles the earth with one continuous and unbroken strain of the material airs of England. And why should not America, our America, practicing the arts of peace—America, the home of the white race and the black race as well, before another century rolls by, stand among the nations of the earth far ahead of where England is to-day? Educate and christianize the colored race and they will do their part. In other countries where their rights have been respected, black men have been and are great in art and arms. Here you cannot keep the back unless you destroy them. They will not stay in the South, when the brotherly kindness and charity and the education of a pure Christianity shall influence and inspire them. Like the pillar of cloud and pillar of fire, these guides will lead them in search of homes and domestic happiness to other parts of this vast country, and, perhaps in the providence of God, to the great continent which was the home of their forefathers, and which needs only a settled Christian government to make it a grand abiding place for the children of men. Already the great nations of the earth, England, Germany, Portugal, Italy, Belgium and France are striving to take possession of Africa. So fair a country, so rich a country, so SIGN OF THE TIMES-JUSTICE TO INDUSTRY great a country is better for the black man than the white man. But the prejudiced white man and the clerical pessimist will say and assert and they do say and assert that the blacks are poverty stricken wretches covered with moral leprosy. They may be poor, poor as the tramps who wander from door to door; they may be moral lepers; but the parable teaches that it was Lazarus, the beggar, who in the abode of the blessed, reclined upon Abraham's bosom; and Scripture tells us that the purifying, cleansing touch of Christ was for the loathsome and diseased, the abhorred and oustead, and not for the healthy and strong; that his words of comfort were not for the righteous, but for the guilty sinner. A world-renowned writer, through whose veins coursed the hated African blood, and whose dark face, had he lived in our republic, would have doomed him, at least in public opinion, to the position of a menial, although he was the peer of the greatest English dramatists and romancers, makes Pelisson say to Louis XIV: "The hand of your Majesty strikes like the hand of God. When the Lord sends the curse of leprosy or pestilence into a-family, everyone flies, plague-striken. Sometimes, but very rarely, a generous physician alone ventures to approach the accursed threshold, passes it with courage and exposes his life to combat death." The church is the fearless physician of the Almighty, prescribing and administering the medicine of the Son of God to the moral leaper. Her hand heals like the touch of Jesus. Her voice soothes and inspires like His voice. Let her put out her hand—let her use her voice now when unchristian prejudice assails and when political knavery deceives the colored race. The church of Christ should be their outspoken and fearless savior and protector. Just as our great leader stood in the synagogue at Nazareth, championing the cause of the poor, the broken-hearted and the captive, in the face of a soowling, wrathful and murderous mob, so should the Christian Church stand before Americans in defense of the principle that "there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, barbarian, Soythian, bond nor free; but Christ is all in all." And if any man, who professes and calls himself a Christian, believes that the white race should rule and regulate the black race in temporal and spiritual matters, let him shut himself in his closet, take up his New Testament and read and study the vision of St. Peter and if he really is a Christian the divine power will compel him to confess, as St. Peter did to Cornelius in the presence of his kinsmen and friends, that "God hath shewed me that I should not call any man common or uncle." BARBER SAILS WITH HAIR OF EDWARD VII. He Cut It Off Years Ago, and Hopes the King Will Appreciate It. Louis Butler, an aged Negro, who for many years was a barber on steamboats on Chesapeake Bay and the Potomac river, sailed for England on the St. Louis. He carried with him a package of the hair of King Edward. He hopes to get an audience with the king.

Your phone number and address plainly to was in this country, he came to Washington by the boat on which Butler was the barber. An hour or two before reaching Washington, when strolling about the boat, the then Prince noticed the barber shop. He saw that it was clean, neat and that the barber was an intelligent Negro. He thought he would have his hair trimmed and stepped into the barber-shop, and after a short talk with the barber had a hair cut and a shampoo. After his hair had been cut Butler, the barber, carefully took all the hair from the floor and from the apron and placed it in a large envelope. The king asked him what he did that for. "Well," said Butler, "the hair is my perquisite, and some day you will be King of England and I would like to keep it." The Prince of Wales made no objection, but said: "I'd like to see this hair when I become king and compare it with the hair I then have." Butler has lived since that day in the hope that he would be able to show King Edward his own hair. He has carefully preserved it and has saved all the money he could. A few years ago he grew so old that he could work no longer on the boat and retired. The officials of the steamboat company knew his great ambition, and took steps some time ago to raise a purse for the old man to aid him to go to England with the hair. He started this week. He is seventy-five years old, but he says that some way perhaps he can get in to see the king, recall the circumstances and present him with the hair. He has an idea that the king may do something for him.—Special to The World. LOW RATE Excursions to Beautiful CHAUTAQUA and Retur. via BIG FOUR ROUTE with one month return limit.

Y., is now employed as stenographer and typewriter in the office of Prof. Booker T. Washington, principal of the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute. Miss Sprague is a graduate of the Rochester Free Academy and studied shorthand with Miss M. J. Ballentyne. She was a number of years a stenographer in the law office of Stuart & Sutherland. The many friends of Miss Sprague in this city will be glad to know she is meeting with such success at Tuskegee. Miss Lena M. Blakey, one of the most widely known colored girls of Clarksville, Tenn., bears the unique distinction of being the only one of her sex in the volunteer state who has won honors at various seminaries in the South. She is a captivating and intellectual young woman of the blonde type. She is acknowledged to be the most beautiful young lady of that city. Miss Blakey is an expert stenographer and journalist. These, coupled with the fact of her distinction, has made her the most talked about colored girl in the South. 000 Aunt Minerva Skates, who resides at Clarksville, Tenn., is said to be the oldest Negro midwife in the country.

The Afro-Americans of Chicago will hold an exposition, which they call the Middle States and Mississippi States Exposition, beginning August 14 next. The city of Chicago and state of Illinois have endorsed the movement and given it material assistance. The managers have been fortunate in securing the loan of the Afro-American exhibit of the recent Charleston exposition. The proceeds of the Chicago exposition will be devoted to the endowment fund of the Colored Old Folks' Home. Mr. J.W. Camp is president of the undertaking. the ordinations at the cathedral which took place the 21st in Baltimore, Md., will have an added interest from the fact that the second colored man ever ordained to the cathedral priesthood in this country received holy orders at the hands of Cardinal Gibbons. The colored candidate was Rev J. Harry Dorsey, a student of St. Joseph's Seminary. He was raised to the deaconate last fall by Bishop Alfred A. Curtis. The first colored man ordained in this country was the Rev. C. R. Uncles in the cathedral, Dec. 13, 1891. Father Uncles, who is a member of the Josephite Order, is now stationed in Delaware. Another colored priest, Father Totton, who died a few years ago in Chicago from the effects of the heat, was ordained abroad. The Rev. J. Harry Dorsey was born in this city twenty-eight years ago and was educated at St. Paul, Minn., under Archbishop John Ireland. Father Dorsey will labor among his own people. A meeting of the Republican Central Committee of Arkansas, was called for the 24th in the city of Little Rock. 000 Mr. William B. Edwards, one of the best known Afro-American citizens of Hartford, Conn., was forced to sell his home to the school authorities at a figure below its actual value, and has since been unable to purchase or rent a desirable home "on account of color." It is remarkable to find that such a condition of affairs exists in Hartford. GREATEST MEETING OF THE RACE NOTHING LIKE IT EVER BEFORE ATTEMPTED. Foaty Denominations and Agencies Backing the Movement-Many Special Trains of DelegatesComing to Atlanta People Everywhere Enthusiastic. The attendance upon the Negro Young People's Christian and Educational Congress, to be held in Atlanta, Ga, August 6-11, 1902, will be the greatest occasion the race has ever seen and the largest convention ever assembled south of the Mason and Dixon line, except the Christian Endeavor Convention at Nashville. Special trains of delegates will be operated from Texas, Tennessee, Missouri, Washington, D.C, Alabama, South Carolina, and other points in the United States. The large cities of Augusta, Macon, Columbus, Savannah, Rome, Albany, Newman and other towns in the State of Georgia will operate special trains to the meeting to convey the delegates, teachers and christian workers who will attend. These will not be excursion trains, but will be special worked up parties of christian workers, who will represent the christian people of the cities from which they come, and in every case will be the best people in these cities. For the special accommodation of these visitors who will pay the one fare rate, the railroad companies will furnish their finest equipment. The trains will be decorated, showing the States and cities from which the delegates hall. 000 It should be understood that the Negro Young People's Christian and Educational Congress is a mass convention of christian workers. We are asking that each church, Sunday-school, Young People's Society, Y. M. C. A. institutions of learning, etc., elect delegates. But this is not to be understood as debarring any christian worker from attending who may choose to pay his own fare to join in this great effort to impress the nation with our firm reliance upon God and the necessity for using all means to reach the unreached of our people, especially the young people of the race. All christian workers will find welcome in the convention, and every effort will be made to give them pleasant accommodations and agreeable entertainment. It is an agreeable fact that the school teachers are coming in large numbers. Richmond, Va., Indianapolis, Washington, Nashville, Chattanooga, New Orleans, Spartenburg, Savannah, Augusta, Charleston, Lynchburg and other points, too numerous to mention, will send special delegations of teachers. Many of the leading teachers throughout the land think this good time to organize a national colored teachers association. There are at present fifteen field secretaries traveling throughout the United States, together with two thousand commissioners and agents, appointed to represent each community in the interest of the congress and to see that the very best workers are solicited to attend. These field secretaries and commissioners report that never before have our people manifested such large interest in a movement. Everybody feels that the moral effect of ten thousand christian Negroes assembled together for the purpose of counselling on the future of the race will be the very best upon the nation. CORRESPONDENCE SOLICITED. — All who are expecting to attend will do us the favor to correspond with us at once so that we may give them correct information concerning the railroad rates, etc. We now ask that all who are coming will at once consult with their local railroad ticket agent at the point where they live, and if the agent can not give proper information, please notify us at once. We are expecting to assign as many delegates and visitors as possible before they reach the city. Correspondence is therefore solicited. —000— On to Atlanta! On to Atlanta!! I. GARLAND PENN, J. W. E.
