NEGRO'S ADVENT NOT VOLUNTARY The White Man's Sense of Justice has Been and Sill is the Chief Force Influencing Laws and Customs Favorable to Colored People. EDITOR FREEMAN:—If there ever was a time when the colored citizen should take a decided and aggressive part in helping to settle the many questions that arise from the impact of the white and colored citizens of our country, this is the hour. This is the white man's country, not only by right of discovery and conquest, but by every other recognized claim. He founded the nation and has instituted and developed the government. The Chinaman is excluded from the privilege of citizenship and to an extent is denied even the privilege of residence. That the same course is not pursued toward the Negro is due to the fact that his advent was not voluntary. While the granting of citizenship to the Negro and his descendants is strictly in accord with justice, the fact is that the acceptance of the condition that results puts the noblest qualities of the white man to the severest test. Thus far no state, city or community where the conditions have been strained have been able to live up to either the letter or the spirit of the law. In all such communities there are many individuals who are at heart just, but they cannot prevent outbreaks upon the part of others. Governors, judges and sheriffs have found themselves powerless to control the "mobs" which have been arrayed by "actual feelings" against a more or less abstract principle. If the time ever comes when the white man of this country accepts the black man as a fellow citizen on terms of equality, it will be a triumph of justice over race prejudice such as the history of man has never before furnished. While it is true that the white man's sense of justice has been and still is the chief force influencing laws and customs favorable to colored citizens, yet it must also be remembered that apart from the mere desire to deal justly, the white man is bound to be influenced by considerations of his own welfare and of the welfare of the country in dealing with the colored citizen. In the end he must accept the black man as a fellow citizen and accord him equal rights and protect him in the enjoyment of the same. There cannot be two grades of citizenship in this republic. The Negroes can neither be segregated nor deported. They are here as citizens and must be dealt with as such. If it were possible to deal with the Negro in any other way than as a citizen, the question would be settled in short order. That class of white men who are swayed by prejudices and sentiment rather than by the dictates of sober judgment and the sense of justice, have been and are doing all things possible to fix the status of the colored citizen, but that class cannot prevail. They have in the past and at the present time still are subjecting the Negro to many hardships; they may continue to do so for many years, but the end will come. The colored citizen has it in his power to shorten the period of his oppression and suffering and to hasten the day of his prosperity. He will, however, be unable to make any great progress toward this until he becomes able to calmly recognize the plain facts and to be guided by sober judgment. The three chief lines along which progress should be made are those that will secure for the race greater economic efficiency, more social and political modesty and increased moral and intellectual soundness and strength.

FARM AND HOME RIPANS Ripans Tabules hold their place as the supreme remedy which cures dyspepsia, indigestion, stomach, liver and bowel troubles, sick headache and constipation. No other single remedy has yet been found since the twilight of medical history which is capable of doing so much good to so large a majority of mankind The five-cent packet is enough for an ordinary occasion. The family bottle, sixty cents, contains a supply for a year. The Product of Corn. The grain of corn affords equally wonderful possibilities. There are thirty odd products made from it, as follows: Six kinds of mixing glucose, used by refiners of table syrups, brewers, leather manufacturers, jelly makers, fruit preservers and apothecaries; four kinds of crystal glucose, used by manufacturing confectioners; two kinds of grape sugar used by brewers principally, and tanners: anhydrons sugar, used by ale and beer brewers and apothecaries; pearl starch used by cotton and paper mills; powdered starch, used by baking powder manufacturers, cotton and paper mills; refined grits, used by brewers instead of brewers' grits; flourine, used by flour mixers without detriment; four kinds of dextrine used by fine fabric, paper box, mucilage and glue manufacturers, apothecaries and many others requiring a strong adhesive agent; corn oil, used by table oil mixers, lubricating oil mixers, manufacturers of shade cloth, paint and similar industries where vegetable oils are employed; corn oilcake, used in gluten feed, chop feed and gluten meal for cattle feeding purpose; rubber substitute used in the place of crude rubber, and extensively used; corn germ, from which oil and cake are obtained; British gum, a starch which makes a very adhesive medium, used by textile manufacturers who require a very strong adhesive medium that contains no trace of acid; granulated gum that competes with gum arable and is used successfully in its place; distilled spirits, used in the manufacture of smokeless powder; fusil oil, used in the manufacture of bourbon whiskey; alcohol for commercial uses in the manafacture of cologne, spirits and high wines; corn meal for food purposes; corn down, the brown husk or outer coating next the cob, used in the manufacture of mattresses. Chance for Eastern Farmers. The high price of cattle is leading many of our New England farmers to raise their calves and to use more steers and oxen on the farm; and, in fact to be in line to have more cattle to sell year by year. This is a healthy sign for New England agriculture, as nothing seems to be such clear gain as turning off a pair or two of fat cattle every year. Cattle raising has been too much neglected in the New England States during the past twenty years, and it is a pleasure to note that on many farms cattle husbandry is again coming to the front. No better beef in in the world is raised than that which is pastured on THE FREEMAN: AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER. New England hillsides, even if it is topped off with Western corn, though we believe that cattle husbandry will lead to large areas of corn fodder and corn to be harvested in the grain. Nothing seems to improve the farm faster than increased attention to the producing of beef and raising the necessary fodder crops and grain crops. How English Poultry is Fattened. How English Poultry is Fattened. It is very interesting to receive sld by side with this book a forcible protest from Heathfield, in Sussex, against the barbarous practice of cramming chickens for market. I have discussed the matter in truth before now, and I confess I am surprised that the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals has never taken it up. Mrs. Montagne Fowler illustrates her book with pictures of the instruments of torture in use in Brindisi when she first went to work there, but I do not know that her picture contains anything much more horrible than one which may sometimes be seen in the advertising columns of journals devoted to agricultural matters—the illustration of the machine by means of which, working a pedal with his foot, the poultry grower forces food down the throat of a wretched fowl. My Heathfield correspondent asserts that the crops of chickens are frequently ruptured by this process. Probably the pumper in his own interest, endeavors to stop short of that result as a general rule, but at the best the process must be one of torture. Even those who do not consider the matter in this light may perhaps be moved by another consideration. It seems to me to stand to reason that the flesh produced on a chicken by such unnatural means cannot possibly be healthy. It is much esteemed, I know in the London market but it differs essentially from the flesh of a bird nourished by normal means, and it must be more or less diseased flesh. Such meat can hardly be wholesome. It may possibly be tasty to a jaded palate, but in that case, the palate which enjoys it is more or less diseased, too. Clean, Cold Milk A New York dairy, a New Jersey dairy and an Illinois dairy each sent milk to the World's Exposition at Paris in 1900 which was sweet 15 to 21 days after it was drawn from the cow. How are these things possible? By extreme care in excluding dirt of every kind with its load of bacteria then keeping the milk so cold that the bacteria which do get in spite of the care cannot grow rudely. Milk sours because in the process of growth and multiplication of the bacteria the milk sugar is changed to lactic acid. When there is enough acid to be apparent to the taste the milk is said to be sour. Bacteria like corn or any higher form of plants require food, moisture and sufficient heat in order to grow and multiply. Milk has the necessary moisture, is a perfect food and is usually at the right temperature for the rapid growth of bacteria. Since the keeping quality of milk bears a direct relation to the bacteria which gain access it is important to prevent their getting into the milk. The udder and adjacent parts of the body which are much shaken during the milking is one of the chief sources of infection, while the dust of the stable, the hands and clothes of the milkker, together with pails and cans used are only slightly less important sources. Experiments show that:—Milking in a stable where the circulation of air can carry the dust out, wiping the udder with a damp cloth and scalding utensils with live steam or boiling water, will not only reduce the bacterial content of the milk but increases the keeping capacity of the milk materially. A covered milk pail with only a small opening to milk into, reduced the number of germs falling into the pail one-fourth as compared with a common pail, and the milk kept sweet twenty hours longer. Immediate cooling after milking is next in importance. Milk allowed to stand two hours without cooling contained 23 times as many germs as when the milking was finished, while that which was cooled to 54 degrees only had four times as many at the end of two hours. This emphasizes the importance of quick and thorough cooling. Milk when first drawn has a peculiar flavor, or "covey taste" more or less noticeable, which if not driven off by aeration (exposure to the air) frequently gives the milk an unpleasant taste even before it becomes sour. Aeration may be accomplished by stirring or by pouring from one vessel to another. The can of milk may be set into a tub of water to cool. The cooling and aeration may be better and quicker accomplished by running the milk over a combined cooler and aerator, such as the Star, Champion, Perfection or other similar aparatus having provision for running cold water through it. Finally, cleaner cows, cleaner milkers, scaled utensils, quick and thorough aeration less exposure to dust of the street when delivering, will increase keeping quality of market milk. If properly done one delivery a day will be all that is necessary. H. E VAN NORMAN, Dairyman FARM NOTES. Lima beans demand considerable pot ash and lime. Wood ashes are consequently beneficial to them, but if ashes are unobtainable the potash salts will be found excellent. A light application of nitrate of soda will give the young plants a good start. The greater part of the nutriment of the clover plant is found in the leaves. When this hay is cured in the ordinary way, the leaves become dry and brittle and are lost upon the field. Clover should be cut when dry, and be soon bunched up and cured in the cocks. Turn the hay over the second day and put it in larger cocks. The fall is the time to clean the well. Because water is clear is no reason to supposing it to be absolutely free from impurities. All surface water should drain away from the well and it should be protected against toads and insects. Anything that will dissolve in water will go wherever the water goes. The filter removes only the suspended matter. To prepare for turnips the land should be plowed deep. Some may suppose that the turnip will grow under any conditions, even when the soil is plowed but a few inches but the fact is that the turnip sends its roots deep into the ground and is a gross feeder. When turnips are plowed under they return a large amount of fertilizing material to the surface soil that is secured lower down than the plow reaches. Instead of the usual cover crops some farmers prefer to have the land cultivated in the summer, thus killing weeds and permitting moisture and air to enter the soil, the stirring of the soil protecting the roots of trees. Late in the summer, about August or after danger of draught is over, clover is seeded and left until spring, the scarlet or crimson clover being preferred. If the land is left in sod as a cover crop it is claimed that the demands of the grass crop for moisture and plant food in summer injures the trees. A poultry journal says: "Its a good plan to sell eggs for hatching? A number of fanciers have decided that it is not. They have two main reasons for this: First they dislike the 'kicks' that are sure to develop in this line of trade; second (and of more importance), many of them do not like to sell for the price of a sitting of eggs, thirteen chances of securing the best bird produced from their yards during a given season. The buyer of eggs also asks, 'Will it pay?' If he has 'good luck,' his vote will be in the affirmative; if not, he will join the ranks of kickers or will hum to himself that old familiar air, 'Meekly wait and murmer not,' and the next season will try again." Attacked by Hoodlums. Buffalo, N. Y., Special.—While returning home from the Central depot about 1 a. m., June 14th, William P. Rhodes, proprietor of the hotel, No. 55 William street, in company with his bartender, Wm. Dorsey, and his house-keeper, coming up Michigan street near the corner of Eagle, they were insulted and set upon by a gang of white hoodlums, Mr. Rhodes being badly beaten. After a few minutes an officer appeared on the scene and had Rhodes sent to the Emergency hospital, then arrested the other two, his companions, and Judge Rockaford fined them both $5 00 apiece next morning. The white brutes even escaped arrest. There was a meeting held in Mr. Rhodes' parlor on the evening of the 21st and a number of colored citizens formed resolutions to denounce such justice and further the unity of the better class of colored and white citizens of Buffalo. While Rev. Giles was holding services in the Vine Street A. M. E. church, Sunday, June 22d, J. W. Peterson was holding a Methodist meeting in the lodge room of the Afro-American Investment Company. Mr. Peterson's flock is a split from the Vine Street A. M. E. church caused by the removal of Rev. Dr. Johnson, who is now in Elmira, N. Y. Six of the trustees have sent in their resignations. Rev. Giles and Elder Ayley preferred charges against Dr. Johnson for not handing in report to his successor and non-payment of a debt of $10 00. There is no talk of peace as yet between these two factions. Those that attended the dance at Teck Theatre hall on the 19th had a very pleasant time. Personal Items.

BEFORE USING HARTONA OF THE WAITER To the Negro Head and Side Waiters of America. Dear Brethren—For the past eight months the Waiters' Department of The Freeman, the Hotel World and the Hotel Life have been filled with letters touching upon the rise and fall of the Negro waiter, the many causes why he succeeds as a waiter and the various reasons why he fails as such. It has been asserted by some that as an American waiter we cannot be excelled for politeness, relative memory, swiftness, etc. For the acknowledgement of the above let us be truly grateful, but it has been heralded abroad by some of our own leaders that when it comes to the Europe in service we are a complete failure from the fact that we have not the required knowledge for the above service. Some appear to believe that with six months' training the Negro waiter should come forth a full bloom rose of success, but they forget the important fact that the humble farmer, who tills the soil, the brick-mason, who turns the corner of the building, the brawny blacksmith, who pounds upon his anvil until the iron comes to the desired shape; in fact men in every avocation of life had to go through the thrash- P. BUSINESS MEDIUM. MBS. MARTH, the world renowned and highly celebrated business and test MEDIUM reveals everything. No imposition. Can be consulted on all affairs of Life, Business, Love and Marriage a specialty. Every mystery revealed, also of absent, deceased and living friends. Removes all troubles and estrange meats, challenges any Medium who can exceed her in her startling revelation of the past present and future event in one's life. Remember, she will not, for any price, flatter you; you may rest assured you will gain facts without nonsense. She can be consulted on all affairs of Life, Love, Courtship, Marriage, Friends, etc., with description of future companion. She is very accurate in describing missing friends, enemies, etc. Her advice upon sickness, change in business, journeys, jawsuits contested wills, divorce and speculation is valable and reliable. She reads your destiny good or bad; she withholds nothing. MRS. MARTH tells your entire life—past, present and future—in a DEAD TRANSFER, has two mediums you ever meet in tests she sheds, and prefers marriage, the names of all your family, their ages and description, the name and business of your future husband, the name of your next, if your next, young man who now calls on you, the name of your future husband, and the day, month and year of your marriage—how many children you have and your marriage—how many children you will have; whether your present sweetheart will trust to you and if he will marry you; if your sweetheart, she will tell you when you will have; whether your present sweetheart will acquaintance. ALL YOUR FUTURE will be told in an honest, clear, plain manner and in a manner that others should know the success of their husbands and should know everything about their sweet hearts or intended husbands. Do not keep a marry or go into business until you know that only religious serpents prevent your consulting. Names of the only one in the world who can tell you the name of your future husband, with age and date of birth, whether you the one you love is true or false. There are some persons who believe that there is no truth to be gained from consulting a therapist, but such beliefs are contrary to the truth. It is important that such a conclusion can be reached. It is important that anyone who pleases himself or herself as a therapist that can stand a chance or be a she-caller may ask for an inquiry. A mind may ask the reason why. It is simple that advisers do not take the trouble to study the facts of their thoughts for a moment with acquiring the knowledge of phenology and kindred branches that are a tendency to make the pathway to the road of the business clear and devoid of obstacles. It is an undeniable fact that persons will come for advice—in full knowledge of what they want to know, and yet as soon as they confide to a Medium they try their utmost endeavor to dispel from their minds what they know so as that they will be rehearsed by the Medium. To get the secret out of a person by pumping it in no few cases, is the art used by many unprincipaled Mediums, but to take hold of the hand and gain control of the mind there is no letter of impossibility to most of them and yet the can be done, and by consulting Mrs. MARTH this seeming mystery becomes a realization. This subject has received no little attention by eminent men and even college professors. So it proves conclusively that although there are the intrigers in our midst with "oily tongues," perhaps the gates of wisdom have not been closed to the new profession. It takes a great amount of time to become an accomplished Medium, and by a continuous and untiring effort, the key to the well of apparently unfathomable mystories have been processed by Mrs. MARTH for the benefit of humanity. By letter, advice $1.00. Hour from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. All letters must contain staff for answers. MRS. M. B. MARTH 246 W. 81st St. New York City THE FREEMAN: AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER ing machine of experience before they obtained permanent success. And now, in behalf of the thousands of Negro waiters, I appeal to the proprietors and managers of hotels and restaurants to withstay their judgment of us as European waiters as the service is just being generally adopted, until we shall have gone through the kindergarten of practice, and the subject shall have been entirely stripped of all prejudice and we be granted the same consideration as our white brother, against whom I have not one word of complaint. We talk about Negro waiters losing houses on account of his inability to give satisfaction in service. Now, admitting all of our short comings and mistakes, the plain fact is this: In the larger cities of the West and East where the foreign travel predominates the hotels and restaurants prefer our white brother as waiters from the fact that a large proportion of them speak the different languages, which is a great help to the guest and a financial benefit to the places employing them. Now, to be more specific, take the city of New Orleans, where a large percentage of the native born Negro waiters speak the different languages, you will find only one first class hotel employing Negro waiters. So you see, boys, after all, in many instances, it is simply a matter of choice. My advice is, boys, stop complaining, do the very best we can and we will hold any house the people want us to hold. Another article that I must refer to—Some of us have attempted to inject the color question among ourselves. Now, brethren, that will never do. We must remember that when a proprietor, manager or steward desires to engage a headwaiter it is with them as it is with other people, a matter of choice as well as ability. There are very many houses that prefer the services of a light colored headwaiter at any cost, while there are others that prefer the black man; but, boys, you know that the preponderance is on the other side, and we may agitate the question until the sun of time goes down; all the power of eloquence will never change it. Boys mark what I tell you. Whether we have coursing through our veins one-eighth or whether there flows through them the full amount of Negro blood, we are all placed in the same category and we are all standing on trial before this American people. No time to quarrel about color. I notice also with much regret that some want to complain about white headwaiters being over Negro side waiters. Boys, I keep on telling you we cannot reverse this, for there is an unwritten law that will never admit of it being turned the other way. There are plenty of good men on both sides. And now to my brothers again—Let us stop contending about who is the greatest among us, but let us, as individuals, by our teachings, advice, precepts and by our very lives make the dining rooms over which we are permitted to preside the greatest schools of learning for the Negro waiter, thereby preparing him for the modern service which the 20th century hotel demands. But, in order to be fully prepared, we must educate, economize, build, own something, otherwise there is no use to agitate. And now, boys, you who have strayed away from home, don't forget mother. She is watching for you. Send her a handkerchief sometime. All the other children are at home but you. Father longs to see you. P. H. BUSTER Wigwam Hotel, Indian Springs, Ga. One of the Best of His Kind. Thomas H. Frame, headwaiter at the Knutsford, Salt Lake City, Utah, is one of the best of his kind, and several ideas which he has introduced into the Knutsford dining room have been followed by leading hotels in different parts of the country, which speaks much for his ability and enterprise. Last summer he introduced something new and original by appearing in the dining room in a white shirt waist and light English trousers, and hotel men far and near complimented him on the neat appearance he made. This year his entire crew at breakfast and lunch look decidedly neat and clean in white military uniforms, while Mr. Frame himself wears a light double-breasted flannel suit. At dinner they all appear in the conventional black and are said to be one of the neatest appearing and best trained colored crews in the country.—Omaha Hotel Reporter. A Very Pleasant Event. Rochester, N. Y., Special.—The most important event of the season was given by the Bellman's Social club of this city on June 19th, at the Royal Arcanum hall. The hall was handsomely decorated for the occasion with palms and potted plants. About 9:30 p. m. the young social set began to assemble in full dress (shirt waist) where the sweet strains of Prof. Musse's orchestra could be heard to the delight of the lovers of the fantastic toe. The committee did all in their power to make the shirt waist reception and ball a success. At 12 o'clock sharp the grand march begun, which was led by C. K. Sherman and Miss Eva Smith, of Syracuse, N. Y., and was followed by about forty couple. They then entered the refreshment room and partook of a bounteous feast prepared. The out-of-town guests in attendance were Miss Ida Scott and Mrs. J. Keys, of Syracuse; Frank Price, of Hampton, Va.; Miss G. Frank, of Geneva, N. Y. James Robinson, of Hampton schools, is in the city. S. Keys, sargeant-at-arms at the shirt waist entertainment, met with a serious accident on that evening. The Freeman is for sale every Saturday at Epps' barber shop, 139 Main street. The Lone Star State Has Great Time. Houston, Texas, Special.—This city had its social whirl last week, and many young and old enjoyed themselves side by side. The Seymour Division, Bluitt's Rifles and the Dallas Express Zouave Company put up a crack exhibition drill Emancipation day at the Fair grounds, and they distinguished themselves as veteran tacticians on parade. No Freeman on "hot air." Five cents per copy, delivered at your door. The cash in hand and the news is yours. We note with interest that a large number of K. of P.'s are determined to organize a company and drill team by selecting from the five lodges. Captain A. A. Hudson, Capt. H. J. Jackson and Griffin are the promoters and ask the support of all K. P's. Mothers, stop your children from idling among loafers who set around places of repute; they catch onto too many sayings that will put them on the chain gang when they should be at school or at home working. Get The Freeman at 105 Central avenue, between Main and Elm streets; five cents. Miss Irene James entertained Wednesday evening, the 18th, from 8 to 12 o'clock in honor of Mrs. A. E. Overton and Miss O. M. Douglas, who left Friday for Sedalia, St. Louis and Kansas City, Mo. Mr. Joddia Elliott, a veteran waiter, and Miss Lulu Plokard were married at the home of the bride's parents on Sunday evening, June 22. They were the happy recipients of many costly presents. "Say, Freeman man, let me have a Freeman," was all you could hear at the Oriental hotel on Monday among the waiters, bell boys and Wall street readers. The citizens generally observed Emancipation day in one of those old-time ways, meeting and shaking hands and eating together; but the new woman and fly dudes drink, get full and start a jamboree and have to work their fines out together. We are glad that there was very little of that in Dallas on the 19th. Sheriff Johnson and the committee looked after the peaceable side of the proposition and were on the grounds for peace and order. Ben Duncan, the man of minstrel fame, is here with the goods, and sends greetings to all in and out of the profession. Many Dallasites send greetings to Pitman and Jordan, with the New Orleans Minstrel, and S. H. Dudley and wife. There are many Dallasites that would like to know if it is true The Freeman is to have a permanent home in Dallas? The answer comes from its Dallas general headquarters, 105. Central avenue, between Main and Elm streets: Yes, as long as the people will pay for the support of it with the long green; you will find it at your homes and business places. Tell your friends so they can come into The Freeman band of readers. You will be behind if you don't read The Freeman and the general news of the country in each issue. Hon. H. C. Bell of Denton, Texas, grandmaster of the Odd Fellows of Texas, is paying the various lodges of that order his annual visit. Jim Roberts, the prince of headwaiters, says always bring me The Freeman.

E.C. KNOX, Manager, The FREEMAN. BISHOP ALEXANDER WALTERS The lecture of Bishop Walters in this city, June 22d, was heard by a large and appreciative audience. After reviewing the slavery period from the advent of slavery in 1620 until the utterance of the immortal proclamation, the bishop then entered into his subject proper—the Emancipation. He spoke of that order of individuals, Wm. Lloyd Garrison, Wendell Phillips, Harriet Beecher Stowe, Lovejoy and others who were the forerunners of that other revolution wherein were emancipated more millions than were relieved in the struggle with England. He thought that the age was ripe for the newer Johns the Baptist with spirits like unto that of John Brown, those who are willing to sacrifice personal happiness and convenience on the altar of the race. Those before the war contended against slavery until it fell. "Was it right then to oppress members of the human family? Was it wrong?" asked the bishop, who insisted that, if it was wrong then, it is now wrong, and that men should speak out regardless of the consequences. He insisted that all bickering cease within the race; sacrifice petty contentions for the common weal. The speaker, at this point, recalled the Harper's Ferry incident and the causes leading up to it. He spoke of that gigantic struggle between the sections; for and against extending slavery territory, and of those memorable bills, among which was the Missouri Compromise, and of those decisions of the courts, among which was the Dred Scott case, and also of the Fugitive Slave law. These led up to the birth of the Republican party, the anti-slavery party with its matchless Lincoln, the great defender of the faith. The conscience of the people was likewise aroused and slavery saw the handwriting on the wall. The bishop reviewed the period of progress and prosperity subsequent to the great war period. He felt that in the face of the highest civilization on earth, and in view of the progress of the race in every direction, that the 'jim crow' car laws were travesties and disfranchisements no more than persecution "I am going to be plain." says he, 'about what is best for the black man; a heart to heart talk. I will speak out for what is best. I observe that the laws are growing more stringent and lines tighter. There are many places in the North forbidding the colored man's entrance. Southern ideas are making their way northward. The Council of Boston this year departs from its annual custom of making an appropriation for the colored people of that city to celebrate in honor of the part the colored man played in saving the Union. The Negro has become a rapist in order to destroy confidence in him. Every newspaper, every pulpit, ought to do what can be done to insure the colored man his rights." The bishop said that the white man has put a low estimation on the Negro because he puts a low estimation on himself, but the time has come for a change. All of our known agencies must be drafted into service—the school room, the church, the forum. The bishop caused some little commotion when he insisted that some must counsel the division of the Negro vote—to defeat some Republicans; it would do us good "Change conditions. If things are getting better continue, but if they are getting worse, change policy. Make friends when you can do so without sacrificing your principles." "I am of the opinion," says the speaker, "that Danoy, Price and others of the old North Carolina State could not have believed that that State could have acted as it has in the recent past. But what has that state done? Ask my friend Henderson of Indianapolis and others, they can tell you." "Our educational opportunities are threatened," the bishop thought, "and, therefore, the churches should see to it that they gave the best schools possible. I am one with Mr. Washington in his industrialism. We need skilled hands to compete in the great struggle for existence; they go with higher education." He does not think that contending for right will create arrogance and impudence as has been asserted. There are those who will do the wrong things but those are not to outbalance the race besides. "I believe in agitation," says the bishop, "no cause is advanced without it. Shall we organize? So doing may excite the white man's opposition, but to refuse will be the sign of weakness, which in the end will be as disastrous. Labor organizes against capital that it holds its own, and 'tis well that it does so or else the American white working man would be but a trifle better off than the colored man." The bishop related a conversation with President Roosevelt, who said that they, meaning the general government, took care of the Negroes when they were unable to take care of themselves, but it was now time for them to take care of themselves. He urged the ministers to take more interest in the welfare of the people Go out after them in, preach to them. The church can do much more than it is doing. "Do less boasting" says the bishop, "but more solid work. Do not be discouraged. The whites have had three thousand years while you have had but forty. You have much to hope for. Let us learn to labor and to wait." J. T. V. Hill, attorney, addressed the Y. M. C. A. last Sunday afternoon in their rooms, 3164 Indiana avenue. He spoke of the excellency of the Jewish character which he considered well worthy of emulation on the part of the colored people. They were noted for morality in general, and in consequence gave but little trouble to the communities wherein they resided. He thought their strong racial adhesiveness had much to do with their conspicuous qualities. Mr. Hill called attention to the tendency on the part of the colored youth to depart from the teachings of the parents. On the question of morality he felt that the race was not totally to blame for it was part of its former culture, to go out and multiply and the more multiplication the better the "nigger." It was the creed of slavery days; fearful legacy, the results of lessons taught by precept and example. He thinks that there is reason for congratulation, knowing what the race underwent. He admonished those present to see that their sons and daughters got the best education possible since much depended on it. He would not hear to it that parents could not govern their children. He suggested the generous use of the rod. He, like many others, thought that the future viewed by the present was quite gloomy, but that much of the trouble lay at the door of the race, and that it was up to the race to see to it they carried out fully their part of the contract toward citizenship. The South is menacing us with its restriction; we must be prepared for the day. Mr. Hill's talk was very generously applauded, proving that he was not alone in his characterization of the race and his summary of the racial situation. Governor Aycock of North Carolina has offered a reward of $400 each for seventy-five men that participated in a riot in that State June 11. It is not very likely that this liberal offer of $30,000 will avail anything in the way of arrests and convictions, but it is in the right direction, and it will doubtless be considered as by the colored people and all right thinking people. The offering of rewards is not a new thing on the part of Southern governors. Time and time again rewards have been offered by the more courageous ones, but always with the same result. It simply goes to show that sentiment is often much stronger than laws. If the reward had been offered for "plain" murderers whose apprehension could have no bearing on the race question the governor's money would not go a begging as it does to day. The sentiment for the division of the Negro vote was applauded by many at Blackford Street church at Bishop Walter's lecture. The colored people of Indiana and of all the States are entitled to the protection of the laws of those States. They have also a right to be governed by the conventionalities of communities, and further yet, by the domestant sentiment. It does not take very long to ascertain what those are. —The Indianapolis Freeman. It depends entirely upon what "the conventionalities of the communities" are, my moralizing friend. If the "conventionalities" be to lynch and burn colored people, it is very likely they will not care to be governed by them. Men in a civilized community are duty bound to abide by its laws, and at the same time have the protection of its laws. This, however, applies alike to all the people, regardless of race or color. —The Boston Guardian. "It does not take long to ascertain what those are." We said it first; we say it last. Our friend from the East feigns ignorance on the question, but let it go at that. 'Tis his way, his method, only. The conventionalities are the unwritten laws of communities, an agreement on the part of the people to observe certain customs and usages that they deem for the general good of the communities as it concerns manners, decorum, the proprieties and such like. The conventionalities are likely to be the same in all civilized communities as to the end in view at any rate. It cannot be seen where they have to do with lynching, burning or other disorders. It may be seen, however, how the disorders may grow out of the breach of the conventionalities. But that is not the contention. The disorders are the result of the "dominant sentiment" which is a different thing in that it is stronger, subject to influences, the result of passion, high feeling or some new condition. It may be in opposition to mixed marriages which has nothing to do with the customs on the streets, deportment, cleanliness, etc. The American Baptist of Louisville, Ky., thinks that some are little premature in the contention for place on the proposed commission, the result of the proposed Irwin bill. It is right; the thing to do is to contend for the passage of the bill, if that be the sense of the people. That paper thinks that there will be much objection to be overcome before the bill is enacted into a law, but it cannot be seen why there should be any serious objection to a measure that promises so much in allaying racial friction. The direct good may not amount to much, but it will be salutary, wholesome and reassuring to the colored people who are beginning to think that they are suffering from cold neglect. The likenesses of Y. M. C. A. buildings, groups and individuals will be seen elsewhere in this issue. We are pleased to present them to the general public since they are indicative of the great work being done in that direction. Messrs. Hunter and Moreland are indefatigable in their labor for the young men. They are the international secretaries. We take pleasure in calling attention to the Grand United Order of True Reformers of which may be learned from elsewhere in this issue. This organization is perhaps the strongest financial concern in America manned by colored men. It has lodges in nearly every State in the Union. It has never failed in its obligations to its members. It is a friend to the colored man. The National Negro Business League will hold its next annual meeting at Richmond, Va., August 25, 26, 27, 1902. The meetings are growing in importance and should be encouraged by a generous patronage from all parts of the country. News has reached Bishop H. M. Turner that he is a great-grand-father. The good bishop has had nearly all of the experiences to which human nature is heir. In spite of a multiplicity of other duties he has found time to rejoice a little. Wm. M. Lewis of this city will appear in a lecture on Abraham Lincoln at Wayman Chapel, July 18th. He will be assisted by Prof. A. M Damon, the great violinist, Dr. S Furnise, Gurley Brewer and James M.

Thompson received deserved praise for his excellent management. The Emancipation of the colored people of the West Indies and of the United States will be celebrated at Kokomo, Ind, August 1st. It will be known as the Double Emancipation Celebration Strange to say the colored people are talking about dividing their vote and the Democrats refuse to receive them.

Wade, John Flippins and Wm. Crittenden. Later other names will be published of persons who are planning to assist in the work. BETHEL A. M. E. CHURCH NOTES BETHEL A. M. E. CHURCH NOTES. When courtesies are extended visiting ministers they should have intelligence enough to observe the limits of decorum and not abuse the privilege granted them by insinative and reflective remarks upon those in charge. Two things causes such impropriety—a lack of intelligence, or a 'puffed up' sense of importance. The race is already cursed by the multitude of "funny" preachers, who are ever trying to say something "smart." The pastor is now on his rounds for conference collections. He will come in the name of the church as its agent, and his Master whose cause he serves, and as such you will not turn him away with empty and vain words. Greet him like a Christian. The money realized from the picnic will be given to conference collections and not to the pastor. There are some worshipers that rainy weather does not keep away from church. These are "the armor bearers." The Lord's Supper will be administered next Sunday at 10:45 a.m. service. Those who love God if possible, are sure to be there. All persons are invited, regardless of denomination, to our mass meeting next Sunday at 3 p.m., to send delegates to the Negro Young People's Christian Congress, Atlanta, Ga., August 611 A big, musle living crowd will greet Prof Damon on the night of the 10th inst. There are many of our churches, generally speaking, that are in need of a cleaning out, so as to get out of "od ruts" A few clear-cut expulsions and a number of first class funerals would do the work—the pastor and a committee of earnest-hearted members could accomplish the first, and the Lord is sure to attend to the latter. Rev. R. D. Brister, S. D., of Washington, D. C., preaches for us Sunday night. Mr. Engene Davis was baptized on Tuesday by the pastor at his home in E. Washington street. JONES TABERNACLE NOTES: The visit of Bishop A Walters, A. M. D. D., was highly appreciated by all, especially by the young men. The Blue Ribbons beat, but the White Ribbons will beat next time.

B Curry, president of Urbana College, Ohio, will be there. Mrs. Washington will lecture Monday evening, June 7th at Jones' Tabernacle. Come. Bishop A Walter's lecture was a grand success. The luncheon served by the famous caterers, Madam Bell Davis superintendent, and the solos rendered by Madam Lucretia Knox and. Prof. Evans of the Y M C. A. were excellent and appreciated by all. ```markdown ``` Headache kills, not necessarily suddenly, but SURELY. It preys upon the intellectual powers more than we realize. It consumes the vitality faster than nature can replenish it, and we cannot tell just what moment a temporary or complete aberration of the mind will result. Headache and pain should be promptly removed—but properly. Many pain cures are more harmful than the pain. Beware. If you would be safe, take Dr. Miles' Pain Pills. "As a result of neuralgia I lost the sight of my right eye, and the pain I have suffered is incomprehensible, being obliged to take opiates almost continually. A friend gave me one of Dr. Miles Pain and it promptly relieved me. I then purchased hose and now my trouble is gone. They have also cured my daughter of nervous headache, and I heartily recommend them to others."—W. J. CORLEY, Bremond, Texas. Sold by Druggists. 25 Doses, 250 Dr. Miles Medical Co., Jr.康尔, Ind.

The following is an excerpt from a clipping in the Seattle Daily Times:—The People's Theatre opened with its new bill which proved to be an exceptionally strong one. Woods and Moss were the hit of the show. Miss Laura Moss is a singer whose equal has seldom been heard in this city and woods is a whole show in himself, in his quaint comedy. Regards to all. --- Notes of Mahara's Minstrels: Mahara Bros. will put out two companies the coming season; one that will be known as the western and the other as the Northern company. They have engaged some first class people for both shows so far and as their 'ad' appears in this issue, they have still openings for some good people. People are already engaged as follows: W. C. Handy, Bert Deleo, Jr, Scott, Bertha Stone, Sloan Edwards, J. R. Johnson, Albert Fredericks, Jim Harris, Joe Pleasants, D. C. Scott, Harry Haskins and several others. First class people can always find steady and profitable employment with the Mahara Bros. Tom Logan writes from Tampa, Fla: "Owing to the closing of the Mascotte Theatre here, I leave for "Good Old New York Town," this week. Will be found at my headquarters, the Douglass Club, 114 W. 31 street after July 7. My season here has been eminently satisfactory from every point of view and the closing of this house is due to the fact that the present proprietor is going out of business. I have demonstrated my ability as a manager to the extent that I have recieved some flattering offers even before I had severed my connection as manager here, but for business reasons I have decided to go to New York, are accepting or considering them. My interests there demand my presence hence this decision. I have just finished a twenty minute vande-ville sketch for Desdunnes and Harris entitled "A Bar Room Botheration," which they will present next season. I have also written a number of ballads comic and topical songs, which will also be heard next season as I am under agreement to a prominent New York publishing house for my creations for two years. Thanks to managers for so kindly remembering me." Buffalo, N. Y. notes:—Tascot, the white coon, played Shea's week of June 23. Prof. Wm. Baker, pianist, plays Sundays, during luncheon at Statler's Elliott Square restaurant. Johnson & Verona took a rest last week to prepare for their summer park engagements.

Grant a fashionable dressmaker of Lexington, Ky. were quietly married in Chicago, Ill., June 23, at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Tom Kinney, 4723 Armour Ave. Owing to Mr. Bailey's vaudevill dates there were only a few invitations extended, but cards will be out later. They will welcome their many friends at their cozy little flat 3219 Dearborn street after July 10. --- Notes from the Howes Great London Shows: "We are now entering our tenth week of success having traveled through Kansas, Indian Territory, Oklahoma, Missouri, New Mexico, Texas, Colorado playing to the capacity of the canvass daily.

Allen's New Orleans Minstrels:—Business through our last and year before last towns is as good as ever and in some places better. The boys are just getting over their big time in Newport News, Portsmouth and Norfolk, Va. Chas. Golns, one of our ballad singers and leader of our Aome quartette had a pleasant visit from his mother, who met us in Raleigh, N. C., and spent two days with the show. Mr. Goins says, if we play his home the boys shall be made happy. Angusstens Stevens had an operation performed on him at Raleigh, N. C. and will be compelled to remain there a week or so. His doctor and nurse are the best in this section of the country and claim they will send him to the company safe and sound. Joe Jordon, slide trombonist, was matched for a ten round go with an overgrown spider but was hit on the upper lip in the second round and was put out. Jake Spencer says he has something up his sleeve but the boys seem to think he will never spring it. The man in white continues to make his rounds every Sunday. Sank Simms is getting funnier every day. J Fernanda is still an early member at the cars every night. Cat Garland still knows everything and Cox eats more fish than anybody. While in Raleigh, N. C. we met Mr. Rufus Haywood and his orchestra, also Ben Toledo, the juggler. They are resting up. Ben seems not to know just when he shall sign out again. Pattle Roberson sends regards D. Thomas.

So you can see how we are blessed in the way of catching holiday dates. W. A. Dixon sends regards to the clock tickers union, Mr. Dixon is soon to put on a solo from the opera, "Merry War." Our business is as good as usual and the weather is just beautiful. We are yet wearing our overcoats pleasantly. Our baseball team added another victory to its record at Portage La Prairie, the score being 6-5 in our favor. The team sends regards to Thos F. Edwards their former captain and pitcher. We met quite a number of friends with the Campbell Bros.' circus in Crookston, Minn. They have a good show and are seemingly treating the boys finely. Mr Brown a trombone player from St. Louis is with them and is doing well having the barber privilege among 250 people. Mr. Brown speaks well of the company. The circus company visited our show and was highly pleased. The big trio met some very staunch friends among them, especially Mr. Ike Shipley and wife, manager of the side show and privilege department. Mr. Shipley acknowledged the members of the big trio, Cooper, Jones and Jackson and says they have a place any time they want to come back to the white tents They send regards to all friends in and out of the profession. Regards to Oscar Lindsay. --- Notes from P. G. Lowery's Band and Vaudeville: We find the Canadian people very free with their aplauses of appreciation; the weather very pleasant in temperature. We have been visited by several mild rains but no wind storms. Our visit to Montreal was one of much interest to the company as we spent three days in this beautiful city. We will spend three weeks in Canada before reaching the U. S. Henry Rawles and Johnie Jones are learning to speak French. They have decided to dispose of their altos and secure French horns instead.

Seymore Payne better known as "raglan" is still holding his own. --- J.

Bratton's "In a Cosy Corner" seems to be the reigning instrumental success of the day. Hundreds of programs are received daily by the publishers, M. Whittmark & Sons, from the best orchestras and bands in the country with this composition on them. A very clever pair of singers are Reidy & Currier. They have just started on their annual park engagements and are singing, "In the Springtime," "Your Own" and "Dear Old Pipe." A new team in vaudeville and one that should prove a great success, will begin playing this week. Hubert Wilke SHAW'S OPERA HOUSE OPELIKA, ALA.

Mr. Wilkie is singing his own compositions, "A Smugler Am I" and "Darling." Howard Whitney, the composer of that great success, "The Mosquitos" Parade," has just finished a new son entitled: "I Wants a Ping Pong Man," that Stella Mahow, Artie Hall and a great many other "coon shouters are going to use. "Stay in Your Own Back Yard" and "Why Did They Sell Killarney?" seem to be great favorites with song illustrators. Hale & Orloff are using them successfully. Since John Parks introduced Ford & Bratton's ballad, "Your Own," in the "Messenger Boy" there has been a general demand for this song by vocalists who use this style of a ballad. The celebrated contra tenor, Richard Josels delighted with Frank C. French's late composition, entitled "Just for tonight." This is a publication of M. Whitmark & Sons and will be featured by the well known singer during the coming season. PERFORMERS BEWARE. (Answer to Pat Chappelle.) Mr. Pat Chappelle knows every "rabbit" hollow in Florida. The manager of the rabbit "heel" company, headquarters at Buckingham Theatre, Tampa, Fla., is anything but a gentleman and theatrical manager. He is a viper to the profession. I trust all freethinking Northern performers will stick up North. There is no brain or capital behind the organization—it's good old Florida gall. He should go way back, not to sit down but to bury himself. I find, Sylvester Russell in his 'write ups has been very truthful in his remarks towards Chappelle. Read, consider and reflect. Your amusement friend, JOHN W. DENNIS, Domino Theatre, Fernandina, Fla. P. S. I have known Dennis ever since he has been in Fernandina and know him to be a gentleman and a good performer.

The Children's Day exercises at 11 a.m., were of a very interesting character, and reflected much credit upon the superintendent, teachers and scholars. A collection of $10 was taken. Tuesday was our picnic day, and in company with several other churches, the A. M. E. Zion and Barnes Chapel, we went to Bethany Park. Owing to the misbehavior of some who went there last week, whose conduct was of the most disgraceful character, it was currently reported that we would not be permitted to use the grounds, but there was no intimation of any desire on the part of the Park managers to break the contract, and 487 persons were able to spend one day in an enjoyable way.

HALF RATES A splendid beginning has been made by the Young Men's Christian Association among young colored men, and wonderfully well adapted are the methods of this organization to the peculiar needs of these young men. It is only a beginning in view of the large, needy, and inviting field that has been in many instances only imperfectly touched or not touched at all. In 1875 the International Convention of Young Men's Christian Associations met in Richmond, Va. The colored pastors of that city petitioned the convention to consider the needs of the young men of their race. The petition was received and prayer was offered for this new and important field. B In 1877 the convention met in Louisville, Ky., and the question was again considered, and resulted in favor of opening the work in this very needy field, and the Rev. Stewart Robinson, a Southern Presbyterian minister, made the first contribution to the work. In 1879, Mr. Henry E. Brown, an Oberlin'man, a Congregational minister, was chosen as the first international secretary, under the direction of the international committee at New York, to take up this work among the colored Mammoth Cave One of America's greatest wonders is located in Edmonson County, Kentucky, 90 miles south of Louisville. This Company has just issued a very interesting booklet of 32 pages descriptive of the Cave. This booklet is well illustrated with many fine half-tone cuts, is printed on enameled book paper and design on cover is in three colors and very attractive.

Mr. Brown visited the schools and some important cities, creating Bible classes, and interesting and inspiring, in every way he could, the great number of young men throughout the vast Southland. Mr. Brown labored incessantly until 1890, when Mr. W. A. Hunton, the first colored general secretary to enter the work, was chosen his successor. Mr. Hunton labored alone in this field of such great magnitude until November 1, 1898, when his labor was supplemented by the writer, giving his time specially to city work. So now there are two men supervising this field, thataches from New England to Texas.

There are two main lines of work The work among students, and that among young men in the cities. The student work is of great importance to our young men. To quote from the constitution will show the object of this MEMBERS OF THE F MEMBERS OF THE FISK UNIVERSITY AS THE CONFERENCE association: "The object of this association shall be to promote growth in grace and Christian fellowship among its members, and aggressive Christian work, especially by and for students, and to lead them to devote their lives to Jesus Christ, not only in distinctive-ity, and Principal Fissell of Hampton Institute. President D. J. Sanders writes as follows: "It gives me great pleasure to bear testimony in favor of the helpfulness of the work of the Young Men's Christian Association in Biddle Univer. Christ.

Much emphasis is placed upon Bible study and personal work among the students, which has resulted in bringing many young men to Christ, and many others to a firmer purpose to serve Him in all their ways. Many of the revivals in our colleges have their beginning in the young men's meetings. The associations are not able, nor are the institutions, where they are formed, strong enough financially to have well-equipped buildings. The students generally have a room, which, in most instances is set apart for their exclusive use, where they hold their meetings. They make the room as ocey as their A. means permit, usually have some books and papers for the use of the members, and in some instances a piano or organ. There are 65 associations in colleges and normal schools, and there are 40 or 50 more that need to be organized. It is fitting to give testimony from President D. J. Sanders of Biddle Univer- FISK UNIVERSITY ASSOCIATION IN ity, and Principal Fissell of Hampton Institute. President D. J.

The organization has been sustained in the institution for eight or ten years and its great benefit has been increasingly manifest as an effective christian force among the young men of the school. The series of meetings recently held under the auspices of the association resulted in the conversion of a goodly number, and greatly revived the spiritual life of the community. The present year, 1899 and 1900, the record shows that out of 227 all but twelve are professed christians. This condition is due largely to the Young Men's Christian Association as an instrument in the Master's hands." Principal H. B. Frissell, of the Hampton Institute, says: "I am very glad to express my appreciation of the work of the Young Men's Christian Association in Hampton Institute. Its influence upon our young men has been most marked. It has bound them together as no other organization in the school has ever done: it has made the older ones more careful and thoughtful of the newer students, and its general effect has been most salutary." The first substantial effort made among the colored young men in city work was in Norfolk, Va., in 1888. This work is more difficult than the student work. Mr. W. A. Hunton, now secretary of the international committee, was the first general secretary of this association. A short description of the buildings and the work carried on there will give a very fair idea of what is being attempted in the twenty-five cities and towns where we have organizations. The Norfolk building has on the first floor two store rooms for rent, gymnasium, baths, lookers and rooms for educational classes; on second floor, the secretary's office, reception hall, parlors, reading room, library and boys' room on the third floor, spacious hall for; Sunday meetings and lectures. We attempt to aid the church and help the young men by providing a proper place for young men to spend their leisure, surrounded by wholesome literature and innocent amusements. We welcome the stranger, and try to win those who have not surrendered their' lives to N THEIR OWN ROOM. Christ. We have a field that is not touched by any other agency. In most of the cities, especially Southern, there is no respectable place, outside of home and church, for a young man to profitably spend his evenings. We are trying to meet this need and offset the sa- CON loon and club, with their baneful attractions, which are corraling thousands. We have a secretary giving his entire time at each of the following places: New Haven, Conn.; Baltimore, Md.; Norfolk, Va.; Richmond, Va.; Louisville, Ky.; New York City; Petersberg, 49 THE BALTIMORE BUILDING, PURCHASED 1898 Va.; Atlanta, Ga.; New Orleans, La. Charleston, S. C.; Indianapolis, Ind.; and also our assistant secretary at Norfolk. The associations are in possession of property aggregating $30,000 in value. An important feature of our work is JOHN EVANS. the conferences held each year where delegates are assembled from each association. Methods in Bible study and of association work are discussed. These conferences have been followed by THE BALTIMORE BUILDING special meetings and many students are converted, in one case over one hundred at one college. The past year four conferences were held, and at Charleston, S. C., 500 men attended the men's meeting and nineteen were converted. This movement is one of the departments of the Young Men's Christian Association, is interdenominational, and uniquely fitted to do great good among our people. It is bringing men of different denominations closer together—a thing sadly needed among us. It is providing some means to get hold of the boys of to-day who will be the men of to-morrow. It is calculated to help ease race friction "that they may be one," is our motto. It is under the direction of the international committee, 3 W. Twenty-ninth street, New York, which brings it into vital touch with the American movement which has had such phenomenal growth. This agency is not to overshadow any other, but is one of the forces necessary in this complex civilization of ours to help bring the kingdom of our Lord on earth among men as it is in heaven.

THE FREEMAN: AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER it is too costly and should be abandoned. 000 Bishop Grant has been traveling quite extensively through his work in Ontario and reports the prospects as being bright for the connection out there. Property is being bought, old church debt are being paid and the churches are being strengthened by the ingathering of precious souls for the Master. 000 The New Waters Chapel A. M. E. Church, Baltimore, Md., was dedicated Sunday, June 15, by Bishop B. F. Lee. It is said the new church is a very fine edifice and is quite a valuable addition to our connection. Bishop James A.

M., LL B., of Columbia, S. C. 000 Editor Murphy of the Afro-American Ledger, has been having experiences with the "Jim Crow Car," and other discriminations and proscriptions which places a label on the professing Christianity, in whatever section it is tolerated and practiced. When Editor Murphy comes to Atlanta to attend the Christian Congress in August he will see this hellborn caste and race prejudice and unjust discrimination in its worst form, except things changes a great deal, which is not very probable. 000 Of the fifty colored boys were graduated from the Richmond Colored High School in the (decade 1873-88, twelve have died.

Of the thirty-eight still alive, thirteen are teachers, three are doctor, two are journalists, five are postal clerks, one is a civil engineer, one is a clerk, two are book-keepers, one is a (bank president, and so on.

Prof. Boone was a young man of great promise. 000 A prosperous and successful year's work has just closed at Shorter University, Little Rock. They had a largely increased attendance in all departments. This school is one of the best of its kind in the connection, and on account of its location and opportunities is destined in the near future to equal if not excell any of our schools. The management of this school is excellent and the work that is being done quite satisfactory. The faculty is's good one. Dr. Phillips the president of the board of trustees and Dr. Jackson, the president of the school expect a larger attendance at the next school year than ever before in the history of the college.

Indianapolis Mortgage & Loan Co., Room 10 Thorpe Block, 147 E. Market Street, INDIANAPOLIS, IND. Straight University NEW ORLEANS, LA: OSCAR ATWOOD, A. M., President. One of the best ways to judge of the value and standing of a school is by its growth for people who care enough about an education to patronize any school, always want the best school, there's the best grows. The attendance at Straight University has increased over thirty per cent. In the last two years, from 58 to 705 students. The school work is through the use of the staff and staff management of the staff and staff management of the school. The school is the school of the students last session about one hundred were under the latter from Methodist. Baptist and Congregational families. Their religious preferences are not interfered with, and they are allowed as far as possible to attend the church selected by their parents. This is another reason why Straight is popular. We try to train them to be more aware of the importance of the teaching of the school. The primary school is not to receive young children. The primary school occupies a separate school building. The grammar school consists of grades five to eight inclusive and above these are the Normal and College departments. The industries taught are Woodworking Drafting, Sewing and Dressmaking, Millnery, Printing and the different kinds of homework. These departments are well equipped with the necessary machines, tools, etc., and provide with the tools to help students to learn the skills they have. Many of the resources are used to help many of the students at small expenses as Straight University. It is not necessary to urge the importance of an education in these times. The main thing is the selection of a good school. Call and see us or send for catalogue giving rates, course of study and other information Toirty-third annual session begins September 30, 1902.
