NUMBER 43. SERIES OF CHARGES LAID BARE BEFORE THE GAZE OF A CRITICIZING PUBLIC WEN OF THE CLOTH CALLED IN To Account for the Various Misdemeanors Traced to Their Door—Peering Into the Future of a Great Church—Bits of Information. I have long since decided not to anymore do much writing about the church and its affairs, and I have no reason to change. It is best, however, that now and then some word or two be uttered, to let the scheming office seekers know that they are being watched, and that they will not be allowed to wade through the wreck of departments and over the mangled names of good men to the offices which they so madly strive to resh. There never has been a time during the sixteen years or more that I have been on the inside of every important movement of the A. M. E. Church, and know its leaders and their purposes that the church as a whole has been higher in morals and more efficient in its work than it is right now. I know about every prominent man in the A. M. E. ministry, know his past and his present, and deliberately write the above. But to be true to the truth, I must add that during the past sixteen years the very bad men of the church have never before been so well organized, and so well entrenched, and so powerful as they are now. The next general conference will be the naviot in the career of the A. M. E. Church. There may not be much conflict at the general conference, because the matter will be settled before it meets by the character of the delegates elected. Thus far the delegations of the various conferences are mixed. No conference has, thus far, elected a delegation entirely composed of bad men, and yet but few have elected delegations that have not in the number at least one sympathizer with the bad gang. There has been much stealing done this quadrennium and the determination to protect the thieves is what inspires the unusual activity of the rascals and their gang. A goodly number, who have no affiliation whatever with the bad gang, have at the same time got mixed up in shady transactions, and for self protection are silent and inactive. They are not bad like the real rascals, yet they cannot afford to draw attention to themselves. Then there are others who are perfectly straight and honest, but who, in simply following established customs, have been mixed up with things that could easily be distorted into the appearance of wrong. Some of this class are trembling and silent. Thus it comes about that the bold, bad gang has a fairly clear field. The bad gang has supreme control of all of the leading church papers, and has to fear no papers widely circulated among the presachers except The Freeman. Dr. H. T. Johnson, of the Recorder, has always denounced The Freeman in terms most bitter and when he came out officially and editorially and commended it to the skies many said that it was because he felt sure it had "been seen." The appearance of this article, and others that will be published, is enough to explode that van hope. The Freeman is one paper of the race that is absolutely impartial, and independent, and fearless. There are others, but I am now speaking of The Freeman. When it becomes known that there is a means by which the plans of the bad gang can be made known they will tame down considerably. In a few words I am going to but one or two cannon balls, but the powder will be the simple statement of the truth. If ever there was an honest man elected to office in the A. M. E. Church that man was the late Dr. P. A. Hubbard. He was very obstinate and somewhat narrow in his views, and I had quite a conflict with him during his last year in office, but upon his grave I lay this tribute: "Dr. P. A. Hubbard, my true friend, was a christian, every inch of him, was an honest and sincere man and had the grit to be true to his convictions." He believed that it was his duty as financial secretary to pay to the delegates to the Ecumenical Conference the money apportioned to each by the Bishop's Council, I tried to persuade him not to do it, this was the ground of our contest. He may have been in the right. He paid to each delegate $4.00 and did it upon the express condition that "A CRUSHED, UNDYING RACE." DISFRANCHISEMENT PREJUDGE NEGRO HAYWOOD OF 03 WITH APOLOGIES TO "KEPPLER." the money was to be returned to him if the delegate did not go to London. Bishops Turner, Shaffer and Handy received their checks for $100 and so did Dr. W. D. Chappelle. None of these went, each one has made a satisfactory settlement except Dr. Chappelle. He loaned $100 of his money to one of the editors and another $100 to Dr. Leak. Dr. Hubbard tried to get him to re-turn it, but failed, and when he was dying he made the final effort. Dr. Chappelle promised him that he would return it after he had received the money from Children's Day, and upon this assurance the dying man, true to his principle, took $400 of his personal money and paid it over to the treasury of the church and had Dr. Chappelle's promise that he would pay the $400 advanced for him to his widow. Dr. Hubbard, noble and trusting soul, has gone from earth. His widow lives at Manitou, Col, and a letter thus directed will reach her. Anyone who desires can write to her and find out how true my statements are. Under date of October 2nd she writes to me and among other things says: "I write to ask you what did the financial board do about collecting for me my $400 owed by Dr. Chappelle? I have written to Dr. Lampton two or three times, but have no reply. Do you think I will ever get it? I am here at my old home trying to do the best I can, I am taking in roomers and trusting in God to help me through this world." Now, christian men, of the A. M. E. ministry, that is the Rev. W. D. Chappelle, D D, manager of the Sunday School Union and editor of the Monitor, who seeks to control the next general conference and to destroy such men as Bishops Grant, Shaffer, Smith, Arnner, Tanner and Derrick. He is the man whom Dr. C. P. Nelson says turned against him. He is the man whom I say is now booming his last quadrennium opponent. Welsh, so as to use him to defeat the just ambitions of a good man like the Rev. Dr. Nichols, and have the field to himself in his state. I have never yet written a thing about a man that time has not certainly vindicated. I have in my hands a letter from Dr. Chappelle to Mrs. Hubbard, in which he threatened that if she tried to collect her money he would deny that he owed it to her, but that it was due to the department and that she would get nothing. I have that letter and can publish a photographed copy if it is needed. The "Race Problem" as it Realy is. Cadiz, O, Special—There will be a Sunday School and Missionary Convention at the A. M.

Sam Muamels, of Rockport, is visiting friends in the city. Cairo, Ill., Special—Solomon Edwards blew out his brains after having shot and killed his wife, Mollie, better known as Mollie Ousley. Edwards was eight years old, and came from the Soldier's Home at Danville on a visit to his wife—Miss Nora Flinory, of Galorodia, Ill., is the guest of Mrs. Linsey, in Fourteenth street—Miss Oliva Taylor has gone to St. Louis.—Mr. and Mrs. M. McAlister were the guests of Mrs. Edinonia Watkins the 14th—Edward I presented the widow's claim before the board and it was decided to instruct Dr. Lampton to collect it. Up to October 2nd he has not succeeded in doing so. Dr. Chappelle controls the Monitor and other church papers of wide circulation, and is notorious for his way of defaming persons who make him mad, and it may be that like many others the gentle Dr. Lampton has not been over zealous in pushing his task as collector. Dr. Hubbard is dead, his widow is in need, Dr. Chappelle has $400 that belongs to her. He has shared some of it with an editor and Dr. Leak. His paper has lately teamed with vice abuse of me, most of it over the fictious signatures of curs who dared not show themselves in daylight. Dr. Welsh has already declared that he would find a way to dispute my election as a dele, gate; Chappelle has begun war; others are doing mean things. All of this cuts no figure, for here I have given to the world this bit of truth, and from a big basket I will dish up more and more until the church knows the men in their true character. I know each man with whom I have to deal and know him well. Let any who want to investigate write to Mrs. P. A. Hubbard, to the address given above, or, if they can get any member of the financial board to talk, ask the question. It is no board secret, but is a church matter that deserves the widest publicity. Dr. J. B. Stanberry says that he has Dr. Chappelle's receipt for the Children's Day money, which Chappelle claims not to have received. Like Dr. Leak, Chappelle may have neglected to have the amount entered on his books. All the persons from up this way, who have written anything adverse to the conference committees on finance were themselves not only members of said committees, but also substantial beneficiaries in the form of appropriations. I can give the figures and the details in each instance. There is no bishop who has ever served the first district who is more highly respected by the good people—ministeral and lay—than the present bishop. He has been bold enough to discipline certain libertines, and to save the Book Conc-rn. The white people of this country would turn in disgust from a religious organization that might fail to honor such a man. J. M. HENDEESON. News in Brief. News of Interest.

A CONDENSED PUBLICATION OF Many Important Happenings of the Past Few Days--A Comprehensive Review Most Likely to Prove of Interest to Our Many Readers. Louisville, KY., Special.—The state election takes place next Tuesday. After one of the bitterest and most exciting campaigns within the memory of the oldest inhabitant, the probable outcome is still shrouded in doubt. The unseen, immeasurable independent vote will turn the scale, but the problem is to guess "which way the cat will jump." In a natural contest, of course, the odds would greatly favor the election of Beckham, for Kentucky is naturally Democratic, but with a serious question as to his eligibility raised, disaffection in the Democrat ranks, and a widespread feeling that a change of parties might be conducive to more heathful political and moral conditions in the state, the young governor is carrying a heavy handicap. Belknap possesses a negative strength, in that he is comparatively unknown and unassailable. He is clean, capable and respected in business circles, but his chances for success lie more in the length the opponents within Beckham's own party will go to rebuke the "machine" he is accused of having built up to perpetuate his political dynasty. Ninety-five percent of the colored citizens are straight out Republicans, and will cast their ballots for Belknap, although it is generally confessed that he is not generally popular. The Negroes are supporting Belknap, not for Belknap's sake so much, as that he stands for the party of Lincoln and for the principles for which Theodore Roosevelt is stubbornly contending. The election of Belknap as governor of Kentucky at this time, it is argued, would go far towards stifening the backbone of the federal administration upon the great doctrine of human rights, and strengthen Republicanism everywhere for next year's battle. There is a so-called "liberal" element among the colored people that is openly supporting Beckham, and the latter, it is alleged, will get some votes among the Negroes employed by leading Democrats in various capacities, public and private. The instinct of gratitude is deeply grounded in the nature of our race. So, while the bulk express their gratitude for the party that abolished slavery, the small minority feel that the giver of present favors is entitled to the lion's share of credit. The registration is heavy, and the battle will be a fierce one up to the finish next Tuesday night. However, it is anybody's fight at this stage of the game. A most impressive funeral service was that of Miss Etta Adelia Hughes last Wednesday at Fifth Street Baptist Church, Rev. J. H. Frank officiated, preaching a beautiful sermon from the text: "He Cometh Forth Like a Flower and is Cut Down". Rev Mr. Allen, of the Presbyterian Church, made appropriate remarks. The teachers and classmates of the deceased at the Western School, joined in a touching memorial testifying to her many virtues, and presented an elegant stand of flowers. A profusion of floral offerings were given by admiring friends and Sunday School associates. Among those who attended the funeral and rendered valuable assistance to the bereaved family were Mrs. Charles W. Brown, of Indianapolis, aunt of the deceased; Prof. F. S. Delaney, principal of the high school, and Miss Mary V. Hicks, teacher in the local schools. The Forum will get down to business after the election. Asbury Church ought to be crowded every Sunday afternoon with our teachers, professional men, students and citizens generally. Popular education can be promoted in no more fitting manner than through the discussion of current topics at "the literary."

Horsetail In the Hay. Evidence has accumulated for some time that horses are seriously or even fatally poisoned by some plant con- fdined in swale hay. The common horsetail (Equisetuio arvense) is found by Messrs. Rich and Jones of the Ver- mont experiment station to be the cause of the trouble. It isa plant whieh occurs everywhere in Vermont on moist sandy soils. Other common names it bears are foxtail, pine top, jointed rush, etc. Observations by the veterinarian coupled with trial feedings show that even small quantities of equisetum in the hay cause sickness and death. ‘The symptoms are unthriftiness, wasting of muscles. swaying and staggering gait, especially in the hind limbs, neryous- ness and muscular convulsions. ‘The horse finally loses the ability to sustain itself on its feet and then soon dies, Young horses are more susceptible than older ones, while grain fed animals are! more resistant. ‘There Is no evidence of poisoning from green plants in the pasture. Horses way acquire a de- praved appetite for this weed so that they pick it out from the bedding. The treatment consists in the removal of. infested bay and administration of purgatives followed by the use of nux yomica.

I am a habitual reader of The Freeman, and, being concerned in hotel life, I read the waiters' columns with the utmost interest. From time to time various articles of the waiters' predicament, his fitness and unfitness for position have adorned these columns. Recent letters in these columns and the Steward's talk at their annual meeting held in Indianapolis now lays before us inviting our highest consideration. Of course my experience and ability is limited, but in my narrow opinion I will say that we have competent and incompetent, honest and dishonest men as waiters. This is duplicated in the element of white waiters. I may well say that there are qualified and unqualified individuals in almost every walk of life, regardless of nationality. I heartily admit the infinite need of a training school for waiters, also for other employees in various branches of hotel life, as they all begin their hotel career with practically no knowledge of it. It behooves the colored head, second and sidewaiters to give their exclusive interest and aid in erecting a school for waiters. Employes now are forced to learn more and more as they advance in employment of different hotels. In this way the intelligent, comprehensive individuals finally gain perfect knowledge of their position, and even adequate ability for a higher and more compensated place. By this poor method many hotels have suffered many true, but uncreditable criticisms upon attention and service rendered. To day the green novices are permitted to acquire their education in this unavailable way to the hotel; therefore the hotel operators do not only feel the real need and necessity of a training school for waiters, but for every considered employee of a hotel that they all may have some previous understanding of their chosen capacity. Of course it would be of infinite importance if even some of our boys could use well the various languages, but they cannot, and, at present, no one THE PENCE 132 W.

How many born white Americans are familiar with the foreign languages? The inability of the colored waiters to use foreign languages do not narrow their knowledge of actual service. I am one who will ever believe that we have waiters in our midst that are second to none when it comes to accurate service, politeness and integrity. As evidence, it is not true that colored waiters are giving pleasing service in some of the best hotels regardless of plan? F. A. Brobst, proprietor of Hotel Lincoln, Pittsburgh, Pa, in his article on "Liquor in the Kitchen," in the Hotel World, July 18:3n, said, in part: "My colored waiters are giving excellent service, and the guests can now go in and order a meal and feel sure of not being insulted by the waiter." It is a great mistake for one to think that a well educated white man, regardless of nationality, would seek the submissive position of waiter. Indeed not; he is aspiring for vocation far more commendable, and we may not well think that the white waiters possesses so much more education than the average colored waiter. Some of our ablest men have risen from the position of waiter, and intelligent men yet follow the profession. Whether the waiters be fit or unfit I think it is a piece of great injustice done them for any colored headwaiter to publicly denounce them as incompetent, even though their opinion may be expressed in honesty for the best Realize the fact that everything done in honesty is not always done right. On the other hand, our headwaiters should train and advise the incapable waiters to the utmost of their ability, and do so in private and not give them so many hard pills to swallow in public. We, as lovers of our profession and race, should regard the fact that these fit and unit waiters form an element of great dependence to any headwaiter, and are the medium through which a headwaiter is maintained in position. They, too, can be the main cause of a headwaiter losing his position. I know this to be true. Some headwaiters neglect giving their men correct and valuable instructions in regard to service, etc. It may be true that intelligent sidewaiters can remark upon some headwaiters as unqualified. Seemingly, some employees conceive that idea or, at any rate, they will engage a white headwaiter and still desire the service of the colored waiters. What brings such peculiar change about? There's no end to the meaning of the word first-class when applied to a waiter, yet I am afraid the number of first class waiters in our element has been underestimated, at any rate I hope so. Any intelligent waiter who has had three years' experience in good hotels can give pleasing service in the average hotel, although I admit that the position of waiter is fast advancing into a greater source of persecution and responsibility. In this age one never learns it all, as we find employment in different hotels we find new developments, various novelties of silverware and other articles used in the elevated art of serving; in fact the general environments add to one's ability in experience and observation. We realize the hurtful fact that antagonism, prejudice and other obstructions are piled in our path. We can be succeeded by girl waiters as well as men waiters (white), and it general opportunity and success is ever achieved we must prove to be equal or superior to our competitors. Those who read hotel papers can comment upon many changes pro and con, and some of the most hurtful incidents against us more or less is caused by strikes. Beyond doubt strikes have thrown more colored waiters out of position than prejudice, drunkenness, unfitness, untidyness and dishonesty combined; therefore, seemingly, strikes is the greatest evil we must ever overcome. Still I believe, as long as hotels operate colored waiters will be found in some of them, just as they are to day. We as a race and race lovers must work out our own destiny, and it behooves the hotel fraternity to work out their own destiny. In my opinion there is no institution or organization more capable of conducting a training school for waiters than the H and S. W. N. B. A. The description laid down to the association by me is as follows: Mr. President and Members — We freely acknowledge the fact that we are living in an advancing age of hotel life, much so as a world of infinite competition, thus we must realize the fact that integrity, sobriety, cleanliness and efficiency are characterized to warrant position.

Why should not this organization be the founder of a needy institution known as a training school for the novices as waiters? If the zealous members that form this element would readily subscribe to a comparative small individual stock in the financial interest of erecting or purchasing a building for such well directed purpose the hotel people of this country would see the unique interest produced in our midst in the intention of raising and maintaining the standard of service, and employers would soon feel in the heart of their hotel, which we acknowledge to be the dining room, the acutual need and benefit of such an institution. Such institution should be furnished with imitations of every novelty of table silver, also silver hallow ware to be found of use in the modern hotels. No doubt the manufacturers of silver and plated ware would favor the organization in such good work by producing desired imitations at a stipulated price. Every design of wine glasses, cheap crockery ware should be found there, and any other needy article of the well furnished dining room. Wherein the novice could be taught the correct use and service of such things, being taken through drills as if actually waiting table. There they should learn by precise information the extracting of a cork from a bottle of all kind of ales, aerated waters and wines, and the classical service of wines in their respective glasses. This school should teach the composition of salad dressings, the make up of club and party sawniches, the classification of food as in serving a course dinner or luncheon, also the appropriated greens for garnishing and the proper and tasteful way of applying decoration to the various articles of food. Teach the setting of a table for any special occasion. It is also of profound importance that this school use copies of the "Latin De Cousine" in its classes, that the novice may learn the foreign terms of side dishes, entrees and entrements. Copies with full discipline of the different check systems should find a place in the class. In fact such institution should insure its pupils the correct knowledge of every issue and art appertaining to the profession of waiting in its minute detail, that they may be well qualified to meet the infinite demands of different establishments. Headwaiters should spend a part of their vacation at this school, suggesting every possible technical idea in the art of waiting for its class advancement. Practical retired head and side-waiters should find employment teaching the novices. A heartily co-operation of the organization should prevail, in the sole purpose of carrying progressive ideas of service to the school. This institution should subscribe to every valuable hotel periodical published. The classes could be termed a, b, c, etc., beginning in the simplest course and advancing. Individuals departing from such institutions should stand a crucial examination and, according to ability, a diploma should be issued, bearing the seal of the organization. Without a diploma the applicant should be denied employment. Waiters should carry a recommendation from their previous headwaiter. Such worthy and important discipline would, undoubtedly, drive the incapable, unappreciative, boor-fighting waiter out of business. This institution should be the home of an employment office, insuring its prepared pupils positions. I believe the Southland to be the mother of more aspiring waiters than the North, East and West combined. If this is true we find evidence that the South should be the first place to open the doors of a training school. Of course this association could not operate such a profitable school free of charge. May every head and second waiter in and out of this association lead our boys into the pure light, that the prevalence of strikes for them is absolutely preposterous. May we ever remember that we have it all to gain and nothing to lose. W. E. TUCKER The Head and Second Walter's Convention, held at Atlantic City last week, was very largely attended, at the change in the constitution, admitting the side waiters for membership, was one of great benefit to the association.

Great interest is being manifested in the meetings and much good is expected from the work-James Logan, brother of Mrs. Fannie Wash, who was crippled in the coal mines at Dawville, Ill., a few weeks ago, does not seem to be improving. The Ohio county colored teachers' association met Saturday, Oct 24th, at Taylor's Mines, Ky. The program was a lengthy one, containing subjects that should be well understood by both parents and teachers. The public school of this place is progressing nicely. Prof L. W Smith, who is an experienced teacher, is making a great effort to advance the cause of education in this community. He is also connecting a night school for the special benefit of the patrons of the district. The members of the night school are becoming regular readers of The Freeman, a paper that is doing more for our race than any other periodical in America. I hope to see a copy in each home of McHenry, Ky., as well as other communities. The coal mines are running regular, and there is little cause for complaint among the miners.

A NEW MOVE. Bishop Grant has established what is known as the Northwestern Information, Employment and Settlement Bureau in this city, regarding which he has the following to say: "It is my purpose to furnish all information within my possession with regard to our Northwestern country. I mean to include the States of Iowa, Wisconsin, Minnesota, North and South Dakota and Illinois. I mention these States because there are so many persons in them who desire to secure help, and many of them prefer colored help if they can get good honest, industrious persons. It is my purpose as far as possible, to assist in locating those who desire to secure lands by purchase, even to establish colonies, if any number of persons desire such. In any of the States mentioned the school facilities are all that could be desired and citizens can cast their votes unmolested." The bishop has the following to say, as if anticipating some adverse comment: "I do not think any man or set of men can be unreasonable as to object to persons going to any section of our country where they can better their conditions, especially when it is claimed that these people are obnoxious and unworthy of their citizenship in the localities from which they go." It is a fact that the South has heretofore been very jealous of the colored people within its borders; it may be that in these latter years sentiment is somewhat changed. If it has not changed Bishop Grant will have considerable trouble in bringing away the class of people he expects. There is a class that the South would take pleasure in sending, butthe sturdy workmen, the man of small wants and easy contentment, the man not easily exercised over his rights here and there, the one that thanks God that it is as well as it is; no faddist, extremist nor up-to-dateist; yes, verily, the salt of the earth; these will make good and useful citizens whether in Minnesota or Mississippi. And now, to take the white man's part for a little while, for he has his burdens, although a stoic in the game of life, and stolcism is nothing beyond suffering congealed; but to take his part; if those States had in total the order of individual, as described above, new fields would not be necessary. The contention abandons no right or concession; it simply means that growth must be natural and slow; not forced. Saul's armor would have fitted David in time, perhaps. But he did not despair because he did not measure up to Saul; he made the best of the weapons on hand; he was not accountable for more. "Let down your buckets where you are" is the beautiful figure made famous by Booker T. Washington. If it is done we need not ask pardon for going or staying, but free to come or to go as other American citizens whose entrance or exit exoite no commotion whatever. The black man has his burdens, and in the South more than elsewhere. Some at his own inviting, others and more, perhaps, devised by the cunning of the white man, many of whom have in mind checks and stays for the progress of the blacks, intensified by some unconventionality on their part, and which has grown until a serious condition exists; a breach of differences that apparently widens all the time, at least it does not appear to grow less, and threatens to become law by "ancient" usage. It is the condition of crystallization that the bishop hopes to break through, breaking up the molecular, stolidity and solidity of the forces that in their resettling the rearrangement may be in accord with general trend THE FREEMAN: AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER and hopes of the general country, and not baked into that one certain condition—stagnation, the premonition of death.

The first sentence, which says, "Information is often sought regarding the moral character of our graduates," is significant. In the attacks made on Mr. Washington and his institution, which have been noticeably frequent and virulent since Mr. Carnegie favored him by his munificence, simply proves true the theory that success is attended with all kinds of cost. The fact that Mr. Washington makes that his leading sentence shows that he feels to defend his pupils and institution, a thing he would not do for himself. It is only when he feels that the creations around him are too violently assailed that he condescends to reply at all. But when he says, "It seems important at the beginning of this report to say that not a single one of our graduates has ever been convicted of crime or sent to a State penitentiary. This statement is based on a carefully kept record," it may be set down that the offense is serious and the situation needs serious defense. The most vicious assaults have been made on Mr. Washington's school recently, the report even going abroad that the pupils had struck and that many had packed their belongings and left, and that others were only awaiting the consent of their parents to return home. There seems to have been nothing of it. The report that the Tuskegee graduates have been in all sorts of escapades is another flotsam and jetsam seemingly, especially as it refers to the penitentiary or hanging charges that have been made. It would be folly to maintain that Tuskegee turns out anything more than human beings. Pupils there will average up like those of other institutions. Now and then the best institutions have representatives in prison, on the scaffold, in the chair, under the knife—on the wheel. Indeed Mr. Washington has only a right to speak of the past history of the institution and its pupils; not the future; they are not exempt from the follies and "fate" of mankind. It is the province of the teacher to reduce the possibilities and probabilities of crime to a minimum in whatsoever way possible. A gospel of infallibility is not the one to be preached for fear of shattering the idol altogether, which in the strengthened iconoclasm would do more to bring about the unexpected than the humanly way of looking at things—that mankind sometimes err—the best mankind. That it be not maligned is sufficient, and it may be supposed that, that is what Booker T. Washington had in mind. The Republicans of Mobile county, Alabama, have declared against the action of the State Convention in 1902, which refused to "permit regularly elected delegates belonging to the colored race from participating in the deliberations of said convention." The steps taken by the Republicans of the county of Mobile will be considered the turning point from that extreme and un-American attitude assumed by the State convention. It simply emphasizes the fact that error and wrong are only supported with the greatest vigilance, while right alone is a more than successful combatant albeit the eternal years be necessary to re-establish her upon her throne. It stands to reason that in time if the colored man but nearly subscribes to conventional requirement, those rights snatched arbitrarily will be restored to him. Among the candidates for the Christian Recorder of the A. M. E church is Rev. J. A. Jones, D. D., of Pulaski, Tenn., who is another one of the peaks of the church. His usefulness, prominence and ability is noted by the various positions he now holds—secretary Tennessee conference, trustee Wilberforce University, vice president Tennessee teacher's association, trustee Turner Normal College, Shelbyville, member general board of publication. Rev Jones has had experience also in the field of journalism, which, taken with his other qualifications, makes him a very formidable candidate for the editorship of the Christian Recorder.

PHONES: New 2160 Wid. 345 Leota Street and Southeastern Avenue Aent the Philippine situation the Indianapolis News concluded a recent editorial as follows: "But we have not yet taken the question really to heart and brought the American conscience to bear on the condition and rights of those 10 000,000 brown people as we brought it to bear on the 4,000,000 black people in this country concerning whom we finally decided to do justice though the heavens fall." It is to be hoped that the sentiment as it concerns the blacks of America is not merely from the lips; it is not impugned, but to know it with certainty will be relieving to a people who sometimes falter in that ultimate trust due to Him that is greater than men.

Ed Green, sage manager of the famous Black Patti Troubadoura, now touring the southwest, and on their eighth season of unrivaled success. The public and press pronounce the show, this season, the best it has had since their first two seasons of Eastern success. Mr. Green staged the entire show this season, retaining many of the old features brightened up. The ladder of success has been steadily mounted round by round by this energetic producer since his position as vocal director with South B 4 War Co. in '96 gaining popularity as an interloucher and chorus master with Rusco & Holland and Georgia minstrels '97-98, and as stage manager and producer of the Oliver Scott's refined minstrels which have never been forgotten. Mr. Green has managed and successfully staged farce comedies at Memphis, Tennessee, for one year, where J Harry Jackson sends the following from New York City: The funeral services of Caleb A. Simms was held Sunday night, October 18th, at the Bethel A M E church. An appropriate musical program was arranged by Prof J. W. Mitchell with Prof. Willis Accooe as accompanist. Solos were sung by Miss Marie Bolden, Harry Burleigh, Leon Williams, the Female Drummer Quartette and Tom Brown's Magnolia Quartette The choir of the church was augmented by a large number of ladies and gentlemen of the theatrical profession Rev T. W Henderson delivered a ver. appropriate sermon, and Hon J D Carr and Rev Tice also spoke of the many good qualities of Mr. Simms. Mr. Simms was the leader of the united colored democracy of Greater New York, and proprietor of the Albany Club on West 37th street and was very popular with members of the theatrical profession. His remains were shipped to Baltimore. Md., for interment There were fully 5,000 people in attendance at the funeral services—Harry P.

"All For Your Love," by far one of the best romances written, has just been finished and will be retained for a New York production. The non de plumme "Bronze Chesterfield" is becoming widely known, and to see his name as stage manager is a sign of a good show.

D Hall, are big favorites on the Polis circuit. The following is what the Bridgeport (Conn.) Standard says: Ernest Hogan, called the "Unbleached American," made the greatest hit in the hit. He was supposed to be an automobile chauffeur. There was an explosion and he made his entrance tattered and torn with a steering wheel in one hand and a rubber tire in the other. When he got to sing the audience repeatedly re-called him and would not allow him to stop. When he invited the audience to join in a whistling chorus the gallery nearly blew the roof off. He was as ised in the sketch by Miss Mattle Wilkes, who, as Mrs. Angelica Scattergood added considerably to the success of the little comedy. News in General. Mobile, Ala, Special.—Dr C. L.

THE MUSIC BAND THE TRAINING SCHOOL THE MILITARY CORPS In the June number of the Atlantic Monthly appears a well-written article on the "Negro in the Regular Army," by Oswald Garrison Villard. Many favorable comments have been made upon this article, because of its thoroughness fairness and scope. But in treating the subject it was only possible for the able writer to gener- NON-COMMISSION allize, because of the limited space. There are many phases of army life which are entirely unknown to the civilian, and can only be acquired by a more intimate acquaintance with the soldier under his own vine and fig tree. This is only possible for those who are regularly enlisted and assigned to an organi- B zation where they have an opportunity to get an insight into true soldier life, that could not be acquired in any other way. In a general way, the conditions that are obtained in one army post are identical with all; but there are special conditions which are peculiar to the indi 10 vidual commaude, and it is of these that I shall attempt to elucidate as affects the command garrisoning Fort Harrison. Montana, which is located three miles from Helena. Montana's capital. The Fort is garrisoned by the headquar- 4 ters, N. C. S., and band and companies B, C, and D, Twenty-fourth U. S. Infantry.

The officers, with the exception of the chaplain, are white, while the enlisted personnel, with the exception of the chief musician, are colored men. The maximum enlisted strength of a com- ONED STAFF AND CLERKS AT POST H pany is sixty-five, while a band is allowed but twenty-eight men; though many of the army bands, as is the case with the Twenty fourth Infantry band, have a number of men attached for instruction, thus enabling them to have an instrumentation of forty to fifty pieces. With ample quarters, all BAND.

Young men possessing vim and ambition, by application to duty, soon ad- COMPANY "A." vance to the higher positions as they become skilled performers. When located near a city, as is the Twenty-fourth infantry band, the outside engagements that an army band a afferget it opportunities for develop 1 COMPANY "B." ment along musical lines, that are, indeed, exceptional. The revenues derived from outside engagements are divided pro rata amongst the members of the band, thus enabling them to earn an amount often equal to or exceeding their pay. It may be added that during a part of the past summer the members of the Twenty-fourth Infantry band were thus doubling their pay. This, in addition to his pay, rations and clothing, with only HEADQUARTERS. two legitimate bills to meet each month —barber bill, $1 100; and laundry bill, $1 150; $2.50 in all, will allow one to place to his credit each month, even when on his first enlistment, a very neat sum of money, which, when deposited with the government, draws four per percent interest. Y. It is generally admitted that the present band of the Twenty-fourth Infantry is far superior to any musical organization in the United States army; possessing a musical library valued at $5 000, which contains none but high class music. The superior excellence of the organization from a musical as well as 1930 soldierly point of view has been thoroughly voiced by both the press and general public where ever they have appeared. While in the Philippines they delighted thousands nightly with their matchless music on the Luetta. [A group of men in uniform standing on a building steps]. Since taking station at this post the band has grown into popular favor with all classes. At a recent concert given 12 COMMANDING OFFICERS AND STAFF ON DUTY AT FORD HARRISON, MONT THE SCHOOL OF MILITARY EDUCATION 10 at the Broadwater Natatorium in Helena the capacity of the street car company was exhausted in an attempt to handle the throng desiring to attend. Over three thousand people applauded the first number, and from that to the close of the program of twelve numbers there were from one to three encores to each number. The comments of the COMMANDING OFFICE press of Helena upon the excellence of the program and also upon the general esteem in which the regiment, though composed of colored men, is held, attest the may compliments which have been showered upon them At the present writing there are no vacancies in this matchless musical organization, though two will occur within the next few days by reason of the retirement from active service of two of the veterans after more than thirty [Image of a group of men in military uniforms standing in front of a building]. years service. The pay of each of the above mentioned men, upon the retired list, will be $33 50 per month, thus enabling them to live comfortably the remainder of their days. The two vacancies thus created will furnish opportunities for two first-class musicians to complete the instrumentation. Any duly qualified musician wishing to enlist for the band should communicate with the Chief Musician, band Twenty-fourth Infantry, Fort Barrison, Montana, who will gladly furnish any information that may be desired. It may not be amiss to say that much of 12 the success of the band, from a financial point of view, has been due to the "strenuous" efforts of the Ajautant, Captain James A. Moss who has left nothing undone towards encouraging the individual members to attain the highest standard in their profession. Being constantly on the alert, and a manager of exceptional ability, he has turned hundreds of dollars into the coffees of the band, thus increasing each members pay to a very neat sum. In connection with the band an orchestra of twenty five pieces has been organized that will soon outstrip the band in popular favor with the lovers of dance music. During the approaching winter they will have but few idle moments owing to the large number of engagements booked, and the general demand for either the orchestra or the band. The accompanying cuts show the commanding officer, his staff and the officers on duty at the post; a corner in the sergeant major's office. the band and companies A. B, C, and D. GORDON QUITS. Gordon, the colored foot ball player of the Wabash (Ind ) College team, has resigned owing to the objection to his ERS AND STAFF ON DUTY AT FOR playing made by other clubs. Regard ing the matter he says: "I have been thinking of this step ever since the first objection made by the Shortridge team and when Haover used the pretext of disliking to play against a colored man as an excuse for cancelling Saturday's game, I saw that there was going to be trouble here all the rest of the season. I know that if I should have played the boys would have stood by me and I appreciate it very much Rather than cause any more disturbance I think it best for all 10 CONPANY "C.". concerned that I give up my position on the varsity. I will continue to play on the se and team, however, and help the boys all I can in that way " Gordon's action in resigning was eminently proper; he round that the first opposition to him by the Shortridge High School team was something more than a passing spasm. He has been determinedly and doggedly opposed, seemingly, with system, so that he had but one thing left to do if he were a man, and that was to resign. The matter is but an incident in our COMPANY "D." racial life, such as we may expect and do have every day; it belongs to the social equality catalogue; pleasure not duty. Had his associates attempted to deny him the possibilities of education he would have been justified in sticking until ousted by sheer force of overpowing numbers, provided all requirements had been satisfied. But such was not the case and he had no moral right to stay to further stultify his manhood, or jeopardize the interest of his friends or be the means of inflaming racial passion. There are those who will call his position weakness, and insist that he should have stuck as long as his own college gave him sympathy and support. But that is just where they are wrong. His own men honored and repected him, accorded him distinguished consideration, since it is no easy task to have the opportunity of shining on the "grid-iron;" it was up to him as to what to do; his duty was plain. We doubt very much the possibility of any man taking on education in its best sense who will deliberately become a wall for a battering ram. Every individual susceptible to educational influences must be sensitive to a greater or less degree; it is an all around quality having no counter R T HARRISON, MONT. zones—a saving degree of sensitiveness about everything. It does not impinge on one's courage either, for that class is the most courageous owing to sensitiveness, which is the minute man of one's honor. The race will appreciate when each member will be manly for the man, not selfish, but manly; kingly in the unit kingly in the aggregate. We want our race Gordonized not "humiliated; standing up for the individual. 10 The Negro race must learn that respect only begets respect; aping gets nothing but contempt and contumely. True enough the race is dependent for means and favor, but the whites themselves prefer a noble acting, upright people, albeit humble, rather than a set of truckling, snuffing simians. Trying to break into the white man's affairs has been: the very means of cementing the very thing solidly against us. Policy in everything! And what race needs a campaign of policy, diplomacy more? Note the trivial assault on Washington; sans policy, sans sense, sans everything 10 If social equality is to come, just let it be born naturally—no midwifery for us; let the others do the hastening, the agitation, all in the interest of the race's preservation.

Monroe Nathan work a Negro student in the University of Chicago, in a thesis on Negro real estate holdings in Chicago puts forward the claim that the first settler was Jean Baptiste Point de Sable, a San Domingo Negro, who came into Illinois with the French settlers and built a log cabin on the north bank of the Chicago river in 1777, or twenty-six years before the arrival of John Kinzle's party. The greatest colored composer is S. Coleridge Taylor, born Aug. 15, 1875 at London, Eng.

His "Hiawatha" has been produced several times in America Educational Notes. Educational Notes. The following address was delivered at a meeting in Osceola, Ark., of the Colored Teachers' Institute by D. E. Caldwell, M. D., and is herew published by request of a number of members of the institute: "I have in my mind a man lying on the ground, mangled and lame. A man devoid of honor, an alien to virtue and to respectability, a stranger, sick and helpless and bleeding, he lay prostrate upon his filthy couch, covered with the mantle of ignorance and resting his head upon the pillow of superstition. Then came along a friend, a good Samaritan, and conch him arise from his filthy conch, imbued his soul with honor, tangt him the lesson of virtue, clothed him with the mantle of respectability, placed in his hands the key of knowledge, presented to him the sword of power (because knowledge is always power). This friend with one stroke of the magic ward broke loose the chain of ignorance and riveted in his side the wings of self-reliance, and bade him sail the endless sea of time. The man I have in mind arises, flutters his wings and launches, on uptown life's tempestuous sea. His friend calls him have and tells him that there is one more lesson I want to teach you. This friend whispers in his ear, the oracle of the gods, which reads like this: 'Hu- D. E. CALDWELL, M. D. manly is the foundation of every virtue." Again he launches out upon the broad sea of time. Following closely his hard learned lessons, he summons the forces of nature to his feast, he tunnels the mountains and converses with the lightning, builds his great cities, leads to victory mighty armies, both upon land and sea. Thus he finally reaches the topmost pinnacle of fame and bathe his feet in the clouds. The man of whom I speak is the world, and the by some of our leading choral societies, among which are to be mentioned the Handel and Haydn Choral Society, of Boston, and the S.

Rogers were arrested at the county fair Colfax, Wash., Oct. 17 on a charge of kidnaping and are at the county jail. They had a Negro boy, 14 years of age, disguised as a wild girl, and compelled him to eat mud. Rufus Stone, the boy's father, came from Spokane and charged the men with having kidnaped his son. The men claimed to have a wild girl captured in Cuba, whose chief diet was mud, and they were doing a good business when arrested. Prof. W. H. Dammond, formerly teacher of mathematics at Wilberforce University, has invented a railroad signal that promises to be a great success. The Detroit papers speak in the highest terms of Dr. Dammond's invention. The Professor is now employed by the Michigan Central Railroad as assistant bridge engineer, a position which no other colored man in this country holds. Miss Vanderzee, the young colored women from Lincoln that was educated by the club women of Nebraska in the Washington Training school to teach in the kindergartens of the South, recently received an appointment at Tuskegee, Ala. friend to whom I refer is the teacher of the public school. It is the common public school teacher that has made the crooked way straight and the rough way smooth to that beautiful land of civilization. It is he who first taught the warrior patriotism and the statesman honesty, and the child virtue. Sweep out-of existence the public school teacher and then expect civilization to advance? You might as well blot out the sun from the universe and expect there to be light. I honor the public school teacher again because he alone bears the burden of civilization in the heat of the day. Talk about your great institutions of learning, your Wilberforce, your Shorter, your Tuskegee, your Lemon, your Cornell, your University of Virginia, your Yale and your Harvard, but long before the noble youth has been prepared for these institutions, his character has been formed, his ambitions moulded and inspired by the common country school teacher. Did I say common? Can we call the architects of this universe common? Can we call the corner stone of our civilization common? Can we call the safe guards of our virtue and the promoters of our intelligence common? God in heaven forbid. If possible let us select some place where all the great can assemble. If possible let us rend the veil between time and eternity and summons the soul from the spirit land into our conference. Form a committee of five and ask each one the source of his inspiration for greatness, and many of them would answer that it was not from the mansions fair of institutions of renown, but they would point them to an isolated spot, where once sat a little country log school house, that has been wiped away by the hand of time, they would carry you a little farther and point you to some unmarked grave, perhaps covered up in the weeds. It is the burial place of some faithful teacher, who has sown seed that will grow throughout eternity."—The Osmola Press.
