LONDON BOASTS VISITORS FROM NEARLY EVERY CLIME. A Medley of Tongues and a Varied Panorama of Colors Greets the Coronation Visitors. London, une 21.—(Copyright, 1902, by the New York Tribune.)—The ceremonious welcome to the colonial troops at the Alexandra palace, which was the chief function today, was hardly required in order to convince either big or little Englanders that the empire is world-wide, and that London has become, in a real sense, a picturesque capital. Hampton Court and Alexandra palace are the headquarters of the Indian and colonial troops, and all races are on exhibition. The tall Sikhs in khaki jackets and heads puggareed with crimson cloths; the brown Ghoorkas, with long knives and swaggering strides, the stealthy Pathans, in Oriental uniforms; the copper-faced guards from the Straits settlements; the black negroes from West Africa and Rhodesia; the wide-awake volunteers from Canada, and the brawny soldiers from Australia, New Zealand and South Africa are united in an unparalleled imperial spectacle for staid and sober London. Piccadilly, Park Lane, Pall Mall and White Hall are clogged with traffic hour after hour, but enlivened with the ceaseless by-play of masquerade faces and costumes. If Thackeray were in the old corner of the Atheneum club he could have strange glimpses of Oriental maharajas or grand viziers from Uganda, in blue gowns with silver hats, or yellow Celestials in attendance upon the Chinese envoy, and would fail to know Pall Mall with its timeded stands and embroidered carpentry. Piccadilly, with its gaudy decoration of Turkey red, and enormous white bows fastened to Venetian masts, is transformed beyond recognition by old-time Londoners. The clattering of hammers is heard night and day as the time r construction receives the finishing touches and the fred felting is nalled down, and a thousand painters are mixing and splotching colors --- THE NEW AGE.

It has been boldly and artistically designed, and has a business and commercial side as an attractive advertisement of the agricultural resources of the dominion. All the streets along the line of the royal progress are already fluttering with banners and bunting. It is the fantastic medley of many colors without the hoped-for proof that artistic results have been accomplished in street decorations. ILLINOIS NEGRO BAPTISTS Committee Appointed to Secure Exhibits for World's Fair. Alton, Ill.

BUTTE, MONTANA, SATURDAY. JULY 19, 1902. NO RACE DISTINCTION NECESSARY. By Modie. Why make the negro question a subject and discuss it as much? Why not class their right in with all other subjects pertaining to natural and matrial law and rights of mankind? The negro would not have been brought here to mingle with his white brother had it not been a part of God's holy plan. They, as a class, have attributes in embroidery superior to ours which we have not. We have others sujorer to theirs which they have not. It were well that these two classes be brought together in order that a new and superior race be adjusted or it would not have been, and in time will show forth as such in progression. The United Setates' people alone hold the colored class in prejudice. This is begot of ignorance. We are under deep obligations to them and hate them accordingly. This prejudice begot of injustice may take aons of ages to obliterate, but it is all a part of the plan and will in time work out in the best way possible for both races. Love God, truth, omnipotence does not reason. It simply is love, etc. All creation is negative to it and is being brought into fulfillment as quickly as omnipotence and time can bring it bout. All creation is the negative pole of life while "Love, the unseen," is the positive and all negative must first be brought into a recognition of this fact before it can come into greater fulfillment or become a portion of perfection with it. Why? Because negation is endowed with reason, and may and does reason against itself as well as for itself, which is its privilege. Because it is composed of both matter and spirit is apt toudge from the material standpoint rather than from that of the spiritual. Reason is the controlling power belonging to matter, while conscience is its positive side belonging to spirit. When reason judges it draws its conclusions from effect and not from cause. Had the negro been brought here by us through promptings of love, he would by this time have shown much more marked improvement in progression than he has done. Our race was running out of the true attributes which makes for spirituality or he would not have been transplanted among us; and according to the opportunities he has had he has done well; better than we would have done under similar conditions. They are inclined to spirituality beyond that of the white race in some ratio. They are naturally passive, which attribute properly belongs to the regenerate mind, but while in the unregenerate mind shows forth in slothfulness. This is not a fault but a distinction of nature born of a warm climate. An illiterate person may be of either mind; education does not necessarily speak for regeneration, which is spirituality. I have seen colored persons of both minds as well as white persons. While education is a necessity to advancement in the unengrate or negative mind, it is not held in importance to those living pure lives on the spiritual plane. Love, FIRST CAUSE, cares nothing for education or conservatisms, or any otherites or isms. Love is love wherever you find it, and is no respector of persons, black, white or yellow. An illiterate person as to books may live a beautifully pure life, being lead by the voice within and be more near right than the educated person who comes to his conclusions through reason. This is not, however, an argument against education, for while you live in the fleshily mind you must have education, but simply to show that a person who has not had the opportunity of an education need not be wall their fate, but make up the lack by drawing upon their higher self (which lies within) and is all knowing, all wise, and of all truth, and it will be their guide and is a more reliable one than that obtained parrot-like through the intellect. A cultivation of the intellect is all right and proper, but if I were obliged to do without one, or to associate with either I would make my choice for myself among persons of the spiritually taught rather than those of the intellectual, brainy class. The former "judge by righteous judgment," love; the latter by cold reason. Yet both are good and a part of "the plan," and one cannot exist without the other any more than the negative pole in electricity can ope- rate without the positive and vice versa. Environments have grafted the negro upon the "George Washington" tree (free American soil) with the hatchet of truth, and here their offspring should remain. The fathers of the country should see to it that all distinction and separateness of class be put asunder. The negro should receive all the benefits that the government affords the white race without question or favor. Let them bury their prejudices and look the subject fair in the face without wavering and make up to them for the past injustice done them. Colonization will never terminate successfully with the colored race; they are made of different material from that of the Boers; besides, this is their country as well as 'tis our. They are "the younger brother," as it were. We are all descendants of foreigners for that matter, and should not boast too much of OUR free country unless all be free indeed. No thanks to us that we are white, and no disgrace to them that they are black. We would become the same were we to migrate to a torrid climate and remain there indefinitely; and as to intellect the colored race accept an education as readily as their white brothers, and they will stand more loyal as citizens simply, because they have the passive, affectionate love nature which, when regenerated, will count for them in spirituality to a greater degree than we possess. Their passionate, "carsil nature," when regenerated will make up for them in spirituality far beyond anything now taken account of. What wonder that a few of them are abnormal in that direction, when, if we take the trouble to look into the subject we find their white lineage of the very worst of its kind, barring a few exceptions. To that the colored race have nothing to boast of so far as to their white blood. After they have had a sufficient amount of opportunity and love shown them we will be proud of them and we will say, "SEE WHAT WE DID." WILLING TO HELP. A story comes of the pastor of a struggling, but enterprising little church, who was making a fervent appeal to his congregation for funds toward a new building, says the Philadelphia Times. When he paused in his argument, a well-dressed gentleman arose, stepped forward, explaining that, although a stranger in their midst, he had taken an interest in their efforts, and asked to be permitted to subscribe a thousand dollars. Of course, the pastor was amazed; a single contribution of $10 would have been as high as his expectations. "My dear brother," he exclaimed, "may I ask your name?" "Smith, sir. I have just settled 'n business in the neighborhood." "Brother Smith," went on the pastor, "the Lord will reward you, and will increase your business a hundred fold. I, my family, every member of my congregation, I am sur, will assist you. See. I appeal to them, sir." And turning to the congregation, the pastor asked: "Now, everybody present who will help Mr. Smith in his business arise, please." The entire assemblage was on its feet in a second. "The spirit is there, Brother Smith, as you see!" the pastor continued. "May I not with propriety before my flock ask what is your business?" "I'm—I'm an undertaker." stam- "I'm—I'm an undertaker." stammered the stranger. TOLD THE TRUTH UNWITTINGLY. Washington Star: A young colored man, stunningly attired, was standing at the southeast corner of Connecticut avenue and S street last Sunday evening, engaged, so far as could be deduced, in admiring his clothes by the light from the windows of a nearby drug store. Two damsels of ebony hue, likewise gaudily dressed and out for a stroll, approached. As they reached the corner the fashion plate standing there made a sweeping bow and remarked: "Good evening, ladies." "Good evening, Mr. Brown," responded one of the girls; "how are you feeling this evening?" "I'm feeling right conspicuous, thank you," explained the man, in self-possessed tones. "Hugh! 'right conspicuous.'" repeated the second girl to her companion as they moved on. "What do you reckon that means?" Mr. and Mrs. Frank Withers, formerly of Butte, now of Fairhaven, Wash., are the proud parents of a daughter, born on the 8th.

The negro young people's Christion and educational congress is a movement which has behind it all religious bodies and agencies at work among the negroes of America for their spiritual and educational uplift. This congress is to be held in Atlanta for five days, beginning August 6 next, and its central aim is to reach the unreached young negro. A formidable board of directors is at work, and efforts are making to get 10,000 young colored persons to hear the addresses, and to buy the printed reports. Emotional religion may not have been of the highest character in the negro, and may not have produced the best results in the younger generation. Youngnegroes have come, it is said, to think that religion has little to do with the making of character. Opinions held north and south that the young negro amounts to little discourages negroes and whites alike. The congress will aim to combat this opinion. The introduction of new methods will not be advocated, but the putting of greater spiritual force into existing methods will be urged. The congress will aim also to show the young negro that it is the Christian man, white or black, that brings blessings to a country, and wins heaven at last. The list of those who are working for the success of this movement among young negroes in eludes prominent colored workers in vast numbers. The New Age received several copies of sheet music entitled "Dat Black-HcBo-Chile," "On the Grand Ohio River" and a few copies for orchestra, composed by Miss Nora E. Huldings Siegel, of enver, Colorado, the well-known winter and composer. Price 25c per copy. We take great pleasure in introducing them to the music lovers. We also publish in this issue an article written especially for the New Age by Miss Siegel under the name of "Nodie," which should be heartily received by every colored person who reads it. The article is entitled, "No Race Discriminations." The New Age age preciates the contributions from one who is without a doubt a friend to the race. New diseases both of the mind and body are being discovered and classified continually. A Maryland professor has recently proven that from a physical standpoint there is a disease of the mind called "colorphobia," and he has classified it—both its symptom, development and results. We have always entertained the opinion that some people who always and upon every occasion manifest an insane color prejudice—that there was some abnormal condition of the brain. We hope of the scientific world is that the professor will continue his researches until he discovers an antitoxin. He certainly in this country has a wide field for experimental purposes. The Afro-American League should receive the united support of the race throughout the country in their commendable efforts to increase the status of the negro in the national legislative councils. Numerically the negro population of the country is strong, but divisions and internal jealousies have nullified the political strength of the negro nationally to almost nothing. Concentration is the pass word to social success. The political pot is beginning to boil out candidates for the various elective offices this fall quite rapidly. The New Age as the political organ of the colored voters of the state will keep an eye out for anything politically which will insure to the benefit of the race collectively. FREEDMAN'S AID SOCIETY. Closing of the Greatest Year's Work in Its History. Cincinnati, Ohio, Juyly 19.—The Freedman's Aid and Southern Educational society has just closed what is regarded as one of the grandeeat years in its history. The report of the secretary, made at the annual meeting today, shows the largest collections from the annual conferences since 1894, aggregating $105,182. The debt has since been reduced more than $25,000 during the past year, and more than $50,000 in cash collections on the annuity plan have been received during the past two years. The report of the corresponding secretries Mason and Thirkield, show the the schools of the society to be in a flourishing condition, with largely increased attendance and receipts. Five large school buildings have been projectedand practically completed during the past year. Instead of having the work of the society in the hands of two committees during the interim of the board meetings, as has been the case heretofore, the work will now be in the hands of an executive committee, consisting of thirteen members. SALT LAKE NEWS Mrs. B. C. Council is very sick. Mr. B. F. Butts, of No. 502 South Sartarn street, Philadelphia, Pa., spent Monday in the city. Mrs. A. C. Calaway and Mrs. Ida Durham spent last Sunday in Ogden. Mr. W. G. Hoiley, of Washington, D. C., spent one day in the city this week. Mr. Josh Durham is up after several weeks illness, and was able to attend church all day last Sunday. Mrs. Seals, Mrs. Burns, Mr. and Mrs. Thomas is attending the grand lodge of the Knights of Labor in Omaha. A mass meeting of the colored citizens was called Friday night by the Revs. Washington and McIntyre. The Willing Workers will serve meals during the Elks' grand reunion in next month. The Commercial club was opened up last Tuesday with eight or ten colored men. Mrs. A. Thomas was taken to the Holy Cross hospital last Sunday, where she will have an operation performed, as she will be here at least two or three weeks. The many friends should take advantage of visit day and go and see her. Mr. Smith Williams and W. H. Brown are on the sick list this week. Mrs. Hough is unable to be out. Mr. Thomas Reddick and Mr. Grant Smith are out with a private party. Mrs. ames Phelps is confined to her bed. Let us not forget to visit the sick. Miss Mamie Perkins is expected home soon from Little Rock, Ark., where she has been attending school. Her many young friends will be delighted to welcome her home again. Mr. Dallas, who recently came here from Quincy, Ill., has secured head janitorship of Elks building. There will be a misses' drill in the near future. Mr. Thomas H. Frame, the efficient head waiter of Knuisford hotel in Salt Lake City, has favored us with his subscription for the New Age. We take pleasure in adding such names as Mr. Frame upon our list of subscribers. To the New Age: Gentlemen: I have seen several copies of your interesting paper and think it ought to be a constant visitor to every colored resident of Salt Lake City, so please add my name to your list of subscribers. A. Thompson, 325 Thirteenth East street, Salt Lake City, Utah. We are glad to note that many positions in Salt Lake that have been closed against the colored man are being opened to him, and we believe the credit is due to the Revs, Washington and McIntyre, who have worked so faithfully, and by their daily Christian lives they have done much to establish confidence among the best white people of the city that was much needed when they came. They are also doing much in bringing the colored people together, and they are highly respected by both white and colored; and we hope the good work may be continued by them.

Blacks from Industrial Schools Chicago, Ill., July 12.—Two hundred men employed on the six large buildings which are in process of construction at the university of Chicago have gone out on strike at the command of the walking delegates of their respective unions. The grievance which the men have is the employment by the university of 100 nonunion colored steam fitters in the construction of the elaborate heating plant adjoining the campus. A number of colored students are said to HE NEW AGE. have been imported from southern industrial schools, and none could be induced to join the local union. UNCLE ROGERS DEAD TOO. THE AGED NEGRO AND WIFE PASS AWAY AT THE SAME TIME. Spokane, Wash., July 19. The double funeral over the remains of Aunty Cecelia Rogers and her husband, Uncle Jimmy Rogers, will be held from the Washington Undertaking Parlors at 10 o'clock toorrow morning. These well known characters died Meartlima ia oc hTa etaoin hrdluao within a few hours of each other. Aunty Rogers died at the Sacred Heart hospital about 8 o'clock Monday morning, while her husband was found dead in their little shack at 33 Riverside avenue at an early hour Tuesday morning. He died from rheumatism and lack of care. They will be buried a respectable burial. W. A. Aldrich, manager of the Spokane Falls Gas Light Company, started a subscription yesterday morning when he learned that the two had passed away. Last evening he had collected $65. He expects to get $100. The subscriptions were in amounts from 15 cents up. Dean Perine of All Saints cathedral will officiate at the funeral. There will be two hearses, and two old people will be buried side by side in Green wood cemetery. Cared for 179 Children. Cared for by 179 Children. Aunty Rogers was much better known in the city than her husband. As far as can be learned she had lived in the city for the past 17 years. Her early history is unknown, but it is said that her home was at Washington, D. C. She came west about 20 years ago. During the civil war she was a slave, but her freedom was afterwards purchased by her parents. She has told that she was the mother of 15 children. She has said that during her stay in Spokane she took care of 179 children. For a time she was a member of the Salvation Army, but she afterwards joined the Volunteers of America. She eared her living by washing. Her husband was about 70 years of Her husband was about 70 years old. He had been in a helpless condition for the past few weeks from the disease of which he died. At times he was cared for by the county at the poor farm. He was also being looked after by the members of the Salvation Army. Monday evening he was cleaned up and dressed in a respectable suit of clothes, with the understanding that he was to be taken to the county poor house yesterday morning. When those who were looking after Uncle Rogers went to his shack yesterday morning they found him dead. Little or nothing of his history is known. Says They Starved to Dearn. J. S. Charlebois, "general scientist," who is almost as much a character as was Aunty Rogers, says that the old couple really died of want and starvation. "Professor" Charlebois is the little preacher with the A man can save money and feel more comfortable by wearing clothes that fit. The Connell Clothes are all made expressly for us. They fit well, look well and wear well. Prices are little, if any, higher than you pay for "trashy" wholesale clothing. PHONE... IF YOU WANT A COOL ...252 INVIGORATING STIMUMANT long hair and the brown beard, who whisks about town on an ancient bicycle. "I had known Aunty and Uncle Rogers two weeks," said he yesterday. "They were dying for lack of food. I did what I could for them, but it was not much. Finally Aunty Rogers got an order from the county for $2 worth of groceries. She was then so weak from want of food as to be almost helpless and she lost the order before she got down town. She fell from weakness and she was picked up by a policeman and taken to the hospital." "Professor" Charlebois wrote a letter to The Spokesman-Review last evening in which he said in part: "vening in which he said in part: Two weeks ago I was called over by Aunty Rogers to her house to assist her in raising her old man, who had ust failed to the ground. Upon inquiry I was informed that they, with all the children, had been living for weeks with scarcely anything to eat. The old man, she said, was weak and unconscious from want of food. I gave her a piece of money with which she bought something to eat and the old man revived again and was real well. The next day when I called again at 11:30 a. m., they were hungry, but could not get anything to eat. The old man was in such a filthy condition that no one could stand near him without getting sick. The major of the Salvation Army was there. I asked him to help me to bathe the old man, as no one man could do it alone. He said that he hadn't time, but that he would get two men that night to do the work. I called again two days later, but the old man hadn't been bathed. There he lay dying in filth and starvation "Mr. Hindman, who runs a store at 416 Sprague avenue, took a load of pedding to the poor old man, who had been sleeping on a wire cot all through those cold nights, without even a blanket under nor over him. We got him as comfortable as we could and told the Salvation Army people to get an order from the county to get them something to eat. "I have learned since that the poor old man died last night of starvation. He was left all alone in the house since aunty was sent to the hospital." Dillon, Mont., July 15, 1902. Special to the New Age. Mr. C. F. Alexander left Dillon Sunday the 13th for Chicago, to superintend the reproduction of Mrs. Alexander's play, "The Queen of Hayil."

How a Woman Writer Was Escorted Through the Country. Hospitality in Mexico is humorously yet gratefully described by Mrs. Tweedie, who relates her experiences in "Mexico as I Saw it." For hours the train had been pounding along between huge Texan ranches, a dusty and uninteresting journey since leaving San Antonio. Suddenly a man in uniform appeared before the traveler. "Are you Mrs. Alec Tweedie?" he asked. "I am," I answered, with an outward show of courage, although inwardly wondering what offense I had committed. "I have come to help you at the frontier with your luggage." I sighed with relief, thanked him and after his departure tried to go on with my work of manuscript reading. We passed another junction and another man stood before me. "Are you Mrs. Alec Tweedie?" he asked. "I am," I replied, trembling again. "I come," said he, "from the International railway to bid you welcome to Mexico." I asked him to sit down, and we chatted, although not for long, because in a few minutes, "Are you Mrs. Alec Tweedie?" asked a third man. At that I laughed outright. "I come from Mr. Cloete's ranch," he explained, "to look after and welcome you in his name." We began chatting about my recent adventures, when a fourth man presented himself. "Are you Mrs. Alec Tweedie?" he asked. Convulsed with laughter, I could only nod assent. "Mr. Barrett of Sonora asked me to meet you at the frontier and see you safely to Sabinas," was his explanation. So, duly escorted, I went on. He Got His Tips He was a tiny little fellow, surely not more than five years old, and as he called for his afternoon papers at the corner of Twelfth and Market streets many people gazed at him with mingled amusement and pity. He had long brown curls, wet with the drenching rain, and his shrill little voice had a baby lisp. A very stout, elderly woman, apparently weighing close to 200 pounds, paused at the south side of Market street and looked askance at the miniature river of water and at the passing procession of wagons and troley cars. The little newsboy was quick to size up the situation. Running up to her, he exclaimed: "Don't be afraid, lady. I'll help you across." Reaching up his tiny little hand, he clutched her by the arm, and together the ridiculous pair threaded their way to the opposite curb. Then the stout woman opened her purse, gravely handed the little fellow a coin and disappeared into the Reading terminal—Philadelphia Record. Convicts of Abyssinia. In Abyssinia political offenders and obstructionists are arrested, chained and placed on the small tableland of Abba Salama, a high, rocky and precipitous mountain about thirty miles from Adown. So sheer and steep are its sides that the prisoners are drawn up by ropes. Their chance of escaping is impossible, unless they run the risk of dashing themselves into eternity on the rocks below. On this lonely height there is soil on which they may grow grain, and there are wells with good water. There is no speaker to keep order, and they may, if they choose, abuse the prime ministers and crowned heads to their hearts' content, but they return no more to the ways of the world. Roman Candles. In making Roman candles a cylindrical case is taken and packed with a lot of stars. At the bottom of the case they put some of the composition they put in rockets, and on top of each star is some more of it. By mixing certain chemicals green and red lights are produced. Green lights like those used in death scenes on the stage at the theater are made by mixing a great quantity of nitrate of barytes with small quantities of sulphur, chlorate of potash, charcoal pulverized and arsenic.

The Reporter's Revenge. "Do you see that man?" And I observed a rather lonesome person wandering aimlessly about the capitol. Regret was stamped upon his face, and his whole attitude was that of a man who had tried and failed and who had no intention of every trying again. "Well, that is a former representative who called the correspondent of the leading paper in his district a liar. The correspondent did not pursue the ordinary method of retaliation by attacking him in his articles whenever opportunity offered. He simply refused for two years to mention his name in his correspondence. The people at home began to wonder what they sent a man to congress for anyway and finally came to the conclusion that a representative who could not get his name in the paper could not be of much account in Washington. It took 1.400 boats to beat him when he came up for renomination, but they did it all right." -Washington Cor. New York Herald. Cheap Living In Mexico. "Mexican laboring men," says a man who has been visiting in Mexico, "work for 12 cents a day. This may seem incredible, but it is a fact. You see more copper cents in that country and more are used, perhaps, than in any country on the globe. It is not uncommon to see a Mexican woman go to market and buy a cent's worth of wood, a cent's worth of corn or coffee and a stalk of cane. She will make a fire in the center of her adobe house and prepare a meal for the family. They eat cane as we would an apple. The ox cart and wood plow are still in use. The ox teams are harnessed so the pressure of the load comes upon the head, just in front of the horns, instead of the shoulder and neck." In one of the St. Louis Sunday schools the classrooms are separated by glass partitions. A St. Louis paper says that during a session of the school one of the teachers was much annoyed by loud talking in an adjoining room. At last, unable to bear it any longer, he mounted a chair and looked over the partition. Seeing that one boy who was a little taller than the others was talking a great deal, he leaned over, hoisted him over the partition and banged him into a chair in his room, saying, "Now be quiet!" A quarter of an hour later a small head appeared round the door, and a meek scared little voice said: meek, scared, sir, you've got our teacher." **Cooking Fish.** Boll haddock and codfish six minutes for every pound; bass, salmon and halibut ten to fifteen minutes.

The Pacific Hotel company have made a change in their employees, having placed the culinary department in the hands of colored cooks and as soon as they can be obtained colored men will take charge of the diningroom. THRILLING EXPERIENCE Of One of Our Pocatello Boys In an Effort to Reach Thunder Moun- Pocatello, Idaho, July 16, 1902. Early in April Mr. William Hammons, a prominent gentleman of our city, left for Salmon City with outfit for Thunder Mountain. After purchasing everything necessary for the trip he sent back for his wife to join him and she left on the evening train to be by his side in making the perilous trip. They reached Leesburg pass without encountering much difficulty. There Mr. Hammons was taken sick with appendicitis and for fourteen days he laid in the snow seven feet deep suffering untold agony; having been robbed of his entire outfit except a few blankets, and after recovering sufficiently from his sickness to pursue his journey, he purchased a small outfit from parties who were returning from the land of gold, and continued on his journey. Reaching his destination in May he proceeded to locate a few claims, after which he started by the nearest route to Pocatello, reaching here in July, and since his arrival here he has been offered two thousand dollars for one location, which he refused until further development. This is a fair illustration of the untiring energy of the colored men of Pocatello. A well wishes and reader of the Age.

The Crisenda club's inaugural ball which is to be given Wednesday evening, August 6, is looked forward to to be the grandest affair of its kind ever given by the colored people of Montana. The executive committee is doing everything in their power to make the event one that will go down in history. Special invitations are being sent to Spokane, Helena, Great Falls, Salt Lake, Pocatello, Anaconda and several other towns throughout the state. The following named gentlemen have the conducting of the business affairs: J. H. Williams, J. Fletcher, Robert Lawrence, W. H. Springgs, J. E Fletcher, F. Golden. The auditorium is being overhauled and prepared to receive this grand affair. The Trinity A. M. E. church will hold their quarterly meeting and the dedication of their church Sunday, July 20th. The church choir has been reorganized and are preparing special music for Sunday under the management of Mrs. E. D. Washington. Mrs. William Green will preside at the organ. The presiding elder, Rev. James Hubbard, will be present and a grand time is expected. Every one is cordially invited to attend all the services.

The Sunday school was better attended than any Sunday yet, which shows an interest among both parents and children. Special effort at Bethel Baptist church Sunday uly 29, to raise money for the building fund. Everybody are cordially invited to come out and help in the enterprise. There should be a Baptist church here, and those who are going to heaven certainly ought to work for it. Rev. C. C. X. Laws and wife last Sunday were the guests of Mrs. D. Lewis from 3 to 5 p. m. The time was spent profusely in ice cream and cake, which was highly appreciated, and a few minutes after 5 were at Mrs. Sadie Smith's, 711 Broadway, where we partook of the best in the storehouse, which was served in courses and very sumptuously injoyed. Later on we were at the church, where the people listened very attentively to the sermon delivered by Miss Rhodes, the evangelist, which was highly appreciated. Mrs. Al Townsen left this week for Pocatello, where she will join her husband. They will make Pocatello their future home. this week. Mr. Isaac Harper resigned his position on the dining car and left for Pocatello, where he will take a position as chef cook in the Pacific Hotel. The Pacific Hotel company has employed white help throughout until the first of July, when it changed management. Since that time the different positions are being filled by colored people. Mr. F. E. Lewis, the manager of the Oregon Short line dining cars, and the Pacific hotel in Pocatello, has proved to be a friend to the colored people, and we trust that the men employed in the hotel and on the dining cars will show their appreciation by doing their work better than any one else. Let us follow Booker T. Washington's motto: "Do a common thing in an uncommon way." By so doing the field of opportunity will ever widen for us until it will reach from one side of this great continent unto the other. 4 17 East Quartz Wall Paper, Paint and Glass Contracting Painters and Paperhangers PHOTOGRAPHS AND KODAK WORK FLASH LIGHT WORK AND PHOTO BUTTONS. 221 South Arizona Street.

SOUTHERN INDUSTRIAL DEVEL OPMENTS. A conference of prominent men at Atlanta recently brought out some interesting information as to the industrial employment of negroes; but nothing in connection with the event was so instructive as the visit of some of the leading Southern delegates to the Tuskegee industrial institute. The old South was indifferent to industrial training and education, and while there has been some change in this respect, there is still too much indifference to the industrial training of Southern whites. Some of these visitors had their eyes opened to the fact that the Negroes, through the impetus of the Tuskegee institute, are likely to surpass the Southern whites in this respect. One Georgia delegate said: "The results here attained by one man fratify but frighten me. Every thinking Southern man would feel the same way who had seen what I have seen today. Industrial education is a good thing for the Negro, but it is absolutely necessary for the whites. I am going back to Georgia and preach the necessity of industrial training for both races." Governor Jelka, of Alabama, said: "I have always admired Booker T. Washington, and felt that he was doing a great work for the state, but I had no idea that he was coming 55 near to a solution of the Negro problem." The reports made to this Atlanta conference show that the Negro is making great progress as an artisan, and through this industrial training is gradually and quietly winning his way industrially in the South. It is perhaps not generally known that there are scores of smaller but similar institutions to those at Hampton and Tuskegee, founded by graduates from these schools. The results are so satisfactory, and the influence of the industrially educated negro is so wholesome, that the whites have become much interested in the industrial education not only of the negroes but of their own race as well. So it is coming to pass that a movement inaugurated by a colored man primarily for the benefit of his own race is to be extended and is in fact being extended shrdlu shrdlhrdluta being expanded for the instruction and benefit of the white race in the South also. Booker T. Washington has revolutionized sentiment among his own people, and exerted a powerful influence upon the whole race in that section of the country also. The negroes are no longer altogether mere cotton pickers and common laborers, but are becoming skilled mechanics, trained farmers, men and women going out with not only the ambition but the equipment to become home builders and state builders; and their success has been so marked that it has stimulated the whites to the adoption of similar methods. And so, after all the despised negro, erstwhile a slave is a chief factor in the new development and upbuilding of the South. What is stated to be the oldest ship in the world has recently been sold at Tenerife to be broken up. This is the Italian ship Anita, of Genoa. She resembles Christopher Columbus' ship Santa Maria, was built in Genoa in 1548, and effected her last voyage at the end of March, 1902, from Naples to Tenerife six or seven weeks ago. The Anita was of tremendously stout build, and had weathered countless storms and tornadoes in all parts of the world; but, says the Shipping World, it was also the slowest ship afloat, taking 205 days on one voyage from Baltimore to Rio de Janeiro. Oldest Ship Afloat. NEGRO CITIZENSHIP! THERE CANNOT BE TWO GRADES OF CITIZENS IN AMERICA. NEGRO ADVENT NOT VOLUNTARY The White Man's Sense of Justice Has Been and Still Is the Chief Force Influencing Laws and Customs Favorable to Colored People. Editor Freeman:—If there ever was a time when the colored citizens 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 priniciple. 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. J. M. HENDERSON, M. D. 2224 Fitzwater St. Philadelphia, Pa. Texas, the Lone Star State, would seemingly be one of the last states in the Union to which our race should look to for a long step forward, Still it is the unexpected that always happens. Down in Texas, it would appear that they have a set of men in the supreme court who are endowed by God with that greatest of all blessings, common sense. Robert Smith was recently convicted of having murdered a white woman. He was sentenced to death. Fortunately for him, and fortunately for the colored race, he was able to carry the case to the highest court in the state. There it was argued that because twelve white men sat in the jury box they were prejudiced against the accused because he was black and the woman he was accused of killing was of the jury's race. Lawyers laughed at the plea, but the men of the bench did not and a few days ago rendered a decision holding the plea well-taken and the conviction illegal because the prosecution in selecting the jury had discriminated against colored men Smith was ordered set free. This may not be law in other states, but it seems to be common sense, and the Smith & Mattingly's HIGH CLASS SUMMER Shirts In All the New Fabrics of the Season Now on Sale.
