Hulns Siegel, Denver Colorado.) All roce papers please copy. A warning to the colored population of the United States against the Philippine colonization scheme should be published in every colored people's paper in the country. At the heart of the scheme there is meant no good for you, my dear friends, and I warn you to look into the project well before entering it. I have been watching the underlying reasons for the war in the Philippine islands and wondered who would next be called upon to offer up their lives to the greed and lust of financiers. Those islands have been won to them by the blood of the innocent adventure-loving young men, solely through the hardheartedness of the money kings for their own agrandizement, and what good to them think you, would the islands be, with the wealth of that vast partly submerged region left untilled? None, and cannot be, unless it be peopled by a submissive ribe. The natives of that country have mostly gone down to death through defence; therefore, more must be supplied or await years for the few remaining ones to multiply. Doubtless the picturing of those partly tropical regions to you is and will be very bright, by minds hired for the purpose. They employ the natives as a serpent and as harmless as a down attitude, men who have not lived there, the capacity that you will be called upon to experience and who could not be hired so to do, are therefore not honest, competent judges or that which they strive to interest you to take part in. You surely have not forgotten the misery your ancestors suffered when brought into civilization and subjected to slavery, and that is nothing to what awaits you over there. The conduct of this scheme seek to have you and care nothing for your good, for they look upon the whole colored race as only a "lot of cattle. Indeed they laborers with that brand. To swell their own bank accounts is their one aim in life, and as money buys power today, so do they who deal in money. Lives are nothing to them. You my colored friends are a prolific race, as all races in their youth and unwisdom are. You are also a hardy one and easily submissive and happy. These are your God-given endow, ments; so use them in the upbuilding of your own homes, right here in the United States, and do not for a moment be caught by the glamorous tales these would be. If you go there to colonize go armed with intelligence upon the matter. Go with the understanding that you will be set down in a wilderness with water all about you and no means of escape. (Don't be tricked to go, as many came to this country, during the time of the "Turnbull" colonizing fraud to Florida.) First thing to do would be to send a number of envoys over there of your own rate; men that you know may not be bought to work against you; who will look intelligently into the whole scheme, both sides and will render a just report. Go in small numbers, or alone; not in droves as sheep to the slaughter, for that is how it will end for many of you under the most favorable circumstances. You were brought here against your will. You have acquired, by virtue of your inate patience, the ease of civilization. You are as free as possible for the present stage of your mental unfoldments. The ignorant are the only barbarians and superstition their king. Not manny years ago a colonization scheme was set afoot to entrap the poor unwary Swedish people. This came about under my own eyes. They were promised a certain number of rods of land each, and good houses to each family. This land was situated in a good fruit and garden locality in the beautiful Cumberland mountains in West Virginia; so the emigrants were lead to believe. The description was all very fine and many were entrapped by it. Each person must pay a stipulated sum of money and all they need do was to emigrate to their new homes and find the house ready built to receive them. What did they find upon their arrival? A tramp of twenty miles over a mountainous road to a mountain side, rocky and baren, except for an occasional forest tree, late in the fall, and the to-be comfortable dwelling, a mere long sheep stable, or three sided shed built of the roughests of green lumber, which was divided off into stalls—a stall for each family. They had no floor and no front. They fared well to what you may do in the philippine islands, for they came to a civilized country, not far from established communities. What did those confidence trixturs care for the welfare of the poor ignorant Swedish emigrants? Not a tithe! They had their money and that was what they wanted. Well, the poor taings could not stay there because of the close approach of winter, so they dispersed; some going to one adjacent town and some to another to battle with poverty and an unknown tongue. Was the hand of God in this? Good came out of it for the innocent ones, as good comes out of all things. They were compelled to reason, to learn, to think; the time had come for a two-fold step to be taken in their advancement, as nature does not permit one part of the globe to progress far in advance of another. All must come up comparitively together. What grand lesson is to come out of the Philippine colonization scheme for your race? The story of Johna's warning to Ninnevah (Mat.t12:39) is not so "far fetched" after all. If you will not learn here you will be tossed about like a ship at sea with- put an anchor till you learn. Though those deluded souls who trick you are in a far worse state than yourselves, does not make your case less important and direful. Though they be Judasies does not lighten the necessity for your learning the grand lesson that is in store for you, and prophecy that that lesson will come to teach you self-establishment. You is a race are not self-centered; you lack stability, backbone, as the Yankees term it, who are today the greatest lot of people on the face of the earth. I tell you again, and I shall keep on telling you that you are a grand race; one pregnant of more good than is at the present dreamed of, and you must educate! educate!!! If you go to the Philippines, go not in ignorance, but in wisdom. Watch what I tell you—cultured negroes will not go over there. That is not the object! The object s, to transfer brawn not brain; transplant servants, not masters. There is naught to hinder negroes colonizing right where they are and become separate in society, if the object is separation. Wisdom will not be needed over there until the wealth of the country has been thoroughly and satisfactorily manipulated for a few. Were the Boers allowed to remain in peace? No! money ousted them. What was the wisdom that they must be taught to serve a lessons? and have they learned it yet? I fear not. Progress must travel onward. Progress may not be retarded by a rope, like as with such the Indians were known to try to stop a western-bound train a few years ago. Natural laws may not be set aside. If you trim a tree in one place it shoots out in another more abundantly. Cut off its top and it springs up from the root in many places, thus multiplying its forces against future assault. Just so with the human tree and in addition to the physical body the auman tree must use his mental faculties and after that his spiritual mind. In order to develop anything it must be put to its best use. You better use all three faculties in civilization than in a desert. But you must hurry up! You are not developing fast enough. These are quick times. Omnipotence will allow your removal to a place and state where you will be compelled to bring forth more abundantly; not after the white man's model, however, but after the black man's. Your own original forces must be developed. You are grandly worthy, and if you do not do it here "Angels and ministers of grace, defend us" from our own unworthy opinion of ourselves and from our belittling opinion of the great and good God whose work must be done in and through us, his children. All this reasoning, my dears, in behal of yourselves does not, and the good that may come to you after many years of suffering will, not excuse nor forgive the manipulators of the cause of it. Their intention remains the same, that is, for our own benefit. Of course, in time good will come out of it as it came out of your enslavement. "Truth crushed to earth will rise again." But greater good should come of your remaining here where you belong. If the present government was by and for the whole people, as the founders of it intended it should be, the investigators of these colonization fraud ousiness would be punished severely, instead of allowing any person who has a tract of baren land to dispose of to sell it to dupes, and the fraud so general and lawful that no one thinks of exposing it. 'Tis another proof that ignorance must suffeffr the penalty of its own enslavement. You have more right to the south than the white people living there today; for by your brawn has the country been cultivated during the ceneury since its settlement. The white people there grew shiftless and helpless through your caring for them, and if right instead of might ruled, they would recognize this fact. If they imagine they can dispense with your aid now they are vastly mistaken, for they need you far worse than you do them. Turn your attention now toward cultivation of your intellect and soul forces and before many years have elapsed the white people of the south will extend to you the glad hand. They are the ones at fault and not you, and they need a severe lesson in another direction. Education and culture is your only way out of the dilemma and is of more benefit to you than this imaginary Philippine wealth. If you enmigrate to the Philippine islands then good-by so the intellectual development for many years to come. Stay where you are and educate. Become intelligent masters of your own destiny, not pigmies. Refuse to be buffeted by every perverse wind that blows. "Father, forgive them, they know not what they do." I wish all a happy and prosperous new year. NODIE. Anaconda Standard Publishes more State, Telegraphic and General News than any other news paper in Montana or in the Northwest.

Dun & Co.'s Week- \y Review of Trade last week says: Domestic trade and industry contin- ue to prosper, while the fuel situation as grown less disturbing through the special efforts of transporters, aided no small degree by mild weather. Distribution of other products has been restricted by the discrimination in fa- vor of coal, and shippers are impor- tunate. Clearance sales are about ended, leaving only small stocks of winter goods. Advance business in spring deliveries is very heavy and fall contracts are also placed liberally. in most cases where there is no delay on the fuel account, manufacturing ‘plants are busy, though cost of ma- ‘erials and labor is very high.. Firm vrices for finished products are con- sequently to be expected. Favorable returns of railroad earnings are con- stantly issued, figures thus far avail- able showing an increase of 6.7 per cent over last year and 17.9 per cent over 1901.

THIEVES SECURED BOOTY \L- UED AT $960. Echo Is a Small Place 10 Miles N¢th of Colville, Wash.—Two Robbergin the Deal—Money Stolen Was THre for Safe Keeping—Tall and SI Man—Store in Isolated Distrii Colville, Wash., Feb. 4.—At o'clock at night R. E, Watts, nb ‘chant and postmaster at Echo, miles north of this city, was held and robbed by two masked men. T! secured booty valued at $960. Wi had closed his store and was build: a big fire in the stove to keep building warm when a knock at door attracted attention. He rais the bar placed across the inside of door, when the strangers, evident customers, walked inside. One, a tall man, shoved a revolve in Wat's face, stating the business h and his fellow thug meant to trat sact. Watts obeyed the order on up.” ‘The short man proceeded to ri ‘the till and then searched Watts, wh had money on his person, Few work passed. The strangers said nothiy on leaving and left no clue. They being heavily clothed agaii winter weather, and there being ie light in the room, Watts did not si the masks on the men until threat were made. | Most of the money stolen had bee deposited for safe keeping ‘The fact that one robber was tal and the other short adds interest « the case, as the same comparison wa made of the men who robbed Davi Micel, a farmer in the same neighbor hood, about two years ago, and als of the two who robbed the Bossbur railway depot about the same time. Ni clue was left to identify the robber in any of these cases. ‘Watts was alone at the time of th robbery. The store being in an isc lated country place no one was nea to be given the alarm and make chase Many well traveled roads center there on any one of whicn the highwayme: might escape. The store has no tele phone communication. It i¢ considere’ strange that Watts did not notify th sheriff, He gave no information abou the postal funds. In any event the} would be light. Watts has been 11 yusiness there about six months. FOR PRESERVATION OF SEALS. auestion to be sanen Up With Great Sra.

In a single year, he sald, 30,000 seal pups had died on the isl ands from starvation, due to the kill ing of their mothers at sea. Unless summary measures were adopted the seal herds would be extinguished. He said the alternative of ordering the extinction of the herd in the event of the failure to nogotiate a modus vi- vendi was “® remote contingency.” Mr, McClellan called attention to the fact that the majority report on the pending bill had been signed by the late Representative Russell of Con ‘necticut, Mr. Gillett of Massachu- setts and himself, There was no ob- jection, he said, to the first four sec: tions of the bill, which proposed to re- new negotiations for the preservation of the seal herds in Alaskan waters He quoted Professor David Starr Jor. dan, Senator Morgan and a Secretary Shaw against the bill.

Every person subject to catching cold should take Peruna at once at the slightest symptom of cold or severe throat at this season of the year and thus prevent what is almost certain to end in chronic catarrh.

It was a brilliant affair and was well attended, the officers who were installed for the ensuing term will be given in our next issue. Mr. E. J. Brown, the renowned Chinese impersonator, who went to Seattle a few weeks ago to fill a professional engagement, took suddenly ill and is now under treatment for heart trouble. We hope to hear favorable news stating that he has recovered. Mrs. Lucas spen, Monday night in Anaconda, returning Tuesday, together with Mrs. Frank Walker, Mrs. Henry Norman, Miss Duff, Mr. Lucas and Mr. J. Woodson, who attended the lecture before returning to the Smoky City. In our last issue we published an article by Misses Nora Hullings Siegel, entitled, "A Warning." For lack of space we were unable to insert the whole article. As it is one of great importance we deem it proper to republish the whole article in this issue. Some good, energetic and reliable negro has a good chance to get on the police force in the coming campaign, as well as one or two other positions. So you must commence work now, or you will be too late to be admitted to the pie counter. Mrs. Burnside, who for some years past has resided with her daughter, Mrs. George Willis, has taken up her residence with another daughter, Mrs. Lucas, on Idaho street. It becoming necessary for Mrs. Lucas to have some one to manage her domestic affairs. This speaks well for a business built up against great opposition in oute, in a year. Mrs. Lucas is an astrologist and scientific card reader and her place of business is frequented by swell as well as the professional set.

The New Age is planning for a special Easter issue, and in this will be our purpose to publish an account of the social life in Butte, Helena and other cities throughout the state. We would be pleased to give space to every secret order in the state and the doings among our club women. Mr. Waler H. McMurray and Mrs. S. Reed were quietly married last Monday in Anaconda, Rev. Jeffries of Sioux City, Iowa, officiated. Both parties returned to Batte and have taken up permanent abode. They are at present stopping with Mrs. Slocum. Rev. Jeffries gave a lecture last Tuesday evening at the Baptist church and took for his subject, "Courtship and Marriage," and delivered an able address upon that line. While some of his remarks were humorous, yet they were full of every day facts. Rev. Jeffries favors the proper method of true mating rather than the passion of love. He stated many points of great importance to those who seek the kingdom of matrimonia. Be sure that you are mated, then go ahead, is his idea of marriage life. He left Wednesday morning over the Burlington for Sioux City, and expects to return in a fortnight. Rev, and Mrs. J. Allen, Meadames French, Fagan, Burside, Johnson, J. Brown, Scott, Wilson, Willis, Lucas, Birthright, Nelson, Jacobs, Misses Berger, Simington, Nelson, Messrs, Johnson, Croft, Willis and Burside marked the latest milestone in the life of Mrs. Frisby last Friday night, by giving her a surprise and presenting her with a beautiful parlor lamp. The surprise came near being frustrated by the appearance of one George Willie upon the scene too early in the evening, without being able to give a plausible excuse for such action. Retribution overtook him, however, when he was dragged around in the snow by the air of his head and the business end of a broom worn out on him by the indignant ladies and was compelled to do further pennance by being hitched to a sled and delivering to Mr. J. W. Wilson one load of perishable goods after the party broke up. Choice refreshments were served, and the eneening spent in listening to prognostications of future success for the whole crowd, as foreseen in the grounds of the teacups by Mrs. Johnson and Mrs. Wilson. The Afro-American Women's club celebrated their first anniversary by a ball on Wednesday, February 4th, 1903, at Elite hall. Mrs. J. Bullet had charge of the programme, which was highly pleasing, and greatly enjoyed by all. The club opened by a recitation from Miss Williams, (the favorite of Abraham Lincoln) "O! Why Should the Spirit of Mortal be Proud?" Mrs. Ross sang in a sweet contralto, "I've a Longing in My Heart for You, Louise," with violin and piano obligate. The recitation by Mrs. S. Reeves, "Unwritten History," touched a popular chord in every heart and was enthusiastically applauded. Miss Ida Nelson sang, in her ever bewitching style, "Perchance." Reading of Journal, by Mrs. Lee Bell. Mrs. C. P. Smith sang in a highly cultured voice, "When the Tide Comes In." Mrs. S. Jones, the president, delivered the closing address, which was listened to very attentively. The subject was taken from the club motto, "Lifting as We Climb," or the uplifting of womankind. She showed how much good has been done in the past and how much more they hoped to do in the future. After thanking all for their attention, the exercises closed, and dancing began with Mrs. J. I. Jacobs as floor manager. Mrs. Jordan Curd presided over the punch table. Mrs. S. Scott assisted by Mrs. Reeves had charge of the ice cream department. Mrs. S. Jones and Miss R. Jackson had charge of the supper table. There were other ladies on the committee, whose names we did not learn. The hall was beautifully decorated in the club colors, of pink and white, and all members wore their badges. The only omission we noticed was the club motto, "Lifting as We Climb," which, being such a grand one, should have appeared in a conspicuous place. Taken all in all, from an intellectual and social, and financial standpoint, the Afro-American Women's club's first celebration was a grand success and was largely attended. Principal Booker T. Washington of the Tuskegee Norman and Industrial Institute, has recently issued circular letters announcing the twelfth annual Tuskegee Negro conference, which will convene at Tuskegee, Ala., Wednesday and Thursday, February 18 and 19, 1903. The letter reads as follows: My Dear Sir:—The Twelfth Annual Tuskegee Negro conference will convene at Tuskegee, Alabama, Wednesday and Thursday, February 18 and 19, 1903. You are doubtless aware of the object of these conferences, i.e., the discussion of best ways and means for the betterment of the condition of the Negro of the South. More and more the moral, intellectual and industrial condition of the race will engage the thoughtful attention of those who come to Tuskegee from all parts of the country to study these questions at first hand. The reports from different parts of the South, particularly from the State of Alabama, touching the needs and progress of the race, are always helpful and suggestive of Tuskegee Negro conferences. If for no other purpose than that of listening to the reports and to the valuable suggestions made, you and your friends—in short every Negro—ought to try to be present at these meetings. Bring your family. The school will see that you are entertained without cost to yourself. Will you not help us extend the invitation all over the South? You can easily do so if you will tell THI NEW AGE. all of your friends of the apoaching conference. I am sendir you two other letters like this. Will you not, in the interest of the rache your letter read in your next church meeting, or before any large body which meets near you? The twother letters might be addressed, by pu, to persons in other community and thus the news will be carried everywhere. Kindly let me hear freo you at once. Further information may be secured by addressing Mr. WJ. H. Booher, our Negro Conference agent, or by writing to me. SHOCKED BY THE SOUTHERERS. Gen. Booth's Party Criticised for Their Demonstration Toward Negros. Little Rock, Ark., Jan. 31.—an affair occurred last evening on the Pullman private car "Rambler," occupied by General Booth, of the Salation army, between Memphis and Little Rock, which is destined to become a noted incident in the racial conditions just now attracting so much attention throughout the country. The story was told here today by several reputable citizens, who came to Little Rock on the same train, and is corroborated by Maj. Fred. Cox, the officer referred to. He is General Booth's secretary, L. N. Livingston tells the story in this language: "The party of Salvation Army officers were in a private car attached to the rear end of Iron Mountain train No. 83, which leaves Memphis at 8:50 a.m. Some distance out of Memphis a party of them came through the train into the negro coach, where they were told that they were in the wrong coach. There were five men and one woman in the party. One of them, an officer of some kind, then began preaching to the negroes, and when he got through I heard him say: 'Now, I will show you my love for your race,' and with that he put his arm around a black negro and kissed him. I saw him. Then they went back to their coach. The Salvation Army people were all traveling on free transportation. The news of the affair soon spread through the train, and there were many mutterings among the passengers. There was no active demonstrations, but some suggested that the offending salvationist should be thrown off the train." THE DAUGHTERS OF TABOR Emma Granins Tabernacle No. 32, Butte, will hold their anniversary reception at their hall on Friday, February 13. Owing to the small seating capacity of the hall a limited number of invitations are issued. A program pertaining to the order and light refreshments are the prime features. Washington, Feb. 4.—Senator Hanna today introduced a bill granting pensions and bounties to all ex-slaves who were freed by the proclamation of President Lincoln during the war of the rebellion. It provides that persons over five years of age, and less than sixty, male or female, shall receive a cash bounty of $100 and monthly pensions of $8.00 per month; persons between sixty and seventy years of age, a bounty of $300 and a pension of $12 per month, and persons over seventy years of age a bounty of $500 and a pension of $15 per month. The bill also provides for the payment of the bounty and pension to relatives who may be charged with the care of ex-slaves. The press agent says: Among the modern plays classed as melodramas are quite a number, and in the front rank of the list stands "Down by the Sea." The classification of this play among melodramas does not imply that it depends upon the continual drawing of knives and pistols to entertain. Such plays as "Shore Acres," "Way Down East," and in fact, any play in which the story involves the ever-interesting passions of love, jealousy, hate and revenge, are melodramas, and the name of melodramas should not be misconstrued by comparisons with the unnatural, exaggerated clap-trap, so commonly known by that name. "Down by the Sea" is one of the few high-class melodramas on the stage of the present day. It is healthful in tone, clean in dialogue, and teaches a moral lesson. The attraction will be at Sutton's Broadway tonight. "The Heart of Maryland." David Belasco's most complete example of dramatic work, "The Heart of Maryland," which has met with an unexamined success for the last seven seasons in the principal American and European cities, will be the attraction at Sutton's Broadway for three nights, starting Sunday. Marie Drofnah is Charles B. Hanford's leading woman this year. She will play Katherine, in "The Shrew," and Beatrice in "Much Ado About Nothing." During his engagement at the Broadway Mr. Hanford will present "Much Ado About Nothing" Wednesday night and Thursday matinee, and "The Taming of the Shrew" on Thurhsday night. THE ELITE Dancing Academy Socials every evening with Wednesday and Saturday Matinee. Pensions for Ex-Slaves AMUSEMENTS Charles .B. Hanford. 117 DAKOTA ST. SULTAN'S FORCES DEFEATED IN AN ENGAGEMENT WITH THE MOROCCO REBELS. MINISTER OF WAR KILLED Fighting Among the Tribes Also Proceeding in the Vicinity of Tangier and the Population is Greatly Alarmed and Asking for the Protection of Warships—Tribesmen Unsuccessfully Attack a Village. London, Jan. 14.—The Tangier correspondent of the Morning Leader reports serious fighting outside of Fez. He says the sultan has been defeated and that he escaped to the westward. War Minister Menebbi, one of the sultan's strongest pillars, was killed. All the consuls, excepting the British representative, have left Fez. Fighting among the tribes is also proceeding near enough to Tangier for the shooting to be heard in the city. The population of Tangier is alarmed and is asking for the protection of warships. A local pasha took out a force to restore order, but he found it impossible to proceed, and has returned to Tangier. TWO MILES FROM TANGIER. Tribesmen Attack a Village Defended by Moorish Troops. London, Jan 14.—In a dispatch from Tangier, dated Jan. 13, the correspondent of the Times says: "A serious fight occurred today two miles outside of Tangier. Several hundred tribesmen attacked a village defended by only sixty men. The attacking party was repulsed and four of the number were killed. The fighting may be resumed at any moment. It does not involve any danger to Europeans, but it shows that the Moorish government is paralyzed by the rebellion and incapable of maintaining order." BATTLE LASTS THREE DAYS Venezuelan Rebels Fail to Take the Town of Cumana. Caracas, Jan. 14.—About 1,100 revolutionists under General Manuel Morales attacked Cumana, in the state of Bermudez, on the 4th, 5th and 6th of this month. Cumana was defended by 500 government troops. On Jan. 6, after a hard fight, which lasted for seven hours and which was witnessed by the British cruiser Tribune, the revolutionists abandoned the field, leaving 300 Mauser rifles and 29,000 cartridges behind them and 200 of their number prisoners in the hands of the government forces. The statement has been obtained from rebel prisoners that if Cumana had been taken the revolutionary leader would have allowed his soldiers to sack the town for eight hours. The revolutionists have been very active for the past week, knowing, as they do, that if the blockade is raised their cause will become more difficult. WILL PAY THE EXPENSES. London, Jan. 14.—In a dispatch from Rome, the correspondent there of the Daily Mail says: "President Castro, through the United States, has informed the three powers that he is disposed to pay the expenses of maintaining the blocking squadron in Venezuelan waters on condition that the blockade be raised immediately. He does not object to their warships remaining in Venezuelan ports. "Italy is disposed to agree to this proposition, but she will be guided in her reply by the decisions of the other powers." WILL AMOUNT TO $150,000,000. What the Transvaal Will Give Toward the Cost of the War. Johannesburg. Jan. 14. — Colonial Secretary Chamberlain and the leaders of the mining community here have arrived at an agreement in the matter of a financial settlement. Under this agreement the Transvaal war contribution will amount to $150,000,000. A guarantee also will be given for an imperial loan of $150,000,000, which is to be expended in reproductive public works in the Transvaal and in the Orange River Colony. An understanding was also reached regarding the labor question. It is believed the imperial government will consent to the importation of Chinese laborers for the mines. KILL INNOCENT VILLAGERS Chinese Troops Massacre Twelve Hundred Persons. Victoria, B. C., Jan. 14—Mail advices from Hong Kong state that the rapid spread of the insurrection in South China is due to the excesses of the imperial troops of Marshal Su in Kwangsi. Marshal Su sent a force to avenge the death of General Ma, who was ambuscaded and executed by the rebels, and his force massacred 1,200 innocent villagers, while the rebels were engaged. Noted Carriagemaker Dead New Bedford, Mass., Jan. 14.- George L. Brown, the most prominent individual manufacturer of carriages in the United States, died in this city during the day at the age of eighty. He was the first man in the United States to manufacture the old fashioned two-wheeled velocipede. Governor Hunt Reads His Message Governor Hunt Reads His Message. San Juan, P. R., Jan. 14. Governor Hunt personally delivered his message at the joint session of the legislature during the day. He recommended little legislation and no radical changes, so as to better and more fully test the laws now in operation. J. P.
