CHICAGO, Ill., July 17.—Through the favor of Mr. Emmett J. Scott, I have received and read with much interest and pleasure his new book, entitled "Tuskegee and Its People." Whatever is done or said about Tuskegee and its distinguished president instantly becomes a matter of public interest. This new publication has come to us before public interest in "Up From Slavery" and "Working With the Hands" has begun to wane. Judging from the world-wide interest in "Up From Slavery," as evidenced by its translation into EMMETT JAY many languages and favorable comment from competent critics the popularity of this most recent publication has been anticipated. "Tuskegee and Its People" is a stirring volume. It is the work of many authors, ANOTHER RACE RIOT HERE ANOTHER RACE RIOT HERE QUELLED ONLY WHEN RESERVES FROM 15 STATIONS ARRIVED.

Last Friday, evening occurred the second time in New York City within a week. The fire in the territory bounded by 71st and 72nd streets, Amsterdam avenue and the North River. As on last Sunday, the fire was infilated by the whites; the Afro-Americans again rallied intrepidly and succeeded to the aid of their as-called klansmen more than hold their own in the battle and again the police seemed to draw the line in their arrests, taking into account Afro-American men and three Afro-American women, against only three whites. A notice of friendly courtesy on the part of Henry Williams, an Afro American, was the cause of the disturbance "Old Mercury," a white "Of Co" man, fear- ing the wrath of the district would women attacks upon him, asked company of Williams, his who resides at 222 West 62d Wilms kindly consented, and the treaty of their together.

Out of this kind of edu- Even the Afro-American women took a hand in the battle, and, like, the disheveled Menads who marched on Versailles during the French Revolution, gave the authorities more trouble than the men. Three of the women were arrested, after putting up a frantic offense. They were Marie Husted, Lille Henderson and Grace Lewis. At 10 o'clock, as the violence of theray had not greatly abated, the reserves of thirteen other stations were called out, and now 131 officers, not including captains and sergeants, were embattled. By 11 o'clock the streets were quiet, but not before several other arrests were made. Henry J. Lee, butler for John H. Abeel, was knocked down and kicked and chased by a white mob, to his employers' residence, where he drew a pistol and fired over his pursuers' heads, with the purpose, he said, of frightening them off while he made an entrance. For this he was arrested. Arthur Lye, William Riggs and John Westley, all Afro-americans were also "bullled." Commissioner McAloo, who arrived at 11 d.m., issued the following statement, which would be inexplicable, considering that whites have been the aggressors in both the recent riots, did we not know how the police department is infected with color- blindness: "In my opinion these riots spring up after a great deal of preliminary trouble. Usually children are responsible. A colored man, for instance, will attack a child. There is sure to be a white man to take the child's part. The negroes rally around the man of their race, and the whites are only too willing to gather and resent it. It will be noticed that the commissioner comes to lay down the general rule, that in these riots Moe Americans take the initiative.

Miss Anale Kelley, of New York city, is the guest of Mr. and Mrs. Walter Halsey. cation, he asserts, "there will be created by the Negro and for the Negro a complete and indestructible civilization that will be respected by all whose respect is worth having." Again, "There should be no limit placed upon the development of any individual because of color, and let it be understood that no one kind of training can safely be prescribed for any one race." In nothing that Dr. Washington has written are his ideas of industrial education more strongly and clearly stated. A striking feature of this introduction by Tuskegee's Principal is the generous and deserved tribute to the worth and efficiency of his friend and executive secretary, Emmett J. Scott. In his manifold duties he has recognized in Mr. Scott, "a valued friend and counselor in matters of the most delicate nature, exhibiting in emergencies a quality of judgment and diplomatic cleverness seldom found in men of even ripe maturity and more extended experience." The five chapters following Dr. Washington's strong introduction bear the titles: (1) "Present Achievements and Governing Ideals," by Emmett J. Scott; (2) "Resources and Material Equipment," by Warren Logan, Treasurer; (3) "The Academic Aims," by Roscoe Conkling Bruce; (4) "What Girls are Taught and How," by Mrs. Rooker T. Washington; (5) "Hampton Institute's Relation to Tuskegee," by R. R. Moten. It would be a good thing if the thousands of people who have erroreous opinions concerning Tuskegee could read Mr. Scott's chapter, wherein he shows that "behind all of the more tangible manifestations of work, skill and achievements, there is an unseen but persistent grouping after the higher ideals of life and living." And, again: "The student of Tuskegee is continually taught to look up and forward." He learns that the idea of beauty can be actualized in home and social life; how faithful performance of every duty means nobility of character and the high honorableness of all kinds of work well and honorably done. In every possible way it is impressed on the mind of every student that "there can be no liberty without intelligence, no independence without industry and no power for men and no charm for woman without character."

It bears that Harvard finish and, fine understanding, of his responsibilities as head of the academic department. No one can read this chapter without feeling a higher respect for the academic training that is a part of every student's equipment. As Mr. Bruce says, "The very industries at Tuskegee presuppose a considerable range of academic study." Again, "That would indeed be a sorry program of education which blinked the fact that the student must be rendered responsive to the nobler, ideal of the human race, that his eyes must be In color are of quality live and to by the end to opened to the imminent values of life. If a clear title to forty acres and a mule represents the extreme upper limit of a black man's ambition, why call him a man?

The M Street High School is for colored children and the Bancroft is for white men. Human nature is human nature whether it is hidden under a white or a black skin. And so, when trouble, the offspring of this human nature, made entrance on the school stage of the District, it drew no color line but bowed itself upon the scene to colored teachers and to white teachers alike, touched others as it were with both races most impartially. The trouble at the M street High School is at least two years old. The trouble there is between the principal on one side and the director of high schools and about a half dozen of the teachers on the other side. Feeling on both sides has run high, and the battle has raged for mastery hotly enough at times, during these two years. This struggle culminated last December. In charges preferred by the director of high schools against the principal and an investigation into the same by a committee of the board of education. Through the whole winter and spring the investigation dragged its slow length along. Principal and teachers and the director of high schools were summoned before this committee of investigation and testified, some in support of the charges and some in refutation of them. There were direct examination of these witnesses and indirect examination of them. The nervous energy which the investigation consumed on the part of the prosecution and the defense and the committee itself was enough, if it could have been utilized for men a purpose, to restore the normal balance to a hospital full of nervously diseased people. And there was real suffering beides, mental and physical overstrain, care and anxiety by day and care and anxiety by night, on the part at least of one little woman, who was the storm centre throughout this prolonged and probing investigation of her lightest words and acts during a period of three years. It seems that there was nothing she had said during that period, and in line of her duty, as the principal of the M Street High School, but some one had made a note of it to her hurt, nothing that she had done but there was some one ready to recall it to her injury, before that committee of investigation. Her heart dropped blood in that committee room night after night, and she has come out of the ordeal with her face, her soul, scarred as if the hot iron of ten bitter years had passed over the Now, after so much investigation, after so much travail, what has been done to the board of education having been in vast commotion for months, pray what has it brought forth in the way of a settlement of the proverbial issue. Only that and nothing more. The board of education has now adjudged for the summer. Before the adjournment the committee has decided upon the proper position of the results of its work for months, returned to, it no findings in the case of the director of high schools, or does it, the principal of the M Street High But something was done by the board of education in consequence of the trouble at that school, and that was the proper mouse, which had been offered to another school, increased salary to another school of one of the teachers who assisted the director of high schools to make good his charges against the principal. This does not mean that the charge preferred by the principal against that very teacher, the consideration of which was at the time pending before the board. Another of the teachers was promoted. This transfer and those promotions in the premises must be taken as the mouse, which the commission of investigation has brought at the end of seven months of travail, into the troubles of New High School. Nobody did not this committee of investiture find out whether the charges against the director of high schools against him amounted to six months? Did the committee find more time to probe more deeply into the matter? Does it ask for more time to its investigation? Are what is the trouble at the M Street High School? Does the committee know if the public has a right to be involved on the subject. In the principle, the director must not treat him with a right to demand the dismissal of the principal. If Director the teachers allied with him in the bottom of it, then the director must never eventually be right to be dealt with in the board of education. The decision that event, ought to be discussed in the public school service of the district, each one of the discipline, and the use of the M Street High School ought to count much more with the board than the personal fortunes or in that school of its principal or in that school of its department. Let us have justice, then, through the fall. For evasions, mere skilts, settle nothing permanently, and settlement of the troubles of the school and has a right, to demand, at hands of the board of education. Nother than have the troubles of the Eastern High School been any more satisfactorily with the board of education. Here we are in the principal or in the pupil. It rested with the investigating committee to ascertain its location, and to fix responsibility upon some one for the origin and destination of the problem. It was appointed on the 23rd of Inst Max, when large body of the students raised openly the standard of insubordination. The acts of disobedience of this body of students disgrace notorious. They trampled up the school building, and its discipline, denied all authority for the time being. The school became in consequence for a whole day completely organized. We had happened? Company P of this school had won on the 24th of May the contest in the competitive drill with the Central and the Western High Schools. The morning the members of the school in no need for study. They were for the contest in no need for study. They were for the contest in large numbers. In front their building for that purpose. But we let the investigating committee what took place after the opening of the school had arrived. And here When the opening hour arrived, many still remained outside of the building, waiting to the door and notified them the hour for opening school had arrived, intended to take them into the place congratulatory of their parents. While some of the pupils obeyed the principal, a large number, of the students, entered a number of the girls, entering the building, parched the hours being afterward returned to the school. under the command of their military in direct violation of their laws, received through their certain streets of the sece the Eastern High School is the Maury, Edinburgh, and Hildon. They carry out calls disturbing the exercises schools mentioned to a central. At the expiration of the day they returned in a body High School, entering the military through the halls under the direction of their officers, they arranged them: ```markdown ``` After reporting similar set of group in- ordination, the committee completes its "In our compersion with the schools of this District there has never come under our notice such evidence of an utter disregard of authority nor a greater degree of subordination to action of school relations exhibited to the school relations referred to, and we think that the board should capture its strongest condemnation of what has taken place. If we are to tolerate such action, on the part of the school, we must public schools, on matter by whom they have acted, nor by whom such action may be justified, we might just as well close our doors at once, as the schools, instead of being models of decorum and discipline, would be closed, instead of disorder, subordination, and a disregard of legal authority." Could the board of education have possibly devided a more lame or impotent continuation? That committee issued the petition ourselves? That committee reported board instances of gross misunderstanding in the Eastern High School. The board bore testimony thereupon "to the high personal integrity of a principal," and integrity as a teacher, and then concluded to remove the principal! Was ever board of education guilty of the abuse of the whole history of public education, in the District of Columbia? What, pray, is the matter with the board of education of the District of Columbia? And, with this subject for the present, President *Hamlin*, of the board of trustees of Howard University, has given his advice to the platoon, and of his unarmamentiness in the same role as well. In the first place, in naming the seven members of the committee which the board authorized him to appoint to the staff, he was appointed a whole week. And in the second place, he so constituted it as to put just as many of Dr. Gordon, friends on it as he would have had in the third place, he appointed to the chairmanship of the same a man who was out of the city at the time and who Dr. Hamlin must have known could not, for the sake of his own safety, have known this committee for nearly two weeks after its appointment. As a matter of fact, Dr. Gamshet, the chairman, did not call Mr. Hamlin, but after Dr. Hamlin was authorized by the board to name the members of it. And then, because of this delay, and the non-committal attitude of the committee at its first meeting, a role to secure barely a quorum, and owing to the evil, a week later, from the city of several other members on their vacation, the work was necessarily postponed until September. Dr. Hamill may consider such tactics smart. But they are not smart. For the president against his brother-in-law President Gordon, but fans this feeling, on the contrary, into fresh fame against the Hamill-Gordon combination, which seems bent on misleading men miles their calling, and Dr. Hamill sadly missed his when he went into the Christian ministry instead of into city police, such a boss in the riche business, such a city boss, the most eminent of them, need not have been ashamed of. CAPE TO CAIRO R. R. PROGRESS. Highest Bridge in the World Now Spans the Zambeel River. From the Alexandria (Egypt) Gazette. A most important link in the line from the Cape to Caliro was formed on Saturday week when the great bridge—the biggest in the world—over the gorge at the Victoria Falls, on the Zambezi River, was connected another link in the Cape to Caliro Railway initiated by the late Cecil Rhodes, crossed the Zambeil for a distance of 650 feet at a height from low water level to the rails of the bridge. The second highest bridge in the world is the Vinduct du Vlaar. In France, 375 feet, The bridge was built by an English company on the glider pattern. It is constructible from a single sheet of steel. The work was commenced simultaneously from both banks of the river, an electric-motor cable with a span of 1000 feet, an electric motor with a span of 1000 feet, carrying the material from one side to the other. The bridge has ten bays in all, and the rate of construction was estimated at 100 feet per hour. The operations may be judged from the fact that the slightest deviation from a level would have been productive of considerable damage, as the bottom booms have been bolted up. The Cape to Calico Railway is an endevour to connect Egypt with South Africa by a line of 5,700 miles long. From the Cape to the coast, there is a distance (allowing for the river gap between Assuan and Wady Hafra) of 1,400 miles. In the south good progress has been made north of the Zambesi, on the section between the Victoria Falls and the Victoria Falls to Kalaema, the administratrice centre of Barotaland, a distance of 100 miles. From Kaloma the line is to be continued for another 250 miles in a northward direction. From Taman yika there will be two lines, one through the Congo and another though German territories. CAFSE OF BULLOCK'S INJURY. Not His Color, but Because He Was Best Player, Matthews Was Told. Henry Bench Needham in McClure's. With the Dartmouth football team of 1003, which at the season's close defeated Harvard, was an end-rush, a colored man, by the name of Bullock. He was a player who knew and played the season out, would have left college with a great reputation as an athlete; as it is his rank is high. Dartmouth lined up against Princeton, and in the very second scrimmage of the season broke consensus of unprejudiced opinion in that he was intentionally injured. Now, Bullock is an Andover man, and Matthews, Harvard's colored athlete, took Bullock's injury made him Andover. He both deliberately injured Bullock because of his color. (There is a strong Southern sentiment at Princeton.) Matthews has a friend on the Princeton eleven, Burke, the quarterback. He has with Matthews at Andover. To Burke, Matthews confided his grievance. "You've changed. Tommy, since you were at Andover." "What do you mean, Matt? asked Burke, "At Andover you used to say that race or color does not count; it is the stuff in the man." I stand by that now." Burke replied. "No, you don't." Princeton doesn't believe it, and I'm afraid you have Princeton's ideas." Matthew then referred to intentional injury done Bullock and added: "You put him out because he is a black man." "We didn't put him out because he is a black man." Butuck replied with indignation. "We're coached by the opposing team, the opposing team and put him out in the first five minutes of play." The school is a very large school with many classrooms. The school is very large and it is very busy. The school is very busy. The school is very busy and it is very busy. Who knew Wheaton had Phonetician? From the Mindville (vom.)

As a whole it is a plunging, rightous, when, and timely discussion of one of the most vitally important sociological problems that confront the American people." The Boston Transcript—"Dr. Stirchau has written of the citizenship of the Negro not only as he must and does it, but as it appears from the point of view of history." The St. Louis Globe-Democrat—"It is a work that points immensely vitality. The reader will be likely written, and should prove of interest to the readers of both masses concerned." The Columbia (B. C.) State—"The book possesses a real value. **** It is, perhaps, the finest and best expression of the point of view of a Negro that has been published." The Indian Times-Starr—"As a work of reference the broad scope of the book makes it valuable." The Army and Navy Journal: "Dr. Sinclair discusses earnestly but calmly and with frankness, intelligence and philosophic spirit the essential elements of what is commonly termed the Negro question. He is fair and plain-spoken in his plea in behalf of his race, which he contends, is entitled to a larger measure of justice, typically and encouragement than it has yet received, and he makes out a case which reasonable men will recognize as deserving."

PAR VALUE, $10.00 MATURITY VALUE, $16.00 Bonds Mature in 1915 The Bonds are issued in the convenient denominations $10.00, designed for those wishing to invest from time to time small amounts. All Bonds mature in ten years, and are guaranteed an annual interest of six per cent payable in April and October of each year. The Company has arranged to issue deposit slips to those who are not in a position to pay cash for the Bonds when bought, which will be held by the purchaser until the Bonds bought are paid for, at which time the Bonds will be delivered. In addition to this the holder of ten Bonds or more will be allowed to surrender at any time from one to three, and receive the amount in cash. They may also make special arrangement for a shorter time than is required to mature the Bonds. This will enable investors to make a six per cent, guaranteed investment and still keep their money subject to their withdrawal, just as though it were in the bank. In making these arrangements we believe that we have thus devised the most satisfactory method for parties of small means to invest in our securities, ever offered to our people, and we trust that they will take advantage of our liberal terms.

As in the disturbance of Sunday week, the Afro-Americans got the worst of it with the police, although on both occasions the whites were the aggressors. The enthusiastic preference shown Afro-Americans by the police—as marks for their clubs and objects of arrests—is scandalous, but no longer strange; that is, since we learn that the rank and file of the force is but putting into practice the opinions which obtain at Headquarters. Of all the examples of ignorant and impudent prejudice, there is nothing which outgoes Commission McAdoo's jaunty motivation of race riots. Attempting to instance a typical case, he said: "A colored man strikes a white child, for instance. This is resented by a white man," etc. How the Commissioner, in face of the fact that the riot just then queelled was provoked by an attack of white boys upon a Jew peddler under the protection of a kind-hearted Afro-American, had the forehead to issue such an explanation, pass our, understanding. Dollighted by an Insult to Himself. - In those pleasant old days before Emancipation, it was a shrewd stratagem of the slave-drivers, who well understood that one may rule by using part of his subjects as catapult against the others, to foment jealousies among the slaves and employ them against each other. Sometimes one of these was found no short-lighted and despicable as to take sides with his oppressors against his fellows in blood and misfortune, and to gloat unnaturally over the irons loaded upon them. This servile vice engendered by slavery perishes disgracefully in some present day. Afro-American, as a recent act of the editor of the Boston Guardian shows. When Dr. Washington was engaged to deliver the Fourth of July address at Montclair, N. J., the aspersion was spread that some of the firemen of that town refused to march behind the Afro-American orator; and this reported instance of prejudice in a Northern State was soiled upon as a delicious morsel by rabid. Negro-haters like Thomas Dixon, Jr., Tom Watson and Ben Tillman. They were not more overjoyed, however, than was the editor of the Guardian whose delight over this alleged snub of one of his own race was unbounded. The editor of the Guardian, like the renegade of slavery times, does not see that this reported affront was aimed not at an individual of the race but at the whole race; and that in rejoicing about it he was guilty of hurrying because a blow had been laid upon his own checks. Secretary Taft's Opinions on "The Law's Delay." In addressing the graduating class of the Yale Law School recently, Secretary of War W. H. Taft spoke upon the question of the law's delay, to which he attributed much of the lawlessness which prevails in all parts of the Republic. We don't believe in the soundness of this conclusion, which is used as an excuse by everyogue who takes the law into his own hands, and by that section of the press which sides with the lawless element because it fears, to damage its subscription lists. The law's delay has very little to do with the prevalence of crime by individuals, and especially by mobs, but Court procedure and the innate deprivation of human nature, stimulated by reckless newspapers, ever ready to enter to the inob, hoping to gain a Judas penny by so doing, are very much responsible for it. On the question of mob law, Secretary Taft had the following to say: Our country is disgusted by the number of lynchings that occur both in the North and in the South, and excuses are sought for the hospi and fendish cruelties perpetrated by mobs in such cases in some other cause than the delays of justice. Instances are cited where the mob had executed men whom they had every reason to believe were about to be justly punished under the law, to show that an improvement in the criminal procedure would not prevent lynchings. But every man of affairs who has studied the subject, at all known, that if men who commit crime were promptly arrested and convicted there would be no mob for the purpose of lynching. A mob, after it has been organized, loses all conscience and cannot be controlled, but it is the delay of justice that leads to its organization. Nothing but a radical improvement in our administration of criminal law will prevent the growth in the number of lynchings in the United States that bring the blush of shame to every lover of his country. This is a monstrous view of so grave a question for Secretary Taft to take. There are no facts in the horrors of mob law in the North or South to justify it. Take Ohio, for example. The law's duty had nothing to do with the lynching of Clint Mitchell, at Urbana, a few years ago, nor with the lawless outbreak at Springfield last year, when men were murdered right and left and their property destroyed by a mob keyed up to the bided in the law, in a very great measure, in the case of the mob spout in that in which other men would plead their own misfortunity. In the Southern State "the judge may lay" argument has and a lay to court upon. The white control of the trial ordinary of the law by a code of law has impress on his face, within the Federal Supreme Court white, at increase of the character and party affiance of the secretary Taft have not the courage and honesty to denounce it on a frequent justice upon the whole American people. In the operations of this vile code of laws one southern white man has more influence in the Government than five Northern white men—a greater and more unjust advantage than obtained under the slave code of law. Under the present code the denial of the franchise leads to denial of the right of jury service; the two lead inexplicably to denial of trial by jury and the subtraction, logically, of trial by the mob and humanity from punishment of the individual of the claim not distranchiled by law for any crime he may commit upon the person or property of the prescribed clam. From this irrefutable statement of the case Secretary Taft must acknowledge that his labored argument is made of ropes of sand, and will do much to encourage rather than to restrain mob violence. He did not intend to have this view of the subject bear this construction, and more's the pity. Not excuses, but bullets, are needed for the mob. Boras College. If the Afro-Americans of Kentucky do not watch matters closely their children will not only be barred from attending Berea College, but the race will loss its share of the endowment, given with the understanding that they would be permitted to attend that institution. Rev. Dr. Barton, of Chicago, a trustee of Berea, writes an annual letter to the Boston Tr transcript describing conditions there, and we notice that he is inclined to let the Afro-American down gently. In the first letter he appeared to be greatly wrought up over the question; in the second, he intimated that the college might be compelled to keep him out of the college altogether, and in the third, he declared that it is his belief that he will not be received any more at Berea. There are not a few members of the race who have been convinced that it is the settled policy of President Frost to get rid of all Afro-American students. There are not a few who go so far as to say President Frost is in favor of the new law. There are some who even say that he suggested the enactment of the law. Afro-Americans in the State of Kentucky should take steps to see that their rights are protected. Prejudice Against the Jews. The United States is the last place on the globe where prejudice of race should exist in obnoxious form, because the people of the United States are notoriously mongrel in their ethnic composition, a compound of every sort of people on the globe, and because we make offensive boast of the democratic character of our institutions and the fulness of our education and Christian brotherhood. We carry this boast around the globe, wherever an American trayels. We have seen it exhibited obtrusively and offensively in China, Japan and the Philippines by Americans, who treated with contempt and disdain the natives of the country of which they were for the moment guests. Indeed, instead of being the most cultured and refined people on the globe, it is a safe conclusion that the American people are among the most coarse, vulgar and conceived, at home and abroad. They are so free in their thought and action that they do not think that others have just right to be free at all, and they act as they think. Prejudice against the Jews in the United States is almost as general and persistent as it is against the Afro-American people; but it is displayed less, because the Jews are among the wealthy people of the country and know how to advance themselves by properly directing their wealth against those who offend them. A. T. Stewart and his estate were in this way made to lose millions of dollars, because the Jews were told that they were not wanted in the Stewart hotels at Saratoga Springs. A correspondent, evidently a Jew, writing in the New York Sun, complains that many hotels are announcing in their summer publications that Jewish patrons are not desired. He does a powerful lot of kicking, and we do not blame him, as hotels are public places of accommodation and should not be allowed to discriminate against patrons on account of race. Character and deportment alone should be the tests. Race prejudice in the United States is doomed to eat grass. Reason of That 1,001 Years' Sentence. From the Redlands (Cal.) Colored Citizen.

KISS ME, GENTLE MAIDEN. And the moon shall witness be I love you and, you love me,— Kive me, gentle maid! their political ideals and will continue to work for the improvement of the nation. This is the aim of the Reconstruction governments. The aim of the Reconstruction governments is to improve the nation's health, the problem of the political balance, which we want to maintain in human society, to all the wars and organization problems which we intend to solve the life of the people—a question which I regarded as the highest and the most important. It is true, in a major sense, because of the immense application to the development and move the race in the two decades I have lived, which of the politicians, a section of the Afro-American people it may have been common to do during, always and vividly by all sorts and conditions of men, but which was a kind of men who did the things their hands were to do with as much health and loyalty as possible under the communist and the democratic and the democratic rather than the obvious which has been and is kept upon them. They were not always educated people; their political ideals were not high, because their ideals must had not set them high, ideals in any of the relations of life, and who associated with them in the chapters of the Reconstruction governments were not always of high or ideal ideals, but they strove as bravely and faithfully to maintain the civil and political rights, which had been conferred upon them by the victorious Nation as the defended Southern Rebels strive to cripple the workings of the Reconstruction governments and to destroy the Afro-American's civil and political rights. These men who in civil life and in church and state made such history as the Arore Americans have from 1855 to 1860 were born and educated in the school of slavery no very good school for any sort of man to be educated in. They acted according to their light, according to their education, according to the influences which touched their immediate lives in the new relations that surrounded them in a condition of freedom. They were guilty of many errors of the head and heart; but were the Southern white man of the period guilty of none? There was much corruption of government among them and much vicious legislation; but were the Southern whites guiltless of such corruption an assimilation, arson, ballot-box fraud, in the effort to destroy such government as there was, and in the conduct of which they positively refused to have any part whither? Of the two sorts of corruption which was the more harboured and reprehensible, that committed under the forms of law or that committed outside the forms of law? And yet these men and women who came out of slavery did a great and lasting work in the industries of the Southern States. In the work of character building in the school and the church, in creating for themselves a marriage relation and a home where none existed before, in keeping alive in the breasts of the people the love of civil and political liberty without which no people are worthy the respect of mankind. It will be well for the race if the generation now taking the place in active life of their slave-born and educated fathers shall build steadily and wisely on the foundation they laid out of their enforced ignorance and the hard conditions which surmounted them. The schools of the Southern States have been graduating thousands of Afro-Americans since the Civil War. Millions of dollars have been expended in this work of education. Northern philanthropy alone contributes above $200,000,000, while a larger sum has been contributed from the public school funds raised by taxation of all of the people. What has the harvest been? It is a common lament of a class of white men more despicable and perilous than an army of vipers that the vast sums spent from philanthropy and public taxation for the education of the Afro-American people have been a waste of money, as education made the Afro-American a worthless creature, spoiling thousands of cornfield hands and domestic servants who have found no higher and better place in the life of the Southern States. This would be a fearful thing, if true—a paradox in education which could apply to no other people who have been lifted out of the slough of ignorance and superstition by the magic wand of mental and moral enlightenment. If the lamentation were not as usulative, insistent and solemn as that Isaiah lifted up among the Hebrew children it might be dislumished with a wave of the hand or a sweep of the pen; but that it is false to the core and used to discredit the Afro-American people in the eyes of mankind outside of the Southern States is sufficient to compel those who know the facts constantly to labor to uncover the base and malicious character of it, as it is possible to crush error only by heaping truth on the broad back of it. The millions of happy Afro-American homes, bound together, by legal marriage ties as well as affection, created since the War; the 35,000 school teachers; the 10,000 presachers; the 1,500 physicians; the 1,000 lawyers and journalists; the army of farm owners and storekeepers—all these, created since the War, are rapidly morphing the character and social status of the Afro-American people to some approximation to the regiant high standard of American living and thinking. If the spirit of higher living and thinking is not to be found in mental and moral education where is it to be found? And if the rule does not apply to the Afro-American people, as it does to all other people, why is it that those who oppose the race in its aspiration after better things than it learned in the school of slavery are so persistent in their efforts to hamper the normal development by restrictions upon their civil and political rights intended primarily to destroy the self-respect by systematic humiliation of the people? But it is a maxim in philosophy as old as evolution that oppression is the chief element of human development, because it breeds resistance, and the measure of progress in any given case will be dependent upon the strength of resistance offered to oppression. Turning aside for a moment from the thousands of men and women born during and since the War of the Rebellion, who have been educated for the work of life in the high school of freedom, let me single out one person, because for the moment he is in the public eye, as an example of the character of the results we have got from the millions of money expended in the education of the Afro-American people since the War. The Appletons, of New York, have just issued a volume which is appropriately called "Tastepeace and Its People." This work was built together in all of its parts by Mr. Emmett; Jay Scott, well known to the reading public as private-necessary to Dr. Boker. T. Washington, I shall deal with the work, as Mr. Williams has their military academy and the military academy of the United States. The whole body of the congressmen in charge of these congressmen, the congressmen were involved, I do not guess by any definition, no congressional president and no documentation, while some congressmen is not only admitted but dissolved. Mr. Scott was born in Tezu and was assigned in the army of Benjamin and at Wilmington University of Maryland, Tuscaloosa. That he had the latter interest for purposes, publishes and friend Bishop I. B. Scott, into editor of the Southwestern Oratory Advocate, was a fortune to circumstance, for the rest of his career Scott was no return to the university Mr. Scott was assigned in the Missouri department of the Missouri Body Food. He hit this Southern town who could he that the presidents which would have come to him in the rival course he denied him, and began the publication of the Fugue Proseon, one of the best and closest newspapers under Mr. Scott's management which the race has possessed. It was when he was conducting the Fugue that I met Mr. Scott, while on a lecture trip in Tezu, in 1864, and became interested in him. He accompanied me a great heat on the trip, and I learned to know and to appreciate him as a man and a friend. The appreciation has since their increased many field. In the campaign Tordegrigio to the National convention of 1890 Mr. Scott was selected as the private secretary, of Nords, Wright Cunser, the Warwick of Texas politics, and one of the strontium and brained men who ever lived. When Mr. Scott went to Tuskegee as the private secretary of Dr. Boogier T. Washinton he was a very young man, but he was capable and he was not afraid of work. In that position in the past five years he has constantly grown in mental and moral strength, so that to-day he is regarded by Mr. Washington as his personal friend and advisor in all matters that relate to the many interests in which he is interested. Pidibility and trustworthiness are prime elements in the character of Emmet Jay Scott. Modest in his manners, mild in his speech, he has a grasp of affairs bewildering to those who are unable to master the thousand and one detail which enter into the responsibility of a captain of industry in which thousands of people are employed and millions of people are handled. No man in the Tuskegee work, except Dr. Washington, has a more thorough mastery of it, and a greater measure of responsibility in the conduct of it than Mr. Scott. It is not strange that a man of Mr. Scott's abilities should have had many advantageous offers to leave the Tuskegee work, but so far he has declined them all, feeling that for the present at least it was his part to hold up the hands of Dr. Washington in the Tuskegee work. In the chapter contributed by Mr. Scott to "Tuskegee and Its People" entitled "Present Achievements and Governing Ideas," there are some sentiments so philosophical that I shall quote some of them here, as showing the spirit of the higher life in education which is the mainspring of the alms of Dr. Washington in the conduct of his educational work. I make the following excerpts from Mr. Scott's chapter: 1. "Yet behind all of these more tangible manifestations of work, skill and achievement, there is an unseen, persistent gripping after the higher ideals of life and living. No one can remain long on the grounds as an intelligent observer without understanding that the things that are not written in the catalogue and are not a part of the daily program of activities are real, vital, and of great importance." 2. "The stagnant life of resturches has awakened, and is casting off the bonds. A new term, 'intelligent thrift,' has come into its possession. Wherever this term has gone and taken root, there has gone with it the thought that unless the idea make for character, as well as for more cotton or corn, it is not of much value." 3. "The Tuskegee Idea always asks one question, and that is, 'What are you?' and not 'What have you?'" 4. "A man must first be conscious of being a gentleman before he can be recognized as such by others." 5. "For the majority of our students the perspective of life is narrow; many of them never lived out of the community in which they were born. That was their only world; their ideals of life were shaped by their mean and narrow environments. They have learned to believe, and act accordingly, that the best people are all of one complexion, and the worst and poorest people are all of another complexion. There is no such thing as creating a sentiment of race pride in such people unless they have set before them living examples of their own race in whom they can feel a sense of pride. The school teaches no more important lesson than that of cultivating a sense of pride and respect for colored men and women who deserve it because of their character, education and achievements." 6. "In a section where those who work with their hands are marked off by the inexorable line of caste from those who work with their brains or not at all, this idea of making intelligent work more honorable than intelligent, idleness is of constructive value in race development." 7. "Hope is strength, and discouragement is weakness. Everything that is false and unjust and wrong in transitory. Those who are brave enough to solve problems are more honored of mankind than those who create problems which they make no effort to solve." 8. "There can be no illiteracy without intelligence, no independence without industry, and no power for man, and no charm for woman, without character." These extracts will show the habit of mind habitual to Mr. Scott, and explain how he has secured such a splendid place in the confidence of Dr. Washington and in the Tuskegee work, which has wrought mightily in the education of the Afro-American along lines entirely new, to them before the coming of Samuel Chapman Armstrong, who breathed it into Mr. Washington at the ifampton Institute, even as Dr. Washington has breathed it into thousands of his brethren through the Tuskegee Institute. The spirit of the higher life in education is abroad in the land, and in the world, and if the essence of it be aspiration after perfection, it is well for the Afro-American people that out of the conditions of freedom they have had born unto them a man like Emmett Jay Scott—one of the best examples of the new as contrasted with the old Afro-American. A. F. Brennan, in his memoir, wrote that the American government was so apprehensive to the Islamic government that he prefers to be the only country that he all the most. Indeed, Brennan wrote that the poor disapproved that one of Afghanistan's representatives was A. F. Brennan. Mr. Morrison has always been held in the highest opinion by the District of Attleboro, on a private opinion and so a business man has our own highest opinion. Nothing, however, that he has entered this new role of rose leader and adviser, we restore the right to call him to account. One of the points of the meeting in which Mr. Herdson participated reads as follows: "Any discrimination need simply be on race or color in both homeland, we can not how he believed it be by custom, experience or fellow-townman. Mr. Herdson, subscribing to and indicting the above declaration, when he is the owner and manager of what is said to be the barber-house, will not allow an African-American has ever had a share or a hair-cut. The people of Atlanta are going to watch with interest and see whether Mr. Herdson will be prosecuting. If he is in arrest he will abolish all race discrimination in his shop at once. This movement of removing race discrimination and prejudice can be made, and here in Atlanta with the removal of race discrimination in the shop of Mr. Herdson. He will not only abolish it, but he will do discrimination has been abolished, even though it has been maintained heretore by "custom" or for expediency. This new movement may be misuse in their intentions, but your correspondent, with many others believed that it is simply a subterfuge, a riled short of the police's authority, who is trying to accomplish something, who has and is doing something and can at least show tangible results. That great stress was in aid upon "manhood-rights." If we are to judge all by that which we know of Mr. Herdson, we have some doubts as to the accuracy of their interest in Mr. Herdson, who is trying to accomplish himself here at home in affairs where in "manhood-rights" were involved. We think right and just to be able to go from home posting as leaders, when the facts in the case reveal that they do not interest themselves in the affairs of their fellow men in the African-American has ever had a share or a hair-cut. Let us repeat with emphasis that If Mr. Herndon is shecere and really intends to practice that which he is here expected to such men as Dr. Proctor, Dr. Bowen, Mr. Cromman, Mr. B. J. Davie and others welcomed into his shop, from which they are here, and who are expected to expediency or prejudice." If these men are in earnest and want to help, the race, instead of being "whinners, and are planing to retire," up their progress of retard its progress, we believe that no better place to right here in Atlanta can be selected to begin this great move of smoother progress, and to open solely on color of skin" in America and giving "manhood rights" in the fullest meaning to the Negro. Since Mr. Herndon has subscribed to the declaration of the Negro, he will open his doors to the Afro-American or let him stop presuming to lead and advise, preaching a doctrine or principle which he knows to be true.

St. David's Fresh Air Home. During the torrid time of summer, the activities of St. David's church are directed chiefly to conditioning its summer programs. The church is located in Silver Lake, White Plains, N. Y. It is surrounded by verdant meadows and resilient to the north lie the placid waters of Silver Lake, and the lush foliage lying in the valley, the charming and retired village of White Plains. It is among such surroundings that the children and adults are encouraged to the supervision of the rector, Dr. Clifford vosart; and the matron is a woman possessing both executive ability and a thorny sense of workings of such institutions.

Self-Uplifting Must Be Our Atm If We Are to succeed The Relief Society of Bethany Baptist church of Brooklyn gave a reception and dinner last Thursday night.

Smith as toastmaster, and he, after a few remarks, introduced Mr. Samuel B. Scottron, who spoke on "The Among other things, he said." "The Negro has advanced rapidly and seemingly beyond all comparison. He is moving along with the age, and it would be impossible or him not to advance. He is moving forward, and he is contributing for him to show that he is contributing to the force that moves things: that he is not dead weight, simple ballast, clinker in the furnace, but good coal, affording him the power to initiate or to initiate? If so, what does he propose to do or to be? These are all important questions which he must answer, and which will take years to settle in the minds of his people. The Negro's welfare are evidences of his goodness, but must this be accepted as proving anything creditable to me? What can the Negro do for himself, and what is he doing? are these the same of these lies the future of the American Negro. Neither crowding the schools that the white men provide for us, nor praying fervently in the churches which their doctrines are complete evidence of our equality, but rather what we shall do for ourselves, and the help we shall be to others. Had I not seen the fruits of Hampton, Tuskegee, and like Negroes, I would have doubtful of the Negro's ability to keep most of those races older in the arts, etc." Other speakers were Rev. S. W. Timm- s, F. H. Giraud, F. H. Giraud, the officers of the society are: Hattie Dhillima, president; Mary A. Barnard, president; and Josephine Armstrong, treasurer; and Josephine Armstrong, treasurer.

Open All Night. jun 1-3 mwc Talking about Fred Lawrence Dunbar's new volume of poems, "Lyrics of Sunshine and Shadow," the New York Book Company's literary reviewer says they are more of sunshine than of shadow. Mr. Dunbar's poetic imagination is slender but sloven. He can an excitation wear in verse the mood of twilight mystery that for the average man possesses as the poetry of life, but he is at his best in simple ballad measures, writing of the common jaws of health and out-of-doors." This does not place a very high estimate on the poetic work Mr. Dunbar has so far done. It is highly probable that Mr. Dunbar, like a vast majority of American singers, does not possess the epic faculty that sweeps all the settings of the harp, and is infert and surrept when, confined to the simpler lyrics and hallata of life. How far this will carry him "down the grooves of time," provided he produces no higher work than he has, remains to be seen. Sustained power in poetic writing has apparently become a lost power among men; dus, if it be so, to the theory laid down by Lord Macaulay, that poetry and a high state of literary cultivation and civilization are incompatible. The infant condition of the race, when the imagination is sharpest and most excitable, and a crude condition of society, are, so be thought, necessary to high poetic conception and execution. Be this as it may, the refinement and civilisation of the past century appear to have acted as a continuing blight on high poetic effort and as stimulant to much if not high prose work, which culminated, so to speak, with the Elizabethan poets, many of whom will rank high in the literature of the world. That Dunbar has written lyrics that will insure him a secure place in the anthology of American poets is a glory-worth the deprivation, sickness and disappointment which have marked the career of the black poet. Charles W. Chesnutt will probably have a higher and more permanent place in prose writing than Dunbar will have in poetic writing, mainly because the former writes in a higher atmosphere of American thought and action than Dunbar. All of Mr. Chesnutt's conceptions are high, and his work has the polish and the finish which usually characterize high ideals. His education and environments were different from those of Dunbar, as well as his ancestry. Dunbar thinks and writes as an American black man, for the most part, and there is always present in his work—the melancholy note, and the tropical profusion which are a part of the African nature, as far as I understand it; while Mr. Chesnutt thinks and writes more as an American, from the broad standpoint of country rather than of race. In "The Marrow of Tradition" instance, it would not be easy to tell that Mr. Chesnutt is an Afro-American by any bias disclosed in his work, while a white man could not have written Dunbar's "Sport of the Gods," simply because he could not feel and think in the language of that book. Mr. Chesnutt shows in his literary work that he takes very lofty ground, without limitations of race, which is not always true of Southern writers of the present school. The broad, humane note so often struck by Mr. Chesnutt is present much in the work of Joel Chandler Harris and Frank L. Stanton, and appeals to the race rather than to a race group. Strangely enough, the name of Phyllis Wheatley is spoken of by Afro-Americans oftener than any other writer they have produced. This is done much in the way that the average person speaks of John Milton. They know of her name, and that is all. They have never read anything that she wrote, the most of them, and take it for granted that she stands in a class by herself. Perhaps she does, but not in the sense that Milton does, for while he stands at the top of the masters of verse, and is soldom read, Phyllis occupies a seat very near the bottom, and is read by not one in a million. This is no discredit to her, because she had very indifferent opportunities of education and did not possess a poetic imagination, but rather a poetic fancy, which enabled her to say things in verse which could have been said as well if not better in prose. But she was possessed with thesad experience, got in expatriation from native land and kindred and subjection to a condition of slavery, which induces a melancholy temperament and oftensen seeks expression in song or story. She will always occupy a high place in the thoughts of the Afro-American people because she was among the first of them who invoked the numbers that echo song. The New York Evening Post has done a graceful thing by publishing a fair and generous news article on the beginnings and the work of the White Rose Mission, which we took pleasure in reproducing. The AoZ recently. It is the only settlement work of its kind in New York. It was first in the field, because its founder, Mrs. Victoria Earle Matthews, was wise enough to see the need of such a work, and self-sacrificing enough to struggle on with it through good and evil report, and when it was difficult beyond imagination to secure the money necessary to keep the work going. She was fortunate, however, in having her a body of race women as earnest and self-sacrificing as herself. They have done a vast deal of good, and they deserve a generous support. We have no sympathy with the organised effort to supplant the White Rose Mission Work being made by some white friends who have become interested in settlement work among the Afro-Americans of New York. There is room for all in the work, and the pioneers should not be showed aside by the new-conserv or for the new-conserv. They should rather work together in harmony. Anybody who lives in the District of Columbia has ample opportunity to study Let Mr. Tyler pay a visit, to Howard University and have a chat with Prof. Kelly Miller and Prof. L. R. Moore; let him spend a moment in the justice courts presided over by Mr. Robert H. Terrell and Mr. E. M. Hewlett and keep his eyes and ears open; let him visit the Aimstrong Manual Training School and see the results for good wrought by Prof. W. Bruce Evans; let him step into the office of the Register of the Treasury and into the office of Recorder of Deeds of the District, and Register J. W. Lyons at the Treasury, and Recorder John C. Dancy at the City Hall—all these will show him without speaking a word that they are out of the rut. We could name a hundred more, but to what end? And why does Mr. Tyler insist that Dr. Washington has a black skin? Mr. Tyler says further: "The plain truth of the matter is, the great white race does not care to halt in its progress for the black hordes, the yellow hordes or the brown hordes to evaluate a standard of mental and mechanical proficiency. Nature put the Japanese in one class, the Niger in another. The white man had his distinctive place in the great plane of development allotted long ago. Because Mr. Booker Washington happens to be a most estimable, well educated gentleman and there are a few others with a black skin like him is no reason why we should take our hats off to his race, the Chinese or any other 'gentlemen of color.' A study of the skinmen of most of the people that white personal object to reveals that it would not be possible to penetrate their brain cavities with a dose of class courses, even were these loaded and fired from a chokehole shotgun. The average Japanese is impractical as an American citizen, the Negro improbable and the Chinaman impossible." Poor Nature! How many absurdities are spoken in thy name! And the off-color races have nothing to hope from white men of the temper of Mr. Tyler, and the world is full of such, but will go on up the ladder of hope and success until such time as they have so developed that a union of them will compel the respect of white men who think as Mr. Tyler does. If Mr. Tyler will study the skulls of the men I have here mentioned and those of any Japanese and Chinese he may be able to get at. he will find that he is more worried about them than they are about him, and that they have managed to have things penetrate their brain cavities, never dreamed of in Mr. Tyler's philosophy. T. THOMAS FORTUNE BOYCOTT ON IN JACKSONVILLE. "Jim Crow" Car Lines Lose Money Trying to Conv Afro-Americans to Ride. Special Correspondence of THE AGE. Special Correspondence of JACKSONVILLE, Fla., July 15.—The Jacksonville company has issued by the Lieutenant about thirty days ago and put into effect on July 1 has caused the Afro- American citizena to boycott the cars of the Jacksonville Electric Company. Joyce B. Cox, the North Jacksonville Afro-American, the North Jacksonville Krailway Company, all the work it can do. About five years ago the city council passed a "Jim Crow" street law which was never enforced, so that no boycott went on. A boycott went into effect your correspondent has not seen a dozen Afro-Americans on the white car lines. It is said that an Afro-American who rode on these cars a few nights ago was taken off the car by a number of Afro-Americans and thereby beaten up. About three months ago a young colored lady who refused to give up her seat to a white woman was thrown off the car by the conductor, and, being in a delicate condition, died about two weeks afterwards. This was in force the "Jim Crow" street law to effect no action has been taken in the case. When the Afro-American street car line began operating about a year ago, it had a vaudeville show at the terminus of its road which did a rushing business. Then the white of their road a like show of larger dimensions, which gradually drew away the trade from the former and forced it to discontinue. However, since the boycott, the white men's show has had to close, its shoes on account of alim at attention, and the street car show has opened up again and in doing a land-office business. The daily papers here are trying to conq the Afro-Americans back on the cars by showing that the separation of the races on street cars troubled to cope with the blacks in the bush-filling imposes upon the Afro-Americans here. WHEREVER AND WHILE THE INDEPENDENT IS CERTIFIED. From the Citizen Public. A just citigation of very wide application is made by a correspondent of The New York Aux, an able Negro woman. The citigation is applied by The Aux as the newspaper fashion of sending correspondents to "write up" conditions among peoples and classes of which the correspondents knew nothing except from the outside. This might be a service of general enlightenment, as the writer in The Aux truly remarks, if the correspondents "would put themselves to the trouble of actually investigating, instead of spending their time in discussing matters with chance acquaintances in hotel lobbies and sample rooms." Referring to one of these correspondents who had unintelligently "written up" the Negro of the South, The Aux writer pointedly asks what that correspondent could know "of the home life of the Negro, since he cannot enter those homes," and as pointedly answers: "Absolutely nothing except what he is told by people who themselves do not enter them." We say that this criticism is of wide application in the face of all National, racial and sectarian alienations and hatreds. We hate and despise; because we do not know those whom we hate and despise, no matter how earnestly we may protest that we do know them. The Negromanian of one Southern States may know the Negro. He does not know the Negro. He may know the Negro slave, but not the Negro man. No one can know the Negro without in imagination sincerely putting himself in the Negro's place and booking out his view. Until he knows the Negro as an equal, and not as a mental, he does not know him as a man at all; and this simply because Negroes no more than other people permit themselves to be known to those who keep their distance and look down upon them. This sumption for any class to profess to understand another class with which they refuse to associate upon terms of equality. Although everyone has been a child, no one can understand children if he holds aloof from them. How much more imminent is this need, which we have never mingled upon terms of equality and mutual respect. If we would know any class, any nationality, any race, we must become one of them, thinking their thoughts, uniting in their sympathies, appreciating their aspirations. Until we have done this, all that we report them has but little more than that we traveled because he studiously does this, that Prof. Frederick Starr's anthropological work is of special value. He studied the street urchin by becoming a real new-boy; he studied the Indian as a naturalised member of an Indian tribe; he studied the Ainu, the survivors of the aboriginal peoples of the Americas upon terms of friendship; he studied the Mexican in the same way; and now he proposes studying the pigmies of Africa and their neighbors by joining their community and living their life. Only so can men come to know one anan, so one knows his butt, though of his own opinion. He knows his casual acquaintances, though of the same social grade. How absurd, then, for any man to pretend to know individuals, classes or races with whom he has never associated except in the relation of master and servant, or patrician man, or cultized man and barbarian? Any man who realized the truth of this his simple but effective-mental process: "Put yourself in his place." MAYTIS SERVICES TO LIBERTY. Aided Liberator of South American and Paid Huge Ransoms for Slaves. To the Editor of the New York Age: I cannot express the pleasure I enjoy at the receipt of your learned journal. I wish to adjust the fifth paragraph of your brief remarks on Chaplain Steward's "Colored Regulars." Santo Domingo, though, on the same island, is as distinct from Hayti as Scotland was from England when the latter country belonged to the Welsh and the former to the Colts. The vernacular of the Dominicans is Spanish, while ours is French. Hon. A. H. Grimke, who has been consul to Santo Domingo, can tell you that we are two distinct peoples. The Dominicans do not consider themselves Negroes, while we Haytiaus proclaim that we are Negroes, an agglomeration of slaves made a peacle. Whether Henri Christophe was ever in America I do not know. I do know, however, that he, like Rigand, L'Overture and Dessalines, was a general of France. The idea of independence was old with our sires. Hayti had had several revolts long before the great outbreak of 1791 which ended with our crushing the veterans of Napoleon. Toussaint L'Overture governed Hayti, or rather the whole island, for France. We French-speaking people we are not justly known to our English-speaking kin. Christophe was king not president. His kingdom was in the North, while the West and South enjoyed a republican administration. After his death Hayti proper became or rather rebecame one state. We are not an emanation of people, as no emanation proclamation has to us. We sent out our manifesto declaring our freedom on January 1, 1804. When Simon Bolivar visited, Haytil to solicit his aid and confer with her sons, despite the great responsibilities she had to assume and her nascent needs, Alexander and his cousin, cute cultive cabinet, considered it incumbent on her to grant Bolivar's petition. The supplicant for Colombia received $50,000 in hard cash, ammunition and weapons to the amount of $10,000, and foodstuffs the value of $10,000, many of which never been estimated. Hundreds of Haytians, though still necessary for the defence of their country, whose sovereignty France had not yet recognised, followed to Colombia. It was Petion's humane obedience to Bolivar which caused him on his return to Colombia to free the slaves in that country. During the administration of Jean Pierre Boyer, Haytı gave to Great Britain as the former's assessment in defraying the cost of emancipating those of her Indian indentors. In 1900; to France for the same; $200,000; under Geffard's administration she gave to the United States of America $400,000 for the ransom of her kinfolk. To Spain she also paid a sum which we do not at present recall. The intent of these few lines is to give a sense of a time strongly known.

Regular Correspondence of the AMA ATLANTA, Ga., July 11, 1918 North of the Census Office presents in an interview that his dependents in taking some interest in African American statistics. "We are incompetent" he says "in the new volume an analysis of Negro statistics which have already been made public in bulletin form. These are the most complete statistics of the Negro that have ever been compiled. In fact they are the only statistics on that subject." The director utterts to the same purport more nonsense not necessary to be stated here, being in the nature of cumulative testimony and all of it disgusting. The Government, if it is going to make the black man, like the Indian, the subject of special statistical investigation in the decennial census, ought to go about the matter in a sensible and fair way. Now here is Director North giving out a lot of hot air about "complete statistics of the Negro" when it does not lie in the heart of him or of his associates who have the work in hand to go about it in the way that will insure completeness. The most patent of all humbugs was the method of procedure adopted in the Twelfth Census, to get at facts bearing on the Negro race. It was pointed out to Mr. Merriam, then director, that it was possible to find out the true condition of the Negro in most of the Southern States only by having people of the black race to do the investigating. The director, with a fine contempt for Negro ability and a deep-seated prejudice which characterized him in all his dealings with Afro-Americans, flatly refused on the specious protext that it might cause strife among the races; and as a result there crept into the census a lot of statistics that are not accurate, whatever else they may be. Here was the program of the men who had forth with book and fountain pen to write up the colored citizen from the cradle to the grave: First, they called at the "big house" occupied by the white head owner. The messes were expelled and the emperor offered his question that it would save him a good deal of time and walking if the landlord would give him some information about the "inventors" on his place. The landlord would tell him all he knew, which was not much, and what was missing must be furnished by the fertile brain of the emperor. "There's Jim," said the landlord, "and his family; maybe there are children and maybe there are ten; you had better split the difference and make it right. Don't know whether they can read or write; better say one can read and let it go at that; don't know their names and personalities, you'd better start with Himself and come down to Governer Cladmore." The emperor learns about the other families, their names, qualifications and prospects in the same way. What information he fails to get is why he deliberately manufactures. Probably there is a widow with several children living on the place. The emperor never thinks to put her down as "broken" but makes it "single," and the woman down in the conus mother before she was a wife. The majority of Mr. North's own complains those libelous shows how Mr. North thinks the real progress of the Afro-American in the South; indeed Mr. North himself does not care over the matter or he would give colored man and women. He will be a lot of lying figures we are dying out faster and then any other race on Southern colored man has to be in. In and out of son-desired to be the victim of questionable manipulation, it could very well afford in statistics to let him so count and count his own occupations that these books that none of a familiar write, simply because the thinks they ought not to in fact most of that family read but can also write. In this early date preparations made for the reception of the President when he comes South in October many cities not originally in the itinerary are asking that the arranged so that the Chief Excursion over with them. In At-contemplated that he shall seek and outline what the should be Southern politic Without doubt, Mr. Dawson has found in the South by the fact he himself stands for fair play perspective of color. He has not from his plain duty to all of the Republic and he is now responsible for his consistency in some where laterly he was consummated. His personality has brought him of admiries and he is to-day a strong man in every section of the There was never any reason for into the President as was done by some Southern newspapers. In the head of the Government sees his duty to make fitness and not just for political preferment is for people tear their hair in indignation and cathartic. He has been for the Southern Africa. The President has not wavered in his intention to treat all alike with fair. A single deviation from his an- rule would have meant much improvement and aviation for the Southern. The President has to preserve the status auto. all that remains to be said about lynching at Workkinsville in that is that of this writing none of the mob have been applauded. Nor it is believed that they are invisible, that one man could go out a town break take out eight men and shoot death without a man of being known. There seems some sentiment that the leachers are unappended and properly pun- ished. This affair coupled with the harm horror, has unquestionably the people of the State to thinking of some way to prevent a rep- tition of them. The legislature has been denounced the lynching and pub- ishment is crystallizing against it similar societies. The fact that a white man has to death may a great deal to do in lynching pub- ment, though it is believed that the white man had been involved the lynching would have been just as strong a remarkable feature of the affair was the white man protested to the very that he was innocent of any con- flict with the crime committed, and his assent that if he had been afforded his trial he would have demi- fortified for the men who shot him to On June 25 Mr. Charles W. Chessmunt, the novelist, of Cleveland, O., delivered before the Boston Literary and Historical Association an address which has stirred up much comment in the white and the Afro-American press. The interest of the address lay in the fact that it frankly willpended the doctrine of "race pride" and "race integrity", which is so uniformly prescheduled as the solution of the race problem. But we will, let Mr. Chessmunt speak for himself in the following extracts from the address: "We have had preached to us of late a new doctrine, that of race integrity. We are told that we must glory in our color and zealously guard it as a priceless heritage. Frankly, I take no stock in this doctrine. It seems to me a modern invention of the white people to perpetuate the color line. They regard the color line as a good thing, but it is by themselves a blot on the exponent. It would like to shift the burden to the Negroes. It is the white people who preach it, and it is their racial integrity which they wish to preserve; they have never been unduly careful of the purity of the black race. I can scarcely restrain a smile when I bear a mulatto talking of race integrity or a quadroon dwelling upon race pride. What they mean is a very fine thing, and a very desirable thing, but it is not at all what they say. Why should a man be bound any more than he should be bound of which for which he is not at all responsible? Manly self-respect, based upon one humanity, a self-respect which claims nothing for color and yields nothing to color, every man should cherish. "But the Negro in the United States has suffered too much from the race pride of other people to justify him in cultivating something equally offensive for himself. Of what should we be proud? of any inherent superiority? We deny it inothers, proclaiming the equality of men. Of any great achievement? We are at risk in the infancy of achievement. In the middle and anew age it is not by comparison with others, but with our own less fortunate past. We complain because others judge us by our worst and yet we ourselves are too prone to compare ourselves with ourselves, to look down rather than up, backward rather than forward. What we have done merely marks the inevitable advance of a people surrounded by many things which stimulate to advancement, and while some of us have been cruelly humped for opportunity, this will all admit the necessity of our own family circle, that the masses of us have not taken the fullest advantage of the opportunities we have had." "Why should we wish to perpetuate this disastrous difference between us and our fellow citizens? Every other people who come to this country, seek to lose their separate identity as soon as possible, and to become Americans with no distinguishing mark. For a generation they have their ghettos, their residence quarters, their churches, their social circles, another general still retain an important interest in these things. In the third generation they are all Americans, soldon speak of their foreign descent and often modify their names so that they will not suggest it. They enter fully and completely, if they are capable and worthy, into the life of this Republic. Are we to help the white people to build up walls between themselves and us, to fence in a gloomy backyard for our descendants to play in? In with the Keystone shovels, throw that cruel keyboard when it established the cruelty of all men before the law. The Northern States have long since repudiated it, when they abolished discriminating laws and threw open the public among us it is due to that inertia which makes it difficult to change deep-rooted social questions. The Southern States, in attempting to perpetuate the color line, are trying to do the impossible, and for one do not do it, because they for them by accepting their views further than they can compel their acceptance by force. Race prejudice will not perhaps entirely dismantle until the difference of color shall have disappeared, or at least until all of us, white and colored, shall have resolutely shut our eyes to those differences and shall have learned to judge men by other standards. "I ask you to dismiss from your mind any theory, however cherished, that there can be built up in a free country, under equal laws, two separate sorts of civilization, two standards of human development. I not only believe that the mixture in races will in time become an unconplained fact, but that it will be good thing for all concerned. It is already well forward and events seem to be paving the way to embrace the Negro in the general process by which all the races of mankind are being fused together here into one people. Millions of for-mer much nearer the Negro in some respects than our native whites, are pouring into the country. Perhaps, in the economy of Dixie Providence, they may help to solve our problems by furnishing a bridge with which to span the race chasm. "And, now, to close, may I venture a prologue. There are many who see the world through smoked glasses, and who view this problem of race solely from the pessimistic point of view. I think, for my own part, that it is in a healthy process of solution, which, by sticking close to correct principles and by acting upon them when the opportunity offers, we can help to further. Looking down, vista of time I see an epoch in our Nation's history, not in time or yours, but in the future, when there shall be in the United States but one people, moulded by the same culture, awarded the same patriotic ideals, holding their citizenship in such high esteem that for another to share it is to tangle him to fraternal regard; when men will be esteemed and honored for their character and talents, whatever their descent: when hand in hand and heart with heart all the people of this Nation will join to preserve to all and to each of them for the time that ideal of the human liberty which the Fathers of the public set out in the Declaration of Independence, which declared that all men are created, the ideal which Garrison and Phillips and Summer lived and worked; the ideal embodied in the words of Lincoln died, the ideal embodied in the words of the Book which the slave mother learned by stealth to read, with slow-moving finger and faltering speech, and which I fear that some of us with our freedom and our culture have formulated to read at all: the Book which declares that *Gqd* is no respecter of persons, and that of one blood but He made all the Nations of the Earth.* The Government Apprehends that all the British American Command To the President a British College of the Navy—the establishment of Admiral-American Military College. To theutter of the New York Aon: I should be sorry if my book on "The Colored Regular" should impress people that within the army itself there exist an unusual amount of race prejudice. On the contrary, I am constrained to believe that nowhere in the country can there be found so large a number of colored men employed where the effects of prejudice are less seen and less felt. I do not say that there is no race prejudice in the army; but I may that the sphere in which it can operate is more circumscribed than anywhere else. I know of in the country. In my lecture before the general conference of the African M. E. church I took occasion to say: "Lastly, the army, by the very aristocracy of its constitution, contributes much to make effective the doctrines of equality. The black soldier and the white soldier carry the same arms, eat the same rations, serve under the same laws, participate in the same experience, wear the same uniforms, are nursed in the same hospitals, and buried in the same cemeteries. The Roman Catholic church, by its priestly aristocracy, has always been a bulwark against cause. So, in the same manner, the army of our Republic, by its aristocracy of commissioning, has always effectual barrier against the inundating waves of race discrimination that the country has as yet produced. "In the first encampment at Fort Riley, on the first Sunday evening after our arrival, a most encouraging spectacle presented itself. It was guard-mount in our camp, and our super band, under the leadership of Sergent George S. Thompson, was playing with spirit. The details from the several companies were marching and falling into line, and were received by our smart Sergeant-Major Mack, who finally announced that the details were correct. The adjutant inspected the guard; and then came the order, 'Sound off!' This was promptly executed, and the adjutant came to 'Present arms, and the adjutant, turning and sailing the officer of the day, reported. 'Nin' the officer in form.' The view of gathering hundreds, full six feet in height, perfect in military form, athletic in build, stood that black officer of the day, Lieutenant John Ernest Green, of the Twenty-fifth Infantry, who responded, 'March the guard to their posts, sir.' "Daily in the garrison where I am now located, black and white soldiers may be seen side by side, black sometimes doing duty under, white non-commissioned officers; white sometimes doing duty under black non-commissioned officers; and still the heavens stand, and the Mississippi thousand American Negroes. It would be giving our country a magnificent army, and at the same time would be giving to the colored men of the country the training so exceedingly valuable in their present condition." In this post, our post staff positions are held as follows: Hospital sergeant, white; ordinance sergeant, white; quartermaster sergeant, colored; commissary sergeant, colored; and signal corps corporal on by this our telegraph work is carried on by this our telegraph work is learned in our regiment was transferred to the signal corps, made corporal in a white company and then when his company was ordered to Alaska, he at his own request was ordered on duty here. "So far in this sketch we have spoken only of the rank and file of the colored people in the United States army. There are some colored officers. There is one graduate of West Point — Captain Charles Young, a naval officer. He was sent to West Point in 1884, and graduated five years later and was made a second lieutenant of the Tenth calvary. He also served with the Twenty-fifth infantry, the Ninthenth calvary, the latter in a white regiment. He reached the grade of first lieutenant in 1886 and was made a captain in 1901. When the Spanish war began he was appointed major second in two tours of volunteers. He was nearly twenty years old and is now on duty as an attack at Port-au-Prince. Captain Young is a full-blooded Negro; a thorough and a brave soldier, in the musician and in all ways a warrior. He has served as a lieutenant have served in his company and they have gotten along pleasantly, to the credit of both the captain and the lieutenants. While he has invitations to social events, he has also served as a brother officer who know that he will not. In due time he will receive promotion, many white officers will be his subordinates. How will it be then, and when he is a colonel and has a regiment and a battalion for the answer, "In July, 1898, Benjamin O. Davis, a colored man, was appointed first lieutenant of a colored volunteer regiment which went to Cuba. In the occupation of his term he enlisted in the 10th Cavalry from private to squadron sergeant major he applied for an opportunity to be examined for a commission. The examination showed him so thoroughly qualified that he was appointed first lieutenant in the Tenth cavalry, early in 1901. Within six months he was in command of his troop then stationed on the island of Pahaw. He was sent to a troublesome community, and while there was at odds with the officers and officers with such skill and bravery that the enemy was thoroughly subdued, J. lieutenant Daisle, a Young Giant, is modest, manly, competent and always courteous, and has the respect not only of the troop, but of the entire army. He was the only advanced to first lieutenant. There is another colored lieutenant in the regular army, John E. Green, of the Twentieth-5th infantry. In 1898 he enlisted in the Twentieth-5th infantry. In 1900 he was made second lieutenant and assigned to the Twentieth-5th "There were colored regiments of volunteers in the Spanish-American war from Illinois, Ohio, Kansas, New England and several of the Southern States, and in 1800 two colored Phillipines. The latter had for field officers regular army captains and lieutenants, and many of the company officers were taken from the sergeants and corporals of the Ninth and Tenth cavalry and the Twenty-fourth and Thirty-fourth and their made good officers. Recently, the President appointed George R. Thompson, a non-commissioned officer of the Twenty-fifth infantry, an adjutant, thoroughly disciplined soldier, a lieutenant-in-charge in the Phillipines and the far away island. He will be seen that the door of promotion has not been closed against the colored soldiers who have many times risked their T. G. SREWARN Chaplain, Twenty-fifth Infantry, U. S. A. July 10, 1905.

J., July 18.—The story being propagated that the Plane Street Presbyterian church has been condemned by the superintendent of buildings, Mr. John Austin, is false, as Mr. Austin made a personal inspection of the entire church last week, and reported to the trustees that there is no danger of a collapse, and that with a few repairs, costing less than $100, its safety will be assured for an indefinite time. This baseless rumor has grown out of the fact that the congregation for some time rebuilt the old church, or either erecting a new edifice or exchanging the present one for the little Italian Presbyterian church, now the property of the church extension committee of the Presbyterian church, the Italians having failed to exchange the property. He found, however, that there was no cause for alarm or danger, and promptly granted the president of the board of trustees old historic building. Services were therefore held all day Sunday last, and will be continued in the future. A special meeting on Tuesday evening to consider the present situation. It is distinctly understood, however, in advance in the meeting that there was a majority of the people are most adverse to such an action, because the old building is a new edifice or exchanging the present one for the little Italian church. PASSING OF NOTABLE NEW YORKERS. Mrs. Ann Brooks, Daughter of Caterrry Watson-Thomas B. Francis. In the death of Mrs. Anna Brooks, which occurred a few weeks ago, there passed away the survivor of one of the noted leaders in the catering business of half a century ago. She was the daughter of Robert Watson, who though almost unknown to the present generation, achieved high reputation among the catering profession. The estate built up by his daughters was carefully conserved after his death through the strong character of his daughter-in-law, the investee in holdings in the Eighth Street of New York City. In her judicious investments and careful management of the estate, Mrs. Brooks was an important part of the leadership of her husband, Daniel Brooks, who survives her. In the light of so many accumulations of ardious and industrious efforts made by her husband, the least general generation that created the most careful banding and development of the results of the older Watson's industry form a notable exception to the general course in such mat- Although born in the State of Connecticut, Thomas B.

The cities became united, he moved over to the latter borough, where he died. His career landed something of romance and much of adoration, and some, way to the Emperor Sonique of Harlil, but refused to return to his native country when summoned by that ruler while he was in the Army. He was an experience as powder boy in the United States Navy and as a school teacher and superintendent of instruction in New York. He was an official of the customs service at Galveston and an intimate friend of the late Norris Wright Coney. Returning to New York, he was a Goodyear Rubber Company for several decades, refusing to leave his work until physically incapacitated. He was one of the founders of the York and of the John Peterson Association; composed of the pupils of the old Mulberry street school. learn what made up the town.
