FLORIDA. JIM CROW' BAGGED SPLENDID HUNT OF ATTORNEYS WETMORE AND PURCELL. Full Account of Proceedings by Which Separate Car. Law. Was Declared Unconstitutional—Hermann of People in Walking During Boycott-Plain-It Was Arrested for Riding in "White Crow" Section of Car Owned by Afro-American Company—Mejole-Jeign Over Decision. Special Correspondence of THE AGE. JACKSONVILLE, Fla., July 30.—The Florida legislature passed a law for the separation of Afro-American and white passengers on street cars operated in municipalities in this State. This law became operative on July 1. Jacksonville has two street railway companies, one, the more extensive, covering the whole city and taking quite a range of the suburbs, is owned by a company of Boston capitalists; and the other, by Jacksonville investors. The Boston company did all that was possible to defeat the passage of the law requiring separation of races on street cars, and the echoes have it that a sum like $10,000 was spent by lobbyists in return for assurances that the law would not pass. The cash was cordially received and the votes went for the law. The Afro-American people in Peninsula instituted a boycott against the street cars just as soon as the law was enacted. In Jacksonville, all quietly awaited until the first day of July, and then a complete boycott was instituted against the Boston company in Jacksonville. This step was fathered by the Interdenominational Ministers' Alliance of Jacksonville, which is composed of the pastors of all of the leading churches in the city. The boycott was a quiet but complete affair. It is no exaggeration to say that there have scarcely been one hundred colored people seen on the street cars since the boycott was declared. The ministers have held mass-meetings in various part of the city from one to three times a week, addresses have been delivered by them, and such other speakers as they selected. The boycott was sweeping in its proportions, and in its operations many suffered much to sustain the stand taken. It was a matter of more than passing seriousness, to thousands who live long distances from their places of work and who spend long distances from their churches and other places where they go. The attempts to have public hacks do a general transfer business were often abortive for many reasons, mainly the 25 cents charged for a trip. Miss. J. Douglas Wetmore arm 2. L. Purcell, law partners, argued that the only solution to the situation was a testing of the constitutionality of the law requiring a separation of the two branches. This is not acceptable to the Minister's Alliance, which uncompromisingly advocated the continuation of the benefit, but offered no relief for transportation. These two successful lawyers put their heads together and saw that the law was full of flaws and could not be executed for lack of constitutional backing. Unified and single-handed, they began work to test the law. Mr. James E. Cashin, a well-known citizen of Jacksonville, consented to submit the arrest and trial to bring about this test. He was arrested for taking a seat in the division of a car designated for white passengers and the trial was set, by the county attorney, refused to proclaim himself the county attorney, and thinking this might balk Wetmore and Purcell, knowing the professional glory that awaited this firm of colored lawyers in the event of victory. But people say many things. Wetmore and Purcell next found a "pig-piron" in the person of Mr. Andrew Patterson, who consented to stand put through the whole ordeal of testing the law which all self-respecting people regard as a thrust at their personal pride, for which there was no necessity, since the white and colored people here had the street cars without any friction. The Florida Times Union had this to say on July 30 regarding Mr. Wetmore's activity in working up Patterson's case: When the next term of the criminal court convenes, County Solicitor Bryan may have a case against a colored man charged with violating the Avery street car law, an arrest having been made yesterday of a colored man who was riding in the white section of one of the cars on the North Jacksonville Street Car Company. The arrest was instigated by Attorney Douglas Wetmore for the purpose of a test case. This is the second arrest on warrants sworn out before Justice Willard, but in the other case the County Solicitor threw out of court the Jacksonville Electric Company was not complying with the law, the solicitor holding that the law compelled the company to have screens or compartments for their cars, and that the designation of seats was not suffi- But in this case the street car company has screens attached to the back of the seat next to the last seat of each which pulls up for about two feet. One seat thus partitioned off from the seat is designated for white passengers, one being patronized almost exclusively colored passengers. When acting under instructions of attorney Bryan, a col- lman, took a seat reserved for the seat and when the conductor ordered to take the seats provided for colored passengers he refused to do so. There are amusing incidents in connection with the arrest. There are none but col- lmen and conductors on this and the colored conductor was not was taking advantage of the law, which gave him police powers. It was first time since the city went under government provided by the famous hill No. 4 that a colored man in Mason had had the power of police, and Patterson made matters Patterson was told to make the compartment at the attorney, and thought that he must stay there under hazards. The result of the lack of understanding all round was, there was a mad conductor and a belligerent passenger on the car. The car stops in front of the office of Justice Willard, and the prisoner was delivered to the wary door of justice while on the car and by the conductor. "Another incident connected with the case was that the colored people along the route of the car jeered Patterson for riding in the Jim Crow section. On that line the colored passengers believe that they have the best end of the bargain. They regard that as a line for them and the fact that the poor white transh has to the rear, leads them to believe that the tables are reserved on this line in their favor, pariah, when they saw a man of their color riding in the Jim Crow section of the car they called him down strong. Patterson had to explain all after his arrest, so as not to be ostracised from Jacksonville's bon ton colored society, in which he conspicuously moves." This Patterson was arrested and arraigned before a magistrate, and a trial on habeas corpus proceedings was held before Judge R. M. (Call of the Circuit Court on July 24. Wetmore and Purcell mental tension and harder work, knowing that what they were attempting stood out, single and alone, as the one great stroke made for simple rights for their race all over the State of Florida. The court room was crowded with spectators, all listening intently. The law was being applied to the legal talent. The week points in the law were shown, backed by citations from the established authorities in legal lore. The blows were so telling that listening lawyers nearly forgot themselves so far as to risk yelling right out in court. Some of the vigorous onslaughts were as follows: as follows: 1. direction two (2) of said street 2. car act in vogue and unrestraint. Seventh—That the law undertakes to create officers not known to the Constitution of Florida, and empowers street railway companies to make the appointment of same, and not requiring said officers to take an oath for the faithful performance of duty, as required by law, politicized evidence of demolishment. His argument was one of those sickly affairs that appeal to sympathy only. The judge gave notice that he would give his decision on the morning of July 25. In the meantime, there thousands awaiting with bated breath. The decision of Judge Call was made on schedule time, and it was to the effect that the contentions of Wetmore and Purcell were correct, and that the law was caught in that it neglected the State and National Constitutions. News of this decision spread like a nuisite fire, and from many a heart there went up rejoicing and the loudest praise for these two brave and brainy attorneys. AFFIRMED BY SUPREME COURT. Unconstitutionality of Florida Separate Car Law Established. Special Dispatch to THE AGR. JACKSONVILLE. Fln., July 29.—The (State Supreme Court to-day affirmed the decision of Judge Call that the Avery law forcing the races on street cars is unconstitutional. The appeal was taken by County Solicitor Bryan in order to get a final settlement of the matter covering the whole State. SAT BY MISS BURROUGHS. Rev.

The discrimination which the police enforced against Afro-Americans in the recent "race riots" in New York city was no fragrant as to stir up the indignation of even ex-Chief of Police William S. Devery. In an interview with the New York Times of July 20 he said, when charged with being a friend of Captain Cooney, for whose incompetence or worse during the riots," Commissioner McAdoo has transferred him to another district: "Captain Cooney would not turn a hand for me. He is Tom Smith and Tammany Hall body and soul. While there is all this talk going on about Negro riots on the West Side, let me tell you that there has been no such thing as a Negro riot in many years. Plain-giving, biggest Negro 'longshoremen,' however, on their way home from work have been beaten for a month past by bhoods along 10th avenue, and have been left in the gutters for dead, and no police to help them. It's time that the police stopped clubbing Negroes, who are human beings like ourselves, and if we believe our early teachings there would be no Negroes were it not for Cain and Abel. "Treat Negroes, Japanese, and Chinamen all alike when it comes to police protection, for they are all human, and a strict investigation should be made as to the recent clubbing of Negroes." "I was always against the policemen who would use his club without great provocation, and let me tell you that while there were 4,000,000 people who viewed the Dewey land parade, there was not a club pulled by a policeman, for I would not permit the use of clubs. There was not a watch stolen that day, nor was there an ambulance call due to the big celebration, but now watches are lost, safes are cracked, and innocent persons are clubbed, and still we claim to live in a free land. You can say again that Cooney is no friend of mine. This splendid deliverance of Mr. Dewey executed in the public sentiments of influential quarters. The Times, which is not particularly notable for pro-Afro-American sympathies, said editorially on July 27: "We are not accustomed to the luxury of approving the utterances of Mr. Devery, ex-Chief of Police, and our memory is that he was far from the 'best chief New York ever had,' as he was described by a former mayor of the city. But in his interview with the Times' reporter regarding the condition of things in the San Juan Hill district, where the police are stationed, he said that the captain John Cooney, Mr. Devery stated some important and just rules of police duty, which it is but fair to say that he applied when he was in office. 'Treat Negroes, Japanese, and Chinamen (and whites as well) all alike when it comes to police protection,' is as good a principle as can be found. The evidence is that it was openly and grossly violated in the West 85th street precinct under the police protection transfer that officer by Mr. McKeldoo is currently an admission of the fact. No doubt there are 'bad' Negroes, as there are 'bad' white men, and one class should be looked after with vigilance and determination by the police as well as the other. So far from this being the rule, it is beyond question that the police have in many instances, on very slight provocation, treated respectable colored men, and the more shame to them, colored women, with the greatest insecurity and even the greatest of their duty as officers, but it is awarily. We sincerely trust that the commissioner will be able to discipline some at least of the worst offenders in a way that will have a wholesome effect. "Meanwhile it is in order to point out that Captain Cooney's case is the latest instance of the relative futility of the practice of, transferring officers because of neglect or incompetence. In the bill of the Committee of Nine prepared last year was provided that remorsals or reduction in commission to perform duty, through neglect or incompetence. Such a provision would give the commissioner a certain degree of definite power, which would carry with it a corresponding degree of definite responsibility, and it should be put in the law. At the same time we are convinced that the commissioner already has enough power to secure much better discipline than prevails. A mere change in the field of action is not an adequate way of making a man do better." The New York Evening Post, which had the same objective detention of the behavior of the police in the "reits," endorses the position of Mr. Dewey and reiterates its demand for a searching investigation of the whole situation: "Whatever else may be said of Devery, his knowledge of police conditions is beyond challenge. Hence his views on the so-called Negro riots in this city are of value. He is reported to-day as saying precisely what the observers beat acquainted with conditions on the West Side have been declaring to be the truth: "We have been beaten up, such thing as a Negro-riot in many years. Plain-going, honest Negro 'longshoremen, however on their way home from work have been beaten for a month past by floodlums along 10th avenue, and have been left in the gutters for dead, and no police to help them. It's time that the police stopped clubbing Negroes, who are human beings, we ourselves," he said, in a strict investigation of the actions of the police, and when he says that police clubbing is almost never necessary, it is worth while putting his opinion by for future reference. Mr. McAdoo has taken one step of importance—the transferring of Captain Gooney from this precinct to another. This captain was known to be unfriendly to the Negroes. Police violence in the city should not stop there. The public is entitled not only to a searching investigation into recent outbreaks, but also to a careful, unbiased study of the whole situation, so that such occurrences as riots may not again disguce the city." SURPRISE PARTY BY BOAT. Sail to Campbell's Grove - Visitors Come and Go-Church Notes. Thor, July 31.—Last Wednesday evening a few friends were given a surprise by Miss Ida M. Epps of Waterford and Mr. Stephen L. Smith of Alamy. The party was taken in boats from Miss Epps' home on the Hudson to Campbell's grove, where lunchon was served. The afternoon was pleasantly spent in playing games. Those present were Miss Harriet and Vivian Nichols of Norwalk, Conn.; Miss E. Gertrude Evans, Miss Grace M. Hegeman, Miss Bertha M.

Beahl, Mr. and Mrs. John Mead, Messra, Floyd Jackson, Fred. Smith and Nicholas Moore, Miss Pauline Williams of Williamstown, Mass.; Mr. and Mrs. Albert Williams of Albany, and Mrs. Jas, Mablu of New York, in honor of their guest, Miss Helen Hill of Wilmington, Del. Mrs. Sullivan and Miss Hill spent several days last week at Saratoga. Prof. John J. Wheeler of Tuskegee Institute in the guest of Mr. Louis Bukley Institute in the upper deck of McIntyre, Spartan and Johnston of New York city were the guests last week of Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Oliver of Upper Troy. Miss Willa Taylor made brief introduction to New York City where Mrs. Dennis Louise Smokey Ordinary, Yas., who has been in Troy for the past few months, left Sunday for her home. Mr. Jas. Storms of Worcester was the guest of Mrs. Elsie Carr last week. On Friday afternoon at the parsonage of Zion church Rev. Conrad christened Miss Ulla Taylor. The ceremony was witnessed by the parents and a few intimate friends. By the parents, a friend and a colleague attended the concert of the Choral and Dramatic club at the Hamilton street A. M. E. church at Albany. Mrs. Jan. Day has returned to her home in Jersey City after a HALF a week with her mother Mrs. E. Blank. She is now in New York city in the guest of Mr. and Mrs. John Meads. On Thursday evening a party of young people under the direction of Miss Bertha Rahn tendered a surprise party to Miss Gilberta Wallace at the residence of Mrs. Blank. The event was open in games and music, and refreshments were served. GOOD OPENINGS AS DENTISTS. Success of Howard Dental Graduates Point Out the Way. The friends of Howard University Dental College will be pleased to learn that Doctors Frederie P. Rerrier, James A. Godrey and Rosece C. Wormley, class 05, and Joseph A. Wormley, class 05, respectively, are the recent appointment of the District At Columbia Board of Dental Examiners; and Jacob A. Emerson, class 03, and Thomas A. Stevens, class 05, of North Carolina and Virginia hospitals, respectively. The department has been registered against the college. It might be well to call attention to the bright future open to first-class colored dentists, such as are nearly graduated by Howard University. The supply has been greater than the supply. Nearly every week requests are sent to the secretary, asking that a dentist be sent to this or that, but the reason for this condition is listed: (1) the prejudice of theISTS; and (2) the prejudice of the white dentists, who do not care for Afro-American patients and, in some places, will not be here. Hence, it would be wise on the part of the dental professionals to the professional field to carefully consider the advantages dental officers offer for a successful career. Mr. Theodore Drury will accept out-of-town engagements for church and other organizations. For terms address Theodore Drury, 36 West 11th street, New York city, may 25 Smod CALL TO MEET AT DETROIT. CALL TO MEET AT DETROIT. EIGHTH ANNUAL SESSION OF AFRO-AMERICAN COUNCIL. Necessity for the Coming Meeting Strongly Set Forth - Diffranchise the Chief Issue - Runs of Membership - Three Days' Session Beginning August 28 - First Bonus of the Council Recited - Special Mates to Detroit - Preparing to Entertain Delegates. The following call, signed by officers of the Afro-American Council, has been received by THE AGE with the request that it be given publication: "To the members of the National Afro-American Council, delegates from local Councils and affiliated organizations, such as colleges, benevolent societies, newspapers and other race organizations, Greeting: "The eighth annual session of the National and Afro-American Council will be held at Detroit, Mich., on August 30 and 31, and September 1. 1905. The recent dangerous, and, on the part of the police officers, scandalous, race riots in New York city, the lynching of seven Negroes at Watkinsville, Georgia, the demoniac ravings of Governor Vardaman of Mississippi and the "Jim Crowing" of the street cars of the leading cities of the South, call loudly to the derelict members of the Afro-American Council and the friends of fair play to arouse themselves and to do something to check this onslaught upon their civil and political rights. "The hostility upon the part of the enemies of the race has been so persistent that many of our friends have become timid and indifferent in our defence. It is with the view of combating this opposition of our enemies, strengthening the hands of our friends and working for the absolute undoing of all discriminations against the race, that this meeting is to be held, and we ask the hearty co-operation of every Afro-American who is interested in the welfare of the race. "It has been stated again and again that the Council has not done anything worthy of support and therefore should not be sustained. This is a mistake. We know of no civic organization in our history that through annual addresses sent to the public has done so much to create favorable public sentiment as the Afro-American Council. What other organizations of Afro-Americans had the hardihood to meet at the Capitol of the Nation and in the shadow of the White House to openly and aboveboard criticize the President (Mr. McKinley), for refusing to make some utterance against the massacre at Wilmington, N. C., of a number of inoffensive and innocent Negroes. A committee of the Council was sent to visit the President and to call his attention to this dereliction of duty. He said he had been advised by some prominent Negroes to keep quiet on the subject, but promised in his next message to Congress that he would advise against lynchers, which he did. The Afro-American Council was the first organization to institute a test case against the constitutionality of the election laws of the Southern States. It was the Afro-American Council that was successful in getting an expression from President Roosevelt against the lily-whitism of the South. Indeed, the representatives of this body were present at the White House when his manifesto breaking the backbone of this heresy was issued. The basis of membership is defined in Article III of the Constitution, as follows: Section 1. The Afro-American Council shall be composed of the members as follows: That—All persons who hold life member First.—All persons who hold life membership. Second...Council delegate, representing organization duly accredited. Local Councils "As far as possible all the rights of the race will be considered, but disfranchisement is to be the paramount question. "It is our earnest desire that every church, college, benelolent society and other organizations send representatives. We have every reason to believe that the Detroit meeting will be the largest ever held in the history of the organization. Let all the organizations named above elect their delegates as soon as possible and to send their names to Cyrus Field Adams, Secretary, 934 S Street, N. W., Washington, D. C. The citizens of Detroit are preparing to entertain the Council in first class style and the trip promises to be a delightful one. All delegates can secure a special rate; if they will only get a certificate from the agent at the point where they purchase their ticket.

Patriotic Depots and Cities—Convenience of Knowing a Mist of Friend—The Hotel Continental—Utahotelus The Type—Lion Which Projudge Makes Americans Toll. / Special Correspondence of The ACM Paris, France, July 12.—I think I left my readers in a cafe listening to the strains of "Under the Bamboo Tree." Now I wish to take them back a few hours to the time of our arrival. Our train rolled under the car shed about 4 o'clock in the afternoon, and dismounting from our carriage—as they say over here—we found ourselves in a great station. This station, called Saint Lazare, in very large, but hardly so fine or well-appointed as the Grand Central in New York. There are five or six very large railway stations in Paris, but none of them, I think, equal the great stations in New York, Philadelphia and Boston. As soon as our feet touched the platform of the station our small stock of French was drawn upon. We were at once surrounded by porters offering to take our hand baggage, find us a cab, or do anything to earn the always expected pourboire. It is possible for a traveler to go through a foreign country without a knowledge of the language, but he will incur not only great inconvenience, but a great expense. Paris, for instance, in what is known as the strangers' quarter one can easily find somebody who speaks both French and English, but in the little out-of-the-way places in and about the city, the places where we find and delight the traveler, a working knowledge of French is necessary. The other night at the theatre as I stepped out of our louse I saw a man making signs to an usher: as I came up he said, addressing me, "Do you speak English?" I answered, "A little." He then asked, "Well, for Heaven's sake, do you speak French?" I again answered, "A little." He had been standing there for several minutes trying to tell the usher in English what he was saying that his party could see from the seats they had was the audience and the back of the house. He forgot to thank me after I had made the usher understand that he wanted to change his seats. We secured a cab, and drove to the Hotel Continental. And, by the way, the cab is quite an institution in Paris. There are about 30,000 of them in the city, everybody who can afford it. The carriage is carried on the side on the busses and trains. There is no street car system here such as we have in American cities. Cab fare is cheap; you can drive to any point within the old city for a frame and a half (about thirty cents). Of course, the cabman must this particular piece of equipment on each carriage. They are usually such things here as express wagons; all baggage is carried on cabs. The Hotel Continental is one of the best in Paris. Like all of the great Parisian hotels, it is built around a court. This court is not only an addition to the comfort of the inmates, but gives to the hotel a certain air of exclusive luxury which is absent in American hotels. The Hotel Tullier is faced with the historic Hotel du Tullier, and the Pineau in Concord, and so is in the very heart of Paris. As soon as our carriage drew up into the court of the hotel we felt that we were welcome guests; the porters rushed for our bags, the clerk met us with a phone and we were told that I knew that I was not in my native land. I remembered a day some six months ago when the three of us drove up to a hotel in Salt Lake City. We had stopped over to see the great Morton Temple and the moment we stepped into the office the clerk dropped 20 degrees. And have you ever thought how keen we become in detecting those cold changes in temperature? I know at once what was coming, but walked straight to the desk and registered. I was fully nervous; he led me about, he had business everywhere except where we were standing. When at last he could avoid us no longer, he came with the shim of the lie he was to utter already upon his face, and told us there was no room in the house. I really felt sorry for him. I sometimes feel that the corruption and the deterioration of many of our white fellow citizens will be indirectly charged against us. Have you ever thought how we daily make of them hairs, oppressors, murderers, and brute servants? The service is until you have lived in a French hotel. If we go out or come in twenty times a day the porter at the gate raises his cap, and says, "Monsieur." Everywhere we go we meet the same deference. This courtesy on the part of French servants may be due not only to the proverbial politeness of the French, but to the system which is universal here. The bus is small, ranging ordinarily from two up to twenty cents, but you must tip everybody, the people who serve you in your hotel, the those who wait upon you at your cafe, the cabman who drives you, the boy who calls your cab, even the usher who seats you at the theatre. But you get excellent service, not the money just to hear a Frenchman, and especial a French woman, say, "Merci."

To the Editor of the New York Age: The murres of the civilized, world no longer become shocked at the appalling news of the lynching of Negroes in the United States of America. That is now a matter of very little concern. So often has such starling news been published that it has become as a sounding brass and a tinkling symbol in the cars of all Christendom. Hence we pass from the ghastly picture of the lynchings and burning of the unprotected American Negro to view the like shameful fate which seems to be making an inroad upon the white man—a man who is supposed to have a soul within him, a man of Caucasian blood, a man who was born and reared under the flag where every American citizen is supposed to be guaranteed equal rights before the law of our land and country. We have reference to the lynching of seven Negroes—in which die white man was involved—very recently at Watkinsville, Ga. This white man, I. J. Aycock, is given his name, protested, it is said, his innocence to the very last. But "Judge Lynch," from whose decision, there is no appeal, simply laughs at cries for mercy, "Judge Lynch" has always been a deaf man, the civilized world has never known of his sense of hearing, but, judging from his old work at Watkinsville, Ga., he is so old in the lynching business that his eyesight is about to tell on him; that is to say, he can hardly discern white from black. And when it comes to this it is very necessary that those who are in authority of the law should pay some attention to their solemn oath and rise up and put "Judge Lynch" out of business to destitute some of the best blood All this talk about the Jailer's being overpowered and the prisoners taken from the jail has been a topic of debate. Has not the Jailer the same duty to protect the fallout which he lives against a terrorist or to protect his own home? Do the laws of the South ford the dug into a mob which has been used to attack his own home? Is the Jailer or not at the North who is coward enough to allow a mob to enter his private home, and take therefrom his sons, or is he in a place of execution and riddle their bodies with bullets, without his killing some of the whole people would brand him a coward. The news heralded from the seat of the murders, that the mob was heavily masked, that men came from the adjoining city, that they came to the murdered knew who any of them were, is simply lies, told to shield the murders right in their eyes, that they were offered the prize offered by the Governor of Georgia the detectives, or those who might be working for the money, would do well to arrest the sake of argument that the had been the Negro jeller at Watkintville, Ga., and a mob of Negroes had entered the jail and taken from seven white men and swapped them in with the stalked man that lives knows the seat. Neither bloodhounds nor the reward of the man, woman and child in that idolatry would have been shot down as soon as they came within reach of a bullet. (Can such people, woman and child in the ordeal, and not arouse the indignation? But let us all be glad that the Georgia man didn't think to insult the President of the United States attempting to send him any of the charred remains unburned. Perhaps, though, they deferred that part of the program until the next lynching which may occur at any moment. J. C. CENNINGHAM. Washington, D. C., July 29, 1905. VIRGINIA'S SONS' PICNIC Rousing Time at Atlantic Park and Casino Last Thursday. The eighth annual plenice of the Society of the Sons of Virginia at Atlantic Park and Casino on last Thursday evening was a touring success, socially and financially. This society is one of the leading organizations among Southern men in Brooklyn. The public functions are largely attended. Public functions are larger for each year and the plenice in July are occasions for reunions among Virginiaans in this section of the North Nearly a thousand people join for a jolly time they had. Great credit is due to the committee of arrangements for the manner in which they conducted the affair and easily large the large crowd. They are followed by P. Moore, chairman John W. Winter, vice chairman, Alexander Randolph, scorekeeper, George Pressus and C. H. Thonas, Ed Watkins, V. A. Thonas, assisted by the board of directors. At the last meeting President Dodson said the unguaranteed action of the New York price in Americans in the recent "race cuts" in Manhattan and called attention to the agitation.

Regular Correspondence of THE AGR- ATLANTA, G., July 51. The *Atlanta* Constitution some time since carried an article that spoke of the shortcomings of the Southern Afro-American laborer, saying among other things, that the "black farm- hand was gradually becoming addicted to whiskey, cocaine and other forms of "dope." The New York Sun took up the matter ser- iously, believing, of course, that there might be some truth in it. As both of these papers are of wide circulation, it might be worth while to see if there is any foundation in fact for the allegation. It is doubtful if one of his kind out of a hundred thousand has ever heard of such a man, but he would have no need or desire for it, and if he did it would be well-night for him. He would have no means of doing nothing to be through the drug store in the town or village nearest to him. It is needless to say that no drug clerk would have to be in the town or village to risk of letting him have it. In the large cities the police have unearthed a baker's oven or cases victims to the seductive nature of the drug dealer, caused the public calm by the Constitution. As to the drinking of whiskey, it can be sometimes and in this respect is not much unlike other laborers. But he does not make it one of the alms of his life. He out some illicit or "moonshine" driller, run by some of his white neighbors or in a bridge home with him a little black, full of the stuff commonly called "mountain dew" which has never been gauged by the urinary afternoon and night he takes his "drama" and by Sunday morning the jug is empty and the owner after his breakfast means the "night before partake of an inebtrant. For him to be known as a drunkard means that he must immediately seek other places of employment and be turned out of his home, and that he must almost never than almost anything else that could befall him. Bedridden, it is a hard thing to obtain whiskey in the rural regions of the United States, where the extent and sentiment is strong against the sale of whiskey. But for the occasional ill-treated distiller it would be impossible to obtain whiskey in the counties of most of the Southern states, a matter of congratulation that, wherever they can vote on the question, the black have strongly cast their ballots against them and have never witnessed the proposition was being voted on. The first hale of cotton of the crop of this year has just been sold. It was grown by the farmer in a farm brought twenty-three cents per pound. For the farmer, it has been bringing the first hale to town, in spite of the fact that he had been opposed to the abolition, and it is considered outweighed by a distinction in hale of the fleece staple. This farmer, who lives near Albany in this State, has brought more than 1000 acres to a science. Indeed, so great is his labor that he is considered an expert by people all over the State. He knows to a fraction just the amount of labor, and money it takes to produce a cotton crop. How to pitch his crops so that he may obtain the best results financially. The result that he has made a considerable amount of cotton growing. He employs quite a number of laborers and they seem to be doing well. THOMAS H. MAYNE.

GREENSTONE Mr. Volunteered to Do Browns Active Led in Fight for His Rights Not Got Few Followers—A Killing -Front" at the Hands of Washington People—His Soul Hurts On. Salt Correspondence of Tun Amr. Boston, July 31.—A sow weeks ago there passed away in a foreign land a fine type of the Americans. He did not belong to the type which is so much in evidence to day—so much in vogue today. He was a man who believed that there is something better in the world than dollars and dividends. He believed that liberty is better than banks and farms and factories, than mines and ships and markets. He might have lived in 1776, for his was the spirit of 1776. And had he done so he would have promptly shouldered his market and joined the ranks of the embattled farmers whose shot in that struggle for freedom was "board round the world." But if he did not live in 1776 he lived in times as great. He lived in 1861 and was an actor in the mighty conflict to preserve the Union. He was, however, more than a mere soldier in that war, entitled to save the Union; he was a knight of freedom likewise. He fought for both then, for liberty and Union, and he fought for them both to the end of his brave and true life. Who, pray, was this fine type of the American? It was Albion W. Tourgee, the famous author of "A Fool's Errand" and "Bricks Without Straw," two books which made a great stir about twenty-five years ago in America. He was never willing, and he was not of the sort of soldier to sacrifice liberty to union. He desired with all his big heart to see both perpetuated. Union was indeed dear to him, but it was ever a union with liberty, and he strove not to preserve the first at the expense of the second. If he was a soldier of the Union he was ever minded also of his obligations as a knight of freedom. And true obligations as a noble man, there was none than this brave man who has so recently left us in France. The memory of such a faithful friend ought to be sweet in the heart of the race which he served with a rare devotion so many years of his burry life. And doubtless it is. At least we hope so. He came conspicuously upon the stage after most of the great anti-slavery leaders had left it. Thad. Stevens had gone, and Charles Sumner. Gossiam was about to set out on that long journey whence no traveler returns, while a few more years yet remained to Wendell Phillips. It meant much to the race at that time, when old and tried friends were making one by one their final exits from the stage, the entrance upon it of this fresh young knight of freedom to take up the banner by the dawn he had held it bravely into the thick of the surrounding conflict. Tourgee's "A Fool's Erend" and "Bricks Without Straw" bore this banner of liberty to the natural range of the Nation, to the natural range of the battle between the hosts of freedom and of above of slavery. He went to the front at the turning of the tide. The forces of freedom were giving way and those of slavery were advancing. The forces of slavery were gaining around and numbers at one and the same time, and those of freedom were gaining around and numbers at another time also. The retreating army of freedom had virtually relinquished to the army of slavery all that it had won by the war and the Reconstruction measures in the old slave States. Slavey occupied in those States every important position which it had evacuated but a few years before. And the army of freedom having lost everything the South, the beginning of the civil war, North Public opinion was starting to run strongly against the poor Negro throughout this section. It was at such a perilous moment that Judge Tourge, leading gallantly a forlorn hope, attempted to arrest this hostile public opinion, endangered with pen and tongue to turn this sidewise of battle, to break the fast that the North. When he had no more books to write he went on the platform, and he arrived in the press with his cause, cause of the poor Negro, the cause of freedom. At last he literally went up down the North trying to beat back forces of slavery, of reaction and criti- which were then swarming from the into the North like bees in spring, the North like a dust storm, for the Northern people were then everywhere into their Sweet was the honey thus pre- fered for the two sections, but for the North his friends there was nothing from these Southern swarms. Judge Tourgee say this, of good feeling between come to harden the heart of the Negro, he turned toward the Negro as a fierce he made Tourgee was confident Negro could make a success- ful obstacle that he had the man- hood and the power. The race in the frontier needed cour- ship. Judge Tourgee of- self to lead it to victory. But a struggle it needed more than hit. It needed an army, organized behind the leader to make successful. Alas! he was able to get together more than a dozen of colored people to back the light for their rights which he liked. their own cause which this brave man had undertaken to champion. He for a hearing for this cause the door of the North, and when the North refused to hear him, he turned to Negro, and the Negro refused finally to hear him also. The last time he appeared in Washington to address the colored people on rare question he received an experience which made him sick at heart, and ended him so deeply, that the memory that bitter experience must have endured with him to the last days of his life. Instead of an immense audience, of thousands having been turned away for lack of accommodations, the fourth contained hardly more than a dozen of people. The neglect, the indifference, Washington was cruel, painful. But the utter lack of interest, the shocking apathy, respect to their rights and wrongs which the incarcerated, hurt him far more deeply than the other, came near to breaking the living man's heart. We do not believe that justice Two thousand people around dealt him by Washington colored people that right. He was intimately and closely and discouraged. He had not been afraid to face the South or the North or both on this question of questions to him, the right of the Negro to equal citizenship in the Republic. The greater the resistance which he encountered from the people of the North and from the people of the South at this point only nerved him to put forth greater strength and skill in its defence. But it altogether the people for whom he was fighting woke themselves indifferent, that they of all people were lukewarm, tired of the question. What did he see? He saw that the colored people were not willing to deny themselves in any respect for the cause which ought to be dearer to them than life itself. He had asked for an hour of their time and they denied it him. Was money necessary to conduct an agitation like the one which he had started? They would not contribute twenty-five dollars to aid it. Was organization necessary? They would not get together and stay together a week, even if the salvation of themselves and their descent came upon it then and for generation thereafter. How he needed of a strong newspaper to did him. They would not have contributed fifty dollars to start such a paper, and after it had been started they would not have paid their annual subscription to the same when due. Now, Judge Tourgee after that Washington meeting had no heart for the sort of fight which the colored people had left him to make alone. He could not comment even for the sake of their freedom to car such a sorry figure, of farinace himself, and accuse in the big auditorium of a big church in the capital of the Nation. Although a host in himself, he did not care to speak a second time to such a host. And so, as he was not appreciated, was not wanted, by the colored people he withdrew into the retirement of private life. President McKinley appointed him' a few weeks ago. That he was hard hit in his experience with the colored people, we know. In a letter to a friend he expressed himself freely, although without bitterness. He had lost faith in the capacity of the race for any organized movement for the recovery of their political or civil rights. Indeed, the colored people gave Judge Browne ground for his disbelief in their abolition and use of the purpose. He tried them and they failed him most egregiously. Others have tried them also, and the failure of these others has been as conspicuous and complete as was that of the judge. What is the matter with us as a race in this respect? Are we capable of any large, extended, organized movement looking to the maintenance of our rights, or the redressing of our wrongs? If ever ought to get to get together and stay together for self-preservation for life,ervation in this country that race is the colored race. Divided, its enemies destroy its rights one after another, and divided it has been up to the present time. It is in its old slave blood which makes for division. As this old slave blood is drained out of the race in the year to come by education, by a growing sense of its ignorance, perseverance, out of its ignorance, perseverance, and distrust the qualities and forces essential to unity, to organization. Until then individual workers will have to be patient with the race as a whole and with one another. They must get together wherever and whenever they can do so, and stay together as long as possible. Meantime the work must go on and will be completed appropriately or jointly in rearing the structure of the new and equal citizenship of the race in America. Standing by the open grave of their illustrious friend, the colored people may start afresh to realise all of the great expectations in respect to a unified and organised race life, which Tourgee labored no hard to bring to pass in his day. Like Moses, he died before he so much as set foot, before the race had so much as set foot, in the promised land of unity, of its equality with other races before the race will not have lived in vain, though they dead, if the indomitable purpose which filled him shall live on still in the heart of the race which he defended in its passage through the wilderness of its multitudinous wrongs and miseries. MESSIAH'S 14TH LAWN PARTY. Booker's Church Gives Two Programs—Visit to Howard Orphan Aylum. YONKERS, July 21.—The 14th annual lawn party of the Messiah Baptist church was held on Wednesday and Thursday evenings of last week. An excellent musical program was rendered by the Progressive club of the church on the first evening.

George and Peter Downing, in whose carvers a very unusual thing among colored people happened—they followed in the same line of business as their father. It doesn't take a very long memory to recall, nor great age either to know personally, that Peter Downing was the last colored man to have the restaurant in the New York Custom House; a neat and well kept place, too, where his faithful wife was his chief aid, who generally supposed that Peter was laying up much tougher than the way, but he had not, to my recollection, the reputation of his father, of giving largely to the churches, nor in any particular way of laying up treasure in Heaven. George, T. Downing though was a greater character than we may ever know, from any competent pen. He was one of the greatest powers in the educational and political development of our country, and a boy, in "Charlie's Andrew's school, he showed his metal by refusing to obey the white principal's order that, when a colored woman visited the school, the scholar reporting her should say, "A colored woman wishes to see you," and white woman wishes to see the scholar should report, "lady wishes to you." George reported a colored woman visitor as "a lady" and got thrusted; his father raised a hubbub, and the colored people joined-in, with the result that this incident furnished the spark to the powder that was already in the city, of discontent with white teachers, and the women—John Peterson and Ransom F. Wake. My personal knowledge of George T. Downing begins at Newport, R. I., where even, in my boyhood he had amassed considerable wealth and was the proud possessor of the most select, if not the largest, hotel in that city of the rich. No colored citizen, it seems, could be said to have been a Sen-Girt House; none seemed to be happy who had not been invited to visit the Downing home. Nevertheless, George was restless, he wanted to be in the midst of the fight at short range, too, of the Reconstruction period. He could not be elected or appointed from Rhode Island to place at the Capital at Washington and his business instinct led him to the place in the Capital building where he kept the reservation and friendship of those men whose names shall never perish in American history. There was something in the man from Rhode Island inspiring, worth listening to, something that Charles Summer, Henry Wilson, Wendell Phillips, Frederick Doulgast, John M. Langston, Robert K. Elliott, Henry Highland Garnet, Richard L. Greene and he like well enough to care; for the writer all must these men at George Downing's home in as close conference as if in an executive session of the United States Senate in those troubles days when the whole race was eagerly watching Washington for news of the Reconstruction. We shall never know how much George Downing contributed to the legislation of that period, simply because he did not know how much friendship existed between Summer and Downing. I doubt very much whether any one of our race, not excepting either John J. Smith or Lewis Hayden of Boston, influenced Summer in matters of legislation, or had his confidence to a larger degree than George T. Downing. But then, as I have already said, Downing held no office, and he shall never have any office, and he will be the result of his advice and influence. When all the rest, even Doulgast, deserted Summer and stood by Grant in the Presidential campaign of 1872, Downing stood proudly by the side of Summer. In this city, as a young man and boy, George T. Downing was, as before mentioned, a scholar in the Mulberry street school, and became a member of the "Old 9th Class," as it was afterward affectionately called, with classmates that some of us are so proud to remember, Thomas S. Sidney, Washington Davis, George Moore, Edward Marshall, Henry Highland Garnet and many others. He finished what we should now call his high school or college period, in the Select Classical School that was kept at the corner of Mercer and Canal streets, New York city, and received a further polishing at the hands of that very able teacher, Isaiah De Grasse. He was devoted to educational matters in the city of New York to an equal degree, posing with Dr. William Smith, Dr. Philip A. White, and Rev. Charles R. Ray. Brooklyn, SAMUEL R. SCOTTROX.

The Los Angeles Globe:—"It is a work that possesses remarkable visuality. The book is timely, ardent, and fairly written, and should prove of interest to the readers of both races concerned. The Columbia (S. C.) State:—"The book possesses a real value. It is, perhaps, the most important view of a Negro that has been published. The Cincinnati Times-Star:—"As a work of reference the broad scope of the book makes it valuable." The Army and Navy Journal: "Dr. Simkin discusses currently held entitley and with frankness, intelligence and philosophic spirit the essential elements of what is commonly termed 'the Negro question.' He is fair and plainspoken in his plan in behalf of his race, which he contends, is entitled to a larger measure of justice, sympathy and encouragement than it has yet received, and he makes out a case which reasonable men will recognise as deserving."

The brutal outrage perpetrated during the recent "race riots" upon inoffensive Afro-American citizens by the police seem likely to recoil upon their beads. By no one, except Commissioner McAdoo, whose enthusiasm over the force too often outruns his judgment, has the behaviour of the police in these "riots" been praised; on the contrary, it has caused blistering denunciation from the most influential members of the metropolitan press, we mean the Times, the World, the Evening Post and the Evening Mail. Even ex-Obie-Dery was provoked from his retreat to utter an emphatic condemnation of police assaults upon innocent. Afro-Americans. So nearly unanimous, indeed, has been the public indignation in the matter that from the evil of the "riots" there seems likely to be brought forth good of a far-reaching character. The most hopeful and important result of the "riots" is the organization or foot of the Afro-American citizens of Greater New York for the protection of their civil rights, which are becoming to be too frequently and too insolently invaded in this city, notably in restaurants, hotels and places of public accommodation, mainly on account of the great influx of white Southerners, who bring their prejudices with them and, like missionaries of the Devil, seek converts, with success, among white New Yorkers. The organization intended to hand off this tendency was caused immediately by the conduct of the police in the "race riots," but plans to institute itself as a permanent defender of our civil rights in New York. As we have from the first demand such an organization, we heartily congratulate those who are furthering it and shall bend them all the aid in our power. Heaven helps those who help themselves. This organization will not deal in mere resolutions, but will be merely active in the prosecution of the odious police villains who caused the death of Arthur Moody, broke Robert Christopher's leg after he was immurated in the 65th street station and, screened behind the dark, heat helpless Afro-Americans into insensibility. The success of the organization is the more assured by the fact that two powerful white civic organizations of the city have asked permission to have their counsel co-operate with that of the Afro-Americans in running down and punishing 'condignly the rascals in police uniforms.' The growth of Southern sentiments in the North must be nipped in the bind. Boer Colonization in Venezuela General Samuel Pearson, formerly of the Boer army but now a resident of Seronan, Pa., recently returned from a tour of investigation in Venezuela, and has been delivering himself of some decided opinions concerning that country and its government. He states his firm conviction that this South American republic has been outragedly misrepresented to the American people. It appears that General Pearson's mission was to investigate and report as to the feasibility of establishing a colony of his countrymen in Venezuela, from among those who are unwilling to remain under British rule in the former Transvaal Republic. His return brought with it the report that concessions of a million or more acres of land had been made by the government of President Castro for the purpose of settlement by from three thousand to fifty thousand Boers. One thing is certain, that General Pearson returned a warm advocate of the Castro administration and enthusiastic over the riches of the country awaiting development. During his stay in Venezuela, where his mission was generally known and viewed with favor by the newspapers of Caracas and as a matter of course by the government, General Pearson was afforded special facilities for the exploration of Guayana, in the region of the Orinoco river. Before his departure from the country, he summarized the results of his trip, together with his conclusions, in a letter published in El Constitucional, the leading daily and government organ of Caracas. He was of the opinion that with good immigration, a remodeled mining code and a railroad traversing the gold region, much could be expected of that section. Cotton, coffee, cocon, fruits and immense quantities of magnificent woods could be exploited and an immense quantity of cattle, horses, Angora goats and other animals could be raised. All that is needed, said he, is new people, to be mixed with those that are already there, in order to better produce these things. This expression, together with the declaration of the Caracas-papers that what the country needs is a good class of immigration, would seem to give corroboration to the general statements as to the movement of the Boers. The fact that the government has recently decreed the construction of a railroad to the region of the mines also shows a disposition to furnish the means needed for development. That the Boers would furnish the requisite human element in the development of the natural resources of the country is not to be gainaid, but the live question is as to how a people of their characteristics would fit. Since the social and political structure of a country like Venezuela. The chief reason attributed for this Blue movement to Venezuela in the indisposition of the conquered people to live under British rule in South Africa. The first question would seem to be, can they reasonably expect to find a larger measure of self-government under so centralised a system of administration an obtains in the country they would go to. It may be that they have secured guarantees to that effect; if so, well and good so long as the government that grants them maintains its grip on public power, which the present administration bids fair to do. But a change of government might bring about a reversal of polley that would play havoc with the movement, especially if its success were such as to arouse the avidity of corrupt officials. On the other hand, it is to be considered whether the Boer policy, as manifested in their dealings with the natives in South Africa, is a good thing to introduce into a country like Venezuela, especially at its present stage of development, with a large mixed population of Indian and African origin. While the former element, which is less progressive than the latter, might submit to the barbarous treatment practised by the Boers when they ruled the roost in South Africa, it is quite certain that the African element would not submit to it; and that would lead to more trouble. It may be, however, that adversity has taught the Boers the sadly needed lesson of doing unto others as they would be done by, and that if they make a new start on this continent, they will adopt milder methods in their intercourse with colored races. If they desire to build up their fallen fortunes in South America, it will be to their interest to adopt such a course, as no government of that section either could or would sustain them in the brutal methods that prevailed under their rule in South Africa. The South American republics shed too much blood in throwing off the yoke" of the Spanish tyranny to permit another bondage of that character. It being granted, then, that the Boers are allowed a reasonable latitude in administering the internal affairs of the communities that they may establish, with freedom from governmental interference or evictions, and on the other hand that those communities refrain from oppression of the natives by whom they may be surrounded, the projected influx of Boers may turn a good thing for Venezuela, as the country is indomitable, susceptible of great development and the burgers possess many of the qualities that make good pioneers in the building up of a country. A Bluff Which Worked. We are surprised that the New York Tribune has suffered itself to be taken in by the Macedonian crisis for "more efficient labor" which issue so pitiously from the cotton belt. This demand, the Tribune should know, is nine parts "bluff" and is merely one manpower in that insidious campaign by which the South has misunderstood, with too much success, to abate the Afro-American and his hereditary friend, the Northern white man. The average white Southerner will not allow the Afro-American the praise of success in any department; and has unjustly written him down for the benefit of the North as a failure in politics, education and now in industry. One single fact should amply measure the *Tribune*, which preaches a column warning to the Afro-American cotton cultivator that he is in danger of being pushed to the wall. Last year the cotton crop, raised almost wholly by black hands, so much excavated the demand that bales upon bales were committed to the flames, and this year a campaign was on throughout the cotton belt for the reduction of the average in cotton. If the South was so distressed by the achievements of its "shiftless" inefficient" labor force of Afro-Americans, it would probably be driven to despair by such mammoth crops as it expects Italian laborers would produce. Let the *Tribune* remember also how the South, at the same time it is clamoring for foreign laborers, is wrathfully chasing out of the section such wicked emigration agents as try to tempt the Afro-American to leave it. Don't let the South dupe us. The Chinese Boycott and Labor Union Control of Immigration. The Chinese boycott of American products appears to spread in intensity and area. The Chinese, who have shown in times past that they are slow to anger, who have tolerated patiently American insolence and discrimination with marvelous good nature, as far as superficial evidence goes, now seem to be vindictively in earnest to suffer no longer this insolence and discrimination—such insolence and discrimination as the American Government and people note out to no other subjects of "a most favored nation," and such as would be tolerated not for a moment by any other such nation. The talk of subjecting the Japanese to the same conditions as the Chinese has met with a practical negation by the American newspapers, backed up by the American people. Why? Because the Japanese are a more bellicose people and insist more pronounced upon their rights than the Chinese. The Chinese exclusion act is harbours in spirit and brutal in exaction, and this will largely be true as long as the Immigration Bureau is turned over bag and baggage to the labor unions of the country to be administered as they will. This was the condition of affairs under the administration of the office under Commissioner General Powderly, and it is even more so under that of Commissioner General Sargent. These men have represented in the enforcement of the Immigration laws simply the labor unions, and their conception of duty has been not only coarse but brutal to a degree. As Now, why should this be true, or allowed? There are other instances represented and to be conserved in the provisions and enforcement of the Immigration laws than those of the labor unions, but this fact was ignored by President McKinley and would have been continued to be ignored by President Roosevelt if the business interests of the country, under pressure by the Chinese boycott, had not made themselves heard, and fell. When Dr. Booker T. Washington made a plea for fair play for the Chinese in his recent Montclair address he voiced the best and strongest sentiment of the American people. The response to his plea by the American press shows this to be true, and it also shows that as an expositor of honest, dominant American sentiment he stands among the foremost men of the Republic. We lay it down as an invariable rule of action in the enforcement of the Immigration laws, which the business interests of the country should take in hand, that there will be no change in the treatment of the Chinese, and no abatement of their indignation in the enforcement of their boycott, until the Bureau of Immigration is taken out of the control of the labor unions and placed under the control of a refined and broad-minded representative of all the interests directly concerned. Rally Around the Afro-American Council. That was a ringing letter, addressed by Bishop Alexander Walters to distinguished men of the race who have herefore been active in the work of the National Afro-American Council, but who during the past two years have become somewhat indifferent to its work, and published in THE LAST week. The letter had in it the ring of a master voice, proved by the highest and purest sentiment which can actuate a faithful son of a race which he loves. And there was present in it the enthusiasm, the optimism, of the courageous man who feels that he represents a righteous cause and is confident that those he addresses will rally to the call to action. And over and above those named by Bishop Walters there are vastly many more who will understand that the call was addressed to them as well and will respond to it. It has been even so in times past, and it will be even so in the present instance. The Detroit meeting of the Council should be one of the most largely attended and fruitful in good results in the History of the Council. Why should it be otherwise? Was there ever a time in the history of the race when the good work of the Council was more needed to be done? We think not. Effective organization is the most necessary factor in the life of a people. This fact stands out in brave characters on the lettered page of every race, ancient, or modern. And no other organization has represented or does represent what the Afro-American Council does. It has had continuous existence since 1890. It has done all that was possible, with the means at its command, in furtherance of the objects for which it stands, and has stood and will stand, for the men behind the Council insecure the principles of race rights, race progress along normal lines, and of assertion of honest manhood and constitutional guaranty which make for correct living and honorable citizenship. We believe that the best men of the race will rally to the support of the Council at Detroit, because it unselfishly stands for what is highest and best in the honorable manhood and just citizenship of the race stands without bluster, without bravado, without the pride that goes before a fall, but with the faith and courage that move mountains. The Business League and "The Stumble Life." The Washington Rec has an editorial over a column long, in long primer type, headed, in which it condemns the extravagance of the arrangements being made for the entertainment of the members of the National Negro Business League, and reads a sermon on "The Simple Life" after hitching the responsibility for the alleged extravagance on the president of the League, who is a prophet of economical living and the efficacy of a bank account. Now, it is well known that the arrangements for the entertainment of the delegates to the League convention are in the hands of a committee of New York business men, "who will spare no pains or expense" to make the entertainment of the delegates "all that the most fastidious could desire." The National Business League officials will have nothing to do with the arrangements of the local committee, and "The Simple Life" will have less to do with it. The delegates will be entertained in proper style by the local committee, because New Yorkers do such things in that way: Come over, Editor Chase, you big bluffer, and enjoy the good things, and bring your plug hat with you. Portleen Bormen the Job According to a special dispatch to the New York Herald, Councilman Thomas E. Postles, an Anti-American, "who holds the municipal government of Wilmington in the hollow of his hand," "has tied up the city council." The council consists of six Republicans, six Democrats and Mr. Postles, who was elected as an Addicks Republican. For some reason Mr. Postles refused to go into canoe with the white Republicans, but instead made a deal with the Democrats, who united with him in filling the city offices, one of the new appointees being Joseph E. Postles, a son of the councilman, as clerk to the city treasurer. The Republicans denounce Mr. Postles for his course, but as he has two years to serve there does not appear to be any help for it. The Democrats are firmly bound to him, as his vote with the Republicans, would turn out of office two of their subjects who are holding over. The situation is not without its amusing side and adds another illustration to the progress of the race in the devious game of politics. The fact that Mr. Pouthes is a follower of J. Edward Addicks is significant. Gold and Silver Watches The concern, as exemplary as unexpected of our neighbor the Times, as to whether the Kainer, in giving George Ellis a silver instead of a gold watch, was not guilty, of drawing the color line on him, seems to us a bit gratuitous. The explanation of the gift is that, in Europe silver watches are held in higher esteem than they are in this country, being often bestowed as gifts in preference to gold ones. The Kainer seems in this case to have simply obeyed continental elitique. Besides, the intrinsic value of a gift from a personage like the German Emperor, who heides the splendor of his position, commands admiration for his personal qualities, becomes zero in comparison with the extrinsic value it acquires through his giving it. The bronze Victoria Cross would receive no added value if it were solid gold, bees with gems. The increment of real value which Ellis' watch would have gained had it been made of gold is, under the circumstances, infinitual. CIVIL RIGHTS IN CONNECTICUT. Temperate Advice as to Behavior Under New Statute. To the Editor of the New York Aon: Will you please publish in your next issue a copy of the Civil Rights bill passed by the Legislature of the State of Connecticut, which becomes a law August 1, 1865? The bill is entitled, "An Act Concerning Discrimination on Account of Altenage, Race, or Color," and reads as follows: We hope that the Afro-American citizens of Connecticut will realize that adding our citizens to our public statutes has not only given us our public privileges, but has increased our obligations and duties to State and society. Caws are made to protect the civilized man, the lawful citizen, the rowdy; therefore, when we are conducting ourselves in a gentlemanly manner in any public place and are discriminated against because of race or color, let us abstain from any conduct that would dissonon as a gentleman should; and if this does not secure relief, ask the law to establish our right to enjoy those privileges because of race or color, and to defend every citizen in this State. We publish and admire with the public this is the mark of true manhood. Keep within the pale of our statutes, become necessary to defend yourself from the criminal treade, be a gentleman and make the constituted authorities your defense. When you take this course you thwart the designs of bodily oppression and make yourself a moral hero and make a civil law-abiding and peace-loving citizen. We hope that our elergy and those among us who are capable of using an intelligent influence, will shape the course of our people in their observance of those principles in the book in this bill, so that we may gain the most important aspect of the public in general instead of its disgust and aversion.

Already the colored man is a formidable force in the South African colony. The native vote in this colony has become the primary动力 the natives are pressing the numerical advantage of whites have already raised the question of a suffrage limitation to save themselves from a numerical advantage. It is clear enough that this expedient will must them. The population of Cape Colony, including territories, is in round numbers, 225,000,000. Day by day the power of the political grows. The gate of the political grows, to open, to him, and he is not slow to enter. The Spartan, where are a remarkably fond race, and where are a remarkably bold race, and where are a relatively, much fewer and more attractive, area of all the black man's country, and all the climatic conditions and the congenial environment of a native habitat, can do to To all other influences now tending to the development of the Negro to a higher social and political rank must be added in South Africa, as in this country. For in South Africa, as in this country, "take" to education with remarkable readiness and success. According to the Cape University educational report, published three months ago, the number of children receiving education, in the high schools of the colony at the end of last year was 91,313 colored and 60,840 white. The number of children coming from the slum of centuries, and from the remarkable feature of this awakening than their almost inestable thirst for knowledge and the territories are literally covered, are territories alone having several hundreds. These schools are manned very largely by teachers who have passed one or other of the Cape University qualifying examinations. All this means, in brief, and in plaint language, that South Africa is surely desiderate to distant day to come under native rule to the African Negroes for Negroes. Attempts at dissuade punishment and limitations of the suffrage will only hasten, the day of Negro supremacy. Credit for New York's Mixed Schools. From the Philadelphia Courant. Independence Courant. The New York Aux has recently been trying to set itself right as to the credit due that journal or the latest editor, Mr. Fortune, in advocating new mixed teachers in the State of New York. He remember, away back, when Mr. Fortune was alone in that contention, and he was right to the law, and fruits of his labors. the editor of the Courant has contended for the Philadelphia, and is still of the same opinion. The laws of Pennsylvania declare against the schools for Negroes. It is the duty of the teachers to upon the execution of that law both in upon the instruction, as well as the mixing of the scholars. If we have one, why not have them up and do his duties, if the Negro but rise up and do his duties. The coming and going of the vessels of various nationalities, as they enter the beautiful barber- and more alongside the so-called stairman, 2,000 feet in length, is a continuous source of entertainment and in connection to the children, as well as those of rider years. The little matrias make it a source of profit also, some of them being such expert divers that they regenerate tossed in the water as an inducement for them to display their skill. The loading of the cattle steamers for Cubs is always a live proceeding, being dubbed by some juvenile readers of Kipling as "the elephant dancer." The cattle are confined in a barred enclosure awaiting shipment, and when the drivers seek to direct them through the narrow passage or gangway that leads up to the stairman's side, they sometimes get milled around in a circle that threatens to involve the mass in inextricable confusion. The shouting of the drivers in Spanish as they thrust their long goals against the title of the frightened animals adds to the noise and confusion, and one can easily believe that they are veritable vampires from the plains. At last the passengers are safely embarked in the stalls arranged in tiers, some steamers carrying 500,100, and 1,000, and set sail for the ever faithful Isle, where they go to replace the herds exterminated in the long struggles for independence. The Italian and Spanish steamers are remarkable for their size and decorative trimmings around the bow and stern, though many carry the ornamental figureheads that used to be the fashion in marine architecture of a few decades past. The British, the American, French, Dutch and American, are smaller, and of trimmer build. A feature of the steamers built of late is the number of steerage passengers they carry bound for the Isthmus of Panama, presumably in the construction of the canal, though they include men, women and children. An amusing scene was presented while one of these steamers was lying at the wharf, as these steerage passengers bartered the remnants of their ship's fare with the vendors of fruits. A large bread roll would be exchanged for an orange or two bananas, the articles of food being tossed from ship to shore and vice versa, catch-a-catch-can, after the terms of exchange had been agreed upon by signs. When it came to disposing of the unconsumed macaroni and half bottles of wine, more care had to be exercised, and the wharf vendors would shim up a cable along the vessel's side until they could reach the pan or bottle. The male steerage passengers had many of them partaken of their morning meal standing on the open deck and eating from tin plates which were supplied from a large tin pan. After the meal one of the men washed the plates in the pan with a medium of water, polished them with a cloth and placed them in the sun on the box that served for a table. One man whom the spectators styled "the artist-ocrat," was evidently tired of taking his meals standing in such cramped quarters. Through some he gained the pier with his tin plate of provender and a bottle of wine, and selecting one cask for a table and another for a clutch, he discussed his meal with every evidence of satisfaction, generously proffering his panch-shaped bottle to any who accosted him. A recent sailing day of the American line furnished an incident not on the regular program, but none the less thrilling on that account. As the hour for casting off the hawser approached It was discovered that one of the lines had become entangled around a blade of the screw propeller. The hawser himself took charge of the task of getting the line off and with the first officer and two natives crewed up the spot in a host directly under the rudder. One of the divers worked under water seeking to free the rope, but he did not receive much assistance from the other, who seemed reluctant to trust his head below the surface. After a half hour or more had been spent without any further result but cutting the line above the trouble, the captain's patience became exhausted, and he called out to the second officer, who had earlier volunteered to undertake the job "Get of your clothes, Mr. A. A. and come down here. His getting dark and we can't stay here all night." The second officer, who was attired in this white uniform, quickly sought, his eyes narrowing a few minutes, later enveloped by a long rain coat. Walking way afte, he cast off the coat, appearing in bathing trunks. Mounting the toh rail, he took a beautiful leader into the harbor, and as he came up soon for the scene of the trouble. Diving down by the propeller he soon came up with a portion of the cranky line, which the captain grasped and savagely chipped in two. The remainder was soon disentangled by the amphibious second officer, and retiring the aid of the boat. He swam to the landing stairs, where rain coat and slippers as a aid him, and went up the side in more prosek fashion than he had descended. And the steamer sailed only an hour late. Another means of diversion is found in driving, despite the lack of good roads and the deplorable appearance of most of the horses hewed to the stable vehicles for hire. The private rigs are generally well-appointed with well-fed and well-groomed steeds. On the newcomers' advent into the town they put in an hour in one of the rickety open carriages called by courtesy a "cooche," being driven through the narrow streets, with here and there a puddle of mud or heap of stones to vary the monotony. But that was a circumstance to the jolls and bumps encountered in a drive through the hills, which might easily pass for mountains, back of the town, to the pretty little settlement of San Esteban, in the suburb. After ascending the first ridge of hills the road led for miles alongside a coffee plantation, lying in a deep valley. The coffee bushes were growing beneath the glade of the banana trees, the tops of the latter being just level on the roadway, while the coffee plants were barely discernible in the depths below. The cacao grew in the same way, while the orange, bread fruit and other tropical growths were not liced later on. The sides of the road were bordered by a wealth of vegetation embracing vines and bushes bearing flowers of various colors, which almost made one distinct to the jars and jolls which threatened to overturn the vehicle and its cargoes into the dectivity alongside. Now and then a native from the country was encountered either leading or beheading a patient little long-earned burrow, with a small stock of sugar cane in the city market. Arrived at San Esteban, a number of bundles country places were to be observed, mostly occupied by wealthy German doing business in the port of greater interest, the slightest were the native jolls, some of only one room, while others boasted more, but in all of which the pigs and the towls, seemed to equal privileges with the non-fitted beeholes. A much superior dwelling, however, was one occupied by the village marm with her sister, two elderly who possessed considerable ground, including an orange grove. In their garden, which bordered on a murmuring stream, the visitors were treated to lemon, orange and guava plucked from the trees in their presence. It was fortunate for the those that they were not dependent on the teacher's aid for their livelihood, as it was learned that her salary was in attracts for two years. Besides being the only educational institution in the village, this house was the temporary shrine, for a saint, whose image, life size, was displayed with misgled pride and humility. It seems that the religious feast destined to hold the image was not yet constructed, although the bells were seen hanging from a beam on the roundtable. Further on from the residence of these good sisters the river took its way brawling and dashing over peaks and spreading out into broad and plaid pools. In one of those a whole family was found performing their workful ablations and laundry work. The latter was godlessly bashing the hard wood burro, the mother was putting some on the rocks, while the three children seaked themselves in the refreshing salt. The sight so appealed to me unhindered town cochero that he unhindered his coat, sore backed team and bed them the water for similar treatment. Another excursion was made on horse although the riding through the town was pretty hard, folting over the town pavement or pushing through cobbly spikes, the warranted to shake up the river. On the outskirts the riders fell and a narrow bench on path alongside the railroad track, dashing the low bushes on the side and the ends of the railroad ties on the other. After reaching a wall of masonry, said to be the remnant of an aqueduct built by the Spaniards a century of two age, a hard dirt road was encountered leading through a growth of palm and coconut trees to the outlying village of Golguazan. Several bridges were crossed on the route, and a few native habitations dotted the landscape. The other travelers on the road included, wheeled and those on horseback or in vehicles, bound from their work in the town to their home in the suburbs and natives from the country with their burros bearing loads of wood ororage. The latter greeted the strangers on passing with a courteous "Huenos tardos" or "Good afternoon." JEROME B. PETTERSON CONTEMPORARIES LIKE THE AGE Fur.

Local Branch of National News League Taking Up Police Battles in "Race Riot" - Personnel League to safeguard Civil Rights Projected by Leading New Yorkers. The brutality of the metropolitan police in the all-called "race riot" has stirred up the indignation of Afro-American New Yorkers to the sticking point, that is, they are making practical preparations not only to punish this offense against the race, but to discourage and, if possible, prevent such offenses in the future. The initiative in this matter was taken by Her.

He was done, the necessary attitudes aside from what had already been done in order to successfully prescribe the police律 which should be ordered by Commissioner McMahon, and also to be by action of the civil suits. A fund will be used as a nucleus to secure full and adequate prosecutions to a successful end of the objects of the league.

Public Conscience Awakening to Religious Books of "Black Roots" In Our Great Chicago, Unpublished Letters of R. R. Wright at Trinity Minneapolis Settlement in Chicago House. Regular Correspondence of The Ann Chicago, Ill., July 31.—The social settlement idea of seeking out and helping the masses has at last reached down and out in search of the socially neglected people of the Negro race. Only recently has it occurred to the social workers that those who speak a foreign tongue and belong to the "muberegent tenth" are not the only ones in need of guidance, protection and encouragement. A big 'Northern city' is a trying place for a plantation Negro who has escaped from Aransasau, Minnesota or elsewhere in the rural South. He finds himself segregated in the most unanimary and forbidding parts of the city. Race prejudice compels the virtuous and the vicious to live in close proximity. There is no such thing as escaping the "black belt" for those who deserve a better habitation. What is worse still, the "black belt" is not only black, it is also the neglected spot in the city. Things are allowed to go from bad to worse with no hope of relief. In other parts of the city where the poor and the ignorant are compelled to live, there is always some effort being made for social improvement. There is always some mission, some visiting nurse, evangel of mercy, some student of sociology, or some effort and somebody to bring a ray of light and promise into these moors and corvettes in the mistrust of all kinds. Not so with our "block habit." Here we have stagnation and worse. The best of us are poor and have nothing to divide, either of time, money or heart. We are apt to excuse ourselves with the plea that the black man's misfortunes and burden we have not had time or heart to cultivate a sense of responsibility for the life of the neglected amongst us. We have not yet become strong enough to ask ourselves the question, "Am I my brother's keeper?" The great social sin of the day is that thousands who might be saved, if but knew how, and possessed the will, to save them. But a new spirit is rising within us. There are signs of an out-reaching of heart and hand in quest of new duties. A sense of civic responsibility begins to manifest itself, with a generosity of patience and significance. What is being done in New York, in Newark, New Jersey, in the slum districts of Washington, D.C., and finally in Chicago is most encouraging. The fact that this new work in the neglected quarters of our large cities is inspired and carried on, in the main, by the passion of the community and careful training for the work, is perhaps the best assurance that it is not merely a bad, but is something that is striking its roots down into the very heart of our civic life. In Chicago what is known as the Trinity Mission is cemented in an interest of this new movement in behalf of the neglected colored people. Trinity Mission is located down in the dreadful part of the "black belt." It is on West 18th street between Clark and State streets. In this district there is not a single agency of social redemption, but a community of social descent. It is in the environment that the Trinity Mission settlement is creating a place for itself. The founder and warden of this centre of helpfulness is a young man who is a B. A. graduate of Chicago University and took a course of study in the Berlin in Wurzach, Germany. His name is R. W. Wright, Jr. Georgia and Prof. R. H. Wright, one of the most prominent and successful educators in the South. When Mr. Wright graduated, flattering offers came to him from all parts of the South to teach in the different schools and colleges. I know of no Negro scholar, fresh from university honors, who has been so much sought after. Mr. Wright had had the courage resolutely to turn away from all such offers and adhere to his original purpose. While a student of the Chicago University, he made a careful study of the conditions of the colored people. He saw here the possibilities of a work that other men saw "but passed by, on the other side. But he had seen the vision splendid," and he had seen "the firmness that the work became of supreme importance to him. He clearly saw that unless something was done to save the city Negro from city vices, race prejudice would increase to an alarming extent in the North and belief in the possibility that Negro of city ship would justify all sorts of injustice and restrictions. I do not know of a finer example of self-sacrifice among our cultured young men, but I am glad that we already realized, in many positive and painful ways, that hard work, no money and a denial of all social pleasures must be his portion perhaps for a long time. Such considerations on the part of this capable young man are of great importance in its influence and effect upon others. It has in it the quality of prophecy, the Wright man plumed with beginning to receive substantial encouragement. He has a three-story building, in which he has already a kindergarten, day nursery, reading room, sewing school, and apartments for working girls. The Federated Woman's Clubs, under the leadership of Mrs. L. K. Wright, have received assistance to Mr. Wright. He is also receiving much substantial aid from men and women of wealth, who understand the value of this kind of service to the forgotten and neglected. This movement is fortunate not only in having a university man at its head, but also in having a university man, gontboaring and strong sympathies. Though a preacher by profession, he is wholly without cant' and unusually tolerant and liberal in his religious views. I believe it is not too much to prophecy that if Mr. Wright is permitted to carry out any duty, he is destined to be one of the marked men of the near future. In the case of this young evangelist of good work, we have an interesting example of the value of a good inheritance. The law of heredity would have been tricked if there had been a right. It. Wright the father, is now in the city and an eager student of the new methods of saving men and women from the blight of a city's plague spots, as they are being worked out by his son. The older Wright seems both surprised and entranced by the new laws of heredity, and Wright, Worthy father, worthy son! It is not always so, but when it is, human nature is exalted and the world is always better for their living. This is the time of the year when Chicago becomes a Mecca, for visitors, attracted by the summer-resort features of the city, and people from all parts of the country. It is especially a coveted haven for the southern school student, particularly from the States of Louisiana, Georgia, Tennessee, Kentucky and Tennessee. From New York, he was a community visitor. The White House Dr. Dr. Robertson who did the strong thing of not sitting down in New England, Mom, though his home is in Tampa, is a visitor to his alma mater, the Chicago University, and to his old schoolhouse, Law. He is with his I. J. Dickerson, who is taking high rank as a socian. He is one of the all too few professional men who is not entitled to make a living only, but is ambitious to contribute something to the profession. Among other strives, I have the minister of the Church. His in Miller and his home is in Indianapolis. He is a cabinet-maker by trade and has worked in one shop for seventeen years. He is now foramen in the shop and all the workmen under him are white men. He is a graduate of his men, and there has never been a strike on account of his presence. The number of colored men who are then quietly and unanticipatedly contemplate their own strong individualities would be surprising, if generally known. The encouraging fact is that all our progress is not always in the broad highway of life, but in the books, in the newspapers, uttered in conventions, there is a constantly-increasing line of progress threading its way along the quiet path of every achievement, the works of many women who are not in the public eye. Rushin, speaking of the Roman people, says that "the Roman people did more and said less than any other nation that ever lived." It is well that we forcibly abolish the Roman empire is what we do and believe, rather than what we say, that in the long run makes and unmakes public opinion. Every day the race becomes richer in the examples of great empires that impress and shall give us characteries, power and independence. Scattered throughout this Western world from Illinois through the Dakotas are colored men and women doing very many things that are important and reassuring, because it proves that they are a character and the power of achievement. FANNIE BARRIS WILLIAMS. TRIUMPH FOR NEW YORK M. D. R. Approvedctomy Successfully Performed Under Adverse Conditions. The colored physicians in New York have long borne an enviable reputation for their uncommon skill in medicine and their heroic devotion to the Escapulart art in its multitudinous bearings or suffering humanity. They form an army of well-seasoned veterans, conquering diseases and alleviating sufferings wherever found; and their exploits stand out the more pleasingly prominent by virtue of the fact that in a large number of cases they are never consulted until after white physicians have been afforded fair opportunities for distinguishing themselves; and after these fall, and then only, the colored medicines are implored by these doubting offsprings of the race to come in and rectify the blunders of their Caucasian conferences. This they do willingly, and for an emolument that is seldom commensurate with their brilliant and efficient services. It cannot be too strongly emphasized that, constituted as we are, no one is so well-qualified to minister to the patients of colored physicians; and it is gratifying to note that the colored people in this city are fast realizing this. Ever since the advent of colored payal- ervation—there has been a strong suspicion among the laity that, although the physi- clians have more than proved their knowledge, they have done nothing, or very little, in a surgical way. And the question is often asked: Have the colored physicians done best of their Anglo-Haxon confessor? To this we can reply with confidence and say, "Yes," em- mphatically. Our physicians which refuses to be enlightened, the colored surgeons are seldom afforded opportunities to demonstrate their skill. Vanced colored persons will place them unreservedly in the hands of their colored surgeons to be operated upon, and have the happiest and most graffiti- ful experience will follow. Just recently—June 27—such an instance occurred in this city; and we record it, for unique cases in point of inadequacy of convenience that a surgeon was ever called upon to face. After the diagnosis of acute Pierre, the family physician, and verified by Dr. K. A. Taylor, of 297 West 40th street, the patient and her parent were apprised of the gravity of the case, and the necessity of appropriate care, and sized. The patient, Miss B—of 441 West 53th street, and her mother, with pressing and urgent concern in the aftermath, Pierre immediately responded to him; thus affording him an opportunity of exercising his best judgment and the commensal caution and with view, thoroughly safeguard the best interest of the patient, Dr. Pierre convened a second meeting with veterans of medical renown, Dr. K. C. Fraser, of 329 West 53th street, and Dr. York Russell, of 317 West 53th street, and Taylor. After a belief but most thorough and intelligent exchange of views between these gentlemen, a line of procedure was deposed upon and Dr. Pierre selected to execute The bravest and most competent surgeons balk at undertaking such major and delicate operations at any place other than the operating room. They are not the victims of eneances are all that may be desired; but here are heroes, four, who, discarding the frills and fancies of modern surgery; inculcating the virtues of such images and crude apprentices as were the only means their most readily obtained to such intelligent advantage that they can be a 12-day snatched from the laws of death and in the safety of friends in better health physically than she ever enjoyed before. Assisted by such an intellectual triumvirate—Ires, Fraser, Rus and Hancock—she has not been anything else but successful. The wound having healed by primary intention, the patient is now up and about, in perfect health, to the delight of herself, her relatives and their friends. Ivanhoe's Picnic. The Ivanhoe Commandery.

As representatives of the New England Afro-American Baptists we want to London, England, to attend the first session of the Baptist World Congress, and were therefore for, the first time in our lives "congressmen." We are reliably informed that the credit governing the idea of the Baptist World Congress belongs to the late Dr. George C. Lloyd, the chief minister of the Madison Avenue Baptist church, New York city, who, though dead, is honored for the wisdom of his estimable suggestion. He may be considered the prophet of the Congreg, the essential object of which was to "get together" representatives of all the Baptists of the world, and this object was to a great extent realized. The constitution adopted by the organization announces that its purpose shall be to "promote good fellowship and co-operation among the Baptists of all countries." The executive committee will consist of seven members from the United States, six from Great Britain, two from Canada and seven from the rest of the world; and the Negro was, and is, and will always be, "in it." There were 45 delegates of our race from the United States, among whom were Dr. E. C. Morris, Heilena, Ark., president of the National Baptist Convention; Dr. L. G. Jorden, missionary secretary of the National Baptist Convention, with his secretary, Miss Nannie A. Burroughs, and a special solicitor, Mr. H. C. Britt; Boyd of the National Baptist Publication House, Nashville, Trent, C. T. Walker of Augusta, Ga.; H. R. Carter of Atlanta, Ga.; W. H. Stewart, editor of the National Baptist, Lewinville, Ky.; Rev. A. W. Moss of Texas; Rev. George W. Lee, D. D., of Washington, D. C.; Dr. J. Francis Robinson, vice-president of the New England convention; Dr E. H. McDonald of Providence, R. I.; Dr. M. W. Gilbert, of New York city, and last, but not least, Rev. W. S. Taylor, president of the United Order of True Reformers, of Richmond, Y. and his wife. Exeter Hall on the Strand was the location of the assembly room of the Congress, and very fitting was the place, for it was where the famous Dr. Spurgeon preached to immense crowds while the present Metropolitan Tabernacle was being built. The most interesting procedure of the Congress, to my mind, was the roll call by counties, which took place after the official welcome was given by the president of the Baptist Union, Judge Wilits, K. C., who made an able address after that a felicitous introduction by the secretary, Rev. J. H. Shakespeare, M. A. who said, concerning the Congress, that "this is a dream which has come true." The president of the Congress made it plain to the delegates assembled that "they were not invited here for any scenic display, nor by numbers to claim a momentary triumph over any other Christian denomination, nor to pursue, nor to recognize the grace of good exhibited in each other. In a brief historical survey the chairman in the seventh century, and as he referred to the advent of the late Rev. Charles Haddon Spurgeon, the greatest evangelical leader of the seventh century, and as he greeted with rounds of applause. He further claimed that the Baptist leaders of to-day are not a white man, but a great man of competent ability and gracious lives. At the close of this remarkable address the most interesting part of the program, the baptism began and was answered as follows: Herr Capek, for Austria-Hungary. He said he loved England because of her great love for liberty; that his country has five Baptist churches, with 500 members; and that there are 25 million Slavonians in Austria and Hungary who needed the Gothic. Faster Augustus Broholm of Copenhagen, for Denmark. He reported 4,000 members. Dorat Jarisch, for Finland. He rejoiced that notwithstanding the many persecutions of which his people have been victims, yet through faith they had conquered the oppressive and hostile obstacle in their way, for they had impelled confidence in their leader, Jesus Christ. M. Cabot of Paris, for France. He was a man of great intellect, who he felt like kissing everybody; during his address he did kiss the president of the Congress, amid great laughter. Dorat Hermann of Koenigslerg for Germany, working for the wonderful work being done for his countrymen. Signor Paschetti, for Italy. He read a most interesting address. The Italian bishop, the Archbishop of Naples, the Pastor Vanbeck, for the Netherlands. Pastor Othon of Christianity, for Norway. Gaspard Pachoff, for Russia. He said that the French bishop, the Napoleon Iii bishop, Haron Iulikull also spoke. Dr. Brandy of Stockholm, for Sweden He was accompanied by the largest of all the delegations from the continent of Europe. Rev. Dr. Clifford, for the United King- dom, in place of Rev. F. R. Meyer, who were killed in the attack. Dr. Thiouly Richard, for China, he re- ceived a great ovation. Bee M. C. Mason, for India Rev. A. Thompson, for Japan. She represented in Japan, which she translated one of the oldest poems in the literature of Mr. Niomoe, for the Congo. He is 'a really colored native, who said that he was in England assisting Dr. Holman he met in England, and translated into the native language. He was given great applause. Bumurah King of Cape Farmland, for South Africa. Dr. E. C. Morris, for the National Baptist Convention of the United States, he represented the 2,110,000 members whom he represented was jococently received. In closing Dr. Morris said that "of our 10,000 or more ordained ministers, the graduates of some recognized university, and that 500 have passed through a theological school, followed by a placing solist, followed Dr. Morris in leading the hymn, 'Life Is Like a Mountain Railroad.' All the Afro-American delegates represented in the chorus. The song was enclosed. Dr. Curtis Lee Laws, for the Southern Baptist Convention of the United States, representing two seminaries, and having over 250 delegates present. Rev. Alexander Trevino, for Mexico. He is the president of the Mexican Union, and the English said that Mexico has 60 organised Baptist churches, with 2,000 members. Mr. H. F. Birkhardt, president of the Bishops' Georgia, for Australia. Mr. Carey, for Canada. Mr. Solomon Glischung, for Brazil. He was the last speaker and said that Roman Catholicism in his country (less than one million) was worse than there to preach the Gospel. At the conclusion the 3,000 voices heartily sang the hymn, "Showers of Blossoming." He read the following message to the King, which he proposed should be forwarded to his Majesty: "His Majesty King Edward VII. May it please Your Majesty." "May it please Your Majesty: "We ministers and delegates of Baptist Churches in the United Kingdom, the British Colonies: America, and various other lands, assembled in the Baptist World Con- ference, have never millions of communicants desire to meet in this land so dear to all lovers of religion and freedom. We wish to ex- EUTERPE HOUSE prince can deep appreciation of Your Majesty's failure in the cause of Peace, the prime condition of prosperity and progress. "President, Exeter Hall, London." Dr. R. H. Strong, president of pleasure in according to resolution, and he felt that he could speak from the heart of America in speaking with the people. With a standing ovation this was passed, and the delegates sang the British national anthem. Three choirs were present, and one then suggested the President of the United States. This was also unanimously Dr. A. H. Strong, president of the Receiver (N. Y. J.) Theological Seminary, whose work was the preacher of the Congress sermon at Spurgeon Tabernacle. It was a powerful sermon, highly become of his heart, and the subject "The Greatness and the Claims of Christ." The sermon didn't please the English, because it which was fully a beer and a quarter. Differences in race, color, nationality, social habits, ways of doing laundry, and language were evident in the Congress, and been manifest at every point; but the spirit of brotherhood has been unifying and authoritative, given by Sir Hugh Glennan Hold to the foreign representatives at the Church House, when seven men of differing nationalities met in effect of the Congress in this direction. The same is true concerning the dinner given at the same place on July 16 to the delegates to the park garden reception at every point, who also furnished free stages for the delegates to the park garden reception at every point. Peter Gould in honor of Dr. Maclauren, the president of the Congress. It was at this dinner that Rev. Dr. C. S. Morrilla, the president of the Congress, himself by a die after dinner, speech. The Russians, determined not to be outdone in admiration for the Nerroos in attendance gave them a lunch on July 18, 52 St. Brandon when fraternal and kindly speeches were made by Rev. D. T. Mumagad and W. W. Ivanov, and responded to by Rev. A. R. G. Kovalev, and then by Rev. A. R. G. Kovalev. Saturday the Congress was made and by the announcement that one of our American delegates had been killed by an accident. Most of the Baptist pupils in London were knocked down by a boss in the Brand, and subsequently died at a hospital. Most of the Baptist pupils in London were occupied by delegates, white and black, but little was popular, a number of them speaking four times during the day. At the Y. M. C. A.

Boston, Mana, August 2.—A dolphinfish visit was paid last Friday morning at the summer home of Dr. and Mrs. Booker T.

"It was a source of great pleasure to the young men to visit Dr. Washington at his home and enjoy the festivities provided for them and the warmth of Washington, who has reduced the cost of entertaining an exact science. After enjoying various out-of-door games, such as baseball, croquet, etc., the club assembled in the spacious parlor and to the delight of the company of basketball players, the museum, the instance of Dr. and Mrs. Washington, come to hear the singing, rendered in an imitative and thoroughly artistic manner the following program: "Sweet and Low," "Brown and White," "Cole and Johnson;" "Why Adam Binned," Alex. Rogers and Williams; "Big Indian Chief," "Cole and Johnson;" "No Body," Alex. Rogers and Williams; "Comrades in Arms," by Mr. James Vaughn. All of these selections were especially arranged for this club by Mr. Elkins, musical director. After the muscle the club and friends were invited into the room from the salad and chocolate were served from Mrs. Washington, her niece Miss. Simmons, and Mrs. Cox. The popularity achieved by the Williams and Walker Gloe club during the past week at Kolb's theatre, this city, has been so successful that the engagement was immediately planned for it. It is the purpose of the club, which is recruited from the large membership of the Williams and Walker Company that has presented in Dahomey with great success, both in the theater and in the music characteristic of the race. Music being the language of emotion, it is not natural that the Negro with his emotional temperament must continue to sing, and love and joy must continue to be identified. Changing rapidly from one emotion to the other, from joy to love, sorrow, fear and longing, they strive to represent and stand for the highest development of the Negro. Their conductor, Mrs. William W. Eylblad, trained musician who has studied in New York and London, and it is to his fine musical training that much of the success of the club is founded by the founder of the club, being instilled by Mr. and also has charge of the music and the chorus in the complete Williams and Walker organization. He arranges every selection and exact capacity of each voice and the talent shown in this direction is indeed remarkable.

The only Negro Educational Journal in the country, devoted to the scholarship and culture of the race. The history, philosophy and evolution of Negro education ably discussed in each issue. Indeed, 200 leading authors of the The Negro Educational Review 118th and Mort St. Vincennes, Ind. July 6 05 Aug. 21, '04-1 yr Hon. George A. Myrna, propietor of the famous Holkedon House barber shop at Cleveland, O., recently contributed to the Sunday Cleveland Pleindouer an article on the tomserial art, extracts from which we reproduce below: Mr. Myrna it will be remembered, was one of the late Senator Hanna's most valued lieutenants; and he is one of the three trustees of the Master Barbers' National Association. His article began thus: "However, bleem the man who first invaded shaving," remarked a business man the other day an he seated himself to be shaved. The chair was quickly adjusted that he might receive the full comfort to be derived from it. He was covered with an immaculate linen spread, the towel was adjusted around his neck and the warm lather was soon applied to the fact, with the defensa of a practiced hand. While the barber was whetting his ransor the customer fell asleep. He was only awakened by the soothing influence of a warm Turkish towel which enveloped his entire face. Quickly the witch hazel was applied, the face thoroughly dried, then covered with the finest of talcum powder, well rubbed in by the soft hands of the barber. The mustache was removed, the ends rolled tightly, the fingers and combed out, and another towel raised. Then nearly another towel around the back of his patron's neck the barber proceeded to give the head a good brushing before applying a cool and soothing hair tosoil to the scalp. After rubbing the head thoroughly for a few minutes the hair was dressed in a manner becoming to the weaver, the face was given its final touch and the barber was ready for the next.* "Well, said the customer, I can now, go back to my business and finish up the day with fresh vigor." "Shaving, as we know, has been practiced in all countries and in all ages, and many curious tools were devised by the ancient Egyptians and Chinese for the removal of hair. The book for Americans to invent the luxuous and comfortable barber chairs that are in vogue to-day, is common thing to hear one's customers speak of the primitive methods to which they have to submit in being shaved when traveling ahead, especially in the kingdoms of Egypt and Greece, the barbers are far behind their American brethren in the torsional art. There are, however, in London and Berlin what are perhaps the most important aspects of the world, but they make a speciality of ladies work. "It is impossible to say definitely how many barber shops there are, but one statement in the Barber's Journal places the number at 70,000 supplied by 600 barber supply houses. There are 500, with a barber complete of 1,419." The modern barber shop calls for an ex-travagant expenditure of money for its fur-luxurious barber chairs, luxurious barber chairs made possible by the American manufacturer, the lavish use of mirrors, white marble, hardwood, leather, and high-quality materials, to cushion divans, together with an almost countess array of incandescent electric lights, the modern shop can offer an affordable as it is pleasing to the eyes of its patrons. The central figure of this establishment is the fire responsibility for its successful conduct. At all times he is expected to be pleasing and amiable to his patrons, versatile and diplomatic, and expected to keep his temper and must be able to duplicate himself in others and not burglarize or even overappreciating the value of personal appearance, the sanitary regulation and cleanliness of his shop, also the appearance and behavior of his customers. When a customer enters the shop, the first thing he sees are the barbers, hence the adoption of the uniforms now worn in many barbers' shops. His appearance is everything with the majority of one's patrons, and if a good impression must be given, then many shortcomings may be overcome. "The operation incidental to facial massage is very tiresome to the barber. Thanks to the machine massage has come to his rescue. Mechanical massage can be operated either by electricity or compressed air. Upon the face, the hands and the elbows and the oily skins; upon the head for dandruff, falling hair; headache, neuralgia, baldness or any condition due to an unequal circulation, and unlike the barber the machine has no control over the head or sensual invention made possible by American genius; it is successfully used in spraying lotions and toilet wares; for dressing the human body and for relief to swollenity upon a hot day. Many large shops have two or three young ladies who manure a customer's face, and for some reason or other this innervation has not been very popular in Cleveland. "From such facts as these we can readily perceive the improvement of the barber shop and the general conduct of the business."

She was able to break the lock on the trunk and extract $19.50, which was concealed therein.

Jewn and Chinese Championed at South Teaching in the New York Age. We have heard in the very recent past considerable about preface and preface on the Negro. We used to hear a great deal of this sort of thing concerning the Negro, but in the latter cases the inefficient oppression has been greatly lessoned, not wiped out completely in the past. Here in the South the Jew is "a man for a" that. And the Georgia legislature at the time was not a man for a policy of Chinese exclusion, and one paper called the act "A Voice for Justice." This condemnation proceeding was passed in 1915, and the great seal upon the destruction of a policy at once Inhuman and unrighteous, which has shocked the world. This, at least, what the people have done, is what they have. But those who read between the lines can see that this is furthest or was furthest from the mind of the framers of the Constitution, and neither act on the part of the Solons who voted for it. The Satanah Press, commenting upon it, has this to say: "But a more serious phase of the problems lies in the fact that China has threatened to boycott the cotton goods of this country, and the cotton cloth. Just as the bushelage of the mills has begun to improve, and as the price of cotton has gone up, the talk of Eastern boycott has increased. The boycott of American spinner and blight the hopes of the American planter. The National Administration realizes the necessity of lightening up Chinese exclusion in leading the way towards an improved and enlightened policy. In almost the same breath it champions the necessity of lightening up Russia, but of the descendants of Ham in darkest Georgia it says nothing. Basing race distribution by the white man's own measure, enjoy the privileges of the Anglo-Saxon. I cannot see the consistency in this level of sudden change of front in behalf of a monarch, that they have touched the pocket." Most white men are nothing if not entertaining, and money goes farther with them. When the Negro gets his hands on a dollar and learns how to use it he will have champions in the South among the white men. When the white men readers think that the colored man in the South is not progressive. No people have to be so aggressive. In fact it is the marvel mankind in general, but I fear that we do not take advantage of the opportunities surrounding us. We have lost to the advantage of others manifold benefits. Opportunity knocks at a man's door once in a life time, goes an astonishing distance, and the doom is cast for the balance of his data. You said some time ago that "the yellow worm has turned, but the black worm turns not. I for one am optimistic enough to be the mediate, if not immediate, future of the black worm, but if the black worm turns it will have to turn itself, and money and manhood will be the lubricators of this very desirable turning process. "Will the black worm turn?" ASKEW AT AHOSKIE Ahlonek, N. C., July 28.—This beautiful town is rapidly progressing, notwithstanding that partly destroyed by fire. Mr. G.

To the Editor of the New York, Aus: It is a custom of long standing to -raise morals for their work and worth, their charac- ter and ability, after they are dead rather than while they are living, and may enjoy that. That the negro race has had for the last twenty years men who were actuated by unsettled motives, who thought and wrote for the real interest of the Afro-American people, is evidence of the problem. That the African race who now stand with a brilliant record at the front. Chlef among those distinguished, exponents who have fought, and who have problem are Dr. Booker T. Washington, the world's famous educator; T. Thomas Fortune, of four oak kings, and a forceful writer, and have John Mitchell, Jr., of the Richmond Plesset, who has ever pleaded most eloquently in the endeavor, force and energy of these noted worthy representatives of the Negro race has accomplished much of their purpose. Others of the Negro race worthy of commendation spoke well for their people, but failed in achievement, the genius referred to in this writing. For Mr. Fortune, through much endeavor, now gives to the reading public a marmillate should be found in the home of every black man and woman throughout the North and South. The Afro-American people should be given the opportunity to be sensitive and commend his worthy paper by giving it unanimous support. This is our indispensable duty if we care to have a positive impact on the public published. For it is a noteworthy fact that it was not until the famous speech of Dr. Booker T. Washington at Atlanta, Ga., in 1876 that the African-American York and of other great cities or their editor's gave much concern to the speeches or the opinions of leading colored men. This has been achieved by the able editor of THE Ank, whose demonstrated ability makes him the intellectual headlight of the African-American MARSHAL. Marmolla, Mass., July 28, 1905.

To the Editor of the NEW YORK AGE: The clipping from your paper of the 20th regarding Beren College, seems to me unequal and unkind for. Why do you desire to prove that your friends are your enemies? For thirty nine years Heron College has opened its doors impartially to white and black, and every year some people have said: "Next year the colored will be turned out." We were not to blame for the growing intolerance of the South, which began in Florida and Georgia and crept into Tennessee. When a law excluding our colored students was proposed, I went to Frankfort to fight it, with a memorial signed by every teacher in Beren. But a man black in face and heart had been there before me and whispered: "Proudest Frost really wants this law to pass." That was my greatest obstacle. The Bourbons were found to pass the law. We are contesting it in the courts. Meanwhile we are keeping account of the funds raised for the colored people and trying to raise more. We paid railroad fare and entering expenses for all our colored students at other schools. We brought back some of them so they could commencement day. We are giving scholarships of $100 each to a number of promising young people of color for the coming year, so as to extend Heron's legacy outside the ranks of former students. But the Bourbon are raging, and the colored people are fearful and unbelieving, that they will not be able to Berea even if the law is set aside. And they say, as you do, that although Berea always has treated them right, and so they will be able to Berea is really false at heart and does not want them to come. If the colored people do not come back to Berea, the matter is because the courts uphold what we hold to be an unrightful law, or because they will not come when Berea will be able to Berea will be able. As our oldest trustee said on commencement day, "In that event Berea College will set aside for the extinction of all its properties and endowment without stint, and without忌拎." The colored people have their trials. And the colored people have their trials too. Let us be reasonable. "Let us not distrust the motives of our friends! When Berea College is in dire trouble be sure to Berea even if the law is set aside. It is no time for it to be standardized." WILLIAM GOODPELL FROST, Mt. Clemen, Mich., July 31, 1905.
