Hon. W. D. Crum, collector of customs at Chelston, S. C., addressed a large and enthusiastic audience at Bethel church Thursday evening, August 10, upon The Progress and Future of the Negro. His address was eloquent and his convincing manner of dealing with the problems which the Afro-American has overcome find the solution of the ones now confronting him in the country stirred up his audience to demonstrations of applause which lasted at times several minutes. Upon the pulpit, which was decorated with flowers, were many distinguished dignities of the local churches, visiting pastors and prominent business men. Rev. T. M. Henderson, pastor of Belfast in introducing the theologian and guest of the evening, sketched his memorable service through long second devotion to the best impulses of the race in South Carolina and introduced him as "the man who light for a cardinal prince of American citizenship, supported as he was by the greatest of American Presidents, Theodore Roosevelt (tremendous applause) the interest in which was wide, won a victory the importance of which is surpassed by none the present decade."

COMMAND MAGISTRATE POOL Colored Republican Club Passes Resolution to that Effect. Republican Club of the Victory hold its regular meet- rooms and headquarters Negro Business League and street, Monday even- dale Gilchrist, Stewart After transacting var- tions to the mid-summer picnic at Suller's Park, the club in honor of the resolutions were about Magistrate Pool for his in holding Officer Car- lson built, charged with on the young colored DANIEL COME TO JUDGMENT. The courageous action of Judge Pool, magistrate in the 56th street court, in holding Policeman Connody as a prisoner charged with felonious assault and in sending him to the Tombs subject to indictment by the grand jury for brutally clubbing a young Afro-American, man, George Bewell, has been the sensation of the week in judicial and police circles and has aroused the public-spirited citizens of New York in defense of his action. One of the most dramatic scenes ever enacted in a meritorious court in this city occurred when Judge Pool, discharging Bewell, assured him that, instead of being a violator of the law, all of his civil rights an American citizen had been outrageously invaded by one who is supposed to be a protector of the citizens, and, when Officer Connody asked to have the case adjourned to enable him to get witnesses, replied: "You cannot have an adjournment. This case has been before me twice and if you had witnesses you have had plenty of time to get them. I will not allow you to manufacture evidence. Many police officers would give it for you to get you out of the consequences of your own outrageous act." After these remarks of conscience, Connody turned to leave the bridge, Magistrate Pool said to the court sergeant: "Halt that officer, he is a prisoner under $1,000 bail, whom I charge with felonious assault." The court officers, attorneys, witnesses and spectators, who make up the daily crowd, swayed by feelings of amazement which soon gave way to admiration at this unprecedented action of a magistrate. The facts brought out at the afternoon session were these: Near 25th street and 9th avenue a bonfire was started by some Italian children. Sewell came out of his house, 414 West 28th street, and was watching the fire when Officer Connolly, who was in plain clothes, accosted him and asked, with an oath, why Sewell replied "I didn't know in the street." I had just come out of my house. Connolly then said, "Explain that to the judge tomorrow morning," and without giving any explanation or showing his authority or shield, attempted to arrest Sewell, who broke away from him. Connolly struck at him and they clinched. Connolly then pulled his revolver and struck Sewell on the head, and as he fell, Connolly, who was about three sheets in the wind, fell with him and beat Sewell uninterrupted. Sewell was torn, his scalp cut and swollen and his cheek bruised and battered, and continued to pound him as he took him to the station. At the afternoon examination Sewell testified that he had no idea the man was a policeman and that, fearing he was about to be killed, he grabbed Connolly's right hand and yelled for money, and that, after he had been beaten into a conflict of semi-sensibility, the policeman beat him all the way to the station. Alfred Sprogna, an Italian barber, corroborated Sewell's statement. Fred Ellis, an elevator operator in Wannaker's, did the same. Mrs. Abbie Tenbrook, a white woman who lives next door to Sewell and who saw the whole affair, corroborated the testimony of the other witnesses and said that Connolly already fired his gun with a wrist-marshal badge, about to committed and screamed, whereupon Connolly turned to her and said, "Shut up your mouth and go in or I'll blow your head off." She hurried in, but her sergeana had brought a crowd which calmly witnessed the boating of Sewell. She testified to seeing the mattress set alight with some Italian boys. W. H. Fowler, Sowell's employer, said Sowell had worked for him about five years and that his character had been exemplary, absolutely honest and straightforward, that he had never been in trouble before, that his employee had been outrageously treated and that he would lay the matter before Commissioner Mr. McKee. His examination then began and, after asking for an adjournance as a aidesaid, he admitted he was off duty in plain clothes and was carrying his revolver. "If you were off duty what were you doing with a revolver? Don't you know a policeman off duty has no more right to carry a revolver than any other citizen?" asked Magistrate Pool. Connady said he did not know it. "Then you had better learn the rules of your department," replied Judge Pool. Connady also admitted the dishonor shown his, the fact is that you simply hit this young man and multreated him because he was black" said Judge Pool. "there is no doubt of it. A man of your physical ability, weighing twenty-five pounds more than this boy, ought to have been able to take care of him without any revolver." Captain Ward of the precinct, then was called upon by the Judge. He asked Judge Pool why he would not adjourn the case. He replied. "Because the case is finished. I have asked Judge Pool he had anything to say and he replied no." Then he became angry and asserted that the Judge was not giving Connady a square deal and attempted to criticize some of his previous actions. "I guess I am giving him about as square a deal as he gave that boy, and any captain' who would defend such brutality in an officer should be ashamed of himself," replied the Judge. Ward was then ordered off the bridge, and the court room was treated to the spectacle of the court-sergeant putting a captain of police off the bridge for impermissible product towards an angel. Connolly was then arrested and taken to the Tombs under $1,000 bail, which has been furnished. The case is in the hands of District Attorney iferome and will be fored the grand jury. but before. The fact has come out that Connolly has had 24 charges preferred against him. An ACE reporter extended to Judge Pool, upon behalf of the AGE, the Afro-American citizens of New York and the Colored Citizens' Protective League, thanks for his courageous and manly action. The Judge replied: "I have received many evidences of support from public men and even some letters of congratulation, but I do not think I have done anything that calls for so much commendation. I simply did my duty as I have always encouraged to do since I have been on the lunch eight years. The beating up and maltraining of citizens of this city by the police simply because of their color should be vigorous and effective methods for stopping a disgrace and evil which is growing, and I shall punish all cases of guilty officers which come before me."

WASHINGTON'S ADDRESS Urgeo That Instead of More Resolutions and Complaints Definite and Tangible Achievements Be Emphasized—We Must Create Rather Than Seek John—Letters From President Moorevelt and Governor Higgins Commend Purposes of the League—Addresses of Hon. Charles W. Anderson and Ouwald Garrison Villard—The League Program—Committees Appointed—The Greatest Meeting League Has Yet Held. The sixth annual session of the National Negro Business League was called to order yesterday morning at 10.30 o'clock at the Palm Garden, 58th street and Lexington avenue, by President Booker T. Washington. The previous meetings of the League at Boston, Chicago, Richmond, Nashville and Indianapolis, have been progressively enthusiastic and well attended; and this year's meeting in the metropolis of America suggests the others in the number attending and the interest manifested. The delegates, besides those from New York State, represent 26 States in about the following numbers: Arkansas, 25; Illinois, 20; Colorado, 6; Ohio, 10; Pennsylvania, 40; Maryland, 6; Delaware, 4; District of Columbia, 16; Virginia, 20; West Virginia, 4; North Carolina, 4; South Carolina, 8; Georgia, 20; Florida, 10; Texas, 6; Mississippi, 12; Louisiana, 4; (the Mississippi and Louisiana delegations are much smaller than was expected, owing to the yellow fever): Alabama, 10; Tennessee, 10; Kentucky, 8; Indiana, 12; Iowa, 2; New Jersey, 20; Connecticut, 2; Rhode Island, 4; and Massachusetts, 12. Approximately 1,000 strangers, including delegates, their families and friends, are in New York, drawn here by the Business League meeting. The following letter from President Roosevelt commending the purposes of the League has been received: OYSTER RAY, N. Y., August 12, 1905. Moe M. Mosey is well all since the National Association for the Organization is absolutely out of politics and in stimulating activity among your people and working to increase their efficiency and effectiveness in reaching work in the way of giving them a resulting sense of their responsibilities as citizens and power to meet those responsibilities. I need hardly say that I put moral pressure on the students to make it absolutely impossible to do good work in promoting the spiritual improvement of any race unless there is a foundation of manly responsibility that the foundation necessarily includes that the foundation good the root qualities of thrift, energy and business sense. It is as true of a race as of an individual that while outsiders can work with you, the real help must come in the shape of self help. The success of your organization and the development among our colored follow cities will have the very quality for which you will be proud. The race problem than any philanthropic effort merely from outside could possibly be THE FEDERAL VIRGINIA Mr. Emmett J. Scott, Corresponding Secretary, National Negro Business League, New York, N.Y. Governor Higgins of New York, wishes the League success in the following communication: STATE OF NEW YORK, Executive Chamber, ALANY, August 7, 1905. Mr. Emmett J. Scott, Corresponding Secretary, National Negro Business League. My dear Sir: I am duly in receipt of your communication of August 4, together with copy of report of the fifth annual convention of your League, for which pray accept my thanks. It will afford me great pleasure to examine the report at the earl's meeting. I observe that your organization is to hold its next annual session at New York city on the 16th, 17th and 18th of this month. Will you kindly convey to its officers and members the expression of my best wishes for the success of your meeting and for the continued success of the League in its chosen field? I am. Your's very sincerely. FRANK W. HIGOIN. The invocation was pronounced by Rev. W. H. Brooks, pastor of St. Mark's M. E. church. The "Negro Anthem" composed by Mr. J. Rosamond Johnson, of Cole & Johnson, was rendered by the Williams & Walker Glee club. Addresses of welcome were delivered on behalf of the city by Hon. Charles V. Fornes, president of the Board of Aldermen, Manhattan; and on behalf of the local Business League and the citizens of New York by Hon. Charles W. Anderson, Collector of Inland Revenue and vice-president of the Afro-American Realty Company. Mr. Anderson's welcome address was in full as follows: I could have wished that it had connected with Mr. Moore's sense of propriety to have allowed the last speech to conclude this ceremonial of welcome, for while I do some public speaking, I am always unhappy that the make-up of any public duty that involves the public is a political speech. It is during campaign times only that I recite these overwhelming arguments that I am in the habit of presenting from the platform. I am not accustomed to recite the common custom clippers and money changers. These terms are all unfamiliar to me, for, beyond a few castles in Spain, I own no real estate and I possess none of the world's cargo, or, rather, an humble wage earner, or a ruthless man in an honest business and I am always living on the wages of yesterday, except when I am and bothered to tomorrow. Thus you see, I am a fully unfit to address business men, unless I am a business man in down by Tom Moore. You know that he, who had never visited the East, had written the greatest poem of modern times, he replied that "if you want to get true cloquence out of a just man, you must know which he knows absolutely nothing." In the light of that answer, and in that light alone. I venture to employ to you the careful welcome of the people of the city of Jaffna. You will find them kind, courteous, hospitable and sympathetic. You may remain where you will, from river to river and from river to river, and you will find nothing inhospitable to me. I welcome you to this city, to its home, to its paran, its playgrounds and its church, to welcome you to its private church in the Balu, to the Balu and Beaars deport themselves, and to occasional lamb is shown and not in frequent, one is slaughtered. If any of you choose to find yourself in that section of the city, you will promptly take their days by a stranger, they will promptly "take you in." I welcome you also to the lid-covered security of the Bowery and the Tenderloin, to shorten their nights. I also encourage to the intercourse with our merchants, who always "temper justice with mercy" in dealing with the way farer within our gate. I accept the invitation to join the German Empire and join of this city, for when I tell you that we have more Irishmen in New York than any city in Ireland, more Italians than any city in France, more than there are in Jerusalem, and more than there are in the German Empire save Berlin, you will realize that New York is compounded to the core. It is a veritable "bromsed Land." If you are in New York, may we may it from the tops of any of our tall buildings, to which our police elevator conductors will pilot you so quickly and so suddenly that you will "probably suspect myself of having strained into the muzzle of a damsite gun." Our hotels, too, are worthy of your attention. They are the best in the world, and range from the St. Regis to the Milla House, each of them you will find everything new each time you go. I hope you think them quite as old-fashioned as the Kansas farmer, thought the Waldorf-Astoria. A good, old Kansas farmer set himself at one of the tables in the Waldorf-Astoria, and took the cheapest bill of fare. After noting the rather instituted prices of the various dishes, he asked the waiter whether or not there was anything cheap "on this here bill." The waiter re-asked, "Yes, the cheapest dish on the bill," and the old-fashioned cook spat out and discovered that green turtle soup cost $1.50 a portion. He turned to the waiter in disgust and said, "Look here, Frenchie, aln't you got any cheap soup on you?" The cook replied. Yes, there are one or two really replied. Yes, there you will find that ox-tail soup is the cheapest." The farmer looked about him for a minute, and said, very confidently to the waiter, "May, Frenchie, did you say that you were going to eat that soup?" He then asked, "Don't you think that is going pretty far back for soup? Huh, joining apart, our people stand ready to extend to the delegates and visitors that loyal, welcome which we New Yorkers regard as peculiarly characteristic of our town. I want also to especially welcome the ladies to our city, for their influence cannot be overestimated. If you will search differently you will discover that somewhere in every human endeavor and in every worthy achievement can be traced the gentle and tender influence of a woman's love. It is one chord to which every man's heart responds, and whether it be that of mother, wife or sweetheart, a woman's love, or the memory of a woman's love is always the predominating influence in every useful man's life. It may be an old memory, and the test of many winters may be around it, but you will find that to the successful man it has been the rock to which he has clung in storm, the anchorage that has kept his head against the wind and wave, the balm that has comforted him in defeat and supported him in the final hour of triumph and success. The National Negro Business League is an indication that the race is pushing onward. That is as it should be. No race of people can be assured of a fair future that is satisfied by the success of the race of life that nothing stands still. All things either go forward or backward. The title of other jobs or flows the flowers are either bedtime, blossoming or withering and dying. In many days the status still still does not. It is most move up, so he will slip down. He is most move up. He is the most of the most man's individual duty is located at each man's little steep, steeper than at the end of the past. But the man is not worth his salt. He will still difficulty to discourage or dishearten him. If a man has spirit and grit, and determination, and energy, on short, if he has the stuff in him, and if his resolutions are high and his self-care will not be dismayed by the few hardtimes, but will press onward and upward, even though he may only stagger from one imperfect achievement to another, yet he will make it a positive success with the loss of the lack from his tired condition, and then light a little further up the mountain such that he did the night before. If he grows weary and if he says and falls by the rest of the day, the journey will be too short to be achieved by the time he is in the way of an unwell-informed and undecisive man. He will be inspired and encouraged by his example, and with whether knowledge and better training, will be the same from his hand as in the old lampees, discus and dishonor, and with so long as the suffer foot will carry it on to the final goal of success. A take-it that this is one of the lessons which this splendid organization is attempting to teach. While teaching this lesson, I hope you will not forget that teachers also have something to learn. You can learn a very useful lesson here in this great commercial city. Its virility, its hustle and bustle, its shrieking of whistles and clanger of bells, its rush and hurry, its tireless activity, its heroic courage, its hum and whirl of machinery, its echo of marts of trade. Its screaming irreries rush overhead and under foot like shuttles on some mighty loom, the noise of its market places, and, in short, the whole telegraphic, telephonic, Edisonic character of its commercial activity tells a story and teaches a tremendous lesson. It tells the story of dangers met and resolutely faced; of difficulties encountered and successfully overcome. It demonstrates the fact that "Nothing comes to him who walks," unless he bustles while he walks. It teaches the lesson of success, and success, my friends, is the masterkey that opens every door, the countersign that passes every sentinel, and the unsealed letter of introduction to the good fellowship of all those who have done, and are doing the world's work. With some of the most common words are: "I am not a new one. As far back as 1734" Daniel Defoe published his book entitled "The GREAT LAW of Subordination Considered"; or, the issuance and Unfavorable Behaviour of SERVANTS in England duly inquired into." But for the typography this might have issued from a New Orleans press but yesterday, Defoe was certain that all the trouble "had its regaining in the insolence of the Servant," an opinion which is widely held in the South today. But the problem there is too serious to be joked about. Mr. Washington has frequently dwelt on the issue of having hundreds of idle migrants in the cities when the farmers are crying out for aid in harvesting their crops. The number of household servants is also a genuine menace to the welfare of the colored race. The Northern housekeeper is at least spared twice, five or thirty women to do her work for her who are unwilling to lift a finger. It is this state of affairs which makes it mistreats a feeling of personal injury. Do not think for a moment that this is a plea for the submission of your race to any such doctrine, or that it is an appeal to your people to fit themselves for permanent subordination. I do not believe that Divine Providence has designated the colored people to be forever hewers of wood and drawers of water. If I had I should promptly declare that that Providence did not know its own business. No man or set of men ever successfully set mees and bounds to the human soul; no man or set of men could fix, or ever has fixed, the position of another race or class of men. The ancient Greeks thought that their slaves, their belots, were the scum of the earth; the modern Greeks knew no such class disjunctions. The Russian aristocracy thought that it knew by divine inspiration just what a tortuous situation their self-fulfilling force to occupy a small number of the Char destroyed the fabric of their fancy. The American slaveholders of 1850 would have been forced to occupy the land they dared prophecy that the Negro race forty years after emergence from slavery could produce an orator like Washington or a senator like Lincoln. He who ventures like so many of our Southern editors to fix for once and all the position that is vitally ignorant of the teachings of history as he is during in prescribing just what Providence shall or shall not do a slave. He declines in so many words that he is wily blind to the astounding upward progress of the Negro race those last four centuries of great obstacles and disheffening hindrances. But since more than 50 per cent. of the colored women are for the present engaged in household service of one kind or another and a large, proportion of the colored men as well, I do urge upon you that the race should see in this service one of its great opportunities of the present time. In the home of the white I cannot think of anything that would more quickly raise the race in the white man's opinion than honest and efficient domestic service. It is in human nature to respect the man or woman who is master of his or her trade or art. It is an vocabulary tribute which we pay, and one that cannot be repressed even on the lips of ignorant prejudice. It is not a good service one of the best possible intermediaries or missionaries between the race? Is not her efficiency of a sentimental as well as a cash value to the race? Could we but place in every Southern home a well trained and respectful colored servant the relations of the race would be changed over night. Let a boy, white or black, be ever so eager, he can achieve success if only he can bear the Anglo-Saxon which he is naturally proud of their similarity, not merely to the Negro but to the Spaniard, the Italian, the Dutch, and until recently the Japanese, once their predecessor to their industrial and military efficiency. It is in this test of their abilities that they play the most important role, and without the allowances for the horrible legacies of centuries of involuntary servitude, by their labor and their charge must be much full and the Japanese recall the fact that hundreds of them of this race, of good family and excellent education, possess positive qualities, butlers compel valet, stewards on yachts and men of war, in order to learn our language and customs. They have given us an admirable illustration of the power of the English to be dignified if approached in the right spirit. Their desire to get ahead, to profit by the learning of western nations and imitate the best place of them in the first rank of nations. A similar rise in the respect of white country, even if they do not constitute a separate nation, may be to content with blindness of all kinds. One of the very first steps is to tervel the Japanese and Chinese in their knowledge and this field will dispute the general advance upon professions and other skilled industries will be far more rudish than is the case to day. In the future your return home to church, in season and out of season, the necessity of carrying well this first battle ground, that the connexion of others be easier to master, will be your first school. Kowallen, Manassas and a host of other small schools are endeavoring to glaze the way. Let me assure you that in this underdeveloped sympathy broadest and best South African men and women.

JACKSON NATIONAL NEGRO BUSINESS LEAGUE. S. A. FURNISS M. C. JACKSON N. L. LEAF At the World Economic Forum, President Willem J. van der Waal invited a special address, which is always and of the chief features of the League meetings. The address was heard by a large audience, and run as follows: This gathering brings us to the sixth annual meeting of the National Negro Business League. It is gratifying to note the growth of the organization and the spread of its programs for which it is successful. The more so as the League had its origin in a very small and simple way. There are gathered here to-day many women and men who have pursued from nearly every state in the Union where any considerable number of our people live, for only this type, but with many sections, and the number in increased at a rapid rate. We should be careful not to be surveyed from our original purpose of encouraging the economic and business development of our people, for making an opportunity where those who have succeeded in the past can be encouraged and for getting inspiration and encouragement by the touching of elbows each year. THEODORE W. JONES T. THOMAS MEMB OF EXECUTIVE M. LEWET S. E. COURTNEY S. A. FURNISS JAS. G. LAWLER We hope to have few, if any, long speeches, just the simple narration of facts, which more emphasize this organization, but more clearly the accomplishment than in receiving advice, in hearing about what people have done than what they are planning or hoping to do. We need to be aware of the rights of people needed in his own community. In following this general plan we do not overlook the three areas and our vital subjects beating us hard: our rights of not overlook or minimize the wrongs and the injustices under which the race often suffers, but our organization cannot embrace them. We believe that we can best serve our people at this time by clinging steadfastly to our original purposes, by clinging to the truth, by clinging to the progress in education, progress in morals, progress in civil rights. There is perhaps no loss of individuals who crave more or less of us, but we must enter into the full enjoyment of all that is guaranteed to us by the Constitution of our country. The American people like a man who is not afraid of difficulties or injustices. Our progress must be permanent, but not artificial and it must be by natural and logical steps. We must pay the price for everything we get. We cannot bridge the way we can to the front of the house. We can go to theல், but only by simply meeting and assessing resolutions. The day has passed when the great body of the American people will give serious help to high-sounding resolutions or loud demands. The most patent demand is to be a small, so far from fast and fast-distribution. It is hard to achieve in the activity in which we like. We can do more in a day to advance our cause than legislation can do in a year. More and more we need to turn our faces toward the rising sun and we are creative and progressive. We need to go to the way from the writing of the king and complaining. There is no encouragement or inspiration, either for us or for our children. In a policy like into the Walling for Dominion, by which others are to rid the use of our americanity. We have a right to do what is not American. We should be the right protection and enforcement of all laws but let us not spend all of our time and strength in entering upon a demand for those things. One tangible achievement in creative effort will be further in limiting the need to use the power of the Instead of blaming somebody for not providing decent surroundings and decent houses for us to occupy, let us turn our attention to requiring some of the millions of uncompliant persons of land in this country and to leaving for the domestic even to foundings and comfortable homes. Instead of complaining because work is denied in certain quarters, let us turn our attention to a large measure, to the policy of going to the fundamental source of the well occupation that is the capital out of which all the land, mineral, water, the products the world wants. This policy will make its creators of jobs and not make seekers after tole. When a man is slek in body it is of little or no effort to have all his aches and hobbies and the need for the rest of the land. What he craves is it reeds that shall do him of his ailments. What the world is now anxious to hear about the Negro is not his sickness, but his health. There is not much inspiration in following a funeral pre-season, as the world anxiously waiting to learn whether the N.S. are in the great order of the past. You who are guzhard here have convinced me of achievement that you favor resurrection. Let us advertise to the world our strength, not our weakness; our need not our failure; one achievements, not our hopes; our agreements, not our old agreements. We need education industrial, technical, college and professional for we must not forget to provide a medium through business and industry-enterprises for the services of the group of our industrial men and women. Employment is abstract ideas, academic theories, will count for it all only and give a help to us to study. Interests of the masses. The commending opportunities for progress is building a new country we should not disregard the fact that of the current million, less of our race, the great masses are in the South, and there, in my opinion, they will remain. While there are erils of which no one should lose sight — in creating the world labor. In conducting business, enterprise and security, we must not be on other part of their�. States are the begins to offer a field more inviting, than the South. We should see to it that we do not lose in the South that which we now pose. We should not grasp at a shadow and look on the other side. If we neglect to occur the field that is now before us, we must not be so far off. If we will become there as it is in the North you will be excluded by those who are strangers to our tongue and customs. We should let no influence turn our eyes from the will while wrong and injustice often touch the base, the masses of our people are dependent more on the whole people of the South. In a large degree, for example, thoughtful and purposeful of helping people in need. We are always in need. When we are going so hard, how can we be more helpful along with the people who follow their needs and actions. Anyone can set a house on fire, but if requires short to extend it, we are not more active in assisting us write are the first to see whenanger threatens. There is a group of white people in the South and all of them at a distance, who are constantly exerting themselves to help forward our cause, and we should see that no action or protest is more difficult. We should condemn that which is wrong in the white race, but give credit to those in the South and the North who are seeking to help us, and that will array the Negro against any man. North or South. Our race needs every friend that it can secure in a mainly way in all sections of the country, in much helping us to secure Christian education and the benefits of civilization for us to show an ungrateful or hostile spirit. We must encourage our people to leave the South, except from sec- H. L. TAYLOR BERS E COMMITTEE J. C.

We are seeking cooperation, not racial disunion. In what I have said I have placed the emphasis in direct terms that have been made in fundamental terms to delimit all business and commercial success for our race for any race. Though our stay in the wilderness has been long and some, and similar organizations is already enabling us to discern the light that lets us welcome to the prohibited land. May our stay in the wilderness weaken weaker white tenders of the tollowing way. At the close of the address "The Negro Brigade" was discussed by Mr. W. A. Jones of Winston Salem, N.

TARKTOWN, August 14.—A very peculiar occurrence happened last week. Mr. Louis Behlias, who was employed by Mr. Lev J. Govenne, after a long and hard struggle had accumulated the sum of $100, which he intended to send to his mother in Europe for her transportation to this country. During a heavy rainstorm he was sitting on his front porch on Cortland street, counting over his money, when there was a sudden flash of lightning; the money was struck out of his hands; he was stunned for an instant, but on looking around, he perceived his money all curled up, slizzing and burnt. He was struck by a strange feat of lightning they had even seen or heard of. A petition is being circulated around town among sympathetic friends to collect $100 and present it to The United Order of True References held their first annual reception at Vandal's building last Wednesday evening.

Boston, August 14.—A few weeks ago there appeared in the Georgia letter to Tim Ack, the story of a horse that, had crossed the color line in that State. The horse crossed the color line by changing owners. When it belonged to a white man it was allowed to drink from one side of a watering trough, and afterwards when it was bought by a colored man it became colored, and so was no longer permitted to take its thirst, from the white side of the trough. Like owner, like horse, it to be the moral of the story. For the color of the owner determines the color of the horse in a colorphobia-ridden State like Georgia. Well, the New York Times considered the story improbable. It considered that it was a good one not ghebeless, but could not bring itself, or predeemed that it could not bring itself to take it seriously. But as Mr. Mulane subsequently vouchered for the story as founded in fact, the Times will have like the rest of us, to take it ghebeless, whether it raises a laugh at the relations figure which the South cuts when it follows the color line to the logi- We have just heard of a case in New Orleans where the color of a dog enabled a colored man who had it in charge to sit in the white side of a street car in that city. The color of the dog in this instance was determined by the color of the owner. The owner of the dog was white, therefore the dog belonged on the white side of the car. What happened to the dog happens constantly in that city to white children in charge of colored nurses. The white children have that in them to wipe the nose of the nurse. The nurse has a black nurse with a white child does not belong on the colored but on the white side or end of a car in a State where "Jim Crow" laws prevail. Well, a small poodle, the precious and good pooch of the white nurse, the same rights as the white car has its mistress or as the children of miscreant. So that when it is out for an arrest, taking its daily constitutional, attended by my lady's black footman, the white footman enables the black footman to cross the color line in the white car any car with this miracle worker in his arms, blinking insolently at the human foals about it. "Ah, but isn't he pretty, the dear," or "O, what lovely eyes, or ears, or hair, or tail?" were some of the choice exclamations heard all over the car when touching as it were souls along the learner. With this little furry bundle of poofie sweetness in his arms the black man was not shunned, but quite the contrary. He was actually blinded, much more so than the Norman French speak better than they do their mother tongue. Instead of being despised on account of his race and color, the colored servant became instead an object of poignancy. And of the New Orleans pet pooleda a newfound friend and feminine idolators. In the same car in the "Jim Crow" seats colored women. For one of them to have crossed the color line in the race, they had to pop up behind with horror. The whole sense of things on the white side of the car would have undergone instant change. And it would have made no difference to the white passengers in mitigating in the heat of the interior door. The possibility and refinement. Not In the heat, quite unlike the contrary. For the greater the refinement and respectability which the personal appearance of a coloured bespoke, the greater will be the pleasure and refinement of them in the South under like air. The black nurse with white hair may sit with impunity on the white of a car, and in New Orleans present with a pet poodle. But gentlemen, savior and wealthier on the white side. Thus far and no farther South says to them. And thus there is no further they may go because of color and color. To overstep this, put their needs into the hull and them in every Southern State. he age a decent and industrious man took it into his head to re-birth old Southern home in Vir- He is not what might be called a man, is not a member of the tenth of his race. But he is not the his humble way, had his head wounded in a head-winner and citizen. He did his life, is a worthy member of a western church in the city where and has brought up a family of laws in the fear and nurture of Well, this sturdy decent man such to revisit the home of his father, and it was the "Jim Crow" therefore inferior in accommodation to the other side reserved for the black nurses and for dogs be-come white people. He had paid class accommodations, had in the same as the white pass- pard for their superior accomo- from him as it had taken from him favored news, and for his money he in him the worst accommodations he in him the more nor better than his it in them all of the best accommodations. The company had committed not because the laws of the country permitted it to commit this outrage some of its patrons, but in effect it to do so in the case of passengers because they happen to be passengers and color from the the passengers. A humble friend of ours is not by fighter. He is on the contrary the most peaceably disposed men we ever meet. There is no kick absolutely no rebellion. He is those colored men who follow the precepts of true conditions in America. He that his race had better submit to its hard lot in the United not because he believes in the justice lot, but rather in its enforced in its incurability under prescriptions in this Christian country, in its law made by the strong permits to trample down the weak in a people loudly boastful of its unity and civilization, is it wont that our friend made up his mind through life under such cruel conspicuously an possible? It breaks of the proverbial comel. There is not even to the passive suffering even they will turn when destination and the steamer was passed to its dock, what he saw acted in his commonplace, spirit like that he draw in the proverb, pressed upon ```markdown ``` What did he get to observe such a revolution in his lifeism? He had got out of the boat on his side and then had stopped to see who would come out of the boat a man of the other side. He saw a white man of the laundry type, and a dor of some nonscript breed. The white man was inferior to him as a specimen of the human breed. But because he was white he invented the steamboat company to give him the impressions of the land. And the dog, even the dog was allowed accommodations on the side of the boat from which the race of our colored friend had excluded him. Was he a decent Christian American citizen, or low in the South? Was he inferior in the land or in the city, and most worthless of the white race merely because without any fault of his own he happened to be painted of a darker hue than they? Did the whites rate him and his race beneath the Chinese or his race beneath the citizenship? Are he and his race worthless value than dogs? And with such volcanic questionings as耐 for the first time in his meek and patient mind, our friend turned and walked away from the scene of his underserved humiliation from a sadder and insuffered man than he he ever been before in his quiet and uneventful life. A few weeks ago a party of colored ladies was in one of the railroad stations of Washington to say good-bye to one of their number who was about to go into Virginia for a few weeks' vacation. Every minute she was about to whine that not even an expert, unless alided by some circumstances, would have suspected that they were connected with the colored race. The presence, however, of one among them distinctly colored men in the train provided colorinphobia to reason from. The conjunction of this fact with a pragmatic segregationist in the person of a white man on the train who had noticed the group in the station before the lady and had boarded the train provided at once that he had hour's experience for the lady with the little girl after she had boarded the train and taken seats in the coach for white passengers. This lady is about as white as the average complexioned white man and taken seats in the coach for flaxen-haired Saxon. Together no one would dream that they carried in their coats any Negro blood. They are so white that it would be difficult to convince a conductor or a passenger on a train that they are the eye of Southern law and South African justice connected with the colored race. To this circumstance they owed their good luck in not being ejected from the car in which they had taken their seats. For the man who had noticed them on the platform in the company of the friend who was visibly colored, informed the conductor of his amputations and requested that he be taken to the conductor, who was obviously acepted, however, in obedience to this behost of the color prejudice of Virginia to attack the problem. He approached the lady and the child, ceying them keenly the while, but if he opened his mouth to put the magic question, he did not, for his courage and his confidence forwork with the two people as white as anyone in the car, as white as the man who had objected to their presence. He passed on, therefore, full of the momentous subject of the race of two of his passengers. Again the pragmatic passenger got old and the charm that he wanted to convince him that the lady and the child were, colored. And again the doubling conductor tried to screw his courage to the sticking point. Again he started toward the objects of his carriage and armic courage and confidence forsook him in the face of so much whiteness. He gave up the attempt to enforce the "Jim Crow" car laws of Virginia and the lady and the child went through to White Passengers Only." But, although not ejected, think of the nervous strain, the mental anxiety, the agony of spirit which those brutal and iniquitous "Jim Crow" laws inflated on her during the hideous woman with a small child. So white indeed were they both that the conductor could not be persuaded that they were colored. ANCHINAL II. GRIMKE. WOMAN EVANGELIST HONORED. Mrs. Florence Randolph Given a Reception and Gold Watch. A magnificent audience assembled in St. Mark's A M E Zion church, Jersey City, Wednesday evening of last week, to do honor to Rev. Mrs. Fierce Randolph, the first woman to be made an elder in the New Jersey Conference, and who has reached the tenth mile stone in her ministerial career. The testimonial took the form of beautiful gold watch which was presented in the heart of the members of the church and her many friends on the outside. A plan also was rendered by Mrs. Maud Cole, and the Invocation was pronounced by Rev. W. A. Fitch. Rev. A. P. Miller spoke of Mrs. Randolph as a local church worker, and said that "she had rendered excellent service to him as an assistant pastor, and was at the same time a疏忽ary spirit, saying that he admitted her for her high idols. " "Nerety was rendered beautifully by Mrs. A. P. Miller, a firm chaplain who was captured in the house of Tees Song, which was a glowing tribute to Mrs. Randolph as a chaplain and a devoutly humiliated and the said that Mrs. Randolph had been an inspiration to the young women of Jersey City and adicted them to the same time of the whole of the life of Mrs. Mardam Georgia Wilson of Tarrytown charmed the house with a beautiful piano solo. Mrs. H. P. Anderson was the first paid parisian and the most well-known man and the most of the most and said she occupied from rank as a preacher, lecturer and family member, and the audience with a duet. Rev. W. A. Fitch spoke enthusiastically of Mrs. Randolph as a preacher. At Sommerville at the 1903 she preached the best annual sermon that she had been his pleasure to hear. The most common BRANDOLIN was the� and the well-known reputation by an excellent rendition of Praise Ye the Lord. An excellent address was delivered to the same time of the same day. Mrs. Randolph was a number of years and considered her a one of the most well-known preachers here at her age. Her knowledge of the life of her son was the most smooth, presented the watch, and Mrs. Randolph responded to the spiedid address in her own way and the same time of the work of her consecration to the ministry, her temperance and the mode of the life of the women of Jersey City, and my gratitude to the friends for this spiedid expression of their appreciation of my services. The closing solo was called, was, 857.12. The total A superb repeat was served to the guest, under the management of Mrs. Stokle, Mrs. Steele, Mrs. Garden, Mrs. Harper, and others. Much credit is in Mrs. Steele's generosity, for the success of the testimonial. She collected $27.75, Mrs. Steele's natural generation of the lecture room. Dr. and Mrs. W. D. Crum of Charleston, with Rifton and Mrs. W. Crum with Bishop and Mrs. Walters last week. Boston, Aug. 14.—Boston has acquired the reputation of being the literary centre of the United States. It is the one great city in this country whose intellectual light is seen everywhere. But added to this reputation, it is safe to say that Boston is also the most enthancing American city from the standpoint of architectural beauty, both in its public and business structures as well as in its private dwellings; and as for its park system there is nothing in the world to surpass it in picturequeens. The hundreds of ladies who were here last week attending the Ninth Annual session of the Northerntern Federation of Women's Clubs, were simply charmed THE LADY OF THE ROOM MRS. ALICE W. WILEY. New President of the Northeastern Federation of Women's Club. with the city and the hospitality received at the hands of its citizen. Miss R. J. Dunbar, of Providence, one of the brightest young women among Afro-Americans, who presided at all the sessions of the Federation, was delighted with the reception accorded her on every hand. The convention was held in Potter Hall, Huntington avenue, and was largely attended and was pronounced the most successful ever held. Sixty-seven delegates and over two hundred women were present. They came from Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New York and New Jersey. Much of the success of the convention was due to the uniting efforts of Mrs. Julin O. Henson, President of the Harriet Tunham B. C. T. U., through whose invitation, a year ago at Warehouse, the convention was brought to this city. The executive board met on Wednesday at 2 o'clock, but the work of the convention was really started Thursday morning at 9:30, when Miss Roberta J. Dumbar called the one hundred or more delegates to deliver the materials delivered by Mrs. Julia O. Henson and Mrs. Corbin Smith of Portland, Ms. responded. Then came the various reports. In the afternoon, Mrs. Booker T. Washington came from her summer home in South Weymouth to address the convention. From her wide experience in the field, she spoke on the value of mothers' meetings, and described how the mothers in the neighborhood of Tuskegee are reached and interested in matters of practical value—such as simple dressing, the care of home and the proper preparation of foods. Beginning with a little computer class, she now number five hundred, she said. These women are not given ideas that unit them for their humble conditions, but are shown how to make the best of what they have and to broaden in the right direction. The cooking of a common dish is an interesting way, instead of only one way, is one of the many things they have learned, said Mrs. Washington. Mrs. J. J. Jeter of Newport, president of the Josephine Yate Mothers' club, emphasized the idea that black men and women must stand for their race and stand as one. At the juvenile conference produced by the group, Replying the questions of the increase of drunkenness and the need of care regarding girls' associates' were discussed. In her annual address during the evening session the president, Miss Dunbar, reported visiting twenty-six of the sixty-three clubs in the federation, top of which are associated in this State. E. Josephine connected in this State to Mrs. Byron F. Garner read a paper on "Social Purity," and Mrs. Alice W. Wiley on "The Open Door." The work of the second day was very engrossing.

The Boston Transcript: "Dr. Sinclair has written of the citizenship of the Negro not only as a matter of race but as it appears from the point of view of history." The St. Louis Globe-Democrat: "It is a work that possesses remarkable vitality. The book is timely, ardent, and fairly written, and should prove of interest to the rudders of the book."

For a decade or more renewed vigor has been given to the agitation for representation in the blisbopric of the Afro-American membership of the Protestant Episcopal Church in this country. According to a learned and zealous advocate of the proposition, this concession was urged nearly half a century ago by the late Dr. Alexander Crummell, who remained a stout advocate of the proposition until the time of his death a few years ago. The agitation, which has taken on various phases of late years, has been pretty well threshed out in the debates of the Conference of Church Workers among the colored people, at its annual meetings. The chief ground upon which the appointment of bishops from among the clergymen of the race is demanded in to secure relief from the abused and unchristian race proscription that obtains in some Southern dioceses, and as a natural result to augment the growth of the church among the Afro-American people. Various plans have been proposed looking to this end through the medium of either suffragan or missionary bishops; but most of these have aroused opposition from two or three sources. First, many of the bishops and members of the General Convention of the Church objected to any legislation based upon race or color. Second, the southern bishops interested objected to any division of authority with a suffragan in their diocese, and the system of suffragans was generally regarded as a dangerous innovation in the church's policy. Third, some of the Afro-American parishes in the North looked upon the movement with suspicion, as involving a surreater of the position acquired by them through years of struggle as co-equal members of their diocesan conventions. In order to meet those objections from so many different and conflicting interests, the promoters of the movement have had drawn a canon, which they hope to have adopted by the next General Convention, which will meet in 1907. The canon is so adroitly drawn as to avoid the charge of color legislation, it being applicable to any race of people in the Church whose interests require special care or treatment. It provides that for such class or race, in any State, upon application of the several bishops of the diocese comprised in mid State, there may be appointed a missionary bishop from among the eligible clergy of said race requiring special care and treatment, to whose charge shall be relegated those parishes of the same race who may so elect, and also such missionary work and organizations as may already exist and may thereafter be formed through the efforts of said missionary bishop. It is also provided that an missionary organizations established by said missionary bishop shall reach a self-supporting basis, and such organizations become independent parishes, they may apply for and obtain membership in the regular diocesan conventions of their respective States, thus leaving the missionary bishop and his charge in the position of a feeder to the regular church organization. The general terms which the proposed legislation is made to assume and the permissive character given it are calculated by its promoters to disarm the opposition of the various interests affected and to ensure its acceptance by the General Convention. Whether this is so or not remains to be seen. It is possible that some Southern bishops who have had their fill of the abjurities and unchristian practices involved in dealing with the black lamb under their charge, might be glad to hand them over to a shepherd of the same color, even at the cost of setting up a missionary jurisdiction within their episcopal preserved, but it seems doubtful. On the other hand those opposed to race legislation in the church on principle are not likely to be served by verbal avoidance of the issue. The independent Afro-American parishes who have gained an equal standing in their dioceses may regard it as less dangerous to their interests in its permissory form, but they can hardly be expected to become enthusiastic in its support, unless they can be converted to the views of its promoters, who claim as the result of the appointment of Afro-American bishops a great growth of the church among the race with all the culture and spiritual awakening carried in its wake. The Knoll of Amalgamation. Josephus Daniels, editor of the Raleigh (N.C.) News and Observer, was horrified and enraged by Mr. Charles W. Chemutt's declaration that amalgamation will be the final solution, of the race problem; and in his excitement went so far an to fear that all the race entertains ambitions for ultimate social quality. But who, you say, cares whether Mr. Daniels rages or not? At least one among the whole Afro-American people; a Prof. N. C. Bruce, of Missouri, deemed that the exasperated Tahoe edition needed soothing. To him, therefore, the Professor humbly addressed a letter, greeting with salve and dripping with balm, and with fulsome servility thus apostrophizes him: "One word from them is a truth and truth as you beige or blondes so know the weak and, struggling such as all of you are, * * * I sought your good ideas and counsel and firmly believed you to be the true friend of man, whether blond or white. Moreover I am sure you would not do any individual or people an injection, a wring. My interest, respect and concern, for you have grown past friendlyly into real devotion, and you know I speak the truth." The professor knocks in admiring awa at the foot of the anaclit Andrea-Farron: "I know somewhat of Anglo-British history and my heart keeps churned by the fact of history that they, have risen to duty's call, whether in peace or war, education or religion." The Almighty is supplicated that Editor Daniels may not turn away his shining countenance from us and leave us in pichy darkness: "Ten thousand of us who are in the front, perfectly free from harboring any spurious amalgamation theories, are working, teaching, speaking, and praising that no social equality scare-crows may deter you and yours from being us the light and keeping it lifted up among us." Having perused this letter, Editor Daniels somewhat relaxed his direful frown and suffered his wrath to be partially mollified. The splendor of his vogue again illumines and rejoices a part at least of the Afro-American people. He is not yet, also, reconciled to us all. But see with what lofty graciousness he extends his hand to Prof. Bruce and his lik: "Good colored men like Prof. Bruce are doing their race a great service in repudiating social equality pretensions. They are the sort of representatives of their race who are always assured of the good will of all good white men." "It is finished. Editor Daniels reprobates amalgamation; therefore amalgamation is possible neither in the present nor the future; and the increasing number of mixed-blooded Afro-Americans must be hereafter explained on some other hypothesis. German Influence in South America German Influence in South America In the North American Review for July appeared an article by G. A. Chamberlain, lately United States Vice-Consul General at Rio de Janeiro, entitled "Our Neglect of South American Markets." The writer tersely sets forth the commercial situation, especially as it exists in Brazil, in the following statement: "Nearly half the money that enters, Brazil comes directly from the pocket of the American importer, and goes as directly into that of the German, English, French, Belgian, Argentine, and Portuguese exporter." The same thing is true of the other countries of South America, in a greater or lesser degree, with the volume of trade steadily drifting into the hands of the Germans. The reasons for this state of affairs are various, as viewed from different standpoints. For instance, Mr. Chamberlain thinks "the whole trouble lies in the American's ignorance of all things south of the equator." The American merchant considers all South American credit bad and lacks the facilities of branch houses to assure him to the contrary. Then, according to Mr. Chamberlain, "the protecting interest of the Monroe Doctrine" is presented by Brazil in particular, as galling to her pride of country, a feeling shared by others of our South American neighbors. All of these reasons undoubtedly have a basis in fact, but there are others, as set forth with more or less force in the pages of the Consular Reports, furnished by the American representatives of that branch of the service and published daily by the department of Labor and Commerce. From one of these we learn by the experience of a South American buyer in New York that not only are some of the American exporting houses ignorant of the requirements of the trade of that continent, but that they seem to regard that ignorance as bliss, refusing peremptorily to deviate from their established usage to meet the conditions as to credit, and the assorting and packing of goods. In it to be wondered at, then, that this buyer thereafter made his purchases of stock in Europe, where his requirements were studied and complied with, although he is willing to admit that American manufacturers excel as to quality? The natural inference drawn by the South American buyer, after receiving such treatment from the American manufacturer, is that there is no earnest or sincere desire to secure his trade in this country. And he is by no means convinced to the contrary by the flood of circular letters and catalogues, mostly in English, which come to him through the post and remain unread, because of the failure to use a language understood by the recipient. The careless manner in which many of these are sent is indicated by the fact that sometimes domestic postage is affixed, thus requiring the addresses to pay the deficiency as well as a penalty. In contrast to these shack methods is the thoroughly organized trade propaganda of the Germans, with their innumerable branch houses and their ability to get next to the people to whose wants they are catering. Despite the strong hand that Germany extends across the sea in the protection of her subjects cuigged in trade on this side of the globe, their relations with the people of South America seem more cordial and harmonious than those between the two continents. Of course the Germans constitute a larger foreign element, but in many cases they marry among the natives and become permanent fixtures in the social fabric, adding to its strength and solidity. Their business houses pass from one generation to another, reaping a harvest of goodwill, and intimate acquaintance with the needs and possibilities of the country. One secret of their success is the absence of the "get rich quick" fever, so common to the American, and another is their freedom from the colorphobia that the American so frequently brings with him. An instance of the German's adaptability to his environment was furnished on the occasion of an anniversary celebration of accession to power of the pres issue of one of these South American republics. A German mercenary would lay in one of the harbors of the republic and, as usual on such an occasion, the stammer was decorated with laurels. Not content with this, the captain gave a reception in honor of the occasion, inviting all the government officials of the port to attend, at which toasts were offered to the rulers of both countries. This was reciprocated by the custom house officials entertaining the German officers in a similar manner on shore, all of which was duly set forth in the local newspaper, as well as in the government organ at the capital. Now, it must be remembered that these were not the official courtships extended as a matter of course by and to the commander of a government vessel, but by a representative of German trading interests. Thus the Germans let alp no opportunity to cultivate and maintain friendly relations with our South American neighbors, at the same time abstaining from internal political entanglements, and yet asserting the protection of the Fatherland over its sons in their new habitat. As a result the Germans are not only respected on the Southern continent, but less fear and distrust are excited as to their influence and pretensions than are true of the United States. A dollar saved is worth more than a dollar earned. The Japanese are whipling the Russlang in diplomacy as they whipped them in war. The National Negro Business Learns, which has the right of way this week, is an organisation which has accomplished inestimable good for the Afro-American people, by stimulating in them the saving principle of self help in business matters. Dr. Booker T. Washington was the guest of Ex-Postmaster General John Wainmaker at dinner at Saratoga last Sunday. The efforts of some newspapers to make a sensation of it have miscarried. Dr. Washington has reached a point where he can eat with whom he please. Mr. Fred R. Moore, the Organizer of the National Business League, has worked like a Trojan to make the New York meeting of the League a success. He is a citizen of whom the Afro-American of New York are proud. He is a man who works while others talk. District Attorney Jerome is a boundless and bounding citizen who candidly admits that he may not always be right but seeks always to be honest. When he took it for granted that Mrs. Hannan Ellas was a criminal and treated her as such he may have been honest, but he was deceived as a jury of Mrs. Ellas penns-dear. Mrs. Jerome wants to be District Attorney again. He is dauntingly spectacular. Mr. Frederic L. McGhee of Minnesota has written an open letter to Bishop Walters in which he repudiates the Affo-American Council because of alleged "treachery" at the Louisville convention. The character of the "treachery" is not specified. As Mr. Fortune directed all the wires at Louisville and lived up to every understanding agreed upon with Mr. James II. Hayes and his "gang" of suffrage iconoclasts, including the Boston thug contingent, some of whom were unable to pay their way back home and are still indebted to the Council for the money that carried them back home, we think the treachery, if there was any at Louisville, was shown by the suffrage "gang," of which Mr. McGhee made himself a part voluntarily and joyously. Some men always met the wrong side of every right question. FREEDMAN'S HOSPITAL HISTORY. Origin of the Institution Dated Back to the Civil War. To the Editor of The New York Age: I notice in the issue of The Times of the 10th inst. an item of news from your able Washington correspondent, Edward E. Cooper, giving us account of the early history of the Freedman's hospital, which is incomplete to the extent that it does not go back far enough. I am the author originated in connection with the establishment of the "constrainband camp," Washington, D. C., for the shelter and care of the large number of patients during the Civil War. The camp was situated on the site of what was originally the Chelton cavalry camp, occupied by McChelton's cavalry of the company head of 14th street and about a half a mile north of P. street. The hospital was in Chelton, and the company under T. Augusta, 7th U. S. C. F. In 1853 the doctor was transferred to Camp Hurney, near Baltimore, Maryland, as companion. In 1851 the hospital was removed to the intersection of 14th street and Vermont Dr. A. R. Abbott, surgeon in Dr. Ellis, as assistant; Doctor James H. Rainer, and L. Tucker, two surgeons; Chaplain L. Tucker, two surgeons; Chaplain U. S. Vols, commissary steward; Chas R. Douglass, 3rd Hert. Cayler, U. S. Vols, property steward; Chas B. Burrows, hospital steward; Adjaceting steward; F. Martin, clerk. In 1865 the hospital was again removed, this time to its present site at the head of the street. Mr. Abbot was transferred to the hospital by Surgeon Graham, who was in turn relieved by Dr. Chas, B. Purilla. The buildings occupied were formerly known as the Freeholds home, which history the of the Freeholds home up to the period mentioned by Mr. Cooper. It is just as well not to overlook those pioneers who discharged their duty faithfully and well during the troubling period of the Civil War. ONE or THE STATE. CHANCE FOR DISCRIMINATION. From the Alushessie (L. T.) Searchlight. Now that the Negroes took the civil service examination last month made the job easier, they will be able to what will be done with the most competent Young men. We will see if they will be discriminated against on account of their race, and made 82.50 and August Keller 70.90, and all the whitened fell below this mark. A GOOD RIDRANCE. From the Springfield Republican The positive statement is made in the Baltimore American that Senator Gorman will be a candidate for reelection to his present office. He will be the senator of his term, retire to private life and devote himself to prolonging his days. Mr. Gorman's health is said to be noticeably impaired. DAWN. A tithonon stand the glowing hills To take morn's kiss of lenison.

R. L. S. CHICAGO, Ill., August 14—There was a notable gathering of Afro-American college men and women at Quinn Chapel on Thursday evening, August 2. Advantage was taken of the large number of visiting college and university graduates in the city to found an Inter-Collegiate association. There were present representatives from some fifteen institutions, including Atlanta, Fisk, Ann Arbor, Hampton, Radcliffe, Wilberforce, Lincoln, Brown, Oberlin, State College of Georgia, Chicago, Morris Brown and Talladega. A majority of the graduates present were; tenters. President Merrill of Fisk University and R. B. Wright of Georgia State College were present and added much to the interest and importance of the occasion. About 120 graduates and undergraduates were present. It was a remarkable gathering, and I believe the only one of the kind ever held in the West. Qratry was not a special feature of the meeting, although there was much said that is worth remembering and that will surely bear fruit of a practical sort. The moving spirit in this gathering was R. K. Wright, Jr., of whom mention was made in the letter to THE Aox of last week. The principal address was made to him. The principal said that the college men and women of the day are not as aggressive as they ought to be in the many interests that affect the social and political life of the people; the men and women of the higher education; the faculty and the community they must begin to take hold of the every-day problems the enter into the life that the Afro-American is forced to live. College men must be the leadership in every possible direction. He said that college education is a more preparation for responsibilities and not an end in itself. The necessity for college men to be active in politics, in the many practices and public betterment, in creating a public seminar, in progress, in helping the church to be more religious in practice and efforts and less denominational in its narrowness, and in helping us to get together and stay to some of the common good—these are some of the sentiments we desire to design this new movement. What Mr. Wright thus said was more than echoed by the spirited addresses of President Merilyn and President Wright of the Georgia State University and by the short speeches made at the meeting, following the more formal meeting. The outcome of the meeting was the formation of a permanent organization to be known as the Chicago Inter-Collegiate association. The organization thus formed is local. Chicago is to furnish the first example of what an association made of college men and women can accomplish, and be pended upon that, under the leadership of that aggressive and intrepid young man, as president, the new association will give a good account of itself. It may also be depended upon that this new organization will not waste its time and effort in discussing the comparative merits of industry, education and bachelor education. That can well be left to the academicians, whoover they are. In addition to the purpose of the College association to participate more earnestly and practically in the political, social and religious life of the community, the intention of the association to obtain school education for students and in other ways to encourage and assist those who, unassisted, are struggling to get through college. Surely this movement is an encouraging sign of progress. A few years ago the idea of an Inter-Collegiate association of college students molly of colored men and women, would have been a serious obstacle. Now it is not only easily possible it is accepted as a matter of course, as one of the assets of our progress. It is a significant sign of the times that most of our college organizations are less infiltrated with students than those of former years. The day of the more aggressive is on the wane. The organization to-day without a program that is practical and capable of being translated into factual benefits is out of date and doomed to be unenough of unoccupied air castles, which like the present day air-ships, persistently seek terra firma. The yellow fever epidemic in New Orleans has depicted Chicago of the usual August excursion from the city. No other city in the South furnishes a number of summer visitors to Chicago as New Orleans. This enforced absence has depressed State street of its yellow division that is an interesting feature of the summer life of this thoroughfare or parade street of our August invaders. The Chicago papers are making much of the remarkable record in army shooting tests made by Corporal Joseph Smith of the 25th Infantry. The following account of this Afro-American's performance is taken from the Chicago Tribune: Records for marksmanship in the United States army were broken by a Negro yes-american starry night military shooting at Fort Sheridan. Corporal South of the Twenty-fifth Infantry, Fort Reno, Okla., made the new score. A teetotaler and does not use tobacco or paraphernalia made under difficulties. William Nichols mated was ill Wednesday night and Smith mated was ill the corporal thus entered the contest after the night in which he had scarcely any sleep. made a score of 278 out of a possible 280, the best performance herefore made. Then he made a possible 200 in the slow fire shooting, leading to a possible rapid firing he made 97 out of a possible 100. Ordinance, Sergent William N. Puckett, out of a possible 300. First Sergent Gerrit Fleischmann, fifteenth infantry, division, made 260. Many others also made excellent, prec During his recent stop-over in Chicago on his way Dr. Washington referred incidentally to a bit of work which he recently accomplished that I regarded as no too important to go unnoticed. As is well known to Dr. Washington's efforts as a public figure, he are not wholly expended on Tuskegee Island. Next to the upholding of this institution created by him, and necessarily first in thought, he has absent a great deal of time thought and effort in behalf of a more common school privilege for colored youth, and are known as public country schools in the Southern States are almost a force of the Southern States are almost a force of the public country schools in the Northern States. In fact, there is scarcely such thing possible as a general advancement and educational lines for the masses, so long as the present inadequate facilities for the common school in the South are so poorly provided for. In season and out of season Dr. Washington has appealed for help in behalf of the unschooled thousands of the American children in the Southern State. That such appeals have not been in vain, evidenced by a recent gift of $110,000 to the county use of the common schools in Missouri, Alabama. This gift has been made a wealthy woman of Philadelphia in direct response to - Dr. Washington's sympathy. When preparing the person for school, he is given a better grade of teachers by the country school, and to extend the school term to each school. Compound persons are now at work making a complete map of the school districts of the country and giving careful study to conditions, with the aid of school it is designed to meet the needs of the more than doubled size that is possible, go to the relieving of the present explorable lack of school equipment. This is the sort of work that tells. The value of it is seen and heard, and the image of it is life more abundant, enlarged and strengthened to the point of. FANNIE BARRIS WILLIAMS. Cole and Johnson Burmplake of the Museum of Natural History To the Editor of The New York Age: There are races of people who because of peculiarity of feature and diction are very readily made use of by humourists as the butt of puns and pages of different degrees of worth and redemption. The Negro, the Irishman, the Jew, the German, and even the stained and unbending Englishman are each called upon to furnish his quotas of the matter, same or otherwise, that one finds under the heading of humor. It of course goes without saying which of these races supply the greatest number of feats. From his most primeval state through all the transitions of a dawning civilization old "Remus" has always been the most valuable stock feature. There are many easily understood reasons why this in him, and I do not think that intelligent Negroes are inclined to take offence when the least of the proprieties governing such matters observed. The Anglo-Saxon governs him if by no clearly defined code of ethics in by no clearly defined code of ethics in ready to criticise him in the Negro, but is ever made to the butt of obvious jokes, had given most tangible evidence that he knows how to treat those who annoy him. The churches of our people have been a most fruitful field from which to draw, and the "Brudder Johansing" type of character has become famous as picturing the freersted preaching that was largely the rule among our people a decade ago. This type is fast passing, and we are getting in to conception not not narrow in conception as to what should be taught to Men who appeal to the calmer, reasoning power of their followers, teaching as instructive and helpful to education better equipped to minister to the spiritual and moral welfare of their people, the old order accomplished great works. We should welcome the survival of the fitter. The comedian of today is far removed from the low buffoon of a generation ago the tiger rather than being to appeal to the browser emotions. Only a year or two and a well-organized and concerted movement was made by an Irish society of large membership and extensions of the family of white actors presenting the Irish comedy. "McFaddens How of Flats," While the two were in an end of the spooker and caricature horror the race they thought that in this instance it was carried too far, and they decided to make up the difference between the two. "I have no doubt to obtain general as to the fact that over-ripe fruit and eggs they made their presence in the audience felt so strong, and I think to the company that the managers finally immed by withdrawing the objectionable feasance of the performance. Our own Cole and John and the other who have suffered because of their disposition to refine and to change their performances and to address the public has been very well established." "We are present as no-told it and, commented in terms of a highly gratifying. We certainly owe a debt of gratitude to them for having proved that it is with the same method which block heretofore pictured as possessing all�ftab�ableinable characteristics that tradition is based on the Jewish race, now finds defenders in the performance. I think Mansefield and Adler, I believe that we do it a certain advanced set of Negro educators." "I am very qualitatively in the last four years, particularly in the South that we are being to see the great worth of the old work and self-preservation in the first law of nature. I am not sure of the�ness of the work of the new social fabric which we believe the law of nature and of nature's God expect for the small cultivate a general respect for the health of the individuals that are striving to obtain that end." The following, then, struck me rather, has a common thought, and still an optimist an acquaintance, being the most important pamphlet which he purchased at the research to which he belongs and which strikes me as a common value of the sense of the fitness of things. The little page of the "Some Humorous Sayings," Heard by Rev. C. W. Walker, D. D. L. D., During His Long Mission, Mr. W. W. R.R.I.R. with an introduction by Rev. M. W. Gilbert, D. D. "On the Inside cover the introduction reads as follows: This modest little book is the public in the hope that its perennial may be the driving away cases by giving the reader some a condition of real Negro humor as observed by a glistened and unfeasible character of the race." Dr. Walker, who furnished the stories or rather the material for the book, was a very wonderful recent memory, and his a wonderful sentiment of the humorous figure of an student of conversation. Further on it stated that the number of D. D. has placed the race under obligation. He was by preserving the fifth-provoking incidents during the career of Dr. Walker. It is considered the most important part of the work that will meet with a warm reception from the reading public. Then follows a series of other related under-such headlines as "Dying Rat," "Preserved Turnback," "Pride," "Rising Hill," "Dr. Walker," a Jim Hooks, "Celebrations," "Seeing His Tracks," etc. of the "Buzzard," "Seeing Him, Ministers, Two of them titled who have had themselves called to the service of God and the human who have�s offices to recite in the recent with their hogs and prayer-meeting confessions of these bended sons for mith-provoking purposes, becoming their members to explain. This Rev. D. D. and Re. D. L.

Without the might have been inhlicing, better get it, should not have been published at all. We could get along with them, and in the same way we have been in the stricter men and catchpenny in the extreme, And if this should ever come to the no- ture, if these three, I recommend that they read the first, leaving, from Chapter 9, book IIL, of "One Mutual Friend," substituting Negro for Jew. Regular Correspondence of the Ame. ATLANTA, Ga., August 14.—The Rev. Alexander Bealer, white, of Georgia, attended the recent Baptist meeting in London and has been writing back for the Atlanta Journal his impressions. First and foremost, the Reverend Bealer desired to speak of the Afro-American ministers he met and the treatment they were receiving at the hands of the Londoners. He was greatly shocked because Afro-Americans were not turned out into the streets to eat and sleep, but were permitted to put their satchels on the Brumus carpet of good rooms at decent hotels and their feet under malabar at respectable dinner tables. Then again, Reverend Bealer waxed both audiences applauded. Afro-American speakers and attention was shown them. It was all very jarring to the nerves of the Reverend Bealer. He just could not realise how such things could happen among him. Once it seems he was forced to sit near a colored delegate and he failed to enjoy the meeting. Of course, down this way there is no such thing written in the list of Christian charities as brotherly treatment at least. Reverend Bealer has never discovered it. Speaking of this preacher's ideas about treating fellow ministers brings up the thought that it is becoming quite the right thing in some quarters to misreat the Afro-American and then plead that he is an inferior and should not be shown the treatment of his superiors. Indeed, so far has the argument been carried there are many who openly claim that it is all right in the sight of God. It puts us all to thinking how little Christian means to some people. Reverend Bealer's conception of Christian duty is to deny a fellow human-being a decent meal and a comfortable home. And the further to which we try to whether those who act really believe that an American does after all go to the same place to which they go when he leaves this vale of tears. There is one lone Afro-American in the Georgia legislature, and if you were to enter the legislative chamber you would have a hard time to locate him. Rogers and he comes from the county of Mebena and which has three Afro-American citizens, which is white one. His home town is Darien, and while it is overwhelmingly colored by population, it nevertheless has no Afro-American city officials. By special legislation the right to select those officials is taken from the people and Darien's few allies hold the job. Naturally, Rogers is handling the matter of having legislation passed both facially to his people because he is so fiercely outvoted. But he is always on hand and never fails to vote and sometimes to speak on pending questions. He is very well by his colleagues and no complaint from his source has reached the outside world. If he is ever snubbed no mention of it has been brought to the attention of the public. Some twenty odd years ago the Georgian legislature contained a majority of Afro-Americans at several sessions. It was a reconstruction period, about which has been written and said. These were not educated in the modern sense of the term but of them had a good store of good common sense and what is the hardened mother-wit. In spite of the hardened mother-wit, they enacted some of the best laws on the statute books to-day. Of course some of those Afro-American legislators were corrupt, just like some white ones are 10-day, but in the main they were a grafter, like men. Now and then a grafter, like men, then unminder, used them as catpaws to out of the political fire for them, but left to himself the average Afro-American legislator of reconstruction days was a pretty honest sort of fellow. South Carolina was especially fortunate in having an African city was the rule in all the other States. At last it was decided that the Afro-American must be excluded from the legislative halls in Georgia and it is required that Bishop Turner, who was a member of the legislature at that time, made a speech for its use and covering the better part of two days. From that time to the present the States has had in its legislative chamber at least one Afro-American at each session. They have done whatever they could in one instance by smashing in and in one two instances by smashing in and in one desirable legislation enacted. It is a hard matter for an Afro-American to be elected to the legislature notwithstanding the fact that the counties they live in are African by a large majority. It not infrequently happens that an Afro-American voters vote for the white candidate, though too often the colored brother is counted out or fails of election by some means, which is the same as being the out to him. The present member of the board is a splendid chance to get in a word for the new, that a bill to abolish the colored military is up for consideration. This measure is being vigorously pushed and seems to pass. If it does it will stand standing dead. The States men who compose the military are ready to fight for the flag as anybody else and should not be given such treatment. In time of warfare they have come up and volunteered and are ready to fight. In spite of this and the need to the general government supports them, it appears that they must go. As Georgin's Afro-American legislator has had no word of protest. He might come up and somehow it seems that he might deliver himself. Now words on the unfair pending measure. Col. J. H. Deveaux, of Savannah, and others, are taking active stress in trying to defend the bill. It was not so many years ago that Colonel Deveaux made a full-fledged colonel by the State through a military officer, not account of his past military service, when, he being a federal officer, that dead disease, yellow fever, which is even prevailing in Louisiana, raced in the town in which he was located, he refused to leave his duty and remained in the pierken city, rendering ever assistant to the governor. It is sincerely hoped that he will bemitted to see the military so dear to him retained. In fact, all of Georgia's American citizens wish it thus. THOMAS H. MAYNES. DANGER NOT IMMEDIATE.

C., August 14—The captured business men of this city have shown common sense to a commendable degree by organizing themselves into a local branch of the National Negro Business League. This local organization has come at the right time and fills a much needed want. It is the fruition of conditions that have been taken form here for years and years. A large money spending population without a regularly organised channel to control and keep in touch with the money spent daily, weekly, annually, has kept the Negro at a financial disadvantage and made of him a cipher in commercial circles. To such an extent has this indifference obtained among the Afro-American people that white merchants have grown impertinent, may, opulent, on the money put into their coffers by Negro patrons, while they have studiously denied them any recognition in the way of employment of help except in the most menial capacity. The white merchant feels justified in employing any foreigner who may not even be able to speak the English language nor read the Constitution, but it would "hurt his business". were he to employ colored clerks and salesmen. The local league proposes to look into these matters. It has elected its officers and its delegates to the National Negro Business League which meets in New York this week. Various working committees have been appointed and a systematic effort will be made after the National meeting referred to, to enlist the sympathy and co-operation of every colored man in the District of Columbia who is engaged in any way in any kind of business. At the meeting held at True Reformers Hall, 12th and 13th street last Tuesday night, August 8, the following committees were appointed: Press committee, Hon. John C. Dancy, chairman, J. W. Cromwell, Dr. W. L. Board, J. C. Bulls and W. H. Wald, mennabach committee, Q. F. M. Brown, R. Burt, N. Brown, E. A. Lankford, R. E. Rencher and W. S. Pittman, and public health and sanitation committee, Dr. A. M. Curtis, chairman, Dr. J. R. Francis, Miss Georgia A. Coleman, Misa F. Moss, Dr. Fred Barrier, Misa F. Moss, Dr. William C. Moss, The delegates elected to the National meeting in New York were: J. A. Lankford, Maj. Charles R. Douglas, George F. Collins, J. A. Oobb, Arthur S. Gray, A. H. Underdrawn, R. H. Terrell, James A. Page, W. H. Davis, Mary Mossell, Dr. M. Cusin, Mary Mossell, George Coleman, W. L. Pollard, Daniel Freeman and Dr. John R. Francis. A committee was then appointed on business enterprises to collect facts relating to the different kinds of business carried in by members of the race in this country. J. Y. C. Burrell, Daniel Freeman, Chairman, B. H. Baker and Dr. W. L. Board. A committee was then appointed to make arrangements to trader a reception to the delegate when they return from Yokohama to Tokyo; follows; Mr. B. H. Baker, chairman, Mimi C. Contes, W. S. Pittman, Charles Fisher, H. T. Swann and T. L. Leatherwood. The Waynwright Pleasure club gave an enjoyable picnic and outing at Robinhood Street, Pomeroy Street, Tuesday, August 5. Dr. J. A. Page of the Pension office, will spend his summer vacation visiting the principle cities in the East. He hails from the Sun Flower State and in addition to his work in the Pension office, will spend his summer vacation in the Howard Medical School, and is an extern at Freedman's Hospital. The Fountain pharmacy, Messrs. Gray and Gray, proprietors, have scored another victory, in acquiring a branch station on the corner of the station No. 56 and Mrs. Dr. A. S. Gray has been named as superintendent. The patrons of True Reformers hall as well as the residents in the neighborhood of 12th and U streets may now be furnished with the necessary equipment without the trouble of going down town. THE NEW YORK AGE is also for sale at the Fountain pharmacy. It is not generally known that of the seventy-three special police who guard the city, only one is a colored man. These men are officered and disciplined like a regularly organized police force and are under the Sergeant-at-Arms of the Senate. Col. Dan Hansdell, Mr. Hansdell is an Indian and came to this United States Marshal under the late Benjamin Harrison. Frederic City, Md., a town made famous by Barbara Freiehle, has contributed a goodly number of substantial colored citizens to the Nation's Capital.

Easy Terms RENOLD, LIGHSTON 150 Nassau Street A glorious head of golden hair; an cool choke who chews us as crimson as an Italian sky at sment hour; a pair of pishish eyes that beamed with youth and detention, and in which the dreams of a manion first looking out beyond into the restless years of womanhood could be dissected as plainly as if they were written out in a book; this was Hale Jacques she allotted from the family carriage and tripped up the steps of the surely mansion called Craig's Nest, on Station Island, the river and still month of a shopping trip to New York, and the ex- pensive purchases she had made her unile consciously with severe satisfaction. Never find the proud daughter of a proud looked lovelier. Henri Jacques came from France in company with Marquela de la Fayette, and proudly attentively in the armies of the confederate colonies for their independ- ence, came to a stable family, noted for均匀, hospitality and dauntless --- When the war was over and the colonies had won their right to be free and independent, the young Jacques, who had won honorable promotion for gallantry on the field, did not return to France with his compatriots. A pretty face, a roguish pair of eyes, a lovely New York girl, had stolen his heart away, and after a successful wooing they were married, and the young man entered into a business partnership with father-in-law. Business was long gone. The firm of Craig & Jacques has survived the mutations of time. None other good higher in the business and social of New York. Wealth was theirs in profusive abundance. Craig's Nest had long been the favorite home of the Jacquesena. It had been remodelled so many times that nothing of the original structure remained to modern times, so to speak. But the stately oaks had grown with the years, and untold wealth had been lavished upon the grounds, which were ample, and beautiful. Else Jacquesena lived at Craig's Nest with her father, the man she was years ago resigned his large business to Hunt, her only brother, who was one of the shrewdest of business masters, and one of the jolliest and most popular of New Yorkers. He was almost as well known in the high social and business circles of London and Paris as New York. He had not and known no end of men from dukes to ordinary chaps who travel on their looks and infinite self-assurance, and he was popular with them all, for he was a royal demons who took delight in fast and bloody bloodshed and had lots of hazards to witness a scientific bout between celebrated champions of the ring. Of course, Henri Jacques adored his beautiful sister. She was the peculiar pay of his life, and he had often stated that he would never wed until she had given her heart and hand to a man worthy of her. But Elisie had never owned any desire to bestow her affections upon any one else than her father and her idolized brother. Men of two comments were distracted with love of her, but had sought and pleaded in vain for her hand. When Elisie Jacques entered her home she rushed into the arms of Henri, who had come from the city in her absence. He frequently deserted his bachelor quarters in the metropolis to spend the night with his father and sister, and he frequently accompanied a friend. I have now conquered for you, sir, as whispered. "Indeed! But I am not seeking conquest, I am satisfied with you." That may be; but you will some day worry of me and transfer your Near it examined the devoted girl as she vanished up the stairway. When she returned to the drawing room shortly after, Henri Jacques arose, and called his friend. "Count Meloise, Miss Jacques," said Hare. And they were soon at home, like old friends who are young will be, for Elsie knew the Count well, as her brother had in singing his praises ever since he returned from Paris in September. Count Meloise was a man of the world. He had seen and gone through as much the age of thirty as other men at fifty. He had travelled everywhere, and had a European reputation, which was an innable conglomerate of mystery. His sources always appeared to be limitless. Women in all ranks smiled upon him and honored at the niggersally notice he took of them. He was the same to all curious, and obliging, a mystery unavail- He had met Henri Jacques at Monaco, and from there they had traveled together and visited many of the favorite resorts of the Old World. The young men were of the same age, and their friend hip rapidly grew into the strong, and most unusual kind. Count Mebius soon knew all that he knew that he desired to know, for the American was, after the nature of his frank, open, and unreserved toward THE AFRO-AMERICAN INVENTOR. In Face of Handicaps, His Achievements Show Creative Talent. From the Springfield Republican. The picture of a young Negro operating a new motor car that he had invented was printed in one of last week's issues of the St. Louis Globe Democrat. In the account of the Negro and his work, the young man was treated with perfect respect, and it was evident that he had serious efforts to improve the automobile, especially in the matter of economy of gasoline fuel. The St. Louis paper gives the inventor's name as William Louis, and says of him, "This month he built Lools and attended school here until 17 years old. He now want to work in a machine shop, spend his leisure hours studying mechanical motion. Cooper's machine shop, he two processors not coming up quite to the workers' expectations. The first one was for $250 and the latter he swapped for $100, which the present machine instructed." Whatever may be the worth of this new device, it is evident that he has native talent of a mechanical and inventive character. Now, he is a Negro. His picture shows that fact very clearly. How many Negro inventors are there far appeared in America? Does he possess inventive genius to any considerable degree? It is probable that he creates, majority of persons would answer that the Negro as an inventor was a stronger to them than that thereand not to the black folks credit for possessing inventive talent in any record as having said, in response to an inquiry from the United States patent office that he "never knew a Negro to invent anything but lies." It is time, then, that the majority of us learned the facts. The use of the young St. Louis Negro, which he changed to nick out of a St. Louis newspaper, is by no means isolated and unprecedented. A few years ago the patent office was his Island. But Heari Jacques knew nothing of the history of Count Molena. He would talk of everything beneath the sun but himself. Heari attributed this to the reserve of molena, and forebore to press his friend. He had promised Heari Jacques that he would come to New York. Perhaps he would settle there; perhaps engage in the banking business. Heari amused him he would only be too glad to make a place for him in the firm of Craig & Jacques. Of course, the Count came to New York. He was not the man to withstand the solicitations of such a man in the meantime he would think seriously of the business proposition. When Count Meloise saw Eleanor Jacques for the first time, his past life flashed across his mind with the rapidity of lightning, and for the moment he was completely blinded. His better nature cried out against that past, but in another moment his composure came to him. The man of the world, the nobleman, the man who must always be calm, self-processed and indifferent, asserted the domination of his faculties to which he schooled himself. But he knew that he had looked upon that which he had never seen before; he knew he stood before a woman younger, more courageous, more penetrating, more kinder, his friend, her mother; and moreover, he knew he stood before the only woman he had ever seen into whose eyes he could not look steadily for a second. The woman fascinated him, charmed him, and he hated himself and loved the women he felt he could never win honestly. The early hours of evening wore away all too rapidly for Count Meloise and all too slowly for Elise Jacques. It didn't matter to Henri. He was at home. His sister was a perfect pianist, and possessed a soprano voice of rate compass and purity, and the Count possessed a tenor of remarkable range and silvery tone. They sang and Henri listened and felt extremely satisfied. When the young men left Craik's Nest the next morning Elsie rode to the ferry with them and urged them to come again. The Count assured her he should do so, and Henri assured her he would think it over, a sly way of saying he did not care to be in the way, which made Elsie blush very much and wish her big brother was in Europe, or somewhere else. Count Meloise became a constant visitor at Craig's Nest. He could not remain away. Elsie Jacques was a magnet that drew him from New York even against his will. She gave him no encouragement. She treated him with extreme patience, but she remained made with sternness and dignity. Indeed, the more she saw of the Count the more she distrusted him. He had an evil eye, and she could read him through as no one else had ever done. He was furiously in love and proclaimed his suit with the dogged determination of desperation. Nothing, repulsed him. But he was ever gentlemanly, courteous, insistent, deferentially so; and yet he feared him, with a nameless, unmalaizable fear, and could never master the courage to declare his love. When the words would rise to his tongue they would die unspoken, because he could not hazard his fate, so pregnant, would her answer be upon his future. Though she hated the Count and thoroughly disrusted him, he strongly fascinated Elaine Jacques. Why? She could not tell. She soundlessly resisted his advances, laughter, dignified and cold as Parisian marble; and yet she rather enjoyed his society; she rather rejoiced that she knew much about him, half the marriageable woman of his set in Europe were hopelessly in love with him. And if his eyes were not so treacherous, if they shot not forth glances in which murder or madness lurked, Elaine felt that she might but she thought away. The surprising grass of his manners and person, the fullness of his information, and the alluring sweetness of his voice these drew him to her. He was so generous, so country, so kindness, so warm, so graceful, and so charmed but tolerated his advances. And there came a time when Elsie Jacques felt that Count Melise was necessary to her. She did not love him in the way that young women usually love, but she felt drawn to him by an irresistible influence she could not control. He was eloquent, persuasive, vehement, and his conversation was rich beyond compare. He sang like a bird. In French, in English, in German, in Italian he sang with capital themes, precision and sweetness, and their voices did so blood, so harmonicize. And often Elsie would close her eyes while he sang or talked, and dream that upon him Count Melise would thrill with a feeling strange, row, overmastering and so sweet. But it was dangerous. And when she would open her eyes and catch those of Count Melise centered upon her the rich glow of patriotic blood would suffuse her cheeks and then surge back to her heart, beating her pale and cold and voiceless. A great fear would come upon her which she could not rid herself of until they able to digout of its records a partial list of 157 patents that had been issued to Negroes since the establishment of the office. Twenty-one of these patents were issued before 1875; in the years 1875-80 there were 15 issued; in 1880-85 there were 31; in 1885-90 there were 73; in 1890-95 there were 90; in 1895-100 there were 126. The steady increase since slavery days is a fact worthy of attention. Of the 157 patents, 60 were for railroad appliances, 35 for mechanical devices, 18 for textile and paper-making apparatus and 27 for electrical apparatus. The whole list covered a wide field of industrial activity. It is worthy of more also, while only one of these applications credited to 128 Negroes there were Negroes who had patented a large number of devices. Twenty-seven separate inventions were credited to one man, 22 to another, 16 to another and 10 to still another. As to the value of the work of the most prolific of these Negro inventors, the brochure on The Negro Artisan, edited by Prof. Du Bois, makes this interesting statement: "The most prolific inventor in the country will be with electrical devices many of which are in use all over the country and one of which is the well-known transmitter used by the Bell, Telephone Company; and Elijah McCoy of Detroit, with 22 inventions (and another in collaboration) who is the pioneer in the matter of machinery lubricators and wheed inventions are used on nearly all machines." With such a record the mechanical genius of the Negro can hardly be doubled." Suppose the Negro had a fair chance in mechanical industry throughout the country. North as well as South; suppose the labor unions did not boycott and obstacle him; and suppose every Negro having mechanical talent found the right trade open to him as far as he could make his way therein, evidently we should then hear more of the Negro inventor than we do. But even as things are, the fact is established that invention is a power that crops out in the Negro turned to the piano and lifted up their voices in song. "If he did not have those eyes!" she thought. Malolio watched each change of color of toms of colors of action, swayed Elisa Jacques. He was master of womanology. He had made the sex a study, and no man had enjoyed the advantages of a higher school. His opportunities had been limited. He had become associated in business with Henri Jacques, and a prime favorite New York society. He had written a book. His life was anchored at Crivitz Nest. When the pleasant May days came, Count Melioire was regarded as the accepted author of Elise Jacques, so amidstions wore his attentions to her. And even Henri asked no questions, and the older Jacques seemed to regard him as a future member of the family. Even Elise began to feel that she could no longer resist the fascinations of the persistent, the artful nobleman. But there was always a great four present with her, and she could never look into the Count's evil, wild eyes without shivering. She could not make up her mind to trust the plausible Count; she felt that she could not be happy with him as his wife. But the hour came when there could be no more doubts. The moment was at hand when she must say "yes" or "no." Count Meloise felt that all was clear before him. There had been such change in her reception of him, such toleration of his intentions, so many evidences that he had an ordinary interest in him, that he felt to be the only one all or lose all. His whole life was wrapped up in this woman. Beyond her, life contained nothing that he friezed. He would ask her to be his wife. If she accepted him he would be the happiest, the proudest man on earth. "But if she refuses me?" and there was a cold glitter in his eyes, and he gushed his teeth, through which the words were bissed. The darkest hour was closed on so ninety. The darkness, hour upon hour, stumbled upon the bosom of the deep. Within the sitting room the glittering chandeliers threw a soft light upon the rich surroundings. They had just finished a duet and had walked to the window, and were gazing out into the darkness and into the solemn stillness. And this they stood for a second, when Count Meloise, in a voice thrilling with passion, but as soft and persuasive as the sun, said: "Miss Jacques - Elise - I love you more than I love my life." Be my wife." The young woman stood as in a dream. The voice charmed her; her soul responded to the pleading. A strange spell was upon her. But she was silent. The moment had come she had dreaded, and she was not prepared to meet it. And so she was silent. "Be my wife. I love you," he said in so low a voice that it was almost inimitable. "I don't know!" she said, looking still in the darkness. "I don't know." "But say you will." And he placed his arm around her slender waist and drew her to him. And she nestled there a brief moment, thrilled and entranced by a strange power and a feeling unearthly in its capture. When he stooped to press upon her lips the kiss tint, would seal forever their truth, she lifted her lips to his. The movement broke the spell, and are his lips touched here, she had gazed into his eyes and turned her head away, murmuring: "I can never be your wife." The Count was so taken by surprise that the color left his cheeks, the strength his bins' and Elise glided from his embrace and staggered to a lounge, upon which she danced down like a ballerina before either spoke. The Count had not moved from the window, Elise gazed upon his mummy form and could not remove her eyes. He slowly turned from the window. His face was ashen in its paleness, and there was the dislaboration of Hades in his eyes into which the young woman looked with terrestrial horror. "You will not carry me!" he said in a colonial voice, as he advanced toward her. "I cannot," I cannot," she cried. "But you will!" Else started from her seat in utter establishment, and, facing him, said, with dignity. "But I will not, sir!" "But you will," he said he coolly. "Never, sir," she said, and as she turned to leave him a gold hilted stiletto dashed a moment in the candle light and descended with the rapidity of lightning. The vague woman sank to the floor, but the assassin caught her one she felt, and held her in his arms, where she died without a turmur. Imprinting one kiss upon her virgin lips, and exclaiming, $5 he knoefed: He plunged the stolte into his own heart and fell upon the floor, the lovely heart of his victim resting upon his guilty breast at the moment when his spirit went to join hers at the bar of Infinite Justice. CHURCH OPENING AT ENGLEWOOD. A Minister's Lawn Party: Preparing for Presbyterian Council. ENGLENWOOD, August 14. Shiloh A. M. E. Zion church, which has been recently renovated and required, was opened last week with a three nights' entertainment. The special features were a reception on Tuesday night to the pastor, Rev. F. R. Dangerfield, and the presentation of the "Docker Chair" on the following night. The pastor's reception was given by the Ladies' Club, under the management of Mrs. L. Spith and Mrs. T. McCullough. Mrs. H. Decker, after whom the chair presented to the church for the tripst is named, was especially honored on the second night. She gave the first dollar that was given to the church, Rev. L. G. Mason of Sparkill, N. Y., presented the chair in a neat speech in which he spoke very complimentary of the worth and work of "Mother Decker. Among those who made the tripst were John Cotty, J. E. Jenkins, Rev. J. W. McMoffard of Daterson, Rev. Dr. Fitch of Tarrytown, and Mr. Joseph Black. Prizes were given to Misses Dowles and Crosslin for selling tickets. The affair was well attended each night. A most enjoyable lawn party was given at 23 Demarest avenue on Tuesday evening by the many friends of Rev. A. M. Harrison in token of the high esteem in which he is held. Rev. Harrison will soon return South, where he will do religious work during the winter. Miss Nannie Bowler of Richmond, Vn. Mrs. Lucy Anderson of Jersey City, and Mr. M. L. Bird of Manhattan will guest of Mr. and Mrs. the last Sunday of October and another of Plushing. Long Island were also their guests last week. A large and strong committee was appointed by Hedyth Presbyterian chapel last week to arrange for the meeting of the Presbyterian Council, October 26. Special correspondence of The Ame. OMAS, SAMAR, P. I., July 18.—The Negroes in the Philippine Islands are mostly ox-soldiers, coming from the Ninth and Tenth Cavalry and Twenty-fourth and Twenty-fifth Infantry, with a very few from the Hospital Corps. These men took their discharges in the Islands, thinking that they might be given an opportunity to better, themselves. Knowing that they were discriminated against in their own country, they thought that the Islands might afford a fairer field for them. But their hopes were vain; out of the whole number who came here, only a few received recognition when it became time for appointments to positions in civil government. The Negroes here are men holding excellent discharges from the army, and are not a thriften set, but men of good standing and fair education. But Chinese, Japs, Irishmen, Dutchmen, Swedes, Germans, Italians, Arabs, Greeks, Turks and every other nationality upon the face of the globe received recognition before the Negro. There were men among these Negroes who had helped to charge San Junn Hill, thereby saving the honor of their country; and all of them had helped to put down the insurrection in the Philippines. What was their own? A very few were going to moral jobs, such as working around the clubs in Manila. The majority were left to live as best they could. Now, why was all this ingratitude? Was it because they were incapable? No, it was because their faces were black. Right in Manila prejudice has begun to spread like a wild-fire. The Manila papers in every issue insult the colored people. They burlesque them, saying that they are loafing around living off of the natives; but never once speak of their own poor who infest the dives and are more than glad to receive hand-outs from the natives. The only reason why the poor whites do not live off of the natives more than they do is because the natives will not let them. Every effort is used to army the natives against the colored people. Is there anything left for our people to do? Absolutely nothing. In where anything expresses an insult. Everything. The Philippine constabulary is offered quietly by white ex-soldiers. Why not give the Negro ex-soldier a chance? He is aptly fitted. "Oh no," they say, "it will never do to fill some of these places with Negroes. They are not reliable. Let them beowers of wood and drawers of water." The positions on the transports sailing to and from Manila are also filled by the whites, with very, very few exceptions. The police force in-Munila is made up principally of white ex-soldiers, only a few colored men being recognized in this department. Those who received appointment were given inferior places, such as the white men did not care for. There were many positions on mail clerks, carriers and so forth, but only two or three Negroes managed to "butt into" the postal department, and then only into mental assistance. In view of this situation, I am inclined to exclaim in paraphrase of the words of the Bible: "The foxes have holes and the birds have nests, but the Negro has no place to lay his head." The Negro is patient, long-suffering and forbearing; in fact, he has the patience of Job. Too much patience by far for his own good. "JIM CROW" BARBER LEADERS. From the Western Ace. No Negro who conducts a business in which he is reason of American race prepares he is called upon to deny his own race accommodation is not entitled to pity or sympathy when such business man is formed to be white. The earlier business in which Negro is confronted with every day. As a rule the leader who shaves white men at the excision of his own race usually gets the credit for his success. The second business and Negro is confronted with his powder, but he is indicted for anything except a moral and moral leader. In the same manner half-informed white men in the business looks upon his Negro leader as being the highest type of Negro business and leader. This type of Negro business is held from the beginning and is the highest type of Negro business and leader. It must be remembered that soft handed and outraged men who pursue business and exile Negroes on the basis of their race have been indicted for Negros in their bodies any more than the white but beors are looked upon as the leaders of the race and integrity into the standards which Negros measure their capable leaders.

Members of the After-Holiday Association of the State — Willingham College Nature of the Hudson. Yonkers, August 14. On Thursday afternoon, August 10, Yonkers League, No. 1, Colored Co-operators of America, formally opened for inspection five new buildings on their property at the corner of Riverdale avenue and Calver street. Speeches were made by Mayor J. R. Anderson, Rev. H. Arthur Boehner, Rev. F. J. Menitris and Rev. J. J. Suyer. J. R. Green provided. Excellent music was rendered by Jordan Creedau's orchestra and light refreshments were served. The following article by Rev. J. J. Suyer, president of the company, gives an excellent description of the buildings: The front yards on Riverdale avenues have been terraced up from two to three feet and nicely sodded with green grass, and on Calver street from one to two feet. The houses stand fifteen feet back from the sidewalk. The porches are supported by large round columns which, with the ballistaers, lend a greater decorating appearance to the front of the buildings than the usual appearance on flat buildings. The quality of the front doors and the heavy plastic glass panels lend additional dignity. The front doors open into a vestibule, from which private halls and private stairways run. The rooms are finely finished and the woodwork is of unusually good quality. The rooms are commodious and the buildings carry all the improvements, even to letter boxes in the vestibule and the opening of the front door by the pushing of electric buttons from the kitchen. The rear porches carry winding stairways which are neatly enclosed for protection from the wind and weather. The roofs are finished with triple dip-tin, well protected by paint. The cellars are graded to slope downward to a point for the purposes of drainage, covered with a purpose of thickness of crushed cinders and all cemented in an even and an attractive manner. Commodious coal bins and storage rooms with windows for light have been arranged for the tenant. The whole house is piped for gas. Each floor is trimmed out with gas brass fixtures and has been sodded with green grass and small walks made of cement and crushed stone. The rear yards have been graded and trimmed with grass, while from the rear porches swing open umbrella clothes frames for the washing, leaving the yards free from the tall, ugly posts and ragged lines which cause such disfigurement to many back yards. The houses are neatly painted in modest colors, which all blend together harmoniously to produce a very fine effect. Each house has five rooms and a bath on the first floor, and six rooms and a bath on the second and third floors. This batch of houses is easily worth thirty-five thousand dollars, but is sold to the colored people for less than that to place them within their reach. Such floors also are worth from $22 to $25 per month. They are being rented to the people for $15, $16 and $17 in order to keep them within reach. These houses have been sold for a very small cash payment and a small monthly payment in addition to the rent. The second house on Riverdale avenue is an olive green color trimmed with pure white, bought by Miss Lucretia Madison and Miss Alice Jones, each one of whom pays five dollars a month in addition to $50 monthly rent. The first house from the corner on Riverdale avenue is of a light brown color, but for whom it is called a brown bird is bought by it, called a unit, that is ten. They are, Dr. J. A. Morgan, Mrs. Sarah Jackson, Mr. Richard Webb, Mrs. Alice M. Lucas, Mrs. Annie Johnson, Mr. Charles Richardson, Mrs. Lucy Johnson, Mr. Walter Bailey, Mrs. Julia Bias and Mr. John Oliver. Each of these paid $50 cash and will pay $5 monthly in addition to the rent, making $100 per month. The corner house is painted pearl-gray, trimmed with cream, and is bought by Mr. John R. Green, who paid $230 cash and will pay $5 monthly in addition to the rents, making $5 monthly. The first house on Culver street is painted yellow, trimmed with white, and was bought by Mrs. Tamar Lane, who paid $230 cash and will pay $5 monthly in addition to the rent of $47. Hunting $12 paid monthly. The second house on Culver street received its last coat of paint. It is bought by Mr. Samuel H. Bailey, who paid $230 "The company is organizing members of the Afro-American race who wish to change their condition by work rather than by talk. They are being organized into societies known as leagues, which exist as a means for carrying out the purposes of the movement. The leagues have the standing in the movement as subordinate lodges, and the board of rectors of the corporation has the standing as the grand lodge, and are known as the grand central board of management. The whole order taken to go is called The Colored Co-operators of America. The local society is a league and the supreme authority is vested in the grand central board of management. The work of the order is made possible by the willingness of philanthropically inclined people to assist the worthy movement by making larger loans on real estate than can be obtained from ordinary property for purely commercial purposes. The method of operation is to get a small payment from the individual to be benefited and to get some liberal-hearted person to lend as much of the balance as possible to the grand central board of management, making up the deficiency on the amount required to the land and cross the business. The board of directors know that notwithstanding the prices and terms of these buildings, they will be able to make a small profit on each which they may collect with the years and which may be used as a building fund, giving them a continually larger and larger amount with which to carry on this work and so actually solve the long discussed Negro problem of the United States.

D., of the Gammon Theological Seminary and editor of *The Voice of the Norro*, gave a practical lecture at St. John's M. E. church on Monday evening. He chose for his subject "What the nation has done for the Negro." The doctor handled his theme in a very philosophical way, and made many art illustrations between the landing of the Pilgrim Fathers in this country from England and the coming of a few Africans in a little Dutch ship on the shores of Virginia. He said in part: "Since 1865 only forty years have elapsed, and the Negro has produced many eminent men of industry and honesty in a way of developing this people. A nation must first be slaves before they can be made a great people. The Indian who never bonds, but breaks, has never produced alone a great man. No lawyers, doctors, or teachers, but a great man, among them, because they would not submit to the ordal of servitude." At the close of his address Dr. Bowen offered for sale the August number of *The Voice of the Norro*, and some annual subscriptions. He lectured at St. John's M. E. church, strangle, on Tuesday evening. The National Grand Lodge, L. O. of G. S. and D. of S. will convene at Chattanooga, Tennessee, Wednesday, 25th.

D., No. 350 W. 12th TO WITHDRAW FROM CONNECTION. Statement by the Grievance Committee of Bethel Church. I. W. Wells, chairman of the grievance committee of the Bethel, A. M. E. church, Manhattan, and who speaks for the officers and congregation of said church, makes the foreword. "Since 1820 Bethel church, New York, has been loyal to the A. M. E. connection, and has held no mean place in the front ranks, and has done no small service for the present time that the church owns the most of the church's possessions of the race anywhere in the world. The congregation is one of the largest assembled in a race church, and the officers feel that the church deserves fair treatment of the hands of the recently assigned plhson. We are about to be forced to withdraw from the connection, as the only way of protecting our altar from the profane presence of the man whom our bishop instills on us, is to have churches in New York and Brooklyn have told most positively that the presiding elder is not accountable to the people. Lately we compiled with the bishop's request and furnished him a written statement of some detail, and we have determined that under no circumstances will they submit, even one minute, to the sin of allowing the presiding elder to officiate. The bishop treated this statement with dishonor in that he undertakes to regard it as the man that has much to investigate. He had ordered that trial be held church, notwithstanding his personal knowledge of the truth of the statements we have made and the terrible disgrace that would come upon the race should we be forced upon to the public the facts in our possession. "A son of our bishop, who was recently deposed from the position as financial agent of a Western school, is more active in directing the affairs belonging to his father's business. He has never ceded to say this much through the inhospice in the hope that the bishop will be leaf to show some regard for public opinion, and will remove from office one whom his own son can inform him is not acceptable. If forced to withdraw from the connection we have established, we must ment of our reasons. We will first set forth what we know of the bishop and his sons and the man whom he is allowing to destroy our peace, and request the Bench of Bishops to remove our present bishop. Falling in this, we will take our own course." News From Attleboro, Mass. ATTENBOURG, Mass. Aug. 14—Sunday, August 6, was a high day in the A. M. E.
