The good ship Richmond was secured by the Committee on Entertainment to carry the Business League delegates on an excursion up the Hudson on last Thursday afternoon. It was an ideal day for affording a view of New York's sky line, and the sky scrapers, as viewed from the Hudson, were the marvel of some who had never seen anything higher than a four-story brick building. Grant's Tomb was greeted with moving handkerchiefs. Blackwell's Island was pronounced by some of the Southern delegates to be good enough for a man's home, compared with Southern prisons. On passing the Statue of Liberty a delegate from Mississippi remarked that he wished it could cast its beam far enough to penetrate the Yazoo Valley. At Ellis Island it was pointed out to the delegates how hordes of European immigrants arrive monthly, whose presence in America is being keenly felt by the Afro-American. During the East Side trip the delegates were given a view of the congested districts of children by the hundreds hanging out of windows, on fire escapes and groups and in the crowded streets. The opinion was expressed by a number that whatever might be the condition of the Afro-American in the South, it is in many respects intimately better than the condition of the people. Mr. Keats, of Arkansas, remarked that he couldn't and where he couldn't sit on a wide bench with his children. The new Amsterdam orchestra furnished the music for dancing in the large dance hall and all the delegates voted on the best trip of their lives. Hon. J. E. Bush declared that it was better than the trip on the "ole Mississippi." Thursday evening's picnic given by the Central Republican club of the City of New York in honor of the delegates at New York was the finest and most reputable affair of its character in New York. All of the visiting were on hand in company with most substantial citizens of New York and Brooklyn. Over 2,000 guests in.

Speech given by Judge Torrell, and Music given by Judge Torrell, J. O. W. Clerkrist Stewart and others. One of the most interesting features of the session of the Business League of the Tuskegee Reunion spread during the evening at Sulzers, of the large number of graduates of Tuskegee Institution who have gone out into the world to become successful business men, law doctors, teachers or newspaper men. A large number from many States were invited. Mr. Gilchrist Stewart was toast-men. Reminiscences of Tuskegee days were indulged in and stories of student frolics and of jokes played by Rev. Penny, Major Ramsey and Toasts in honor of Tuskegee were given by Mr. James G. Carter of Brunswick, Ga., Walter Scott, of Savannah, Ga., R. C. Calhoun, of Florida, Mr. Stewart.

Filer of Beef, a la Washington. Potato Croquettes, Green Peas Waldorf Salad, a la Anderson. Fancy Ice Cream, a la M. J. Washington. At 11.15 p. m., Hon. Charles W. Anderson, who was toastmaster, after a witty speech, introduced Attorney J. C. Napier of Tennessee, who spoke on "The Aim and Scope of the League." He made the prediction that with the present progress of the Afro-American and a few more meetings of the League, we shall have black millionaires. Hon. J. E. Bush, whose humor has been one of the hits of the convention, spoke on "The Influence of the League," which has, in his opinion, caused us as a race to know each other the length and breadth of the country as we never did before. Mr. Charles Banks of Mississippi, spoke on "The Negro Bank and Banker," and said that his bank loans money and transacts business for both the colored and white people of his community. Attorney S. Laing Williams responded to the toast, "The Lawyer and the Business Man." He showed that the success of the lawyer depends upon that of the business man of the race. Mr. George W. Walker of Williams & Walker, whose glee club opened the evening sessions of the League and whose rendition of both the high-class and popular music, was voted by all who heard them to be the finest ever heard, responded to the toast, "The Stage as a Business," and in a witty speech told how the Afro-American is making the stage a profession and business. He said Williams & Walker, who helped the year were $28,000 dollars. He smoked an enormously that he didn't know whether the business man called that business or not. The guests then demanded Mr. Bert Williams, who after continued calls, appeared. After thanking the guests for the honor conferred, he brought down: the house by saying that if he had been left out he would have felt like—"Nobody." Dr. Sumner A. Furnigs of Indianapolis, spoke on "The Physician as a Business Man." Mr. Anderson then introduced Mr. T. Thomas Fortune as "the ablest and bravest editor of the race and as one in the newspaper world considered one of the ablest of the country." He responded to the threat of the Pioneer League. At the close of his address Editor Fortune was accorded a demonstration of applause lasting several minutes. Mr. Emmett J. Scott responded to the toast, "Five Years of Progress," in which he sketched the League's growth into the best established organization of the race. Mr. J. T. Montgomery of Mississippi responded to the toast, "The Future of the American Negro." Mr. Montgomery, as befitted the founder of a Negro town, was optimistic regarding the race's future, which he thought is assured by the emphasis which is being placed by the League on industry and commerce. Rev. J. Francis Robinson of Norwich, Conn., spoke on "A Negro's European Impressions." Rev. Robinson returned recently from the British World Congress and told of the impressions Williams & Walker made in that city; and also that a great number of the foreigners, both English and Continental, whom he met had read "Up From Slavery." Dr. Washington then spoke of the coral hospitality of New York city toward the League and its generous treatment by the metropolitan press. He also thanked the members of the League for their unabating interest in the organization. Judge Terrell was introduced by Mr. Anderson as "a real, live Negro judge." The judge made a characteristic speech, but denounced the League. He Douglas Wetmore of Jacksonville. Fl. spoke about the young Afro-American who believes in fighting for his rights by tests of Southern discrimination laws; and expressed the hope that the Afro-American Council would take steps toward testing all the "Jim Crow" laws of the South, which are all unconstitutional on the same point which disabled the Avery law of Florida, namely, that they discriminate between various classes of Afro-Americans. Hon. W. D. Crum of South Carolina, considered the successes which the League has inspired. Hon. W. D. Dace was introduced as "the man who had held all the offices in South Carolina and is now pulling every wire to remain Recorder of Deeds." He emphasized the fact that the League has cemented the race together. Dr. John R. Francis said that the Negro physician has been in at the birth and death of most race organizations, but that the League would outlive the physician. Ernest Hogan made a witty speech on "Memphis Students and What They Are Doing." He sketched the evolution of the burnt-cork comedian into the present-day Afro-American artist. He then, with his entire chorus of "Memphis Students" gave a rendition of "If Peter Had Been a Colored Man." So great was the hit that Hogan was encored five times; he responded once and then confined himself to bowing his thanks. Last, but not least, Mr. Roscoe Conkling Simmons, associate editor of the *Colored American Magazine*, bid the League farewell in the toast, "Good-bye; We Are Glad You Were Here." His remarks were humorous and eloquent, and made one of the hits of the evening. And the grand march, led by Miss Mamie Dorsey and Mr. Russell Johnson of Brooklyn, began, with Dr. and Mrs. Washington next. Dancing was enjoyed until 4 a. m., when the gathering broke up. A reception and old-fashioned barbecue were tended the League by the citizens' committee of New Jersey at Glenwood park, owned by Afro-Americanns; at Bloomfield, N. J., on last Saturday. Attorney Alfred B. Casey, the chairman of the committee, had arranged a detail for the pleasure and comfort of the delegates, who were cared for by the park and back in special rooms. Besides the delegates, were present a large concourse of Fesson county citizens. At 3 o'clock, Rev. D. J. Brown pronounced the invocation and Mr. Casey introduced the permanent chairman; James W. Vanderwall, who in a neat speech spoke of the influence of Dr. Washington An Afro-American Journal of News and Opinion. BOOKER T. WASHINGTON and the League in New Jersey: Justice J. H. E. Scotland spoke on "The War in Iraq." Akroo Turrell in New Jersey. The chairman then introduced Dr. Booker T. Washington, who was given an ovation. Dr. Washington was at his best, and impressed upon his hearers the value of optimism, particularly in the home life: of not instilling into the child the idea that life is against him, but of holding before him the example of those who have been successful despite obstacles. Some of his bright sayings were: "I should like to see the time in this country when a man going into a drug store and seeing a black face would not know by presumption whether that man was the porter or proprietor;" "the world never draws color line on production;" and "most of us want 'to start life big.' He impressed upon his audience that back of the lawyers, doctors and most of public life must always be a substantial foundation of commercial activity and wealth; and that in just the proportion that we increase along business lines will the race problem be solved. Hon. J. C. Dancy spoke on "Hope of the Negro." He was perfectly at home at an old-fashioned barbecue and even got so inspired that he told a new story. Judge Terrell spoke on the value of Glenwood park as an object lesson. Rev. Pettiford spoke of the success of his bank in Birmingham. Ex-Congressman T. C. Miller of South Carolina, spoke on value of material education. Mr. J. C. Graves, the "Potato King," spoke on the potato. Mr. Isaiah T. Montgomery disused the success of the Negro cult of material. Mr. Vandell cowrote duced Mr. Gilchrist Stewart as a graduate of Tuskegee. Mr. Stewart spoke of the ains and influences of Tuskegee and said the hope of the race is in the young man. Dr. Walters of Baltimore, and Mr. J. C. Napier of Nashville, gave the audience short intellectual treats. At the close of the speaking everybody faces and partook of the humourful barbecue.

J., August 21.—The fifth annual shareholders' meeting of the Metropolitan Mercantile and Realty company was held on Monday morning, August 21, at the New Jersey Registration and Company building at East Orange, N. J. The meeting was a pronounced success from every standpoint, especially financial, $1,000 worth of stock being sold at the close of the business. The meeting room was not spacious enough to hold comfortably the large number of shareholders present. The president's and treasurer's reports were interrupted at times with exclamations of surprise at their completeness, and the anothered surprise finally found expression in general applause when the respective officers had finished reading their reports. Notwithstanding the large number present, much time was consumed in reading the names by press of the letter from the board. Dr. William A. Creditt, D. D., of Philadelphia, chairman of the advisory board, Dr. Creditt in his letter regretted the fact that he was compelled to be absent from the meeting, but assured the officers of his willingness at any time to serve them. The gist of the two reports showed that over 50 residences had been erected; that the Metropolitan Bank in Savannah, Ga., which had been in operation one month previous to the annual meeting in 1904, and an experiment at that time, had proved its standing and filled a long and growing community that that and office-building would be established in the heart of the money-centre of the world, New York city; and that the membership had increased to nearly 30,000. Shareholders were present from Georgia, Alabama, South Carolina, New Jersey and other places. After the meeting adjourned the members marched a few blocks away from the meeting place and inspected the 60 room 12-family building and filled a large room with shelves which the company is building at a cost of $12,000. Each and everyone expressed surprise at the size and beauty of the building. DR. L. PURCE DEAD. Was President of Kentucky State University-Over 85,500 Policies Paid.

ATLANTA, Ga., August. 20.—Booker T. Washington, the Tuskegee Negro educator, has made a statement about dining with John Wanamaker's family at Saratoga. Mr. Washington says: "I have just seen for the first time the misleading and false reports in Southern newspapers referring to my escorting the female-members of Mr. Wanamaker's family into the dining room of a Saratoga. I have not referred to these reports before because they have just come to my notice. I did not escort any female member of Mr. Wanamaker's family to or out of the dining room. "I did dine with Mr. Wanamaker and members of his family at a hotel at his request for the purpose of talking on a matter of business, but at the time was a guest myself at a colored hotel in Saratoga. During the last fifteen years I have been at the hotel where Mr. Wanamaker was on three different occasions when I was to speak at public meetings, as I was at this time, and no comment was made on it. "When in the South I conform, like all colored people, to the customs of the South, but when in the North, I have found it necessary during the last twenty years, as stated fully in my book 'Ip From 'Slavery,' to come into contact with white people in the furtherance of my work in ways I do not in the South."

John Wanamaker, Mr. Robert C. Ogden and Mr. George Foster Peabody. New York, the business metropolis of the world, received the Negro business men with open-hearted hospitality. The newspapers of the city without exception gave the League sessions the most considerate attention in their news columns and discussed its purposes and achievements editorially in the most friendly and appreciative manner. Although New York seems at times almost Southern in its prejudices, the Business League delegates, universally commented on the politeness and cordiality of white keepers of restaurants and other places of public accommodation, and of all of the white public with whom they came in contact. The seventh session of the League, in 1803, will be held in Atlanta, Ga. Bias for the next meeting were entered by Columbus, O., Topeka, Kan., and Atlanta, and were, in each instance, strongly reinforced by invitations from the respectable and municipal authorities and business interests.

On Friday morning the following resolutions were reported by the committee on resolutions: To the President and Members of the National Negro Business League: We have committee on resolutions beg leave to make further resolutions. 1. We have pleasure in stating that has been a great and appreciable increase in the organization of local leagues and in the interest among the people of all the states in the National Organization during the past year. 2. We earnestly recommend that Negroes in all of the States organize local leagues for the stimulation of business enterprises and the best and highest influence with the best and highest identities municipalities where they reside. One successful business effort controlled by Negroes often goes far in securing our rights and pressing the perpetration upon us of winnings often starts in the form of suits or combinations of individuals which all too common, and which throw a damper upon business stability and development. 3. We desire to emphasize the fact that the State will ultimately succeed in business often starts with small plings. Some of the most magnificent fortunes in the Republic have had their foundations in this way; and we direct attention, for inspiration of Negroes everywhere, to the success which has been achieved in this way by the foreigner. We have come among us and become a part of our National citizenship and uplift. 4. We direct attention, and wish to emphasize to the large acreage of unoccupied land in the South and especially in the Southern States, and recommend that Negroes everywhere bend every effort to secure a share of it before it has been preempted. Ownership of the lands and commands respect and deference which attach no other class of property. It is a fact that a man own the soil own those who must occupy it and utilize it and dominate and control their conduct. 5. We recommend to Negroes in all the States the fact everywhere that the success and respect of neighbors is based upon tireless labor and judicious economy in living. 6. We direct attention to the fact that one organization can cover all the various interests of the New York area we urge again that the Business League adhere to its basic objects and refuse to become entangled in other organizations with foreign to business affairs. We propose to the citizens of New York for the uniting of which in all of their incompetence life and property, they have extended to the National Margo Business League, an organization of businessmen in New York. T. Thomas Purtum, chairman, New Jersey, J. W. Moss, Georgia, John S. Francis, District of Columbia, Chelsea, New York. Of great interest during the Thursday morning session was the paper of Mr. D. Macon; Webster of Brooklyn, on The Negro Business Interests of Greater New York and Victinity." New York being the dumping ground of immigrants, is the city where the Afro-American meets the market. Where the black workforce of civilization and consequent slowness of wants can them to live on 30 cents a day. Yet, though the Afro-American has been ousted by the aliens from certain unskilled occupations, his success in business has been progressively contrasted with the contrast between New York Afro-American business men in 1848 and in 1906. He said: I held in my hand the business directory of the city of New York for the "year ahead," and I had in business one bootmaker, two tailors, one wigmaker and hair dreser, three caterer, three restauranters and one doctor of medicine. To-day we are engaged in fifty-one separate and distinct business requires our attention law, medicine, and medicine, and in all of them we are making money and success. With them we are giving employment to Negro men in avenues hitherto closed to our people. Of these fifty-one enterprises we have caught the spirit of the time and are interested in the information $1,500,000. Of the unincorporated interests much can be said, but I shall have to describe a list, and leave the details to others. The number of persons engaged in the various occupations follows: Grocery stores, 2; restaurants, 2; where food and liquors are sold, e.g., house cleaning, 2; printing, 10; furniture stores, 3; liquor stores, 70; employment agencies, 4; hardware manufacturers, lighters, 4; blacksmiths, palaters, carpenters, news, stands, 7; bleotblack stands, 2; hat cleaning, 1; newspaper publishers, 2; drawers and truckers, 12; restaurants, 40; caterers, 7; undertakers, 10; manufacturers of specialties, such as tool handles, 10; hairdressing and wig-making, 10; dressmaking, 100; millinery stores, 2; musicians and bands, 2; coat and wood barbers shops, 25; bushwalkers and cleaners, 2; typewriting and stenography, 14; insurance agencies and real estate agencies, 12; construction builders, garages and repairers, packer and shipper, 1; publications, Trim New York Ask, the oldest of the race journals.

Besides the only opera house in Sullivan, Bass owns and conducts two larger shops, the Basson Brewery, the Basson Brewery, feed and sales stable. He and his associates own a brick hotel of 25 rooms and in addition own 12 dwellings. But, host of all, this enthralling Afro-American, manufactures the Bassonian British Luster. "I now take great pleasure," said he in concluding a lengthy talk about the Bassonian League the Bassonian British Luster which I warrant to coordinate both dandruff and baldness: The program for Thursday evening, as published in last week's Act, was carried out with some shifting of the numbers. The main feature were the addresses of the publishers, Dr. J. W. Brown, and Dr. J. W. Cairn, and the papers of Mrs. Cairn W. Clifford on "A Colored Woman's Thirty Years' Business Experience" of Prof. H. T. Keating, the writer editor of the J. M. I.

I had with no capital, so I began to preside at the time of the first visit to the city. I had been for two years, nothing else, but the time of the first visit to the city. I think the Philadelphia. The first effect was to build a rental list. I began a convass of the worst property in the city, property that knew was not going to be the most important. It was not the capital of the area condition, was not not following much attention from the agents who were handling it. I called on the owner to help us to find out the fact that they would be in the way I had to pay. I kept after then so persistently that I believe that I got tired of being so good. I was still here to see the business that was still an important part of the business. I succeeded in constituting a prominent white firm, and they started the business. But when I was in the city, the own gave me another. I got up a series of follow-up letters and would be in a review. I was not as a refer, making a general list, and, house by house, my property was the only one to grow until now, out of the list. I was confirmed to grow until I have the second largest rental list. I was over the second most-selling property for 125 people. I can say safety that a conservative validation of the property on my life would be the best way to get a million dollars. I felt very sure of the results. I was quite belong to, while people took their property out with a new way. I was very much excited to find the land, who were in my hands purely as a matter of business. I make their property pay better than the white agents. I advise boldly to start any amalgamation, and I can get a good deal of money from ten-month property and when I get it on my list I simply trusts that it is an important business. I am doing business in my own building, a good time to build and sell. I am a well-funded and exiledaligned and my facilities just as good for building business as any in the city. I am not allowed to be so far away as I have been allowed a note to go to protect or overturn bank. Mr. Brown claims to have sold in 1904 $100,000 worth of real estate. over R S16. Mrs. Blissard, after despatching the subject of her paper, declared her intention of discussing the Negro problem, and gave some very good advice. She said in part: Whatsoever a man soweth that shall be also reap. If the white man soweth and reap, and if the black man soweth and reap, you may be sure he will reap a beautiful harvest of them. And now I am going to give you a knowledge about the Negro. I know we will reap this to give any advice we will, but I am going to do it, anyway. Many theories have been advanced, among them segregation, amalgamation, eration, but the only way is, by itself. Enquilp yourself like me: Say to yourself, "I can accomplish anything if I am willing to pay the price. You must be willing to pay the price. I want anything you can. Get all the money you can.

It is the 1 and the 1, and the 1, what each one of us will do to make us more successful in our opportunity, as our own intelligence, our own character, our own energy, may serve to make our personal development.

But I have wandered a long way from the simple personal thoughts that I wanted to express to my great friend who has something to say to you that is better than anything I have to say, but I want all of the Afro-American men to be treated, to be treated, to that other men have and I almost tempted to say some very personal things. If there anything I do deserve by his name, I do deserve by his name. Graceley and appointee in the audience say, Say it if it is.

What it was to work for Sam a work and have experience on my earnings. There is one certain element that we all have above all that work persistently and consistently all the time. Mr George W. Childs, Mr. Washington know him very well, and put him in the context to this work. Childs, the son of the Public Agents, said to me one day. "Have you any moves by which you work? I replied, 'Yes! I have a few.' What are they? Well, I said to things, 'You have to be prepared to move the house. Next, you must be laid, if you don't sell a claim. That person you must advertise the Public License. The same to you, if you have your hands full of traps." You must keep on all the time no matter what it is done. You must keep up your work, your patience, your patience, your patience, and with patience and with hope we all have had, or we shall have had, or we shall have had, and in this closing word to the beginning of what I tried to say, that although the limitations of this world have no limits, and though you have a great many friends who are sympathetic with you in such quiet ways as they can, there is no position in the food upon which prejudice feels. Kindness and patience and sound common sense will win in the long run, and although there are many sympathetic friends in that ways that are not known are still path smoother, yet out of it all the intelligent colored man of America, measured by the Dylan standard, has the greatest capacity, usefulness that lies before any American. The feature of Friday morning's meet- ing, which was prognounced by many to be the best heard during the sessions. It was notable for its sincerity but not maddish sympathy with the aspirations of the Afro-American people, and for the sanity and kindness of its advice. The address follows in full: Mr. President: You do me great honor with the introduction you have given. Expect an address. I came to make a visit, to see what kind of people were the coming business men of the country. The best time that America has ever had. You are beginning with great friendships and great hopes for your success. You are at a moment of watching closely every step you take to measure your capacity for citizenship and for a right to the place that you claim to walk along in the conduct of business with The very existence of this Business League bears upon its face an indictment by favoritism by sympathy. You cannot afford to stop for a single minute in longing to become the hero of the nation. You cannot be the hero of the war, to be considered because of any handcaps that you may feel to be upon you. You cannot be dependent upon politics to make successful homes and successful businesses has been a disappointment. (Apause). The war that has been carried has been exploded. (Apause). You are like the man that was kicked by a mule. You were not quite so handsome and you have learned a great deal. (Laughter.) I am not going to attempt. In the few minutes which your courtesy gives me, Mr. President, to speak to you about questions that you know much more about than I can tell you. But I am going to voice the deep conviction of my heart, that it is not the success or failure, it is not a matter of race, it is got a matter of face, or a matter of place; it is a matter of grace. And the same grace of God that has given the white man a sense of what education does for him, of what character does for him, of what truth and honor does for him, that grace is as much yours as if by some inelide while I speak to you your faces were turned white. The good God is the other of my all Long appliance You have his grace and you can form it off as with the lesson I can turn off the Lights that are banded. So can I: I remember very well when Philadephonic handwriting is being done to bring people sidelines to the next month. There's very much to be done for business where a report in any place of business will be addressed. We have a lot of Ph.D. and Ph.D. X-ray images in the following year, and more others, where names and handwriting are being done. Age and time have changed the same in every day, and those of business now colored to the way of them are too their businesses. So, as I told them, the hold such a question in theory that as I said before, the city was found of them. There were should not have been their business; and as an all business man am an speaking the first. The Std. The Gerontics and others who were American white men, did that same business better than their did. It. There's no hard nor the best thing to do with the reporting. You want names and positions. I am afraid they're to you in public. For I am afraid that I should seek too long to continue (Voices): I have learned in great that from colored me to Thes were my early friends. What I had the attention of seeing Mr. was going to the Philadelphia. I felt quite inconce in being at you. Some one handed me a card to know already I had a printed speech.

And I have talked to him about my business and he colored man when he remained in a colored man when I was a boy— country boy (Applause). I remember him when I came bringing a book to me one day that was the name of the book was "Robinson Crimson" and as far as I can recall, that was the first book that man ever gave to me. I remember a man from a man whose hand was black but whose heart was white (Applause). But I have learned something else besides a lot of gratitude, which indeed I bought a little fringe compared with the old old There was a very fine old collar woman in Philadelphia that I thought a great grandmother and she didn't enough to be my grandmother, and she didn't enough to be my grandmother with me. (laughter) Her hair was kinks, her bonnet was old fashioned, an old fashioned mackerel bonnet and I remembered most pinch caps were very fashionable in Philadelphia; they had just learnt to help kind of deal skin and old hair to the right of the head, where they were putting down her work, she was very much in care not having a cap. And so she had no trouble in getting them to the number of scrap pieces of the tools and the clothing she saw children from several houses, she made a nesting little case. (Applause) It was not the most beautiful come in the world but she was always a little bit more than was passing along Eighth street one day; she was always very welcome at my mother's house and she told me of a certain friend some people on the street she heard some people on the street she behind her. They seemed to be finding a great deal of announcement out of her new girl.

This is an old New York story though I have thought it is the same thing that I have said, and I become a good and that is all you do, you will have spent your time for nothing, on the other hand. If you take to heart the encouragement of the people, you'll go going on a road to follow. If you will get up, walk on and do something, do it for yourself and not expect some one else to do it for you, you'll go back to the world. I am so good to you should be discongrated. I Applase I am not saying that you are discongrated, you don't look as if you were. You have a great time to do your work, so you believe for myself that I would ever mark a man down (no, I won't say that, for you might not understand what I mean: when I see him, I will go to the world as a Negro lawyer, or a Negro procheter, or a Negro lawyer. The question is, does he understand law? I am a properly somewhat, a thoughtful? If you do, I think the question should be, "Does it make good bread?" "Applase, you," he began. "There are the questions (On a plan.) I think it is rather a disadvantage for a man to be simply known as a very smart man or very smartman, and I've been to see very thorough man and if he means to succeed, to do it along the lines of the thousands of splendid men that have made New York a great man, I think I am a great man. It is the greatest city in the world for commerce today, the greatest for finance, the greatest for enterprise. Yet you look at the great man's great business, and you know the business is in Wall Street and throughout this whole city, you will find that they were built upon very small foundations but very small. I am a great man, and I am a great man for the coldest people and also some of the coldest people (Philadelphia) do on the two sides of theடுkao's edge. On the two sides of theடுkao's edge, I am not sure how to have some on hour and half behind time with some exercise for the non performance of some duty; they were men who made their names to count for something and they made the expreys the same thing. And In a conclusion I remember since you can like an illustration and remember it, that when I am in the house, you should be a should of father and the child. So, if you are a child, the mother is good by always does that and they are blessing them. And if you are a child, it is good to be a mother and a friend who has the right to help after two or three years wanted to be married,岑当： she was very old and the little boy has a very good time to be a father. He has a little while he is the back. It is a little while he is the back and they could not talk her out of it. The thing said to her: Now, if you don't know that you are ever able to do it, you would not be to do something you don't know. But you can't see so well, you are getting old too. " Well, I am a child, I am a child, I am a child. I am a child. I am a child. I am a child. Then they said. Mother is so are building a new barn and next Tuesday we are going to put up a weather report on the barn. It's Sunrise you put off the walling until it is a cold and the cook up and then if you can see the weatherock on the barn we will make no other decision to make good. I am married. And so they get it up to the follow-up week, and they brought the old lady out. She looked and looked and they said: " Well, I like the weathercock the ball is the barn, I like a daughter. Now try to see the barn; keep your eye on the main thing. You can't believe you can't write me. You can't write me. You can't believe me. You can't write me. You can't write me.

And if you are content simply to work for board and leading and a small one at that don't go to school, don't go to a company for a newspaper; but if you are not content, if you realize that there is a man inside of you and that the world does not touch to touch to add to his population as it does to touch to add to his population, man, making the man more of a man and making him more useful as the days go on you will do that we will strike him and make him the greatest country. It is that already; there is no such king as our president (Lloyd and long applause); in the past he is a thousand churches under him (Here Mr. Wannamaker tanned himself on the crown of the head); (Long applause) and great man that believes that and gives that to a shaker in the destiny of our country and in its coming glory; (Lloyd and long applause). A most dramatic and thrilling paper was that of Mr. S. Loring Williams of Chicago, on "The Chicago Strike and New Abolition." He paid a tribute to the strike nerve in covering the strikers whose against strike-breakers was in this race infuriated byrage prejudice. He said in part: The employment of free and non-union Negro labor to fight union labor in labor strikes and lockout has become so frequent that the general condition that some strike of the union by our business man is both timely and necessary. In the recent committee's strike in the city of Chicago the employment of several hundred teamsters in that strike brought the union teamsters so prominently to the front as to challenge the attention of the whole economic world.

The strike lasted from April 7 to July 21, or fifteen weeks. The number of men discharged from the strike was over 100,000, the number of injured 135. The killed and wounded due to violence numbered 420, and the number of arrests nearly 1,000. The amount of wages lost was $100,000. The business lost to the 125 firms and to the city generally is almost too large to be estimated. The total number of strikebreakers brought into the city and kept there during the strike was about 6,000. During all of these weeks of violent struggle for supremacy by the employers and the strike organizers, the other as criminals and so on. The passion to win out at all hazards was supreme. In other words, this labor contest in Chicago just closed was a sign of general Sherman's definition of war. It was under these conditions, then in an atmosphere surcharged with passion and crime that the Negro was introduced as a result of his own action, and he was now treated with a storm of worstness, and he was greeted with a storm of resistance and angry protest that required him to persevere to withstand. It is impossible to think of the epithets of the man and pursued these black men who came to work in the places of those who refused to work. They were charmed with all words of reign which they never committed to the thought of committing it to the heart of the what your occupation was, your color was a matter of suspicion, and raised the presumption that you were against the law. The black men were�opcal to believe that the public was made to believe that "The Negroes were being shipped into Chicago by the thousands and that they all over the South, that they were indeed to come to false promises. And were armed with arms to shoot down union men. The fact that the black men were imposed in a strife breaker's 600 only were recorded. These are the most common and most often known. The only St. Louis and Kansas City, both of the United States, informed us to join the black men. The group of the world-classحركشكس and the St. Louis and Kansas City, the most popular and a lodging place. The first of these black men, when they reached Chicago and which they were there, proved they were the only men who had not, and had a good use of them reached in age at last was made of their strength that he was one of the least sustainable. The most important is that the black men were in the state of an American city. Surely it to say that after this demonstration of manliness the cry that the Negro himself to be a man of iron. A clause of praise went up from all sides. Not only as strike breakers did the Negro play a commanding role in the police officers, the Chicago flirted to encroll a large body of men in the uniform and special officers there were colored men. This enrollment of colored men provoked the usual question: Do they do their duty, as other officers of the law, we heard no more against unjust police men. They proved themselves capable of black and white criminals with a firm hand. Opinion in Chicago, both among the white and colored people, is somewhat divided as to the effect of these imported Negroes believing that race prejudice has been intensified, and that the negro as a inferior is worse off offer the strike than before. As to the tone of the protest at present in Chicago show an increase of prejudice. In force of the greatest strike of recent years in Chicago the Negro was struck the majority of the men brought to Chicago desired to return to their homes, and have gone home, but I understand that those who were personally complained that we are used as strike breakers and then turned adrift, that is one of the lilies that result from our own workings, should be precluded. How can we take advantage of this increased appreciation of our worth as workmen? I do not feel competent to formulate any program of action in this matter, but I should be organized labor should receive special study from too late to begin.

With individual civil and political rights is univer- al and these exceptional cases are, above other too rare—they are, in the annals visits, few and far be. This is the attitude of the South manner of doubt. This is continuance of the disfranchisement Negro in every Southern State by of revised constitutions and by courts just as effective. This is continuance of the universal "Jim Court." This is the significance of the administration of laws, good on of them, wherever the rights of Negro collide with the interests of white man. This is the civil sig- ificance of the prevalence of lynch-law society of the supremacy of the mob Southern courts and over all the Southern State, county and goverments, wherever the life of a Negro end sought by any Southern white man. is no jail strong enough to re- ceive of such a mob, and with victations there has been found a jailer or governor with a sense of law and order streng enough the fury of such a mob or to its excesses after they have been banned. There are again with mighty victations any courts swift enough work of indictment and trial of the accused of crimes such as mur- dering the police, the use of like assault and battery or of no at all in the eye even of South- like criticism of unjust condi- tor of being impudent to some South-white man, to satisfy the gav- er of a Southern mob. The life of Nero accused or merely suspected in cases has alone power to sarc- wild-beast thirst of a Southern blood. And so the vietnames are haste and murdered with ti- gerity, leaving to the future the proving their guilt or in- nature of the crime he in their guilt, public sentiment ther- est in the imminent sense of ju- thern mob, and if on the the verdict he in favor of their public opinion still plumes it- sagacity in the Southern mob, that the only good Negro is a N courts themselves are rotten with this sentiment of caste. The judges and the juries with exceptions are incapable of to the Negro even-handed justice, white man has sued or been convicted. The Negro knows before him the law, and compels him. If he be defendant the judgment will almost invariety for the plaintiff, and, vice versa, shall itself in the action the verdict judgment will be all the same for the defendant. It is in those courts the rule that heads the white litigant and tells the black litigant loses, there is no help, for it since the man makes the laws, interprets the executes the laws, and does so, aliquot, with the rights and interests as opposed to of the black man, fundamental justice, man and man to the contrary, never stealing. Some men would rather be sentient before a tribunal in hell than be called before one of those ordiances where color melts no ice, would have a fighting chance, would have no fighting chance, would place where color cuts it is ever between unitties.

This inequality before the law there is known by sad experience and people of all sorts and conditions. It is well known by white people all sorts and conditions. The majority of those white people do and seek by every means in their violent or peaceable, to maintain perpetuum between the races. A majority of them admit that the state coined by such rank injustice fundamentally bad but that there is for it if the two races are to cooperate in the operation of superior war. If blacks get in the courts in litigation with this small minority of white men there would in time grow up economic, industrial, civil would ultimately disturb the existing relationship between the And were this over to happen the of evil to the white race too dire to contemplate with it. Therefore in a choice of small minority flatters itself is chosen the lesser of two, viz. size of the Negro on the altar white man's innate race superiority the black man's innate race inferiority they ought to steak out, excuse they ought to cry out against the with all their might and with no voice. now and then some exceptional sorrow white man speaks out against strong which the South does the Ne- skeats out against it in the spirit of Hebrew prophets and with no certain sound. When such men raise voices the country stops to listen. the country once heard the truth to the barbarism of the South the lines of the Rev. Quincy A. Bourg and from the pen of Alfred Sadd the pages of the Atlanta Monthly. Again the South has not the nightwight of talk from Blaise Spencer and Cal- lery from Rev Dr. Bradley of At- la Ga. These men are clearly what trouble is in the South, the cause which at the bottom of all of the race trouble between the news in that section. Louthern colorado which device their own, and the other, the most important and the most important of the three, is the social moral character of the man and woman. It is that man and woman are similar which makes them absolutely that because he is what he is, i.e. black, therefore he has the reason alone inferior to somebody who happens to be white. It is that public which is universal, which sets up color, difference of race, as an everlasting wall of partition to separate forever the two races in the South. It is that barbarous public opinion which holds without shadow of turning, the injurious doctrine as gospel truth that the lowest and most worthy of the whites are better, superior socially and intellectually and useful of the blacks merely because of the first class are white, merely because those of the second class are black. Color, race, is the sole standard set up by the South to measure the difference between its two races. It is not morality, intelligence, wealth, industry, thrift, it is not even religion. Through the millions of its population there runs this dark wall separating not its human sheep from its human goats regardless of race and color. But dividing the white masses from the black masses, calling all of the white masses sheep not because they are white, and dividing them accordingly, and all of the black masses goats not because they are white goats and treating them as such under its civil, social, political, industrial and religious codes.

Regular Correspondence of The Ame. CHICAGO, August-21. A woman of some prominence in the East and a reader of The Ame. has written to your correspondent urging her not to go too far in the "tragies" on the race question. While your correspondent was not directly accused of "high tragedy" is her letters to TU. Ace she evidently thinks that there is some danger that she may become overwrought in discussing the race question. In other words, the lady in question gives a timely warning against what may be called a race-phobia. Do we talk too much about ourselves? Certain it is that if as individuals, we should discuss ourselves and our affairs as continuously in season or out of season as we discuss ourselves as a race, we should be accused of all sorts of bad taste and we should not be tolerated. It is true we have much to talk about, and that not always of our own snarking. Every day brings forth something new and startling. Whenever and wherever two or three of us are gathered together, after we have exhausted ourselves in the discussion of the weather, then we pitch into the prize question. This is about the only thing each colored man and woman knows all about. Everybody knows just what the trouble and how they are dealing with the prize problem habit to such an extent that nothing else seems interesting and worth talking about. The young man fresh from college, where his mind has been absorbed with other times, loses interest in large academic matters, as soon as he reaches the rare problem. It is getting so now that wherever others people come together in the name of culture for the discussion of high themes, they easily and quickly drift from the theories of the scholar to the facts and facets of the rare problem. It is the beginning and end of all of our philosophy. We draw upon it to illustrate every kind of truth or falsehood. We cannot long discuss Milton without ending in Dunkar. If we graze with an appropriate sense of the beautiful, on Raphael's Madonna, we will seriously leave the subject we want to write in. Our art does not the world of art a black Madonna. If we attempt to discuss the war between Russia and Japan it must be in terms of color. Though by virtue of our long residence we are more thoroughly Americans than anybody else, yet we insist that we are only colored or Afro-American. Indeed, it is to be feared that we do a great deal of "Jim Crowing" ourselves. We would not suffer胖 so much, if we could become less meanly conscious of our color. We help to discredit our color by everlastingly talking about it, and speculating on it, and its meanly consequences. If we could be governed by the feeling that before man made us colored people: great nature made us men and women. The less we think of our color the less we will be reminded of it and suffer from the consequences of it. It is an important fact that every day our people are becoming more and more interesting. We are doing many creditable things to-day that we scarcely dreamed of doing twenty years ago. Progress with us has a wide sweep and reveals the soul of a race restless, aspiring and confident. "Let us dwell on these things." The contest of white versus colored seems interminable. It is belittling, it stifles aspiration; it is a killer of pride. We are everything through a smoked glass. If we do not to be shut out from the joys and brightness of life. If we cannot have all the actual joys that other people have, let us make the most of those that we do have and reach others through the wings of imagination. We must save ourselves from becoming permanently color blind. Mr. Charles Johnson, the blind organist and music teacher of the city, assembled his friends and fellow musicians the other day by the result of a competitive examination for the position of piano tuner for the public schools of this city. He entered the examination handicapped by the fact of his total blindness. His friends dreamed him foolish in attempting to do what seemed an impossible. The position押伞 a salary of $120 per annum. At the close of the contract, it was discovered that he alone was unaccomplished and the position was awarded him without question.

If it had been a case of loreay or other crime much promiscuity would have been made on his color. In addition to his cleverness as a musician, he is able to a wonder on account of his ability to note about the city and attend to his duty without assistance. He is able to and his own home, the residences of his friends, and the various school buildings in which he performs his duty without a guide. It is with some feeling of humiliation that I make note of the fact that a colorful preacher, who uses the earlstone as his pulpit, came very near being lynched by his own people last Wednesday evening. This peripatetic preacher belongs to the Dowie species and like his ardent master he allowed his religious zeal to overcome his disdain of speech, if he ever had any. In this particular sermon on this particular occasion he immediately assigned all of his Baptist and Methodist listeners to the place that Robert Ingersoll took over for death. These brothers and sisters of the orthodox faith not only refused on this hot August night to go where this obsequent black Dowie had told them to, but they took violent exception to his language in other ways that proved dramatic and riotous. They proceeded to obtain a rope, made an old-fashioned noose and went after this bothersome dark preacher in a way that was worthy of Mississippi experts. The rope was thrown about his neck and the necursed Methodists and Baptists proceeded to haul him about, as in search of a lamp post, or tortured for him, the policeman, the cloak and the save him from further violence. It was a most humiliating position for the Zion evangelist, but he will never, never again stir up these Methodist and Baptist brothers and sisters by threats of the unimaginable terror. I believe that it is true that China has the only real fraternal insurance association in the country incorporated and managed wholly by colored people. This association has been doing business in Chicago for five years since 1900. By its charge it is authorized to issue insurance certificates from $241 to $1000. It also provides and has paid on large amounts of insurance. The rates of payment or premiums about the same as those that obtain in such orders as the Royal Aramum and the Foresters. It is modelled on the best plan of the best orders in the world. A peculiar thing about all the fraternal orders in the United States is that the first words in all their constitutions limit membership to white people. The order referred to bears the name of the United Brotherhood. It has successfully paid all death claims for which it has been可信. The work of the association has been managed, developed and carried on by some of the lost citizens of the city of New York, and by enabling our people to escape the expatriate rates of premium that they are compelled to pay for insurance protection in the insurance associations that condeclendingly issue policies of insurance to people of African descent. The principle upon which the United Brotherhood is established is capable of enlargement and may, if the colored people give it proper support, become one of the most important financial associations managed by colored people in the country. Great Demand for Them in the North and South. Throughout the South, and in many of our Northern cities, colored people are discriminated against in the dispensing of soda water and other refreshing drinks that help to make the hot days endurable. As a result of such exclusion a number of water-supply companies and young women, have educated themselves as first-class pharmacists and have opened up to date drug stores, which reflect credit not only upon themselves but also upon their To young men about to enter the professional field, it might be well to emphasize the great demand for first-class colored pharmacists, such as are yearly granted by the College. The secretary of this college is flooded each week with letters from all parts of the country asking him to supply this or that city with a druggist. Good men receive high salaries, as most of the people in the city are Pharmacist gentle. College are either proprietors of drug stores or already hold well-paying positions. In fact, no anxions are the colored people in the cities of the South for drug stores of their own that the only ability to pass the State board examination, as the following letter, which is one of the many received, will show: "Your dear friend: Can you recommend a first-class colored druggist from Howard who is willing to pass the State board examination and become a drug store? He must not have any capital. Respectfully yours, W. H." KINK-INE SOAP A product of perfect purity, prepared expressly for use in connection with Kink-ine. It contains the highest medical qualities.

As a whole it is a strong, righteous, wise, and timely discussion of one of the most vitally important sociological problems that confront the American people.” The Boston Transcript:“Dr. Sinelnir has written of the citizenship of the Negro not only as he sees and feels it, but as it appears from the point of view of history.” The Louis Globe-Democrat:“It is a work that is remarkable vitality. The book is timely, ardent, and fairly written, and should prove of interest to the readers of both races concerned. The Columbia (S.C.) State:“The book presents a real value. * * * It is, perhaps, the fullest and best expression of the point of view of a Negro that has been published.” The Cincinnati Times-Star:“As a work of reference the broad scope of the book makes it valuable.” The Army and Navy Journal: "Dr. Sinclair discusses uncertainties but calmly and with frankness, intelligence and philosophic spirit the essential elements of what is commonly termed 'the Negro question.' He is fair and plainspoken in his plea in behalf of his men, which he contends, is entitled to a larger measure of justice, sympathy and encouragement than it has yet received, and he makes out a case which reasonable men will recognize as deserving."

ThelBusiness League Meeting. The]Business League Meeting. The meeting of the National Negro Business League in New York last week was not only the strongest and best of the six meetings which has been held, but, as to time and place, by far the most important and helpful. The high character of the delegates, the singleness of business purpose present in their speech and conduct, the harmony that ran through all of the proceedings of the convention, and the elaborateness and completeness of all of the arrangements made for the entertainment and comfort of "the strangers within the gates" of New York, were features of the meeting which will make it a memorable one. But, over and above all of this, the addresses of Mr. Oswald Garrison Villard, Mr. Robert C. Ogden and Hon. John Wanamaker would have made any convention of Americans, without regard to ethnic classification, memorable. The generous treatment of the all powerful press of New York, as well as the open hospitality of the citizens left nothing to be desired. Everywhere the delegates went in search of comfort or amusement they found a ready welcome. With a membership in the National organization of three hundred and fifty, representing local leagues in all parts of the Republic, the league character of the work of the League during the past six years will be apparent to all of its well-wishers as well as the army of ravens who see and croak failure in every effort made in an organized way to lift the Afro-American people to a higher and nobler manhood and citizenship. The League has been justified by results for the creation and work of it. The South Would Crush Personal Rights. Last year Southern politicians and newspapers tried to defeat President Roosevelt's election by accusing him before the Nation of the behious crime of practicing "social equality." As Tutt Act printed out at the time, the Roosevelt Washington dinner became, by the elimination of every other issue, the onew point of difference between the Republican and Democratic parties. All know the result. The White South, hypnotized by the phrase "social equality," voted for Parker; while the North, where the minds of men are less weak and servile, endorsed Mr. Roosevelt's courtesy to Dr. Washington by electing him President by mountainous majorities. The white South was so dismayed by this defeat that there was in some quarters of Dixie talk even of secession from the Union. It was hoped, however, that, after the first spasms of despair, the South would at last perceive its sily impudence in melding in the private affairs of other people. But this home was vain. On August 14 Hon. Jann Wannaker, a Postmaster-General, and his family entertained Dr. Washington at dinner in the United States Hotel at Saratoga. As a bull loses his senses at the sight of a red rag, or as Editor Trotter automatically froths at the month when Tuskegee is mentioned, so the white South was insensately enraged by Mr. Wannaker's act. A fair idea of the South's temporary insanity is afforded by these ludicrous childish ravings of the Nashville Banner: Mr. John Wannamaker's performance at the United States Hotel in Saratoga yesterday was one of the most representable and obnoxious exhibitions of race social equality that has ever occurred in this country. It went far beyond the Roosevelt-Washington episode, which caused so much general caste comment, and, in its public parade of defiance to established custom, was a more serious offense to public sentiment, and especially to Southern of right and propriety. While Wannamaker's doubtless a thoughtless竣 upon the part of the President that we invested more or less with an official aspect and was intended to the private, but Mr. Wannamaker's exploit seems to have been a premeditated show of social equality, which involved the women of his family and placed them and the Negro guest on the same social plane, with all that that may imply. He chose as the scene of his social innovation age of the most prominent and mobilizable hotels at one of the most desirable public resorts of the country, where he knew it would be reasonably certain that the incarceration would be heaped all over the country, and that the fact that his daughter had accepted the personal escort and social companionship of a Negro would be generally commented upon. The Bannor's fury was probably not amused by the telegram which Dr. Washington despatched to the Atlantic Constitution and in which he stood pat. After denying the unessential falshood that he escorted Mr. Wanamaker's daughter to the dining room, he affirmed that he dined with Mr. Wanamaker and his family on the occasion referred to and defended his right to do so, with the implication that he would repeat the act in the future whenever the interests of his work should require it. This should be a wholesome rebuke indeed. Will the white South ever learn that its meddling in other people's private affairs is the most vulgar impertinence? And that its mad opposition in the abstract to what it calls "social equality" and its widespread practice at the same time of concubinage with Afro-American women constitute an inconsistency of the most hypocritical nature? We hope so, but the hope is desperate. That the press and people of the North and West will rebuke this newest effort of the white press and people of the South to dictate the personal conduct of people like John "Wanamaker and Booker T. Washington, goes without saying. National Council Meeting. The indications all point to a large attendance of thoughtful men of the race at Detroit, August 30, when the National Afro-American Council will meet in annual convention. The work of the Council has been creditable to itself and helpful to the race. The men composing its membership have been high-minded, unselfish and self-sacrificing in their work, and with such means as they could command they have done what was possible to protect the civic interests of the race by legal process and by the manufacture of healthy public opinion. There is every good reason why the work of the Council should be continued and that to that end the Detroit convention should be attended, as in the past, by the strongest and best men and women of the race. The pressing need of a representative gathering at Detroit will not be questioned by any one who has the interests of the race at heart. --- The Chinese are still working the best successfully on American manufactures and threaten to keep it up until the rigors of the American act are tempered somewhat with justice. --- If William Calvin Chase of the Washington Bee does not wish to be regarded as a big blah he should squirt some salty info into his postcard. In many cases who are striving to do things. --- The German Emperor has been forced off the center of the stage of world politics by the superior genius of President Theodore Roosevelt. Don't worry about the dollar—it is big enough and strong enough to take care of itself; but look after the penns—it is small and weak and needs tender nursing. The Negro Business League has become such a factor for race inspiration and uplift as to put to shame those who predicted that it was born to die. We wonder if General Linnewitch has prevailed as many bases of retreat as General Kruppell had all the time in easy reach? Don't work for wages; make a business of your own and pay wages to others. 1. (a) The graph of a function $f(x)$ is shown. Find the value of $f(3)$. Some Heights of Civilization He Has Not Yet Sealed From the American Eagle A number of artists and writers of recent date have been attempting to place the Negro before the world as a something just allowed to exist for the sake of charity or tenuity and not for his value at all. This seems to us void of reason and an indication that he creation-hits with the animal that hides more emotion in the days of that grafting people. How in the name of reason and common sense the Negro is to be isolated and set apart from the white race is a puzzle to us and the attempt to make him a sort of foreign "anything" is yet beyond our comprehension. Of course we admit that we are not so wise. We have not reached that stage of wisdom and of nerve that would give us the effrontery to take a million or two and still be Christians; or that other high state of civilization that would enable us to indulge in spasms of hilarity and call our wives and mothers to see a human being burned at the stake and to cut off pieces of his flesh as souvenirs. Nor have we get seconded that other apex of humanitarianism and chivalry that would enable us to split in the face of an innocent take as a Southern white cap did to a Negro baby in the State of Tennessee a few weeks back.

R. L. B. Christmas and New Year Celebrations in Venezuela-Twitter and From Padding Representative-A Bald-Sight in Which No Injury Was Done Save to the Problems of the Bolivia. The religions festivities incident to the celebration of Christmas or a Navidad as it is styling in Spanish, began as early as December 8 with the observance of La Immaculada Conception de Nuestra Senora, followed by the Miss de Aginalo do commencing on the 16th, which consisted of earlgmass at between 4 and 5 o'clock in the morning. This was continued daily until the day before Christmas, or Noche Buena, when there was also high mass at midnight. Before, during and after each service there were the reports of fireworks, sufficient to arouse the whole town. Frequently a hand of music would be stationed outside the church and add to the din by playing National airs with great vigor. In the most portion of the service in the interior, the customers were introduced with a peculiar effect. The congregation consisted mostly of women seated or kneeling in the centre of the church while the men were standing around the sides and down the steps. With a large contingent on the outside, the members of the group were then till a or a shawl over the head and while many remained bowed over the backs of their praying chairs deep in their devotions, others gazed around smiling and chatting. With few exceptions, the congregation gave evidence in the complexion of its members of Indian and African origin, the paving wint being yellowish brown. While the turkey or parrot plays a part in the Christmas feast, the National dish in hallacne, a comestible combining the chicken and turkey, is only on a more elaborate menu with a greater variety of ingredients. For days beforehand the housekeepers and cooks are busy engaged in chopping and mincing the turkey, chickens, ham, etc. the capers, raisins and various spices, are kept in a cool place and enveloped in a covering of plantain leaf to serve hot on the festal occasion. Another delicacy peculiar to this season is the tamerindo, or tamarind, stewed in pheasant, the dark cane sugar of the country. Christmas dinner also boasted of fresh beets and cucumbers, in addition to the other vegetables common to the country. The salutation or greeting for the season is "Felice Passus," equivalent to "Happy Christmas." Paperboy and even strangers put in their plan for "ugniinaldo" or a Christmas box. A band of street ucchins on the same erand made their presence known by gathering in the vestibulum entrance of the house and singing a delicate tune that may have been imbued as a Christmas carol. Before leaving the Christmas of the Tropies it might be interesting to note that while New Yorkers were paying any where from 20 to 30¢ a pound for theirorkets the average price in this part of the country was about 20¢ a pound figure the housekeeper secured a first specimen which must have weighed from 8 to 10 pounds, and after serving for the family of four left the almost untouched breast and back for the three servants. The fowl, which was tender and juicy, was cooked to a delicious brown and sweet sauce and then cooked in oven mode in America, the stuffing contained capers and raisins. An important plum pudding gave an international touch to the feast and was greatly relished by the Venezuelan servants to whom it was a novelty. Needless to say that they made clean sweep of the turkey, what they cannot not eat, and families after the manner of the country. New Year's Eve is spent in watching the old year out and the new year in, one from the infant to the oldest inhabitant, and the permitted sleep until after midnight. The also sleep a noisy greeting to the newcomer, but it seems but feeble to one who has ever been down by Trinity on such an occasion, and it seems likely to come to a close on January 6, which is "La Adoración de los Santos Reyes," commonly called "The Three Kings." Here again the children look for presents, if they are not already trusting that the gift bearing Meli will treat them more generously than San Nicholas. Instead of hanging up their stockings beside the chimney, the practice of the sleeping apartment. This is done probably to the quantity of both chimneys and stockings, the poorer classes dispensing entirely with the latter and when not Ball fighting, though still greatly in vogue in Venezuela, in the smaller towns has lost nearly all of the savagery features related in a recent description of ball fighting at Caracas. The sport has lost its nearly ninety toes tearing or chasing the balls, but more toes tearing or the animals' tormentors. This is attributed to the difficulty of sourcing animals of sufficiently savage spirit and fire to turn on the fighters and consequently the performance is frequently a very tame affair. Nevertheless, once in a while, the savage performers will happen one of sufficiently savage turn on his opponents in earnest and turn there is some tall screaming then to avoid his horns and a tearing. "The favorite time for this pastime is a Sunday afternoon and during the morning, a carriage, with several musician's instruments, around the town distributing handbills and the "green corrida," as it is called. The style of the announcement is somewhat grandiose, as may be imagined, to fit the occasion. This "given fashion": "With permission of Gomez, Chief of the District, and if the weather will permit it, there will be fought four bulls of the bravest and most carefully the prices of admission were two bollars (20c) for a bullock and one bolivar (20c) for the cow and around the ring, with children half price. The audience was composed almost entirely of men and children, on the occasion, when happened to attend, but few women being invited and those being joining to the native class. Although 4 o'clock was the hour name for the performance to begin, it must have been a half-hour later when the band climbed up to the section of the balcony reserved for them, although they had been drawn into the enclosure to draw patronage, not unlike a Island shows. The enclosure was made of hambone sufficiently high to shut off the view of those standing on the ground outside, but there was a large number of headlight spectators on adjacent roofs and drawers, and windows. On the study side there was a large or three rows of chairs and a box reserved for the officials directing the contest. Around the ring on the ground was a space, where the spectators who merely paid the entrance fee stood or walked and watched the performance, a flourish of trumpet the four half-filled across the ring to the box covering the officials, where they dotted their bowed low as they received word to enter upon their task. Three of these were straight-climbed nails 'follows of brown complexion arranged in gorgous tarnished, and carrying gold, somewhat tarnished, and carrying red, yellow and purple. The fourth was a figure, resembling a clown, his suit of a loud, wall paper pattern being stuffed WANAMAKER USED HIS RIGHT. And No American Not Crazy Would He Have He Did So. Keep the Man. Keep the Man. From an unimportant newspaper in Mobile The Sun has received this series of telegraphic communications: "MORLEL, Ala., Aug. 18—Wire briefly tonight your opinion of Booker Washington's action at Saratoga. Entire South discussing it and desires opinion of your paper. "IZHARD." "MORLEL, Ala., Aug. 19—No reply from you our telegram asking opinion Booker T. Washington's action. Does Wanamaker's advertising make your silence a challenge." "IZHARD." "MORLEL, Ala., Aug. 20—Friday and Saturday we wired for your opinion of Booker Washington's action. Does Wanamaker's advertising that you are subdued by the impression that you are subdued by Booker Washington's advertising we are especially anxious to hear from you, and we stand by to pay cost. Send two hundred words." The characteristics of the personality responsible for the forgoing missives are sufficiently manifest in the quick change from eager importance to childish insight. The unauthorized appeal is made in the name of the "entire South" which has the Sun's opinion directly through the columns of The Sun. That method of pronunciation is the one we prefer, and we shall continue to employ it, no doubt the general approval of our Southern friend the Mobile Herald fails toissent the Southern gentleman, in whose code courtesy is so prominent an article. We don't mind saying to this silly name what is already well known to the latter, but bana and elsewhere, that the editorial opinions of The Sun are not in the remotest degree shaped by its advertising department. In the case of Mr., John Walker, for instance, this proposition has been somewhat conspicuously self-evident. In asking Mr. Booker Washington to his table at a hotel in Saratoga for the purpose of talking about a matter of business, he said he had the highest notice in London or Paris or Calgary of America it is by no means novel. Since the days of Frederick Douglas men of distinction and personal sophistication have been men of education and refinement whose blood. It does not seem to have occurred to Mr. Wanamaker that he was doing anything other aggressive in the way of business; and this unconscious on-scene art is in our opinion greatly to his honor. As for Mr. Washington, an American who has the esteem and admiration of every other American citizen worthy of the many appearances to have accepted Mr. Wannamaker's award, and which some members of Mr. Wannamaker family were sitting without a thought of thus asserting his social equality or of challenging those customs and ideas at more intelligent times, we suspect more seriously. Indeed, it was Washington reached Atlanta day before yesterday that he became aware that a false version of the incident had provoked much indignant comment by the Southern members who assumed the truth of the story that some assumed the members of Mr. Wannamaker's family had corted ostentatively into the dining room by the colored president of Tuskegee, upon Mr. Washington caused to be published denial of that story, followed by this sensible and manly statement of his attitude toward existing facts and customs: When in the South I conform, like all colonists, to the customs of the South, but when in the North I am more essayful during the last twenty years, as essays during my book *Up From Shavery*, to come into my book *Up From Shavery*, to come into people in the furtherance of my work in ways I do not in the South, to whom new newspapers of respectability and candor appear in our notice, their remarks upon the occurrence and their criticisms of Mr. Washington have been mainly upon the erosion referred to above, now corrobed by his. His statement ought to end the matter. STATUTE FOR SHERIFF POAG. From the Independent. John M. Tong was an American martyr. He sheriff and every sheriff and every police officer. He was a martyr.

He died behind his body. So he defended the Jail and county prosecutions and killed. The people of Tate county and they asked help from the sheriffs' memory, and they ask help from the statute.

Regular Correspondence of THE AGENT ATLANTA, August 21.—It would seem that the Georgia Afro-American is not to be disfranchised, at least the legal ture at the session just ended refused to pass a bill to that effect. This matter of disfranchising the Southern Afro-American has had a peculiar effect in those States that have put the man and broth under the ban. It is unquestionably tending to less the qualities of statismship that once existed in the South. Men of mediocre ability have worked their way to the front and hold the key to the political situation. From time immemorial the South has had, or has claimed to have had, at the head of her political affairs men of deep statismship and of swaying forensic ability. Under the present regime the stock is dwindling and the days of great oratory and numbered with it would appear, are numbered with it and then there appears some leader no promises to develop into a Stephens, a Toombs or a Ben Hill, but somehow the promise always falls short of fullfillment. The man has always beastened that this section was the mark of the silver-tongued orator and the far-reaching writer. To such an extent has this claim been carried that it has genuinely been accepted throughout the Nation. The past have measured up to the men of any other section in the gifts of oratory and writing, but the present is by no means keeping pace with the achievement of this thing of disfranchisement in playing no inconsiderable part in the situation. The great orators hide their talent and keep quiet while the petty politicians and keep things. They are completely shadowsbirds, beware of ringlets and star-chamber caucuses, and the political world rolls on without their presence. If they bop up for Congress are quashed because it would not do to their boots who would oppose the will of the bores. Disfranchisement is working another sort of unfavorable condition by decreasing interest in things, political. Once they was a time when everybody that could be a early and sometimes of the Polling place, the country has an innumerable kept busy all day long. On the stump National issues were discussed and the best unfilled men were put forward as candidates by the two parties. He was all one sided, affair to day. The nominees of the democratic party always the successful candidate good deal of fuss and noise is made over his selection in the primary and nominating convention, but after his nomination all the others and he is lucky if he received the policy of the election and half of the number of votes. He also noted in the nomination. In most of the States where the Afro-American is disfranchised, hundreds of white men are as a result, themselves virtually disfranchised because the fuss has not been a part of the taxes incident to their part and other. The state is now the only part of the country that the Republican party, with which the Afro-Americans are almost unminimously allied, cannot put up any show of fight, and as a result there is nothing more interest and enthusiasm. As a common interest in becoming an unused art, or to put it, explicitly, is falling into innoocess desumetude. In political gatherings questions that are discussed are purely local in their nature, the main things of lack enthusiasm. The old threadbare era of the new information which always was an unworthy shillbirth, has been relegated and now gives place to whatever issue it pleases the local desire to handle. There are those they who believe that the passing of the disfranchisement has the worked more harm than good because of the lack of in interest shown in the elections. There is a world of contrast in what happens around polling booths in Massachusetts and New York and around the summer camp in South Carolina. In the two former places all is interest and hurry; in the two latter all is a lack of interest and a lack of state. It might not be an unsafe prediction but a decade there will zoom up men of large intellect in the halls of the legislature in every one of the States where the Afro-American disfranchised who will lead the fight for the restoration of the black man's vote. There is an ethnological difference between two Negroes and the white man which the Southern人 calls the Negro for several generations, realizes that he is different to be bridged over his world. His difference to be built that he is capable of participating in advanced Caucasian civilization upon terms of equality, and he never shall do so here. Negroes who have white blood in them, are not the Negro can take advantage of equality commonly take what the Negro can be educated into. These are not representatives of the terming black-millions in any sense. If the terming affinities of these isolated cases are to be taken into account, the raw black bulk will demand for them, the raw black bulk will demand for them, and it cannot be falsely be withheld from them. One of these Negroes With health that is taken by the millions referred to as theeless holds true that to recognize Rocker Washington as a social equal is to recognize Woman as a social equal. The name of country. For recognition of the names is taken by the millions referred to as theeless holds true that. Wherefore, we say: Woman as a social equal in Caucasian civilization in the face. The names will not, of course, hurt Caucasian civilization in the long run; but it is not calculated to help Womanaker to any great extent. Wannmaker's aqition, while it may not be excused, may be explained on the grounds of the need to understand Brooker Washington's part in the episode. Washington pro- tion is in the aqition to the Nectarios not to seek for a position in the Nectarios' re- cognition, but to x. A. to develop thermo- as wary of. He has assumed the attitude of a leader of a brighted race, preaching that it can only uplift itself through virtue, that it can own parity through imprisonment once that it that it seek for equality. But he has knowledge of the thousands of Haitians, whose hundreds of thousands of Haitians could never reach. He has cultivated through the sincerity of his own motives the leader, to is to demand Washington, their leader, to dismiss Washington, their leader, the Neproc will reason that that is their education will tend. Washington is ing his own usefulness, and forfeiting the white people of the South who believed in the sincerity of his professions. Most of the criticism seems to be directed at Wanamaker, though Mr. Washington comes in for a share in many of the papers. But he got a good meal and is going about as usual as if nothing had occurred. THOMAS H. MALONE SOCIALISM. Claim That Under Its Runner There Is No Race but the Human Race. To the Editor of the New York Age: In publishing in THE ACK my receipt letter, I see your head-liner was pleased to call it a Utopian dream. Of course, in so doing you have committed no crime, nor yet are you alone in such an opinion; the assertion, however, is incorrect, and I shall proceed to prove to you the possibility and practicability of Socialism. Socialism is not and never has been Utopian. The ideas of some of its early exponents and of many who aspire to leadership in the movement today may have been and are of such a nature as to give the cause a Utopian or visionary aspect, but that in no way impairs its soundness and practicability. Capitalism until now had not reached a development sufficient, to need a new social system such as will be brought about by Socialism. Socialism must be introduced by the proletariat; the working class: it is we who suffer from the exploitation of capitalism who must overthrow that exploitation and end that exploitation: it is the historic mission of our class, the working class. As an instance of the practicability of Socialism I think I might refer to the recent Swedish-Norwegian incident, when there was talk (by the Swedish capitalist group) about Norway to submit to the union by force. We call what happened. The Swedish working class, or the Socialist portion of it, who would have been used as the fighting cattle against Norway, issued a manifesto declaring emphatically that they would fight against their Norwegian fellow-workingman—that they have nothing to give to their wars of conflagration and commerce, but that they lose, even their precious lives; when they recognize that in times of peace they are all robbed by the capitalist class, and in times of war, brought on by the same injustice and capitulated against each other to destroy each other, the capitalist class that class—when the working class recognize these things they shall, like the Swedish Socialists, refuse to fight their fellow-workingman; they shall join hands and overthrow the system of capitalism, where wars, wars, and institutes of socialism, where wars, in peace, plenty and fraternity; the brotherhood of man shall then be a reality, and we shall see a parliament of the world. But I hear some one say Socialism may be good for European countries, but not democratic America. Such a statement is not a servicing. It matters not what form it takes under, so long as production is carried on for profit; so long as the wage system is in force, there will be one class living off the labor of another class, or in other words, a class of plunderers and a class of production. In this country that system is the best, and of all countries is the most Socialism. Nay, in this country we believe the first Socialist community shall be established, because here socialism has reached its zenith and it self; it must soon be replaced by a system of rational, more in accord with the demands of civilization. As a proof of this assertion, and of the possibility of Socialism (over the country) there has just been launched by Chicago, after a ten day conference of women representing some 200,000 an industrial union, the Industrial Workers of the World. Its principle is the publicistic and its mission is the training class on the field for the Social Operative commonwealth. It was a remarkable, a great and a proud convention; yes, the first to kind the world has ever seen, the first to kind a body of people together, the first to hold down definite and positive ideas for training a class struggle or the economic field for the overthrow of capitalism. And this industrial union that has been founded is a bona fide union, a union union, a union union, a union union, and none shall be liable because of color or creed or race. At the ratification meeting, Delegate Thomas J. Hagerey, during his speech at the Dairy Party's official opening, said: Note our sweeping embrace of the working class: "without regard to color, creed, or flag." The Negro has no flag; but he is a workingman, and he is the man in the Industrial Union, same as the Jew. For the flag, Let the Negro occupy under the red flag of Socialism—the flag that truly stands up for the man; true soldier; the flag that true librarian; the some under it is yours no less than those of races and your right to claim it is if you will have it so. So often one hears the phrase our regard to race, creed or orien-tion to inspire him; it lends members to rite, even hypo-ten from the life of some; it gives hope and inspiration to care. Will the Negro work with woman recognize it? Will the light that we hold before them to that light? It is for them to now point the way to the other workers; they must help with us or against us. What be? After these proofs of the vital possibility of Socialism, who dare call it a Utopian dream, or it exotic to this soil? No one like to be considered sane. So it is a Utopian. It is a logical of human society. It is very its benefits for the human one or more races, but the Negro race to turn its wards it, and contribute their establishing the Socialist commonwealth.

The most innocent People laughing and Gobble. WASHINGTON, D. C., August 21.—There is a tempest in a tempot over at the Bureau of Engraving and Printing, where the paper currency and stamps for Uncle Sum are printed. The course bell is the old ghost of slavery, color prejudice. In the beginning of Grower Cleveland's second Administration a man, Claude Johnson by name, from Kentucky was appointed superintendent of the Bureau of Engraving and Printing. He found between eighty and one hundred young Afro-American women employed there as printer's assistants, and didn't do a thing but turn all of them out. No, he did spare a few. These were in the pioneer days of the civil service reform. The service has since been baptized and purified by such commissioners as Theodore Roosevelt and James A. Garfield, and the result is that to-day more than two hundred young Afro-American women are holding positions as plate-printer assistants. They get in through civil service and are appointed to the last batch of appointees the entire number, six, were Afro-American women. The plate-printers are all white—no colored plate-printers are admitted. These autocrats who live on the bonnie of Uncle Sam do not take well to the idea of a colorful dress for a girl to present it when they can in every possible manner. For instance, if the girl is a little off in color—dark—they make references to imaginary storms arises; or if they give a girl a colorful dress they give muddy about getting "the kninks" out of the presses, etc. They set a splendid example of manners and department. The Plate-Printer, an "organ" of the craft, has a fit last week in his colorful suit, his bit of advice to the colored assistants: The colored assistants in the Bureau of Engraving and Printing are frustrating in the work of engraving and printing so industriously and ardently sought by some of the great leaders of their race. Instead of breeding hatred for the color, they are so adept at the matter and safer methods for them to employ --modest department, politeness. Without these accomplishments there are no self-respect, no confidence, no hope that it will be recorded by others. When a realization of this dawns on you, you are going to get back to telling people that you are just as good as they are, they are not going to believe you, nor need you. The truth of the matter is that some of the men in the department "getting back" at those chivalrous and mainly pate princesses for their "modest department" and "patience." It may be added that in this Puran, as in many others, the colored man rarely gets higher than laborer. The Washington news is purposefully written for matter pertaining to the last meeting of the National Negro Business League. The health report for the District for the week beginning August 12 shows the death of 62 white and 61 colored, or a rate of 15.7 of deaths among the whites and 22.4 among the colored people.

EDWARD E. COOPER. THE RACE IN NORTHERN POLITICS. Has Troubles of its Own Without Bewailing Woes of Southern Brethren. To the Editor of THE New York Age: Permit me, through the columns of your valuable paper, to say a few words in regard to the Northern, Western and Southern Negroes in politics. But before I proceed I deem it would be well to select a text from whitel to speak, and I know of no passage of Scripture that is more befitting the occasion than the following: "But Jesus, turning unto them, said, 'Daughters of Jerusalem, weep not for me, but weep for yourselves, and for your children.'" For many years the Negroes at the North and West have been in the habitat of the North and West, and have been the treatment of their herdmen at the South on election days. These Northern and Western births need to sweep for them, and the North and West have been denied many of the privileges which he has enjoyed, because of his status as a slave. The purposes of responsibility under both the State and National governments, I mean not when I say that the Negroes North and West have been made to march up to the polls, and deposit their votes in the interest of some white man. In several of the States the Negroes North and West seem to be too stupid or too cowardly to demand some of the State and Federal places after victory has been achieved by Though faithful the Negroes of New York have ever been to the Republican party, they have not appointed a single of them to an office or any kind. How long will the Negroes of the State stand for such bold and uncompromising positions, they always be satisfied with the more proud base of casting their votes, and not aspire to office? We see in Titus Acki that Gov. Charles W. Anderson as Supervisor of Race Accounts. The Negro was absolutely the Negro vote is so potent in times of great political contests. Could Governor Vardaman of Mississippi, or Senator Tillman of Georgia, choose the Negroes at the South speak to the Negroes at the North and West in the language of our text. "Weep for our children, weep for ourselves and for your children." The Negroes in the States of New York, Ohio, Illinois, Indiana, West Virginia, and other states which are far away from the Republic, party than the South, should not be forgotten by their Sonnora and Representatives in Congress, the Negroes at the North, and the Negroes concerned, have no just cause to kick if they do not get any of the Federal places for the next ten years to come. They should not be concerned and the Northern and Western brother a chance. And these facts, if properly presented to the President, would arrest his attention. If they do not have men from the South who have served in Congress and have held other good past positions, would show that they, too, are our good President, and should aid, if they can their Northern and Western brother to secure some places of honor and trust. West should cease weeping for their brothers at the South, and weep for themselves for they verily have troubles enough of Washington, D. C. August 17, 1900. BISHOP SMITH'S LITTLE SURPRISE.

Special Correspondence of Two Am. LONDON, August R. When I left Paris I left with an almost heavy heart, and I sure that my companions shared the feeling with me. It is only a short distance from Paris to Brussels, and a few hours' ride, after leaving the Gare in Napl, put us in the Belgian capital. Brussels, a city of 500,000 inhabitants, is a smaller Paris; well paved, with wide streets, handsome boulevards, public art and public buildings, and the same sort. They speak two languages in Belgium, French and Flemish. Brussels French predominates; Amsterdam, the second largest city in country, Flemish is the predominat-er, especially among the com-But everybody seems to get about as well in one language as other. Both are taught in the schools. As soon as we arrived in Brussels we were with the Grand Hotel, and there we were with the same cordial treatment we at the Continental in Paris; but we needed to it, and it did not imminently so much. On driving to we noticed that the whole city was decorated for the fourteenth anniversary of the independence of Belgium was being celebrated. And such street decorations I never seen before. In innumerable rooms almost every building; along the length of the main thoroughfare, at a distance of about one foot apart, spanned the street; thanks of these arches being come into view the flowers were woven electric colors. I was told more than 100,000 of these lights used in the decorations. We sent our first evening in Brussels the Palais d'Ete, the leading vau- de-marie of the city. We found it in beauty, and excellence of environment the equal of any place of kind in Paris. And imagine, when before the last act a gentleman in evening clothes stepped out on and made an announcement in London that he was a colored man. We become to speculate as to what kind man he was, whether East West Indian, or African. We after the show, and found out that it was not only a colored man, but man from the States, a native South Carolina; that he had been in Eighteenth years, and for seven had been the stage manager—not kind, but real stage manager—of Palace d'Ete. His name is Wood- Hill. He usus to take breakfast at the theatre of meeting his wife, Wood-Hill is a colored woman, but of Germany, and speaks Eng- lish in that way they seem themselves perfectly well under- standing mother.

The storm was so severe that they were not able to reach this city until two days later, when they were assisted by people born.

It is greatly feared that the great peril through which these children have just passed will incapacitate them for giving consent to their safety, before the Newport Herald bows and the city immediately these boys in any way possible.

He had been ill for some time and a severe fall, spoken of by friends, was to much for his enfeebled frame. He is survived by four sons and one grandson. His son, Mr. Sedgewick R. J.

After American comedian, name the Marshall Hotel, returning at the head of his Philadelphia Stadium from his 82nd performance at Hammett's Road Garden and Victoria Theatre. An interview with him was requested upon theatrical and musical conditions among the Afro-American artists of Greater New York, and he, with characteristic bonhomme and joviality, launched forth into an informing discourse on the subject. "The show business among the negro artists is better now than it ever was," said Mr. Hogan. "The development of artists such as Cole and Johnson, Williams and Walker, and Johnson and Deane, has worked such a revolution in the theatrical world that the Negro showman is now upon a commercial basis; radically different from the Negro showman in the past, when he was largely a speculative theatrical quantity. The respect and esteem engendered by the high-class character, of the performances of the above-named artists and of others, has so brought and partly forced recognition from theatrical managers, to the extent that the managers of high-class vaudeville houses and theatres in Boston, Toledo, San Francisco, Omaha, New York and other cities, know even the stories demanded by our artists; and, if he engages them, does not hesitate to lay the specified and recognised rate. Twenty years ago, he simply picked up some lovely looking who could perform "darky" artists; the didn't receive much money and didn't demand very much. He made his audiences laugh for he was humorous, but, in the parlance of the stage, his work was "crude" and lacked the "finene" which the stage to-day demands. "One of the chief causes of the evolution of the Negro burnt cork comedian into the Negro artist has been the advent of the young man. High-class vaudeville work is now a profession that is as recreational if not more so than a number of the so-called high professions. It requires ability, education and culture, and many college students are entering the field. This requires the infusion of young men of education, culture and talent in order to keep the business up to its present standard and increase the prestige of the Afro-American artist. "An illustration of the class of Negro artists to-day upon the stage is Berr Williams. He so makes up as to be absolutely ridiculous; every motion and step of his excites laughter. Yet, meeting him upon the street, the contrast is so remarkable as to almost to be beyond belief. He is a fine looking young man, with polished and debonair manners. Bob Cole on the stage dressed up in a bunch of rags as a tramp is a sight long to be remembered; yet upon the street he is, a Beau Brummell, cultured and refined. "The Afro-American artist is keeping abreast of the times in a manner which should be much appreciated by the entire race. Mr. George Walker and myself have developed two big musical organizations which have not only been created to represent our courts to the representatives that rarely in the history of the show business has such a decided hit been made as by Mr. Hogan, assisted by Abbie Mitchell Cook, in his Memphis Students at Hammerskin's Roof Garden. Originally engaged for only two weeks, they are now running over their 100th performance; they are all winners, and have already contracted for an all-summer engagement next season. "The Williams and Walker Gloe club" continued Mr. Hogan, "has demonstrated the capacity of the Negro for high class music. Mr. Walker has for over two years in excessively all over the country culled the host, talent of the race, and brought together its best Singers into his Gloe club, which he has led to refuse to such a list that managers all most of the country are asking for engagements, which he has led to refuse in order to begin organizing the new company of 1100 people of which the Gloe club will be a special feature. Williams and Walker are to appear this season in a musical plantation entitled "Myssinia." The Gloe club is now entertaining societal functions at New York and will entertain the Negro Business Men's League here." Mr. Hogan is organizing and rehearsing a company of 50 people whom he will head upon a tour of the country this year. They will be called "Ernest Hogan's Funny Folks." It will be a musical melody entitled "The Birth of the Minstrel," and we include such well-known performers as Bob Kelly, Russell Rondot, Harry Fidler, Harry Gilliam, the four Owley brothers, J. Francis Morris, Henry Troy, J. Howard Washington, Adolphus Haston, the Bahamian solosis, Meshodes Marian Harris, soprano of Union chapel, Chicago; Carita Day, Mamie Cameron, Mattea Phillips, Ida Eorson, Anna Cooke, Mattea Phillips, Thompson Jones, Stelka Wiley, Sallie Groebird, Georgia Harvey Mickey and an augmented chorus of fifty voices. These captains of the theatrical industry are giving high-class employment by their ability for organization to many members of the race and are opening the door of opportunity to ambitious and aspiring young men and women to lucrative employment. They reach more white people than any other class of colored people in the world, and the impression they make upon the thousands of white people all over the country cannot fail to lure to the best interests of the race, bringing to it a higher degree of res admination for its musical at increased belief in the art the Negro for higher arts.

THOMAS FORTUNE THE AGE THE AGE is a newspaper by Afro-Americans for Afro-Americans. While it believes in the principles and policies of the Re publican party, The AGE reserves the right to criticise Republican men and policies when the interests of the Afro-American people or those of the country appear to require it. A newspaper organ, which allows its opinions to be dictated by party platforms without reference to the public weal, is among the most dangerous forces in a Republic. THE AGE has a larger number of readers distributed among a larger number of States of the Union than any other Afro-American newspaper: THE AGE has a larger and stronger staff of correspondents and special writers than any other Afro-American newspaper. THE AGE prints a larger volume of original matter of news and opinion every week than any other Afro-American newspaper. THE AGE has been published more than twenty years, and expects to be published more than twenty years longer.

Wheatland Middle X-ray Foundation of New York Wales Who Were Infused in Automobile Acoustic Windmills Longue in Northern-South and Pensylvanian Means. Boston, Mass., August 21—Dr. Mar- cus F. Wheatland of Newport, R. L. is adding inroits to his fame as a special- ist in electro-therapeutics and the X-ray. He is one of the most progressive physi- cians in New England. In these studies, Dr. Wheatland has become especially pro- fessor. When the daughter of Thomas F. Walah, the multi-millionaire mining king, was seriously injured in an aptly appointed accident last Saturday, who should be called in consultation in the case of the afro-American physician, Dr. Wheatland? He was requested to make some-ray plane of the structure of Miss Walah's thigh and to assist the surgeons in determining if it had been properly set, that no uncomfortable effects would be felt later. The plates made by Dr. Wheatland were pronounced unusually clear and distinct. He will make other photos in order to determine absolutely whether there is a fracture of the parts examined. If Dr. Wheatland is successful in this case, he will, no doubt, become the most celebrated specialist in Newport, if he is not that already. Dr. Wheatland came to this country from Barbados some fourteen- or fifteen years ago and for a number of years worked at his trade of shoe-making in the city of Boston. In 1803 he went to Howard University, Washington, D.C., where he entered the medical department from which he graduated three years later. He located in Newport, where the Afro-American population is extremely limited and where meagre opportunities for practice are promised, but by diligent application to his profession and studious habits he obtained a knowledge of therapeutics and the X-ray that places him in the front rank of specialists. Afro-Americans throughout the United States will rejoice in the success of Dr. Marcus F. Wheatland. The local branch of the National Negro Business League will hold a special meeting at an early date. On this occasion plans will be made to hold a public meeting in one of the large churches when all of the men who attended the New York meeting will tell what they saw and how they were impressed by what they heard. It is expected that this meeting will attract quite a number of the men and women now in business in this city and vicinity. Mr. Chester A. Miles, who for the past two years has served as a sailor on board the U. S. cruiser Brooklyn, flagship of the second division of the North Atlantic fleet, is in the city on leave for ten days. He is not like the average Afro-American sailor. He does not spend his tims visiting dena of vice and like places; but instead he is spending his time sight-seeking and the places visited; and public garden; public library; art museum; the public church; Faneuil hall and other places of interest. He is an intelligent young man and keeps in touch with all important movements started for the benefit of the race. He was once employed in the office of the Sentinel, M. M. Lewey, editor, Pennacola, Florida, as a printer. The combined lodges of Odd Fawns of the city of Boston will have an owing at Springfield on September 14, presidents being made by the good people of that city to entertain the gentlemen who will visit the thriving little city. The Tuxedo Dancing Class will give its grand picnic to-day at Caledonian grove in West Roxbury. A great crowd is anticipated. Mr. J. R. Benn gave a dance at Paines hall last Monday night. The affair was well attended. The Elks will give a mum summer evening's at Caledonian grove in August 20. Lieutenant-Governor Curtis Guild, Jr., it is announced, will deliver an address at Parker Memorial hall on September 19 for the colored people. Hon. William D. Crum and wife of Charleston, S. C., are in the city stopping at the Langham hotel. Rev. Henry J. Callis, pastor of the Columbus avenue A. M. E. Zion church, was tendered a reception at the church on Monday evening, the occasion being his departures for Pittsburgh, where he will spend the weekend. He will attend the executive council of the A. M. E. Zion connection and will go to Detroit, where he will be present at the sessions of the Afro-American Council. Boston was well represented last week at the sessions of the National Negro Business League in Palm Garden in New York city. Some of the most substantial Afro-American citizens of Boston took advantage of the special rates to New York city and were present at each session of the League. Rev. J. H. Carter has been called to the pastorate of the Shiloh Baptist church of Williamsburg, Pa. Rev. Carter was in our city during the past week. Mr. and Mrs. George W.

Reed of Irving street, has returned from Plymouth after a week's vacation. Rev. William Hamner Piper, overseer of the Christian Catholic Apostolic church in New England, who has taken an attitude very much in favor of the Afro-American in this part of the country, will leave the city for Chicago where he will take charge of the work in that city. He is a very fair and kindly, disposed gentleman and has done, some very good work for the race. Mrs. Walter J. Stevens of Cambridge, returned from a delightful vacation of two weeks on last Tuesday.

C. next month on leave and will visit his old friends and relatives. Mr. J. H. King of the Brooklyn, is contemplating making a purchase in the West where he will locate when he leaves the navy. WORSE THAN YELLOW FEVER. From the Indianapolis Freeman. The color question has come to Governor Vardaman in a little different danger- kers form. The yellow fever is not dangerous, the choler, but a real one. If the fever gets Vardaman we shall feel sorry for the fever. Providence, R. J., August 31—The summer season is almost over and there are very few more outings to come. The Afro-American people of Providence have no kick coming, because they have had great times all summer.
