COLE & JOHNSON'S TRIUMPH.
LONDON TAKEN BY STORM BY THEIR TURN AT PALACE THEATRE
Mr. James W. Johnson Tells How the Nervousness of a First Night's Appearance, Augmented by Enthusiastic Advertising, Was Quickly Ended by the Burst of Applause Evoked by the Artists' First Song—Congratulated by Mr. Coleridge-Taylor—Littering Praise of London Press—Comparison of London and Paris.
Second Correspondence of THE AGE, LONDON, England, August 15.—We are here four days before the date set for the opening at the Palace theatre, and for that time our tour, so far as a pleasure trip, ceased; our future happiness depended upon the opening.
Those were four days of anxiety, that anxiety was heightened by the stress in which "the boys" were being used. On every buss, on every bill-board could be seen letters, "Cole and Johnson, the Colored American Comedians," or, and Johnson, the Great Colored American Artists," or "Cole and Johnson, the Great Colored American Musi-The management of the theatre to think that it had secured a

opening night came, and I took in the front of the house in order to judge the audience. I had a mind enough left to note, as I sat around, that the Palace theatre was neatly named; it is richly furnished, the orchestra chairs are big enough up in and take a nap if the process you. There is room enough in the rows of chairs for folks to sit you, in and out, without obliging to do a sort of Episcopalian service. This is an almost unheard of comedian theatre. The people in the orchestra chairs, and in the both ladies and gentlemen, were most evening dress. I spent my studying the audience, and making notes of things that interested Cole and Johnson stepped on stage; then I gripped the trumpet and sat like a snake. The white American actors share spending their abroad and happened to be in London were out in full force and gave me a rousing reception; this put me at ease, but I could see that were at the height of nervous tenacity so was I.
At the first note a bush fell on the land and as the song went on it seemed that the entire audience leaned forward to catch the faintest note. When singing was finished the spontaneous applause which followed the chair and smile; continued to smile during the recollection of the art. When they had finished and were recalled before the curtain was that they had won London. Mr Samuel Colridge-Taylor, the eminent African composer, and his friends in the audience. After the chance he requested me to take him to Colgate and Johnson's house. I did so, and I naturally congratulated his success.

We are by way of comparing the
performers with the
music and charm of
stiltsors. Primarily they are
composers; their works sell like
throughout the United States, quite
city of their own performance;
they are charm full, well set up,
manner, and graceful in every
movement. The stage is prepared for them in the way of a luxurious drawing room. There they seem to be completely at home; purely at ease. As a rule, the colored performer is the most important of the kind. Their talk is amusing, without any gestation of mechanical, smartness. Their songs and duets, which are like nothing we ever hear before, have now an exquisite touch with the comedy. The music is perfectly beautiful.
"The boys" now are working with all of their old-time skill and confidence, and the papers are continuing to say nice things about them.
During our first two or three days' stay here I was a sadly disappointed man in this, the greatest city of the world. After so long a stay in Paris, this huge, massive, ponderous London seemed as ugly a spot as man could contrive to make. Perhaps it would not so have impressed me had I not become used to the elegance and beauty of the French Capital. But London's very massiveness, I might say its lightness, began to impress me. I began to sense of grandeur which one feels when he looks at a great mountain or a mighty river. Beside London, Paris becomes a toy, a pretty plaything.
It was quite natural for me to compare these, the two greatest cities in Europe; one, the commercial and financial center of the world, the other, the center of art and fashions. At first my comparisons were not at all complimentary to London. I thought of Paris as a lovely dream, of London as a horrid nightmare; of Paris as the beauty spot of Paris as the earth, of London as a big freakie. But I like taking from a purely esthetic point of view. When one stops and considers that in this age art has taken a position behind commercialism he cannot but be impressed with the power and might of London. He cannot but admit that it is the hub of the earth.
I must own that I have begun to love the old town, and, too, that I have discovered in it many beauty spots. The beauty in and about London is very different from that in and about Paris. The beauty of the French city seems ready-made and artificial, as though set up by a photographer's camera, everything richly edible, not the picture; while in and about the English city there is a rugged and natural sort of beauty which is positively refreshing.
Perhaps in my next I shall resume the thread which I broke—my impressions of London. JAMES W. WOJNSON.
MUSICAL LADIES ABROAD.
Miss Harriet Gibbs, Miss Washington
and Others Doing the Continent.
PARIS, France, August 16 - Miss Harriet A. Gibbs, director music in the colored public schools of Washington, D.C., and president of the Washington Conservatory of Music, and Miss Abby Williams, instructor of instrumental music in the Washington Conservatory, who sailed for Paris last June, were joined in the latter part of July by Miss Portia Washington, daughter of Booker T. Washington, and Jane E. Clark, who came from London. The whole party are guests of the Grand Hotel des Ecoles, and have been accorded many social attentions by prominent Parisians.
On August 3, they were the guests of honor at a brilliant reception tendered to them in the Grand Palais Royal hotel, one of the most palatial hotels in Europe, by the world famous linguist and scholar, Dr. Brydon, minister from Liberia to Emmanuel II, the following Saturday. Rylson took the duties for a drive to see the sights of Paris, his English secretary acting as guide. Naturally, the ladies, with their musical tastes and education, have missed no opportunity to hear the grand opens for which Paris is so justly famous.
On August 15, Miss Gibbs, accompanied by Miss Washington and Miss Clark, left Paris for an extended trip in the South of France, Switzerland and Italy, returning by way of Germany; Misses Washington and Clark going to Berlin and Miss Gibbs returning to Paris, where she will remain until the arrival of her sister, Mrs. Ida Hunt, wife of the United States Consul to Madagascar, Miss Abby Williams, who has devoted her time to the further study of the piano, will sail for America on September 4, from Geneva, Italy.
THADDEUS STEVENS POST PICNIC.
Prize Awarded to Drum Corps, and Major Hart Gets Baton from Ladies. The inclement weather did not deter the patrons of the Grand Army from attending Thaddeus Stevens post's annual pleae at Ulmer park on Friday evening, August 25. At 9 p.m., the pavilion was gay with milti- officers of the Spanish war veterans and their full drum and huggle corps, officers of posts 207 and 234 and the Manhattan Life and Drum corps. The W. R. C. No. 33, cookbook, was largely represented.
At 12:45 a.m. the floor was cleared for the societies who desired to contest for the two prizes offered by the post. Two associations contested. The Admiral's Association took the first prize, a high-grade lee water set, pitcher, glasses, and nickel tray. The Manhattan Fife and Drum corps took the second prize, a voting set, ballot box, ballots and gavel. The enthusiasm ran to a high pitch in the arena, the corps applied to and hardy to the platform. At this juncture Mrs. Frances Johnson stepped to the footlights and presented Major Hart of the Manhattan corps with a beautiful silver-mounted snub bat. She asked the corps had been a faithful in responding to them to Brooklyn that as an appreciation of such services, in behalf of the veterans and in the name of Fraternity, Charity and Loyalty in behalf of the Indians of the women's military she presented this exhibition of gratitude.
Major Hart bowed his acknowledgment and amid loud huzzas and much shouting and beating of sheepskin in the grand march began, which included the entire audience. About five hundred thousand people, and dancing on until 4.15 a.m. The public express its thanks to the public for so liberal support during such incident weather.
West Indians 117. Thistle 76.
On last Saturday the West Indian Cricket team defeated the Thistle Cricket club at Prospect park, Brooklyn. It only required six wickets to accomplish the work, and Captain Melberman declared the innings for -117 runs, with six wickets down. When Thistles went to the last, they had to overcome that number or play for a win. The colored cricketers have been schooled in all these arts of the game, the proposition did not work, the side brought only 79 runs, the score was: six wickets, six West Indian 117 runs, six wickets.

COLE & JOHNSON.
WHO HAVE BEEN WINNING MORE LAURELS IN LONDON.
BETHEL CHURCH DETACHED.
Dr. Henderson Preaches to Patriarchs on Leadership
Sunday was a great day at Bethel church, Dr. Henderson preached a splendid sermon in the morning on "The Danger of Evil Parentism." The people gave the best attention and many expressed themselves as greatly pleased with the sermon. In the afternoon Dr. Henderson and a number of his officers paid a visit to Union Bethel church, Brooklyn, Dr. Thos. Gould, pastor, Dr. Henderson preached the sacramental sermon from the text, "What Shall I do with Jesus." The people greatly enjoyed the able discourse. At night Dr. Henderson preached a sermon to New York Patriarchie that highlighted the need to teach the children "I AM That I AM Sent Thus." The Doctor referred to the condition of Israel when God sent Moses to their deliverance and said:
"Just now our own people are in a crisis equally as grave as any through which Israel ever had to pass, and as Moses one of their number was raised up to go to them with the backing of Almighty God, just so Booker T. Washington, T. Thomas Fortune, and other great men of our race are being raised up by the same God to show our people out of the condition that slavery and oppression are the leadership of such men, every man of the race should be ready either to fight or pray until the cruel treatment to which they are subject should be forever banished. We must follow our leaders even as Israel Followed hers."
The sentiments of the preacher were almost applauded and all gave evidence of their willingness to follow the leadership of such men as the preacher had just named. Since the Bishop has heard the prayers of the people and detached Bethel church from the district of the objectifiable presiding elder all looks hopeful once more and peace reigns again.
BISHOP ARNETT RESIGNS.
Venerable A. M. Prelate Made Ill by
Bother. Over Appointment.
As the result of serious illness brought about on account of worry over the treatment accorded him by the officials of the Bethel A. M. E. Church of West Twenty-fifth street, this city, and the Bridge-street and Union Bethel churches of Brooklyn, Bishon Benjamin W. Arnott has resigned as Bishop of the New York diocese of the African Methodist Episcopal Church. The Bishop's council of the church has relieved him of all work in connection with the Philadelphia, New Jersey and New England Conferences, which with the New York Conference, comprise the First Episcopal District. Bishop B. T. Tanner, who is considered the most scholarly man of the beach of Bishops, has been placed in charge of the New York and New England Conferences, and Bishop Levi J. Coppin, formerly a South Africa, has been assigned to the Philadelphia and New Jersey Conferences. Bishop Tanner will visit the city within a day or two to endeavor to straighten out the troubles of the churches, and will appoint a new Presiding Elder over the dissatisfied churches.
CRUM DIDN'T SPEAK
But Brooklyn Y. M. C. A. Heard Hurst, Banka, Simmons, Moore and Gilbert.
A large gathering attended the monthly public meeting of the Brooklyn Y. M. C. A. at Sloam Presbyterian church last Sunday at 4 p.m. while the audience was disappointed in not hearing Dr. Crum of Charleston, S. C.

BELLMEN AT MANHANSET.
A Mascot's Infirmities Hooded Their Baseball Team.
MANHANSET MANOR, August 29.—The Manhanset Bellmen, have not been forgotten by the indies while doing their duty far away on Shrub Island. Their banquet was a stag affair but at other times the indies have been welcome visitors. Mrs. W. J. Lee, Mrs. L. Tucker, Mrs. A. Saunders and Mrs. E. S. Edwill made a pleasant stop while enroute to Newport on a pleasure trip. Sunday they enjoyed the company of Mrs. Geo. S. Durnell and Mrs. M. W. Donnis, who are visiting friends in Greenport, S. Edwill, Linda W. Edwill and Edar S. Edwill represented the Manhanset bellmen at Newport this Summer. Mr. John E. Mason, Manhanset's champion after dinner speaker, gave a temperance lecture last week. O. L. Lockhart is a constant visitor to Greenport, just across the bay. L. Indies spends his spare time at Prospect, while Chas. Crumoe, Jr. W. L. Fisher and others have found pleasant attractions in the cottage section here. These jolly fellows have secured for Friday evening the Neotane, a beautiful launch, on which they and some fair friends will take moonlight will of their cottage, and the married men, whose wives are absent, will not be permitted to go. J. F. Rooks left Manhanset Monday to visit home and friends at Gatesville, N. C. He may bring back a wife.
Al. Jones, head bellman of the Prospect House, is very jubilant, as the Prospect baseball team is invincible to the Manhunets. The Prospects beat them 3 straight games. The Manhunets at their massacre, "Sport," a Boston terrier, blind in one eye, lame in one leg, wind-broken and over 20 years of age.
JILTED. SHE SHOT HER LOVER.
A. T. Smith Killed by Emma Morris
The She Also Wounded.
NEWARK, N. J., August 28.—Adam T. Smith, the proprietor of a saloon and restaurant at 54 Arlington street, was shot and killed last Thursday in his place of business by Miss Emma Morris, aged 22. Smith was a widower aged 52.
It seems that he had paid attention to Miss Morris with matrimonium purposes, and affectionate with her. Under her guidance he held the shots, notified the police, who on entering found Smith lying dead with an open knife clutched in his hand, and the woman lying unconscious from a gash in her throat, which will not prove serious. Between them lay a 28-caliber revolver with four chambers emitted.
Miss Morris was removed to St. Barnabas Hospital, where she was indicted for murder on Saturday. She has refused to say anything about the occurrence.
Smith's body was shipped to Cherry, Va., his former home, and buried there on Monday.
SAVED WHITE WOMAN'S LIFE.
Afro-American Then Cut With Razor
by Her White Appointant.
TRENTON, N. J., August 28—Last night Alfred Flynn, a white man, entered the Pleasantville Halfway house on the Princeton pike and, being drunk, attacked the proprietress, Mrs. S. D. Pierson, a white woman, and knocked her down.
As he was about to strike her again Griffiths Christian, an Afro-American, aged GI, hurled a chair and struck him on the head. Flynn turned-up his new assailant, who, being old, took to his heels. Flynn pursued him for two miles and having overtaken him slashed the colored man with a razor so severely that forty stitches were required to close his wounds. Christian was found later and taken to the hospital; but Flynn is not yet arrested.

BOSTONIANS BANQUET CRUM.
Prometheus, Non Frida Roosevelt's Resolutions in Supporting Collector.
BOSTON, Mass., August 30.—A notable company of Afro-Americans gathered at Young's hotel last Friday evening to do honor to Dr. William D. Crum, U. S. Revenue collector at the port of Charleston, S. C. Indeed, it was the most representative function witnessed in this city for some time. The committee in charge consisted of: Hom. Wm. H. Lewis, assistant United States District Attorney; William H. Dupree, superintendent Station A. Boston Post Office; George W. Forbes, Joseph Lee, ex-Representative Wm. L. Reed, and Dr. Samuel E. Courtney. On the front page of the menu were printed these lines: "Banquet by the Colored Citizens of Boston in Honor of Hon. William D. Crum, Collector of the Port of Charleston, S. C. Young's Hotel, Boston, Friday, August 25, 1906."
The menu follows: Mock turtle, consomme jardinière, bluefish, point shirley, fillet, of beef with mushrooms, roast spring chicken, roast lamb with mint sauce, chicken, croquettes, macedoine, lambies brined, tomato sauce, apple sauce, roasted potatoes, coke, ice cream, sherbet, apples, peas, teaches, grouts, cheese and coffee.
At the head of the table was seated the guest of honor, with other members of the party as follows: Jacob H. Wolf, William H. Lewis, Archibald H. Grimke, Napoleon B. Marshall, ex-Representative W. L. Reed, ex-Representative Robert T. Teamoh, Chas L. Mitchell, Win H. Improse, Ruther R. Wilson, Geo W. Forbes, Gilbert C. Harris, Jas R. Hamm, Charles Alexander, Dr. R. Hamm, Gilbert C. Alexander, Dr. W. Drumman, Dr. S. J. Fewell, John C. Schonks, Jos. Leo Dr. L. I. Robertus, Wn P. Hare, U. S. Ridley, S. E. Courtney, Arthur Newton, S. B. Brown, Mark R. DeMortie, Timothy Tynes, R. C. Sheler, Leon Lewis, Henderson Allston, Jos. A. Dorsay, Lewis F. Baldwin, George Ruffin, Charles W. M. Williams, Basil Mutchins, Dr. J. B. Hall, Dr. P. J. Smith, Samuel Hodges, Charles King, Charles Hall, M. M. Allston, J. H. Taylor, Dr. W. C. Lane, Rev J. Henry Duckery, Scott Robinson, Charles W. M. Williams, O. E. Eargar Benjamin, William O. Armstrong, Curtis J. Wright, John M. Burrell, Robert H. Taylor, Nelson Wentworth and John Shuw.
Unusual interest was manifested in this event by the Boston press, owing to the fact that Dr. Crum's appointment by President Roosevelt to the position he now occupies, created no little feeling in the South at the time; he has been made the subject of much racial and political discussion, and about this the talk of the evening naturally revolved. The company sat down shortly after S. o'clock in private dining-room No. 12, the walls of which are lung with the pores of oil of which thousands of human rights no Abraham Lincoln, Woudell Phillips, Charles Sumner and others. The long table was very pretty in its floral decorations.
Dinner and music concerned those present until about 9:15, when James H. Wolff, commander of the Massachusetts department of the G. A. R., and toastmaster for the evening, called for the first toast, "The President." Assistant U. S. District Attorney W. H. Lewis responded to toast with what was presumed to be best proof of the evening. Speaking of Dr. Crum, he characterized him and his position as "the biggest crumb that ever fell from the Federal table."
Next Mr. Wolff called for Mr. A. H. Grimke, ex-Consul General to San Domingo, to respond to the toast on "What Crum's Appointment Means." Mr. Grimke dwelt on the necessity of progress.
The Afro-American must not be content with having gained one office through the time of the Crum appointment, ever progress and overcome the prejudice that was shown so clearly at the time of the Crum appointment.
Mr. N. B. Marshall, in his response to the nont. "The Opposition Not Partisan," created the excitement of the evening. He said: "I am a democrat but I am neither ashamed nor afraid to welcome here in our midst the distinguished doctor, the collector of the port of Charleston. As a Democrat I am aware that I occupy a small place in any assemblage of liberal citizens of the city of Boston but I am not one of those who subscribe to the offensive conventions which the preceding speakers have showed upon President Roosevelt: I acknowledge that the President did a brave act in appointing and standing back of Mr. Crum, but I believe that Grover Cleveland showed far greater courage in his appointment of colored men in his party for Mr. Cleveland was a Democrat elected to party whose members are presumed to be inimical to the colored race."
It was evident, however, that Mr. Marshall's sentiments were not the sentiments of the company. Mr. B. R. Wilson, speaking of the attitude of Boston toward the Afro-American, proceeded to poke a little fun at him, as did most of the remaining speakers. Mr. Wilson spoke gratefully of the spirit of real liberty which pervaded Boston, in this winter infringing on the ground of W. whosoat tow we "A Word From the Company," Mr. R. Roosevelt coming Mr. Crum on this, his first visit to Boston, spoke feelingly on the sentiment of Boston and the State toward the Afro-American people.
The last speaker was G. W. Forbes of the dinner committee, on "A Crum of Comfort." He paid a very pretty tribute to Mrs. Crum, a Massachusetts woman, whose family first arrived here by the famous old "underground railroad."
NATIONAL DOCTORS' MEETING
RICHMOND SESSION COMBINED WELL BUSINESS AND PLEASURE.
Virginia's Proverbial Hospitality Surpassed Even Itself in Entertaining the Delegates—Valuable Papers Read and Clinics Held at City Hospitals—Scalpels and Table Knives Handled With Equal Defenses—Mrs. Maggid I. Walker's Address—Dr. R. Emmett Jones Elected President—Next Meeting Goes to Philadelphia.
Special Correspondence of THE AGE.
RICHMOND, Va., August 28.—The National Medical Association of Physicians, Surgeons, Dentists and Pharmacists met in this city Tuesday. Wednesday and Thursday, of last week at St. Luke hull.
The session was a decided success, both from a professional as well as a social standpoint. The citizens of Richmond took a deep interest in the proceedings, and at each session turned out in large numbers to listen to the reading of the many interesting papers and the discussions which followed.
The local committee, consisting of Dr. R. Emmett Jones, chairman; Dr. H. L. Harris, Dr. J. M. Senson, Dr. D. A. Ferguson and Dr. E. R. Jefferson, was able assisted in the social features of the session by ladies of the auxiliary staffs of Richmond Central League hospital and Richmond Hospital.
The homes of our best and most substantial people were thrown open to the visiting doctors, and on every hand was to be seen that hospitality for which the name Virginia, and especially Richmond, has become proverbial.
Not since the gathering of the National Negro Business League here three years ago has there been such a representative gathering of professional men (and there were several women, too) in this city, and engaged themselves socially and pleasure enjoyed themselves socially, and at the same time gained useful information about the intricate and difficult problems that confront their professions, through the valuable papers read and clinics performed at the two hospitals.
The first day's morning session, on Tuesday, August 22d, was called to order by Vice-President R. Emmett Jones of Richmond. There was a short devotional exercise, after which the president, Dr. John E. Hunter, of Lexington, Ky., delivered his annual address. The paper was an able one, brimful of useful information concerning the strides which the Afro-American has made in the practice of medicine, surgery and pharmacy, and other important facts in connection with general practice. At the conclusion of the address, reports from the secretary, treasurer, State and local society, standing committees, the enrolling of members and the appointment of new committees, etc., were despatched. The Local committee, through its chairman, Dr. R. Emmett Jones, announced the social program which had been provided outside the local program.
At the Tuesday afternoon session, President John E. Hunter, of Lexington, Ky., delivered his annual address, extracts from which follow:
"The advent of the Negra doctors was in magnitude, next to freedom, an unold blessing. Since the colored doctors proper have had in the duch which has been done them to get their proper training, superstition that once characterized many of them, and to put them in better states of mind to properly consider teachings and examples that have lifted them to higher levels of knowledge. We are not here to provide sufficient to make the quick take to the woods. Far from it. For we had to teach many lessons, both by, precept and example, to show that we were "sure enough doctors" and that we had all of our scientific knowledge thrown aside, and the quick given the "right of way," in our early practice! Not very long ago, this summer, yes, since I remembered to write this paper, I was reminded to the fact that all superstition is not yet dead.
"A young man of a fairly well informed family of my city was badly lacerated by a violent dog, and was sent to my office for treatment. The wounds were made as large as the dog's paws, and the boy sent home. On the next morning my 'phone rang, and I answered. The sweet voice of a graduate of the past spring came over it. It telling me that her mother knew if she would not be well for them to get married, hair of the dog and apply to the wound.
"Have the colored doctors been a great help in relieving the suffering and lowering the mortality rate of their race? Their birth was a period of twenty years with answer than question. The colored doctors have not only given bedside advice in cases of sickness, but they have gone into all kinds of places in which our people dwell and tried to teach them how to obtain and keep their health, teach practical ways the essential laws of health.
"We cannot afford to be parasites in our profession, but must seek to become masters. All this is possible, if we only use the necessary means, of which contact is the most important to remember that the man who thinks he must receive a education is completed when he receives his diploma at a medical college, will never add anything to the advancement of the profession Our
"We need organization. In 1864 the white doctors of this country took the best of a National organization, and formed the American Medical association. Seven years ago a few of the colored doctors country adapted to their best interests and needs peculiar to themselves and race, came together and formed the National Medical association. What, the American Medical association has been to its members, will maintain and grow. By reason of the American Medical association and its component parts, the State and county organizations, the profession of medicine has been elevated to a high standing and likewise protected. All Legislation pertaining to the procedure is formulated by men who work and are members of medical bodies.
"We need to organize, not only for the purpose of promoting our profession, but also that we may become known to the world, and to the people of the world, by offering our company or firm the services of a skilled physician or surgeon in different parts of the country to do work, they find out who the competent men are through medical education, and always want to be in the city for more than sixteen years, and noticing the great amount of business done by one or two industrial insurance companies among the colored people, and always want to be a doctor who happened not to be a colored man. I took it upon myself a few weeks ago to write to the medical director of one or the largest industrial insurance company in the city, and in the last fifteen or twenty years many competent colored physicians had come into the field of medicine and in view of the fact that these companies were busy with the people. It would be no more than fair and a good business proposition to give these men of standing some work to do along that line. The director of the company, who was the one for the information, and explaining to me that they had never been in a position to find out much about colored physicians by reason of the fact that they very seldom work with the people, but assured me that in the future on my recommendation of good men in different parts of the country, they would have them make application and also vaccinate them, but assured me that they would not be considered. In fact, his letter, and his urgent request of me to keep him informed in regard to this matter, and also by sending an enclosed envelope, compiled in person, my copy of the letter, so you see it is necessary for us to organize."
Upon the recommendation of the local committee, Mr. George St. Julian Stephens, city editor of The Reformer, was elected the official reporter for the sessions of the convention. It may not be out of place here to state that unfortunately a young Afro-American, Mr. George E. Taylor, who does reporter work on one of the white evening dailies, though not in regular attendance at the sessions of the convention, made garbled reports of the doings of the convention for his paper, much to the disgust and dissatisfaction of the members, even after he had been politely asked not to report anything. Through these reports given out by him, the impression was made that in the election, of president there was a stormy scene and much excitement, when, in fact, there was neither.
At the afternoon session Tuesday several highly interesting papers were read by the doctors, as per program, previously arranged. At the "giving session it had been expected that his Honor, Mayor Carlton Mcarthy, would have made the address of welcome, but that gentleman sent a letter congratulatory and a phone message instead of showing up. Dr. Charles E. Wilder, on behalf of the Richmond Medical and Surgical society, extended an address of welcome; the Rev. Dr. D. W. Davis performed a similar function on behalf of the citizens of Richmond and C. H. Faxonx, on behalf of the Petersburg on behalf of the St. Medical and Surgical society. These addresses, which were made in most felicitous and happy veins, assured the M. D. S. D. D. S. and Phar. D.s that they were in the house of their friends. Responses equally as eloquent and happy were made by Drs. J. H. Holmes, Winchester, Ky.; W. E. Steers, Decatur, Ala.; and D. P. Reid, New York.
After these addresses, two papers were read and the gathering retired from labor to refreshments. In this connection it may be said that Richard and "Society" overall itself. Two entertainments had been arranged for the evening a smoker and card party at Central League hall by the lady managers of Central League hospital, and a reception by the ladies of the Richmond hospital at Price's hall. I shall not attempt to describe these functions; it suffices to say that they were the most brilliant social functions given in Richmond in recent years. The two balls are within three minutes' walk one of the other, and the doctors, "holly good follows," made more than one trip from the ballroom to the card party for cigars and a smoke, but "Mumm" was the word. And at supper each doctor demonstrated his adaptiness in clinics, for with Taxcoo or full dress, in lieu of operating gown, table knife in place of scapep, and Virginia country fried pulters and Sanibladd hams for subjects, they did themselves proud.
It should have been stated above that at the morging session Mrs. Maggie L. Walker, president of St. Luke Penny Savings bank, was presented to the association by Dr. John H. Holmes, formerly of Richmond, but now of Lexington, Ky. Mrs. Walker made a magnificent speech characteristic of her, which was warmly applauded by the doctors.
At the several sessions Wednesday and Thursday interesting papers were read and discussed. Wednesday evening a trolley ride was tendered to the doctors by the Yale compartment and pany. Thursday evening the C. & O. railway tendered the visitors a trip to Jamesboro, the Afro-American settlement about six miles below the city. Four coaches full went down.
At the palatial country home of Dr. R. Emmett Jones, which is at Jonesboro, an executive session of the association was held, at which time all reports were completed and the election of officers was held. Dr. R. Emmett Jones, Richmond, was elected president; Dr. A. W. Williams, Chicago, vice-president; Dr. J. A. Kenney, Tuskegee, secretary; Dr. E. Clarence Howard, Philadelphia, treasurer. Philadelphia was selected as the place of the meeting. The association then adjourned. Tuesday, night a banquet was tendered the visitors by the citizens at Price's ball, which ended one of the most successful as well as pleasant sessions of the association.
One of the oldest, best prepared and most generally discussed papers was that by Dr. O. B. R. Bowser of Richmond on "Tuberculosis" read at the Wednesday evening session.
Dr. John E. Hunter, the retiring president, made against excellent presiding officer, and by his tact and diplomacy averted what might have resulted in a serious rupture at the very beginning of the first session.
Thursday morning at Woman's League hospital and at Richmond hospital difficult operations were performed by several of the surgeons.
Dr. J. A. Kenney, the secretary, was the right man in the right place.
Delegates from New York read papers during the sessions, as follows; Dr. Wm. E. Lively, on "Health and Disease"; Dr. P. A. Johnson, on "The Development of Medical Science and the Relation the Negro Sustains to It"; Dr. W. H. Johnson, on "Syphilis, Including Syphilis of the Nervous System," and Dr. Charles Roberts, on "The Mouth's Study."

LITTLE PREJUDICE IN NEW YORK CITY.
Claim That Race Has All Opportunities of Other People Rough Element from South Causes Some Difficulty. But This is Temporary and Adventitious.
To the Editor of THE NEW YORK AGE:
The National Negro Business League quite generally absorbed the attention of the city of New York the week before last; that is, as nearly absorbed it as is possible to absorb the attention of so great a city; for undoubtedly there are many, very many, indeed, to-day who do not know that any such convention has been held only three Sundays ago. I addressed a young people's society in a colored church where were present many who enter into the activities of the city's life, including three colored ministers; and yet not one present except myself knew that the League was to meet here on August 16, 17 and 18.
There is nothing unusual in this. The great conventions of the church, of various world-wide organizations, meet here and thousands of delegates are present, yet the ordinary citizen knows nothing of it until he picks up his morning paper. Only such an event as the return of Admiral Dewey, or a National celebration convulses New York city. It takes something awfully heavy to stir New York city. Even the "race riots" that have had so much of the country's attention recently, have only been known to the balance of the people outside the particular district in which the riot occurred through the publication of the morning or evening papers. It was just this knowledge of the great capacity of this city to swallow up, or down, everything like a National convention that made me in the very beginning oppose bringing the convention to New York City. But now that the thing has passed away in such a blaze of the truth such a success, I am glad of the fact that our good friends have been here. We have learned something of each other, race laws have strengthened, the mercantile manufacturing, producing and professional activities of the race strengthened and increased, and the determination to do something worthy has entered, perhaps for the first time, into the breasts of the young fellows who have wasted so much time about here looking for a position or a job. The good wrought here by the convention cannot be told in figures, but by the sign of infinity, incalculable, increasing over and over and ever as time goes on and space permits. That city is indeed fortunate where assembles the National Negro Business League.
To me the most surprising thing, a wonderful revelation, was a fact, or an best a statement, given by a New York city delegate as a reason for the existence of and support of his company that in the city of New York when a Negro wishes to rent a store it is necessary to get the consent of the storekeepers in the whole block before he will be allowed to rent it. Now, isn't it wonderful that I, who have rented many stores in the city of New York in the past thirty-five years, and offices many, and have known of others of our race renting both offices and stores, should, for the first time, have learned of such conditions here, from a comparatively new citizen of the town? Think of the fact, that I have rented stores in ten different localities myself, without such experience. Think of the four different restaurants formerly kept by colored men on Broadway, the best and most costly businesses highway in the world, various streets, the West Broadway, Sullivan street, Blocker street, Grand street, Lawrence street, Broad street, West street, and many, many lesser well-known streets, and of the offices now occupied in the very best of the modern skyscrapers; as for instance, those occupied the Afro-American Realty company, the Metropolitan Merantile and Realty company, many lawyers too numerous to mention, by THE NEW YORK AGE, The Colored American Magazine, and the scores of less advertised places. Yet, it has never come to my knowledge till now that either one or all of us have been obliged to get the consent of the whole block before we could rent our places. That I, should absolutely forget my own troubles and trials, in that direction, and that no one of my acquaintances has ever mentioned his troubles of this part to me seems almost incredible; but that speaker said that such are our troubles and trials here.
Perhaps, though, he was simply joking, or endeavoring to make a deeply colored setting for the picture he wished to paint, showing the necessity for his company. The freedom with which the delegates moved about the city and the welcome by storekeepers, saloon keepers, hotel-keepers, public gardens, concert hall, etc., must, however, have presented the fact to their vision that 'New York
is a pretty good city, a free city, where public sentiment is in as advanced a state as in any city in this Union. No, indeed, the colored people by this evidence can obtain in New York whatever is conceded others. That they do not have to be nor are huddled in particular neighborhoods is evidenced by a visit to any public school in this city. There are about four hundred and fifty public schools in New York city, and I doubt very much whether there is one, in all the three hundred and twenty-seven square miles, in which there is not a colored child. That will prove, at least, that the colored people, inasmuch as children must go to school in the district where they live, are pretty well scattered, very generally scattered, and that it isn't at all necessary to form companies in order to house our colored citizens. But remember, this isn't saying that the formation of such a company or companies is not an excellent and useful thing.
I do, however, want every one to know and to believe that this city of New York is one of the best and most liberal cities in this country. Conditions here are excellent, and offer to all men an opportunity to earn a living. The Italian has been selling peanuts and bananas here and building houses upon the proceeds for the past thirty years, and the Negro can do the very same thing upon equities, if he will. In the pursuit of business he can stand where he likes or has the money to hire and locate. True, forty years ago there were but about five thousand colored people in New York city men are about sixty-six thousand now, almost all the increase coming from South, largely from districts where much noise did not disturb neighbors, nor the appearance of armed hair-mattresses at the openings of the cabins seem objectiveable. These people have added somewhat to our troubles in the matter of renting houses, but it is a thing to be looked for in the adjustment of official affairs to new conditions, of new factors entering into the problem to be solved. Such people are giving us temporarily some troubles, but it will not last; the public school and the church will polish off their roughness and do for them what has already been done for fully as rough and unaccomplished as class as those, who once were to be found in the districts all round Jamaica Bay, and in Flatbush, Jamaica and Camerie, as rough and unaccomplished a crowd as ever were found in any section of the South; redoubled, rumdrinking Negros, full-blooded, Negro Indians and half-castes, the last being the most degraded. If there is any lower specimen of human kind than the Negro Indians that Long Island was infested with years ago, he ought to be put on exhibition, and yet even that low-bred, dirty fellow has been either wiped out raised to the common level of citizenship, so people can remain rough and unaccomplished who are pressed against the grimdest and polishing belt of a great American city, they will be either polished or killed off in a single generation. Your polished Irish citizen of today is the son of a rough, uncouth emigrant of several years ago; the same is true of your polished German American, Italian-American or other hyphenated American. I can point out hundreds, of such Americans who were in my boyhood days as rough and unaccomplished, those country Negros who are flocking into New York city and other northern cities. One generation has suffered to polish them, and one generation will polish these Negroes, too. Isolate either of these races, as in the Sea Islands about South Carolina, and many generations may pass before their upilting will be brought about; but not so in contact with the unilting, polishing forces of a great city like this. There are no Negroes in New York city as low and degraded as those already mentioned as living around Jamaica Bay. We have either polished or killed off those in two generations, and we will polish the others in a single generation so that none may be ashamed to live beside them. It is, nevertheless, necessary that these Negroes be possessed of the spirit of the members of the Business League who have visited us and given such amazing evidence of the Negro ability to enter into the business activities of the whole country.

Hundreds of Visiting Delegates Wonder at Race's Business Achievements in Confederacy's Capital-True Reformers to Hold 8th Annual Session Next Week—News About Well-Known Richmond.
RICHMOND, Va., August 28.—For the past three weeks Richmond has been the Mexica of Afro-American business and professional people, and the pilgrimage will not cease till the first week in September. First came the annual session of the grand council of the Independent Order of St. Luke, which brought about five hundred delegates and visitors from various points in the North, East and South and from as far West as Ohio. This body was in session five days. The sessions were harmonious and the reports showed that every branch of the work was being rapidly developed—the department store, bank, printing plant and the fraternal department.
Last week came the National Medical association. And those gentlemen, many of whom had never before visited the Citadel of the Confederacy, were surprised to find the marvulous prosperity and business push which permeated the Afro-American people at every turn. Dr. George C. Hall, of Chicago, after going through the general offices and the printing plant of the True Reformers, said the half had not been told of the progress of the colored people of Richmond.
This week the Lott Currey Foraging Missionary society meets here. This body is National in scope and will bring preachers and church workers among the Baptists from every section of the country.
The first week in September will bring the True Reformers, who will hold their twenty-fifth annual session. Some five or six hundred delegates will attend this meeting.
The delegates who attended the Business League meeting in New York have all returned to the city, all highly pleased with the success of the meeting and the hospitality shown them by the New Yorkers.
Dr. R. E. Jefferson and Messrs. John Mitchell, Jr., and Thomas M. Crump are in Pittsburgh attending the big Pythian meeting in that city.
Miss Rowena Perrin, of Tampa, Fl., is visiting Mrs. I. J. Miller.
Dr. J. G. Royd, a well known barber and chiropistol, died last Thursday night. The funeral took place from St. Philip's P. E. church Sunday afternoon at 4:30 o'clock.
Miss Ellie Stanford, who has been spending several months in New York, has returned home. In company with Miss Stanford is Miss Lottie Johnson of the metropolis.
The Rev. W. H. White, pastor of Mt. Carmel Baptist church, is visiting points in New York and New England, enjoying a much needed vacation.
Mr. Charles T. Russell, superintendent of carpentry and cabinetry making at Tuskegee, passed through the city last week to Charlottesville, where his wife and little daughter are visiting. Before returning to Tuskegee, Mr. Russell will visit his mother, Mary Russell of this city.
The marriage of Professor Charles E. Mitchell to Miss Bessie Lee Murray is announced to take place September 5. Prof. Mitchell was founder and principal of Richmond Business college and is now an instructor in the West Virginia institute at Charleston. Miss Murray is a popular school teacher in the Richmond schools. Mrs. A. W. Pegues, of Raleigh, N. C., has returned home after a pleasant visit to her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Wallace R. Christian. Mrs. A. W. Forster continues quite ill at her home in North Second street. Mrs. William Ellis, Jr., died last Friday at her residence in West Jackson street. The funeral took place from the Second Baptist church Sunday morning. Mr. Frank W. Harris, attache of the Philadelphia postmaster, spent a couple of weeks in Richmond and a resident of Richmond and has many friends here who were delighted to see him.
Mrs. Nannie Rudlin Brown, wife of Editor E. W. Brown, of The Reform, has been seriously ill for the past six months. She is a lady of most lovable disposition and has the sympathy of a large circle of friends.
Mrs. Lessa Sampson Johnson has returned to the city from a most pleasant trip to Philadelphia and Atlantic City. Mrs. Frances Sampson of Washington, D.C. is the guest of her daughter, Miss Lottie P. James, at Hotel Reform. Drs. R. E. Jones, H. L. Harris, J. M. Benson and D. A. Ferguson are being warmly congratulated for the very cellent manner in which they arranged for the reception of the doctors who were present here this week.
Miss Bertha Walton has returned to the city from a visit of two months to Buffalo, N. Y.
Mrs. Fannie Oliver is visiting her parents, the Rev. and Mrs. William Troy, of Cambridge, N. J.

HISTORY. MASS. August 28. When we were in New York the other day we opened our morning Sun upon a mighty interesting article, copied into that paper from The Confederate Veteran. It was written by a Southern woman and is entitled, "A Monument to Slaves." It is one of those articles which no one but a Southern woman could have possibly written so peculiarly Southern it is—no one but a Southern woman of the slave-holding class. The author represents a type of Southern womanhood that is fast becoming extinct—the type of the old mistress class before the war. As the surviving members of that class look backward upon the years preceding the colonial attempt of their fathers, husbands, and brothers to found a government whose chief corner-stone was to be not freedom, democracy, but slavery, the invariability of a race for all time, they invariably become enamored of the view. The old Southern colony looked at through the eyes of her century becomes a land of romance of enchantment. But it is not the first time where distance is able to lend enchantment, an air of romantic interest, which, when seen close at hand fail enchant at all, fail utterly in romance.
We do not know what sort of a mistress Miss Mary M. Solarili was, if in her reaches back to that period, or what of a mistress her mother was, or another, for that matter. They have been kind, very humane to the slaves—to the house servant class of the slaves, we mean, for with the patient class they probably had very little. But we are pleased all the slaves her line, enthusiastic tribute to the dead Negroes of the times be-

they could work and suffer

expresses it:

W I know, is as white as snow,
W the rarest gold.

H: I am a fair as the day;

Now this is all very well in the retro-
tory of the beauty of its sentiment. It
is in the main a just tribute to
theation of the slaves to the wives
of the children of their mistress at a time
in the masters were absent from their
lighting with might and main to
lose very slaves and their descend-
ance of perpetual bondage. We
know in the years to come how
descendants of those slaves will come
and such conduct on the part of
ancestors. We do not believe, how-
that it will be ciled by them as a
murder of a group of slaves. In any race capable of such des-
sult circumstances to the

a race whose every

And when we discover in the history of the which we belong a time when was no such spark, but only tamen to centuries of wrong, we proud of that race, not certainly a particular period of its history it was devoting itself to the caretenance of the people who were with might and main to keep it race forever.

white and survivors or de-
the old master class of the
should feel precisely as Miss
about the fidelity of the
military service of the masters and masters of the masters and masters of the masters in every kingdom were beaten and two pounds of gold was thrown at the mouth of the warrior. There is not one instance where those slaves abused the trust reported in them by the masters, by the women and children of those masters. Those women and children were as safe in the midst of the slaves as they were before the masters went to the war. Not a crime has been recorded during the period of the masters entered abnorm, committed by a single slave against a single defenceless white woman or child. In contrast these white women and children were cherished faithfully by the slave fed and clothed and given such devoted service as has never been paralleled in the history of the world.
Were we white, a Southern white man, we should indeed be infinitely grateful to such a people for such priceless fidelity and service. We would seek to express this infinite gratitude in some other form than mere words, in acts of kindness and justice looking to the betterment of the social, industrial, educational, civil, and political condition of the race that placed us and ours under such deep and lasting obligations. As as fate would have it, we were not white, a Southern white man, after the war. And so we had no chance to show in deeds our everlasting gratitude to the ex-slayers. But since we were colored this chance was denied us, which so many white people had instead.
How, pray, did these other people who were white and had the chance use the opportunity which came to them after the war to signalize their appreciation, their gratitude, to the race that had served them and theirs with such unsurpassed fidelity and devotion? They got together in conventions and legislatures all over the South and by all manner of fuel and unequal laws attempted to reshape to slavery the very people who had served them and theirs so well and faithfully. There were people which they did not try to do to their ex-slaves by wicked and inhuman legislation. The condition in which the colored people of the South found themselves in consequence of this legislation was in some respects more abominable than the state of slavery out of which they had just escaped at the end of the war. If the fidelity and devotion of the slaves emphasized anything recorded in the world's history, the base ingratitude, the burial return made by the masters to the night after the service was received by their chores when it was still fresh in every of the minds, hainned been equalled in moral perseverance in sheer unadulterated selfishness and iniquity in the universal history of man's humanity to man.
And since those first years those muggers have gone on returning to this poor and submissive race' evil for good. If anybody doubts this let him look at those states which have taken from this race the institutional device, and at those other states which have some other device equally effective. Let him look at the "Jim Crow" cars of the South whose sole purpose is to insult the colored people, to humiliate them by a system of informal cruelty inflicted whenever they have occasion to use the public space to travel and entertainment. Everybody has to wear with love, kindness, but with the "thus far and further" of caste hatred, of race persecution.
In face of this damning record of post-bellum wrong and oppression of the Negro by the South, what must one think of the claim of Miss Solari, who suggests a monument to the slaves, to prove among other things "that the men of the South are the Negro's best friends today?" What must one think of the sincerity of the writer, of her actual friend, of the Negro's slave, of the slave she love the midnight Negro? Is it because he is dead Negro, because a dead Negro is the host Negro, and yet again because a dead Negro gives the South no trouble, makes for the South no race problem? Does this Southern woman who professes such vast appreciation of the slaves have not even a word to say in protest against the cruelty and irregularity of unequal laws which hinder and hurt the descendants of themselves slaves all over her beautiful Southland and looking to the righting of wrongs which no people however poor, ignorant and weak ought to suffer at the hands of a boastfully Christian and civilized Nation, which no such boastfully Christian and civilized Nation ought to permit any part of itself to commit.
What does Miss Solari think of the disfranchisement of the Negro? Does she think it bad or good? What does she think about Southern "Jim Crow" laws? Does she think them bad or good? What does she think of lynching the Negro for the alleged usual crime or for any other crime? Does she think bad or good? What does she think of the South to put the Negro down and to keep him down below the social, civil, political and industrial level of the laws; and most worthless of the whites? Does she think such a purpose bad or good? If she thinks them all bad then why does she not say so, say so aloud and with no uncertain sound? If she thinks them all good, then we have a right to distrust her motive, her friendship for the Negro—her glowing proposition to build a movement commemorate the women and children of the South during the war to the contrary notwithstanding. We say to her and to those like her, we want no monument which is intended to mark forever not the friendship, the brotherhood, of two races, but rather the unchangeable superiority of the former master race and the unchangeable inferiority of the former black race. No, the best, the grandest, the most enduring monument which the South can possibly raise so to show she is the democratic the dishigligent community of the women laws, and of just and equal administration of those laws, regardless of race, color or previous condition of servitude. What does Miss Solari think? "The lady doth protest too much methinks."

Regular Correspondence of THE AMP. ATLANTA, Ga., August 26.—This is the day of the demagogue in the South. He is in the middle and is riding rough sheet wherever it pleases his fancy to go. Hoke Smith, Secretary of the Interior under President Cleveland, is making the race for Governor of Georgia, the chief planks of his platform being opposition to railroads and Afro-American. He of course has a right to fight both these natural and artificial citizens as much as he pleases, but it would seem that there is no necessity for him to resort to such demagogism as he is using in making this light. In opposing the railroad corporations, he puts forth the startling declaration that he believes no foreign corporation should be allowed to do business within the limits of the State; and for further foreign corporations would be made to sell their holdings to citizens of the State and that corporations should be owned, operated and managed solely by residents.
He is not content with domestication in this State of railroads chartered in other States, but by some peculiar stretch of his imagination seems willing to prohibit their working in this State unless their stock is owned, as was said, by residents. He has goope, in his ambition to reach the Governor's chair, to the extent of saying that these corporations have been managed by Georgians. All of this trade against railroads appears peculiar, because of the many months ago that Mr. Smith was appointed the embodiment of the corporation idea with all of its octopus tentacles. So much for Mr. Smith's views of corporations.
So far as the Afro-American is concerned, he is trying to go a step further than any other candidate would have the tenacity to do. He not only favors disfranchisement of all Afro-Americans without regard to property or educational qualifications, but tells it on the stump that he favors a law deporting to Liberia such as would agitate in favor of retaining softwear right.
Fanny Mr. Smith: The Afro-American can who expresses a desire to vote would be shipped across distant seas. There is left but one thing further for this general material candidate to favor with reference to the Afro-American, and that is a law to prevent him from thinking about voting. Judging by the facility with which Mr. Smith advocates all other radical measures, it can readily be seen that he might also favor this latter prescription against the man and brother. It would all be amusing if it were not for the fact that the ex-Secretary of the Interior draws attentive audiences when he is pouring out this tumoury. It would be a reflection on Anglo-Saxon Superiority and intelligence, as we have been taught it, but that the applauding audiences really stock in Mr. Smith's absurdities. We shall, then the charity of saying that they are only "polying a good thing" by way of cold summer diversion, and let it go at that.
It is just as preposterous for Mr. Smith to run foreign capital out of State of Georgia as it is to run a black man to Africa. Mr. Smith himself knows that he is joking if some of his audience do not. But the pity and wonder of it all is that white men who ought to and do know better should stoop to the point to indulge in that kind of argument.
Mention was made in this correspondence sometimes since of the pendency of a bill in the Georgia legislation seeking to abolish the colored militia of the State. The bill has just been passed and signed by the Governor and wipes out the five most militant companies located in different states in the State. One of the most powerful interests pending to its passage was the aggressive shown by First Lieutenant L. S. D. Rucker, Jr. of the 6th United States infantry. On the day audience was given colored men to speak to the committee against the passage of the bill, the same Lieutenant Rucker was everywhere in evidence in the committee room doing what he could to have the black soldiers unstretched out. It was a revolving specimen unstretched out. The M.A. Americans to see the almost exact model that this United States other displayed against a people for no other reason than that they were black.
The Afro-Americans might have believed that the interest displayed by the officers of the State troops in favor of the passage of the bill was because, as was stated by one of them, the white troops "moved the money" but on what grounds could be predicated the action of this regular army officer, whose uniform was not a pre-eminent paid for by the citizens of the armed forces was a reflection on the personnel of the regular army and it savored very strongly of inferiority of manly Samina in one who ought to do the fighting for the country, if any is ever to be done. What sort of a show would an army, officered by warm headed and prejudiced men, hold against an aggressive and patriotic enemy? The sight brought up the impression that the officer or not there were many others in the regular army like this lieutenant. After all, what harm could have come of retaining the black militia?
There were not many of them; they were as well disciplined as the whites and did about as much good as the whites. Be it remembered that on a certain day last year, the white militia was called upon to conserve the peace at Statesboro in this State, and in the Baldock Balloon Lost it be forgotten, it shall be added the man, the white militia promptly hand over their unbounded guns to the mob when requested to do so. Could black troops have done less?
When the white State troops were on their way to a bloodless battle field for drill and tactic development and sham battle display, insensitive persons at railway stations who were looking with admiring eyes on the future defenders of the country, biped eyes knocked out and skull cracked, and many bars near the American troops had pulled. Could Africa American troops have helped United States furnishes the money to equip these rainy-day soldiers, or at least the most of it, and it will not cease to be a wonder to many of us why the people's good, hard dollars go for purposes of discrimination such as this. It may be allright to the heads of the departments and even to Congress, but it seems a little queer to others of us, sitting in the committee room where the men were doing more fighting against citizen of the country, ever will do against' its enemies, the thought naturally nrose as to the cause of his activity. Would a British, a French or a German army officer have been found doing this sort of thing? Was this officer representing the regular army, and had he been ordered to this committee room for the purpose of showing why Mack men should not be soldiers? Does the Government stand for this sort of thing? A great deal of the credit, if any, is credited about the disbanding of the troop去 to Lieutenant Rucker of the regular army. THOMAS H. MAJONE

An Illuminating Book
BY WM. A. SINCLAIR, A. M., M. D.
(With an introduction by Colonel Thomas
Wentworth Higginson, Smalls, Maynard&Co.
Publishers, Boston, Mass. Net $1,50,
postage, 12 cents extra.)
This book is in a full and complete defence of
the civil and political rights of the Negro,
and shows that in war services to the Nation,
in war services to the Nation, and in
full American citizenship. It should be in
every colored home.
A Few of the Many Press Notices
The Chicago Tribune:—"This book is one of the most intelligent and enlightening historical essays on the subject that has appeared. As a whole it is in strong, righteous, wise, and timely discussion of one of the most vitally important sociological problems that confront the American people."
The Boston Transcript:—"Dr. Sinclair 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:—"It is a work that is particularly moral. The book is timely, ardent, and fairly written, and should prove of interest to the readers of both mees concerned.
The Columbin (S. C.) State:—"The book possesses 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 earnestly but calmly and with fragrance, intelligence and philosophic spirit the essential elements of what is commonly termed the Negro question." He is fair and plain-spoken in his plea in behalf of his race, which he contends, is entitled to a larger measure of justice, sympathy and encouragement than it has yet received, and he makes out a case which reasonable men will recognize as deserving.

New York; Mayoralty; Candidates
The Afro-American citizens of Great
New York are as much interested in
good government as any other race element of the citizenship; in some respects they are more so. In the face of this fact, however, they do not have any voice in selecting municipal candidates, because they have no organization—as have the Germans, Italians, and the like—through which they may be reached and controlled for their own good. This is their fault as well as their misfortune, as the TAG has insisted) pointed out for eighteen years. Nonetheless, when others have made the combinations and selected the candidates, Afro-Americans have been expected to fall into line and support the Fusion ticket endorsed by the Republican, organization. They did this in the case of Mayor Strong and Seth Low, and got a kick from both those men for doing it.
Robert Fulton Cutting is the boss of the Citizen's Union and usually selects the candidates which the Republican or organization endorses. Just now he is bending all of his force to secure the nomination of William Travers Jerome for Mayor, and the Republican organization may endorse him. Now, Mr. Jerome is a Democrat. He is honest, but New York is full of honest men. As District Attorney he has done many wise and many unwise things. As far as Afro-Americans are concerned, he has done about as he would in dealing with whitenem who had business with his department. We have nothing against him, except that he is a Democrat and that he will be put forward by the Citizen's Union, which has nothing whatever to do with Afro-Americans. If Mr. Jerome should be nominated for Mayor and endorsed by the Republican organization, the Afro-American voters will be left free to vote as they please, the choice being simply between two Democrats.
Mayor George B. McClellan will be renominated by Tannamy Hall. He is a gentleman and scholar, and he has given New York as good administration of its affairs as it has ever had. There is no substantial reason why he should not succeed himself, except that he is a Tannamy man, and that is no great discredit under the leadership of Charles Murphy, who is as clean in his way as Ross Cutting is in his way. As a matter of fact, during the past five years Tannamy Hall has appointed and kept in office, and has in office now, more Afro-Americans than were appointed and kept in office by the Strong and Soth Low Fusion administrations in their combined control of city affairs. Indeed, neither Mayor Strong or Mayor Low would appoint an Afro-American to an important position, and removed those who had been appointed by the Tannamy Hall administration.
In municipal affairs everybody looks out for himself, and the Afro-American citizens should look out for theirs. If they do not do so they will get nothing. THE AGE has no confidence whatever in the Fusion crowd to do the fair thing, even if it should gain control of the city government. If the Republican party nominates a straight ticket we shall support it. If it endorses a Fusion ticket we shall—have to think it over.

Domestic Service Problem.
During the meeting of the Business League in New York Mr. Oswald Garrison Villard of The Evening Post, one of the best and strongest newspaper friends the Afro-American people have read a thoughtful and helpful paper on domestic service, which was greatly appreciated by the immense audience that heard it. The paper was discussed by Judge Robert H. Terrell and Dr. John R. Francis of the District of Columbia, Mr. Charles H. Trooks of Philadelphia, Mr. T. Thomas Fortune of New York and others. Judge Terrell and Mr. Fortune took the position that the race has steadily lost ground in domestic service occupations, being supplanted by white foreigners, and they attributed this misfortune not to race prejudice, but to inefficient labor and neglect of work. Both Judge Terrell and Mr. Fortune stand by the position they took in the discussion. By pointing out the disagreeable fact and the unfortunate reason for it they feel that they rendered the race a positive service.
A noisy lot of marpaints in Boston and Washington have been assailing Judge Terrell and Mr. Furtune, in the futile effort to prove that they are enemies of the race because of the views they expressed upon this question; but sensible people will not be deceived by the senseless babble. They will rather seek to assist in correcting the evil which is costing the race so much.
Trotterism and Iconoclasm Syn-
onymous.
The Afro-American citizens of New York, who entertained the members of the National Negro Business League so royally, and who know that the convention was one of the most thoughtful and dignified ever held here, will be shocked to learn that Dr. O. M. Waller of Kentucky is accused of being responsible for the long, false and distorted account of the proceedings of the convention published in The Boston Guardian.
Mr. T. Ann M. McCormick, the
chief executive of Dr. Wellesley's
school of public relations, the
Boston newspaper, Tenn. Ann M. public
his disclaimer. The great newspapers of
Greater New York, and the Associated
Press gave full and fair reports of the
proceedings, and the responsible newspapers of the whole country, in so far as they editorially discussed the question, were genetous and fair.
This being the case, the race at large will want to know what reason Dr. Walker had in sending such a scandalous report of the proceedings of the Business League convention to The Boston Guardian; and they will also want to know why that newspaper and a few others of its kidney seek industriously to lie about and to cripple the good work of the National Negro Business League, which has admitted done more than any other civic organization to stimulate and foster the business development of the Afro-American people.
The group of iconoclasts of which The Boston Guardian in the crazy center is doing more to discredit the good name of the Afro-American people in the eyes of deout mankind, and to hamper the progress of the race, than all of the Tillmans, Vardamans, and their sort, in the country.
Looking for an Afro-American Millionaire.
The following note has been received at this office from an anxious inquirer: "To the Editor of TUR NEW YORK Age: Please let me know if there is a colored millionaire in the United States, and oblige one interested in the colored race."
The inquiry came through such a reputable source as to preclude the natural suspicion of a "black hand" organization bent on kidnapping the putative millionaire or some of his family for a ransom, or the more vulgar supposition of vendors of gold bricks, green goods operators or any other form of confidence game. An answer was then sought to the question, that would be at once truthful and informing.
Editorial omniscience was obliged to acknowledge that it had no knowledge of individuals of the race that would come under such classification. While there are numbers in well-told circumstances, whose property holdings would reach over the $100,000 mark, there were no means of determining whether any of these would reach a million dollars. According to newspaper report, a resident of New Orleans, known as Thommy LaFam, died leaving an estate approaching the million dollar mark, which was devoted to charitable purposes, one of the schools in that city bearing his name. Then there is a wealthy capitalist of Cleveland, Ohio, whose long and busy life has been devoted to the pursuit of the Almighty Dollar, but it would require an appraisement of his estate under the authority of the Surrogate's Court, to arrive at any decisive result.
The men of the race who really have the dust, like many of their white brothers, are inclined to be modest about it and evade the tax assessor and charity solicitor with the same slay avoidance of publicity. The spurler and plunger, as a rule, are more largely hacked by hot air, than by solid bank balances or gifted investment securities. It may be that, unknown to fame, a millionaire or two might have been found in the recent meeting of the National Negro Business League and the motto-polis was thus entertaining an angel unwares. If the impiper in this case had pride special reference to the feminine possessors of little hive, a search of the assessment rolls of Manhattan Borough might have rewarded his inquiry with an affirmative answer.
Vexations of a Southern Divine in London City.
A tale of very tragic malign was that sent from the Baptist World congress meeting in London to The Atlanta Journal by Rev. Alexander W. Beader, a white Baptist preacher of Curtersville, Ga. This Southern divine, like the majority of his ilk, finds it possible to profess the ethics of the great-hearted Nazarene and to entertain at the same time the most contemptuous prejudice against all Afro-Americans. Very tragic to him and very mithful to us, therefore, was his experience at the congress, where he found himself, notwithstanding his—in his own eyes—axiomatic superiority to all Afro-Americans, relegated amicroniously to the rear, while they, the objects of his disdain, were kept in the full light-light by the admiring Londoners. Rev. Beader, in his article, does not disguise his mortification over his eclipse.
He begins in his article by thus splenetically venting his envy:
"Representatives are here from all over the world, but the Negro is the hero of the hour and the spectacle is presented of the British Lion and the Russian Bear fawning at the feet of Cuffy, all of which is very nauseating to the Southerners, to say the least of it. London people have out-Yanked the most rumpant Negro leavers in the North and have disgusted them." A hard blow to his Southern caste pride was received at a social gathering. In his description, of the "herof of the reception" we must make much allowance for the hypocrisy of vaxation.
"I want to a garden party and a reception tendered to 18, Alexander MacLoran, one of the greatest Baptists in England. There were 200 or more visitors there, and those of us from the South had a case of Negro that we will not soon forget. The hero of the reception was a great big swish-looking Negro man, weighing full three hundred pounds. His foot was big and that as a founder, his head was small and hammer-like, his ears little, his lips thick and his bay window immortal. His collar had wilted and his shirt beacon was wet and odoriferous."
Yet the unlucky Rev. Realer had to be a wall-flower and bite his nails in chagrin while
* * * * the British men and women crowded around him, shook his hand and asked questions * * * and made as much over him as we would make in the South over an immense porker which had been trained to talk."
He was a man of great intelligence and
in his life, Mr. Warner was the treasurer of
Maryannie Mistressough at Biggat park
and he nearly expects his exacerbation
to be shared by the notorious Tom
Dixon:
"Sunday afternoon there was a great open air- meeting in one of the parks under the Reformer's Tree. A number of Southern men were there, but the most fuss was made over a Negro woman. She sat on the atstand next to Dr. A. C. Dixon, of Boston. Rev. F. B. Meyer made a speech in which he pointed to Dr. Dixon and said he had traveled in the States and knew something of conditions there and he praised the Lord that he seen Dr. Dixon sitting next to a Negro woman and among Negro men in a meeting. He knew it was a marvel by the grace of God. Tom Dixon has yet been heard from. Some fine addresses were made, but the wild over the harumage of the woman and it was pronounced auch by those who heard it. The English chairman referred to it several times in his remarks and had Mr. Gladstone close from the dead and spoken his words would have been nothing as compared to those that fell from the lips of this woman." Rev. Beauer found that the South's distrust of Russia is well-founded. He relates disgustedly:
"At the next to the last meeting of the congress Secretary Shakespeare made an announcement that will take away from Russia much of the little sympathy she has in the South. He announced that the Russian delegation, led by Baron Upponounceable, would entertain the Negro delegates at buncheon the next day. Mr. Shakespeare (2 man who has descended a good way from his Illustrous namesake) made the announcement with great gusto and it was greeted with wild applause." If Rev. Healer were not a clergyman, we should hardly know whether the more to pity him for his mean narrowness or laugh at him for his unconscious folly. As he is a professed divine, however, we fear that if Christ were on earth, Rev. Healer would not escape some of that terrible invective of which the Nazarene was master and which he emptied on the heads of the scribes and Pharisees, denouncing them as hypocrites and fools, and as "whited souplephens which appear beautiful outward, but are within full of dead men's bones and of all uncleanness."
We print in another column a letter from Manila which justly garbes to the appointment of Southern white men to commanding offices in the Philippines the widening gulf of distrust between the natives and the United States insular government. The desire of the white Americans in the Philippines to oppress the Philippines betrayed the Philippines Gospaf, a Manila weekly, the Philippines Gazipaf, a Manila weekly, the Miss Alice Roosevelt when she sledged Manila. The impertinence consisted in the publication of the following doctress, "very respectfully dedicated to Miss Alice Roosevelt."
Now that you are from home afar,
Entroute to our town.
Pardon. If we appear too free,
In laying our wishes down.
Now, please don't you treat the Gu-Gu
As though he were your peer.
As did Bill Taft, that saintman daft.
When he was Governor here.
These heathens small, with wondrous gall,
Now claim to be our equal.
Their nerve intense, their impudence,
Are of Taft's reign the sequel.
We hope to see that you will be
Quite thoughtful and discreet.
In all you say, throughout your stay.
To the natives you may meet.
And if, perchance at your spell dance,
You trend the enticing figures,
Don't place your chariers within the arms
of these contended Negroes.
They're oblivious studies, their cunning
wiles.
We know them all for sure.
For mankid don't they can't be laid
Upon this side of these.
Please don't go daft, as did Bill Taft,
About the thief's brown,
Or as those girl whose foolish, whit's
shocked old St. Louis town.
We know that you are a woman tree,
And at every time and place.
We hope to see that you will be
An example to your race.
The Boston Guardian has not the decency even to make an attempt to conceal its delight over the demandation which some rabid newspapers of the South are venting on Dr. Washington because of his dinner with Hon. John Wannmaker. If our contemporary did not instantaneously abdicate his senses whenever Washington or Tuskegee is named, he would perceive that in this matter Dr. Washington is suffering vicariously for the whole race: The South hopes to deal with high so severely as to discourage and blight liberty-loving sentiments in every one of us. In insulting him for diving with Mr. Wannmaker, the South insults all of us who have ever dined or ever will dine with a white person. How can The Guardian boost itself the great and only champion of the Afro-American people and at the same time jubilate over an insult to that people? Only hypocrisy or insanity can explain away this inconsistency.
The efforts of Mrs. Idia Wells Burnett to drag herself out of the obscurity into which the dead weight of her morbidity dragged her by lying about the only friends she ever had, as she does in an open letter to Bishop Walters denunciatory of the Afro-American counsell, will await her nothing. It is a bad thing for any person to possess the head of an egotist and the soul of an insholing and tradading Bishop Walters in life. Mafia members. Burnett will have the sympathy of mourners, not even of her good-tempered husband.
Afro-American companies of all sorts, with great big capitalizations, are holding up all over the country. It is no bad sign. It hinders that the race is on the more along lines where success means everything for the race. There will be some failures; that is inevitable and unavoidable, but some will be successes, and one good success offsets a half dozen failures.
The Nashville Daily American says that Mr. Fortune is noted for his "impudence and insolence." It all depends upon how the terms are defined. If standing up for what we consider to be right and just is regarded as "impudence and insolence," let it go at that.
The little Japa gave the big Rusalana a wild diplomatic chase at Portsmouth, even as they did in the war chase in the Far East. The race is not always to the big bluffer.

Regular Correspondence of THE ACA.
Chicago, Ill., August 28—In a previous
letter to THE ACA, I spoke of the in-
teresting work" begun by Mr. R. R.
Wright in the social settlement known as
Trinity mission.
A kindred movement of wider scope and quite novel in its plans and purposes is the Frederick Douglas center. For nearly two years this new center has been in process of development. Mrs. Cola Parker Woolley is the originator and promoter of this new institution for the general social betterment of the colored people of Chicago. Mrs. Woolley is one of the strong women of the present generation of progressive women. As preacher, lecturer, writer and club woman no one is better known, more respected and honored. I know of no woman in the country better fitted for an undertaking which calls for great courage, broad intelligence and wide acquaintance with the best forces of the day, than Mrs. Woolley. Better than all, she is a woman of great curiosity of vision without which nothing great or permanent can be accomplished.
For several years Mrs. Woolley has been brooding and thinking deeply over this never, never solved race problem. She has noticed, with increasing pain and humiliation, that notwithstanding all that has been accomplished by us for ourselves and for others, we have not increased and intensified. She has been an earnest student of the entire situation as it stands to day, and as it may stand for generations to come. Her studies have not been confined to the library. On the contrary, she has for years made it her business to come in touch with the colored people. She has mingled with the black people and has invited the more progressive of them to her home, and has accepted invitations to their homes, with the result that the more she has known of them by association and otherwise, the more she has liked and respected them; and with a real Harriet Becker-Stowe-spirit she has learned to live her life and conserve her talents to the cause of a more "unamic relation between the white and black people."
The basic principle of her philosophy on this question is that the white people are responsible for this race confusion, and that they must meet this responsibility more than half way; but the Golden Rule of the law must be recognized and felt as vital every step of the way; which is to say: that the thing, most needed is a propaganda that shall emphasize and make important whatever is best and most promising in the Negro character and attitude in the Negro race. Now, how can this social uplift be achieved? Certainly not through politics alone, through the church alone, or through the mere letter of the law. All these things are too much allied to the past and overburdened with the incrustation of prejudice, caste and conservation.
The social settlement plan seems to be the best means of effecting social results for human betterment. It is not enough to preach to men and women, because few of them believe what is preached and ask what is practiced what they pretend to believe. More men think that they are participating in the government by merelyasting a ballot into the ballot box. In fact, the effect of their vote solemn reaches to the point of social betterment. The supreme thing needed is an opportunity for a better arrangement through immediate social and intellectual education, which is only half known. For these and further and better reasons, the generous purposes of Mrs. Woolley have been crystallized into a social settlement, bearing the inspiring name of the Frederick Dougherty center. The association has been incorporated under the laws of the United States, and is present at half the other officers are white and half are colored.
The membership of the association numbers over 200 two thirds of those being white. One of the most encouraging things about this movement is the large number of prominent citizens of Chicago, who are members of the association, an opportunity to join in this movement. Judges of the higher courts, prominent lawyers, leading physicians, school teachers, university men and women, members of the faculty as well as students, prominent women prominent in club and society, newspaper publishers are included in its membership. I know of no movement of recent origin in our behalf the personnel of whose membership is so large as to constitute as that of the Donghua center, women prominent are to be found the names of Dr. Booker T. Washington and Prof. Du Bois, the author of "The Souls of the Black Folks." The following is a condensed statement of the publication of principles and purposes: "To promote a just and amenable relation between the white and black people. To remove the disabilities from which the people suffer in civil, political and industrial life. To encourage equal opportunity, free speech of race, color or other arbitrary distinctions."
"To establish a center of friendly helpfulness and influence, in which to gather useful information and for mutual cooperation and for right living and a higher citizenship." The center hopes to house itself soon in quarters of its own, near the colored district. Its work is distinctly practical on the following lines:
1. Mothers' meetings, in the interest of the home.
Mothers' meetings, for the disabled.
II. Father's meetings, for the discussion of information, a neglectful topic.
III. boys' workshop
IV. Classes in cooking, dressmaking, etc.
V. Club work for intellectual and moral culture.
VI. Domestic employment agency.
VII. Improvement of the conditions of living under the department of sanitation, housing, etc.
VIII. A class for instruction in good eft
bengish under the department of efts.
beneath under the department of clerk.
Although this association has been incorporated separately at year, it has an important role in how much money are earned are those who stand out. It's starting without any money, it has readily secured sufficient financial aid to enable it to purchase a suitable home for its work on Walesch avenue near 31st St. It is one of the "black belt." It is a three-story and adequately furnished with pictures, books and many conveniences for carrying on the work as above set forth. Generous aid has come to the center, both those who can well afford to give us who need those who can little afford to spare any of their scant belongings.
Mrs. Woolley recognizes that what is most needed is service that shall repre-
nate the maximum of sacrifice of time by busy and hard work, but pre-eminently a work of love. If it can have all the time this kind of service, the movement is deattained to accomplish much of the work of the many of our public men have valued this service and after talking with Mrs. Woolley
the central purpose of the movement is to promote a just and amenable society, and colored people. This declaration might well be called The Golden Rule of this movement. Can this be done? If so, it means the solvent, if there be such a thing, of the race problem.
FANNIE BARRIE WILLIAMS.
ALIENATING THE PILIPINOS.
Procluse of Southerners Digging Gull Between Natives and Government.
To the Editor of THE NEW YORK ACE:
In attempting the solution of the great problem of preparing the Filipinos for self-government, there is one most vital point which seems to have escaped the eye of the home government.
It is well known, or should be known, that the first step necessary to the accomplishment of our declared object should be to gain the confidence and good will of the people. This must be the foundation of all our efforts. Without it no success is possible.
The point which seems to have been overlooked by the home government, or rather the fatal error which underlies our present theory, is the appointment of so large a percentage of Southern whites to responsible positions in the Islands. Unlike the whites from the North, the Southerner is naturally narrow-minded and arrogant in his dealings with colored races, and his strong and pliant attitude, with few exceptions, an undesirable reddent in the Islands. By reason of the majority of Americans in the Philippines are not so narrow-minded, their contempt and antagonism toward the natives is so pronounced, the reins of the government must be almost entirely in the hands of Northern Americans to some degree the hard feeling caused by the presence of so many Southerners. While the race prejudice by no means free from race prejudice, they are minded and are able to control their sentiments where the reputation of the Nation's Southern man also means well and would do his share of the great work before us, but he is simply unable to control his passions in his judgment at the most vital moment.
The effect has been a natural one. The Filipinos are already beginning to protest against tace prejudice through the columns and resort to acutely sensitive and resort the open content them by a certain class of Americans. As a title, the Northern man with his usual disdain for the Filipino and shows some regard for the life of the Filipinos to some terms of centuries. He does not expect to pull old customs out by the roots in a single hit. He deals tactfully with the likes of狄菲尼 and to win their confidence, pointing out their errors in a gentle manner to avoid ferrors.
Whatever may be said to the contrary between persons of job-mobilized sentiments, it is perhaps the relations between the natives and American farmers that aren't as cordial as they were two years ago and the situation seems to grow worse as and when the government is not cooperating with the government. The problem is on an opposite effect. The people in these are plaintly visible in the columns of the newspaper, and they seem to have lost confidence in the late inventions of the United States. Why?
the Southernners who, by lack of well-defined are responsible for the breach that has been committed and between the government and the people. F. Frank, Manila, P. L, July 25, 1998.
GRANDFATHER CLAUSES.
Subterfuges That Excite Indignation of
All Deceased Men.
Secretary Bonaparte, in his address to the Ancient Order of Hibernians in Baltimore, draws a very striking and felicitous parallel between the "Know Nothing" agitation of half a century ago and the "grandfather classes" which have been put in the legislation of certain Southern States, and which an effort is now making to put into the legislation of Maryland. The "Know Nothings," says Mr. Bonaparte, maintained than an American whose grandfather was an American and had a better right to vote and to be involved than the American whose grandfather, and that the American father or whose self, had been abroad.
The present legislation in the South for exemption from the requirements, as to education property, or what not, which a State has has to impose as a condition of softship, or an exemption to release whites from these arrangements at the expense of blocks. It attempts to disfranchise by indirection voters from disfranchised directly, to do frondlessly. Decemnt men everywhere will take Mr. Bonaparte's indignation at it.
Example for Race Journalism.
From the A. M. E. Zion Quarterly Review, Editor T. A. Methuselove Fortune has certainly wrought great changes in THE New York Age in the last few months. It's virtually new in style, matter and make-up, besides being enlarged to an eight-page, six-column paper, instead of a four-page, eight-column one as hitherto. The matter covers the news and the news of general race interest. The Times was never stronger, raiser, or clearer, and its freedom from personal abuse is an ex-

We, unlike most of our Ame A. delegates, were anxious to see one man of mark of our own, London, that far-off city, so we were invited to the urb of the great metropolis, the best, home-like residence of the composer of "Hawatain," Mr. S. Judge-Taylor. We were given a room and his two lovely children, an amazed with what met our tering their parlor. We say cause the sight was most A. We were in Dublin, so somebody framed on the mantle of the fde of Dr. Courtney's farewell handsome photo of President K. with his personal compliments of his own hand to Mr. Taylor, his beloved husband, and his tton, D.

It is our earnest, able and element.
We were profoundly impressed by the Englishman's admiration of Dr. Washington. At the Uxbridge Royalist church, where I delivered a lecture forty years Since Slavery. I was astonished at the number of enthusiasm displayed by the when reference was made to Dr. Washington as our greatest race for character builder, and to the compulsion expressed by Prof. Anson Philips. So that Booker T. Washington is on one seven of America's greatest "Honor" for His Hard work the man's exchain. Reference to the Chamberlain, Parnell and Presley Roosevelt failed to elicit the outpouring of applause which greeted the mention of the name of Dr. Washington. I inquired the reason for this and found a large number of the and/or best familialize with the pass of "Up From Slavery." I read avariciously by Englishman, Preston men, Germans and Russians.

I must not close this communication without mentioning that among the pictures seen in Mr. Taylor's perior was the best pictures I have seen of Williams and Walker and Mrs. Walker, who were Taylor's wife. I was delighted to learn from that the Williams and Walker trio were the most popular and pleased of any of our race who had visited London acting as well as their beloved wife.

Good Situations for Reliable Help
This question, the last resource of bored travellers, was asked with non-obligance by a black man whose appearance was striking. His pare countenance, time brow and white hair, him an intervals of calm, an enraging aspect of goodness; and this was completed by his clergyman's garb, as a chord is made perfect by its fundamental tone. But upon melancholy and care shadowed this expression over; and his mouth drooped almost habitually with a hint of sulleness, the sign of some pertinacious and nonqueried discontent. Lavater would have diagnosed him as a man whose super, naturally sweet, had been renamed irritable and broody by many vexious stings.
This is Winnehaukon, bishop, relied the porter, with the ironical politics his species adopts towards parsimonious "timers."
"Winniehaukon!" Smitten with a sudden impulse, the bishop leaped to his feet and seized his bag. "I'll do it," said he himself with rapid decision. "Baldwin hasn't written me since he left Darwin twenty years ago, but still I loved him." "You're not getting off here, sir?" said the porter with a terror which bishop mistook for astonishment.
"Yes, I've heard that a friend of mine here, a roommate in Atlanta city five years ago." And before the car could restrain him, he hurried to available and sprang off as the brain
---
It was, gala night in Winnechaukau. No noise instantaneously pealed to the ship's ears — cannonading, muskery, music, music, a multitude cheerful; and eyes were offended by the glare of a distant cloud, which, the reflection of most of illuminations, overhung the An agitated mass of humanity a blocks away was discernible, and the ship, bending his steps thither (for station and adjacent streets were deflated soon arrived on the outskirts of astonishing hurly-burly. Joyous men, women and children, with all the mad blondon of the mob, hurrahed and crenched and roared and bellowed, swelled a tumultuous flood of noise. But high on the billows of sound there rode a name which was never submerged: "Gov't Travis Lawrence."
The bishop's curiosity, though keen, as to the motive of this spectacle was weaker than his impatience to find his old clown. So after glancing about in vain for a colored person of whom to take impurities, he plucked the sleeve of a well-dressed white man and mustering all the energy of his voice shouted: "Pardon me, sir, are you acquainted with the lawyers of this city?" "Lawyer myself," replied the other without turning his head. "Hurrah for Travis Lawrence." "Do you happen to know one named Secratus Haldwin?" "Hurrah the honor, Hurrah for—" "The gentleman I refer to is colored, though rather fair," specified the bishop. "Colored." With quick horror the lawyer looked about on his questioner's table scene. "Perhaps you can direct me to some prominent colored man here who might know."
"There are no colored people in Win-
wahukan, thank God; and as you're a
grayman and I'm not a cruel man, let
me give you a word of advice: Leave
this town on the if next train." And the
lawyer told as if from the post.
Recalling in dismay surprise, the
bishop collided with a huge policeman.
"An pawhore th' hell did yez cum
frum?" demanded the latter with brutal
assimilment.
"I stumped off here unexpectedly to
an old schoolmate, but fear I've come
on a fool's arm."
"Great God, man, doesn't yez, know
that nayours isn't allowed in Wee-
ney-hawk'n?"
"Is it possible?" grouped the bishop,
the soldier month now dominating his
county man. "How long, oh Lord, how
long?" In anguish he buried his face in his hands.

SAVAGES AND SAVAGES
LONG. THE Pattullo Lance.
The timore Sun is making great things
history of an educated African who
adventured to his native Jungles and to the
lands of his savage life, after spending
him as a successful missionary. If
he is regretted; but has the editor
in his hand of the education savage
and at the stake for the "crime of
his hand on a white girl". All the
history from civilization to savagery are
found in Africa.
"Aln't no more the rains out fur'r an hour, ye'd better hide in this dark alleyway. If these turks ocnt see eyes on yes—" The policeman made a noose of his fingers and pretended to arrange.
"Father forgive them, the soundrels!" ejaculated the bishop, looking about him with indignation and alarm. "But I won't hide," he exclaimed passionately, "from such villains; it is they who should slink away ashamed for their wicked hearts, I have tried to walk uprightly all my days and have done harm to none. And am I not an American citizen?"
The policeman swore with heemence,
"Ye ibony fule," he shouted, "but Qill
not have no nygar lynchin' n-uight,
an' yez a pr'richer, too." No saying, he
held gigantic hands upon the bishop and
led him irresistibly into the alley. The
crowd, engrossed in its celebration, had
taken no notice of the black man's presence.
"If yez wuzn' so boog-house Oj
wouldn't ny handled yez so vilent," apologized the good-natured policeman, forestalling an outburst from the bishop.
On the latter's face, had it been visible, could have been seen a gradual diminucio of anger, for he was beginning to be impressed by the policeman's warnings.
"Your intentions are, kind, and I suppose I should thank you," at last replied he glomiously. "I do thank you; perhaps you have saved my life."
"Thank yurr black cont," said the policeman, not displeased with the bishop's gratitude. "Then, compted to further kindness by the uplause with which self-esteem profanes our good nets, he remarked pleasantly, with a nod toward the turbulent street: "Hove yez iver saw such a soig?"
"Rarely," replied the other, holding at arm's length, for courtsey's sake, the disqualified thoughts which were assailing him. "Should you mind telling me the cause of it?"
"Shur're, Moike, Oi'll till yez. Guvner Lorr'rince shpakes here t'might, an' we's atther givin' im a p'prade. He's thouppe's frriend, is Guvner Lorr'rnee, God bliss 'im!"
"Is he a republican or a democrat?" asked the bishop, who, like many Negro clergymen, was not uninterested in politics.
"Ain't no dimmyer'rats nor no raypublicans here. Iv'rbody's Lorr'rnee min."
"You interest me. He must be a remarkable character."
"He's a god! Why, two years ago this Sibate wuz owned sowl and body by a gang ay thaves an' gr'rafters, an' th' poor man's face wuz gr'round' down under their hob-nail boots. It wuz always har'd toimes. Why? Th' thaves wuz drivin' all th' business min out ay th' Sibate an' suckin' th' blood ay thim what remained. Th' mills and factories wuz all closin' down, an' there wuzn't naw-thin' doin' fur' rur' laborer. Lorr' nuzz persseintin' 'tor mey thin. What does yez think he did? Single-handed he waded into th' thaves, and didn't he soon make 'em howl bludy murther! They tried, to 'sassionate im', but they couldn't hist no scare into him. He just kipt roight on until he got 'em behind th' barrs. So, since thin, the capitalists has cum back, business has cum to loife 'i ivry man has all 'th' warruk he' lookin' fur'. An' Lorr' nuzz is that free-handed! If he had a bof of broad an' yez didn't have none, does yez think he divide his bof wid yez? Not on your' loife. He'd give yez th' whole, intire-loaf. Wouldn't yez love such a man? Just what, we'll sind 'im t' th' United States Sinate nixter year.
"Surely so able and generous a man cannot participate in this vulgar prejudice against colored men?" "Him? He hates naygurs worse in th' O! Seer catch hates roses. Ash, he despises 'om! Shur're an' if he had his way there wouldn't be a naygur in th' Shtate. He has a shtandin' order that no naygur can niver be admitted 't say 'im.' (Here the bishop groaned aloud.) "But he's 'h' tiptop man. An' his wolf's just loke him. She was Sinator Caldwell's daughter, th' prettiest and
- Local Afro-American vaudeville and theatrical artists are organizing a colored Actors' Beneficial Association. It is a charitable organization, modeled after the American Actors' Beneficial Association, from which the colored actor has always been barred. It is the intention to look after the average actor who makes a small salary. All of the star Afro-American artists, such as Williams and Walker, Cole and Johnson, Ernest Hugan, Billy Korsonds, Abbie Mitchell Cook and others will give a performance at one of the largest New York theatres, the proceeds of which will go to form the nucleus of the fund to be applied to this movement.
Mr. Oscar Hammstein has engaged Eph Thompson, the great Negro animal trainer of Europe, for next September. He is bringing over a herd of elephants. Thompson married into the greatest acrobatic family in the world, the Leopards of Germany. This will be the first instance in New York vaudeville where a colored man has appeared in an act along with a wife of the opposite race; and theatrical managers are watching to see just how the public and theatrical critics will take it.
Welman and Marshall, two new comers in vaudeville, who are successful song writers, are writing all of the music for "Lovers and Lunatics," which will be played in September at one of the Broadway theatres.
The Smart Set company has begun rehearsal for its next season's performance.

Left alone, skulking ignominally in the alley like the outcast he was, the bishop could not prevent a weight of bitterness and rebellion from oppressing his heart. The lawyer's horrified flight, the naive affronts of the garrulous policeman, recurred to his mind as, Manpassant would say, flies return to a raw sore, the sore of a thousand humiliations suffered during a lifetime.
"How I should love," meditated he, "to be an American to the full, to feel that nothing American is alien to me! But I am thrust out, like an infected thing, from this people's joy. Alak! I but endure in aptitude the loss of all my race. How mean a share is vouchsafed us in free American's life! Like wretches peeping in hungriety upon a rich feast do we gaze from afar upon the exuberance of American opportunity and achievement, forced to content ourselves with such crumbs as are in dislain tossed to us. This Lawrence, the benefactor and idol of hundreds of thousands, the ruler of this mighty State, how hospitably the door of opportunity swung open to his white face! Could I, with equal talents, have been Governor of this State? Could I have been leader of the tiniest ward in the wiest town of this State? And, as in politics, so in all departments are we confined to the byways and corners, contemptuously relinquished to us. True, we may be leaders of our own people. Our talented tenth may inspire indo to be principals of some crass school for industrial education—reduced to its lowest terms, an education forools—editors of some inexpensive newspaper, bishops of some pauper diocese. Palh! Bannity, banality, all is banality. What scope have we for the expansion of the individual to the unmost? Our gifted men can rise no higher than the dead level of their face. Poor Baldwin, poor Baldwin. He used to love Plutarch above all authors. Often as we walked together under the Southern stars would he recite to me the sovereign deeds of the heroes, of antiquity; and he would cast his arms about to make room, as if his spirit were not at large upon an earth. I am the brother of Themistocles and Coriolanus; he would boast with sublime looks: I, too, could cross a Rubicon or cut a Gordian knot! How can that imperial ambition have succumbed to American prejudice? But how can it have triumphed? Also in a struggle so unequal, so hopeless, success would vindicate almost any means."
Prepossessed by such embittered reflections, the bishop was only subconsciously aware of the passing procession; but his eyes and ears, those faithful servants which are often busiest when we are absent, afterwards rendered him afflicting reports of buoyant music played by bands on the heels of bands; of glittering ranks of soldiery and fantastically dizened civilians; of gorgeous floats; of troops of white-robed girls strewing the street with flowers; of the populace in transports of enthusiasm.
It was only when a shout which would have disturbed the dead was raised of "Lawrence" Lawrence! "that the bishop was reclaimed from his abstinence and pared out of his retreat, just as the governor drove by, bowing with lofty graciousness to his flattered worshippers. At the same instant he, whose anger eyes nothing escaped, saw the bishop, and the two men exchanged a glance of recognition like a withering electric current. Then the governor, with a pallor which the red-fire crimsoning the night could not conceal, held a finger on his lips, enjoining perpetual silence; and the bishop, too horror-stricken to reply, shrank into his abstinency, muttering, rather inconsistently. "The apostate! the false fugitive from his race's sufferings!"
The governor was Sororite Baldwin.
BOUGHT NEWARK MAYOR'S HOME
Afro-American Widow Attalns Old Hope, Hut May Sell at a Profit.
NEWARK, N. J. August 25.—Mrs. Elizabeth Gordon, an Afro-American widow, has bought for $5,000 the old house of the late Mayor Joseph E. Haynes and will live in it. The house is located in the upper part of Plane street.
Mrs. Gordon's husband was a janitor in the city hall under Mayor Haynes and frequently made errands to the mayor's home. Mr. Gordon at that time told her husband that they would one day own the house. Her prophesy is now fulfilled.
Her interest in the house is not so sentimental, however, as to close her eyes to the main chance. She says that "if there is much protest against my living there, I will sell the house to any one of my neighbors who will buy it for what I think it is worth."
LYNCHING'S PENALTY
From The Zenla (O.) Standard and Observer.
Negroes think the crime of burning a person at the stake is horrible and run away from it; Southern whites think it is civilization and teach it to their children. The nature of the Negro is being ridden, while the nature of the White man is being brutalized. And it is very easy to tell what the ultimate result will be.

NEW YORK Edited by T. THOMAS FORTUNE
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.
