A REVIVAL OF LYNCHING. A REVIVAL OF LYNCHING. 19 CASES IN THE SOUTH SINCE JULY 1 OF THIS YEAR. The Practice Died Out for a White, but is Booming To-day—Cabin of the Last, Two Weeks—Two Afro-Americans Lynched for Beating White Farmer—Another for Shutting White Man Up in His Barn—Two Others for Alleged Assault on White Women—Frightful Deliberation of Italy, Texas, Mob. Last fall during the campaign preceding the Presidential election Democratic Chairman "Tom" Taggart is said to have telegraphed as follows to prominent men in various sections of the South:: "For God's sake, stop lynching. You're costing us votes in the North." It is a fact that for some reason or other the practice of lynching fell into a decline before and for some time after the election. For some months there was not reported a single case of lynching throughout the South, and the Nation was beginning to congratulate itself that the crime which had blackened us in the sight of the world was dying a natural death. With the beginning of this year, however, sporadic cases of lynching began to appear here and there, and soon occurred with increasing frequency. Since July 1 of this year there have been 19 lynchings in the South. Within the last two weeks several cases of particular atrocity have been reported. One of our Southern exchanges reports the following instance: "Arthur Woodward and Talcum Woodward, Negroes, were lynched at Silver City, Miss. by fifty persons. The Negroes were in custody of Marshal Jackson, who was boarding a train when the mob took the prisoners. The Negroes were taken to the skirts of the town and hanged to a tree. The Negroes had been Andrew White, a farmer, it is said." An Associated Press despatch from Memphis, Tenn., dated September 0, relates the murder of an Afro-American for the unpardonable sin of attacking a white man: "A special dispatch from Brandon, Miss, says that a Negro named John McDowell has been found hanging from a tree thirteen miles north of that town. McDowell had attacked a white man with a knife, forcing the latter into a barn and keeping him prisoner for several hours. No details of the lynching are known." Another Southern exchange tells of the burning of an Afro-American for alleged assault on a white woman: "A report from Waxahachie, Texas, explains one of the most brutal deeds ever committed by a civilized people, which was the burning of Steve Davis, owned like all other happenings of this kind, it was said Davis confessed to crushing Mrs. S. D. Norris. "A man consisting of 3,500 persons ted Davis to a piece of gas pipe and filled feeds around him and set the mass of fire. "The settlers of Davis were of short duration coming to the fierceness of the fire. The husband of the woman is said to have stirred the blaze. "The was arrested Tuesday and taken before the woman. She was desperately tried. Then he was again taken before the woman at the sight of him she fainted. When she identified him." The man is a terrible report of all horrific blooded deliberation of from Dallas, Tex.: Susan A. Negro, who is said to be Mrs. Norris ngar Howard was burned at the stake on October 7 at Italy, Tex.

Afro-American Cannabities in Elevated Wreck-Black Hero Saved White Girl. One Afro-American was killed and three were probably fatally injured in the terrible accident on the elevated railroad last Monday morning at the corner of 9th avenue and 53d street. The dead man is Theodore Morris, a laborer, aged 35, of 125 West 135th street. The injured are as follows: HICKSTALL, LINCOLN, aged 40, 541 West Forty-ninth street, both legs amputated; will die; Roosevelt Hospital. MINOR, ELIZA, aged 30, Nyack, N.

Mrs. James G. Crowe, through whose apartment at 798 Ninth avenue the passengers of the third car made their escape, tells vividly of the feat of an Afro-American hero: "A Negro caught my attention," said she, "with a deed worthy of another age. A young girl managed to squirm from the car, and then tled wildly along the elevated structure. She was just preparing to leap to the street when the Negro grasped her, picked her up in his arms and climbed down a pillar with her. When they reached the street in safety the girl fainted and was taken in charge by the ambulance surgeons. The Negro then dung himself grandly into the rescue work." HARRY C. SMITH RENOMINATED. Republican Primary Wants Him for Fourth Term in Legislature. CLEVELAND, O., September S. Hon. Harry C.

There are about 60,000 Republicans in Cuyabeno county, and of these only between three and four thousand are Afro-Americans. DR. ASTWOOD SUED FOR LIBEL.

NEW YORK, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 14th, 1905. BAPTIST FLOCK MAY DISBAND Must Vacate Present Quarters and Don't Know Where to Turn. Rev. Richard R. Wilson, pastor of the little Baptist church at 136 West 30th street, has been served with a notice that he and his congregation must vacate their present quarters within a month, as the land they occupy is wanted for the new Tenderloin police station. The little church is twelve years old and has had to tooe a hard row to keep up expenses. The pastor, who is a porter in a jewelry store, gets no salary from his charge but instead goes down in his own pocket to help pay the monthly rent of $27. In the twelve years the congregation has painfully acquired an organ, a pulpit, books and hymn books. Rev. Wilson and his flock are disconsolate, as it is almost impossible to secure with their pany means another meeting place in the vicinity. It is feared that the little mission will have to break up.

The immense crowd that attended the eleventh annual plenice of the Hotel Bellmons' Beneficial Association, which took place at Salzers Harlem River Park and Casino on Tuesday evening, September 12, was a record breaker. By 12:30 clock the big pavilion was packed, and the people continued to pour into the center, making it difficult to talk to the menage of those who attended. There was plenty of good lively amusefied by the New Amsterdam and Miss Hailie L. Anderson's orchestra. The weather was delightful, and all present had a good time.

The Monitor League is an organization of Afro-Americans of the 19th Assumably district, which now claims an enrollment of 200 members. The inception of the organization was due to Mr. J. H. Anderson, together with half a dozen pioneer members, who started it more than a year ago. The organization is devoted to the interests of the Afro-American citizens, and stands ready to approve any act that may be beneficial and to condemn any detrimental to the interests of the people it represents. With but a few exceptions, the members of the league, previous to its organization, were identified with the regular Republican organization. Their votes have enabled the organization to elect its candidates in every election, but it is claimed that they have not been sufficiently rewarded for the work they have done, by the way of appointments. It is stated that the benefits of the organization are not intended to be entirely political, but also intellectual, industrial and economic as well. It has among its membership one lawyer, three grocers, the proprietor of a first class fish market and one expressman. It is held by the founders that through the Monitor League, in the course of the next ten years, the character of the Black Belt of the District will be entirely transformed.

St. Mark's Lyceum Open If subsequent programs may be judged by the first of the season, St. Mark's Lyceum need have no fear of retaining this year the high place among the literary societies of this and adjacent cities.

ANTI-AFRO-AMERICAN PLANK Adopted by Maryland Republicans, of Whom Secretary Bonaparte In Leader. BALTIMORE, Md., September 7.—The chief feature of the Maryland Republican State convention, which met here yesterday, was the adoption of a plank decrying "Negro domination" and declaring unalterable opposition to "social equality." Secretary of the Navy Charles Jerome Bonaparte, was the presiding officer. The Republicans of this State are engaged in a bitter fight against the Poe amendment, which intends the disfranchisement of the Afro-American vote, and doubtless hoped by this surprising plank to throw a sop to the Democrats. Afro-Americans here find it hard to believe that Secretary Bonaparte, in the light of his former utterances anent the race problem, was a party to the adoption of this anti-Afro-American plank; but find it equally hard to believe that he, dominating the convention, was not a party to it. CHAINED TO A TREE TWO DAYS. Exposed to Rhin and Mosquitoes for Running Quarantine Lines. Montreuil, Ala., September 9. An Afro- American who broke through the quarantine lines near here was captured by the guards and claimed to a tree on a back road to prevent his escape.

Seven Hundred Delegates and Visitors in Most Harmonious Gathering Yet Held - Autounding Development of the Order Revealed by President Taylor's Report - Membership News 90,000 - Over One Million Dollars Paid Out in Death Claims - Old Officers Re-elected Without Opposition - Plans of Richmond Negro Conference. RICHMOND, Va., September 11. "This has been the most successful as well as the most harmonious session held by the Grand Fountain," said President W. L. Taylor of the True Reformers last Friday night when he brought his gavel down on the table and declared the 25th annual session of the Grand Fountain adjourned since die. And he was right. Never before in the history of the organization has there been more unanimity of action than that of last week's gathering. There were fully seven hundred delegates and visitors in True Reformers' opera hall last Tuesday morning when President Taylor called the body to order at 10:30 o'clock. The roll of grand officers was called, after which devotional exercises were conducted by the Rev. J. T. Carpenter, grand worthy chaplain. After a few preliminaries, President Taylor delivered his annual address, in which he reviewed the quarter of a century's work of the order; which, summed up, is about follows: The order was organized in 1881, with a membership of 150 and $150 in cash with no other stock in trade but honest intentions and pluck. The number of senior fountains to September 1, 1906, was 2,450, with a benefited membership of 75,000; in its twenty-five years' existence it has paid out $1,137,748.85 in death claims, exclusive of hundreds of thousands for sick benefits. In the Rosebud (juvenile) department there are 922 fountains with a membership of 23,000, making the total membership 98,000. This membership is spread over thirty States and the District of Columbia. The Savings Bank which was opened April 3, 1889, has 10,000 depositors with $500,000 on deposit. The real estate owned by the organization is assessed at $450,000. The Reformer, the organization's organ, has a circulation of 12,000 and the value of the printing plant, exclusive of the building, is $8,000. The mercantile department conducts general grocery stores in Richmond, Manchester and Portsmouth, Va., and Washington, D. C. The Old Folks' home owns a farm of 650 acres with several substantial buildings thereon. The reports of the grand officers showed every branch of the order to be in a most healthy condition. All the old officers were re-collected without opposition, thus ensuring the same successful management for the coming year. Vice-President Edward Ellis, Jr., Grand Secretary, W. P. Burrell, Attorney J. C. Robinson, Chief of Old Folks' home, T. W. Taylor and Editor E. W. Brown of The Reformer, presented excellent reports. These gentlemen constitute the advisory board, with President Taylor at the head; to their eminent executive ability is due in a large measure the success of the order. It may not be inappropriate in this connection to say that The Reformer, under the able management of Editor E. W. Brown, has been the general mouthpiece of the order, reaching thousands who have connected themselves with it, where otherwise they would have known but little of its workings. There was a social feature connected with the gathering, so outing to the Old Folks' home farm "Olivette" by the S. Cobridge-Taylor Choral Society and a musical and dramatic recital by local talent, under the management of Miss Ellie C. Stannard. The address of welcome Tuesday evening was made by Mr W. U. Barrell and the response by Mr. J. S. Trimble of Lockport, Term. Col. "J. O. Midnight," that prince of good follows and charming entertainer, will lecture at Fifth street Baptist church next Thursday night. Everybody who knows "Charley" Stewart knows that he will treat his subject "Him and Us" in a most witty, humorous and intellectual manner. The Y. M. C. A. has made extensive plans for its greater men's meetings for the fall and winter. General Secretary Hurrell knows just what to give the men and he has it for them in season and out. It is always "hot stuff" from "hot members." It's doing a big heap to lift the men to higher planes of thought and action. The Richmond Negro Conference, Rev. Dr. J. E. Jones, chairman, and Mr. Geo. St. Julien Stephens, secretary, will in a few weeks outline its work for the winter. The organization will work strictly along lines similar to the Hampton and the Tuskegee Negro conferences, discussing those problems that make for the betterment of the race educationally, morally, religiously—physically and materially. Its membership embraces the best and brainsest of the Afro-Americans of this city. Miss Lavinie Scott, an attach of The Baltimore Afro-American Ledger, and Miss Victoria Hayes of Baltimore, were the guests of the Misses Stephens last week. Miss Scott is a most versatile young lady, an excellent writer, and a credit to Afro-American journalism. Her timely correspondence on the True Reformers' gathering, which appeared in The Afro-American Ledger of last week, shows how enterprising a newspaper "man" she is. Mr. W. P. Stewart of Philadelphia is visiting friends in the city. The wife of Editor E. W. Brown continues dangerously ill. Mr. Charles T. Russell of Tuskegee, who has been visiting friends and relatives in the city, returned to Tuskegee last week. Miss Ellen Payne of Washington, D. C., is visiting Mr. and Mrs. James E. Royall. Mr. Magnus L. Robinson, editor of The National Advocate, was in the city last Saturday in connection with the next meeting of the Shriners which will be held in Washington, D. C., in October. Mr. W. Henry Smith, private banker and capitalist of Wilmington, N. C., is in the city. Mr. W. H. Carter of Washington's famous Amphions, sang the offertory at St. Philip's P. E. church Sunday morning. Mrs. Charles E. Duffield and Mrs. Geo. R. Ashton of Philadelphia, were visitors in the city last week. The Rev. Dr. Holland Powell of Detroit, was in the city last week. Mrs. Lula Jackson of Washington, is the guest of Mrs. Etta Payne Johnson. GEORGE ST. JULIEN STEPHENS. THE ATKINSON INDUSTRIAL COLLEGE. Avon Church School Which Muses Lonality of Madisonville, Ky.-Begins to Malargue Its Usefulness-Division of Afro-American Voters on Local Issues Nets Off Disfranchisement Bill at Frankfort. Special Correspondence of The Ack. LOUISVILLE, Ky., September 0.—A promising school for our boys and girls of which the Afro-American people of the Middle West and the borderland of the South should know more, is the Atkinson Literary and Industrial college near Madisonville, Ky., conducted under the auspices of the A. M. E. Zion connection. It is located about a mile from the main square of the prosperous little city, in the center of a large Negro population. The grounds consist of 521 acres of fine farming land, including a beautiful campus. The farm is in active operation, the labor being performed by the students, who are thus enabled to assist themselves and at the same time render a great service to the institution. Eight acres are in wheat, and the remainder in corn, peas, Irish and sweet potatoes, various vegetables, and millet for the stock. Hogs and farm is a great help to the boarding department of the school, besides providing one of its principle industries. There are but two buildings at present, the boys' building and the girls' building. A disastrous fire last year caused much loss in dormitory space. Hence the school at this time is very much pressed for adequate room, particularly for girls. There are already in course of erection eight additional rooms to the young women's building, but owing to a lack of funds, the authorities have been unable to complete the new wing. They expect to be able, with the assistance of generous friends to make it comfortable for the girls by the beginning of the school term in October. A main building is badly needed for a chapel and public assembly room, and for library and class rooms. The educational department of Zion is doing all it can to push the noble work forward, and substantial white and colored sympatizers have given quite liberal support to the pupils, and appealed to make the white people to under the gravy needs and signal importance of such an institution as Akinson and come to its relief. Its existence is regarded as especially fortunate for the Negro children of Kentucky, southern Indiana and Illinois and eastern Missouri, since the heretofore hospitable doors of the famous Bersa College have been closed against them. The school, therefore, fills a long-felt want, which the far-flung and broad-minded members of the race all over the country will not be slow to recognize. Mason Library and industrial college is devoted to Christian education, and has been the philanthropic president of the St. Bernard Coal and Mining company, which has immense holdings in the vicinity and adds very materially to the wealth and economic influence of that section of the State of Kentucky. The founder, chief patron and president of the college is Bishop George W. Clinton, universally known as one of Zion's most ablest and most popular pastors and scholarly priests. He is paradoxibly proud of what has been accomplished in the twelve years of the school's existence and is enthusiastic about the opportunity for the uplift of the race. In addition to Bishop Clinton's exacting church work, covering a wide area of territory, he has supervised and raised money to help secure the valuable school property at Mediouville, and has exerted himself at the cost of much personal sacrifice to aid in paying the teachers their salaries. The level management is in the hands of Proof, Samuel E. Duncan, principal, and Proof, Sylvester E. Collins, financial secretary, and strong and faithful staff and their efforts are in adhered to a consistent faculty and a general board of trustees made up of publicized ministers and laymen of the Zion church. Bishop Clinton and to your correspondent, in a recent interview: There is not a more promising school to be laid in Alabama College. At the season closing in June last we had 162 students and seventeen States were represented. There were four graduates and of them is already actively enrolled in the school. The nine still require a credit to the school. The current present three departments in our grammar school and industrial. The current department comprises three students and the purpose is to prepare men and women such as education and training for practical services in life. It is an undeniable fact that we as a nation stood in the dark need of well trained and a good woman whose mind may be taught to think as well as their brains to work. The grammar school is for the purpose of laying a thorough and solid foundation in the English language and we lay great stress on thougheths in the particular branch as in all others. We are trying to bring our individual department up to a high standard, as it is fundamental in a gainful job, in a gainful work or in a job education. Carpentry, bricklaying and agriculture are taught the boys while sewing, cooking and general housework are taught the girls. We hope greatly to enlarge the scope of this department soon, and to have in full operation several more important divisions where all of the essential trades can be efficiently taught. Our music department is thriving, and quite a number of our girls are availing themselves of the excellent opportunity afforded to add to their social accomplishments." "The general prospects of Atkinson College are good," continued the optimistic Bishop President. "With a stronger financial backing we are certain that a highly profitable work can be done in Kentucky and its environs, where such an institution as Atkinson College is particularly well-situated, buildings and room to put the grounds in proper condition and pay the teachers for a few years, and the school will be almost self-supporting. The coming year will be a grand one for Negro education, industrial, moral and literary, and we feel assured that Atkinson deserves, and will get a liberal share of the race's earnest after the knowledge is firmly desirable in Jesse, at which finds the richest market, this uncontemplated, workday of tours." Louisville politics presents an anomalous aspect this year. A municipal campaign is on, and the situation is rapidly approaching fever heat. The regular Republican have made no nomination for Mayor, but have joined in a citizens' movement against the regular Democratic machine and are supporting Josiah T. O'Neal, an old-line Democrat, who is pledged to reform the abuses and unlawful conduct tolerated by the machine. There is some unrest among the color voters, who do not relish the fact that they are compelled by the force of circumstances to choose between two allowed Democrats, of whom has shown any extraordinary affection for the Negro. It is only that the bulk of our people will follow the instructions of the Republican managers and cast their ballots for O'Neal, but quite a large per cent, chiefly the sporting element, will go for Paul C. Barth, the regular Democratic candidate, from whom they may expect certain immortals. The Republicanians who are not satisfied with O'Neal and cannot stomach Barth will not vote at all. The Kentucky Standard, W. D. Johnson, editor, is supporting O'Neal, although it has no love for R. W. Knott and The Eceting Post crowd, who are O'Neal's chief fugle- neen. O'Neal is making an important bid for the Negro vote and is also getting beyond a better enforcement of the lower law while Barth is healthy in favor of the coloured manual training school, and his restaurants are missing Heaven and earth to create a favourable sentiment among the coloured people. Beneath any that he agrees to campaign Negro on the streets and may give out a few funnixtures to the race if he wins, he is against O'Neal that he voted for the coach law while a member of the Keen tucky legislature, and that he now refuses to make any show of repentance for his action. The election will be an exciting one. If O'Neal can get the lion's share of the Negro vote and the support of the "decent" element irrespective of party lines, he stands an excellent chance of winning. Without this solid support of Republicans and disaffected Democrats he cannot hope to beat Barth. It is a peculiar circumstance that this tendency of the Negro will become a necessity the Democratic machine in Louisiana has headed off all distranchising measures proposed at Frankfort. Good has come out of Nazareth, as it were. The State University opened for the fall term Tuesday. There was a deep pull of gloom by reason of the recent death of President C. L. Purce, who was loved by everyone. It is understood that for the present the school will be conducted by the trustees, and that there will be no hurry about electing a successor. A sharp lookout will be kept for the right kind of a man, however, but until an educator appears who seems to possess the requisites demanded by the institution, the place will remain vacant. Dr. Purce was a valuable man, and it will be no easy task to find his equal in the entire Baptist denomination. President Frost denies the allegation that he is in sympathy with the law prohibiting co-education of the races at Bedford. He says that he will be can to push forward a test case looking to having the Day law declared unconstitutional. No colored students are being admitted, pending the settlement of the litigation now in court. A branch of the city library, designed for the temporary use of colored people, has been established in the west end, and Rev. T. F. Blue, the former secretary of the Colored Y. M. C. A., has been placed in charge. The central library for the whites, donated by Andrew Carnegie, is in process of envision, and the money provides for the building of two branches for the benefit of the Negroes, one in the east end and one in the west. The teachers are accepting the separate arrangement with good grace, saying that experience has demonstrated that colored children do not visit the white library with the frequency necessary to produce the desired effect. The extensive inclusive use will be in the interest of general education. Te separation of the races in all public relations is very nearly complete in this city. The delegates and visitors to the New York meeting of the National Negro Business League have returned home delighted with the organization and with the lavish hospitality extended by the committees in charge of the affair. Our business man "looked the part" to a nicey, and the ladies measured up to the very best- and several notches better as Kentucky's fair maidens and stately matrons always do. There is it well defined movement on foot to make an effort to secure the League meeting for the year 1988. Next year it goes to Atlanta, and it seems to be the place that Tackle, Kansas, will capture it for 1997. In three years' time Louisiana ought to be in shape to do the honors on a style-befitting the importance of this great organization, and in keeping with the pace set by our sister cities. Louisville gets the next biennial convention of the Grand Lodge of the Knights of Pythias. It meets in August, 1907. Rev. W. H. Snowden, who has served as pastor at Jahleb street and 14th Ave. in New York, and E. Z. Krause, who has held his destination to Presiding Elder K. S. Rivens, and will have the denomination. It is thought that he will remain in the city and accept a call to a Baptist congregation. Dr. Snowden has labored in the Zion ministry for twenty-one years and has served some of the connections best churchly, including Metropolitan West in Washington. In 1900 he became a member of the Zion Lodge, which he took a member of tour The annual session of the Kentucky Zoon conference is being held this week at S. KY. KY. Bishop G. W.

Stewart of The American Baptist Home from the Detroit meeting of the National Council of Christian reports that a highly visible session was held out of the steps taken to check the disfranchisement of the Negro in the South. The selection of Bishop Walkers, a native Kentuckian, as president, is warmly commended here. Editor Stewart retired as president after two prosperous terms, and accepted a place on the executive committee. Carly R.

Mr. Rafael Serra, an influential member of Congress of Cuba, is in this city spending his vacation with his wife, Mrs. Gerritude, and daughter, Miss Consuela Serra, of 237 West 59th street. Mr. Serra resided here many years and was well and favourably known by many as a firm and loyal friend of his native land, who at all times exerted his power and influence for the success of the active warriors in the field. After Hon. T. Estrayd Palma was elected president of the new Republic of Cuba, he invited B. Serra, President of Cuba, to accompany him to Cuba, which he had to import. President Palma appointed Serra to the Postal Service and Mr. Gonzades to the Customs Service. The Moderate Party of the Santiago Province nominated and elected Mr. Serra to Congress last year, where he is an exponent of advancement and security of the Government, and justice to his people. When Congress adjourned he decided to visit his family and old friends in New York.

Regular correspondence of THE AGENT, CITTENON, III, September 11—Never in the history of Chicago have our society folks been so much in evidence as during the past month. Printers, caterers, doctors and mail have been kept busy as never before. This is no exnagation. What has been going on in the parlor and on our rooms of our gentlefolks has been the real thing and the many strangers within our gates are saying so in homes of century. They have found here a company better dressed, better housed and better manned than almost any where else in the world. West, and why not? We have been proprions in the last four years. This is shown in the large number of time living, bought by colored people in some of the best resident portions of the city. Along with this increase of things material, there has been a marked increase of intelligence and culture. We can not only admit to do what we could not no twenty years ago, but our ways of doing it are more refined. I do not believe with Eronn that "Society is only a polished buried," made up of the "horses and bored." The man or woman who has in him or her the spirit of gentility has the essential quality of an aristocrat. We must not despise the coming of the Negro aristocrat. He is very much needed and has good service to perform. The only hope is that he will not imitate the cobbled variety, which is so much in evidence that the other side of his house has fine dresses unpaid for honors and fine clothes unpaid for a refined vulgarity will not make an aristocrat, and this is not the kind that we are developing in Chicago. We are trying our best to be real gentle folks in the highest and best sense of the term. There is no such thing here as an "exclusive set," yet the list of "not invited" or "not expected" is large enough for outside purposes. Of course, these outsiders don't care, but we all know that "out-onset" and "out-children" are difficult to many. And at times carefully done, but it can't be helped. There is some compensation and that is, you can seriously talk about the "insiders." The woman who is "not expected" can always easily convince herself that she is a good deal better than the woman who makes up her "set" by a process of exclusion. It is too bad that we cannot town our hearts, because causing so many heartaches, such is the case. An aristocratic cult would be a tame affair, but for the petty environs and spites and sorceress on the outside. What can be done about it? Nothing, except for each one to cultivate a sense of self-respect. No one can prevent you from feeding yourself an aristocrat, and no social rim can be wide enough to include all the people who deserve a place within its sacred border. Fine dresses, fine homes and even a fine education are the mere garnishments of society and not society itself. The woman who frots and bites herself and gratifies, rather belittles herself and gratifies, rather laughes it off her sister, and confines grievances of good temper. Match every unkindness with love, indifference and a forgiving spirit. Resentments spin on one victorious Society is a good thing if it be good, and is not to be smeered at. It is, after all, only an effort to escape the rabbits the ignorant and the uncoach. The escape is never, of course, quite complete and satisfactory, but the aim is in the right direction. The Chicago delegation of the National Business League, which left Chicago on a special Pullman, experienced a sort of nervous shock from which it has not yet quite recovered. What happened was so moved, so stuttering, so ludicrous and absurd, indeed so everything, that it took us a long time to continue ourselves that it was real. The chief actor in this unusual agent was the knightly porter assigned to the Pullman car to be filled with helmets and goggles of his own race. When he saw the possession of dark-knitted passengers approach his bay he began to frock at the month with a red Vardaman wreathturned on his dangled hips and wielded away declaring, much to the chirgm and anger of the white conductor, that he would not wait on a lot of coloured people. He was immediately dismissed from the Pullman service, and a grievous plague in charge. I am glad that this kind of prejudice is something only new in the annals of color prejudice. It is believed that the strange conduct of this particular porter was due to an aggravated case of malaria, or perhaps malady that detained him of his right which, if he had any. It is well that he has dropped into nameless obscurity, for the people who have heart of the modest are indignant enough to make his future life anything but poison. The Chicago Convener announces through the Defender another determination to suspend life. Manager Willis proposes the public a speedy reurrection during the day, and the hour are not disallowed. It is really too bad that this Convener should fall into the habit of sustained mourning for the servant dates back to a time almost beyond the reach of memory. It has a rightful place in the historical society, but even that does not offer sufficient excuse for its apparent worthiness of life. It is true that it has had many masters, and has done all kinds of work for all kinds of people, and for all this it has had its share of blessings and curses. At no time has he been able to please everybody and salute himself pleased everybody, and has tried hard to live and be a part of the life of the community. It has always known more than it dared to tell, and told more than it knew, but I must not forget that The Convener promises to wake up main and talk back. So I protest that what I have said is not intended as an obituary. Far be it from me to be otherwise than respectful to old age. The Convener has tried to write its own history, and he has tried to be better able to know what it costs to keep alive and useful as an Afro-American. Bishop Derrick has been in Chicago during the past week. He has been much toasted and fed by the brothren. He delivered his oft-repeated lecture on "The Two Flags." The spirit of patriotism sourced high under the spell of his fervid cheer. Let no class of our people feel too sure in their security of their aspirations. As sensible as you may regard the city, there is so much one planning to supplant you to mortrow. As an Illustration of this, attention is called to the announcement from the president of the Great Northern railway company to the effect that eight new and complete trains are to be put on, as soon as they can be built, that are to be known as The Oriental Limited. These care will be served throughout by Japanese porters, waiters and cooks, which will of course dispense with the present service of colored men. At the beginning of a serious position with colored service men in the railroad business. What this displacement may mean to the community life, and process of the rule ought to command the more or less serious consideration of the thoughtful amongst us. GIVE BLACK KEY'DTUDE A REST.

LOCAL POLITICS: In the 11th Assembly district Leader Josephson's command of the organized Republican forces has been challenged by W. S. Blake, whose candidacy is being bided by the organized Republican forces of the county. The colored voters seem to be the backbone of his campaign, and should he be elected will undoubtedly receive substantial recognition. The last legislature passed a bill adding to the Bureau of Elections, the organization of the places at 85 and 50 paying $1,200 per year; to make the work of that office more effective and its scope larger and more dentally to the party. The Afro-American voters should listen at least 10 of these places. The Fiskerberg bill, providing that an election district of an Assembly district shall comprehend only 500 registered voters, caused in every Assembly district of only a large number of districts to be split. The primary election bill soon be on and it behooves the Afro-American voter to enter in intrench himself as strongly as he possibly can, and, where it is numerically warranted to ask and get colored captains and members of the committee on the primary committee on the big Afro-American district, should intervene and when they get there, not passively to ornament the chairs, but to be active, energetic forces for their race and party.

These Madmes are the only ones in the world who can tell you the full name of your future husband, with age and date of marriage, and tell whether the one you love is true or false? Reader, do you ever notice that some people seem to have good luck all the time and no matter what they do they seem to prosper, while others, yourself may have such a hard time to get along, and no matter how hard they try, they find it the most of the way they are to enter from them when they start. TTD, a because they have not consulted the right Medmes, while the successful people in all probability have been to one of the genofite medomes and obtained advice. If you are unsuccessful to business, have had lack, things go wrong with you, then you should consult Lady GONZALES and MME, ZARRETTA. They stand at the head of their profession. In tests they tell your mother's full name before marriage, the names of all your family, your name and description, the name of your spouse, and the name of your night if you are to have one, the name of the young man who now calls you, the name of your future husband, and the day, month and year of your man's birth, your name and description.

Do not keep company, marry or go into business until you know all, do not let silly religious scruples prevent your consulting. There are some persons who believe that there is no truth to be gained from consulting a Medium, but such beliefs are contrary to the truth. It is only from the lack of discrimination that such a conclusion can be made. Or himself or herself as a medium that can stand the test of what he or she claims. And a person of an inquiring mind may ask the reason why. It is simply that these advertisers do not take the trouble to stand down in mind. They do not spend their thoughts to a moment with nearing the art of phrasebozy and kindred brenches that will have a tendency to make the path way to the end of the business clear and could of all� to abscisse.

The Autocrat of the Tiger? New York city has been dominated for years by Tammany Hall, a wing of the Democratic party, with which it is very seldom in good sympathy. The Democrats in New York who do not belong to Tammany Hall are constantly striving to keep it out of power or to put it out of power. It is a family misunderstanding which has had no end in the past and may have none in the future. The Democrats out of the Tammany Hall fold have made all sorts of combinations with all sorts of organizations to defeat it. The Citizens' Union is an outgrowth of this spirit of Democratic family unpleasantness. The Citizens' Union has developed into an arrogant, domineering machining, of which R. Fulton Cutting is the Boss. Mr. Cutting picks out the mayoralty and principal minor candidates, and gives to other organizations, the Republican party included, the favor of filling out the ticket after he has taken the lion's share. This year Mr. Cutting is up to his old tricks. He harrages to himself the dictation of Greater New York not controlled by Tammany Hall. In a lengthy article in The New York Evening Post Mr. Edward D. Page, in explaining the attitude of the Citizens' Union, says: "The primary aim not only of the Union, but of the great outburst of public sentiment, by which it was called into existence was nothing less than the complete separation of municipal from State and National politics. "Has the Union endorsed to adhere to the principles adopted by its founders? The Union is to day organized in every administrative district in the city of New York. Its central committee is composed of one delegate from each one of these districts and thirty are delegates at large. The latter are elected from the various boroughs in proportion to the population." If this statement does not show that the Citizens' Union is a political machine, we would like to know. And why should the Republican organization, of Greater New York permit R. Fulton Cutting and his machine to select its candidates and platform? Mr. William Halpin, president of the Republican County Committee, in a recent interview, says: "The candidate for Mayor should be a Democrat. That has been my opinion for some time. Politics should not be considered in a municipal sight. We want to nominate a ticket, regardless of politics, which will oust Tammany Hall from control of the city." The Republican organization of Greater New York must have a purpose in falling into the clutches of the Citizens' Union and R. Fulton Cutting which does not appear on the surface and which we are unable to fathom. If we are to have a choice of two Democrats for Mayor the Afro-American voters of Greater New York will do a lot of thinking before deciding between the Tammany Hall Tiger and the Citizens' Union Autocrat. Maryland Republicans Desert to the Democrats The Maryland Republicans have adopted a platform in which they declare that they are opposed to "Negro domination" and "social equality" anywhere in the Republic. This monstrous declaration places the Republican party in Maryland in line with the Democratic party of Maryland. The declaration came like a bolt of lightning out of a clear sky. The singular thing about the action of the Maryland Republicans is that their convention was presided over by Charles Jerome Bonaparte, a member of President Roosevelt's Cabinet, who had made a brave and manly fight against the proposition to disfranchise the Afro-American citizens of Maryland, and who had declared that "in America a man does not need a grandfather." The New York Sun has reached the conclusion that the action of the Maryland Republicans places the Afro-American outside of the Republican party. But they have practically been outside of it since 1876. True, they have refused to acknowledge the fact, although THE ACE diligently sought to have them do so. Mr. Grimke's Pica for Race Union. In another column of THE ACE to-day we print as the weekly contribution of Hon. Archibald II. Grimke, a valued member of THE ACE's staff, a contribution to the vexed question of Race Leadership which will command instant and wide attention. We have great respect for the learning, ability and experience of Mr. Grimke, three elements of strength which the Afro-American people do not always acknowledge and defer to in their men and women as other races of people do, instantly and gladly. We also appreciate Mr. Grimke's love of his race, a quality of character which he inherited and which is a part of his heart and head. The development of groups among us, such as Mr. Grimke points out, is of recent origin, and has been the provocation of a general upheaval among the Afro-American people, by the development of a personal vindictiveness in discussion scandals, from every point of view, and by forcing to the front the abhorrent theory that in race disunion and confusion among its thoughtful forces are to be found greatest, strength and success. The frensied originator of the race group humming theory and his chief fugleman have buttressed their arguments with personal abuse and childhood and their actions with crimes which the courts have punished, and they have persistently refused all overtures for peace and harmony even when they have been allowed to dictate without the change of a word the basis of harmony and peace. What do they want? Let them state their conditions and have them accepted, as was done in New York, and they immediately repudiate them when they are outside the conference. And why? Because they are not seeking the triumph of principles best to promote the interests of the race, but the advancement of their personal interests. They have demonstrated that much by their broken faith and by the scandalous criminality of their conduct. And yet we are willing to make another effort to get together with them and to devise some common standing ground that will best promote the interests of the Afro-American people. But this is not what these race marplots want or will abide by when they have made the conditions themselves. Mr. Grimke knows this as well as we do. The only man in the situation who has displayed the qualities of a leader and who enjoys the confidence and respect of the whole American people has done all that he could to promote union and harmony among the group people, who have laid down no principles that The Ace cannot subscribe to, for the simple reason that it is the father of each vital one; but his efforts have been regarded with suspicion for the reason we have stated. The great body of the Afro-American people regard with disgust this whole group business and the effort to exalt frenzied mediocrity into, an oracle and criminals into spokesmen of a race. The thing can't be done, because the people will not stand for it. We want union, not division; but we want it on the basis of principles, not of men. The group people have shown that they want the reverse of this. Are they ready for a union on the basis of principles? If so, they can get it. Mr. Millholland Stands Pat. On the great principles of political, civil and human rights imbodded in the Federal Constitution, there is no man in the Republic who stands more squarely, honestly and obediently than Mr. John E. Millholland of New York. We have known him a great many years, and he holds us firmly to-day as when we first met him to those ideals which make for the best in manhood and in citizenship. In another column of TIME Aur to-day we publish an address by Mr. Millholland which was to have been delivered before the National Negro Business League, but was not because of a misunderstanding as to the time of its delivery. The address speaks for itself. There are ideas in it which go at the roots of good manhood and citizenship and of strong and healthy government. No man can read the address without feeling stronger and better. The Afro-American people are not without many and strong friends among their white fellow-citizens, in the North and the South, and THE Age will emphasize this fact from time to time to the end that the race may take greater heart of hope in the effort to rise to higher and better things. Higher education, whatever its advan-tages, has made a lot of Afro-American people crazy. Louisiana, along with other Southern States, is clamoring for foreign labor to take the place of black labor. Louisiana got a lot of Italian labor and has discovered that it, like the unquiet, tracels with yellow fever germs in its clothes. The Afro-American press is getting to be quite a stable institution. The Cleveland Gazette has just begun its twenty-third year; THE Afro-American Leader recently celebrated its fourteenth birthday; and we are eighteen years of age. The war between Russia and Japan was declared off by the Portsmouth conference, but the Japanese at home are dissatisfied with the terms and have been showing it that it is regrettable. We think the Japanese came out ahead on the terms of agreement. --- Senator "Joe" Baller of Texas hosts that no Southern Senator has fallen into the toils of the law as have recently some Northern and Western Senators. If Baller had his deserts he would now be wearing stripes for his transoceanic practices as leader of a Ku Klux Klan gang in Columbia, Mississippi. Rev. L. G. Jordan, of Louisville, the new corresponding secretary of the National Afro American Council, has started out to the Council and has and abiding interest in the Council and its members, believing succeed, because he is an organizer and has the best interests of the people at heart. We shall give him all the assistance we can, and we believe that the best men and women of the race will do no less. That "grand old journalistic, warship, The Chicago Concorsoer, with the imitable, indomitable, incorruptible (aide) D. R. Wilkins at the wheel" has struck a song whence it now sticks fast.

Charles W. Anderson was appointed Collector of Internal Revenue many entitles Southerners asserted that he owed the position mostly to his being an Afro-American. That he was appointed strictly at the last report, surprisingly established by the last report of the Revenue Examiner, which shows that Mr. Anderson in sixty days raided the rating of his office for the first time in many years from No. 3 to No. 1.

From The New York Sun When, about two years ago, Mr. Ellihu Root, said frankly, at the Union League Club in New York that the experiment of the precipitate admission of the emancipated Negroes to the suffrage had proved a failure, he expressed a sentiment which now prevails throughout this country among both Republicans and Democrats. Moreover, Mr. Root merely recognized a fact. In practice the experiment of giving suffrage to the emancipated slaves has proved unsuccessful. It has broken down completely. In the South, where are nearly nine-tenths of the Negroes laws and State constitutional amendments have practically disfranchised them; yet the Republican party, which gave to them the suffrage and fortified the gift with an Amendment to the Federal Constitution inflicting the penalty of a reduction of representation in States which "in any way abridged" it, has looked on and done nothing to protect its Negro followers against such discrimination, and it becomes more and more evident every day that it will do nothing in that direction. When Federal troops were withdrawn from the South as protectors of Negro voters at the polls, and when the Force bill failed of enactment, Negro suffrage was doomed, at least for the present generation. The attempt of the Republican party to ensure to itself for all time the electoral votes of Southern States by means of Negro suffrage not only failed utterly, but was also the means of assuring a Democratic solidity of the South which will probably long continue. At the Maryland Republican convention on Wednesday, presided over by Mr. Bonaparte, a member of the Cabinet of President Roosevelt, the platform adopted "The Republican party of the State of Maryland favors no social equality among the races, favors no Negro domination over whites, depends upon guardians where, and can be depended upon to guard them, and establishes of either of these conditions here in Maryland." It is understood, too, that Secretary Rumsfeld is chief hand in the construction of this platform. It is also that there were only eight Negro delegates in the convention, though at the convention of two years ago their number was ten times so great. This is of capital significance. It indicates the Republicans have found Negro sufficiency and have included on their party rather than a help to it, at least in the Southern States. Moreover, the Negro population of Maryland was less than a fifth of the total in 1800. Of all the States in which slavery formerly existed, with the exception of Kentucky, Kentucky, Missouri, and West Virginia, no African character and political sentiment. Maryland has the smallest percentage of Negroes, and reason for dread of "Negro domination" would seem to be small, if not infinitesimal; yet even the Negroes of Maryland are so similarly proud of preservation to them so seriously impaired "social equality" for the Negroes. This declaration, made by a Republican convention presided over by a Cabinet officer in a Republican Administration, reaches out in its principle to the great body of Negroes in the country, where they now exercise the privilege of the suffrage without restriction. If the Negro of the South is unfit to be trusted with the franchise, is not the Northern Negro equally unrestricted as a voter? If it is right and just and necessary to obey the suffrage from the one, should it not be rescued from misuse by the other? In the very States where the electoral votes are pivotal for the Republican party in a close Presidential election the Negro population is large numerically in New York and Ohio about a hundred thousand people, and in New Jersey about twenty thousand, in Indiana and Kansas somewhere about fifty thousand each. In Massachusetts and Connecticut there are enough Negroes to make their votes decisive in a close election. They may turn the scale in California. In the Republican party abandons the Negroes of the South and commits at their practical disfranchisement on the ground of their inherent unfitness for the franchise, what reason is there for the Northern Negroes remaining in allegiance to it? It accepts the principle that Negroes are intrinsically disqualified for the responsibility of voting, whatever the Constitution may enjoin. It discards Negro suffrage as an experiment which has failed. The Negro question, therefore, is now settled in the substantial agreement of both parties as to it. At the South and at the North the Negro accordingly no longer has any reason for looking on the Republican party as his champion. BIRTHDAY GOOD WISHES From The Western Outlook THE New York Age ended its eight years with its issue of August 24. It is a bold issue, bright and intelligent, and has many admirers. Now that it has arrived at the age of womanhood we trust that its admirers may increase tenfold. From The People's Advocate We congratulate THE NEW YORK AGE on her 18th anniversary. She has made 18 voyages across the journalistic sea without any one being harmed, while she has met many people who have been affected. But she can thank food that is still alive and in good health. The Captain at the helm, in the person of Mr. "Thomas Forster," has been a great bed, therefore the care need not fear. From The Reference The New York Ace, which is the direct lineal descendant of Roxon, The New York Globe and The Free Press, enters upon the nineteenth year of its existence with the journalists, has maintained a high standard of journalism, setting a pace which Nero Fortune, its able editor, is to be commended for giving to the public such a publication. From The Charlesston (W. Va.) Adrocate. The New York Ace celebrated its eleventh birthday last week and for a youth of such tender years is making an editor, of Thomas Fortune, a veteran in the newspaper world, and easily first among the journalists, perhaps more widely quoted by leading white journals than any other race paper. It is perhaps more widely due to the sensible view of public questions taken by its editor. The paper has been enlarged from its original size and its dress is quite becoming. The Adrocate congratulates both the editor and publisher of Titz Ace upon passing its eighth and hones its love of Rin Van Winkle, "that it may live long and prosper." REMARKABLE IMPROVEMENT. From The National Pilot. THE NEW YORK ACK, edited by T. Thomas Fortune, is certainly a race paper that merits much credit. It is not lacking for thought which is doing the Negro, much good. The eight-page paper is a remarkable improvement. Union, Not Divulge, Must Be the Watchdog-No Partisan Politician or White Man Will Do-Industrial Education, Higher Education and Political Rights Groups Unged to Get Together. Staff Correspondence of THE ACR. BOSTON, Mass., September 11.—There are leaders and leaders. But whatever else, the leader of the colored race in America may be, he will not be white, and he will not be a political partisan in city, State or National politics. Because under all circumstances and situations of things he has got to put the rights of the people whom he lead first—before every other interest and consideration in city, State and Nation. And as no white man to day, however unselfish and uncompromising, can do that, this leader will not be white. And as the same reason holds in respect to the partisan in politics, this leader of the colored people will not be a partisan Republican or a partisan Democrat or a partisan anything else in politics for that matter. A partisan colored man is as much unfitted for safe, for effective leadership as is a partisan white man, for the good and sufficient reason that it is the nature of the colored partisan, as of the white one, to put at every decisive moment the claims of party above race, above every other claim and consideration. As a choice between these two classes of partisans for leaders it is six of one class and half dozen of the other one. They are both to be distrusted and rejected. And they both will in the future be more and more distrusted and more and more emphatically rejected than was Judge Tourgee's leadership a few years ago; than is the titular leadership of some well-known colored Republican partisan candidates for actual leadership to-day. The colored man does not choose such leaders, the head of the Republican machine refuses to write his endorsement on the backs of such would-be leaders. For of what possible value to the machine is the paper leadership of men without followers, of colored captains of colored hundreds where there are in reality not a baker's dream of colored privates to answer to their names at roll call, and they answer only in order to be present to party rattains at the hands of the party and the party machine, the sham leadership may feel some of the colored people and all of the party machine some of the time, but such easily uncovered deception cannot succeed with either class all of the time. The colored man claims to be a leader ought to be leader, he ought to have followers and he ought to be able to treat them out of office. What matter is it if he has decorated himself with the bars and uniform of a captain, if he has no company stranding of him or in front of him, where wherever he leads? Without his company, his followers, he is naught but a paper captain, a sham leader, whom the colored people understand, and whom the party machine will all in due time reduce from his previous paper state, from his grandeur, to the hard reality of the party rank and die, where he properly belongs. Well, and so it happens that these slam leaders are ever and anon making on the stage their entrances and exits. And they are ever and anon making on the stage their jumps. And when he does appear and makes his entrance through one door of the stage all the humbug leaders will make hurried exits from the other side of the stage. He will say, although no prophet or son of prophets, that this real leader will be neither a white man nor yet a political partisan, he be black or white. He will be a white man, he will be the head to the soles of his feet, a colored man, a colored American. He will be colored in the mind of him, and in the heart of him. He will be true because he can be courageous because he cannot help it. He will be big of brain and big of heart and the word of him will be Union. He will assuredly not be Division. He will seek in a hundred ways to spell in the heart of the world. He will abhor Division as mankind ought to abhor the devil a century ago. For this principle of Division will be the real person, tangible devil to the mind of the actual leader when he comes. For he will be more than any other colored man of his time. He will come from it to his race. He will seek therefore in a hundred ways to heal differences, to unite, to organize his people. He will therefore try to emphasize not points of disagreement but rather points of agreeance. He will narrowness within itself, race inference within itself. He will have to do so, to be sure, sometimes with no little tact, and at other times in fighting this spirit of narrowness and intolerance he will throw tact to the dogs and go straight at the throat of intolerance and narrowness. The new, the true leader will then be known by his fruits, by what he does, by what he stands for to promote Union, to exercise or even the principle of organization. He will be the leader, the will on the other hand, make in almost everything which he does for Division, for strife, for race narrowness and intolerance, for rock he may strike will go forth, for this, for the waters bitterer for than the famed waters of Marah of which the Jews had to drink on their way out of bondage. The true leader, the Moses of old, does not embitter, the people of which the people must drink. The false, who embiters no bitter waters for them, but embiters rather the well of sweet water at which they will have to shake their thirst way to the promised land of their manhood and citizenship in the American Republic. The false leader is not a healer of differences among his people, but the reverse. He is a stirrer of strife, the organizer of disorder follows, and he never leaves a place until he has attached out a brood laden with the same kind of thoughts he is never so useful as when he sees the hands of one group of his race arranged in deadly inextinguishable strife against another group. He makes it a business to carry matches in his pockets, in the packets of his heart and brains, to do so never to find trains of enty, of jealousy or of wounded qoupr property, lying around loom in the life of the race, and such trains of explosive selfishness and meanness are always lying around loom. The colored would-be leader who is out looking for them and for his opportunity will not hear any long. For lo, they are everywhere, and for a part of a day right under his nose, ready to his hand to flame infury at the first touch of his match of—what shall we call it? Is it the match of his overwearing ego and arrogance of his ambition to be fist which, like Maccabeth, overlapped itself, that the match which a false leader is around to light the fuses of individual falsehoods, betroths narrowness, and intelligence is composed in equal parts of this overwearing ego and arrogance and ambition which overleaps itself. It has been so from the beginning of the time when men began to come together into social groups. The false leader, while appearing to emphasize essentials, has all along down this line emphasized non-essentials, which is the very thing does. He finds by a sort of prudent instinct the things which make for closer group union. He therefore seems upon the essentials not in more words but in the thoughts, in the acts of the social group with whom he has to deal. He knows that he is not sufficiently, and so he seeks to lift the whole group into social solidarity, into group consciousness, in order to better lead them to higher things, which he cannot possibly do so long as they waste in fighting one another the energy which is necessary in these things under his leadership, or under someone else leadership. In Palestine more than 1,000 years ago there lived a man who was destined to become a supreme ruler among the nouns of men. On one occasion his disciples went against him in a complaint, a protest found doing in the name of their leader what they themselves were doing. The things done by these people were not, therefore, bad but good. But the disciples did not see them in that light. Those things seemed to those disciples bad, and the exhibition because the people who did them had not come to the doing of them through the conventional channel, through which their judges had come to the doing of the same things. And then came the wise judgment of Jesus: "Those who are divided and for me, what divine breadth and tolerance can come across the ages in every word of this simple and sublime test of discipleship? What matter if those offending people did not come to Jesus in the exact way, the disciples came? They had got there just the same, and the road by which they had come was the same, one of the essentials of the new religion which he had brought on earth. There are among us colored people in the United States three distinct groups of people. Each group has selected for its own private to�ate a separate way to reach the welfare of the race. He has the industrial education he has with the education group, and the political rights group. The three groups are going by separate ways, or apparently separate ways, to the same destination. The three are devoted to one common cause, the same race and the same program. The first group is while he is the higher education and political rights for the race, puts the emphasis of its movement not on other but on industrial education instead. The second group, while believing in industrial education for the masses and political rights, is from also, puts never-going to the emphasis of the education in either of them, but in higher education instead. For with this group the production of trained race leaders takes place in the first place. The principles which differentiate from it the other two groups are in the form of the national politics group. This group believes that the group in industrial education for the masses, and with the higher education group also in an educated race leadership, but while it agrees with each relative to the value of the movement of each, it puts the emphasis, and a very decided emphasis if it is. You can equal political rights for the race. WHOLE WORLD AGAINST SOUTH. Rev. Landrum of Atlanta Talks of Race Problem and Beatstict World Congress ATLANTA, GA. September 7.—At the meeting of the Baptist ministers here this week Rev. W. W. Lundrum of the First church, who is widely known for his brave stand on the Negro question, took up the matter of the treatment of Afro-American delegates to the Baptist World Congress at London in July. He referred to the criticism of the part Negro played in the convention. He admired the work of the white equal rights in every way with the white equal rights spiritually in the convention and equal rights socially outside of the convention in the homes of the people of London. Now occasionally," said he. "a Negro accompany one of the white ladies to the convention or on the streets of London, but we must remember that we have the whole world against us on the Negro question. There is no such feeling against him, and we must well face and admit the face. But I think this matter is a big buxhoo about nothing. I believe that the Negro must have equal spiritual rights with any one—that Baptist church has always contended for this thing received this at the convention; less and nothing more. "The only difference in the treatment at the concession hall was probably in the applause received—the applause was one of the colored delegates had when one of the colored delegates had the "But this matter of social equality is not one for church or civil legislation, but one for individual taste. I have no one for individual taste to London and tell them who they should be to our homes than they have to come to us here and say who we should receive." MRS. BARNETT'S INGRATITUDE. From The People's Recorder We are shocked beyond measure to note the estrangement between Editor T. Thomas Fortune and Mrs. Ida B. Wells-Barnett. Mr. Fortune was Mrs. Wells-Barnett's true friend when she was greatly in need of a benefactor. More than twelve years ago when Mrs. Ida B. Wells-Barnett went to New York to plan her lynching crusade. Mr. Fortune callantly and lovely took up her case, introduced her to the great heart of New York and otherwise assisted her as perhaps no other man could. We truly hope that this talented woman will not now at this late day turn ingrate to the most noble Roman the race has, but that she will ever regard him as her greatest benefactor. Humanitarian Dinner Not So Generally Anybody-Booth Seems It Is In Writing Liberty-Two Quail, General Little Lynchburg in Minnesota ATLANTA, GA., September 11.—The Washington-Waunaker episode about ceased to be a cause for Southern newspaper discussion. It did not amount to much anyway, and would not have been the subject of any talk had it not been for the newspapers that are ever on the alert for something semanational. The attitude of the Southern press on matters of this kind is always inconsistent. The newspapers make a great aide about these occurrences and thereby give undue morbidity to them. Thep pretend to believe that when Booker Washington dines with a white man the "teeming millions of life in the South" are encouraged to hope for social equality, when, as a matter of fact, those blacks have no yearning for an equal social status, and would never heart of dinners at which white and colored men eat if it were not for the great morbidity given them by the Southern press. In other words, the press itself stirs up the matter and brings it to the attention of those Afro-Americans who otherwise would not hear of it. But this Washington dinner has not been as generally denounced as would have been expected, possibly on account of the fact that someone is acknowledging that after all a white man and a black man may eat at the same table, at the same time without disturbing the equilibrium of the Republic or impressing its future. The Southern press, if it opposes social equality and believes that Southern African Americans are clamoring for it, adopts a popular plan in finishing the idea by giving more attention to the circumstances. As a matter of fact, the Southern press does not believe that there is the slightest chance for social equality to exist, and further, that there is any great chance that the black man. These editors know full well the social status has been fixed in the South and that the black man is submitting without complaint; they also know that if Mr. Wanamaker or any other African American to dinner it is purely a American can be safely said, that Mr. Washington has lost but few white friends on account of the Wanamaker dinner, because there was nothing especial in his eating dinner. John Wanamaker for which under the circumstances, he should be condemned. Down this way we are not infrequently afflicted with the Afro-American newness that we see every day; it considers its duty to smooth over even the white press. This might be all right, but these card writers in their articles sometimes degenerate to more apologetics for all the wrong reasons. They give the impression that he is the greatest sinner on the face of the earth. They do not deceive the people either white or black, they take the time to investigate conditions. The Afro-American has his faults as have other men, and there is no reason why people should apologize for his hard work. The Afro-American has other others. He is tried in the courts and sentenced along with white men. To be sure, he is in evidence in the jail and prisons; but it must not be forgotten that he filled with inmates in cities and towns where the Afro-American does not live. The absence of Afro-Americans from a community does not, by any means, affect his free from crime, any more than his presence in a community argues that crime will be rampant. Take all in all, he just about the same in the essential way, no reason why all of his little family and misdeeds should be aired and mocked organized for. Everybody who is living in a teenage depreciates crime where he is committed, where by white men or black. During the past two weeks M has had two lynchings which he said quietly that very little attention paid to the. In one instance he was hanged and their bodies ride to bullets because they had engaged with a white man.

In speaking of the shrubs of colored man who have lived in the city of New York during the century past, very much diggish upon the age of the person who recognizes the epithet. Little science to help been written upon the subject, and means to do so, now many of the greatest christians who have lived hereabout may pale into the great pool of forgetfulness, where has been swallowed much that is fully as good and decerving as that which has been marred. The really powerful men—this is certainly true within my own recollection—who have lived in the city and State of New York have gone to their graves quite unknown beyond the confines of the State. And this is true of both black and white. The two most powerful men in the politics of the State, with power that was National in scope, were Thurlow Weed of Albany and Dean Richmond; the one made Republican Presidents and Governors, and the other did the like for the Democratic party. Yet who to-day knows anything of either of these men except those who may have known personally something of the politics of the State ever since the birth of the Republican party? They were certainly great characters, and good, too, good in the sense of refinement, for, be it understood, not until the Irish took possession of the city was there anything in party politics worrying of bourish. The brutal blackburn boss, the fellow who is very truly pictured in the book, was the man who, as we now term it, with his hat cocked on the side of his head, a big cigar in his mouth, and his arms akimbo, is an imported article. From De Witt Clinton's time down to Thurlow and Dean Richmond, the politician and politician fit for the society of William H. Seward, Hamilton Fish, Samuel J. Tilden and Abram S. Howitt. We are indicted to the Black Ball line of packet ships and the many sailing ships that came crowded to our harbor. Gory John Fidler for Richard Corker and John Kelly and their like. There was a sense of refinement everywhere when that is absent now. It was evidenced in the character of the daily newspapers and magazines, The Trilune Herald, Times, Post, Commercial and Sun, and many other publications with their two editorial warring, had yet a sense of refinement in them, and the public would not have tolerated the yellow journal of today, which finds its success in a depressed political mind, which is a foreign addition of ignorance, that begins to be expressed with the use of the word "shirts." Finally, to us the followers who have never ruled the city. Now, it was quite impossible for that refinement and high degree of cultivation not to have reached the colored people who were in so close touch with it in every avenue of city life and, notwithstanding the white faces from the whites as they are to-day, they were nevertheless respected. The general atmosphere called for men of refinement in manners, educated men, proud, ambitious, perseverant, men who, if not known to-day beyond the confines of the State, do not now it to act as a slave, but to the want of those agencies which to-day carry men's names country-wide, world-wide—the telegraph, public prizes, mailroad and telephone. No man, while or black, seemed to labor for morality. Neither your picture nor your steward would be printed in those pages, nor would you be positive and public taste did not permit much illustration in the daily paper. It was in such an atmosphere that the Rev. Peter Williams and Dr. James McCune Smith were developed and the man who was to be mentioned. It was that refinement which produced Rev. John Peterson and Rev. Alexander Cummings. These names I mention because they were personally known to me, but not to them. They made me more aware of the character and general expression of the race in those early days, for they were not very unlike the many of the time of the Rev. Peter Williams, possibly the most famous of the early days. Mr. Smith was learned and bright, and most folklore, shifting light as it was. The Rev. Peter Williams was not what we would call a shining light, but what we would apply to the team, particularly those of primarily white men. Had the results of old New York to be more than the matter, it would be which of the two teams would be the winner. Dr. Smith or Dr. Williams. Both these were of old New York. The centre of colored population, between 1875-50, was in the vicinity of West Broadway and Leonard street, excluding the area being for many years the shade of the fashionable or smart set. A important of the business places of the colored ```markdown ``` And now if we will remember that between the city averaged not far from two hundred thousand miles, nobody more than 10,000 miles at this day, we shall think of it as the period of the first and last of our century, so much so that no impulse themselves upon the whole city. Indeed newspapers, were so common people asked more to each other of the events of the week or month: the impressions in public or private, the demands of individuals, were city navigated by the city's own creators and officers, the women, the men, and officers, the undoubtedly largely stimulated by the desire to get the latest news. It was easier then for a man to earn turn in any sphere of life—that is, as far as his own city is concerned—than now, when with a population of millions a man's most important work is to keep his very block above his residence, individuals and individual effort being simply raised down, swallowed. Nevertheless, and making allowance for all this, the Rev. Peter Williams in entitled to distinction and renown, unique, alone. Something at that day and time which it would require too much space to do a review, and an opinion in a condition that does not necessitate made men work for the general welfare, and look forward for the upholding of the race to prepare youth for future public usefulness. Among the many names that might be mentioned who seemed to feel themselves individually charged with the responsibility of being of the race there stands out prominently that of the Rev. Peter Williams. The tablet erected to his memory in St. Philip's church in West 23th street is most deserving and should not be mistakenly attributed to anything other than his recognition of his great personal worth, his great myself. His character, devoted not alone, is the most important of the person and church, but of his race. Upon entering that church, the office today one may note on the left of the center aside a most deserving tablet, upon which is carved his portrait and beneath it the inscription "The Affirmate remembrance of the Rev. Peter Willington of the House and the first twenty years the faithful minister of this parish." He died October 18, 1510 in the 23rd year of his new. Neither the present nor the generation immediately by proceeding it have anything like an adequate conception which is thus two or three the property of this place itself and has been living, who seemed to regard his setting to be not alone to be in the Gospel, but to provide for its living perceived long after his body had been laid away in the tomb. He took a good look and was about to go to the house, without having the most� about life, and with grooming in character, with aەrowing from possible character, with aaeing of the house. The professor, who was the first to be developed through his teacher, was Doctor James McBride, Jr. Alexander Green, the Professor Charles L. Reeson and Dr. Ismail DeFransse, such as prominent and unobedient men who were the only leader of the school of the school, were a major advocate convention of either in a simple charter that is in aesserarily limited, above named are four only of those women even last the morning eye of the Rev. John William Rode, whom he was a sin off the end of his parish, and, as well as the one not by any means all to whom he gave attention, but when one learns the character of the four, what one has become in his prime, he can gain some slight conception of the ability, judgment and little devotion of the stand, who brought them to award and to do so when he has enough enough to see them launched upon their most useful careers. He was not the leader only of a church parish, but the people. When it became desirable to receive white teachers from the color, a little school of the school was more of the same kind of this city, as the devised to prove to the world the ability of the race to instruct the own when it became desirable to find enable places for those who through his efforts had been fitted to teach, the omnities which the Mannowson Sact re expected to be excepted to be more there the Rev. Peter Williams, Peter Rev. Boston, and And it is significant of the fact that his usefulness and worth were not alone known and at present by his own name. He was a friend and that of his friend the British Rev Bishop Onderhoudk, given special attention and honor since since to know him, possessed a colored chapel in the city of New York. By his order he was sent to the city to serve his friend, several of them acting as bellers. The public schools were closed and the city in every part gave evidences of movement. His life and work with regard Bishop Onderhoudk of the city were commemorated for the ministry and for twenty years devoted to the utmost with evidences of devotion to his needs. SAVVIE R. SCHROMPH.

It is as follows: "We arrived at Hudson, after a delightful morning visit of the school, and found many pleasant facets to greet us and a very prette, most, and comendious little church of which Zion connection may be proud. The session opened 2:30 p.m. to results with the president Rev. J. D. Williams in the child, entered by our very efficient providing elder, Rev. W. H. Newly, and the other officers. The convention was a very successful one, and I was very on a pleasure to represent Sunday school to which ranks second to none in the district. The convention was highly honored during its sessions with the presence of on-teens and beloved bishop. It rev. J. W. H. Newly was preached greatly to the competition. "An important feature of the convention was the cradle roll session conducted by Mrs. Lemberick (whife), who is one of the millionaires of Hudson, and has the work of the A. M. E. Zion church at heart." The service is very effective but is not lengthy to be described here. "The convention closed with a discussion on temperance, and Boston Hotel requested all to obtain from everything that is harmful." "The next convention will be held at Tarreviens in the First Tuesday Wednesday and Thursday in August 1901. Your delegate being rejected secretary." Miss S.

Nigro Husinem Leagung meeting here, was unfortunately prevented by the intervention of a telegram: President, Ladies, Gentlemen of the Auction, and Fellow Citizens, Delegates to with Convention of the National Negro Anglo-Americans. The representatives of the National Business League, you represent capital, diversified pursuits, labor- underdrinks, scientific methods, national advantages, skillful procedure, stable advancement and merited suc- cultate you stand for something higher Above and beyond all the material of which we have all heard so this morning, is the ennobling fact gathering from the East, West, and South represents not mere difficulties nor achievements, achievement. American citizens, but the vast side, those millions of men and who, through the harsh lessons of experience, have at last, in some come to realize themselves the truth that their destiny is not sleeping of others, not with legisl- ation with congress, nor with courts, or governments, but in their own hands. Rudely, unjustly, cluely from a condition of relative de and expectancy, they are climbs by safe, though rough, tortuous paths, and are better equipped, more resilient and womanhood; and, having that awful power within them, the dynamic force of self-reliance, animal initiative and organized eff- lux, is associated by this league that fosters their discipline toward something better, than ever known. forever, I repeat, this is a most gratifying demonstration, gratifying in results accomplished, and full to overflow assurances of the future, the future of the organization, the future of the future of that which, with all and shortcomings, still remains the greatest achievements, under the human heart and brain of American Republic.

"Race superiority? What a delusion has vanished at last, and before the whole world! What a fallacy was exploded in the dynamite at Port Arthur! Race superiority? In this day and generation, when we find this great Muscovite Empire at the mercy of a little colored nation which her great captains and high officials almost disdaind to consider as part of the human race!

Race superiority? In a generation that witnesses the descendants of old Rome digging out sowers under the supervision of the very Hibernians once sold as sheep by Tiber's banks! Race superiority? How the absurdity of the contention when her degenerate sons fled like sheep over the historic plains of Thessaly pursued by Turkish soldiers with cobble-stones! "No, there is not much left to this wretched bit of barbarian. Here and there in and in the dark places of the earth it fingers, and an efface Bourbonian tries to bolster up an automated existence with it, but in the mind of enlightened humanity it is a role of the decadent past. Its place is in the museum of horrors, the thumb-screw, the wheel and the torture rack. All Itacca Have Their Burden. "One after another the races of men are taking their place in the army of progress. There is a burden, and the white man has a heavy shape of it, but the brown man has his portion of labor, and the black man also has his portion of yellow man. None has a monopoly of destiny's disagreeable behests; none should have its rewards. "Must rite! Continue as you have begun. Answer the adversary with concrete examples, such as this organization affords. Against these demonstrations the heathath rages is vain. This old gray world has often sunk down low in the seas, but never yet has there been a time when the man who dared to do his duty, to say or think, to do what he was really afraid to do, did not command respect and confidence. It is the everlasting gospel of 'do' we reach. Do! Do! Don't dream. Don't rite with existence. This life is no place for timeless thought or talk. Leave academic discussion to the aneurysm. You don't need it. Stand upon the established facts of your case. Let history speak for you.

"Do they say you are without the trans spirit of manhood or the courage of life? Let the red pages of the War Department answer it: from that day in Boston upon which the runaway slave, Criticus Atkins, the Revolutionary to the present, there have been a blot in the Afro-American military collection of a single failure on his part to respond to his country's call from Book Peter Salon's heroic work on Enkel Hill to the gallant exploits of the 21st and 22nd Infantry at San Juan, the universal testimony has always been that the colored troops fought in the Atlantic to declare them to be nothing less than 'ideal' soldiers.

There may be Negra anarchism, but I have never not on one yet you have quashed enough to make the whole race cry out against everysemblance of quarrel. "Not only law-abiding, but amusingly sound, has the Negro beware all the great economic nuance. In a nation where every political craze has found support; where the greenback and the flat money foolishness, Bourished; where Populism grew rampant and where the '18 to '19 silver hereto swapt people before it like claff before the wind; the Negro remained steadfast to the cause of sang finance and the National honor. "Do they say that you are incapable of strong mental exertion or sustained intellectual effort because the cranial sutures of the black child close earlier than the white, and the gray matter of the Negro is chemically different from that of the white man?" Let the laboratories of science make reply and see how they confirm the words uttered by that intellectual giant and sagacious statesman, Alexander Hamilton, more than a hundred years ago, when; speaking of the Negro, he declared: "Their natural Incultures are as good as ours." Ruling Racea Would Degrade All. "In considering the reflections upon your physical and other attributes, remember that practically all the things said against you have been said by the oppressors in all ages. Outside the Romain nation nobility of soul was denied existence. Cultured Greece classed all who were not of Hellenic stock barbarians. The Gentile world was abhorred by the Hebrew of old as unsuspectably vile, though it contained both Greek and Roman. Wript in the serene security of its imaginary superiority, the ruling race has attributed to degrade not others. There are apparently no other ways to be Away back in Near tradition we have Thangrund, the priest, reporting to King Olaf the utter worthlessness in soul, mind and body of the poor Islanders. The Norman included the Saxon with the cattle, and attributed to him every innaguagable sin and nastiness in personal habit and mode of life, just as centuries afterward the Saxon himself did to the unfortunate Jews. A familiar Example of this has been left by that quint old English writer, Sir Thomas Browne, who gravely discussed the question of his day, the alleged maledarous physical character of the subject, an inquiry elaborate inquiry on the subject, an inquiry good in the question and the general good I am pleased to say results in a complete refutation of the popular error of the day. "If Edmund Burke, in the futility of his mighty powers, did not know how to draw an indictment against a nation, what shall be said of those Literary gentlemen in our day, those superficial thinkers, those perverters of historical, physiological and psychological truths, who would by subtle, unworthy appeals to passion and prejudice, confoundation proceedings against a man who has rapidity of its progress all the records of history? Slowly, but surely, the world is coming to understand the actualities of this situation, and so surely as it does will these despicable efforts be relegated merely as an index of the depths to which the mind of man can descend when it yields to ease feeling and that miserable pride of birth and blood. There are few greater crimes than that committed by Him who presidicts his talents to oppress the people, to insult the struggle to rise of him who has downed. These are they of whom Dante speaks as having lost 'the intellectual good.' Illustrac Dipbearing. "Do they declare you to be as a people hopelessly ignorant?" Refer them to the educational reports, which show that the 90 per cent. of illiteracy which characterized the organized slaves at the close of the war is disappearing at a rate so rapid as to insure educators with the belief that notwithstanding the inadmissible school facilities throughout much of the South, illiteracy is disappearing so fast that within twenty years there will not be a child of the Republic unable to read or write. But this condition should be arrived at for here, to be seen twenty years. It will be if the Federal Government performs indiscriminate swabbing of the river, swabble transmission that how will girl born beneath the sea be entitled to a secondary education, and as much more as wants or requires, regardless of her condition or color. The village, district or community with unable to provide proper facilities must be aided by the Nation, no matter what it costs. Expensive? Certainly. But shall a government which is spending more than $100,000,000 a year on its navy, and as much more on its army, and millions upon millions for coast defenses, hesitate to pay whatever price may be necessary to produce the ship that buoys the nation and defenses than all the militries and navies then can be equipped? A federal education bill, I say, is an imperious necessity to the cause of Southern education. I know of the munificent gifts that have been made for this purpose. I appreciate them, one and all, but while efficient they are not sufficient to compel militarily against making anything so viral to the republic as popular education dependent upon the bounty of private individuals. We rejoice in the solvent work that has been done by the Slater and by the Pendyfe funds, but it is not the business of any OLD HOME WEEK IN NEWPORT.

They may do so, but they are under no obligation in the matter. The Nation is, it is under every obligation to provide for its own defence and promote the welfare of its people, and how better can this be done than by educating the manners, the youth who own the coming years? The Government Should Educate the Citizen. "I join in all the praise that can be bestowed upon those upheld institutions with which my friend, your honored President, is forever associated. I yield to none in admiration of his wonderful career and achievements, but I say here, in his presence, before you all, that it is a disgrace to our vaudeville. American civilization that such a man should be compelled to waste his time and energy going up and down the land begging for money to maintain an institution that has demonstrated its tremendous importance to the country, as we have done by Tuskegee. "You vote $5,000,000 for a battlefield and think nothing of it, though it may never touch the National life, and in a few years goes to the scrap heap. Why not vote $5,000,000 to endow Tuskegee and make it a Cornell University of the South? Make it a place where any boy can can find instruction if any branch of loving desire desires. Instead of one Tuskegee there should be no score, and they should not be dependent upon the impulses of public spirited individuals. "If the proposition startles you, because it needs to suggest paternism, let us consider the question. If the Government has not the right to subsidize schools, then by what process of reasoning do you conclude that it has the right to subsidize sugar? If it has not the right to up among its citizens a system of sound public education, how can you vote for legislation that you aim the upbuilding of a successful industrial steel industry, vast woolen and cotton plants, huge silk mills or a gigantic merchant marine? Can you use an advocate of the protective trivolt vote for an application of the principle on the lower levels and refuse it on the higher, on the material but not upon the intellectual plane? Can you vote to protect the tobacco growers of South and refuse to educate the either gay or will not spend one dollar a year per capita for the cause of general education? "I do not argue the power of the Government to do this; that would be superfluous. The National Government has the right to do what every district, parish, county or State is doing and has done almost since the foundations of the Republic. I merely touch the policy and combine it from the vie wpoint of the proactive government. I insist that Federal-abild educational institutions are merely in keeping with the policy of the Administration now in power and should be in keeping with the policy of every Administration worthy of the most progressive Nation in all the world. Axitate: Organize! "You agree, but ask. How shall this be done? How? Why, by mitigation, by public discussion, by combined effort, by organization! What is the secret of modern business? I answer in one word - organization. How are the great fortunes made? Again I answer, organization. That is the secret of material progress. You have the power, if you will only organize it properly. Combined answer. "When Franklin threw his kite up into the clouds, there was no more electricity in the earth or the air than there is to-day. But by organizing this marvellous force civilization has been set forward a thousand years, and fortunes made on a scale beyond the dreams of our force thereof." "You are here the delegates of one of the largest contingents of the American people. The French, the Italians, the Germans, yes, even my own race, the Irish are below you in point of numbers. My people are for an element of our citizenship that is the capability of its progress all around history. Your people have tasted and seen that freedom is good. They have drunk deep at the spring of liberty. They cannot, they will not go backward. Their progress here and there may be impeded, but sweep is onward, and you might be able to cross the Mississippi with a gold boat. You might try to steer Niagara rush with gold boat as to steer the tide of the Meso-American's progress. All the forces that make for relativeness are in his favor. The sympathy of all true men and women of the land are with him, and because the Americas people are neither systematically cruel nor good, the best thought of the Nation is bound to be on his side, and behind him is the conscience of civilization. "Those giant forces of justice, of liberty, of race solidarity, universal brotherhood and that human sympathy which transcends all lines of class distinction, color or color, are more widely distributed every year; and, notwithstanding the dark shadows that still fall across humanity's pathway, notwithstanding the awful obstacles that have still to be overcome, notwithstanding the Slowness of the universal evolution, are more and more justified in the faith we are sweeping into brighter and better days than man has ever known."

She characterized us as the harp which had been hung for 200 or more years until 40 years ago, which was taken down, the dust brushed from it and the broken chords replaced and put in use again by such men as Douglas, Langston, Price, Pinchback, and last nor least, our famous Book T.

The street car company has, it is said, lost $500 a week since the company did not care. It is the stockholders that lose their income. ONE SOLUTION From The Independent The battalion of Negro trainees in the Georgia police is to be disbanded. Why? Because it will not work to have a Negro policeman killed by a white man.

At present they are worshipping in a ball, and while it is very neat it cannot accommodate the congregation. The Fountain-Baptist church, of which the Rey, Edward N. McDaniels is pastor, is the only colored church in the town. He has been there only a short time, but with the co-operation of the people, both white and colored, he is doing good work in that field. Pastor and people seem to be in harmony with each other and they are preparing to purchase two lots to build a church. In June there was a rally among the women who raised $78.50. In August there was a rally among the men, who raised $33.35. The proceeds from these two rallies was put aside for the incidental expenses of the church. Sunday, September 10, was a grand rally. The members and friends were out at each service, in large numbers. Rev. W. Johnson of Abbyssina church preached in the afternoon and night. At night the white people gave the use of their halls, consequently everybody was comfortably seated. There was a short song service and solos and chorus of some of the members. Rev. Mr. Johnson preached a short sermon on the subject, "Selling the birthright." The report of the different tribes was called for by the pastor and they responded as follows: Zebulon, led by Miss V.
