BAD PHILIPPINES SCANDAL DINGRACKFUL INCIDENT AT BANQUE TO SECRETARY TAFT. When Senior Herrera Spoke Denouncing Bitterly Governor Wright and His Association, Governor Curry in a Rage Flung Glass of Champagne Into the Filipino's Face-Report of Incident at Taft's Request Kept Out of the Newspaper—Filipino Slak and Tired of Wright's Regime and Want Him Diamond—Taft's White Appalachian Populate Bilbild Prison. Special Correspondence of Tum Agh MANILA, P. F., August 18.—The political pot boiled as it never boiled before in the Philippines during the visit of Taft's party. The hot air uncorked upon the Filipinos by the visiting junketeers has been met with a full volume of temper from the Filipino side, heated to an unusually high degree. This feeling reached its climax at a dinner given by Senor Arsenio Crun Herram, alqade of the city of Manila and president of the Federal party, to the visiting Congressmen and the Provincial Governors. Senor Herrara improved the occasion by delivering a speech of bitter denunciation of Governor Luke Wright and of the class of Americans sent out here to govern the Philippines, especially the American Commissioners. He made no bones of stating that he and the Filipinos are sick and tired of Wright and his creatures and desire their dismissal, on account of the ineradicable bias against the Filipinos given them by the prejudices against colored, races which residue in the Southern States instills. In short, so inendiary did Senor Herrara's speech seem to Secretary Taft that it was, at his request, kept out the American papers. Senor Herrara said in effect that Governor Wright, while a perfect gentleman personally, is pursuing a policy disastrous to the country and is surrounding himself with and listening to Americans who are not friends of the Filipinos, such as the American Commissioners, who have no friends among the Filipino people any more than has Governor Wright himself. The speaker complained of the abuses of the constabulary, of the suspension of the privilege of habeas corpus and of the lack of personal security; he complained of the omnipotence of executive power in the administration of justice as evidenced by the proceedings ordered against El Renacimiento, which was an attack upon free thought and in direct contravention of the provisions of the Philippines bill and the instructions of McKinley to the Civil Commission. With that desirous policy, Senator Cruz Herrera continued, American sovereignty will never take root and for that reason the Federal party had abandoned its most esteemed annexation and was now favorable independence. He complained that the Commission, not friends of the Filipino people, and asked that the opinion of the natives should be observed in the future, before applicants to the Commission are made. He said that Governor Wright and the American Commissioners are not in harmony with public opinion, and that for this reason he had tendered his resignation, the Commissioners Legarda and Taverna, but that the governor did not accept the resignation. He also complained that Governor Wright and General Corbin had supervised the central committee of festivities which had been charged with arranging the question of the housing of the American Senators and Congressmen and placed them almost actively in the houses of America, evidently with the intention to separate them from the Filipinos, because it was a fact that the houses of rich Filipinos are supposed to those to-day occupied by the houses of the party. Governor George Curry of Samar arose and something in defense of Mr. Wright helping his great rectitude and making that the federalals had gone to the governor and made complaint about the struggles he surely would have attested to the matter. Senior Herrara replied, citing the case of the violation of a woman by a consular officer who has not been punished for his crime, and the trial of the Renacimiento editors, ordered by the Renar, solely because said newspaper discounted the outrages committed. He continued, that the class of Americans are here to govern the Islands and are responsible for the alienation of the people from the American government, characterized them as "gratters" and "virtue despoilers," and asked the visiting Congressmen to send to the Islands a better element of Americans, such as the Filipinos could respect. At this point Governor Curry, who is an American, became so exasperated that he lost control of himself, and leaping to his foot hurled a glass of champagne—all in Herrara's face. The monomium which enamed was terrible, and all accounts of it were kept out of the local and foreign universities. The American who Herrara castigated so bitterly, are full of wrath, and his resignation has been denounced. 11. Renacimiento, the native organ, is now prosecuted for libel by the government charged by an individual, Samuel Baker of the Philippine Convicts who commanded the forces in the Philippines during the recent Baker put into use Weyler's Cullen mine of reconcentration and powder. Renacimiento got its foot into it for his methods and conduct. "This Southern game of making a New World his place by due process of some tall self-advertising tort for the Presidency in He is no friend of the colored whole conduct toward those Philippines shows. Not a colored be appointed to any position in the establishment of the civil Gov- except a few civil service clerks, such many applied for places that right and left to white men, wards disgraced him and the government by proving themselves theories of deepest dye. Billed: is full of his appointees now. His instructions to the Municipal Board about the appointment of colored policemen in Manila was a two-faced figure, as was afterwards proved by testing the matter. The matter of discrimination against colored men in the civil service in the departments under control of the Secretive Commerce and Police, Mr. Forbes, was brought to his attention, and though Forbes perceived it, it could be told by his descent that a subject had been brought to him that he wished had not been brought, and that it ought to be understood that this "benefulent assimilation" business is a white man's concern only.

An instance throwing much light upon the cause of the Afro-American's failure to make good in local Republican politics was the part played by certain leaders of the Monitor League, an Afro-American organization, in the primary fight last week between the Quigg and Douglas forces in the 19th Assembly district. These officers of the League, which was formed ostensibly to promote the best interests, literary, social, business and political, of the Afro-American citizens of the West Side forgot the lofty objects which it professed so far as to commit an act of flagrant political perfidy, in that after solemnly pledging the League's support to the organization, they yielded to the solicitation of ex-Congressman Douglas and deserted to his side. As was natural and just, this treachery lost the League the confidence of the people and helped to cause the candidates for whom it was working, to meet an overwhelming defeat in the colored districts. A few days before the primary fight a delegation representing the Monitor League, with Mr. William R. Davis as spokesman, appeared before Mr. Theodore P. Gilman, leader of the regular Republican organization of the Bith Assembly district, and unconditionally pledged the League to the support of the organization. On the basis of this pledge the League's president, Mr. James H. Anderson, was placed upon the organization's primary ticket, which, as it was, was secured by promises which were not fulfilled, he has not yet had the descent to resign. Notwithstanding this solemn pledge and the recognition accepted therefore at the hands of the organization, a couple of days before the primary two or three of the leaders of the League, after some conversation, peculiarly convincing to some with Douglass's background, themselves about the sanction of the League as a whole and even without consulting it to authorize the publication from the Douglass headquarters of a letter urging the members of the League and the Afro-American voters of the district to support the faction opposing Mr. Quigg and Mr. Gilman to whose support the League was already pledged, and to whom the Afro-American voters of the district to give to the opposing to give a considerable number of the Monitor League members joined their leaders in deserting the organization and repudiating their promises. It is just such cases as thi of the Monitor League—cases in which Afro-Americans not only refuse to work for their own best interests, but display ingratitude for the efforts of others in their behalf—which are causing the race to lose its grip not only in politics but in the domestic and skilled occupations. The Monitor League, however, like our old friend the dog in the fable which dropped its bone to snatch at a shadow in the stream, went down in the defeat of ex-Congressman Douglas after deserting Hon. Lemuel E. Quigg. Afro-Americans must learn if they are ever to succeed as a race, to rate principal higher than dollars; and to remember that when they support their friends they may desert them they lose even the friends they have. $92.50 FOR PETERSBURG Y.

Remarkable Slowing of the 29th Assembly District Which Has More Afro-American Committees, Captains and Delegates to Conventions Than All the Rest of New York City Combined—The Waterloo of James O. Wright—Are We Losing Our Grip in Local Republican Politics? As the primary returns from all over the city are unravelled and dissected the more they demonstrate the impotency of the Afro-American citizen as a positive factor in the machine Republican politics of the city, with the exception of one district, the 10th Assembly, in which the Afro-American citizen has made very important and material gains. A summary of the most important results affecting our race in the many hot primary fights from the Battery to the Bronx regarding the most important committees and conventions on the primary tickets shows the downfall of a number of heretofore political lights and the appearance of new stars in the political firmament. The most important conventions and committees are: The city committee; the county committee, which is virtually the controlling and party-governing body of the affairs of the county locally and controls the relations of city to State politics; the city convention, which nominates the mayoralty ticket, and the judicial convention, which nominates the judges who hand out justice to thousands of citizens of Greater New York annually. In the Bronx, as far as getting into the machine proper, the colored brother was left at the post, although a number were in training for the race, and Robert Tucker and his cohorts were all in line. In the 31st Assembly district there occurred one of those startling political reversals which make the average politician sit up and rub his eyes. Mr. J. O. Wright, who has been for years a power in local politics, who has at times been in a commanding position among the Afro-American voters both on the stump and in effective organization work, who has represented the race in many official positions during the many years of his political ascendency, who has had his Jena and Austenlitz, not a disastrous Waterloo. Failing to be placed upon the regular Republican ticket in his district before he was dissatisfaction, he go out in a ticket of his dissatisfaction. Jena H. Cambridge's waterful eyes and Philip A. Payton's joyful smile. Wright was buried beneath an avalanche of ballots. Robert Plummer was elected to the county committee to succeed Mr. Wright. In the 21st Assembly district, Mr. Charles W. Anderson's district, presided over by Abe Gruber, John W. Overton was elected captain of his district and also a member of the county committee. In the 22th, Senator Elseberg's district, the old veteran war-horse, Majer Poole, who has been on the firing line for over 28 years, held his own and was elected a member of the city committee. In the 27th Assembly district, in which the Colored Republican club of the city New York is situated, John Galfhorn, member of the county committee, and W. H. Butler, of long service, came to the party in his district and city was elected captain of the 4th Election district for the eighth time and a member of the city committee. In the 17th, presided over by John P. Windolph, G. M. Keith was elected to the county committee and Jailus M. Watson, president of the 17th Assembly district Colored Republican club, was elected to the city convention. In the 18th, in which there was a very hot primary fight between Joveshoff and Blake, the election has been contested, so that the successful colored nominees will not be known until the decision. In the 17th Assembly district, notwithstanding the strong colored vote in 57th and 59th streets, not a man was elected to an important convention, which shows there is something rotten in Denmark. One of the strange results, and one due to Hon. Lemuel E. Quiggy and Leader Theodore P. Gilman, is that in the 19th Assembly district there were elected more Afro-American delegates, members of the city and county committees and captains of election districts, than there are in all the rest of New York city combined. In the great primary fight of the Douglas forces against Theodore P. Gilman, in which ex-Congressman Douglas's ticket—which had upon it only two colored men—was disastrously beaten, the regular Republican ticket elected seven representative Afro-Americans as members of the city committee; Messrs. Jacob C. Sanders, George W. Stenson, Ed. Smith, Geo. Silas, George W. Baptiste, Fleming W. Jackson and Robert Willis. On the county committee five were elected; Gilchrist Stewart; George W. Baptiste, James H. Anderson, Robert Hartley and Fleming W. Jackson; to the city as mayoralty convention, Gilchrist Stewart and George W. Baptiste, and to the judicial convention, Gilchrist Stewart. Six colored captains were elected. The Republican organization of the 19th Assembly district and Mr. Quigg should be congratulated upon the splendid recognition given to the colored voters of the 19th. The fact that one district have more Afro-American representatives in the Republican machine than all the other districts to assembly districts of New York put together speaks volumes for the Afro-American voters of the district and is a recognition of their political worth that they should well and fully appreciate. The efforts and successful methods of Mr. Gilchrist Stewart to build up his own district to a commanding position in local affairs is worthy of serious study by our Afro-American politicians. Celebrate Joint Birthdays JERSEY CITY, September 26. -Mr. and Mrs. W. T. Garden and Mr. and Mrs. W. C. Quinn gave a joint birthday reception last Monday night for their daughters. Misses Eddyne E.

Mr. Bicknell to Cover All Sections of the City So That Road Will Have to Use Abhorred "Jim Crow," Corso 80,000 of Union Transportation Stock Subscribers—Atten to Be Dedicated at Public Festival When All Will Get a Free Ride—Company's Office Will Serve Grettie—The Charleston Bay Street Car Conductors Delight to Insult Afro-American Lodges. Special Correspondence of Tus Agr. NASUILLE, Tenn., September 22—The stockholders of the Union Transportation company held a largely attended and enthusiastic meeting last night in the chapel of the National Baptist Publishing, Board. The most important feature was the determining of the routes to be followed by the five automobiles which the company will operate to assist the boycott pronounced by the Afro-Americans of this city against the "Jim Crow" street car lines. Mr. Luke Mason, chairman of the route committee, reported. He said that in the consideration of different lines proposed there, were several things to be thought over. First, the condition of the streets, the grades and the length. The routes as presented, he said, were as near perfect, taking into consideration all things, as he thought could be selected. The routes submitted are as follows: North Nashville—From Summer street through Summer to Jefferson, through Jefferson to Tweed. West Nashville—From Summer to Union, down Union to Spruce, out Spruce to South; down South to Kayne avenue and out Kayne avenue to Edgehill. South Nashville—From Summer to Ash, from Ash to Market, from Market to Lafayette, from Lafayette to Wharf avenue, from Wharf avenue to Green street, from Green to Fairfield, and from Fairfield on to Fillmore and out to the end of the car line. This is the longest route of the four. East Nashville—Bridge to First, First to Berry, Berry to Lischech, Lischech to Foster, Foster to Seventh, Seventh to Main and return. In some discussion these lines were adopted, subject to what minor changes the executive, board of the company might care to make. The by-laws, which were submitted by Mr. J. C. Napier, chairman of a committee, were read and, on motion, were laid over to the next meeting, when the board of directors should have had time to thoroughly examine them. With their approval the stockholders would upon them, putions bearing the pictures of the company's automobiles were then offered at 6 cents apiece and met with a good sale. Something over $200 was paid up on outstanding stock, making a total announced by the secretary a paid 18,000 of subscribed stock yet, to be paid for. Besides the four cars bought in New York, which will operate on the above lines, the organization also possesses an inventory of the four cars. Boyd has offered the use of his machine to the company, and it is not unlikely that it will be accepted. If it is, the other additional machine will be given a route and Dr. Boyd's car will be kept in the office. The entertainment committee next reported through its chairman, D. A. Hart, who announced that all arrangements had been made for the dedicatory services of the occasion, the date to be set later. He declared that 5,000 tickets for the occasions would come from the press today and an additional 5,000 later. All those attending the exercises, which will take place at the company, will be given a free ride in the machine. "The Negroes of this city are more united in efforts to discourage Jim Crowism than they have ever been against any project of any kind. Men, women and children are full determined that the Rise of the Immigrant Portation company, a Negro business enterprise that came into existence for the purpose of affording relief, has turned loose the motor cars for their accommodation. Five of these cars are now on the road, and as soon as the patronage warrants it as many more will be purchased. Negroes in the Rise of the Immigrant car for any purpose after these motor cars have been pressed into service, is, to all intents and purposes, an enemy to his race. "We desire to live peacefully with our white neighbors. They have passed the law creating the Jim Crow section. We do not mind that we will not violate it if we stay off the cars. Most of the street car conductors have no respect for our women; they delight to insult and make attempts to humiliate them. As a rule women will resent insults, no matter by how much they hurt them, unyms of them, feel that they have the right, because they are white, to assault them. There has been trouble of this kind already. We do not wish for more. Our wives and daughters and female relatives will resent insults to them fondly and tenderly and feel that it is our duty to protect them. In view of that feeling it is wise, judicious and discreet to keep them off the Jim Crow' car, and thereby shun the appearance of evil. We admonish the colored women to stay off the cars by all means. The motor cars will arrive in a few days; the Negroes will be afforded the relief that they so much desire, and we will all be further removed from the possibility of humiliation and friction, on account of their race. In view of such relief, we can afford to walk a little longer." "I tell you there is good red blood in Booker T. Washington," says Bailey Millard, in a story entitled "The Wider Bounda," in the October issue of *The Cosmopolitan*. Had this writer started out to write an allegory he could hardly have, done better. But it he intends it as a prophecy he could hardly have done worse. It is interesting to review this story. A. "big black stallion," called Booker T. Washington, in the possession of a nee-do-well rancher is taken out to the prairies beyond the Panhandle to assist in catching wild muskangs. On the morning before the hunt, Maldie, the wife of the ranchman, who dots on the "big black stallion," essays to ride him. The stallion then, in a mad gallop to overtake a herd of wild mustangs seem in the distance, flings Maldie to the ground. Al. Rawston, her husband, accompanied by two men and some Indians in his employ most undertakes to rope-in not only the black stallion but also corral the whole herd of untamed horses. From this point onwards, this assumedly allegorical sketch takes on an added interest. We are told in the words which open this review, that "Booker T. Washington in him has good red blood." Booker T. apparently does not believe this leadership of the pursued muskets. On and over on the chase continued. Over knolls and hillocks ran the horses and behind thundered the ranchmen, determined as ever to again enslave Booker T. and his herd. Hour after hour the chase continued. But it was obvious, Mindell allegory that Booker T. having once tasted a sense of liberty, was determined not to be caught again. "From being a halted slave, bidden here and there and made to do what not loathsome deserves of servility, he was now a very Solomon. And, the tumultuous wildness of the feel of being alive on the illimitable desert, in the sun and the wind." "But soon he heard the snorts of the herd to windward. They had caught the evil news of the coming trailers, for whose event they were subtly alert, and so on they must go again, and Booker with it was true, but not unassailable, after the war would halt, the herd at his heels, submissive to his will, and would look for the danger signs. Yes, there were the trailers—two men, never more—one riding behind and one to the right of the band, swainting them about in a great hunt, though Booker the rule of the borehunt, those behind, with the compelling man-minds, shall keep those of the less crafty horse-minds ever circling, circling, that the two in pursuit may be relayed and rested until their turn shall come again, but there shall be no rest for the man-minds, and no grass nor water save what he sees, unarmed, thirstily, weary, but only passing all insufficiently, a mere grab at the grass, a sit at the water, now and again. "Booker," head and shoulders above them all, would look over the retreating army wavering behind him, and try to charge them with his indomitable spirit. But the herd had guarded the harb of oats and clean, sweet alfalfa which had been portion for two years. They were not like him, bottomed and muscled and above all spirited with living. They were tough enough, but they were racked and had not his blood and well-being. It was as the blacksmith had said, common house might be worn by him, but he had lead now, the monarch chafed to see his lagged subjects waver, with drooped heads and halting boots. All the urge of his great, great force eroded forth in his commanding neighs. It irked him desperately to note their rallies grow colder, but they not see the meauring of his Wizard. He belonged by the class? Oh, if but to them, as to him, freedom were something now, and large and full of vital meaning, would they not keep it at any cost? They come the endings of this alley. The field is finally captured and driven into a corral, all but Booker. To the breakouts away along the wide terrain and incidentally to freedom, "The form of the scouring horse," writes the author, "thrilled into the twilight, scouring on alone. Alone, all alone, out on the ground, in the dark, loved of his youth, fading forward in an ostasy of high feeling as one who had valiantly fought for freedom and gloriously won. This is the gift of "The White Bass." Will this problem badly hold under the gaze of a story in a dime magazine prove true? Will the Afro-Americans of the present and future-generation prove true to themselves, or will they, hempseed as they are at every small mind, allow themselves to be caught in the corral of the strenuous times ahead? I am of the opinion that the writer of "The Wider Bounds" in his anxiety to play to the gallery of popular affective styles, and that he missed his mark, that is, if he did not at once. He apparently has not been following the trend of recent events. Our race, spring from the Negrid stock, has no intention of being again compelled to play to the gallery, should the time ever again arrive, when the hunt of the trailers takes on an amount of zest more irksome than that now adopted. Bailey Millard will be disillusioned with surprise to find that Booker T. Washington will be of one kinsman who, having tasted of the sweets of liberty, are averse to any retrogressive conditions whatever, whether positive or social or tending to interfere with the lives of others. As will be seen "the Wider Bounds" has struck a sharp note. It has portrayed and emphasized a growing feeling in the hearts of the whites of the South, perhaps—who . . . knows?—it may have intelligent person not intended. No intelligent person may but will have noted its personal tone. However, we can console ourselves when we count that since the days of the ancients, when that sacred oracle delivered dictums to the people, unto this day oracles and their prophecies have invariably proved fakes! NAZ. WOOLFORD. September 23, 1905.

"We don't rejoice as a result of the abuse of Booker T. Washington by Southern daily papers, because we know they are but "black women." Washington is a sort of "blind" target. This is the situation pure and simple. Special Correspondence of Two Am. We are at home again after an absence of nearly three months and we realize that, no matter how many wonderful sights one may see in far-lands, nothing can come quite so close to the heart as the sight of old friends. We came back on the Cunard line Lucania, and the trip was similar to the one going over except that the weather was colder and the sea rougher. No. I almost forgot; we had one very exciting day, the 30th of August. On that day we observed an eclipse of the sun, sighted four whales, and ran into the close proximity of an iceberg. Of all these sights the iceberg was, by far, the most interesting. Old sea-goers aboard said that it was the largest they had ever run across. It was indeed wonderful and beautiful to see. We felt its effects before we were in sight of it; the temperate troposphere several degrees. Last night we watched horizon many of the passengers, to whom meeting an iceberg, was a new experience, declared that it was a white-hulled man-of-war. As we drew nearer it bounced up a magnificent mountain of ice. It glistened in the sun like a mammoth diamond, cut with a million facets. As we passed it we saw different angles of vision it assumed new and astonishing forms of beauty. I watched it through a pair of powerful marine glasses, and I looked closely to verify my early conception of an iceberg. In the geographies of my grammar school I saw the pictures of icebergs always indisputably upon one of the snowy icecars. I looked for the bear, but if he was there he refused to put himself on exhibition. Although I am now back in New York, I think I may be allowed to follow out the thread which I broke in my last letter from London—a comparison of the course of the city with the course of a person with sufficient power of observation and with literacy; ability could write a comparison of the cities of London and Paris which would fill a fair sized book, and the same would prove. I believe, a good comparative study of the cities of London and Paris is remarkable how these two cities typify the two peoples that built them. Paris is the concrete expression of the geyser, the brightness, the love of art, and I might well add, the morality of the French people, London stands for the humanity of the people, the humanism, and I might well add, the hypocrisy of the Anglo-Saxon. It may sound odd to speak of the mortality of the French if not of the hypocrisy of the Anglo-Saxon, but this seeming paradox is a deep truth. I saw many times in Paris which were immoral accusations to English men, but the absence of hypocrisy, the absence of any attempt to cover up or hide, robbed these very immoralities of the damning influence of the same evils in London. I have walked along the terrace café in Paris and soon hundreds their beer and wine without sipping their beer and wine without a single sign of drunkenness; as they drank they chatted and laughed and watched the passing crowds; the drinking seemed to be a secondary thing. In London I have seen in the "pulp" as the are called, men and women crowded together in heavy English alcohols and drinking seemingly only for the pleasure of swallowing as much as they could hold. I have seen there women from eighteen to eighty, some in tatters and some clutching babies in their arms, drinking heavy English alcohols and thought that if some men and women will drink, it is not better that they do so under the open sky, in the fresh air, than bubbled together in some close and smoky room? I saw in London within a few days more drunken men and women in English democracy, more examples of poverty than I saw during my whole stay in Paris. There seems to be a sort of frankness about the cilia of Paris that role them of much of the subjectiveness of things for children, and with that frankness goes a certain dehumanization of thought belonging to things not held in. That thought was strangely met with me on the day I took a trolley ride through the great square of Paris. At some points this comparison between the French and the English is amusing; in England it is considerer-shocking to public morals for men and women to be together at the sea shore, to be together at the beach, to be together for an actor to kiss an actress on the mouth. The fact is that many things which the English consider just a bit over the line are looked upon by the French as an incarnation and mirroring. It may be that the French are more moral and otherwise in the French is not so bich as in the English, but after what I have seen of the people of Paris and London, and of the effects of the corpse-suicide in the two cities, I am much on my feet. I have concluded that the Anglo-Saxon will commit as many evils as the French of so called loose morals if he can only do so secretly. Bernard Shaw says that an Englishman will do anything that he can hide and a principle that he can hide is that he will rob his principles, he will rob you on business principles, he will bully you on munty principles, he will oppress the onlinie principles, he will shoot down dolemess natives in Africa on imperialist principles, he will rob you on business principles, at an rate far surer than what may seem to be the remarkable conclusion that of London and Paris the latter is the less moral city. I could carry this line of thought far beyond ordinary newspaper limits but I must get the point across. I am not a series of letters, which, to me at least, has been a pleasure. Excepting a few passing ships, nothing of interest attracted our attention until we sighted Montauk Point; then every alaband looked with strained eyes at the sandy shore, and Sandy Hook. We reached the Hook at six o'clock in the evening—ten hours ahead of the ordinary time, because, we took the shorter northern route—and just in time to see the bursting blaze of fire on Coney Island as the lights were lit. We steamed up the harbor, and were docked by a little after eight o'clock. But to get in dock at eight o'clock on a trans-Atlantic steamer does not mean to shore at shore, but to fully three hours with the custom house officials. Such an ordal is almost enough to make a free-trader of a fellow. As soon as we, got out of the custom house, took the cabin and drove home; and on another row, to me, was the event of a lifetime.

KNIGHTS PYTHIAS PROGRESS Order of Eastern and Western Hemispheres Has 10,000 Members. It is not generally known that there are two separate divisions of the Knights of Pathias, one being the Knights of Pythias of the Eastern and Western Hemispheres, and the other the Knights of Pathias of North America, South America, England, Asia and Africa. The Division between them occurred about 100 years ago, and the formation of enclave, the rock on which so many fraternal organizations have split. The former flourishes mostly in the East, but has strongly entrenched itself in parts of the South, in Missouri and in California. Its strongholds are Maryland, New York, New Jersey and New England. Its central session of its supreme lodge held in Kansas City, Mo., preparations were made for spreading its borders, and for increasing its great usefulness to the men and women of the race. The women, the wives, sisters and daughters of the Knights, are gathered together in a strong organization known as the Auxiliary Court of Calanthe. Since the meeting of its first supreme lodge in 1858 it has grown wonderfully, until now it has more than ten thousand adherents. The supreme chancellor recently elected is W. Ashleigh Hawkins, a successful Baltimore lawyer; the vice-chancellor, Dr. T. C. Thunkhaw, one of the most successful West; its supreme keeper of records soils, Wm. Grandison, is a printer of Cambridge, Mass., and one of its most honored and respected citizens; Mr. Julius B. Loving, of Los Angeles, Cal., the recently elected supreme master-at-arms, of the Pacific coast; and its officers generally are reputable citizens in the communities where they reside. The order is said to be in a healthy condition financially, its obligations being promptly met and its membership constantly on the increase.

Staff, Correspondence of The Age. Boston, September 25.—To hear some colored men talk or write one might very well suppose that the colored race is composed entirely of professional and scholarly people, and that there is among us a servant class. One could not possibly imagine that the first class is in point of numbers vastly inferior to the second class. The word "servant" doth easily affect such colored men as a red rat affects a bull. What does a red rat say to the taurine mind to make it so instantly and furiously mad? What, we have often wondered, is the untranslatable insult, the intolerable implication which the sight of this particular color awaits as afresh in the soul of this huge brute every time it is seen? Is it, perchance, blood that it typifies for it, and the struggle to the death through dim ages in which the species bull hath ever been engaged with the species bull for local leadership and survivorship, involving the settlement by the arbitrament of forms of certain exclusive possessory rights of a sentimental nature, which seek for the monce to be imperilled by this danger signal? We know not, and confess our inability to interpret this phenomenon since there has never yet been involved a bull of sufficient mentality who has been able to go psychologically into the causation of it except in the ordinary emotional way of pretence. But a alain! is common to all birds who have ever looked upon a bird which is red. We shall beg, thereafter, to be allowed to turn from this alain! riddle to its more easily understood analogue. Why does the word "berrant" affect the minds of some colored men in this full-like way? Say it to them or in their hearing, or even write it, and forthwith dust begins to fly, horns are lowed, and sounds quite taurine startle the air and make the blood of us to froze in our veins from the sheer terror of the annihilating wrath, which is to go believing around loose to the immigrant pard of all who happen to utter this novel word above a whisper, in prince whispers, to speak it while down these men come plunging, moving madly the while, upon the hapiness of their mighty anger, mighty tense of sound, if in nothing else, but as sound counts for more than sense in life, these men are forever manufacturing sound on this which is in it precious little. I like Shakespeare's Bottom, never acquired the fine art of being gently as any turtle dove, the figure a moment, but when he to roaring on this subject with all the blastant credulity of the fable. The noise is coring to all who may be忆e source of the source from the scene. But those who are content it is not terror which is it but laughter, which would loud and long did not contempt the scene to turn it into some- then, is the exciting cause which the servant holds for some col- labor. Sometimes man put a thing in the day, and enclose a smaller box larger box. They do the same main way with their thoughts, and enter to get at those thoughts open the inner after opening and closing them. Now, we fancy, if anyone take the experiment, that in word "servant" will be found and "slavery," and that in it found the thought, the exciting which benefits certain colored men and sets them to enacting of the proverbial bull who of the proverbial red rag, hear or see it. We are know of those colored men who and under such circum- fusion of the ones who only make the subject on every when they have some appropriate activity. These shall come in in due time. They will be tested before the conclusion of "invariant," then, is connected of the people of the first slave. To utter the in their hearing invariably from the dark past the are entombed in the latter what ghosts they are, too—countless myriads of black weeping to their graves darkles on their feet, with their hands, hereditary and drawers of water for All the terror of the first entered in Africa, all the nature of the middle pass the dark continent in slave centuries of the brutalizing race in America, they are chambered horrors of the slavey." The spoken it is like lifting the lid long horror, the thrower upon all this entombed the waiting, the weeping, of each of long dead multi-multi-without hope, with de-hearts, and about whom an beautiful association set in which will sound for some in this word "slave" as in this word voices of the sea in sorts of the chambered Nau- though slavery is a thing of and the chattel slave has be- comed in America, the associ- ation with those words are not of the past.

They can why the word affects more than a bull can ex-erase a rag affects it so. The insult, the intolerable im- the one any more than the impossible to define. But it is blood, stored up as a sort of in the nature of the bull instinct the instinct of some objection in the word "servant" the race's degradation in the Well, those hypersensitive people do not need to say this to Mr. Villard or to a white lady who with the host intentions in the world addressed to her confusion an audience of colored ladies not many months ago in a Southern city on the servant problem. For they are both fully aware of this fact, and would be the last people in the country to do aught to wound the self-respect, the aspirations of those colored people who have risen socially above the servant class. They would reflect the attention reflected more credit on some of us than we deserve, they assumed that the colored people who are not servants would be interested in those who are. The white man, like Mr. Villard, or the woman, like the friend just referred to, speaks to those of us who are not servants the better to help those of us who are servants. They speak to those who are up that they might extend to those who are down a helping hand. How are those who are still servants ever to climb out of this class into a higher one? By continuing to be poor servants, ignorant servants, trifling servants? Or by becoming the vice president of those who are well educated, so intelligently that the opportunity comes to them, a door opens to them to escape from mental to more honorable work? It is so with the white race. It will be no different with us. In fact, it has been no different with us. Then what is to happen to those of us who are down if those of us who are up despise them because they are down? We have got to help one another, the lowest, the humblest, the most ignorant, who are the many, to get up to something higher, to the higher ideals, to the better work of the few, if the whole of us are to go forward and upward in American life. And the whole of us have got to get a move on us in a hard place, but en masse every time, to the infinite hurt of those individuals who have got a move on them toward the highest and the best which may be reached in this industrial Republic. In addition to this larger class of morbidity sensitive colored people there is a smaller and noisier clique, which is composed of men who are not sensitive at all on this subject but who make believe that they are for the purpose of venting their personal malice upon other colored people whom they do not like. These men are not in the least sensitive on this servant question. For they have been in prison in person or in their friends that rival in thickness and toughness the hide of a rhinoceros. Their friends say, anything relative to the problem, even to the pointing out the shortcomings of the race in respect to the kind of work turned out by it in competition with other servant bodies, and no word of wail or protest or denunciation will anyone hear from such people. But the moment a person unfriendly to them or to whom they are unfriendly utters the word "servant" above a whisper in public the rracket begins. All that is meant, most malignant in poor human nature rises to the surface of such people under such circumstances as bubbles rise to the surface over a dead body rotting at the bottom of some pond. One knows in the case of a man who is in a location of the bibulous nose lying at the bottom of the pond or at the bottom of the souls of such people. They have blotted, decomposing and bideous at the bottom of their souls but three principles. The first of these is self, the second is self, and the third is self. And when that self, distended and stinking, rises to the surface the air all about is filled with the vilest stench that it is in the power of the Devil to get out of this human heart, which, according to Bible authority, is "deceitful above all things and desperately wicked." Verbum sat sapicit. Let such people keep their toasted solves out of sight and smell at the bottom of their little souls. (Gregory CHRISTIAN ENDEAVOR CONCERT At Eaglewood Made Unusual Hit- Sermon to Young True Reformers. ENOLKWOOD, N. J., September 26. The regular monthly social of the Y. P. S. C. E. of Bethany Presbyterian chapel on Tuesday evening, September 19, was one of the best entertainments every way that has been given by the social com- mittee.

Industrial education of the Afro-American has taken great strides South and is gradually creeping North. Last fall Prof. P. J. Pinkston opened a Normal and Industrial Institute in the thriving village of Pleasantville, which contains many Afro-American property owners. The school will reopen the first Monday in October with a very promising corps of teachers. Among them is Miss Alberta Raven Scott of Fisks University, Nashville, Tann., for the Normal department. Miss Ellie E. Housworth, a graduate of Traskee Institute, will instruct the sewing classes. It is quite likely that many Southern students who did not earn quite enough to return to their favorite school will avail themselves of the opportunity to continue their studies nearer home. All the churches are progressing nicely and voting their Pastors vacations. Rev. A. L. Murray of St. James A. M. E. church will have the entire month of October. Rev. J. D. Herbin has been recalled to supply the pulpit of Second Baptist for three month's more. The Seashore Home and Sanitarium, one of the noblest institutions of its kind, has removed to a well-appointed building of its own at 808 Arctic avenue. The work is progressing under the leadership of such standard bearers as the president, Rev. Dr. Jenkins; secretary, D. W. B. Fayerman, and Mrs. L. Neely, head of the executive committee of the Ladies' military service officers are welcome every day from 2 to 6 p.m. The baseball season here was a great success. The Philadelphia Giants were the heaviest drawing card at Inlet Park, though the home team was very popular. The All-Collegiate won many a game, but were outpointed by the Giants, who took all three games from the Brooklyn Giants. Many wish we had a football team. DINGWALL - BRADLEY MARRIAGE A Pretty Ceremony in New Haven— William Fenderson Inlured. NEW HAVEN, September 25.—On the evening of September 20 a pretty and fashionable wedding was solemnized at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Richard H. Muse of 160 Russell street, when Miss Sarah Elizabeth, the daughter of Mrs. Sarah F. Bradley, was united in marriage to Mr. Joseph Nathaniel Dingwall of Jamaica, W. I. The ceremony was performed by Rev. J. W. Davis, pastor of the Zion A. M. E. church on Foote street. The bride, attired in a superb gown of point desprit, with her white tulle veil caught up with orange blossoms, wearing a necklace over one hundred years old and carrying a huge bouquet of white asters, entered the parlor, which was pretty decorated with vines and flowers, on the arm of her niece, Mr. Muse. They were pressed by the ushers, Messrs. Frank Bradley, brother of the bride, her two cousins, Thomas and Edward Bradley, and Frederick Hendrickson. Miss Alice P. Bradley, sister of the bride, was maid of honor and was handsomely gowned in pale green silk and carried flowers; while the bridemaid, Miss Martha Wylie of Yorkville, S. C., was attractively dressed in white Perlawn lawn and carried flowers. The groom was attended by Mr. Harry Wylie and Mr. Charles H. Phillips acted as master of ceremonies. Mrs. Bradley, the bride's mother, and Mrs. Muse, the bride's aunt, assisted in receiving the guests, who numbered about two hundred. Many useful and handsome presents in silver, cut glass, linen and pictures were received. After the ceremony the bride and groom received their friends from S to 10 o'clock. The menu consisted of chicken salad, ice cream and cake. Mr. and Mrs. Dingwall will reside at 169 Bayside Street. Mr. Frederick Cowes of 4S Webster street, who has been quite indisposed for the past two weeks, is now able to resume his work. Mr. William Fenderson of Webster street, the son of Mr. and Mrs. James E. Fenderson, met with a serious accident-last Friday. Young Fenderson is a presser at the Scott tailoring establishment on Chapel street, and as he started downstairs from the drying room he made a misstep and fell headlong to the bottom, breaking two ribs and receiving other injuries about the body. The patient is doing as well as can be expected under the care of Dr. William Pitt Baldwin. Mr. St. Luke's P. E. church Sunday morning. Rev. Eugene L. Henderson preached on interesting sermon. Mr. Augustus Perry, organist of the church, has resumed his place at the organ after two months' absence, and his presence is highly gratifying to the congregation. "SUPERIOR RACE" BENEVOLENCE. From The Independent. We have nothing to boast of in the way we have treated our native Indian tribes, and the white race in South Africa, English and Dutch, treat their native tribes no better. At Cape Town a native is not allowed to sign on the sidewalk. We see that in the Transvaal what is called the Progressive Association has been formed to refuse to allow any native to purchase land in the country which a few years ago was all their own.

Regular Correspondence of the Ame TENNINNATI, O., September 21.—Two very interesting facts were developed at the event meeting of the National Afro- American Council in Detroit. First that there are two views taken of the cause for the present political impotency of the Afro-American in the South; one being that it is largely the fault of the colored brother himself; the other that only the white disfranchiser is to be behead. Secondly, that two views, oppose and equally pronounced, regard the wisdom of reducing Southern information in Congress as a penalty for disfranchising the colored voter, are attributed by some of the oldest men and women) of the race. D. A. Straker, Esq., an able member of the Detroit bar, was invited to address the Council on the second day of its receptions. He took for the text of his conversations the speech of J. C. Nairn, Esq., made the day before, in which Mr. Nairn maintained that the colored lives very little, real interest in and cannot be induced to do so in these numbers, even where he is free. These views, though painfully minor, were advanced with courage and brave. The next day, as has been stated, Mr. Straker set himself to pull Mr. Nairn's hot air castles, and went about it with the latest ontological machinery, compressed air being the most power. His thrusts were keen and assisted in the back action by the rope coupling approach of Mr. Mary Church Torrell, who had finally told Mr. Nairp to his mildly impressed face that he "didn't believe a word of it." Just think of that from the wife of a judge to the husband of a wives' wife! When Mr. Straker got into full action, and began to throw lyddite shells, minnie bolls and buckshot all from the same stance, these missiles did great execution, sometimes concentrating themselves in Mr. Napier's breast within the space of a pocket handkerchief and then by the unseen pressure of a new thrust. Scrambling themselves like the reader of a fan-tail pigeon till they were all in sight. Of course, like all institutions which artists play upon, we of the audience gave out a ringing re In the meantime, what of Mr. Napier? I have promise of a strong reply by my co-worker. Dead game, he pro- vides every day smile at this full function and sat through the scene from a frigid of a refrigerated sub- 房.

Then is born of a deep expect- part of their breathless pardoned contemplate the of the other side and (1) It is true, you elect based on the colored conclusion that the white South would retrace its steps and restore the suffrage to the Afro-American in order to get back its power in Congress and the Electoral College we do not believe, for the following reason: There must representative of the prevailing thought of that section may, as between Negro suffrage and reduction, the South will accept the latter, and it is reasonable to suppose this declaration sincere because such a course would really be to their party infarent, since accuring full representation by granting the full suffrage would fast meet of the 40 Congressmen in question on the Republican side where as they are now Democratic and under reduction would also be lost to Republicans; also the moral effect of reduction by elimination would be to ease American conscience and accustom the Nation to see the Government go on without the colored voter, and it would be counted a closed incident. (3) Another effect in Northern States where the colored voter is large enough to be determinative, would be to induce the sentiment that if the elections in the South are exclusively a white man's affair, it is unreasonable to ask the Northern States to submit to "Negro domination," and a demand for elimination with reduction would meet with favor not success. (4) It is fallacious to the statement allowed a vote would restore a republican form of government in the South, for permission to do with honor a thing in its nature dishonorable does not reform the do not benefit the body politic. It is equivalent to sending the horse thief, a bill of the animal stolen. (5) Even if your belief that the South would restore the Afro-American the voting privileges under the pressure of reduction, which we do not believe, still many years must pass before the sentiment could form and the restoration be accomplished: in that period the natural growth of the South in white population would restore the former strength of the section in the National councils and suggest letting well enough alone; and also in that time the Afro-American, rapidly becoming wealthy and accustomed to being relieved of city and political duties, would consent by his灵敏ness to the status quo, especially if it were well governed. (6) With regard to the constitutionality of the reduction process there is also some question, since some legal lights hold that the Fifteenth Amendment is abrogatory of the suffrage section of the Fourteenth, rendering invalid and of none effect the reduction penalty by超缩ing it and absolutely forbidding any repression or interference with the suffrage rights of citizens on account of color, etc., regardless of penalty. (7) But leaving that to a judicial decision, and granting that reduction is still constitutional, there are two other constitutional processes logically and morally taking precedence of that one; they are, invoking, till there can be no evidence, judicial decision on the constitutionality of the disfranchising devices of the South, and second, forcing Congress to unseat every member who holds his seat by the suppression of legal voters. Both of these are constitutional and neither has been excursed. Either would restore the Afro-American to his rights, without a single objection or questionable result. If there be not enough of civic stanin in Court and Congress to pursue this clear course of duty, and so for there has not been, then there is little hope of finding our lost National rightiness by charging a price for the theft of it. Let us therefore bring the issue squarely before the Supreme Court and Congress first and submit to disfranchisement with reduction as a last and a desperate resort. Exit anti-reductionists. Undoubtedly, we shall hear much of both these arguments this winter in Washington, as well as through the papers. The main thing is to keep cool and not see dragons every time we find a man who does not agree with us. A man's value, other things being equal, is to be rated by his sincerity and independence, rather than by his savvity and subservience. H. T. KEALING. MRS. S. THOMPSON OF TROY DEAD. Had Lately Celebrated Golden Wedding Nearby, Kelly off to Cornell. Troy, September 25.—The funeral of Mrs. Phinee Ann Thompson, wife of Samuel Thompson, was held on September 20 from Zion A. M.

Mr. Kelly was tendered a surprise Monday evening in honor of his himself and his Sabbath school class at the Hester C. Jeffery club rooms, which were handsomely decorated. The table was very pretty arranged. Mr. Kelly was taken completely by surprise. After parruking of a repast which the ladies had prepared, Rey, Conrad spoke very feelingly of the esteem and respect in which the church and people hold Mr. Kelly. Mr. T. Smith in a few well chosen remarks, spoke of Mr. Kelley's life and church work, as did Mr. J. Calder Davis also. Mr. Kelley has been a member of Zion church since he was 9 years old and assistant superintendent of the Sabbath school, and a Sunday school teacher for several years. Mr. Kelley responded very feelingly and said he should ever hold his church and friends sacred. A concert under the auspices of Myatic chapter, No. 11. Order of Eastern Star, was held at Ruo's Hall. Wednesday evening, September 20, where the following talent appeared: Prof. O/Van Burun, Miss Edith Gibson, Miss Fentrocca Van Burun, Mrs. Clarn Grapt, Miss George Lewis, Mrs. J. E.

Bobbie Gohm Freedman On Aging Wandering Or Damaging And Bleaching again Gohm From Gang Into Serving Theophany, White Gohm Are Supp- plaining They an Abo-American Barbam We Supplanted. Regular Correspondence of The Ann Cancunce, III., September 28.—Winter preparations of all kinds are already in evidence. There is a rushing back to the city of the great multitude of those who have been absent during the summers indulging in the vain search for a better summer resort than Chicago. Then there is the constant stream of newcomers who have nothing to do but to entertain the false notion that Chicago is a warm place in which to hibernate. The way the police force is charging on the vicious, the vagrant and the unemployed I fear will render Chicago warm in more than one respect. for these interlopers. Still we cannot rid ourselves of the anxious inquiry, especially concerning the increase of our own people. What are they all going to do? Certain it is that there is not a job for every willing worker and much less when we include the unwilling worker. Yet in some lines there is work enough for those who are not too fastidious to do it. Among the newspapers are to be noticed the frequent announcements that "all the schools of domestic science are overcrowded" with applicants for instruction, and this because the demand for well trained and skilled domestics is greatly in excess of the supply. In this crowd of eager applicants for domestic training, there are very few college or plicates. Their families are not restricted as to the kind of occupation they may choose, pass by the clerkships which colored girls cannot get and eagerly prepare themselves to fill the places as domestics, which are open to our girls, but which, on account of a false pride, are scorned by them. It is really alarming to move forward to the next decade, when the great changes now going on in the field of domestic science shall have been worked out and developed into a profession. Where will our girls be? Just about in the middle of the largo cilinder, who have allowed themselves to be forced into the mental service of blacking the shoes and brushing the clothes of their former customers. What is needed is a campaign of education in order to create a public sentiment that shall free us from our present false notions as to the respectability of certain kinds of work. The fault, I fear, is largely in ourselves and not so much in our girls. In a thousand ways we convey to them a subtle feeling of scorn for the word "domestic" or "servant." "Our set" may respect, in a condescending way, but they will not associate with the girl who "works out." She may have accomplishments, character and comeliness, but if she decides to work in somebody's else house or shop, instead of in an impossible office, young men and old men, young women and women not young, will not invite her to their homes but she regard herself as an associate and thus degrade the sacred term "society." All girls whose name was used from the disdainful idleness and trained to skilled service in this new field which domestic science is developing. Of this one thing we may be sure, that those who buy their intelligence, training and character shall rescue the occupation of house servant from its mark of servility and give to it the dignity of a profession will monopolize its benefits. We should in every possible way encourage and help the girl who, finding nothing else to do, is willing to carry to the kitchen aid cook tote the same character, graciousness and skill that she carries to the parlor and the piano. This is our problem, and this is the protection and moral support the colored girl must have to enable her to do, what thousands of white girls in all parts of the country are doing. Behind these white girls, who are taking up domestic service, are the great women clubs and guilds that stand plowed to the support of anything and everything that makes for the latterment of womankind, are willing sponsors for these newly trained cooks and home keepers. The colored women's clubs of the country also have here a fine opportunity to make themselves felt in a constructive way. The work of creating a sentiment in favor of our girls who must enter the field of domestic service, so long as a determined prejudice shuts them out of the work they are fitted for and would like to do, is of as much, if not of more practical importance than the work of urban reform, the establishment of kindergartens, or any of the other good purposes to which the National Association stands pledged. The individual clubs, in their respective communities, could take up the study of this question; get whatever literature is obtainable and encourage those who are engaged in teaching or teaching in the clubs and are teachers in the new profession of domestic service and on the chances that are being missed by the present generation of young colored women. The girls will get better treatment from the people who employ them, when it is understood that behind these girls there is the organized intelligence of the best colored women in the country. By way of illustrating the importance of the support our girls need in these new and untried fields of endeavor, I might refer to the case of the colored girls in Detroit, Michigan, who have recently been given an opportunity to work in the Detroit Knitting factory. The company advertised for fifty girls to work on as many machines. This way about a year ago and for a short time the required number of girls was secured. But soon the novelty wore off, the work was heavy and exacting and various other alleged reasons made it necessary to display a continuous ad. "Girl Wanted." For the purpose of learning the exact conditions of this employment, your correspondent took occasion to interview one of these girls. She is a high school graduate and a young woman of refinement and apparent good sense and judgment. She stated that out of the required number, fifty, the average number of work since the glimbling was about 55. She said that the more the girls did not embrace this opportunity, why they stopped work, etc., she frankly stated that most of the girls had taken up the work in a rather apologetic spirit; some of them were not quite sure that it was the thing to do, not liking to be considered factory hands, etc. On the other hand the work was at first rather hard and exacting, they felt that they were not treated with the same consideration as the white girls who did the same kind of work they did alleged to pay larger fees for being absent, and allowed to go beyond a certain limit, in the matter of wages, and some other minor complaints. When asked what she thought the girls needed to strengthen their position and obtain equality of treatment, she promptly replied "some maintained interest and support from their own people." In the opinion of this mild maneuver, intelligent and refined young woman, the manager of this factory would, have a greater respect for them. If he were made to understand that behind these girls was the interest and influence of what was in the absence of the treatment, and there may be difficulties in the best saved people were given in the place of those given to be best themselves and saved in everything that was done or against them, the way would be easier and the treatment accorded them would be more kindly, just, and respect- It is not meant by this that the coloured people of Dorset do not respect these girls who have accepted this first opportunity given them in a new and difficult field of work, but the point to be made is that our organised women should be as responsive and alert in their interest in their own girls as white women are in them. The girls themselves are not in a position to complain against discriminations, but their friends, who are organized in the interest of women and children, can do so and do so effectively and wisely. It is stated upon good authority that Mr. Walter Farmer, the well known Afro-American attorney of St. Louis, is about to move his business and family to Chicago for permanent residence. Mr. Farmer is also interested in the work of securing Negro labor for the Panama Canal. Dr. George O. Hall and Dr. Albert Wilberforce Williams of this city, who were delegates to the convention, of colored physicians, recently held in Richmond, Va., are the recipients of many warm congratulations from their Chicago friends, because of the conspicuous part they took in this great meeting. At a recent meeting of the Frederick Douglass Center, Mrs. Cella Parker Woolley delivered an unusually strong address, using as her text Dr. Booker T. Washington's great words, "I am determined that no man shall drag me down by making 'me hate him.' Mrs. Woolley said that she regarded this as "the finest bit of gospel philosophy that have been uttered in the generation." AMATEURS PLAY "A NOBLE OUTCAST."

YONKERS, September 25.—On Thursday evening, September 21, the Terrace City, Dramatic club made their first appearance of this season at McCann's hall in a drama entitled "A Noble Outcast." From an histronic point of view the parts were well interpreted, considering that most all the members of the company are amateurs. Mr. F. Stevens and Mrs. J. Shito are to be credited for the able rendering of their respective parts. The specialties were very pleasing and Mr. F. Stevens with a chorus of twenty, rendered "My Dahomian Queen" pleasingly. "Mr. Wim. Close elicited much applause in the new song, "Miss Georgia." Indeed, the performance as a whole was very pleasing. Mrs. O. Adama and daughter, Cercia, are visiting friends in Plainfield, N. J. Messrs. M. F. Overton and R. Carson attended the house fair at White Plains last Saturday. Mrs. H.

ODD FELLOWS WENT TROLLEYING. 1d Miles From Tarrytown to Dance Walked Home from Whitlington TAMAROWS, September 25. The moonlight trolley ride held under the atripses of Lansing lodge last Thursday evening was a social and intimate access.

Richardson's for home, which was reached at 2 a. m. About 100 persons participated in the outing, including friends from Bookkill, Oswego Ferry, White Plains and Mamaroneck. The Westchester county fair and horse show, which was held at White Plains fair grounds last week, was the most brilliant event of the last Thursday there were dugout persons present, which number broke all records of attendance. In the afternoon the trailway allie between Tarrytown and White Plains was closed, and walkers walked four miles to their homes, a large number of our citizens being among that number. Mr. John Cardwell rode the great last week and became a member of Lincoln lodge.

September 28.—For the first time in the history of Philadelphia have the colored emigrants from the Southern States been comfortably housed and protected while waiting employment or seeking friends. This new hospitality has been extended to them in the shape of a home to be used for the sole purpose of sheltering colored girls. It is located at 714 North 17th street. The use of the house and furniture for its rooms was given over to the Association of Household Research for this purpose by Mrs. John H. Converse, a philanthropic woman of this city. It is provided over by Mrs. Emma Layton, sister of the Rev. Henry Phillip, pastor of the Church of Crucifixion. During the past few weeks 125 girls were taken care of. Philadelphia will have one of the gayest social seasons in its history. There are two reasons for this. In the first place, there will be quite a few debauchesons this winter, a number of young ladies being introduced into society. In the second place, the fashionable net will do a great amount of entertaining. A number of engagements are announced, and several others are expected as the result of the summer. On the other hand, there are only two important marriages scheduled for the autumn, and it is probable that most of the weddings will be celebrated next spring. The early autumn wedding, that of Miami, the debut of Mr. and Mrs. Jackson on the 20th inst. The couple will reside in Sault Ste. Marie, Mich. Rev. W. B. C. Coster of Lawrenceville, N. J., visited the city last week. Dr. Bryant was lucky enough to unload his Amalgamated Copper and Wabash preferred at 10am for the work of land in Washington. He left for his western home Friday night. Madame Taylor sang two solos at Zoar A. M. E. church on Sunday. Her deserved popularity is one of the salutary lessons of what hard work in a good school will entail toward the making of a musical side. The criminal side of Philadelphia, the scary depths of degradation to which weak and strong, sink in the battle for existence, has never failed to interest thinking men of our race, who have occasionally stopped in our city to see the people, the environments, etc. These are practical lessons, and we take great pleasure in instructing our visitors. The Berean School will commence its fall term on Monday evening, October 2 at their school rooms on South College avenue; Rev. Matthew, Anderson, Friends. The Banjo and Mandolin club nened the Southern buyers, who were guests at a dinner at the Windsor Hotel. "Way Down On the Swanace River" and "Dixie" were among the popular airs of the Southland song by the club; the music rendered by the club This club has maintained great prestige during the past year. Charles H. Dorsay celebrated the 27th anniversary of his service at the Union League as clok room keeper. He calls these anniversaries his birthdays. Every distinguished guest that has visited the League in his career has been tucked in his hat and wraps to Charles Dorsay. The old man has a remarkable memory, and never trusts to duplicate checks. "They might make a mistake," he says, "but this never will." tapping his forehead significantly. Whenever he comes into the clok room he can tell by looking at the hats, crescent and umbrellas he knows every one of the members by name. Prof. R. J. Jones of 1033 Waverley street was arrested for selling what is known as "Love Powdera," the charge being obtained money under false pretenses. The "professor" had led some of his credulous victims to bellow that he was the direct communication with Heaven. For want of hell he was committed to tail. Once more the Board of Education has been obliged to revise its rules and permit the employment of teachers from outside the city who have never been through a Normal School course. There are not enough local teachers to supply demands under present conditions, and next year there will be a much greater deficiency. This due to a loss of teachers in service, many resign to get married, and the growth of the school population is rapid. A word to the wise is sufficient. Lewis W. Carroll, one of Philadelphia's colored policemen, was a prisoner in the Central Police Court on complaint of his wife, who accused him of stealing money from a hostel was about to sell their furniture for rent, which was two months overdue. Carroll was appointed on the police force under Mayor King, and he was the second colored man to wear the uniform of a Philadelphia policeman. The magistrate ordered him to pay $300 that allowed him to enter his own recognition to appear in court. There is a neatly dressed colored man going to the rounds of the city chiming to be a representative of a wardrobe company. He that is the last of him. The company never sees the suit, and you are out. Some of our voters are being organized in the interest of the City Party, and a club for active work among men of the city. The last P. H. of the 20th Ward is president and C. E. Dickerson is secretary. The first celebration of Rosebone's Auditorium at Langhorne was a great success. "Pop" Lewis was there in all his glory. He says that "the will organize a lodge of Elks there in a short time. With him there will be John John, a warden, White, Min. Mrs. Clementa of New York, who has been visiting Mrs. Offley for several weeks, has returned. Mrs. Offley accompanied her on her return. Mrs. Rebecca W. Ramsey of 1007 Bainbridge street, left Dr. Clifton, Va., to visit relatives. Robert Rush, who has had charge of the Grand Hotel at Mackinaw, Mich., has been visiting close to closing its season. George Gardner, a Post Office clerk, died recently, the result of a fall received some time ago. Miss Marion Price and Miss Lillian Taylor, who have been summering at Onborne, Me., returned on the 21st. Almer Davis, brakeman on the New York Short Line, sustained severe lacerations of the hip by the collapse of a truss at a foot of Fox Ford. Then the entire distance, hanging on the brake wheel. J. Jarielle Johnson of the Department of Public Works is a busy man nowadays. He has charge of the clipping bureau. WE HAVE ENOUGH CHURCHES. From "The Philadelphia Tribune," a newspaper of our ministerial heathen got the idea that large, costly church buildings are indicative of a people's high morals and strong religious faith. On the contrary, such edifices keep the folly and vanities of a poor people. One of the proudest weddings of the season occurred at the residence of the late Charles J. Caster, 89 West 80th street, Wednesday evening, September 20, when Miss Bustries W. Caster, daughter of Miss Louy B. Caster, and Mr. William H. Robinson were married. Promptly at 8:00 Rev. C. B. Moria performed the ceremony. The parter was transformed into a bower for the occasion, white and pink roses producing in the decorative scheme. At 8:00 Miss Sarah Jackson started the Lobengrin wedding march; Ms. Moede and Miss Boyd came first, followed by Mr. Stith and Miss Panyton; Mrs. Caster, the mother of the bride, was present. Mrs. Caster on the arm of her cousin, Mr. Cornelius A. B. Higgen, Mrs. Caster's gown was a beautiful creation of French chic. Mrs. Caster, the parter and their places under a huge ring of rose, presented by Mr. and Mrs. R. A. Johannes, where the service was gone through. Mrs. Caster, the parter and Miss Bustries Parton. The house was beautifully decorated throughout with autumn foliage. Music was furlished by the musical Jockoson. After the wedding the guests were served a curate wedding cake. Miss Carter has for years been identified with Abyssinia church as pianist in the Sunday school and an earnest church worker. Her久留美 have have have have her many friends, all of whom join in wishing her all the best that life may furnish. Mr. William H. Hoboken has been for years a Jewelers in the Schlumberger Hron, & Jewelers in Malden Lane, & by hard and earnest work he has risen to a reliable and responsible position, and in highly regarded by all employees to be someone to their friends at 831. Third avenue. Among the many presents the following are: Mrs. Robinson's present from her mother was her wedding troubadour and pianist. The home of Mrs. Carter was taxed to its utmost capacity, nearly all the donors among the 150 guests were seen some of the most beautiful gowns of this season. NEW ROCHESTER ZION CHURCH. Clubs Formed to Raise Funds and the Plan Is Booming. ROCHIESTER, September 28.—The present Zion A. M. E. church of this city was organized in September, 1829. In the days prior to the Civil War many abolition meetings were held in the old building. There has been talk of a new church edifice for the last 20 years, and now, just 75 years since the organization of the church, it begins to look as if the work will really be accomplished. A building committee has been appointed and plans for raising the necessary funds are under way. Han, John, and the church been named a trustee of the building fund. Herv J. J.
