BROOKLYN, LODGIE'S OCTOBER SOCIAL SESSION. Fleaty, of Fun-Purveyed by Comic-Reclients and Warbirds—Some Politics Mixed in, Too, and Serious Talks on the Lodge's Future. The October social session of Brooklyn lodge, No. 32, I. B. P. O. of Elks of the world, occurred at Sumner hall, on Fulton street, Brooklyn, on Monday evening of this week. Lieutenant James A. Rostoun-exalted ruler, presided. The hall was beautifully decorated. Members of Brooklyn lodge invited guests and visiting Elks from other lodges as far as Philadelphia filled the hall as an early hour and there was an era of good feeling. Since the inception of Elkdom among Afro-Americans in Greater New York and vicinity no secret order has been more conspicuous in the public eye. Indeed, the Elks, by their benevolence and social contact with other organizations, have won for themselves a name which may be found in the first column of the catalogue of secret orders. In opening the session on Monday evening, Exalted Ruler Boston said that Brooklyn lodge has met with popular favor from the members of the lodges on the other side of the house, and to-day stands honored and respected wherever an Elk rooms or the "Best People On Earth" hold high carnival. The fun of the evening began when Mr. Roy Wilson, Brooklyn's impersonator, gave an illustration of "A Faithful Servant." Mr. Wilson kept the audience laughing and applauding throughout his performance. Everybody rubbernecked when the name of Mr. Walter E. Ellis of the Southern Jubilee singers was annoined. Mr. Ellis sang a song entitled "H I Were M. Morgan." The old hall rang with applause and he had to respond several times. Next came a brief address by Mr. Sakies, who also gave an historical recitation, "Richard, Duke of Gloucester," which was received with applause. Lieutenant Roston recited and Mr. Wilson rendered "I Am Only Teasing You," on the piano. Much interest was manifested in young Arthur A. K. Jackson's piano selection. He showed very careful training and is a promising young artist. Popular John E. Berry sang a bass solo in his usual earnest manner. Messrs. Duke Johnson and William H. Johnson both came in for liberal shares of applause. Lieutenant Roston rose to patriotic height in presenting the Hon. Jacob Eilpman Republican nominee for Coroner in the present campaign. Mr. Eilpinn made a speech and wished the Eiksall kinds of good luck. Past Exalted Ruler George Ridgesley of Progressive Island of Jersey City brought greetings from boys across the Big Bay. Mr. John E. Berry and Mr. James Towell were best advantage in vocal solos of the sort. Mr. Harry Griffin, past master of Philadelphia lodge, No. 20, took time speech. He then recited his poem entitled, "Life Is a Proposition After All." The Lieutenant and for the moment Mr. Griffin the hero of the stage. The visitors was delivered by Mr. W. A. Ward of Keystone lodge. Nearing vein, and everybody was well. We Elks." Edward Eilpkin in behalf of Brooklyn seeing its past history, and to future glory for No. 20, feltful issues.

Shot by Afro-American North Self-Defense. INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., October 25. A race riot between school boys occurred late this afternoon on West Michigan street, in which William O'Connell, a white boy, 14 years of age, was shot and dangerously wounded by Edward H. Hansford, an Afro-American boy, 12 years of age. There has been trouble between the white and blacks who attend the school for several days, and this evening it culminated in a riot in which the Hansford boy used a rifle which he had brought for the purpose. The whites have attacked the Afro-American pupils on two or three occasions, usually running them into their homes. The Fansford boy had been driven home on three or four occasions, and this evening, when school was dismissed, according to his statement, O'Connell was the leader of the attacking party and he presented the rife to him for the purpose of stopping the rush toward him. The whites were not deterred by the sight of the gun, and fired upon them, wounding O'Connell in the arm and shoulder. The report of the shooting got abroad immediately and the parents of the children hastened to the scene, and young Fansford would have been summarily dealt with had not the police arrived in time to protect him and take him to the station home. He told the police that he had been dugged for weeks by the white boys and that he had bought the rifle at a second-hand store to protect himself, but he had not intended to shoot O'Connell, as the explosion was an accident. An Afro-American Journal of News and Opinion. THE NEW YORK TIMES DISTRICT ATTORNEY JEROME AND HIS UNIQUE CANVASS IN NEW YORK. William Travers Jerome, district attorney of New York county, is now engaged in a most unique campaign for re-election to his present office. Four years ago Mr. Jerome was elected as a fusion, or anti-Tammany, candidate. A few months ago he announced that he would be an independent in the present campaign. This pronunciation created a sensation, for it was generally conceded that he was Yearless and had a large following. It was freely predicted by the political wineraces that the fusionists would again name him. The fusion movement fell through, however, and the Municipal Ownership league and the Republicans decided to go it alone. Mr. Jerome was not put on either ticket, and up to the last moment it was thought that Tammany, in self defense, would take him up. It failed to do so, and Mr. Jerome was accordingly apparently left in the lurch. The district attorney failed to see it in that light, and he at once proceeded to work harder than ever. As it is, he is a candidate on his own ticket, and this fact, in connection with the vigorous mayoralty campaign made by William R. Hearst, the Municipal Ownership league candidate; by George B. McClellan, renominated by Tammany, and by William M. Irvins, the Republican standard bearer, makes the present municipal and county content in New York one of the most interesting in the political history of the United States. McCLELLAN TO SPEAK Will Address Colored Democracy Friday Night. Chief Edward E. Lee is taking hold of the United Colored Democracy and has rejuvenated it and placed it in a commanding fighting position for the campaign.

WASHINGTON, October 27.—Word has been received here that Butler Harris, an "ex-slave pension agent," has been sentenced to three years' imprisonment at Atlanta, Ga., for swindling a large number of Afro-Americans in North Carolina. Harris, it is said, was used to collecting gatherings of ignorant Afro-Americans, with whom he prayed and read the Scriptures until their pious credulity won him their confidence. He would then promise the ex-slaves that those who paid him 50 cents would receive from the Government within ten days $75; or that for every dollar they gave him they would receive $100. Harris was doing a land-office business when the pension authorities got wind of him and hunted him down. This form of swindle is often practised in the South, although the Pension Department has made every effort to stamp it out. BROOKLYN Y. M. C. A. NOTES. Addresses by 'Dr. Brooks and Dixon and Messrs.

Arkansas' Notorious Governor Ventured to Apologize for Mob Law and Was Severely Rebuked by the President to the Delight of the Populace—The Lyncher as an Heinous Criminal as the One Lynched, Said Mr. Roosevelt, and All Public Men Should Do All in Their Power to Stop the Inhuman Practice. LITTLE ROCK, Ark., October 26.—The sensation of President Roosevelt's visit here yesterday was the rebuke which he, aided and abetted by 25,000 people, administered to Governor Jeff. Davis, who had ventured to say a good word for the fendish institution of lynching. The incident occurred at City Park, where the people had gathered to bear Mr. Roosevelt speak. Governor Davis read a long-winded address of welcome, much to the impatience of the people, and closed with an apology for lynching, emphasizing the hideous nature of the crime for which, according to him, lynching is usually the punishment and hinting that the only good Negroes are dead Negroes. The President didn't lose much time when he arose in getting out his Big Stick and applying it vigorously to the Governor's shoulders. He spoke a few words of greeting to the crowd and then turned on Mr. Davis with a threatening suddenness which made him jump in his seat. "Governor," exclaimed the President, with his arms upraised, "I am fortunate enough to have spoken all over the Union, and I have never said in any State or any section what I would not have said in any other State or in any other section. (Great applause.) And I am fortunate in being President of a people where you do not have to praise one State by running down any other State. (Prolonged applause and cheers.) "And, Governor," continued the President to that perspiring official, "you spoke of a heinous crime that is often heinously avenged. The worst enemy of the Negro race is the Negro, criminal, and above all the Negro criminal of that type; for he has committed not only an unspeakably heinous and infamous crime against the victim, but he has, committed a heinous crime against the people of his own color, and every reputable colored man, every colored man who wishes to see the uplifting of his race, owes it as his first duty to himself and to that race to hunt down that criminal with all his soul and strength. (Great applause.) "Now for the side of the white man. To avenge one heinous crime by another heinous crime is to reduce the man doing it to the bestial level of the man who committed the bestial crime. (Great applause and cheers.) The horrible effects of lynch law are shown in the fact that three-fourths of the lynchings are not for that crime at all, but for other crimes. And above all other men, Governor, you and I and all who are exponents and representatives of the law we owe it to our people, owe it to the cause of civilization and humanity, to do everything in our power, officially and unofficially, directly and indirectly, to free the United States from the manace and reproach of lynch law." (Applause.) ARTISTS AT MT, OLIVET. Give a Planning Exhibition of Their Productions. Artist's night was held by the Young People's league at M. Olivet Baptist church on Monday evening, October 20.

A. in West 53d street, the board of education will formally open the chapel as a lecture center. This result has been achieved largely through the efforts of the secre- trury, Mr. T. J. Beil, who many months ago asked the board for such a center. Prof. John S. Brown, Jr., was appointed as the local superintendent in charge of the center, and it has been decided to employ Afro-American lecturers as well as white. Some of the best men of the race are expected to speak during the season. The lecturer will be held every Wednesday evening until further notice, beginning promptly at 8 p. m. 'The first lecture will be given on Nov- ember 8 on "Wonders of New York" by Mr. Frank J. Blanchard. The lect- ure will be illustrated by stereo images of the Holiday Christmas holidays Mr. Henry A.

Only the School Children took Part, and Some of Those Were Denoted by Their White Tuxedo—A Brunch Business League Organized—Candidate Lewin Charged by Opponents With Having Advocated Misinformation and Neilson Bitterly—Baptist Preacher Trying to Break Into Politics. RICHMOND, October 22. - Richmond has thrown off the holiday attire in which she beckoned herself to receive the President of the United States. While the Afro-Americans of Richmond have great admiration for the President, they feel keenly the indifference which the white committee having charge of the festivities manifested towards them. No opportunity was given Afro-Americans to greet the Nation's chief, save the public school children and the students of the several private institutions of the city, who were lined along Broad street. In every case but one the teachers were in line with their students. The exceptional instance was that of our Colored High and Normal school, in which the teachers are white. These patrons at the public crish, patrons because they teach Afro-American students, were ashamed to leaen with their pupils in the street, so they deserted them immediately after they left the school building. Such teachers are a disgrace to a community. Afro-American business men held a largely attended and well representative meeting last Friday night at Woman's Central League hall and formed a Negro Business League. Officers were elected as follows: President, Dr. W. F. Graham, president of the American Beneficial Insurance company; vice-president, Dr. R. E. Jones, financial agent and director of the Capital and Training school; recording secretary, John T. Taylor, secretary and general manager of the Richmond Beneficial and Insurance society; corresponding secretary, W. F. Denny, real estate agent; treasurer, William Isaac Johnson, funeral director. On November 8 and in a monad, these bodies are to be active co-operation with the National Negro Business League. The gubernatorial campaign in Virginia has degenerated into a campaign of bitter invective. Judge L. L. Lewis, the Republican nominee, has been accused by the Democrats of having advocated a spartanism in Chesterfield county some twenty years ago. This Judge Lewis has indignantly dulled on the hustings in language which had it been uttered in a quarter of a century, ago in Virginia, would have been demolished for a quarter to be dulled. L. Taylor Ellison, a Democrat governor and State chairman of his governor and State chairman of his responsible for the circulation of the report, Mr. Ellison is a past master in election trickery, and fraud, and feeling that his party is without an issue, has thus sought to inject the race issue in the campaign and thereby turns the side of the governor toward Judge Lewis. Mr Ellison has been the object of Judge Lewis's bitter but just invective. The Colored Republican Association of Virginia, with the Hon. A. W. Harris at its head, has done a great work in organizing Afro-American voters. Friday night a big mids meeting was held at a gym ball. Ex-Amerman Henry J. Mague presided over George St. Jalian Stephens. Able members were made by Hon. A. W. Harris and W. H. C. Brown of Newport News. Yesterday the Y. M. C. A. celebrated its sixteenth anniversary with most appropriate exercises at Elenzezer Baptist church. The principal address was made by H. O. Williams of New York, railroad secretary of the international committee. The association's work in the past few years has been a great one for the community. The lift of our young men. Secretary S. C. Burrell is to be congratulated upon the success of his work. A number of our Baptist preachers from different sections of the State held a "Baptist congress" at Suffolk last week. One of the leading spirits of the "congregation" gathered which discussed politics more than it did those things that make for the upbuilding of the church and the saving of souls. The burning question was, How can the Baptist ministers of Virginia get into hot politics as have some of the delegates of the several branches of the McKinley Party? The Baptist Record, the organ of the teachers, was out last week calling for the organization of a "Negro Republican party in Virginia." These good brothers of the cloth may be all right in their intentions, but if in the launching of the new movement they are to have the content such as they usually have in all their Christian organizations, conventions and associations, they had better not attempt to organize. Mrs. Blossom Smith Randolph, wife of Mr. Thomas Randolph and daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Junius Smith, died last Sunday night after an illness of two days. Ludd Berry, a veteran of the Spanish-Americana war, died suddenly last Monday night at the Bon de Von club, where he was employed as steward. Dramatic association reproduced "Princess Bonnie" last Monday evening at "Reformer's opera hall. Mrs. Carrie Gray and her little son, Master Armistead, who have often absent from school, visited friends and relatives in Bridgeport, Conn., Buffalo, New York and Jersey City, have returned home.

This is how the editor of a paper in Peking, China, declines a manuscript: "Illustrations brother of the sun and moon! Love the slave who rolls his feet, who kisses the earth before thee, and demands of thy charity permission to speak and delight. We have read the manuscript with delight. By the house of our ancestors we wear that never before have we encountered such a masterpiece. Should we wear that never before we order us to take it as a criterion and never again print anything which was not equal to it.

NEW HAVEN, October 20.—George Green, a bad-carrier and a well known citizen, was instantly killed last Thursday afternoon as the result of a fall from the roof of Wrexham hall, the new student dormitory in course of erection at 200 York street. Mr. Green was busy at work cleaning up the roof and, in some way not known fell to the ground, receiving fatal injuries. Before the Grace hospital ambulance arrived the man 'was' dead. It was coarse and cold, the latter became dixy or made a misstep and fell. No one about the building saw the fall. Mr. Green came here about 30 years ago from Savannah, Ga. Rev. L. H. Cook sent a telegram asking information as to whether he was a telltale that deceased had no relatives there. Later it developed that he has a nephew, John Lewis Green, living at 1 Main street, Pawtucket, R. I. Mr. Green lived alone on Augur street, Winegilley, in the Middletown personal property. Mr. Green's wife is an inmate in the Middletown insane asylum, where she has been for 18 years. Deceased was a member of the Union Army.

All Young Ladies Afford Education Pursue an Training for Culinary Lectures—Black Man the Most Pop- ular Street Cus Conductor—W. F. Dunnamond, Assistant Bridge Engi- neer of Michigan Central, Has In- vented Remarkable Cab Signal. Regular Correspondence of THE ACE Detroit, Mich., October 30—This city still bears many marks of its French origin—perhaps, to the visitor of a day or two, these would be noticed in the queer names of the streets and a certain light and ally carriage of the populace. A little longer and more intimate acquaintance reveals that three things especially flourish here in a way that indicates they are indigenous; these are love of dancing, love of music and fondness—came near saying, a weakness—for location. Everybody dances, or used to dance; and everybody seems built for dancing. The ladies are light, lusome and willowy, and often they pironette for very exuberance while you wait. Church members, discarding the traditions of the dances, dance here without molestation, putting to rouse the governing those priestess of all sorts, the Methodist and Baptist denominations. As for music, it is in the blood of Detroit. It is cultivated music, too. Conservatories of wide reputation give a training that brings out all that voice or hand is capable of doing in the realm of music, and the separate sincere effects that mark the well-trained singer are to heard in almost any parlor. Elocution is a drug on the market. Every girl who has the real Detroit spirit is an elocutionist of some calibre. They do not all become professional musicians and their audiences be? After much deliberation, I have about reached the conclusion that Detroit girls take elocution in order to make their curtain lectures after marriage more effective. That there is wisdom in the process is shown by the fact that all women are also good, or wish they were, when they come in at night and shut the front door. This city has another distinction very grateful to the soul of an Afro-American from the provinces; it is probably the most liberal in sentiment of the large cities of our country having a consis-table dress code, and its own dress itself in general public courtesies in street or store or office, but takes the unusual form of orchestras directed by colored men, but composed of men of both races. There are two of these; one holding the contract to furnish music on the Boll Isle pleasure boats during the summer season, and the other the man peruvian of dances when he is wealthy and fashion of the city during the winter. There are coated bookkeepers in leading department stores; stepgraphers in prominent lawyers; officers; but stronger than all these, which we occasionally find in the news, are the custodians and motorists in the trey cars. The most popular man on the line, so popular that ladies often wait for his car, is onwardly about the color of Tom Dixon's heart, but inwardly farther than the Dixon himself. He is conductor of a friend's experience when the city is full of visitors, and motorman on the Woodward street during the winter when his special sight-saving car is taken off. For the sake of a friend's experience the rounds with him during my stay, and found him every inch a gentleman. His lectures on the history of the city, as we glided past the places of interest, were informing in every sentence and outlived with a play of wit. I did not not the only colored man employed to run street cars here, but I speak of him more at length because I made a study of him as a type. Naturally the question arises in the reader's mind. How come I am not asked to question? The story is short and simple. He was once a resident of Cleveland, Ohio, and was employed in a similar work by the street car lines of that city, till a superintendent came in who lost no time in operating a black man from his force, Tom L. Johnson, the famous Democrat and of the reformer and now Mayor, heard of the color of the colored motorman, and after hearing the facts asked him how he would like to take a place with the car lines in Detroit. Mr. Johnson was at that time chief stockholder of those lines. The result of the conference was that Mr. Carry was transferred to Detroit and has been there doing acceptable service ever since. He was the greatest sight to be seen there is the Afro-American conductor that shows you the sights. I visited the bridge engineers' office of the Michigan Central railroad, one of the lines belonging to the New York Central system, and there I saw a colored man bridge engineer. He does most of the difficult mathematical work in the office, besides doing his share of superintending the actual construction of bridges on the line. That he is a very valuable man bridge engineer is one of the three recent years and there are no signs of dissatisfaction with his work. He is a graduate civil engineer from the Western University of Pennsylvania, and after leaving college was successively professor mathematics at Texas and at Wilmerfield University, Ohio, before receiving his present appointment, which he secured without influence and entirely on merit. This man is Prof. W. H. Damnant; one of the brightest minds of the race. He is a bridge engineer and philosopher into whatever he undertakes, and logarithms are his most and drink But, in addition to other valuable brain products, he has given to the world an invention that will be heard from in the near future: The readers of THE ACE will doubtless remember the terrible wreck that occurred some months ago in the railroad in the limits of the city of New York. Investigation proved that it was caused by a fog that made it impossible for the engineer to see the block signal displayed in front of him. This set Mr. Dammond to thinking: a signal, to insure safety, should always be visible, regardable for the smoke, fog or short curves are likely to conceal it till too late to prevent accident, as happened in this case. It is clear, then, that the signal should be placed where it will be seen at any time and all the place where this can be done is on the cab of the engine, so that it will always be right in the face of the engineer and fireman. On this idea Mr. Dammond went to work and finally succeeded in devising the only cab signal that gives the runaway access to the safe runaway of training, so that the track is clear; the green signal, calling for a slackening of speed; and the red signal, calling for an immediate stop. As I have just said, the signal is on the engine and travels with the engineer. It infiltrably warms of any obstruction on the switch, and if the station cannot make a mistake and indicate a clear track when it is not clear, the Dammond signal refuses to obey him and displays the danger signal instead. Many signal systems work well when the batteries and connections are in order, but in case of a connection of the current from any cause, they, fail to display the proper danger signal and a pollution is the result; but the Damnand signal never erupts on the side of safety. That is, if any thing goes wrong with the current, it displays the difficulty in the stop and recall the difficulty in the stop and recall the Patents have been applied for in almost all the leading countries of America and Europe, and railroad men in this country, England and Canada are taking a deep interest in the invention. While several efforts have been made to alienate the control of the Dammond Signal from the inventor, he has held on to it. In this, he has proven winner than Mr. McCoy, also Detroit Afro-American who invented the lubricator now in general use, but allowed it to pass from his hands before it was a masterpiece. K. T.

That disfranchising amendment to the Maryland constitution is the most ridiculous and shameful piece of political trickery found in the history of any State. Think of it! Making the ability to explain a State constitution the voting test! Here is the practical operation: If it carries, a partisan committee in favor of the amendment to disfranchise the Negro will conduct the investigation. If it does not, the committee will ask questions that the supreme court couldn't answer without taking time to think over it, but the poor Negro has to answer them immediately or lose his vote. But suppose he does answer, what does it avail the committee puts its own construction in? The committee is supposed to keep the Negro from voting. That is what the amendment is for. It is of no concern of the Democratic party of Maryland if a Negro knows all about the constitution; a Negro, and that settles it. It will only be useful for the investigation to establish that fact. Maryland will disgrace itself, if it adopts that amendment. Its 'intelligent and progressive citizenship cannot afford to let that measure become a part of the organic law. It is not straight. It is a piece of trickery. It reflects upon the conscience of the people. It is party prejudice gone mad.

BOSTON, October 30.—It is now nearly one hundred years since the birth of William Lloyd Garrison, who was born in Newburyport, Mass., on December 10, 1861. His parents were very poor, and his chances for getting even an ordinary common school education were indeed slight, for his school days came to an end before he was nine years old. He was put first at this early age to learn the maker's trade, and later that of the clothes maker. But for the first he was not strong enough physically, and for the second he had no love. Meantime poverty and experience were teaching the little follow lessons of life which he could have learned in a grammar school; a certain early acquaintance with himself and the workaday world about him. From that hard school in which experience were the teachers in the year 1851 the boy got his first life as a worker, and entered forthwith on his secondary education under a rough tutelage. As the age of thirteen he went into the army of the Newportburgh Herald to learn his type. At last his boy's hands found work which his boy's heart wanted to do. He mastered quickly the art. As he set up now the minds of others, he soon discovered the powers of his own demanding utterance. The apprentice felt presently the current of new life within him. A passion for improvement took possession of his mind and swift in their work. After studying American history, to learn the currents of National politics, his intelligence quickened marvelously, and the maturing processes of his mind children and swift in their work. After studying American history, he became a man in character and knowledge. Even in his teens he received qualities which seemed to prophecy the future of distinction. He posed as a most winning personality. This was his social and bountyant disposition, andominated temper were sources of strength to him. People were strongly drawn to him. His friends were devoted to him. He had that quality called magpie-elf, lifting others and training over them the ascendency of ideas and genius. At the age of twenty his apprenticeship in The Herald office ended. There he met with true Yankee pluck and enter into the process of for himself what he had been called and plucked, publish a newspaper. With heart he now made his first venture in the uncertain sea of independent journalism and became in a word publisher and editor of a wide-awake sheet named, fully enough, The Free. He had to publish a body of been, be announced in a number, and neither the crush of loss nor the threats of the threat nor the influence of power, knew one single opinion into this was morally superb, but then he had to now, too, for that it was poor journalism. In both however, it took with absolute the measure of the man. As a moral likeness it is simply At no time during his subsequence it came to be an exact embodiment of his extraordinary paper did not prosper, Garrison learned the venture, and in 1826 moved to Boston in search There for several months he being as a composer. But in 1828 he became editor of National Philanthropist, a reformer devoted to the cause of tem As a moral reformer Garrison changes out of his experience as this paper which were more use in silver and gold which he of it invented the invitable faith which he the reformary power of one nonpromising man in com- low appetites and vices of and the second thing which knowledge of the impure is necessary to succeed. His editorial arti National Philanthropist on may be said to have promise and potency of the American Temperance Union of certainly held the seed to grow a few years into a society of the North. The National Philanthropy met for the first time a friend of the slave, W. H. Heber was his owner, Landy Island the wall of the capping of distress, and the soul." The slave iron and the soul of this sinfully murdered slave enter the soul of a man. The meeting of these men in an obscure boardroom in the year 1825 we look back at it now, to have the birth of a new era in made his third venture in October, 1828, when he The Journal of the Times in the interest of John Brown, the President But although deeply con- sidered the reduction of President Sir John Young editor did not forget the slave. Engrossed as he was in the success of his candid- ature in the House of Commons, his paper to pressure his friend Lord Ashurst to respect his unchanged atti- tude to the subject of slavery. "Before Grant our country," he wrote, "we give that the liberation of the em- pirement of the people of New Eng- land is interested in this matter and are armed from their lethargy imprompt call. They shall not unmerble while we have the man- power, or strength to wield Lundy saw that the slavery question required ascendency over all matters in the mind of Garrison, from Baltimore on foot and in true postcolonial fashion to Grand Mountain, the Glen Mountain these God and friends of Man met. It was asked between Garrison should go to Balti-Lundy's little paper with the *Grace of Universal Emanu-* that Lundy was pressing its circulation. I told Garrison in his valedictory *Journal of the Times*, "to enter field, and to engage in enterprise; that field embraces country—that enterprise is in the population. That insurance which he insured came in also for an entering word, but they had clear- ly declined in his regard to a piece of new- secondary interest and importance to the subject of slavery. There were still great questions with him, but this one then was the supreme question, had, in fact, become his cause. Before assuming his duties as editor of the Genius Garrison's anti-slavery views underwent a momentous change. Before going to more he discarded the populist and inocent emancipation and adopted in its place that of immediate emancipation. Unconditional and immediate emancipation was therefore the radical and startling on his assumption of the duties of Lundy's paper. This troubled the older reformer, who was not ready to assume responsibility for no radical a treatment to the slavery question. He, poor man, wawed the emancipation and so that immersionism as preached by the new editor was no olive branch but a flaming sword which threatened to stir the world of property to its center, and into deadly strife. With Quakerism's influence proposed, therefore, to Garrison's editorial change which would put the responsibility of each where it rightly belonged, he put his initials to the articles, and I will call them to mine, and each will bear his own burden, he said. And so it was agreed. There followed quickly upon this moral outburst of the young reformer in indemnity of him by the grand jury of Baltimore for uttering "a gross and malicious label on that Christian gentleman. From Nicholas Brown's skim's master, Captain Nicholas Brown, convicted and sentenced to pay a fine of fifty dollars and costs, which together amounted to more than one hundred dollars, more money, probably, than he had ever had at any one time in his life. As was not able to pay this sum he was defended by the judge in the Baltimore jail. At the end of this time Arthur Tapin, a merchant prince, and philanthropist of New York, paid the penalty and effected the release of the guillotine prisoner. Garrison's was truly a phe and-fog spirit, which unjust pow'r and philanthropist of New York, paid the whole aroused moral nature of the burst into flame and revolt. Within "glossy, walls close tent" he had warbled blitho as a bird of God which slave judges and juries could not reach, nor iron bolts confine; while anon iron in jail, in a song of invisible faith in his suffering, joyously as St. Paul might have sung under similar circumstances, how A martyrs' crown is richer than a King's sword. An amity mind insists softening. Amity mind insists softening. Garrison's editorship of *The Grassland* ended virtually with his persecution and imprisonment. After his release he defended to make his fourth venture as he began according the publication of *The Librarian* in Boston. In point of size the new organ was insinuated enough measuring but 14 x 92; inches. It did not seem, judging by its appearance, that violated lower power beyond the threshold of the first light. The very paper on which it was printed was bought on credit, and it was set up in borrowed type. For eight months months after its bravour, with his faithful associate, Isaac C. Garrison, he was composed and printed, trained at the case and editorial table fourteen hours a day, and lived chiefly on bread and milk, a few cakes and a little fruit, and were, alas, "on short commons" at work from this poor young man in his dingy apartment.

I will not equivocate. I will not excuse. I will not retract a single inch AND I will be heard." PASTOR'S THIRD ANNIVERSARY. Celebration and Presentation at St. James Presbyterian Church. Wednesday evening, October 18 marked the third anniversary of Rev. Lew Butler as pastor of the St. James Presbyterian church on West 51st street. The occasion was celebrated by an elaborate program, which had been arranged for their occasion by the Rev. Butler. The church was beautifully decorated with flowers and ferns, and a large gathering of young people and older ones braved the inclement weather to be present. During Dr. Butler's three years' pastorate the church has made much progress. The program began at 8:30 with a solo by Miss Dorsey, after which the address of welcome was delivered by Mr. Morrison. After a brief history of church, he addressed the address of Dr. Butler as a pastor. His address was timely and well received. Rev. Dr. Eggleston, pastor of the Baltimore Presbyterian church, delivered the presentation speech, presenting to Dr. Butler a handsome and admiration for him as a pastor. He spoke of the loyalty of the Presbyterians to their, church and laid great stress upon the duties of a Christian. Dr. Butler responded to the dress, thanking Dr. Eggleston for presentation, and did well that it was done by his duty as pastor and asked for the continued co-operation of the members. Refreshments were served free. Political Rights Ignored. Nope. The Independent. Up to the time when we write, however, he (the President) has said nothing in his public utterances about the Southern stance is a live demonstration. The Negro is a live National and undoubtedly has well-defined opinions to his purpose. It is one as to which he finished until the record of his tour is finished shall we know. So long as amorous funnies for speaking are used, we also know that he does not intend to reflect all of them. Founded a Town. From The Iroquois, in the State of Washington, lately paid a high honor to the memory of a Nezahua who was the founder of Washington. He hore the name of Washington, and was 50 years old. He became a man of means, estimated to be worth 100,000, and laid presented the gift with a tract of land for given with it to other local canes. When his funeral took place stores of the city were closed in his honor. In Gullity of Sine Far More Notemm Than Those. Imprasently Charged Against Afro-American — Aborta Mediterranea of "Superiority" and Hue Invaded Nothing but Lying. Special Correspondence of The Afr. Dermot, Mich., October 23—There never was a time in the history of the Afro-American people when, Southern writers were more brutally persistent in misrepresenting them than now. Not content with being inhumanly frank in picturing the shortcomings and crimes of a few members of the race, with a contemptible and unceeming arrogance, almost inconceivable, they have tortured incidents into race proclivities and racial exceptions as to conduct into racial rules as to crime. Nor have they confined their nefarious misrepresentations to this one field in their attempts to prove the Afro-American unfit and inferior. They pretend to have scanned our race position with scrupulous generosity; assume to be fully advised in the premises, and have been unable to find anything good, noble or useful that we have contributed to the present advanced state of our civilization. Were these men who are so assiduously casting stones at us themselves without sin? Had they contributed pre-eminently more than we to the factors which have entered into the making of this country's greatness, their food and continuous claims to superiority might be tolerated with considerably more meekness. The most prominent features of this whole assault upon the Afro-American are the crimes of both men, which it is accompanied. Any references to the communities and crimes of the white South is "les moustache." The human barbecues, so frequent of late in the South, and the crime of which is a stench in the nostrils of the armed men, must not be mentioned, it is not. The legal exigencies of each occasion. The beberous uses to which our women are subjected by Southern white men, a condition generally prevalent, a crime against the laws of both God and man, resulting in the one given arm to the whole world, must not be referred to. Still another potent feature of this third attack is the afterparted text. Imperiority. History may be searched in the area of tradition to now, and there can be found a sense of enmity enfronty this self-inclusion of the South. Really superior men are content that the world shall view their works and pass judgment thereon. For no man is more another unlucky he has contributed more to the world happier, brighter and better. The Afro-American is willing to compare records with the South for the last half century. In answer to the question, What has he done? we will submit our compulsions to the unbiased publication to determine where it is inferior, in invention, homemaking or money getting, to our fellow-citizens who are indigenous to the South. It never was the rule, either in law or in equity, to allow the adverse party to determine such matters, a thing that men have assumed to do in this matter, into these reminisences of the past will not be to neither party in this case; but, since have had our past and worst burdens at us for fifty years without finching, the South should be willing to take a dose of its own medicine without wineing. For unignoring the Afro-American is now now our medicine, it is just now housing itself with it; it is the old business which is now a disease grown more virulent. Slavery and its consonant eclipsed debanched the Southern consciousness that no pure stream of thought that effected the slave system can flow through it. A persistent system, a penal institution just before the war. It was pointed out that one third of the slaves were the children of the masters; that involuntary bondage gave the lie to the slave system; that master and servant were brute and cruel; that the South answered, "Slavery has reached the period of self-protection; we cannot turn this slave honehouse to despair our homes and murder our families. They once step removed from the brute. What is the reason for years that followed? When history is written as it should be, coming generations will place laurels on the graves of the faithful slaves who cared for unproperly dressed men andorphans during the dark days of the war; when despoiled one of them; while at the same time "brute" will be written against those who not only rebelled against their country but infected rags with smallpox and sent them North to war make up the majority of children that the brave lives in blue left behind them. We believe these unkind memories should be buried forever. But if our past, like Emanuels ghost, is not gone, then we give us the parallel of them, as we have brought this unhappy subject up. Now, suppose we draw a parallel of the record of brutality as between the Afro-American and his "superior" Southern neighbor since that time, and what final? Five isolated cases of homicide and five unimpaired by the one, and a continuous charge against the murder and pillage charge against the other. The Afro-American has furnished more victims for moles, rings, Ku-Klu Klux, white capers and night murders, than our race lost in the War of 1862. When the war then offered their country to stop rebellion, Besides, nearly twenty million dollars of our accumulations have been burned, destroyed or confiscated to satisfy this inimitable greed for blood and pillage. Is not this record appalling? Why is this in a way now spending time and money on an alleged fugitive? To bring him to trial? No, it is the barbaric spirit of torture, setting on fire savage minds that will be satisfied with nothing less than a human sacrifice at the stake. No Afro-Americans can be found in all Texas. Afro-Americans can be found in such a use, ruthless orgy or torture as prompt this man hunt. Talk about brutality: No more arrogant exhibition of intolerance, closely bordering on the brutal, was ever shown than in the treatment accorded our President, Mr. Wanamaker, by the Southern press and Southern speakers. Judging from the language used, neither humanity nor respect restrained these chivalrous gentlemen from personal violence worldwide in its acceptance, is that much would teach their fellows what is best and noblest in life, must themselves have some respect for law and order, and a keen appreciation of the personal liberty thought and action, either of which the masses of the white South have ever had. They say the Afro-American is immoral, forgetting that they have homo-combined the South with their illegitimate and cast-off children, who are dubbed Negroes for lack of a better name. If these men had the conscience, they would have wrought on their black servants, or have counted the unnumbered, waifs they compel us to support,—yet who are the children of men of their first families—they The Real Estate, Deposit & Investor's Co.

They have stolen twenty-two seats in Congress, based on the Afro-American population. These twenty-two men will stand in Congress, and with insulting swagger, have life continuously the victims of their theft. There is but one, and that an invulnable excuse for this wholesale robbery, by pointing at us and crying. "To hold, the manner of men we are stealing from Thomas Dixon, Jr., says that the Afro-American has done nothing in this country worthy of record. We might call upon him, Thomas Nelson Page, et al., to say what they have outstripped us in the past century and rest our eye at him. It will up to them to use an ordinary expression, their superiority by their works and their accomplishments. Brag has never counted for much in this country, and this bluff that several Southern writers are now putting up will not fool many people long. With but fifty years in which they have to lift the whole of our race to a high level of utilization, a feat which no other race at any period has ever accomplished. Yet, if that time we have decreased our ignorance, under the most adverse circumstances, until it is 46 percent. This increase care has still 14 per cent. of the development, and hundred years of development behind them, the probabilities are that this trainee element will ever be with them in the same proportion as it is with us. Quite a bit of the self-adablation of the South is that of taking credit under false pretenses. The marvelous development of that section in the last few years is Northern brain and the indigenous citizen. Northern brain and the indigenous citizen have made the commercial South, mining it all up, the white South has done nothing in the past half century worthy of record. They have published no great book; they have originated no great invention; they have produced no great stature; they have contributed nothing preeminently to this generation, except a great form of brutality.

When writing It Demands on the Republicans. It depends on the Republican. Mr. Irvine has from the first asserted, and his assertion is now confirmed by Mayor McCillan's appeal for Republican voters, that the Republican ticket will be victorious next Tuesday if the majority of Republicans remain loyal to their party, leaving Heart to recruit his following mostly from the Democratic ranks. We therefore urge upon all Republicans to be firm in their support of Mr. Irvine. Rarely has a candidate refreshed a forlorn hope with the gallant courage and dash which Mr. Irvine has displayed. Even The New York Times, which is hysterically supporting McCillan, pronounces Mr. Irvine to be "doubtless, the best equipped man in New York for the office of Mayor." With so engaging a candidate, and with a bitterly divided opposition, Republican success should not be despaired of. Victory will depend on the steadfastness of the Republicans themselves. The virtual endorsement of Jerome by the Republican party adds much strength to their ticket. It is to be hoped that the courts will permit his name to be substituted for Flammer's on the regular ballot and thus obviate the peril which always follows a wholesale splitting of ballots. Let all Republicans stand by the Republican ticket. Secretary Bonaparte and the Maryland Platform. The Baltimore Afro-American Ledger, a good and tried race soldier for which we have a great deal of respect, takes THE AGE to ask because of its position on the plank in the Maryland Republican platform which goes far a-field to declare against "Negro domination anywhere in the Republic" and against "social equality between the races," whatever that may mean, and the part which Secretary Charles Jerome Ionaparte took in the convention which adopted the offensive plank and the official explanation which he has made about it. The Ledger thinks THE AGR has simply split hairs in condemning the action of the convention and the published explanation of Mr. Bonaparte, and in declaring that the Maryland Republicans, by the action of their convention, had placed themselves outside of the National Republican party. The Ledger declares that the Afro-Americans of Maryland have, absolute confidence in Mr. Bonaparte, and that they are not concerned at all about the declaration in the Republican platform, the supreme matter in hand being to defeat the Poe disfranchising amendment and to crush Germanism. We still insist that the attitude of THE AGE is the correct one. We have never had any respect whatever for the brand of Republicanism furnished by Maryland, and we have less now. It may have been necessary in order to defeat the Poe amendment to abandon the basic Republican principle of equality of citizenship, and to declare against social equality of the races—a matter with which neither the Republican party of Maryland nor the National Republican party has anything whatever to do—but we do not believe anything of the kind. On the contrary, it appears on the face of it, and has been so regarded by most people outside of Maryland, as an abandonment of Republican principles fundamental in character. President Roosevelt on Social Equality and Amalgamation. A private conversation is usually a matter between two people. Each of the parties to it feels bound to keep his mouth shut about it, unless he is given the right by the other party' to it to divulge it. Gentlemen are always governed by this rule. But this did not occur to Mr. Poe of North Carolina, who is reported as having given to the newspapers the gist of a private conversation he is said to have had with President Roosevelt, recently in Raleigh. Mr. Poe declares that the President said he was opposed to social equality and to anglamation. As this is just the port of humbling the Southern newspapers hanker after having the President admit, much has been made of it by them. Wo do not believe that the President said anything of the sort. Why? Because, as a private citizen, as Governor of New York and as President of the United States, President Roosevelt has exercised the inalienable personal right of every man to select his associates in all of the relations of life, and because social relations are matters of personal concern with which the law has nothing whatever to do. The President would not go outside of his record on this matter, we believe, to satisfy Mr. Poe or the whole white South, by such a declaration as Mr. Poe attributed to him. In the second place, as to amalgamation, the President could not very well have said to Mr. Poe that he was opposed to amalgamation, except as a matter of personal opinion, which would carry the weight and authority of one person only, because amalgamation is not prohibited by the Federal Constitution and by the constitutions of but few of States of the Republic outside of the Southern States, and is practiced in one way and another in all of the States of the Republic. All of the living gallantly true, what motion could President Roosevelt have in saying that he was opposed to amalgamation when, except as a matter of private conviction, it would not amount to a rap? Upon a matter of such great moment President Roosevelt is not in the habit in private or public speech of talking to hear himself talk. To a man up a tree, it looks very much as if Mr. Poe of North Carolina had manufactured a private conversation between himself and President Roosevelt for home consumption, and that, contrary to the Charterfidian, ethics governing, in such cases, had given the alleged private conversation to the public, knowing full well that the President of the United States would hardly refute it. But it is an old an human conduct that an uncrupulous people will stoop to any infamy to justify a wrong. What Roosevelt Did Not Say. What Roosevelt Did Not Say It must be said for President Roosevelt—and it is a great deal to say, too—that he did not during his Southern trip suffer, himself to become guilty of any sins of commission against the Afro-American, although he had temptations to do so which would have been to many a man now, in public life in the North irresistible. Think what devoted Southern support the President could have won for his pet legislative projects by a word in defense of "white superiority" or in depreciation of "Negro domination"? But these words were not spoken. On the contrary, he went out of his way to denounce lynching, once at Tuakere Institute and again at Little Rock, where he roasted the notorious Jeff Davis to a turn because he was so degenerate as to utter a defense of mob law. The President's words on these two occasions should be the death of lynching. But if sins of omission are culpable, the President's record is not so clean. In Virginia, North and South Carolina, Alabama and Louisiana—in each of which he made speeches—a large proportion of the citizens have been deprived, in indubitable contravention of the United States Constitution and of the democratic ideals which our Government professes, of civil or personal rights and of political rights. Disfranchising and "Jim Crow" statutes, besides their oppression of Afro-American citizens, attack most dangerously the liberties of white citizens. When a Southern political machine has destroyed the vows of its black opponents, the next step is to clinch its power by effacing the suffrage of its white opponents. The result is the advancement to power in the South of base and illiterate demagogues like Tillman, Vardaman, Jeff Davis and Heflin. Yet on this subject, one of the most insistent importance, the President had nothing at all to say. His expedient silence was no doubt golden in the opinion of most white Southerners, but it was disappointing to all Afro-Americans and all enlightened white men. The question comes home to us with a pang: If Roosevelt has not seen fit to intercede with the South for our rights, who will? We have not the heart to write the obvious answer. Southern Frcake An influential daily newspaper at New Orleans has boldly declared that Governor Vardaman and Senator Money of Mississippi, Governor Jeff Davis of Arkansas, Senator Tillman of South Carolina and Thomas Dixon, Jr., of North Carolina are "freaks," real "freaks" and that they disgrace the white people of the Southern States by their conduct. The three persons we have first named here have been making an exhibition of themselves over the visit of the President to the South. This outgiving of the New Orleans newspaper should hear good fruit. There are too many white freaks in the Southern States who have been exalted to high places in the public service by the ignorant white Democratic voters for the good of the Southern States or of the Republic. It is fair to say, however, that Senator Tillman of South Carolina appears to have seen other light than that which used to guide his tongue. Since the late Presidential election he has been "real good." Silence as dense as a tropical jungle has surrounded his mouth. The overwhelming rebuke which the voters of the country administered to him and his sort in the last Presidential election appears to have settled permanently on his lungs. If this protests in the end to be true we shall not despair of the power for righteousness of the popular ballot deposited in a place where it can be counted as cast. But, in times past, Senator Tillman's mouth has been much like a mule's best hind leg—it is impossible to say when and where it will fly. As to Thomas Dixon, Jr., the white South and the white North and West and the black and yellow United States "are after him," and in the fairy-tale way of putting it, it are bound to "catch" him. He is being drubbed all along the pike. But the "most unkindest cut of all" has been administered by Collier's Weekly, which allowed Dixon to write a vile article for it, and which declared, in extension, in a subsequent issue, that "we felt that the typical poor-white Southern view, which is put forth by Mr. Dixon, deserved comprehension in the North. It is not the right view." Shade of Solon! Thomas Dixon, Jr., spokesman for "the poor-white Southern view" and not the alleged chivalric white Southern view, and that "not the right view!" In the perplexity of a defunct Alabama Congressman, we mutter, "Where are we at?" Perhaps, the Southern freaks have reached the end of their tether. We hope so. They are and have been a sorry lot. Reorganize the Philippines Com- mission. In the matter of the government of the Philippine Islands there appear to be a division of opinion and counsel in the bosom of the Administration. Recently it was announced, officially, at the White House that Luke E. Wright of Tennesse on the head of the Philippine Commission, had evidenced his resignation, to take effect in December, when he will visit the United States; but when the matter was brought to the attention of Secretary Taft he promptly denied the truth of and on the heels of his denial came official confirmation of it. An interesting question is thus raised as to whether the Philippine Islands are governed from the White House or the War Department. All the name, it may be taken as a forged conclusion that Governor Wright has resigned and that his successor will be named in December or soon thereafter. It is well The editor of The Age, speaking from knowledge gained in the Philippine Islands, declared that Governor Wright's appointment was a mistake and that his would make a failure of his job. Events have justified that view of the matter. We do not believe that there is a Southern white man living who is broad and generous and wise enough to govern yellow people in the Philippine Islands or black and yellow people in the United States. Governor Wright's failure was due to this fact, for he is about as wise and broad and good as Southern white men are made at this stage of the game. Talking about this phase of the matter, the Boston Evening Transcript says: "It seems as though Governor General Wright could not have his official relations with the Philippines severed any too soon if he would preserve his sensibilities from further abrasion. He can hardly avoid contact as long as he remains there with Mongols and Malaysia and all sorts of off-color people. Let him be given permission to hasten back to his Southern home and shut the gates, where he can flock by himself for a time, restore his cante and recover his self-respect." And it seems so to us. A great big man should be appointed Governor of the Philippine Islands. The Wishita Searchlight pours out a jeremiah over the recent conquest of Kannan by Anti-Afro-American sentiments. The unfriendless of Governor Hoch, the outing of black men from the occupations, the institution of separate schools and the general aggression of race prejudice are cited as evidence that there has begun a new and insanious era for the Afro-American in "bleeding Kannan." Dr. Washington's suggestion for the celebration of the centenary of Wm. Lloyd Garrison's birth has been almost unanimously ratified by the race press. We shall reprint in a week or two a number of the editorials on the subject which have appeared in our contemporaries. We beg to call attention to the series of biographical sketches of Garrison from the pen of our Mr. Grimke which begins in to day's issue of THE AGE. Mr. W. Ashleigh Hawkins, editor of The Baltimore Lancet, threatens in a signed letter in that paper to suspend its publication because of lack of support from the public and from his associates in the enterprise. The race as a whole would suffer much by the loss of The Lancet, which has been adamably independent and fair. We sincerely hope that Editor Hawkins will triumphantly weather the financial storm which he fears is about to swamp his paper. --- It is significant that a great part of the demand for labor in the South is for such industries, as cotton mills, lumber mills, iron and steel manufacturing, etc., while the demand for agricultural laborers is more infrequent and weaker. This probably means that the need for agricultural laborers is being quite satisfactorily supplied by Afro-Americans. It is not strange that the South hasn't enough laborers to cultivate its cotton crops and to man the factories which have as is by magic spring up all over the section. Since 1850 the capital invested in cotton mills in the South has grown from $100 million in Swedes have just accepted work in the mills near Mobile, and Italians and even Japanese are entering certain States. On the whole, we'd rather work in the cotton fields than to be cooped up in unhealthy factories. The Afro-American, if he clings to the soil, will have the best in the Southern labor situation. GERMAN COLONIAL ERRORS. From The Logos (West African) Weekly Record The great General von Trotha's policy of exterminating the natives in German South West Africa has failed, and the great General is to be supervised by Herr von Lindenquist, whose policy is directly opposed to that of the great General. It is most unfortunate that the native rbng should have taken place in the German Colony, and while no one will excuse the natives for the murder of the German settlers, still there is room for believing that the natives acted under great prosecution. It is not usual for the native to get up and commute murdering people in cold blood. Such a thing is contrary to the African's very nature, and in the case of the rising in German South West Africa there is every possibility that if the native had been allowed the chance of stitting his own case, all trouble would have been avoided. Major General Lentwuin seems to have realized that there was much to be said on behalf of the native, and hence the lentil treatment accorded to the native by him and for which he was hired in the quarters. It is significant that the newspaper regret is now widely expressed for the premature loss of General Lentwuin's sergeant, and general has been placed on the retired list. This especially since there is no little prospect that the principles of his policy as governor of South West Africa may ultimately be applied in the pacification of the colony. GOOD RIDDANCE OF BAD RUGBISH. From The Richmond Times-Depatch. A New York manager has had several experts in Richmond watching Mr. Dixon's new play, "The Clanman." We hope that they like the North take it to it we have made it the way we may have a mission up there. Down here, arouse the worst passions in both races and produce dereliction on the one hand and revenge on the other. Let "The Clanman" go to the North and joy go with it. A FITTING ALLIANCE From The Springfield Republican. While some Southern newspapers like The Columbia State and Augustus Chronicle are roundly dismaying Dixon and his play, "The Chaneman"; and others, like The Augusta Norval, are contending that it is not Augustus Norval, but the Chaneman. Bester Thuman comes strongly to the desire of the pro-cherokee. That was to be expected. He is something of a Negro-baltic historic. MURDER OF THE COURT. Mr. Bingham what he saw and Mildly Amaed Trumpeter. A great many things happened in the Bush during the President's trip which were not quoted in the newspapers. At a place set a few hundred miles from Tuskegee, where the whites so arranged matters that the blacks could hardly have a glimpse of the President, an old black man who had been a Republican since the days of President Grant, turned away from the crowd in disgust, explaining: "I ain' got no blinces yere, an' I i gwine." "Why, uncle, what's the matter with you?" asked a good-natured white person. "Et is jow' din, sah ! ain got he bismen nee, est' ain' i gwine, bekase de wite folks done gone tek our own Preserderent fum us." The whites certainly made a brave effort to do that very thing, but President Roosevelt refused to be "ticked fun us." He acted the part of "President of all the people," as far as he could, and the arrangements he showed would allow him to be chosen that he felt that way. What a beastly thing Southern white opinion is. I was riding horseback far in the country a few days ago when I came across an unusually poor place. A very old and poor black man was standing before the house. I stopped in front of him and asked: "Do you live here, uncle?" "No, sah; I does not. I slist 'ere, sah." "How is that?" I asked. "Ek it je'fis' dis way, sah! diis 'ere land is dat poor dat a pusson cain' mek erlibin' out 'n it; de mos' he ken do is ter 'si' on et". "Why don't you move, then?" "Why don't you move, then? "To too cool to move, then? an' cf I wouldn't move, then I were I wore, I were I wore." stabt ter do dat, sah, were I gwine?" And the old man, who had been overtaken in his old age with his hands empty, perhaps by no fault of his, looked far away towards the lowering clouds that kissed the misty hills, beyond which he would possibly soon find home and rest from hunger and longing. Last Sunday morning I rode a miler into the country with Mrs. Laura Terrell Jones, a sister of Judge Terrell of Washington, to see the model home which Mrs. Booker T. Washington has planted among the farmers out there and which has been a great help and inspiration to the good people. Mrs. Jones says she likes the work, especially the Sunday school feature of it. And the farmer people are very interesting from many points of view, and apprehensive to that degree, made to talk on farming and land buoy after the Sunday school services, and was very much surprised that the farmers wanted me to keep on. But they were not as surprised as I was. I am not an orator, and I do not like to talk in public; and when I find anyone who wants me to do it I am always surprised. The effects of the toilets, the farmhouse and lives of the farmers. Their houses and farms are in much better condition than those of their neighbors beyond the influence of the work of the Tuskegee missionaries. What a good, self-sacrificing work it is; just such work as is needed to instruct the masses properly in right living. The work is under the supervision of Miss Anna A. Tuskegee, a teacher and a woman of a little woman. She has a woman assistant and a small boy. Between them they raise a lot of farm and garden stuff with two mules, and they have cows and pigs. The home is a model one, and the country children are given an opportunity along with the older people learn how a farm is made and what small areas of real city that such works are not scattered all over the rural districts of the South. But the Elizabeth Russell Settlement work is not the only help which Mrs. Washington renders the farmer people. She has a Mother's club in the town of Tuskegee, which is now quite old, as she was in operation when she came. All farmers come to town on Saturday. That weakness is as old as the South, I suppose, and will never get any younger. I believe. It is no bad thing, as the monotony of rural life must have some interruption. When the farmer men are attending to their affairs, they must come into the Mother's club and see how a home should be kept and have good and helpful words spoken to them by Mrs. Washington and her assistants. It is quite remarkable how much real good work Mrs. Washington manages to do among the students and the retiring she has to do in her beautiful home, "The Oaks," where there are perennially most permanent and transient; is considered. It is difficult to see how Dr. Washington could get along with his work without the devoted assistance of his more than a hundred helpers, at the head of whom is Mr. Emmett J. Scott. Mr. Scott has oversight of everything, from a requisition for lead pencils to directing the arrangements for the reception of a President, when one happens to visit the Inventor and what he has been made aware in time at the Institute. Mr. Scott's grasp of the details of the Tuskegee Institute work is not second to that of Dr. Washington's to whom and to whose interests he is absolutely devoted. Indeed, there is something beautiful and inspiring not only in Mr. Scott's devotion to Dr. Washington's Institute and of the students. Their first thought is of their grand chief, who while master of it all is still the most modest and unobtrusive man in conduct and speech of all the dwellers on the four square miles of Institute grounds. Mr. Scott does the work of three men, but he was never the master of all if he were instead a man of leisure. And what a dear family he has to make his home life a haven of rest—a good wife and five sweet children. Talking about Dr. Washington's assistants in the Institute work, reminds me that the outside world seldom hears anything about his brother, Mr. John H. Washington, who has charge of all of the industries which the Institute controls. He is a tireless worker, a man of aplendid executive ability, and does more real hard work than any of the army of workmen. He is the most good nature, and everybody speaks of him favorably as "Finnie John," or "Mr. J. H." He is a splendid handler of horses, but in getting over the immense grounds of the Institute he prefers to ride a fine old pig" which keeps the same pace in his surroundings. When仕饯 him "Mr. J. H." "I. T." called for from "Mr. R. T." looks for all the world like an old country gentleman of the white sort. 22 President Roosevelt came and went on October 24. It was a great day for the Embassy Institute and for the country. He would. Those of us who saw it will well like the like of it again, for it can hardly come twice in a lifetime; and there never will be lost and maintained and are Number 7. W. W. Hobson. I have been at Tuxingo Institute for three weeks, for the first time in eight years. Nearly everything material here has endangered a collection. Most of the materials have given pieces to magnificent brick structures. What a pleasant visit it has been! And how short! I shall be in New York when these lines are read by the grand array of Tux Ace. Such is life. We are here to-day and there to-morrow—and then are not. T. T. TWOKS FURTUNE. Truckee Institute, Ala., October 27, 1973. THE SQUARE DEAL This Government was formed with as its basic idea the principle treating each man on his worth as a man, of paying no heed to whether he was rich or poor, no heed to his creed or his social standing, but only to the way in which he performed his duty to himself, to his neighbor, to the State. From this principle we can not afford to vary by so much as a hand's breath. We must be careful and some of them flourished long, but sooner or later they fell; and the cause most potent in bringing about their fall was in almost all cases the fact that they grew to be governments in the interests of a class instead of governments in the interest of all. It made no difference as to which man it was that shunned to its own advantage the governmental machinery. It was ultimately an fatal to the cause of freedom, whether it was the rich who oppressed the poor or the poor who plundered the rich. The crime of brutal disregard of the rights of others is as much a crime when it manifests itself in the shape of greed and brutal arrogance, the one side, as when we oppose the other and lawless violence on the other. Our aim must be to deal justice to each man; no more and no less. This purpose must find its expression and support not merely in our collective action through the agencies of the government, but in our social attitude. Rich man and poor man must alike feel that on the one hand the law is necessary, on the other hand they are responsible to the law; for each is entitled to be fairly dealt with by his neighbor and by the State; and if we as citizens of this Nation are true to father's such fair measure of justice shall always be dealt to each man, so that as far as we can bring it about each shall receive his dues, each shall be given him; shall be seured against wrong, and in turn presented from wronging others. More than this no man is entitled to, and less than this no man shall have. LITERARY NOTES. A volume of Mr. Paul Laurence Dumbral's well-known dialect poems, "Howdy Honey Howdy," is issued by Dodd, Mead & Co. with elaborate borders in the illustrations with many photographs of them taken from life, which add a realistic touch. Dr. Edward Wilmot Blyden, the eminent Librarian scholar, and publisher, delivered four addresses in England which appear as "West Afrien Before Europe" (C. M. Phillips, London). The author's object is to help out the native in Africa according to the natural lines of his development, and the remarkable feature in these lectures is the stress Dr. Blyden puts on the merits of Islam in the Souden and West African, and its civilizing influence. Charles W. Chessmatt, the author of "The Colobine Dream," was once an official court stenographer, according to The New York Sun, and as such reported the notable case of Corligan against John D. Rockefeller which has figured so prominently in the stories that have been written about the Oll Klug. Mr. Chessmatt is a fellow townman of Mr. Rockefeller in Cleveland, where he is successful attorney. He owes the beginning of his successful career to the accident of meeting another law who had a shorthead manual which the author bought for 10 cents. He taught himself stenographer while he was teaching school. "The Broadbent Treasuries of the Poets" comprises a series of four dainty vey pocke volumes, entitled as follows: (1) A Treasury of Love; (2) A Russell Lowell Treasury; (3) An Emerson Treasury; (4) A Treasury of Consolation. The price is 10 cents each. Over 100,000 copies of these treasures have been sold in England in four years through the generous help of the publishers, which has given generous appreciation the undertaking and of placing within reach of the poorest some beautiful gems of American and English poetry. No expense is spired in the printing and get up. Announcement is made of the organization of a National publication committee in the field of practical philanthropy and social advance—a new idea under the sun and distinctly an American one. Its first work has been to merge Charities of New York, and the Commons of Chicago, and after November 1 they will come out as a combined weekly publication. From its inception Charities has stood for progress in organized effort for bettering conditions. The Commons has been a spirited exponent of the settlement movement. Their editors, Edward T. Devine and Graham Taylor, will be associated in the editorship of the joint undertaking. An important volume on the great question of the education of the race in the South is announced by the American Unitarian Association. The book gives the history and work of six of the leading Southern institutions engaged in race education, and is written by men who are actually on the ground spending their lives in sympathetic touch with this tremendous problem. The chapter on Howard University is written by Prof. Kelly Miller, on Berea College by President William G. Front, and on Tuptekee Institute by Prof. Roscoe Conkling Bruce. ROOSEVALT ON JUDGE JONES. In his address at Taukeegue Institute President Roosevelt interrupted his set speech to pay a tribute to Judge Thomas G. Jones, whom he saw on the platform: "I'm going to say something here to a man, which, I suspect, he doesn't want me to say. He is a modest man, as I have seen him. He is a man of great obligation, an obligation he can never pay, to Judge Jones for his inflexible courage, his hard work, his courage, his courage, his courage, to all men their justice! And as great a debt as the Negro owes him the white man owes him a still greater debt, the Negro owes him a better factor, the building of oneself and aid of justice to all men. It pleases me to be able to tell you this." The justice of the compliment ended it to be heartily cheered, and these cheers, we are confident, will be echoed by Afro-American everywhere. Bilshil H. One Kind Totally Free From Rab Prodigies. Regular Correspondence of the ACM. CHICAGO, Ill., October 30—Public announcement has been made that two well known ministers of the A. M. E. church have been admitted to full membership in Dowie's church at Zion City and have been ordained as alders. One of the converts to Dowieism is Rev. D. A. Grisham, who has been a prominent member of the A. M. E. connection and recently the popular pastor of the Detroit Methodist church. The name of the other minister, converted is Mr. Denby, who has been engaged in the missionary work of the A. M. E. church in the Iowa conference. In following up these surprising conversions your correspondent has discovered that the Zion people have been carrying on a quiet proselytizing campaign among the colored people throughout the country, to the extent that Zion worsens and elders are to be found everywhere. Their method is to get together small groups of intelligent colored people and have a heart to heart talk with them upon the doctrine of the Christian Catholic church and the life of John Alexander Dowie. These converts do not number many at a time, but here and there are more than a thousand man or woman is converted and admitted into full fellowship in Zion. In seeking converts among the colored people, effort is made to secure men and women of character and intelligence. One of the recent converts told me that his application was held up for several weeks. During that time a searching investigation was made as to his record as a man and Methodist minister with the intention to determine his fitness and worthiness. It will not be possible for any kind of a tramp preacher to find an easy and comfortable berth in the fold of Zion. In the social, political and industrial life of the Zion community, the Gila Rule is an actual, vital and living principle. Here men and women are not required to race, color or language, but as related it is not only the place in the country where the people are making an honest and earnest effort to put in practice the religion they profess to believe in. The very air you breathe seems to be surcharged with reverence for the sanctities of life. There is no can, but every day the seems to act as a call to the highest and best in the nature and life of the people. Several colored people are living happily and successfully in the community of Zion. If there be any prejudice against them, they will be waived if it does not show up. You will see colored people in all kinds of situations, official and non-official, without a suggestion of discrimination against them, time of the old-armen of the community colored man, several of them are in the army, and many of them other hold homelike places in the archeology. John Alexander Downs obeys prejudice and never fails to rebel to the least show of it at any time and beaten. He has been known to stop the mistress of a shabuake a man of the assembled multitude, slight shown toward a colored person. An interesting story was told your seniority as illustrative of Dow's sincerity in denouncing race prejudice. A young Southern gentleman of large wealth became a convert, a resident of Zion and a priest in the church and community. A large pot of his wealth had been bestowed upon the cause of his faith. He believed himself to be a therophile, and generated follower of Zion and so was until his Southern eyes fell upon the sight of some colored members of the church community, who were opposing all the rights and benefits, without respectations, of this new and Goliath Zion. Southern gentlemen became involved in his life. He has been strong in foreign affairs, and high ambitions for the cause of Zion, but when it came to his pet profession, his fellow man, a thing he desired by right of inheritance, that had always been an insignia of sovereignty, a badge of honor and distinction, a something he could not and would not surrender to his do with it? Naturally, his first task was to offer him the secure his freedom from the threat of social contact with Norwegians. When he dared to make his own John Alexander Dowie that almost fabulously endow Zion if he could but draw the line on Negroes, he could clarify that he accepted the offer, but neither he bought nor sold. The Southerner was given to understand that he must either put up with sociality or pack his grip and go back to Mississippi where the Carolina Mississippi conditions of life in Zion is easy to understand why colonists can become such willing convicts. We can scarcely blame any people for the loss from the mean limitations and general harm of ordinary tant Christian church. I learn also that the Zion pastors carrying on an extensive mission among the Negroes of South Africa expect to make a stronghold of Zion that part of Africa. The work of pastors and man follow in the work of Christian civilization sade under the banner of Elijah H. pietly and brotherhood are not ascribed on their banner of proverbs but they are life principles to be lived in and out of the church. Whatever may be said of the church commander Dr. Dowie, in the doctrine of brotherhood of the church and the brotherhood of the church, forceful religious leaders of this institution.

Major Filmore Has a Plan to Improve Fire Insurance Rates at Afro- Americana—Midge's Civil Rights Cause Before Supreme Court—Dr. Purina Needs to Arrive from Bahia. WASHINGTON, D.C., October 30—The spirit of the National Negro Business League is asserting itself herebouts and is invading every nook and cranny of our material life. Colored men are beginning to see the wisdom and necessity of keeping in touch with the thousands of dollars spent annually by us. Every week finds some one of us entering pursuits not before attempted by men of the race. The latest venture is the plan for a fire insurance company which to handle principally if not exclusively the business of colored people. Major Charles W. Fillmore, the head of the movement, was formerly Ohio, but for a number of years has been an accountant in the office of the Auditor for the War Department. He served during the Spanish-American war with distinction and has held a number of places of honor and trust. Some two years ago he began a study of the financial condition of the race with a view to organizing a fire insurance company. He found first that many of the fire insurance companies are charging colored people higher rates than the whites; although no good and valid reason for this was given, and that the excitations are more rigid and binding. In many cases the companies will not handle the business of colored people at all. Thousands of dollars are being paid annually to these companies in the way of premiums by colored policy holders without the slightest recognition in return. The monopoly of the business that it has been necessary to insure with them or go without protection. The laws in many states are so rigid, due to the large amount of risks at stake, that a company with a capital stock of less than $100,000 cannot exist unless it be a mutual concern the stability of the company requires the need therefore for relief of some kind and not finding it practicable or prudent to organize a new company at the present time. Major Fillmore undertook the task of interesting some old and well established companies in the market, with the result that he has been most successfull in organizing companies in the East has decided to place in his charge the writing of risks where the property is owned by colored people. He will do that and nothing else. If sufficient business can be secured, and it can if the colored people co-operate with him and awake to their own interests, lower the risk and increase the profits and policies written in a company which will not tolerate discriminations. The assets of this company are more than $1,000,000, sufficient to guarantee absolute safety and the prompt payment of losses. The bishops of the great A. M. E. and A. M. E. Zion churches have endorsed the laws of the laws of the laws of the dollars they do in church property, the success of the company seems assured. Law suits to test the civil rights of colored people are constantly up before the Supreme Court in this city. Only last week Ruben Hodges and four others resided in Arkansas submitted cases before the Supreme Court. Hodges, the federal court, in the charge of complying to exert some colored people who had secured a labor contract to abandon the work. The charge is that the compulsion was on account of the color of the contractors and the case involves the civil rights of the colored men under the law, watching these cases with great interest. Mosses, Board and Motture, pharmacists, who opened up business in 1912 14th street, N. W. last Spring, have been forced to enlarge their stock of goods and to put in a number of extra cases for drugs, perfumers, etc. Everything is bright and new, new safety methods to ensure safety. They have earned success by describing it. The National Baptist Convention which is in session this week in Chicago, has drawn very largely from our local Baptist paltit. Among those attending are W.

By their work they have not only given to their rare high ideals, but have helped to make the common school system of the South among the colored schools, possible. Without the work of such trained teachers much of the money appropriated by the state for common schools would have beenasted. More than 30,000 ministers have received training in these schools, and about 500 of them have been sent forth as regular graduates from the theological schools, largely operated the 19 colonies, for ten years, with 180 ministers, and a membership of nearly 20,000.

Construction, Mailings Telephone: 412-765-1234 Regular Correspondence of the Auc. ATLANTA, Ga., October 30—Governs Glenn of North Carolina has written a letter to some Maryland Democrats on the effects of distranchise in his State. The letter said letter on its face has only the appearance of being merely the everyday kind of clap-trap and buncombe reported to by Southern Democrats, in attempting to shield themselves and to cheer their own consciences, if such is possible, when discussing their own violation of the right of a black man to vote. But this letter from the governor contains one or two lines which, when once they are closely studied, cause the cloven foot of the whole insulting business to loom up large and thick. Stripping the letter of the stereotyped argument of a desire to be rid of alleged purchasable black voters and overlooking the assertion that "since the amendment went into effect we have had no trouble," we run upon the following: "The Negro seems to have lost all interest in politics and has gone to work and is becoming a better citizen. Peace reigns at the polls; there are no disturbances of any kind. Election day, is as quiet as Sims, and our people are prospering more than they have ever done in the history of the State." There might have been something more sad by the Governor, but the above quotation will serve our purpose. Naturally we would be inferred by people who live long way off and do not know the facts in the case that before the passage of the enforcement law in North Carolina, we suddenly defended by its Christian Governor, the black people of the Tar Hall State were a vagrant class, for that the unmistakable inference from the experience of the Governor, who observes that time the black people has gone to work. Think of it! It once a few years ago that the crops were made by white men, the hard labor and the drudgery, and now it is before the black people Governor himself and deliberately planned when he wrote those lines to leave the impression that before the passage of the infliction of the Negro was neglected his work, the black man has come to know. Now in all fairness is it true that the passage of these proscriptive and classless the black people in North Carolina had not "gone to work?" If they not been doing all along just are they doing to day? Is there an person who will say they had not? What impossible to escape the com- bat that had not upon reading the book? Is it really just to say that the because the white people wanted it and let it go at attempt to defend it by the same and imminent that are- kind. As a result of it work by the Governor them. Everybody, the Afro-Americans, is glad to hear this: all unlikely that the Government another letter that the State of North Carolina—he is for what reason is not half as good as they The Governor further finds that day is as quiet as Sunny and warm as it is not all the more visible. It may be put down as fact that all of the discontent forever Democratic of North Carolina and other the world that it is deprived men to differ politically, cannot be done as long as Negro domination keeps North Carolina in hostage, never that if the Afro-Americans eliminated some of the States would be found in the Eastern column. But what do we find true facts? Ample time has elapsed in those States which have all franchised the black voter to the Republican gains, and have they any anybody heard of any white Mississippi, Louisiana, South Carolina, Louisiana, the Republican party even in still more franchised in these States. It is worth a white man's life of some of these States and work for the Reconstruction in all of them he does stressing thought that for his family will very likely have a governor who does not as quiet as no white voter in a Republican ballot, suffer socially for the black voter is allowed, using the Democratic government on the South, of the Afro-American voting does not break it and, though it does not break it in defense with his State in disgust, men but white men him and his fellow Americans speakers and must and attentive his as he in his eloquent the wife of Democracy: served to the very echo a man plunging with white Democracy already doomed. Problem of the day, the task of drawing the old rut. Would Georgia have been under Watson and his white power? Not a man back leaders or follow his campaigns ever for office. Many of the disfranchised. It is the attitude. But nobody Tom Watson that if disfranchised it will struggle hold that Democracy of Georgia. He is done and again try political field, but the same to him. Fortunely a man to again attempt that neither the Re-Politist party either additions by reason of the ballot from the these remarks, that as a re- commendation, "our people are than they have ever done in the State." The right Nation is to use the back map we are informed that that way post haste, will have accounted to the increased property of the in great measure to to hard work and to was in the sadly that this was not Tom Watson, when some of us down this way followed with unwavering consistency, some years ago, believes that it is best to disfranchise us because then white men will dislodge and some other than the Democratic party will have a chance. Governor Glenn believes that we ought to be distranchised because it will make us go to work and be better citizens. And there you have it from two Christian gentlemen who are devoting a great deal of their time to attacking through the powerful influences at their command a people who have no doubt done much toward making both of them the men they are to-day. THOMAS H. MALONK WOMAN SUFFRAGISTS MEET. At State Convention Last Week Susan R. Anthony and Harriet Tubman Were Present—Mrs. Jeffrey Tells of the Rise of the Club Movement and Its Emphasis on Practical Things. Rochester, October 20.—The New York woman's suffragette held their State convention in this city four days last week. Every county was represented. Among those present who have done much for the Afro-American were Miss Anna Mills of Geneva, Miss Susan R. Anthony, "Aunt" Harriet Tubman and others. Mrs. R. J. Jeffrey, president of the State Federation of Colored Women's clubs, made an interesting report as follows: **The club movement among the colored women of the United States is about ten years old; that is the organization of mother's clubs, domestic science clubs and literary clubs, which are supporting hospitals, homes and social settlements. Indeed, no work that can emphasize the desire to help others is too difficult to be attempted. Four or five thousand women are united in one National association. In many parts of the country, North and South, there are State federations. Many States have formed a Southern Federation, of which Mrs. Booker T. Washington is president. The New York State Federation is about four years old. The Phyllis Wheatley club of Buffalo, is conducting a settlement where cooking, sewing and housework are taught to children. This work is wholly supported by the clubs in an Old Ladies' Home will soon be supported and will support the State Federation. In The State C. Joffrey Industrial Association has opened a home for self-supporting colored girls. "The Susan R. Anthony club is the oldest in the State. We have a Bible woman, whose duty is to visit the needy. We do it an honor to be named for Susan R. Anthony. Miss Anthony has always been a true friend to our race. Fifty years ago it was a disgrace to be aound to the poor, downtrodden race, but she where we love and honor her." After Mrs. Jeffries concluded she was accorded enthusiastic applause. The suffragists gave a reception at the Powers Wednesday evening which was attended by five hundred delegates and friends. The harvest-home entertainment at Zion church the first four nights of last week was a social and financial success. The processing program was rendered each evening. Miss Maline Thomas has been engaged to sing at St. Andre's Brotherhood on November 21. Last Friday evening Mrs. R. L. Kent tendered her little daughter a surprise party on the occasion of her 12½ birthday. A large number of little girls were present and enjoyed a pleasant evening playing army games. When the guests arrived at school and amused them she was completely surprised when she was awakened and saw the number of her friends present. The J. C. Price Library Union hold an interesting meeting Friday evening. Among those present was Mrs. Harriett Tubman, who was introduced to the audience by Rev. J. W. Brown, whose guest told us an interesting and earnest manner of her early struggles in life. Charles Cannon visited his home in Buffalo on October 28. LADY MUSICIAN MARRIED. Mina Hailie L.

Harper Richardson took place at the residence of the bride's mother, 316 West 50th street, Sunday evening at 7.45. Rav. A. D. Chandler performed the groomry. Notwithstanding the fact that Miss Anderson could not for professional reasons send out a single invitation, quite a number were present, who in turn brought presents in keeping with the occasion. The maid of honor was a sister of the groom. Miss Minnie Richardson, while Mr. Charles H. Anderson, a brother of the bride, acted as groomsman. Miss Anderson's orchestra during the evening rendered quite number of classic selections dedicated to the bride and groom. A table dinner was served, after which the part of the bride left the house.

LOUISVILLE, Ky., October 28.—Bishop Walters, president of the Afro-American Council, was in the city last week to meet his wife and son, who were the guests of Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Watson. The Bishop had an extended trip through the South. He paid a high tribute to the progressive Afro-American of Mobile and the State of Alabama. He stopped at Tukuee and saw this magnificent school running at full blast with its 1,500 students. The Bishop addressed large gatherings throughout Kentucky. A visitor at the Central high school on passing through the hall, will notice a roll of honor of those who have been excellent in attendance, deportment and scholarship. The honor roll is an arrangement of Prof. W. P. Annis, teacher of Literature. Surrounding the names, which are displayed monthly, are beautifully drawn columns, with other pretty decorations. This artistic painting is from the brush of Miss Lucile Annis. Quite a deal of friendly rivalry is now existing in the high school, and Prof. Annis states that the work at school is progressing nicely. The high school had a larger attendance than ever. Those whose names appeared on the honor roll for September were: Senior class, Lucile Annis, Ethel Gibbs, Ethel Jackson, Carrie Patterson, Hattie Tucker and Margaret Parks; junior class, Bessie Davis; junior-B class, Georgia Thomas; and freshman-A class, Henrietta Hammonds and Goble Hammonds. Private recitations in the class room once a month as a teacher, Georgia Thomas, and vention worthy of much commendation. Students under Prof. Harris admire his new method. Mr. Robert H. Jewell started two years ago with a $25 stock of small notions; now his stock invoices at $1,000. He has a splendid trade, and it is growing daily.

If the Afro-Americans will patronize him. THE NEW YORK AGE bureau is at the corner of West and Walnut streets, in Masterton's tailor shop. Phone: 1902. We note with special interest the work being done by Rev. L. G. Jordan, secretary of the Afro-American Council. Several rights of Afro-American citizens have been imposed, and his attention was given the wrong to secretary. In a short time apologies were offered with a promise of the stricter performance of duty by employers hereafter. The Louisville people have caught the William Lloyd Harrison spirit and are beginning to prepare appropriate celebrations for December 10. Aside from having hawkers and teachers to orate, a clamor is being made for such younger speakers as Goodall, Harris, Saunders and Elba. Louisville society will be surprised Christmas by the marriage of one of her most famous teachers. This wedding will mark quite an event during the Christmas holidays. It seems that it would be better for the Afro-Americanus on Walnut street to patronize Mr. Fannings as well as they do the Jow in the next block. Several years ago the Jow began, as did Mr. Fannings, and to-day the former owner a half block and a big store and is running for Councillman. Give some patronage to the Afro-American. He will hire Negro boys and girls to wait on Negro customers. The correspondent of *Turt* Ack called the Mr. Jow on *Matthew* of the *Courier* magazine, last week and was given a courtesue welcome.

Some expect to go to St. Louis on Thanksgiving day. The Afro-Americans have at last divided in politics. The recent registration plainly indicates that the colored voters have drifted largely from the Republican party in local affairs. Much of of this is attributed to the stand taken by Dr. Sol Stone, D. L. Knight and Tom Cole. The Baptist ministers have returned to the city after having attended the successful national meeting at Chicago. The Kentucky delegation made quite an impression and sustained our State reputation for oratory and money sparing. The widening Fountain Smith and Mr. Burrows was sownalized at the Calvary Baptist church last Thursday night. Rev. Turley officiating.

Englewood, October 20.—The Presbyterian council, which consists of Ministers and lay delegates from Maryland Delaware, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York and the District of Columbia, convened last Thursday afternoon in their twelfth annual session, at Bethany Presbyterian chapel. Though the council is not numerically large, it is a strong and representative body of men. They are all graduates of some of the best Presbyterian colleges and theological seminaries of the country. The following members have been honored by being chosen as moderators of their presbyteries; Dr. F. K. Grimek of the Washington presbytery; Dr. E. K. Fleggerman of the Baliheli; Dr. E. K. Johnson of the Harrisburg presbytery; Dr. Matthew Anderson of the Philadelphia presbytery; and Dr. W. A. Alexander of the Brooklyn presbytery. The chapel in which the council convened was handsomely carpeted for the occasion and is pleasantly and conveniently located. The council was called to order by the retiring president, Rev. J. W. Lee of Philadelphia, at 3 p. m. The first business was the organization of the council, which was effected as follows: Rev. C. Le Roy Butter of New York City, president; Rev. J. M. Boyd, M. D. of Troy, vice-president; Rev. G. S. Warren of New Jersey, vice-president; Rev. H. W. Howell of Milwaukee, N. Y.; assistant secretary; Dr. Matthew Anderson of Philadelphia, treasurer, and Dr. W. A.

Ferguson, and Dr. Matthew Ander. son. Dr. W. A. Alexander's report on the work of the churches was very encouraging. Saturday morning's session was made interesting by the spirited discussion which followed Rev. W. H. Morrow's paper on "Worldly Amusements." During the afternoon the delegates visited the Pandora's. At a.m. Sunday, Rev. W. R. Templton penned an instructive lecture on "Opportunity" and Rev. W. R. Williams made an eloquent address on endeavor work in the church. Rev. G. S. Stark gave a forceful, practical talk on the offering up of our bodies to Christ, followed by remarks, by the Rev. J. C. Scarborough. At the evening service short addresses were made by the members of the church and work of the Presbyterian church; but the last half hour was given to evangelistic service, which resulted in the conversion of five persons. The closing scene of the council was very impressive. The council will meet on the Thursday before last Sunday in October, 1900, at last Sunday in October, 1900, at praise of the church cannot be said in praise of the laffalate and of the church for the entertainment recorded the council, for which it showed its appreciation in grateful resolutions.

Boston, October 30.—He was said in these columns some time ago, it seems as if the energies of the campaign are being expended by both parties in the lieutenant-governorship. It looks at this writing as if Guild and Whitney will be the winners. Senator Lodge is making the fight of his life, and if it should turn out that candidate Whitney wins, it will be a strong rebuke to Lodge and to bisonism, such as it is claimed the senior Senator welds over Massachusetts. Rev. Duckrey, with Mr. Paul Wooten, has apparently made peace with the G. O. P., for on Thursday evening the Republican candidates for governor and lieutenant governor spoke to a crowded rally at Mr. Oliver church, which was presided over by Hon. W. H. Lewis. This affair was an indication not only that notice is being taken of the colored brother, who seemingly had been ignored hereofore in the campaign, but that all and every means will be taken to win. The committee of Boston men who will endeavor to celebrate the 100th anniversary of Garrison's birth on December 10, are to meet in Boston on Friday to the importance of the occasion. In the opinion of a large number of citizens, any committete for this celebration should certainly include Mr. John J. Smith and Mr. W. H. McCormick, to all the Afro-Americans left alive in Boston, wore with Garrison, both in counsel and as body guards during those dark days when physical courage of the highest type was needed. Certainly, during the period, who is now living among us, should be the orator of that occasion, for if it is not he, the orator will have to draw largely from data, prepared by him. At St. Mark's literary Sunday Ralphson, Esq., read a poem in Gothic the German, and poet. A large and critical audience followed his remarks and showed their appreciation of the salient points made. A spirited discussion followed and Lawyer Seals and Mr. Brown of the Riverside Press particularly happy in their report. There were many of the (of the) great German character had evidently 1 been cursory. At the meeting last Sunday at the Educational Aid association Miss Libyan Bresley of Philadelphia, read a paper on convincing with futures showing the large amount of money the colored people have in banks, and on which they get a very small interest. She said that in this city alone the colored people have in the various banks between four and five million into business, would not only make investors independent but would afford employment at good wages for hundreds of our boys and girls who are graduating from our schools and colleges every year, and for others also. The paper was timely comments by J. W. White, G. W. Harriet of Harvard university, Miss Bortha Brown and Mrs. Irene A. Jurix. The scripture lesson was read by Miss Alice Cannon and the musical program was conducted by Mrs. Jurix and Miss Brown. Next Boundary day, day 11. Johnstone of Columbia, B. C., will be the speaker. No new, new Tazman, you will complete without a word about the popular councilman, William Willis, who will be for election for the fourth time. He is bright, alert and capable and there is no doubt that he will be elected and still reflect credit on us all.

WORK FOR ST. PAUL CHURCH All Denominations Will Help Save Historic Edifice—Political Disintegration in Cambridge—Men's Forum Congratulates Tunkegue, c. CAMBRIDGE, October 30.—The magnificent effort being made by St. Paul's church under the leadership of Rev. Sewan holds the center of the stage, and all roads lead to St. Paul's. It seems superfluous to speak a good word for that historic church. The birthplace of every movement for good that has affected the interests of the Afro-Americans of Cambridge. From all parts of the country have come and are coming the most eminent men of the race, and the whole strength of the great A. M. E. church, through some of its most eminent divines, is being brought to bear. Other denominations, Episcopal, Baptist and Catholic, are all helping, and on a certain evening will take charge and help raise the funds to save the edifice. It is a splendid testimonial to the efforts of the pastor, a newcomer among us. As was prophesied in these columns Mayor Daly has refused to run, having and the screws put upon him by the ring. In the meantime, the American politicians are at sea and the contest has narrowed to Bloedgert and Wardwell, with the chances favoring Bloedgert. In the meantime, under the leadership of Newsome, directed from Boston, machines, equipment and part-time officers formed an army board of office holders and men who have been a little malodious in most dealings with our people. There promised to be peace, but there can be no peace till the men who have no bride on them and the men who have no bride on the race in the community have recognition. Clark acts like a defeated candidate, and there can be no doubt that Senator Round's friends would shed no tears if that should happen. The men whose interest are those who have no least infuriate On Sunday the Men's Forum discussed the significance of President Roosevelt's visit South and its effect on the Afro-American. The discussion was very live, showing a wide divergence of opinion; commend the President for his courage. A resolution to send the following message to Tuskegee was offered by ex-President Miller and was carried unanimously by the students and the audience that crowded the hall to its doors: "Cambridge, Mass., October 20, 1908.
