M'CLELLAN ELECTED MAYOR BUT HEARST WAS BEATEN BY ONLY 2,000 VOTES. Jerome Victorious by 12,000 Plurality— Irvine a Bed Third in Mayoral Race —Dienstrom Day for Buses Every- where—Gorman and Poe Amendment Lose in Maryland—Colby Winn in Newark—Weaver Smahen Philadelphia Ring—Virginia Lily Whites Defeated. William Randolph Hearst went crashing through the Tammany lines Tuesday, leaving McChellan a plurality of only 2,004. McChellan's election as mayor is conceded by all, except the Hearst newspapers, which claim that the editor-candidate was robbed of enough votes to elect him, and threaten a contest. But Tammany lost control of the Board of Aldermen to the Republicans, keeping, however, the Estimate Board. The vote for mayor was about as follows: McChellan . . . 228,404 Hearst . . . 234,755 Irvine . . . 187,787 William Travers Jerome, the independent candidate for District Attorney, received a plurality of 18,000. This victory is one of National importance, as it establishes the possibility of a man's winning an office without first swearing allegiance to some boss. Mr. William M. Ivina, the intrepid and gallant Republican candidate, was not supported by the normal Republican vote, into whose ranks Heart cut deeply. In other cities Tuesday was a disastrous day for the bosses, as the following dispatches show: BALTIMORE, Md., November 7—That the Poe disfranchisement amendment is beaten throughout the State is almost without doubt. Baltimore City polled a heavy vote against it, approximating 20,000 votes. With this went the Democratic candidates for city offices and a majority of the legislative candidates. Many Democrats cut their ticket as against the amendment, while the Republicans lined up opposites against the Poe proposition and for their respective candidates. While reports from the counties are late, near midnight there is every indication that the opposition to the amendment had its effect upon the vote cast for the Legislature, and there is reason to believe that when the votes are counted the Lower House of the General Assembly of Maryland will be close. Contrary to expectation, the illiterates in the outlying districts voted quite well in spite of complicated ballots. All in all, the Republicans have the State with them as far as returns show. PHILADELPHIA, November 7.—Mayor Weaver shattered the Durham-McNeilch ring today, the City Party electing all of its candidates by a majority of 25,000. The most high-handed means were employed by both parties, each of which was supported by armed bands of the toughest thaws the city's slums could furnish. NEWARK, N. J., November 7.—Everett Colby, the Republican candidate for State Senator in Essex county, wins by more than 16,000 over Julian Gregory. Frank Summer, Republican candidate for Sheriff, runs behind Colby at least 3,000. Colby has his victory almost without addition, the county Republican committee as an independent candidate for the nation. Summer was opposed by the mayor interests, and this put him far behind the head of the ticket. Los Angeles Republican ticket in Essex county and Newark was elected by a swing majority. The recount may end unless the fight against Colby was won, and accusations were made during the day that many of the regulars at the level of wards on the Republican Committee for merit or working against Birmingham, N. J., November 7.—The Los Angeles Republicans of this State did not believe their abandonment of the New American voters, for the Democrats were usual victory. HIGH SCHOOL'S HALLOWEEN.

James W. Johnson, president of the club, was in the chair. All of the local political lights and several distinguished men of prominence in Afro-American circles were out. It was an old-time, enthusiastic Republican meeting, and marked the end of a strong and vigorous campaign which has been pursued by the campaign committee of the Colored Republican club. Mr. James W. Johnson, in a brief and witty speech, opened the meeting and introduced Mr. W. H. Butler, the amorous and eloquent spellbinder of the 27th Assembly district. Mr. Butler reviewed Mr. William M. Ivins' past record in municipal affairs, and urged every Afro-American voter to stand firm by the Republican party. Hon. Charles W. Anderson was introduced to the audience in a happy vein by Chairman Johnson and received an ovation on beginning his address. His speech was a campaign masterpiece, and his witticisms in forcibly illustrating the merits of the Republican party were loudly applauded. Hon. William M. Ivina, accompanied by Senators Elseberg, Slater and a staff of newspaper reporters then entered the ball while the band played, "Hail to the Chief," and the vast audience rose enmase and gave him an enthusiastic ovation. Chairman Johnson briefly introduced Mr. Ivina, who made his chief speech of the evening to the colored voters. His pointed epigrams went home. His promise to give every one a square deal regardless of color was the occasion of an ovation lasting several minutes. Mr. Gilchrist Stewart made a brief and eloquent exposition of some of the chief issues of the campaign, and his denunciation of the use of the American flag by Tammany received aplaeuse lasting several minutes. Mr. Thomas Q. Quailes advocated the support of Jerome. H. A. C. Anderson, candidate for register, Assemblymen Agnew, Prentice, F. De Witt Wells and many of the local candidates in the so-called "colored districts" were present and made brief remarks.

Thomas, Mr. J. W. Overton and others. Quite a furry was caused when at the commencement of Mr. Irvins' speech Dr. Booker T. Washington quietly entered the hall and took a seat. He was, however, recognized by the audience and newspaper reporters and for a few minutes Irvins was lost sight of by all of the candidates upon the platform who were endeavoring to see Dr. Washington.

Golden Gate Tabernacle, No. 2, of the original Grand United Order of Galilean Fishermen, organized in Baltimore, Md., in 1856, stands to-day as one of the oldest and strongest organizations in the country, having been organized a half century and being composed of men, women and children of the Negro race. Notwithstanding the differences of opinion that have arisen in this jurisdiction and have caused a separation, the old order stands firm. We have 600 tabernacles in the United States and West Indies, with a total membership of 23,000; a bank at Hampton, Va., doing a yearly business of $31,000. The annual session held at Chester, Pa., showed a large increase over last year. Owing to the fact that our delegate, Sister Ella A. Thomas, went abroad, it was decided to defer her report until she returns, or to such time as it would meet the convenience of the members of the tabernacle. It was read before the tabernacle October 25, 1905, and was interesting in all of its details. It showed that $13,490 had been paid out for death claims in eighteen months under the endowment system. Each member that holds an endowment policy receives, in the event of death, the first year, $50; the second year, $75; the third year, $100, the face value of the policy. There are no death taxes paid by any member. The dues are 40 cents per month. The weekly sick aid $4 per week. We are sorry we cannot give to the public the most excellent report in detail as brought to us by our efficient and esteemed delegate. Deposits in our bank for 1906, $94,947.93; profits from discounts, $1,515.97; from real estate, $4,014.83; from furniture and fixtures, $1,757.75; total business year ending July, 1906, $81,190.63; total receipts of the session held in Chester, Pa. August 1 to 4, 1906, inclusive. $2,500.99. Respectfully submitted, Ella A. Thomas, Delaware. FRED R. MOORE. Board of Education maintains Her Administration of M St. High School. WASHINGTON, November 6.—The long drawn-out controversy over Mrs. Anna J. Cooper's administration of the M street high school has been settled at last and Mrs. Cooper comes out victorious. The investigation by the board of education brought to light many things favorable to her. It showed that the high standing of the school had not only been maintained, but had been advanced somewhat, that graduates of the school had been the first to enter Harvard College direct from the District of Columbia schools, that scholarship had been introduced and given under her administration, and that through this inspiration pupils were encouraged to attain a higher average and thus to seek higher education: A report of the final meeting states that her retention was ascribed to her high intellectual attainments, her excellent reputation, and because she received the support of a large proportion of the colored race in the District. No changes were made in the curriculum of the school. MU members of the board were present. The board spoke highly of Mrs. Cooper's attainments and her general character, and concluded with the following: "In view of all the facts and conclusions, and the very strong desire of a large proportion of the colored race in this District to have Mrs. Cooper retained as principal, we recommend her retention, with the express direction, however, that the standards of work, the grading of students, and the recommendation of students for graduation be conducted strictly in accordance with the policy of the board of education and the conclusions of this report, and that in her official conduct she shall recognize the authority of her superior officer, the director of high schools, and conform her official conduct if all respects to rules of the board. "In conclusion, the committee recommends that a strict observance be made of the work in the M street high school, with a view of maintaining the standards and work herein set forth, preventing any improper conduct on the part of teachers, tending to create disaffection, securing a strict observance of that discipline, official recognition of superior officers, and conduct essential to the best and highest educational results in this important school, and that stated reports of these observations be made to the board for proper action thereon." The report on the case was lengthy, and consisted of four closely written typewritten pages. The trouble at the school was dealt with in every detail. Like the report on the late Swartzell case, the document was aimed to satisfy all parties interested in the case, and it is the hope of the board that there will be harmony at the school in the future.

Turner, former superintendent of the Sunday school of the Bridge street A. M. E. church, will be the speaker. Newark Notes.

JOHN H. WILLS TO RETIRE. Washington's Bookman in III Health and Locks Financial Support. WASHINGTON, November 6.—The announcement that Mr. John H. Wills, the bookman and proprietor of "The Literary Shop," at 506 11th street, N. W., is soon to close out his business will be unwelcome news to the lovers of rare books, and especially of books pertaining to the Afro-American people. Mr. Wills has conducted this store successfully for nearly twelve years and has sold rare books to millionaires and paupers alike. His shop is a storehouse for books and magazines which could be had nowhere else. Mr. Wills had little or no patronage from his own people, although he dealt largely in books relating to them. His retirement is due to ill-health and to lack of business support. ROCHESTER TO HONOR GARRISON BROOKSTER, November 6.—The J. C.

One of the largest Afro-American political meetings ever held in Greater New York was the closing rally on November 3 in Carnegie Hall of the United Colored Democracy of the borough of Manhattan and the Bronx. Upon the election of Edward B. Lee as chief the United Colored Democracy received a new impetus, he, with his characteristic force and energy, having the united support of the various colored district leaders. Lee at once began organizing meetings throughout Manhattan, the culmination of which was the monster rally in Carnegie Hall. Long before the time of opening, parade from Harlem districts headed by the First Amsterdam band and from the middle West Side districts began pouring toward Carnegie hall to the strains of Tammany. A banner offered to the Afro-American district leaders assuring out the largest number of men, brought about a spirit of intense rivalry. The banner was won by Walter E. Herbert of the 11th assembly district. At nine o'clock, to a crowded hall with the boxes full of ladies, J. Frank Wheaton in an eloquent speech outlined the merits of McClellan's administration and his services to the Afro-Americans in the official appointments he had made, and introduced Chief Edward E. Lee. In a brief and forcible speech Chief Lee thanked those present for their confidence in him shown by his overwhelming election and urged the voters to stand by Tammany hall in the election: Counselor James D. Carr furnished the principal speech of the evening, which was an exhaustive and eloquent review of the McClellan administration and what he had done and was doing for the Afro-Americans.

Ware, Anthony W. Brown, James D. Carr, Hugh McWintern, William H. Johnson, Henry E. Seaton, O. R. Johnson, John R. McNeel, Preston B. Bailey, Hartwell S. Green, Thomas W. Saunders, Edwin F. Horne, Silas Brown, Lewis E. Toppin, David Talbert, Samuel F. Singleton, Ralph E. Langston, William F. Foye, Walter Herbert, Burgis Holland, Frank R. Mann, Robert N. Wood, Walter Herbert, chairman, Edwin F. Horne, secretary. Mayor McClellan, who was to have been present, broke down from his whirlwind tour and sent his regrets with the hope that he might be able to address the Afro-American citizens at some future time. DIVIDED THEIR VOTE Afro-American Worked Hard for McClellan, Irving and Heart. The campaign just brought to a close Tuesday was the most unique ever held in New York city in its relation to the Afro-American vote. Never before in the history of an election in the Black Belt and other heavy Afro-American districts has the Afro-American been prominent in so many parties. Hearst badges were displayed and local politicians supported him because of J. Phelps Stokes' friendly attitude towards the Afro-American and Southern education. Jerome had dozens of Afro-American workers. The local Democratic leaders, and workers had strong Afro-American support for McCellan, with Democratic lodges galore, and a heavier Democratic Afro-American vote was polled in this election than in any two previous elections combined. Then, of course, there was the ever-present solid phalanx of the rock-ribbed G. O. P. hustlers and workers, who carried the Black Belt as usual, but by reduced majorities, for the Republican ticket.

KENTUCKY HONORS WALTERS BISHOP VISITS LOUISVILLE AND OLD HOME AT BARDSTOWN. Large Crowds Attend Him Wherever He Speaks—Imprising Addresses at Several Churches and Schools Dutight the People—His Home-coming at Bardstown a Great Event in That Town—He Finds the Race and the Afro-American Council Flourishing in the South. Regular Correspondence of THE AGR. LOUISVILLE, November 6.—Bishop Alexander Walters of Jersey City accompanied by his wife and young son, has been making a triumphal tour through the South. He arrived here last week and was given a very warm welcome and spoke at several of the churches to overflowing audiences. He was greatly pleased with his trip and had much to say about the prosperous condition of the race in the South, the flourishing condition of the A. M. B. Zion church and of the Afro-American Council, of which he is president. Louisville received him with a hospitality warm even for Kentucky, and Jeffersonville and New Albany, two Indiana towns which he visited, opened their hearts to him. The A. M. E. Zion church on Third avenue and Broadway was crowded on Sunday, October 29, to hear the bishop preach. His text was "Be not weary in well-doing; in due season ye shall reep." In the afternoon he delighted a large audience with an address to the Foreign Mission Society at the Jacob street tabernacle. By night the news of his presence in the city was largely circulated, with the result that an immense crowd turned out to hear him preach at the Fifteenth street church. On Monday morning he spoke on his Southern trip to the Louisville Ministers' Alliance, composed of representatives of all denominations. He discussed the President's trip South, disfranchisement, the work of the Afro-American Council and the progress of the A. M. E. Zion church. His address was cordially received and elicited a vote of thanks. On Monday night he preached at the New Albany A. M. E. Zion church on his visit to Europe and the Holy Land. His glowing word pictures of noted places and persons held his hearers spellbound. After the lecture he was tendered a dinner by Mr. R. W. Thompson, the well-known correspondent. On Tuesday morning the bishop, his family and THE AGE representative left Louisville for Bardstown, Ky. On their arrival they were given a 'coon sunner by Mrs. Amanda Muir. At night white, and black people thronged St. John's A. M. E. church to hear the bishop, who was a Bardstown box, as his wife was a Bardstown girl. He spoke with pleasure of the great improvement noticeable, since his last visit several years ago, in the churches, schools and homes of the people. His sermon was greatly praised by his hearers. Afterward a large number of people united on him to congratulate him on his success in the ministry. He has risen from a plough-boy to be the best known Afro-American prelate, a bishop of the A. M. E. Zion connection and the president of the Afro-American Council. On the next day the bishop was driven through Bardstown and the surrounding country; and at night he spoke on "The Holy Land." A welcome address was delivered by Rev. L. G. Jordan, who was answered by Rev. Reeves of Louisville. Excellent music was rendered under the direction of Miss Narcissa Muir. After the address he biggest reception ever given on college campus bishop. Friends came from miles around to do him honor. He is one prophet who has honor in his own country. On Thursday the party returned to Louisville and on Friday the bishop visited the Central high school and addressed 500 students, under the principalship of Prof. Daniel Lawson. He instructed the pupils in high ideals of living and urged that more educated young men enter the ministry. He then went to the California school, where he was warmly welcomed by Miss DeValle and told the students to believe that they can do what others have done and encouraged them to join the ministry. Other speakers were Editor William H. Stoward, Rev. White, the Georgia Baptist Man, and Mr. C. B. Lewis. The party left in the evening for Henderson, Ky., where they will spend several days, after which the bishop will return to Jersey City. WEDDED IN BOSTON. New Yorker Wins 'n Bride From the Hub.

Marshalling the Pursuit of Freedom, and the Mighty Freedom They Stirred Up —Dinahen in the Heart of the Coura- t—Hearty Lynch by a Boston Mob—Final Triumph of His Prif- pion—Trifecta of John Height and John Stewart Hill. Bostox, November 6.—Martin Luther's "Here I take my stand" was not braver than the "I will be heard" of William Lloyd Garrison. It did not seem within the range of human probability that a young man without representation, without influence, without social or political connections, without money and standing, alone would ever be able to make good those undarions and sublime words. But this the young reformer did actually do within a few months only after he had uttered them. Within a few months the whole country, North and South alike, was talking on the subject of slavery and The Liberator. Almost at once proofs came to Garrison that he was heard by the people of the North and by the people of the South. There were snarling criticisms from New England editors, animadvertising on his "violent and intemperate attacks on slaveholders"; savage growls from the South against The Liberator as a "scandalous and incendiary budget of sedition." Letters breathing violence against him reached the office of The Liberator from the South. Southern grand juries indicted the editor, steps were taken by at least one Southern Governor looking to the extradition of the reformer, while the Legislature of Georgia offered a reward of $5000 for his apprehension and conviction. Within one year from the first issue of The Liberator the whole country had heard this champion of the slave. At this grave crisis in their history in this country, it may be well for the colored people to mark carefully the means employed by Garrisonian abolitionism in its struggle with the evil of slavery more than seventy years ago. These means — patriotism to oppress on the subject of slavery; second, the printing and circulation of anti-slavery literature; and third, the anti-slavery agent or lecturer who went up and down through the free States gathering facts and preaching the gospel of freedom. Such were the simple means which became in the hands of the anti-slavery society that unquipped machines that unbounded public opinion, and through which they produced moral and political results revolutionary and prodigious. In September 1834, the reformer received the greatest individual help which ever came to him during his life, when he was united in marriage to Miss Helen Eliza Ponson, daughter of George Benson, a vegetable philanthropist of Rochester. She was inedible, a rare woman, sufficiently well known, and the wife of such a man. And he modernized, if ever a man did need it, a home such as Mrs. Garrison made for him, in which to find refuge from the storm of hate and persecution which was then bearing with increasing fury upon his devoted head. For the rapid spread of the slavery agitation alarmed and enraged the Southern alarm, also the North. And when the former demanded of the latter its suppression, forebode suppression of the agitators was thereon attempted throughout the free States. The instrument employed for this purpose was the moth. Moth broke out in one State and then in another. From Vermont to Illinois, the Northern people quotidied flicker by flicker, popular inundations of violence which overthrew for the name the freedom of assembly, the freedom of the press, and the right of free speech on the subject of slavery. The hated abolitionists possessed then no rights, either personal or property, which the rest of the Nation felt bound to respect. All was ruthlessly attacked as in the same Hall in Philadelphia, the destruction of James G. Bittner's press in Cincinnati, and the murder of Elijah P. Leavening at Alton, Ill. Mr. Garrison was attacked by this with a spirit of the times, and escaped barely with his life in the city of Boston itself. He had invited his friend George Thompson, the famous English rebellionist and orator, to assist the movement against slavery in America. And Thompson had crossed the water for that purpose, and was condemning all to the agitation with an arrogant objection. This interference of the States fired the domestic police of the city against him. He was engaged to address the Boston Female Anti-Slavery Society on October 21, 1857; but his danger, was so great that he was advised to leave the city instead. Garrison agreed to take his place, and upon his head the wrath of the broadhead mob broke that day with terrific violence. He was hunted from one building to another, and was at last seized and dragged through the streets with a rope about his neck. After the terrible struggle he was rescued by the clutches of the mob and taken into the City Hall, where he was spirited by a ruse, and he was thrilling mischief by the mob, and was committed to Lovett's arrest jail, as the only place in the city which was able to afford him protection from his enemies. Throughout these years of mob violence and martyrdom the prophet did not finish, or falter, or retreat a single inch from the position which he had taken. The first of pro-slavery prosecution could not harm out of his breast the love of his followmen, albeit they were slaves, nor since the single guideline purpose of his unconquerable will. The South and a heavy price upon his head one day, but the next be farcled it with the same storm and unfortunate message of justify. Boston method him one week, but the next he congratulated her as before, the same grand and commanding man of God. From 1855 to 1869 the history of the moral resistance against slavery in America is the history of this one man and the great condemners like Woodel Phillips Theodore D. Weld, Parker Pillarsbury, Fredrick Douglas, Theodore Parker, Frederick Lyman, Stephen and Abby, Kelly Foster, the Grimke, Samuel E Newall, Ellis Gray Loving, Maria Weston Chapman, David Lydia and Lydia Maria Child, Francis Jackson, Samuel J. May, Samuel May, Edmund Quincy, Henry I. and William I. Bowdish, Lucy Stone. It was Garrison who made Abraham Lincoln possible, and it was his principles of freedom which finally triumphed in the war, and penned by hand of the great President the emancipation Proclamation. Throughout the great abolitionist supported with all his might the cause of the Union, and held part of the honor of Lincoln. And when the war closed Lincoln, recognizing the supreme party, Garrison had played in the slavery struggle, invited him to be present with his old friend George Thompson as guests of the newly restored Union at the reraising of the Nation's flag over Fort Sumter. Well does the writer recall Garrison's visit to Charleston at that time, he addressed the colored people in their parish meetings, and how they in turn poured in his feet such manifestations of love and gratitude as have rarely crowned the labors of a reformer. The world service of these labors for humanity was fully recognized on the occasion of Mr. Garrison's visit to England in 1877. At a notable breakfast given in London in his honor, and which attended by many illustrious men, John Hancock presided, after referring to our Civil War, a remarked that "probably history has no sadder, and yet, if we take a different man, I may say also, probably no brighter page. To Mr. Garrison more than any other man this is due. His is the creation of that opinion which has made Slavery hateful, and which has made freedom possible in America. His name is venerated in his country venerated where not long ago it was a place of oblivious and reproach. His name is venerated in this country and in Europe whereon Christianity softens the hearts and lessons the sorrows of men." But John Stuart Mill's remarks were the speech of the occasion. He sound lawy. found two lessons in Mr. Garrison's life. The first lesson is: Aim at all thing great; at things which are difficult (and there is no great thing which is not difficult). Do not pare-down your under- taking to what you can hope to see suc- cessful in the next few years, or in the years of your own life. The other lesson which it appears to me important to inform, among the many that may be drawn from our friend's life, is this: If you have something noble, and succeed in it, you will generally find that you have succeeded not that alone. A hund- dred other good and bad things which you never dreamed of will be once complied by the way, and the re- certainly, the sharper and more agon- citely has been the struggle which prevailed the victory. This, then, is an additional item of the debt which Ameri- cans and mankind owe to Mr. Garrison and his noble associates; and it is well calculated to deepen our sense of the tooth which his whole career most strik- ingly illustrates: that though our best- desired efforts may often seem wasted and lost, nothing coming of them that are pointed to and distinctly identified as a destiny can to humanity; though this may happen past-six times in every hundred, the hundred time the result may be so great and amazing that we had never dated to hope and should have regarded him who had and did it to us as singing beyond the bounds of mental sanity. So has it been with Mr. Garrison." Garrison's abolitionism went the whole length of the humanity of the colored race, and all that that implies in a color-prejudice ridden in country like this. The poorest or most ignorant of them, whether bound or free, were his brothers and sisters. Upon first to last he regarded them as bosses of his bone and then of his blood, as children with him from Father. He never looked down on them, in any essential resist the manhood which was his. To him they were men and women tabled to freedom, entitled besides in equality of civil and political rights in the State, equality and freedom in the church, equality and feature in every where, North and South alike. This is the doctrine which he practiced. In not a single instance was he ever found separating himself on account of race from his brother in black. He drew no color in public, he drew more in private, than far, but no farther not even socially. He went into their homes and was in all things with them; and they went into his life like manner. He forgot that he was white, forgot that they were black, forgot the pride of race, forgot the stigma of race is the tie of burned kinship and mood, which bound him insofar to them. If he possessed what they did not have; viz., the chance of a man in society, the rights of a citizen in the country, the equality of a brother in the family, did not make him feel himself better than that filled him with indignation with indignation sympathy with done them, with passionate sympathy with a burning desire to make his own rights and opportunities the full measure of theirs. As he lived and loved and labored, so he died, true to the great principles of liberty, justice and human brotherhood. Indeed, his last written word to the public was in defense of the freedom and citizenship of the colored people of the South against the violent hostility of that section toward them. With dying breath he blow a last trumpet blast for "liberty and equal rights for each, for all, and forever, wherever the lot of man is cast within our broad domains." And on May 24, 1879, the then aged prophet and friend of man was gathered to his fathers at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Henry Villard, in New York. "Men of a thousand shifts and wiles, look here! See on the shirts." See one straightforward conscience put in pawn To win a world; see the ollidian sphere. By bravery's simple gravitation drawn.

Regular Correspondence of The Ann. CHICAGO, Ill., November 6.—The National Baptist convention has come and gone. As compared to other National conventions, the Chicago meeting was not so largely attended., It is estimated that only about 3,000 delegates were enrolled, although there was not a State in the Union unrepresented. The meetings were largely attended and much was said that was worth hearing and that must result in a greater impetus toward social betterment. To the uninitiated, there seemed to be two conventions going on at the same time, but in different parts of the city. The Baptist men and women were united in spirit, though separated in their meetings. Some of the men had a good deal to say in the women's meetings, but little opportunity was given the women to say much in the men's meetings. It can be said, however, that the Chicago convention was in the malp harmonious and interesting characters in the Baptist household. They make a big exhibit of things done for the good of humanity the world over. They have the largest membership, the largest churches and the largest publishing houses of any Negro religious organization in America. The men and women who have created all this seem to be progressive and fully conscious of the responsibilities that these activities and organizations entail. Both men and women seem to have a firm and intelligent grasp on every detail of this great work. The women side of this Chicago convention was by no means the small end of the joint gathering. It was surprising to every one to see so many women of the highly intelligent and progressive type. It would be impracticable to name them all. Miss Nannie Burroughs, however, is worthy of special mention. This young Afro-American woman would be a credit to any race of women. She has character, intellect, force and graciousness of man. She is deeply in earnest and uncompromising for the right and the good. She is faithful and much honored by the Baptists, and much deserves it all. In her report to the men's meeting, she roused the assembled musculature with a high pitch of enthusiasm when she reported that women had during the past year raised $11,000 for the cause of missions. There was a great chorus of amens and thank Gods. The incompatible feature of the convention was the appearance and address of Dr. Booker T. Washington. When he reached the First regiment armory on Saturday night there were fully 5,000 people awaiting him. His appearance was the signal for an overwhelming demonstration. The vast audience rose in mourn and with handkerchiefs and other things gave him a welcome never-to-beforegone. While Dr. Washington always put himself there, there was something unusual in intensity and spontaneity of this Baptist greeting. It was as if his people were hearing the burden of indignities and anxiety by recent ugly demonstrations against him in the South and wanted to assure him of their support and protection. The address was fully up to Dr. Washington's best efforts. A more fitting address to this particular people and occasion could scarcely have been made. With great frankness and force he spoke of the different ways by which men and races pass from weakness to strength, from contempt to honor and from dependence to independence. At the conclusion of his speech the great audience surged up to the platform, almost at home, he was kept busy with a skiffing 'Mr. T. Thomas Fortune of New York and Mr. Cox accompanied Dr. Washington to the city. On Sunday afternoon Mr. Washington delivered another address to the missionary section of the convention in the First argument armory. Here the crowd was almost as large as that of the previous evening and was listened to as eagerly as if he had not spoken to them on the previous evening. He strongly commanded these Baptists for their enterprise in being able to carry on such an extensive work at home, and at the same time extend such a bountiful hand of helpfulness to the unmistakible brothers in Africa. On Monday, Dr. Washington, accompanied by Mr. Fortune, Mr. Manning of Indianapolis and Mr. S. Laing Williams visited Zion City, Dr. Washington and his party were given the freedom of the city. All places were open to them affording a study of the large factory, printing house, candy factory, the tabernacle, Zion college, Elijah Hospices and places of interest. Every attention and interest shown the visitors by the tabular fellow of Dr. Dawley. They expressed a determination to have Dr. Washington address the multitude in the tabernacle when he could arrange to do so. Among the distinguished visitors to the city during the Baptist convention week were: Mr. J. Max Barber of Atlanta, editor of The Voice of the Necro, and Mr. George Jackson of Cincinnati, Ohio. Both gentlemen were the recipients of much social attention. Mr. Barber delivered a forceful address on "The Sovereign of the Seafar" before the Fredrick Douglas Fraternity, Mr. William H. Stewart of Louisiana, K. chancellor, the executive committee of the Afro-American Council and editor of The American Baptist, was also in the city. Mrs. Daniel H. Williams of this city is visiting her many friends in the city of Washington. This is Mrs. Williams' first visit to her old home since her marriage, where a warm and hearty welcome awaits her. A department of cities has been organized concession with the Donglass center. The department is to teach and promote citizenship, for young men will have the opportunity in this department to hear some of the ablest students of the rights and duties of citizenship. During his recent visit to this city Dr. Washington visited The Houghton center and paid his respects to Mrs. Colin Parker Woolley, its founder. He expressed himself as being in hearty sympathy with the movement and believes that it is destined to do a great and uplifting work amongst us. MATHEMATICAL PRODIGY From The Austin (Tex.) Watchman, a genuine mathematical marvel recently discovered at Union, S. C., is an 18-years old Negro day inborn lore named Illu. He is rather tall, slightly built, jet black and has been to school but little. He atamuners considerably and appears half crazy, on every subject except mathematics. The rapidity, and acumen with which he solves the most difficult problems according. As an example, he was yesterday asked if a man were 28 years old on Sunday. He how many minutes had been spent on the correct mental effort are the correct results, as the figures were on the millibars. Maths-cal- cations were promptly and correctly. At Haleigh Commissioner Watson expects to take up the status of the Negro on a new line. He has just completed a line of statistics, which, he thinks, mean much. These statistics make the surprising showing that in South Carolina there is only 1,140 of a Negro laborer to the farm, including both male and female, and that North Carolina is even in a worse condition, having only 40 of a Negro laborer to the farm. The figures show also that there are very nearly 10,000 Negro farm owners in South Carolina, and nearly 18,000 in North Carolina, and that 55,100 cont. of the farms in South Carolina are operated by Negroes working on their own occup It also shows that the Negro population of school age is availing itself of the opportunity for education at a pace almost equal to that of the whites. It also shows that the generation of Negroes in North Carolina and South Carolina is more older than States; that it is that the average more than 12 years old in this State, and only 11 in North Carolina. It also shows that the decrease of illiteracy among the Negro population has been between 11 and 12 per cent. in the last decade. His figures demonstrate that the birth rate has been practically the same for all races in the last decade, but that there has been a steady decrease in the number of births in both races in the last two decades. One of the most significant facts is that in both the Carolinas the death rate of Negroes below 25 years of age is more than double that of the whites, and between the age of 35 and 44 it is nearly double. These figures will be used by Mr. Watson to show that the rising generation is educated, and is consequently leaving the farms as a laborer, becoming on the one hand a farm owner, or going into other pursuits, and on the other in moving fast as possible to the North and East. When the birth and death rate shows that the North is not keeping pace with the survivors of the white race, and that, all things considered, the figures bring a full realization of the actual conditions which are causing the oft-repeated cries for agricultural labor, and point to the fact that this State must have quickly a type of white labor that will supply the deficiency. FAITHFUL CHOIRS REWARDED. Touro Chapel Gives Them Reception for Their Good Work. NEWPORT, R. K, November 6.—To show their appreciation of the two choirs of Touro chapel the minister of that church on Friday evening gave a reception to the members of the junior and senior choirs.

This city has begun to feel the effects of the coming winter. Already a large number of the cottages have closed and put on their winter dress. Our people, too, are fast leaving us for warmer parts and on every boat we see some of our summer friends going Miss Betty Spence has closed her cottage at 12 Bath road for the season and will go to Baltimore. The baptized dinner given at Shiloh Baptist church last week was reported as being the best served this season by the ladies. This was under the direction of the Mother's club of the church. After the supper a musical program was reminiscent of the chair assisted by Mrs. Lafayette. The baskets and boxes that were given out to the mothers and friends of the club to be made into work boxes were brought in and sold. Some were beautifully trimmed. Friday morning to Mr. and Mrs. George Borden of Fillingham street was born a son.

They were clock well-groomed and very prosperous looking. While waiting for the train to leave they began to discuss the amount of spending change their respective congregations had given them. One had been given one hundred and thirty dollars, another carried a neat roll which totalled one hundred even dollars, another had thirty and not a man in the party had less than fifty dollars over and above a railroad fare. Aside from the money each wore a high-pitched tailor-made suit of clothes and carried a good overcoat on his arm. There were other good clothes in each suit case and trunk. The trip was to take about six days all. It developed, in the course of the con- versation, that one of the preachers was paid salary of one hundred and fifteen dollars per month while the others ranged onward and none received less than twelve. Each one was presented with a new set of clothes twice each year, not in unnumberable "surprise possessions" that brought flour, meal, meat and other necessaries and luxuries. The Southern Afro-American believes in his preacher and takes care of him, and nothing affords the congregation greater than to see their pastor dressed and looking well. It is a general opinion that he should be well as any other congregation's preacher and care is taken to see that Deacon and class-leaders may work rigidly suits, but the pastor will have the tailor to take his to measure. The ordinary visitor may sit down and be fed with corn-bread, liver, and "holland" greens, but it is an unwritten law that where the preacher there must be chicken, hot biscuits, bread and some kind of dessert on the table. Indeed no good housewife could think of inviting her minister with less than this on it, and with the chicken she would be embarrassed almost beyond utterance. She would run the risk of being criticised by the neighbors who sooner or later would burn of the horrid and unheard Moreover it would always haunt her a nightmare from which she escaped, so deep rooted is the situation that nothing will satiate the hunger so well as the legs and the succulent fowl. The situation is everywhere the recognized in the race. This opinion is shared by Afro-Americans but by white well. His qualification for leadership is based on the fact that it is his privilege to come into contact with number of the race and on the other fact that he is in a position to advise from the pulpit. Whenever matters that affected both races were under discussion and there was need of understanding, it has been the governor who was called in for conferencing. Whenever the questions of voting for against the sale of whisky or for municipal bonds were to be referred to the officers, the ministers have been asked to advise the people. They have generally been found on the safe and right side of such questions, be it to their credit. Some months ago, representative of a Chicago newspaper, wrote South for the purpose of writing instructions, made the statement that American preachers were genius as corrupters of the female of the race and especially, he this true in the country this Nothing could be been done It is only isolated that anything of the kind is and when a preacher is known he is very generally black. There is no doubt that the female are the greatest support of the they are of the church.

New York Ann. has returned from the South, where he went to meet Negro financiers of that section to form plane for the establishment of a central trust company, or clearing house, to do a general banking business, and to establish a chain of banks in the South controlled and managed by colored men. This meeting was to be held at. Louisville, but the prevalence of yellow fever in some of the Southern States prevented the attendance of several of those favoring the project and the meeting will be called for a later date. Mr. Fortune is the originator of the plan, and some time ago he sent out the plan, and some time ago he decrees of importance in the future to express his views in the South, and to some in the North; After a careful consideration of the site's needs, consultation with thoughtful men of the race is required to move for the incorporation of the Afro-African Co., to be capitalized at $300,000, $50 per share, to do a general banking establishment, the main purpose being to establish and maintain a chain of banks in the large cities of the South. Established banks are requested to issue upon such terms as may be hereafter instituted, upon appo, at the first meeting of the incorporation. You are requested to become one of the inventors of voting incorporator inform one share of the company. The first meeting of the incorporators will be place at Louisville, Ky., October 26, 2014. The order as to time and place by the incorporators are requested to register their vote in the matter in reply to this jetter. At this meeting of the incorporators the officers will be meeting the government of the trust adopted, and location of headquarters of the trust decided upon. The following persons have consented to act as incorporators of the company, each being a prominent man in his community: Charles Banks, Bank of Mound Bayon, Mound Bayon, Miss., J. C. Napier, One Cent, Napier, Miss., Fred. R. Moore, president Afro-American Louis Investment Co., New York; Frederick A. Investment Co., New York; William H. Steward, publisher American Impulse; ville, Ky.; W. T. Andrews, insurance and camps, Sumter, C.; Theophilus J. Minton, Minton, C.; The Terrell, cill律师, W. Shilton, H. C. "There are at present 13 banks in the South owned and operated by men of my race," said Mr. Fortune. "Of these three are at Richmond, Va., two at Jacksonville, Fla., and one each at Savannah, Gwinnett, Ala., Nashville, Teenu, Mound Ridge, Miss., Greenville, Miss, Nateche, Miss, and Little Rock, Ark. These institutions are conservatively managed and are successful, and they have been of great benefit not only to the Negro business men, but to the colored people there generally. "Mostly, I am in favor of locating this treasure, I am not yet but there are others of the incorporators who favor Louisville which is, of course, more central. "I believe such an institution as I have suggested would be a success in a financial way and make money for those immediately interested, as well as secure benefits and accommodations for Negro officers and accommodations for Negro they cannot at all times get what they want from the white men by white men. How many new banks are started in the South I cannot say; there are many details to be worked out at the forthcoming meeting at Louisville. "The men behind this plan believe that in the South exists a large hold for banking and trust company operations solely among the Negroes which is not covered except, although last year the Negro banks did a business of nearly $11,000,000." $17.40 FROM SUNDAY SCHOOL RALLY.

Buttissers, November 5—King Leopold's commission of Belgian, Italian and Swiss publicists, which for fifteen months has been inquiring into the atrocities perpetrated in the Congo Free State, spent much time on charges that natives had been maimed. Missionaries and natives testified that they had seen baskets containing a score of severed hands. The Rev. Mr. Clark saw a number of such hands which seemed to have been smoked. Some mutilated natives appeared before the investigators. The commission's report points out that mutilation of their bodies is an ancient native custom, and that all beaten and presented were attributable to natives. The commission had no testimony to show that whites had been guilty of mutilation. The report calls the methods of enforcing the taxes harsh, and condemns holding women as hostages until taxes are paid, but attributes these customs largely to the harshness of the native chiefs. The placing of sentinel overseers over native workers is condemned. Despite the State prohibition the report commends commercial emigrants out military expeditions, causing grave injuries. But on the whole the commission finds that Congo is far better off than it was. It says: "Security reigns today in a country which twenty-five years ago was plumaged in harbidity, plundered by Arab tribes and streamed with markets for human flesh. The slave trade has disappeared, cannibalism seeks fiding and human sacrifice has become rare. Villages have sprung up, railroads have been constructed to the head of the equatorial forests, steamer navigate the rivers, the post and telegraph operate, hospitals have been established and governmental administration proceeds effectively in that vast territory." King Leopold has appointed a committee to devise means of carrying out the commission's recommendations. NEW HAVEN, November 6.—The handsome new edition of St. Lukes's P. R. church on Whalley avenue, between Sperry and Garden street, was commemorated last Tuesday, October 31, at 10:30 a.m., before a congregation of over five hundred people. Long before the services began the soars were all taken and the incoming people gathered in the aisles seeking vantage points to see the impressive ceremony. At 10.30 on the east side of the church the choir emerged from the roiling room followed by a long line of clergy of this city, other cities and surrounding towns, and by the Rt. Rev. Clauncey B. Brewster, bishop of the diocese, and passed down the path to the front entrance of the church. Here the choir and clergy formed an arch through which the bishop passed to the vestibule of the church, where he rapped three times at the double doors, saying at the same time, "in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Ghost." The doors were opened by the wardens, who, with the vestrymen preceded the bishop up the middle aisle to the chancel, the bishop reading the beautiful consecration service. Senior Warden J. W. Stewart read the donation and Rev. William Bardaley, rector of St. Thomas' church, read the acceptance. These documents were turned over to the bishop. After this service Rev. H. C. Bishon, rector of St. Phillip's church of New York city, conducted morning prayer, assisted by Rev. McDuffy of Jamaica, L. L. and D. F. W. Baker, who read sons. After this service Rev. Eugene L. Henderson, rector, presented a clam of fifteen, who were confirmed by the bishop. Then followed the communion service, with Arch Deacon Buck, epistler; Dr. E. M. Morgan, rector of Christ church, apologized by Rev. Brower water celebrant, assisted by Rev. L. Perry, rector of St. Paul's church, and Rector Henderson, Rev. H. L. Phillipse, rector of Church of the Crucifixion, Philadelphia, preached the sermon. The bishop also spoke felicitously of the beautiful church cellios and heartily congratulated the parish on its success. The chanting of spirit was excellent and was under the direction of Organist W. A. Perry, Yale 07. The altar was beautifully decorated with flowers. After the conclusion of the services luncheon was served in Christ church parish house, Dr. Morgan, rector of Christ church, welcomed the guests and the bishop was master of ceremonies. Brief addresses were made by Mr. S. T. Doughlass, the oldest vestryman; Mr. C. H. Phillips, vestryman; Prof. E. H. A. Bouchet, Rev. J. W. Davis, pastor of Zion church; Rev. Dr. A. C. Powell, pastor of Immunnel Baptist church; Rev. H. L. Phillips of Philadelphia; Rev. H. C. Bishop of New York; Rev. Mr. John of New Jersey, and Hon. A. P. B. Holly, M. D., son of Bishop Holly of Hutchinson, former pastor of the church. The late Miss Betsey Roberts to the church, of which she was a long and devoted member, was used to purchase the building lot, and a table has been placed on the walls of the church commemorating her presence. $18,000 of the money with which the church was erected is the gift of Mrs. Lucy H. Boardman (white) and another tablet has been placed on the walls commemorating her philanthropy. The $2,000 organ is the gift of Mr. E. P. Dickie (white) of Guilford, Conn. The altar is the gift of the Ladies' Aid society of the church and the altar books of the church. Mrs Josephine E. S. Porter of Hartford. She is the mother of the late John Addison Porter who secretary to President McKinley. The bishop's chair was presented by the Woman's auxiliary of the church in memory of the late Willis E. Miller, a friend of the parish. The balance of the money was raised through the medium of subscriptions and contributions among the members and friends. The total cost of the church which finished was $25,000, which was paid in full before the conservation took place. The new church is generally said to be one of the handsome structures in New England. It is on a lot measuring 48x155 feet. The exterior is of brick with terra cotta trimming, while on the interior buff brick is used instead of plaster. windows are of cathodal glass with light-colored surfaces, with the exception of the three windows, one of which contains a life-size window, one of which contains a life-size window, one of which contains a life-size window, on the west side of the church. The roof is one central front entrance which leads into a vestibule, which in turn has three entrances into the auditorium. At either end of the vestibule are stairs leading to the frontment. The nave is 68x28 feet and has a garting capacity of 2000 square feet and thirty. The chancel is 2000 square feet and is located in the height of twelfes feet for a rear and rear, with yellow binnacle and stained oak. The other woodwork in the building is of the same wood: On the right of the chained are two cloir rooms connected with folding doors, and on the left is the space for the organ and the rooster vestry room. These two rooms are covered with a slate roof, and the square tower has an altitude of 69 feet. Rector Eugene L. Henderson has spared neither time nor pain in the presentation of the work of the new church. His landable undertaking and his successful consumption of it should receive the highest commendation from every member of the parish. He had from the beginning a hearty cooperation of building committee, soliciting aid and woman's auxiliary, and last but not least, of the members and friends of the parish. St. Luke's church was founded in 1814 and the congregation worshiped in a building on Gregson street. In 1852 the church in Park street was purchased, where they worshiped until a year ago when they sold it to the Swedish M. E. Congregation. The congregation then worked in Trinity chapel on George street until the completion of the new church. PETERSBURG SCHOOL APPEALS. Trachnes Domestic Training, and Needs Enlarged Facilities. Rev. J. G. Harris, pastor of the Central Presbyterian church of Petersburg, Va., was in the city last week in the interest of the Petersburg domestic training school, of which he is president and soliciting agent. This institution is undemonstrational, and broad and far teaching in its purposes. The present building, which is rented, has already become inadequate for the accommodation of the applicants for admission. The school now has 48 pupils with two teachers, but the work is hampered by the lack of proper building, tools and materials. Mr. Harris brought with him strong endowments of his work from the city officials and prominent citizens of Petersburg. The institution was also endorsed by the Presbyterian Council which met at Englewood, N. J., a few weeks ago. To our already large assortment of Furniture, Carpets, etc., we have just added a complete line of Gentlemen's Clothing. Our stores are the largest of their kind on the West Side and justly popular for Prompt Deliveries, Liberal Credit and Square Dealings. 603-605-607-609-611-613 NINTH AVE., COR. OF 43d ST.

The elections last Tuesday were notable for the amount of independent voting all along the line, even in Maryland and Virginia, amounting to a violent reaction. In most cases, from the phenomenal vote cast for the Republican candidates in the Presidential election last year. This was notably true in Massachusetts, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Ohio, where the Republican party lost heavily in municipal and State contents. In the large cities, where a square issue was made against Boss Rule, the alleged reformers had signal success in New York, Newark, Philadelphia and Cincinnati. It is probable that the Democrats have carried Ohio, and in Cincinnati, where George B. Cox has been the Republican leader, the Democrats swept the board, in so far that Mr. Cox has announced his retirement from politics. This is a clear victory for Secretary W. H. Taft, who advised Republicans to knife the Cox machine. In Maryland the disfranchisement amendment has been defeated, according to latest reports as we go to press and it is probable that the Gorman Democratic machine has been whipped or seriously damaged. It is hoped that this may prove true in the final count. In New York city the Republican candidate ran third, hearst second and McCelian a weak up. The Tammany Tiger got a bad shake up. William Randolph Hearst claims his election as Mayor, and the contest will have to be determined by the official count. William Travers Jerome was the star candidate in the New York city election. Without party endorsement whatever he made the race for District Attorney and beat the field with 10,000 votes to spare. All in all it was a bad day for the Republican party and for all sorts of political losses. Personal liberty in the South. Personal liberty in the Southern States is so far controlled by legislation on the one hand and by public sentiment on the other that a man, black or white, is in doubt at every turn to determine how to act in any given situation. The Southwestern Christian Adrotocase has the following to say, of one phase of this matter: A well-to-door Negro in a certain section of the South recently bought an automobile, but he was promptly waited upon and told that that town would not permit a Negro riding in an automobile. He was ordered to return the machine, and this resulted in a penalty that is unimportant. This reminder of the fact that there is a section of the country where Negroes are not allowed to carry hoisted umbrellas, and still another section where top buggies are not permitted to be used by Negroes. In infringement upon the rights of black men necessarily leads to infringement upon those of white men. How long this thing will be tolerated by both sides to it need not be considered now, but that it must come to an end is very plain to those familiar with the odious condition. Russian Autocracy Shaken. The Czar of all the Russians has had enough troubles since he came to the throne to shatter the nerves of an iron man, and there have been plenty of signs in the past three years that his have been greatly shaken. The war with Japan, in which Russia won not one victory on land or sea, was waged with a constant show of discontent and disorders throughout the empire, and these increased in extent and violence after the conclusion of peace by the treaty of Portsmouth. The people of Russia clamored for a more liberal form of government, but the autocrat appeared not disposed to give them what they wanted. After much halting of opinion the Czar appears to have yielded. The Russian people have been promised constitutional government, and Count Witte has been entrusted with the herculean task of fetching order of the confusion and of satisfying the demands of the people. Many claim that the concessions have been made too late to pacify the discontent of the Russian people. It is to be hoped that this is not the case, but that the people will grasp the opportunity offered to them to reconstruct their government upon broad principles which will ensure to them for all time the largest measure of freedom. If any living Russian can help them to this consummation Count Witte is the man. The Haytian Mission and Other Appointments The displacement of William F. Powell as Energy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary to Hayti and the appointment of Consul Henry W. Furnish to succeed him were happenings which were not expected by any one, not even by the President himself, as he stated positively to Senator Kean and Senator Dryden and to Mr. Powell very recently that he would not recall the latter. Not two months ago Mr. Powell had stated for the hundredth time that he would not resign. But right in the midst of the President's arrangements for his Southern trip Mr. Powell was recalled and Mr. Furnish was appointed to succeed him. Why, then, such sudden reversal of decision and precipitation to fill the vacancy? We do not understand that Mr. Furnish had been considered for the pledge at all; on the contrary, when we were named the president of the office, and gave to us an idea for his office. Mr. Purinia de moved Mr. Bacchini, and he was the last man we had identified of heisman of his youth and the influential service he has been able to render the Republican party, and because it has not been usual to make Mervis, Hartmeyer and Minister Flintpostillary out of ordinary Consul, with no prior basis in party service. It is very evident that President Reovelt followed his own head in selecting Mr. Purinia, and it is probable that he will do the same thing in designating the successors of Register J. W. Lyons of the Treasury Department and his assistant, Mr. C. F. Adams, Recorder of Deeds John C. Dancy, and the other baker's dozen of Afro-American Presidential appointees who have come over from the McKinley administration, who may be called upon to step down and out between now and March 1 next when a general shake-up of hold-overs has been blunted at by the wise ones. Humor has it also that a white man will be appointed to succeed Mr. Furnas as Counsel to Bahia. And this reminds us that John Temple Graves made much of the fact in his *Atlanta Evening News* that President Roosevelt has appointed fewer Afro-Americans to office than any of his predecessors; he could have added also that he has, as an offset, appointed more Southern Democrats than any of his predecessors. Why? Black votes have lost their political value. Why? President Roosevelt and the South The Richmond Planet, a newspaper not given to hysteria, however great the provocation, voices the sentiment of a large section of the Afro-American press of dissatisfaction with President Roosevelt's Southern trip. The basis of complaint is that the ostenable object of President Roosevelt's recent visit to the Southern States is to make himself better known to and esteemed by the white South; that he was inaccessible to the black South except in one or two instances—at Jacksonville, at Tuskegee, at New Orleans—that in his addresses he scrupulously erased reference to any subject which would irritate the white South, dodging as a fencer the vast and dangerous body of class legislation of which disfranchisement and separation laws of all sorts, but especially those bearing on public carriers, are the most glaring and oppressive—touching only upon the lynching evil as a sore spot, an evil which damages the whole South rather than any ethnic division of it. The indictment is correct. President Roosevelt did not go South to see his black friends, but his white enemies; not to please his black allies, but to win over his white opponents; not to make votes in the Senate and House of Representatives among his black partisans as they have no such votes to be influenced one way or the other, but among his white partisan foes, who have robbed his black partisans of the ballot by murder, fraud and nullification of the guarantees of the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments to the Federal Constitution. This is an uninvaded statement of the facts. Did President Roosevelt succeed in the task he set himself? We think so. The disgusted an old black Republican at Atlanta, thought so, as he turned away from thirruptions of the white South, with the lactic exclamation: "De wite folke done tek bur own Precerdent fum uu!" Clark Howell of The Atlanta Constitution and Henry Watterson of The Louisville Courier-Journal and other high priests of the white South, think even so. Indeed, one frzenized white Southerner split the air with the yell: "The Democrats must nominate Roosevelt for President in 1900!" And what will be the outcome, for woe or wreak, to the black South? In an interview in The Chicago Daily Chronicle Dr. Booker T. Washington says: "It is not only in the visit to Tuskegee that is merely an incident. His visit everywhere has tended not only to beat down sectional lines but racial hatreds as well. His visit has done more to lay the ghost of racialism than any amount of pamphletering or so-called educational campaigns. His work will relieve the acuteness of the race issue in the South. The South is the region of sentiment and by around a new and hitherto unknown sentimentality in all inhabitants of that section I do not heatiate to say that he was conquered upon the entire country one of the greatest boons of his great administration." We cannot see it in this way. We believe now as we we did before the visit was made, that no good will come of it to the black South. As in the notorious instance of President McKinley's visit to the South, it will draw the white South and the white North and West closer and closer together and leave the black South to tread the wine press of wrong and outrage alone more than ever. With the mangleled and bleeding civil and political rights, of the black South left to the brutal, cold-blooded keeping of the white South, as has become the case, a new and imperative duty is laid upon thoughtful Afro-Americans everywhere—the duty of self-dependence based in wise thinking and voting. Dr. Washington in the Baptist Convention. The National Baptist convention which met in Chicago last week, contained more than two thousand delegates representing a constituency of two million people. We have not looked upon a finer body of men in the past twenty-five years. Dr. Booker T. Washington addressed the convention Saturday evening, October 28. The First regiment army contained an audience which, as the writer looked out over it, it seemed impossible to number. And when it lifted up its voice in applause the noise of it was as the roar of many waters. The Chicago Daily Chronicle, on Sunday morning, gave the following report of the reception given Dr. Washington: "Mr. Washington arrived in the city at 5 o'clock yesterday afternoon and was driven at once to the Palmer house. At 6:20 he appeared on the door of the First regiment army, where the colored Baptists are holding a National convention. In the same way as we have seen in the previous chapter, we can distinguish the two societies. Washington belonged his constituents and seemed probably moved at his reception. "When he comes to deliver his address pandemic brute are afraid, and it was nearly the minutes this time before he gould mind himself board. Just as the noise was quieting down someone shouted, 'What's the matter with Teddy?' and the response shook the ratters of the argument. And the oration which Dr. Washington delivered to the multitude of Baptists and citizens of Chicago was full of eloquence, of inspiration, of the grand optimism, which makes struggling people strong in the faith that move mountains. It is well for the Afro-American people—that they have an orator of such eloquence, such wisdom, such hopefulness, and it is well for an Afro-American orator, that he can have such an audience at any time in any city of the Republic. Now the Chinese people have waked up and threaten to have constitutional government. The people of Cuba should remember that the covenous eyes of certain greedy Americans are upon them, and that if they give the slightest provocation by internal brawls Cuba's liberty will be imperilled. A remarkable feature of the Municipal campaign was the sight of so many Afro-American working at the polls with Tammany hodges on their breast. So one election district including a section of 125th street, this was especially noticeable, and out of the 1800 voters of the race enrolled there, a large proportion undoubtedly went to help out the slender plurality for McClellan in the general result. The result of the election in Brooklyn went far to vindicate the established reputation of that conservative borough as the former city of homes and churches. The Democratic machine candidate for borough president, although voted for his generality and popularity among the "boys," was turned out hard, in favor of his opponent on the Municipal Ownership ticket, a churchman in the state of high character and standing. The fate of the Cammany candidate for compromiser ticket also 'showed that the Brooklynites weigh character when making their cross marks in the polling booth. When *Collier's Weekly* characterised Thomas Dixon, Jr., as the spokesman of "the poor-white South" if dealt him a blow from which he will stagger until he drops into the grave. The vulgar has been attitudinizing as a blue-ruined creature, wrapped in purple, out of the best blood of North Carolina. But it looks as if the poor whites and the blue-ruined whites of the South would not only disown Dixon but spew him out, all sorts of Afro-Americans disowned and spewed out William Hannthal Thomas a few years ago. We think Thomas Dixon, Jr., has about reached the end of his power for mischief. A lot of people who mean well keep on insisting that the white and black people cannot live together on terms of friendship and equality in the United States, despite the fact that they are doing it in all of the States of the Republic except the Southern States, and will do it in those States in the end. What good will come of insistence of this argument? It can provoke only discontent. There is in the United but cheap notoriously for those who believe that the Afro-American people are going to remain this country because it is their country, and they will ultimately have all the friendship of their neighbors and equality under the law that others have. --- What does the editor of The Portland Ideate know about the National Area American Council, or the management of it, or the people who have kept the organization alive since its creation in 1882? He never attended a meeting of the Council; he never contributed a dollar to the work of it; he does not know anything it or about the men and women who have worked it through evil report. And what he says about the council in his issue of October 21 is based on falsehood or misinformation furnished by two selfish ingrates, and is malicious and intended to stir up strife. And wherefore so much evil thinking and writing all along the line? In all of the cities of the North and West Afro-Americans are beginning to do a lot of independent voting. It is probable that this will continue to be more general. All the conditions are favorable for it. Indeed, independent voting is becoming more general with all classes of voters in city elections in the North and West. It indicates that the intense partisan sentiment which grew out of the Civil War is being modified to meet the new highs and are constantly arising, until a complete redefinition of party alliances comes about. For instance, legislative policy insisted upon in many directions by President Roosevelt is Democratic rather than Republican in character and will be felt in the next National election. WHY LABOR IS LACKING. From The Memphis (Tenn.) Bluff City News. A carload of Italians was dumped on the plantation of Charles Scott at Rosedale, Miss., last Sunday. The object of this imported labor is to supplant the colored farmer as far as practicable. The labor farmer with the plow will work with sawmill managers of the Memphis State. The easily solved, if they would treat their colored help as human beings and protect them from whitecap outrages and mob violence, which have combined to drive the colored labor from the State. Roosevelt Strengthened at Tuskegee From The Orkland (Cal) Swimming From The Oakland (Cal.) Sunshine. In building Tinkerke the President visited a city built in Nepal. Nepo hands, even the bricks the buildingers' are built, carry he rode in, the harness. In fact everything his eye rested on was the handiwork of Negroes. Surely this is a race about future no one should have a doubt. He will surely work opt his own migration, if only left to purge the even tenor of his ways in peace. We hope this visit to the Ronny Booth where many opportunities will be given Mr. Hoopwatt will be constantly maligned and illimited will be strengthen his determination to give him a man's chance whenever he has the opportunity. I am a kind of person to draw the same tone and believe "a man a man for of man" even if he is a white man, and so Kelly, my best friend, in a white man. A very decent clap in Belly. He is an Irish American, was born and has lived, buy and man, all of his life, ever here in the 8th ward. He belonged to the city fire brigade, but is now on the retired list. I, too, have lived in this neighborhood over since I came North. I am a licensed vendor and pedicure fruit and vegetables. Belly usually comes, over evenings and we sit on my stoop, smoke, and discuss the topics of the day. And so it came about in one of our talks a year so ago, that itll asked me to buy Fergana. "Jack," says Kelly, "I saw an old friend to-day, one whom I knew and loved when we both were young, and life's path to me" seemed like the accent of something of sorrow, triumph, and difficulties to be overcome, but at the top was success. Well, Jack, I never reached the top. I was driver for our engine, and I drove horses were beautiful, satin-skinned, and needed care. They were the pride of the whole company. Billy and Pegasus—but Pegasus was my favorite. How proud and high-mettled he was. I am quite sure she knew he was a stock food, and tried to live up to his manhood. He had cars had only been in use a short time and the horses were bit bury of them. We were going to a fire and came in contact with a car. I was thrown from my car and had a concussion. Pegasus was badly hurt also. I illness I came out of the hospital the wreck you see me. Pegasus. I found, was alive, but how changed, how fallen from his high estate. He had been sold to a company. He had seen better days, the downhill path for us both. The electric car and the automobile have pushed the ordinary everyday horse aside, and today I found my old friend, half starved, broken in splice, with the almost human heart, seen better days, in the market to be sold for what he would bring." That was Beilly's story. Of course I bought Peppan, and as the months have gone by, he has lost that look of patient endurance, so often seen on the faces of people of my race and horse. His coat begins to look glossy, and he holds his head up and faces the camera with a position and felt that after all life still worth living. And so we jog along together and somehow I feel, that there is that one touch of nature that makes him, a real bond of sympathy, between us. He is being gradually pushed to the wall of enclosure. What modern science has brought to the horse, foreign emigration and race prejudice will eventually bring to a uncle we make a firm stand to oppose the horse's ennui. Already in almost every field of labor, where heretofore the Negro was exclusively employed, he has been thrust aside on the plea that he does not do the truth of the white man, when the truth of the horse is kept employed and wishes to keep his job, he must give better service and for less pay than his white fellow servant. And yet with almost every avenue of industry against us, it is not the Afro-American people that fills the great charitable and criminal institutions of this country. In ante-bellum days when we were chattles, to be bought and sold, and had good workers, and considered excellent servants. How strange that freedom seems to have had a sort of blighting that we chose good and sterling qualities we possessed that to-day the Negro has no deteriorated that they are no longer good domestic, but no shiftless, and lazy like—Oh, so no bait, no bait, the southern poor white man. An outcome of slavery is, that it has wrought a miracle. The Ethiopian has changed the color of his skin. The Afro-veins are the exceptions, and not the rule, and yet our detractors pharisaically turn up their eyes and talk plainly about the prostitution of the Negro, but say nothing about the prostitution of our women during slavery. Is that burden of the American white woman, that burden that tries her heart and soul, the servant girl problem: the problem that bids fair to drive the Negro problem in the community by the Afro-American domestic? Hardly for the very good reason that colored people as servants have gone out of fashion, and the supply of efficient and competent colored servants is always demand. And so Madame is between the demands and the season. She feels that it isn't good form to employ colored help and the average white girl of the better class would rather work ten hours a day in a factory onervation wages than live in service, and the Negro and the horse will come into their horse through the evolution of popular opinion and appreciation of one of God's gift hosts to man; the Afro-American by sheer cheer and the determination against all odds to forge anhead, and to run away from the best along all lines of thought and affection. Meanwhile, we are sick unto death of being patted upon the back and told to be good and we will be happy. Neither are we yearning after social equality, should we be. Some of us believe we are dearest from African kings and are proud of our ancestors. Our court dress was "the altogether". Our unpaid labor has helped in a very large measure to make this country what it is to today. All of we this 'generation ask is simple justice, the open door of corporateism, the same and equal chance in life that is freely given to our foreigner that makes this country his home. The result be ours to demonstrate the survival of the fittest. DIXON GIVEN THE LIE From The American Press Criticism by W. E. Gonzales, editor of *The Columbia State*, of the Rev. Thomas Dixon, Jr., play, "The Clanmanin," has led to a sharp controversy. Mr. Gonzales says the play is indecent and historically inaccurate. Mr. Dixon offers to refer the question to arbitration. He accuses to forfeit $1,000 and to withdraw the play if the decision he against him, provided Mr. Gonzales will pay a like amount and give permission of the *State* in case he beaten. This challenge Mr. Gonzales declines, saying that its conditions are ridiculous, report was published that that the *Clanmanin* was hissed in Columbia. In an interview with the Rev. Mr. Dixon says that the hissing was up job by Gonzales. The peddler says this is "a mean and wilful slander." and Mr. Dixon explains that he meant to say that the hissing was misleading and was not intent on Gonzales as agent of the Associated Press. Mr. Gomnes returns that he does not represent The Associated Press and that any story of his sending out a misleading report is "a cold hit." So far the controversy has been altogether by telegraph. Spine the military hospital. Who would call the battle of Napoleon, the war system of development, have moved to again attempt attention to this particular issue. For the past eight years she has been without a threat, although balancing to a ruling family. Jeme and deserved by friends, she lives in a state burdening on poverty in one of the obscure villages of Algeria. The only bright spots in the life of the queen are the occasional visits she makes to the city of Paris. There she is able to forget her sorrows and grief over her lost, position of royal influence. Owing to the parsimony of the French government, whose charge or charity ward she in, Ranavale is able to go on these expeditions to Paris only at long intervals. She has been there but three times, making her first visit in 1901, the second two years later, and now she is in the French capital again. Ranavale is 44 years old, and although her complexion inclues to a dusky shade, she is by no means unattractive. She possesses a distinctly good figure, dromes with much taste, and carries herself with a certain air of distinction. Her life's history is full of pathetic interest. There is much of the stage romance about her fall from a position of proud ruler over three millions of people to that of an exile in a foreign land, living always in a dependent on the pension of the government that is responsible for her reverence. Ranavalo ruled over Madagascar for fourteen years, and, like the two queens who preceded her, became the wife of the queen of France. When she began her reign in her country, with France, but despite the troubling times which she came to the throne, she worked increasingly toward the betterment of her people. One of her last acts before her dissolution, she open a large and well-equipped school for women. When the French finally took possession of the island the ex-queen and her husband were deported to Reunion, where they lived for two years, when they were sent to Algiers. Not long after their arrival in Madagascar, his last request was that his mains should be taken back to the land of his forefathers. Ranavalo petitioned the French government to this effect, but the French notice of the request, and her husband's remnants were finally interred in Algerian soil. After spending four unhappy years in Algiers the ex-sexual petitioned the French government for permission to visit Paris, allowing at that time was a paltry $2,000. The French government considered sufficient for this. This to a queen who had lately ruled over a country as large as France, meant practical poverty. But Ranavalo, who exposition and sweet temper have not been able to knock of fortune, made no complaint. With all the spirit and zest of a girl she enjagged the brilliant sights of Paris. The French Government showed to her a dinky princess. She was assigned to a dinky little apartment over a wine shop, and her apartment was perticted to a few drives under the guidance of a third-rate official from the Colonial Office. She was too, so far fornot its traditional allusions, to make poor Imanavalo the object of many cigars. One paper published a cartoon presenting the ex-sexual as in conference with her cook. "Three people to dinner!" the cook. "Has your majesty received it?" though this was unkind it accurately represented the position of the former queen. She was treated like a naughty child. A kind of governess was deputed to look after her. She was the permission of this servant, she was unhappy to spend a penny or to converse with anyone. A section of the French press finally came to the conclusion that this treatment of an inoffensive and amiable woman was not a campaign of admiration of France, and a page, campaign of admiration, shortly afterward in her allowance being raised to S.S.O., at which figure it now remains, in spite of the fact that her mother was going to a pretty taste in French cuisine, it hard work to keep within her income. Her second visit to Paris was hardly more enjoyable than her first. She was again lodged in a mean apartment in a hotel, and allowed to go out only once every week, able to have her meals prepared in the hotel, and her attendant had to go out, buy food at a restaurant, and bring it to ex-Qeen every mealtime. She was invited to receive visitors or to accept invitations from foreign semi-official dinner was, however, given to her, and on this occasion she remarked to a friend, "I am a beggar and a tramp, one that receives no sympathy. Instead of someone I am given a dinner, and instead of my people the ridicule of my conquerors. In spite of the shabby treatment she received in Paris, she nevertheless was delayed with her brief visit. Once or twice she showed through of the large shops looking for books, she played for sale, but unable to buy anything beyond some trumpet finery on account of her lack of funds. During this visit, a swingbackcling duetist, who had obtained the support of one of the Paris newspapers, and announced his intention of carrying off Ranavalu to England, she often failed because the newspaper at the moment withdrew its support, together with the funds for carrying out the abdication. A year after this visit it was announced that a French harrier, practicing in the Algerian courts, was to marry Ranavalu. The French Colonial Office being faced by the problem. If the Queen married the French citizen, would become a French citizen, and the authorities were unable to decide whether she could still be considered as a state citizen and continue to draw her pension. The marriage, however, did not take place. Among the friends that Ranavalo has made during her exile, the most notable is the ex-Oz. The great singer entertained the ex-Oz. The great singer entertained in 1903, and during this visit Ranavalo played a great love for music, though her taste inclined toward popular songs rather than high class compositions. Simple Mime. Clever songs most pleasing. And frequently sank to her "My Pretty Jane" and "Home, Sweet Home." DR. WASHINGTON'S SUGGESTION. From The Washington Record The surrogate of Dr. Booker Washington to celebrate the coming naked day of the immortal Garrison is timely and meets our approval. Let it be fittingly celebrated in this city. Seeing a load of slaves being embarked at Baltimore for New Orleans slave market, and witnessing the heart rending acenes of parting, he denounced in scathing terms the institution and there swore eternal opposition to slavery. He was arrested, bined and imprisoned. Undaunted he became the most intrepid leader of the abolition movement. Let his name, and memory be kept ever green in our heart history. Mr. Alison C. Taylor, a young Afro-American of Charleston, S. C., has invented a cotton planter and fertilizer distributor. He plans and will do the work of five sheds and five mills. The man has been given a science test, and a stock company to manufacture others is projected. The following are the results of the experiment. The Washington Browning Times recently referred to Hoe. William F. Powell an aide from New Jersey. "Against this ill-fated affront Mr. Daniel Murray annotated time enough from his 'labors of annoying every prominent man to the Afro-American people to protest with energy. Strings to my. The Times apologized and promised to be good in the future." William Lloyd Garrison's belief in the influence of women for good is being continually vindicated. The Yates Colored Women's club of Cairo, Flt., has raised money to establish a hospital for Afro-Americans in that town for the care of the sick, gird and indigent and for the training of nurses. . Governor Luke E. Wright of the Philippine Commission is on his way to the United States. Before he left the islands he declared positively that he would return. We shall see! The solemn statements of politicians are usually like crost—made to be broken. Why should Governor Wright return or be allowed to return to the Philippine Islands? The Filipinos do not want him. When President Roosevelt visited New Orleans on October 28 the Afro-Americans gathered on Canal street between liberty and Caliborne streets and rent the week with cheers as he passed. Miss Marie Moss, a nine-year-old school girl, dressed in khat cloth and brass buttons like a Rough Rider, presented him with an address, engrossed on parchment, from the Afro-Americans of the city and signed by Walter L. Cohen, F. B. Smith and J. Madison Vance. King Menzell of Abyssinia is going to have a bank of his own. Mr. W. H. Hille of New York took to the king when he was last in Abyssinia a full set of silver coins, from five cents to a dollar, with the kings' strong face engraved on it. King Menzell's cavoy in New York at this time, and the kings' cavoy him much more attentive. He thinks there is nothing drinkable the equal of a Manhattan cocktail, except perhaps, a Martini. --- It is a shame that the observance of Halloween has degenerated into a sort of riotous revelry, disgraceful from every point of view. The writer left Chicago Halloween night, and was shocked by the riots and vulgar displays in which some of the revelers indulged. The protests which plows people have since been registering indicate that the excesses were very general. The abus of the celebration should be stopped by public indignation. Are the Italians also an initiative people? One of that race used a razor on the woman who had filled him, in New York, last week. The razor is not an Italian weapon of defense, the objective is if the times of things is to be preserved, then the Italian caught using a razor as a weapon of defense should be given the limit of the law. In the hands of a great entirely expert, the razor is a weapon not to be beaten at. The interest In the celebration of Garrettson's birthday, December 16, is general throughout the country. This is as it should be. The celebration should be general throughout the country. A review of the life and work of the great agitator will be helpful to the race and informing to the public of the events that make the celebration notable in the history of the race for the year. Our patrons will be with interest the comments on this celebration of a number of our contemporaries printed on another page. The Chinese have modified their business of American manufactured products, but it is very safe to conclude that they get their price for doing it. A very good way to fetch a white man to his proper seat is to get a grip on his pocketbook. The Chinese entering the United States are governed by the Chinese Exclusion act. In carrying out the provisions of this act the immigration agents of the United States have heretofore treated all Chinamen like the exempt and the prescribed. This conduct has exasperated the Chinamen very much, for the exempt class of Chinamen are entitled to as much consideration by the American authorities as other foreigners. We shall have better treatment of the exempt Chinamen as a result of the law. The remains of Judge Aldson W. Tourgee will be interred November 3 at Marville, New York. Judge Tourgee died in France a few weeks ago. Under the leadership of Hed, Harry C. Smith, editor of The Cleveland Gazette, a number of prominent Afro-Americans from several of the large cities of the country will attend the funeral. Judge Tourgee was a good soldier of the Union and a faithful citizen in New Carolina during the Reconstruction period; and his novels dealing with this period will always remain an interesting and valuable feature of American literature. It is fair to note that he patriotically, justly and widely honored in his death by the Afro-Americans, whose faithful friend Sid claimed he was. George Dixon, the once famous pilot who has been spending some years in Ireland, has returned to New York. The most supers report that he returns in money than when he went away. That is not strange, as money is not as easily or kept abroad as in the United States. George Dixon has had a more remarkable career in the prize ring than any other man in his class. He earned barrels of money, but it came easy and went easy, so that when he was conquered at last by a winner he was broke. "Talking about Dixon reminds us that the Afro-American puchlist is a rare bird in these days. A few years ago he had the center of the stage, Peter Jackson, "The Harriet Coffee Coffee," George Dixon, "George Godfrey, Joe Walcott, Joe Gane—they held up the race and in the ring in great shape. Walcott and Gans are still in the game very much, but the others have dropped out. Godfrey was the only one of the batch who had the knack of holding on to the dollars. Afro-American Jeudira, who a score of years are bound, the track, have missed down and out. Just why all this has come about does not appear on the surface.

From the Indiana Record. The suggestion made by Dr. Booker T. Washington, and very generally taken up by the press of the race and of the country, that the centenary of the great abolitionist should be generally celebrated on the 10th of December next, is one that the people at large should adopt and carry to a happy conclusion. While, in a large sense the labors of William Lloyd Garrison wrought for the well being of be devised that those who benefited most the people of the whole Republic, including the slave holders, it will not by those labors were the African slaves and their descendants, in the United States; it is highly appropriate, therefore, and, whatever others may or may not do it will be peculiarly gracious for people to make an anniversary a Nation-wide event only for this year, but for all succeeding years, as William Lloyd Garrison, more than any other American, typified in his life and labors and achievements the "genius of universal emancipation." In order to carry out more fully on the 10th of December and on all succeeding Decembers the perpetuation of the name and good works of William Lloyd Garrison, it would be wise and appropriate to be open and alluded to the William Lloyd Garrison clubs, with this rinsing declaration of Mr. Garrison's as the rallying cry: "I am in earnest—I will not equivocate—I will not retreat a single inch—and I will be heard."

The Garrison Centenary It was a crowd, resolute, determined, It thirtegal for blood—blood that ran farcefully through the veins of a feeling black. Only this blood could shake its madening thirst. Had not this black man entered the castle of a white man a week previous without knocking, and that, too, in-hed Springs, where the "tradition of the fathers" forbade him undue liberties? Again, had not this black now invaded the sanctity of a wilde's home and therefrom dragged her only daughter upon whom to wreak his soul purpose? Why wait upon the tardy steps of the law? Who would wait? Who dared wait? And so this angry, surging mob upon horseback and a-foot, as it swept along in the wake of the fugitive, cried, "Lynch him! Lynch him!" and their far-flung bestial cries, echoed and re-echoed among the hills. The hunted creature, wild-eyed and breathing hard, quickened his pace. "There he goes! there he goes!" cried several of the mob at once, as a man went swiftly down the farther side of a hill. Instantly several rifles rang out, but without avail. "Here, men, here! that may not be our darkey," cautiously called out one who was presumably the leader of the mob. "Let's divide up. Some of you follow the creek road." As the men separated, he cried. "Remember, men, the purity of our homes has been outraged, the jewel of a widow's home has been ruthlessly torn from her embrace. Remember..." This passionate but effective oblivion found a ready response in the hearts of the rabble. "We will! we will!" they interrupted. "We'll hang him on a sour apple tree like we hung John Brown," halloed one, more jocose than the rest. Then all the throng took up the blood curdling refrain, "Lynch him! lynch him!" In a rambling country house beside a bed sat a woman with pale and troubled face, while upon the bed another woman bossed in pain. They were maiden sisters who lived all alone save for a hired man who guarded the property and them. On this particular day the neighbors had gone to a picnic. The hired man had gone as a driver for some of the parties. As ill luck would have it, Miss Gladys had taken suddenly sick. Her sister, having exhausted her slender stock of appliances for aches and From The St. Paul (Minn.) Appeal. The Appeal heartily concurs in the suggestion of Dr. Booker T. Washington that the one hundredth anniversary of the birth of William Lloyd Garrison should be celebrated in Ireland all over the country. The lesson of Garrison's life would be of great value to the world if properly presented. Krom The Springfield (Ill.) Forum From The Springfield (IN.) Forum. It has been suggested that on December 1000, which date marks the one hundredth birthday of Garrison some form of celebration throughout the length and breadth of this land be held. Here in Springfield, where lies the buried Abraham Lincoln, let us celebrate fitting- ly. Let the Culture club have a Garrison program. From The Star of Zion. Dr. Washington's suggestion to celebrate the 100th birthday of William Lloyd Garrison, Sunday, December 10, with appropriate exercises, is a commendable one and is being endorsed by the race press throughout the country. The Negro had no more loyal friend nor one who suffered more for him. The plan is a good one. From The Xenia (O.) Standard and Ob- December 10th will mark the 100th anniversary of the birth of William Lloyd Garrison, the great anti-slavery agitator, and Proof. Booker T. Washington suggests that our people throughout the country celebrate the occasion by delivering addresses in the churches bearing upon the life and services of Garrison. From The African American Press, Dr. Booker T. Washington suggests the observance by the colored people of the country of the approaching birthday anniversary of William Lloyd Garrison on December 10th. He further suggests that as it will occur in Sunday there might be churches so guarded as not to be out of harmony with the character of the day. The suggestion is a good one and will doubtless be acted upon by many. From The Birmingham (Ala.) Truth. The grateful memory of William Lloyd Garrison should be kept ever fresh in the mind and heart of every liberty loving American. Especially should the colored people of this country treasure, as a priceless book the words and potential service of the great humiliator, whose endeavors have helped so materially inounding the death-knell of human slavery and in establishing a high standard of American policy and of American manhood. From The Evansville (Ind.) Transcript. We observe that Dr. Booker T. Washington suggests the appropriate observance of the onetime hero of American William Lloyd Garrison. Every student of history is familiar with the life history of the patriot who did more than any man to secure the freedom of the slave through organization and agitation. As a race there should be a general observance of the hundredth birthday of William Lloyd Garrison and we hope our loyal citizens will not fail to do justice to the occasion by service worthy of his memory. From The Florida Sentiment There is no man, living or dead, to whom we unpleasant Negroes owe so much to and to whom we are indebted for so noble a life's service in our behalf, as to William Lloyd Garrison. Inasmuch as Mr. Washington has primarily brought out the thought, we suggest that he designate a committee of a reasonable number, he to be a member of the same, and formulate some character of service to be observed by the race throughout the country on the 10th of December. We are most favorably disposed towards such a public demonstration. paina, sat helpless. The doctor lived four miles away in Red Springs. Plainly she could not leave her sister to go for him, and there was no one whom she could send. Mentally she wrung her hands, for she dared not let her sister see her distress. "Gladys, you must try and bear the pain. The picnicking party, and Sam will surely come in an hour or so." For answer, Miss Gladys only gave her a vacant stare and then, seemingly satisfied, resumed her tossing. "Oh! something must be done. She is going to die!" almost screamed her sister. Down at the side of the bed she buried her face in the covering and prayed. "Oh, God, save my sister! I can't do anything more. Don't let her die, dear God. Send—" and then her prayer was lost in a tempest of weeping. In reply to her entreaty a black face pressed itself against the window-pane as if its owner contemplated entering, then disappeared. Emily Bradford had seen it, and she fairly flew to the door. She was not frightened. Instead she was now calm and self-possessed. Sam, the hired man, fell all in a heap in the doorway and cowered at her feet. His face was like ashes, and he trembled like an aspen leaf. "What in the world. Sam is the matter?" "Miss Emily, dey's utter me! dey's utter me! Dey wants to lynch me, an' I ain't done nuttin." "What do you mean, Sam? I don't understand." Then Sam related, gasping for breath all the while, how coming in town from the picnic grounds to make some purchases from the stores and while in the suburbs, he found himself pursued by an angry mob. Miss Emily's mind worked quickly. Two lives were at stake. She must save them and heroic measures must be adopted. "Come, Sam," she said, and somewhat dramatically, she throw open the door of the sick room. "Look there!" and she pointed to the bed. The woman in the bed continued to mean and toss. "Miss Gladys must have Dr. Harris, Sam. You must get him." The change in the Negro was something wonderful. It was as the some fairy's magic wand had been waved over him. He was no more the cringing ceward, but a man. "I will go, Miss Emily," he said, simply. From The Christian Recorder. The illustrations list of old anti-slavery guards contains no more reliable name than that of William Lloyd Garrison. That the 100th anniversary of the great champion of Negro emancipation should be appropriately observed in December goes without the saying. The suggestion of Dr. Washington to this end is quite timely, and it is to be hoped that the race press may be a unit in the promises. Its mettle by leading off in the matter. Its new President, Bishop Walters, is just the man to suggest the proper move to make on the part of the race. From The Savannah (fia.) Tallouse. From The Savannah (Ga.) Tallone, "The part that William Lloyd Garrison has felt is the importance of the American slaves is well known by every student of history and should be especially familiar to members of our race. In many parts of the country the birthday of this great American abolitionist will be observed fittingly, and justly so. The citizens of this community should not be amused in the observance of this day. It is suggested that the ministers of the several churches would give a special sermon on the occasion, which can be enlightened by the Men's Sunday club. From The Indianapolis Freeman From The Indianapolis Pressman The suggestion of Mr. Washington that the birthday of William Lloyd Garrison December 10, be made one of celebration seems to us a good one. He occupies the course in a constellation of great men all of whose good for human liberty for all marked, and this day, as one of celebration, would furnish high ground for all who lose the cause of humanity. There can be no question how that our cooperation day celebrations are serving that fraught art at the theater. The day that they do not accrue the people because they point to sadness. There is an increasing sentiment which feels neither joy nor pride in lifting the curtain which reveals past wrong and degradation and looks with displeasure on any effort to keep alive memories that should be shame to every American. Not so would it be with this day. It contains vastly more for it appeals to all who know the sacredness of liberty, and it is therefore less selfish and personal. The world is indebted to this name, and we more than any other people. We hope our ministers will not on this suggestion, and by their action on the tenth of next December will lay the foundation for making an annual celebration that may soon be observed throughout the country. From The Colored American Magazine, Dr. Booker T. Washington, with his usual thoughtfulness, has called attention to the 100th anniversary of the birth of William Lloyd Garrison, which occurs December 10, 1905, and suggests that in all sections of the country Afro-Americans fittingly observe and celebrate the event. William Lloyd Garrison's work in that of the freedom of the Negro needs no mention from us. Suffice it to say that he did more to shy slavery than any other anti-slavery man. He gave up his life to the cause, just as his grandson to-day is devoting his energies to the completion of the work begun by his illustrious sire. The value of Garrison's labors cannot be commuted: they are not to be weighed by words and phrases; they are of the kind that speak more eloquently for themselves than man can speak for them. The history of the struggle from 1833 to the Emancipation Proclamation is a history of the life and labor of Garrison. The Afro-Americans will see that appropriate service will be held in commemoration of the birth of the Liberator. All peoples delight to celebrate the name of their benefactors. In no other way can the world get a correct estimate of their worth and fitness for the higher enjoyment of freedom. A heart that is indifferent to the "Walt, Sam." Hastily Miss Bradly note a note. Then picking up a handkerchief from the table she tied it to a window-stick. "As soon as you come in sight of the mob, Sam, should you be so unfortunate, wave this handkerchief and deliver this note to the first man you meet." There was no escape for Sam, for members of the mob held all the roads and scoured the woods. When they copied him they began yelling and emptying their pistols at him. "There's a darky! That's the one! Kill him! Kill him!" Instantly Sam waved his improvised flag. Though there was some desultory shooting, the flag was generally recognized. The note, too, was delivered, and a knot of impatient men gathered around to hear it read. It ran as follows: "You have pursued the wrong man. The bearer of this note, Sam Smith, ran because he was frightened, thinking you were after him. He is on the way for the doctor. I fear my sister is dying. Let him pass, please. "Emily Bradford." "For God's sake, men, let this darky pass," cried the reader of the note. "He is on the way for Doctor Harris. It is my cousin who is sick." But curses followed him, and some were for killing Sam anyway, and, perhaps they would have done so, had not at this moment a horseman dashed up. "We've got the right man," he shouted. "Caught him over on the Indian Creek road. Come on, boys, let's have some fun. He's just right, in prime condition for burning." The next day The Red Springs Courier, in addition to a history of the crime and a realistic write-up of the lynching, came out with this news item: "We are glad that the wrong man was not lynched. This would have been unfortunate. Yet the mob yesterday came very near lynching Sam Smith. He was thought to be the man and was pursued, but managed to escape. Later on he surrounded with sufficient evidence of his innocence to be turned loose. It seems that Sam came back in the face of almost certain death for the purpose of procuring a doctor for the Bradford household. To-day Sam is held to be a sort of a hero. He ought to be thankful that he has a whole skin on him." Abhlevey, S. C., October 28, 1905. spirit that gave it complete liberty, deserves bondage, and the world is not long in saying so. Heaven itself does not smile upon those who are forgetful of the sacrifices made for their freedom. I Garrison made no sacrifice for the physical freedom of the Negro, then the Master did not sacrifice His life for the soul. From The Southwestern Christian Advocate. The one-hundredth anniversary of the birth of William Lloyd Garrison occurs on December 10 of the present year, and upon that day should young, America be told of the principally character and unselfish living of this one of America's most famous leaders. Nerves of the country take advantage of the occasion to honor the name of Garrison and give expressions of gratitude for the movement that led to their freedom. A recent communication from Dr. Booker T. Washington on the subject is timely and will be of interest. The Southernatern suggests the organization of a committee of twelve to formulate plans for the proper celebration of the birthday of Mr. Garrison, well known as Dr. Washington as chairman of the committee with power to appoint the remaining members. The movement will have the hearty support of The Southwestern. R. W. Thompson in The Indianapolis Press The spontaneous approval of Dr. Rooker T. Washington's suggestion that the race join in for a general observance of the 100th anniversary of the birth of William Lloyd Garrison is credible to the Negro's deep sense of the fitness of things and grateful spirit for signal service rendered. It is especially appropriate that Mr. Archibald H. Grinke should be selected to prepare a program for the occasion. No man of our race is gone in touch with the atmosphere which the great abolitionist breathed, living in Boston, the very "erode of liberty," and coming himself from an aneurysm actively identified with the Garrison movement. The leaflet will contain a sample order of exercises for the use of children in the Sunday schools, and also for adult public meetings. Due notice will be given through the press as to how, when and where the leaflet may be secured. In the meantime, local arrangements should be perfected by the committees throughout the land. Dr. Washington has received many letters assuring him that the celebration of the century will be National in scope. From The Little Rock (Ark) Reporter The grateful memory of William Lloyd Garrison should be kept ever fresh in the mind and heart of every liberty- loying American. Especially should the colored people of this country treasure, as a priceless boon, the words and service of this great humanitarian, whose tongue and pen helped so materially in sounding the deathknell of human slavery and American manhood. Excellent work is the suggestion contained in a telegraph from the principal of the Tuskegee Institute to the Washington News Syndicate, wherein he calls attention to the fact that December 10, 1963, will mark the one-hundredth anniversary of the birth of William Lloyd Garrison, and it seems, proper that some form of celebration as nearly uniform in character as possible should be decided upon, in which our people could take part throughout the United States. Dr. B. T. Washington, the late celebrator who would institute a fitting celebration of the birth of the man to whom our race and the world in general are so greatly indulged, yet he suggested that, since the anniversary comes on Sunday, perhaps one method of celebration might be to have addresses and sermons delivered in our churches on that day throughout the church, bearing upon the life and services of Mr. Garrison, the great anti-slavery agitator and 'Amerkern reformer.

Allow me to thank Tim Aer for its most minute and magnificent description of the Presidency visit to Taskeege and the won dertial things, he say. Readers who are of lowling the President on his Southern journey can read this list of useful and grafting information with great profit. I found my paper awaiting me on my arrival at home last evening and, tough the hour was late, I deserved eagerly the story of Taskeege's gain day before putting Wonderful is Taskeege Institute! Since 1900, I have washed my Breathes there a man with a soul so dead among the race, so contracted, so nigard and cavions, that he would by word or deed seek to mislead the mind of the public as to the profitable use of his mindful pals. It such there be let him go and see, and be not faithless but believing President Roosevelt himself was doubtless amazed beyond words and will leave the nation with him. He can then ever before. It would be inedible prostrate to the Nation at large if this most wonderful and beautiful institution could be pluried in some of our living illustrious managers. "Jack Titmouse," heGodded.

In the recent postal civil service examinations held in this city only colored applicants, we are told, received high ratings. The reason for this is quite natural, but not likely to be readily understood. In the first place, the service has few attractions for young white men of culture equal to or higher, whereas only the brightest colored men, as a rule, try for the examinations. In the next place, the average young white men try for not better outside the service than with it, whereas the bright Negro cannot, as a rule. For these reasons no fair comparison between the relative rates of the results inferred from the results shown by the examinations. ROOSEVELT'S SILENCE. Did It Mean an Abandonment of the Race to Political Helotry? From The Springfield Republican. The President has completed his tour of the South, and it may now be said, as a matter of record, that in not one of his speeches did he speak a word in support of the maintenance of the political rights of the colored race, under the Federal Constitution. The nearest he came to such an utterance was at Tuskegee, where he said: "It is not only the duty of the white man, but it is to his interest to see that the Negro is protected in property, in life and in all 'his legal rights.' The phrase "legal rights" is hardly broad enough, as commonly used in public discussion of the questions relating to Negro citizenship, to include political rights. Ibid Mr. Rosswell wished to make himself unanimately clear in support of the colored man's political status he would undoubtedly have added a significant word or two at that particular point. In no other address did the President approach the subject, while in his speech before the colored citizens at Jacksonville Fl., he seemed by implication to discontinue a policy of rare assertion in politics, "It is so to me" he declared, "that it is top of all of us that our duties are more important than our rights. If we do our duties faithfully in spite of the difficulties that come, then sooner or later the rights will take one of themselves. Applied to the question of the rights of the Negroes, it is clear that the Negro should not bother himself about them while concentrating his efforts upon the questions of industrial efficiency, moral progress and good citizenship. These facts concerning the President's Southern tour are not emphasized for the purpose of attacking him, but with the object of correctly interpreting current history. Before the tour began The Republican polled out with some detail the development of the question of the political status of the colored race since Mr. Roosevelt became President, showing that the tendency has been for it to sink lower and African Americans will aid it. He helped be curious to know whether his attitude has been modified by his four years' experience in office and whether he will refer to the question all-that is, in its political aspect—in his greetings and declarations to his Southern audiences. To students of the Negro situation in the United States the tour becomes an event of exceptional interest because of its organic relation to the course of events. Curiosity is now satisfied. The President spoke sensibly and well in several places on Negro education, and most admirably did he demonstrate Jewish identity in Arkansas. But concerning the colored race's right to participate in the politics of state and Nation he was everywhere silent. This silence is open to a discouraging interpretation, especially from the point of view of those who were emancipated politically by the 17th Amendment. It is to be said that the President could scarcely have wooed the white South so gallantly and forcibly had he gone into the political phase of the race question, yet the query now arises: whether the renewal of the entente cordiale between the President and his mother's people, for which there are many reasons for satisfaction, involves on his part the abandonment of the colored folk to the political halo to which the white race of the South has consigned them.

Boston, November 8.—Maineachusetts has elected a complete Republican State ticket, giving Gen. Curtis Guild, Jn., the candidate for Governor, a plurality of 29,455 over Gen. Charles W. Bartlett, and apparently elected Eben S. Draper no Lieutenant-Governor by 1,942 votes over Henry M. Whitney, the Democratic reciprocity candidate. The result of the balloting for second place was in doubt until late at night; and at 12 o'clock, although the figures indicate Draper's election, the people at Whitney headquarters did not admit defeat. Draper came to Boston with about 27,000 plurality, white in Boston Whitney had about 25,000 in the good. The 43,000 Republican reciprocity voters that the Whitney people have been talking about for some time evidently did not all vote for the Democratic candidate, although there is no question about some of them knitting Draper while marking their ballots for Guild. For some time the indications were that Whitney was elected, but as the evening wore, on one occasion and as the morning and finally some of the newspapers announced his election, while others stood out until the very last for Whitney. The Legislature is strongly Republican. The biggest surprise of the balloting is the election of John B. Moran as District Attorney of Suffolk county, which includes within its borders Chelsea, Winthrop and Revere. Moran ran upon nomination papers against Michael J. Squarre, who was nominated the both the governor and the Republican conventions, and no one for the moment felt that Moran had a look in for the office. The returns indicate that he wins by about 5,000. Mr. Surgehrue has been District Attorney since the death of Oliver Stevens, a few week ago, through appointment from Gov. Douglas, and was to hold office until this election. He was formerly an assistant under Mr. Stevens and to today's election was to fill the office for Mr. Stevens's unexpired term, which has still two years to run. Boston Democrats are dumfounded at the results and the leaders seem not to understand why Gen. Bartlett should have been so badly killed by who voted for Whitney. As a matter of fact, Democrats voted in large numbers for Grill, and 'while the Republicans stood by the nominees for Governor they cut the candidate for Lieutenant-Governor. Mr. Whitney made a much better showing in Boston that did Crosby last year. The latter's plurality was a little short of 19,000. Mr. Whitney said last night: "I believe that the result of the voting on the Lieutenant-Governinsh does not accurately represent the full strength of the views of the people of Massachusetts touching the question of reciprocity and tariff revision. Many Republicans who at heart and as a matter of judgment are with us on these issues find it difficult or impossible to break away from the sentiments of the other party. They have shifted their duty to their city and State and will, in my judgment, live to regret it, if indeed they do not already regret it. At the last moment after the most frantic appeals, the Republican State central committee recognized the Afro-American voters to the extent of having the candidates speak at some colored rallies, where, as usual, some has done for me. We was unctionally rehearsed and one or two mediocre men had to exploit themselves. The preparations for the Garrison Contenant still go on and it promises, if freed from certain dominating influences, to be a very creditable affair, worthy of the man whose birth we celebrate, and worthy of the people in whose cause he did so much. It is coming to him, Mr. Garrison, Phillips and Loroyh has not been left to one particular people. The lesson they left belongs to humanity, and it is in this spirit, reverently and humbly, that the Afro-American should lay his tribute, Mr. A. H. Grimke, our correspondent, is coming into his own and the sphere of his usefulness has been widened by his recent achievement. Mr. John Shaw has removed to Cambridge and will continue his literary work, and lecture occasionally on timely topics. Charles street church members turned out Sunday in large numbers to assist their sister church, St. Paul's, Rov. R. C Ransome preached one of his characteristic and illuminating sermons, enhancing his reputation as an orator. A very pretty wedding was solemnized at St. John's church by Father Fields, Sunday, when Miss Ethel Williams, who has lived for the past four or five years in the town of Worcester, of 41 Windsor street. The bride was very pretty gowned in light blue broadcloth with velvet trimming. Miss Holone Woolfok of Worcester, was bridesmaid, and Mr. J. E. Gill was best man. Only intimate friends and the family witnessed the ceremony. Mrs. M. E. Sned of Jersey City, mother of the bride, came beautiful and useful presents were given the young people and the good wishes of many friends will follow them. Society still rests on its own, politics having everything else at a standstill. Numerous affairs are billed, however, that promise all the gatsby that one many desire. The Masons, Odd Fellowship Literary societies and other societies are just waiting for the elections to be over. At the beautiful apartment of Sergent and Mrs. Horatio J. Horn, 684 Massachusetts avenue, last Friday evening a very enjoyable second wedding anniversary was celebrated. Sergent Homer wore a smile that was contagious and Mrs. Homer was bubbling over with merriment and the two treated their company with unbounded hospitality. The following ladies and gentlemen were present and not only participated in the games and enjoyed the music, but were highly delighted with the splendid supper served at 11 o'clock. Mr. and Mrs. A. J. Hendricks, Jamie cain, Mr. and Mrs. John H. Jonca, Mr. and Mrs. David G. Beckford, Mr. and Mrs. George Philips, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Alexander, Mr. and Mrs. Henry W.

The New York WML Carry On the Old Constructional Policy. Cammion, November 6.—On Tuesday October 81, the Men's Forum held its annual election at Forum hall, President Bryant profiling. The following sentings were elected to conduct its affairs during the second year: M. F. Hamle president; S. P. Clark, vice president; H. E. Young, treasurer; L. L. Frando, treasurer. THE MISSING MEN OF THE WORLD PREMIER LAURIER AND THE FORESTS. Sir Wilfrid Laurier, who has called a forestry convention to deliberate at Ottawa, will have the hearty co-operation of the United States bureau of forestry and various other bodies interested in the preservation of growing and the production of new timber. Sir Wilfrid, who is Canada's premier, has also interested Earl Grey, the governor general, in the convention. the affairs of the society are in safe hands and its policy will in the future be the same as in the past—along constructive lines, for the interest of all the people. It was on these lines that a fight has been waged during the past administration, and the election was a strong rebuke to the forces that seek to have the forum as an adjunct to the Boston Windjammer's organ. Last Sabbath the new officers of the Forum were inducted into office before a large and appreciative audience. The outgoing officials were shown every mark of appreciation, and the incoming were welcomed with a heartiness that promises the very best work yet done. Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Christmas will reside for the winter at 44 Windsor street. Mr. James Epps, prominent as a secret society member, will preside of the Men's Forum, is a candidate for the board of aldermen. Mr. Wendell Tucker, employed at the County buildings in East Cambridge, has the bee in his bonnet, and is seeking the nomination for the common council. Miss Marie R. Kansone of Somerville, is the capt of Mrs. W. W. Bryant for a few days. Mrs. Eather Holden, the wife of Descott Holden of the Union Baptist church, died at Lynn on Tuesday, October 31, and was buried from the Union Baptist church Thursday. Rev. Jesse Harrell officiated. Mrs. Holden was well known in the community as a most beautiful and beloved character, both at home and in the church and social circles. The funeral was largely attended, and the floral offerings most beautiful. Mrs. Walden Banks, one of our undertakers, officiated. The birthday reception tendered Miss Mabel Cromwell of Chebenn, on Monday evening, November 6, by Mr. and Mrs. Boulaure of Park street, was one of the events of the season, and was signalized by a large gathering of our best young men and women, to wish Miss Cromwell many happy returns. Their appreciation was shown in many places, and the present were Misses Rosefield, Marie Ransone, Green, Chammans, Williams, Les, Duncan, Caution, Lew, Cacher Gordon, Foster, Walker and Jordan: Mr. and Mrs. W. Cromwell, Miss Cromwell, Mr. and Mrs. L. Smith, W. W. Bryant and wife, and Mosses, DeCoursey, Bruce, Caution, Keiswil, Robinson, Colley, Armstrong, Lee, Dickson, Carter and Washington, Lunch and were served during the evening and Mosses, White and Whenton furnished music. Mrs. L. S. Ingraham, wife of L. S. Ingraham, principal of the North Georgia Negro Industrial school, is in Cambridge at 57 Museum street, in the interest of her husband's school and will lecture in Boston and vicinity. Mr. Ingraham tendered the Harvard University scholarship last summer to acquaintances that will be most useful to Mrs. Ingraham in her work. The Morgan brothers of Cambridge gave at M. W. hall, corner of Massachusetts avenue and Norfolk street, an entertainment and dance. The entertainers were Miss Rebecca S. McKinney, Miss Rebecca S. McKinney, the humorist and vocalist, Mr. Jefferson, violinist; Miss Fleming, pianist; Messes, Halladay and Riley, dancers; and Mr. Morgan, sketch artist. It was a most creditable affair.

Great Success of a Unique 7-Cent Sorbal —The Lend-a-Hand Club Celebrates Hallowen With Weird Rites— The Work of the West End Minimum. New Bearroad, November 6.—Mr. Frank Hill is seriously ill at the hospital and is undergoing an operation for cancer on the jaw. Miss Nonie Contello has been visiting friends in Providence for a few days. Miss Elizabeth C. Carter accepted an invitation to read a paper at St. Paul's A. M. E. church, Cambridge, last Sunday. Miss Helen Morse has been very sick but is improving. She is the daughter of Mr. Fred Morse. Miss Florence Brown is very sick with erysipelas, but we have recently learned that she is now out of danger. Rev. I. N. Sisco, pastor of Zion church, is in Newark, N. J., having been called to the bedside of his father who is not expected to live. His two daughters received a telegram stating his serious condition and have hastened on. Rev. Taylor of Attleboro, preached at Zion is the afternoon Sunday and a sacred concert was given by the stewardesses in the evening. The seven-cent social held in the church last Thursday evening was a decided success and was well attended. The credit for providing the public with such unique affair must go to Mrs. Besale Bridge of the office. $24 was netted as the result of the offer. Everything or sale was to cost seven dollars the supper table was baskered with hungry patrons. The program consisted of an exercise by several children, followed by tableaux. The Halloween social given by the Laud-Haul hand club of the Union Baptist church at the residence of the Misses Less, drew a large number of friends that filled the house almost uncomfortably. It was a decided success from any point of view, and the ladies deserve all the praise for giving us such a gorgeous Halloween costume. The ladies proached the house a mammoth pumpkin Jack-o-lantern grinned at you. Immediately a ghost appeared and beckoned you to enter and to deposit your entrance for upon a table. When you finished removing your wraps another ghost escorted you into the parlor. In the dining room two more apparitions presided over the considerable sport and laughter occasioned by ludicrous appearance of the young ladies.
