THE MARYLAND VICTORY. PEAR OF DISFRANCISING WHITE A GREAT FACTOR. Result Might Have Been Different Had Poe's Bill Been Differently Drafted Effective Work of Afro-American in Their Own Defence—The Sudrage Lague—Composition of Legislature Precludes Hostile Action During Coming Session—Gov. Warfield Wanted More "Conservative" Bill. Special Correspondence of The AOR. BALTIMORE, November 14.—Maryland, by a majority exceeding 32,000, defeated the Poe disfranchising amendment last Tuesday. The Afro-American voters of the state did not need, any persuasion to vote, and practically all of them who were qualified cast their votes. The colored vote was augmented by the white Repub- lican vote and by that of thousands of white Democrats, foreign and native. The great majority of white Democrats who voted against the measure did not vote against it because they were opposed to Negro disfranchisement, but because they feared white men would lose their votes. Had a measure considered by them more conservative been offered, it is very likely that Maryland would now be classed among the States with disfranchising constitutions. Governor Warfield, who strongly opposed the Poe bill, is said to have favored a measure known as the Worthington bill. This instrument provides that those who voted prior to 1869 and their descendants; those naturalized since 1868 and their descendants; and those paying taxes on $400 worth of property, should be allowed 40 vote. Now, few, if any, Afro-Americans had the right to vote prior to 1868; few, if any, are of foreign birth who have been naturalized; and there are but very few who pay taxes on $400 worth of property. Therefore the Worthington bill, which Governor Warfield and other Democratic Poe opponents favored, would have disfranchised practically all of the Afro-American voters without jeopardizing white votes. The Afro-Americans of Maryland are the gainers by Democratic differences as to the method of disfranchisement. The next State senate will contain 18 Democrats and 9 Republicans, while the house of delegates will be Democratic by only a small majority. This small Democratic majority in the lower house precludes any hostile legislation at the coming session of the legislature. The Suffrage League of Maryland was a distinct factor in defeating the amendment. The league was organized early in 1847 at a large and enthusiastic meeting of representative race men. Kev. W. M. Alexander, D. D., of this city, was elected president, and an active campaign was begun against the reactionary Poe amendment. Meetings were held in various churches throughout the State, literature was sent out, and illiterate voters arrested. Dr. Alexander was aided by Dr. Aro American Ledger, Harry S. Curtis, and hundreds of other well-known colored men. The funds of the league were raised by collections in churches and subscriptions from colored cities. FRANKLIN F. JOHNSON.

A welcome was given Prof. Kelly Miller at St. James Presbyterian church on Friday evening, where he pokes on the Higher Needs of the Nero Raven for an hour he held the close attention of his audience and was given a hearty round of applause when he had shaken. Vocal rehearsal was reheated by Madame W. G. A. French and Monsieur W. Moore and Charles Williams. The address was under the auspices of The Literary League of the Church. Miggins Press B. D. Camille, Allied Firebring Serving, 40-Yope Sumson. Through the efforts of Host. Charles W. Anderson, Edward Douglas Camille, an Afro-American who had served seven years of a forty-year sentence at Clinton prison, on the charge of having set fire to an outhouse on the premises of a family on Long Island for whom he worked, was on November 10 pardoned by Governor Frank W. Higgins. The case of Camille was a very strange one. At the time he was sentenced he was only fifteen years old, an orphan boy, and had been employed by the same family since his ninth year. On the night of the fire he came down stairs and warned the family that he smelled smoke; but a search disclosed no fire, he returned to his room. The next morning it was found that an outhouse in the yard had burned down. Two white children had been playing in the outhouse, but were not injured; neither was any other property damaged. Camille, who had arrested and sword in court that he had confessed to her that he set the building on fire; and on the strength of her testimony the boy received the monstrous sentence of forty years in prison. Even if his mistress's testimony were overcrucial, there is some cloud on it—the sentence would have been outrageously severe. The case was called to Mr. Anderson's attention by Mr. Archie Roberts and others; and he immediately got up a petition to Governor Higgins. The chances were against the success of the petition, because the judge who imposed the sentence is dead, and it was impossible to get any of the jurors or the district attorney to take action in the matter. But, to the credit of Governor Higgins be it said, he made an immediate and careful effort to have counsel, and within ten days after Mr. Anderson's petition sent him the following letter: STATE OF NEW YORK EXECUTIVE CHAMBER Albany, New York Albany, New York 10, 1905. Hon. Charles W. Anderson Collector of Internal Revenue New York city. My dear Mr. Anderson:—In reply to your letter of October 30th, I beg to state that after carefully examining the case of Edward Douglas Camille, I have pardoned him. I am, very truly yours, (Signed.) TRIPLE TEXAS LYNCHING. Three Men Hung on the Charge of Murdering White Farmer. FORT WORTH, Tex., November 12.—A mob two hundred strong at 2 o'clock this morning broke into the jail at Henderson, Tex., by battering down the doors and overpowering the jail officers and took from the cells five Afro-Americans suspected of murdering Elias Howell, white, last Thursday, ten miles from Henderson, Three of them, John Reese, Robert Askew and Henry Sechrorow, were lynched and left hanging to a sycamore tree on the public square. The other two only witnessed the murder of Howell and were not killed. The lynching was done so quietly that people living within a hundred yards of the scene knew nothing about it until daylight. Will Williams, one of the prisoners who escaped lynching, was placed upon a box and forced to tell the mob about the murder of Howell. The hanging of the three men followed the confession of Williams. VOTED FOR DEMOCRATIC MAYOR. Louisville Afro-American Show an Unprotected Independence. LOUISVILLE, Ky. November 13.—Election day was unlucky for the Republicans and Fusionists here, for on the face of the face of the returns Mr. Barth, the Democratic nominee, will be the next mayor. The election here was notable for the independence of the Afro-American voters, for never before did so many of them vote the Democratic ticket. The Afro-American voters here are mostly Republicans in National and gubernatorial elections, but they are learning to cast their votes in city elections for the best candidates regardless of party. The Fusionists ignored the Afro-American vote, as they thought they had a cinch on it and could win without it anyway. The result was victory for the Democrats. Hon. A. S. White stamped the city for the Fusionists, and Hon. D. S. Knight organized the independent Mayor Barth will give them some hand-some recognition in return for their assistance. ALABAMA MILITIA MUSTERED OUT. Capital City Guards Charged With Faults to Jefferson Davis. MONTGOMERY, Ala. - November 9.—The policy of depriving Afro-Americans of the opportunity of bearing arms and learning the military manual, which might fit them for self-defense against oppression, was followed here today when Gov. Jolks mustered out of service the Capital City Guards, the only Afro-American military organization in this State. The governor's pretext: for this action was that the company played and sang "Well Hang Jeff Davis on a Sour Apple Tree," on the main thoroughfare of Montgomery. This charge lays out its resentment, as in Montgomery Davis worship is very bigoted, the capital the rooms in which are kept just as he left them, and are gazed upon through glass doors every day by reverential tankle. Capital City Guards, with their kluki uniforms and shining rifles, have been a feature for years at the commencement parade at Tuskegee Institute. NEARLY LYNCHED WHITE MAN.

CONSUL GREENER A FUGITIVE. He Describes a State of War in Vladi- rostock. A St. Petersburg dispatch to The Eren- ing Telegram says that a state of war has been declared in Vladiostock. Private advices say that the Chinese quarter has been entirely destroyed and that the uprising is now under control. Many persons have been killed and the foreigners have taken refuge on the ships in the harbor. Many public buildings, stores and houses have been pillaged and set on fire by the mob. Details have been received at the American Embassy from Mr. Greener, Consult at, Vladiostock, of the outbreak, which began Sunday afternoon immediately after the departure of the Russian armored cruisers Gromohoi and Rossin. The people, who had gathered in great crowds in the streets, became excited by inflammatory speeches. Many soldiers and sailors were in an angry mood, having expected to go home with the squondrum. The mob began a break shows an arm in the theatre, the Golden Horn Hotel, several blocks of Chinese buildings in the northern part of the city and to the officers' residences and other buildings in the eastern quarter. The fires burned all night. Seventy buildings were consumed. Troops were summoned to restore order and fired frequent volleys, killing many persons. Just before the American Consul telegramged to-day the commandant of the fortress of Vladivostock, assisted by priests and the leaders of the workmen's organizations, addressed the mob, urging them to keep the peace, but the Consul said he feared the attempt would be in vain. Mr. Greener added that twenty-four merchant vessels in the harbor were now crowded with people. The Consul was on board a steamboat when he sent his despatch and he expects to remain there. Susan R. Anthony on Garrison. ROCHESTER, November 18.—Miss Susan R. Anthony will deliver an address at the celebration of the 100th anniversary of the birth of William Lloyd Garrison on December 10 under the auspices of the J. C. Price Literary Union of this city. --- At Little Rock President Roosevelt said: DR. TICE IN MORE TROUBLE. Rev. Bell of Brooklyn Defies Order to Quit St. John A. M. E. Church. Dr. S. Timothy Tice, presiding elder of the New York conference of the A. M. E. church is in trouble again, this time with the St. John A. M. E. church of Brooklyn. The cause is the presiding elder's order to Rey. E. L. Bell, the pastor, to quit his pulpit and take charge of a church at Roslyn, L. L. and to Rev. L. S. Sands of Roslyn, to take Rev. Bell's charge in Brooklyn. Backed by the sisters of his flock, Rev. Bell has refused to obey Rey. Tice's order and declares he will remain as long as the people want. Dr. Tice says that he removed him because the men who confined to the support of the church have left it because of hostility to the pastor and left the congregation liable to be dispossessed because of failure to pay the rent. Rev. Bell returns that Tice wants to remove him because he declared that the congregation, owing to their dislike of Tice, would not pay his presiding elder's assessments. SANG BEFORE THE PRINCE. Mr. Burleigh Readers Some of His Own Compellations. Mr. Harry T. Burleigh sang for Prince Louis of Battenberg last Saturday evening at the residence of Col. and Mrs. Robert M. Thompson, 3 East 90th street. Among the selections rendered by Mr. Burleigh were some of his own composition. He was requested to sing his song "Jean." also in music than plantation melodies. His program was arranged especially for the benefit of the Prince, who paid special attention to his singing. Offered $5,000 for an Invention. PADUCAN, Ky., November 13.—Mr. Henry Urquhart, an Afro-American of this city, is the inventor of an improved brake shoe for heavy locomotives. Services including the Southern, the Illinois Central and the Louisville, Henderson and St. Louis, have highly praised the invention, and a stock company has offered him $5,000 for it. GEORGHY YOUNG, CHIEF GUNNER Angie-African Officer on His Majesty's Ship Drake. New York has been all agog for the past few days over the visit of Prince Louis of Battenberg, in command of King Edward's second cruiser squadron. Among the seamen are seven Englishmen of color. One of the most interesting personages of the entire fleet is George Young, a colored officer of the British navy, who is chief gunner aboard the Prince's flag-ship, the Drake. He was interviewed in his quarters aboard ship and courteously escorted an Ack representative in a tour of inspection of the entire fleet. Chief Gunner Young has had a remarkable life. Born in the United States in Massachusetts, he went to England some twenty years ago; severed his allegiance to the Stars and Stripes, becoming an English subject and enlisted in the British navy. His constant devotion to his duties and his studious attention to gunnery attracting the attention of Lieutenant Tierney. Young was made a gunner's mate on the Burwick. In gun practice he became such an adept—achieving the second highest percentage—that he was promoted after a competitive examination to be gunner on the Burwick. Among those coming under his instructions was Prince Alexander, nephew of Prince Louis of Battenberg, a cadet on the Burwick. Afterwards Mr. Young was transferred to the Drake as chief gunner. Young informed us, and our observation proved his statement, that among his fellow officers he has never been slighted or made to feel the insults of prejudice, but is always treated with the respect becoming his rank just as are the other officers of his station. While we are a patriotic American, as we left the deck of the Drake we felt like crying "Three Cheers for John Bull!" LINCOLN FARMERS' CONVENTION. Principal Allen Urges Owning and Working in Soil. JEFFERSON CITY, Mo., November 14.—The fourth annual Farmers' convention of Lincoln Institute was called to order at 9 a.m. Friday, November 10, by Dr. B. F. Allen, president, "America," with piano and orchestral accompaniment, was sung with enthusiasm by the large audience of students and visiting friends, and the newly organized, but already well-known Lincoln Institute band, played several stirring and patriotic airs. The annual address was then given by Dr. Allen. As a preliminary remark, he stated that one of the main objects of the convention was to show the students assembled the value of farm life and the dignity of labor, and to correct the erroneous impressions relative to working in the soil. He referred to the wonderful resources of Missouri and the value of its land per acre, and urged the students to look forward to purchasing of that land up to Government land and working upon it. He urged the students of political economy that they learn the laws of wealth, the laws of profit, of production and consumption, and entreated them to become producers as well as consumers. He spoke of the necessity of building up excellent communities in various parts of the State and of putting brains into one's work. He deplored the mortgage system which so many seem to invite, and urged the improvement of home life in every way. With literature at reduced rates, rural delivery and telephone connection there is to-day no excuse for ignorance in the farm. The speaker did not wish to be understood as telling everybody to go to the farm; but the race must have its quota of intelligent farmers, working with up-to-date implements and labor-saving devices, if it is to stand the competition of American life. He feared that the American farm may be keeping with the Afro-American girl time of work, and urged the boys to put forth greater and greater effort. At the close of the address "Columbia" was sung by the audience with energy, after which President Allen called for speakers from the student body representing various counties of the State and States of the Union. Among the responses, each speaker dwelling with great pride upon the particular morits of his own county, were the following: For own Calloway county, Benjamin Wynn; Cob's county, Howard county, Richard Jackson; Marion county, Alice Shropshire; Randolph county, Walter Viley; Ray county, Lawrence Kimbrough; St. Francis county, Kitzie Townsend; St. Louis county, Lodie Foard; Saline county, Morton Henderson; and southwest Missouri, Messrs Shack, Leford and Rucker. Texas had an interesting and humorous speaker in William O. Scott, and Kansas in James Saunders of the college department. "Star Spangled Banner" was rendered by the artist, whose closing remarks, in which President Allen cordially thanked all who had helped to make the session a success, the convention was adjourned to meet at an early date, hereafter to be specified, in November, 1906. SHERIFF PREVENTED LYNCHING. Promised Victim's Husband That He Should Spring the Trap. ATLANTA, Ga., November 21—Racing an automobile 30 miles an hour. Sheriff Nolmes dashed into a mob of 500 men who were about to lynch Jim Walker, an Afro-American, for assault on Mrs. Moore, a prominent Atlanta woman, and succeeded in persuading the would-be lynchers to let the law take its course. The rope was around the prisoner's neck and he was being dragged to a telephone pole when the sheriff came. Sheriff Nolmes would probably have failed to save him if he had not been aided by Mr. Moore, husband of the outraged woman. In return for Moore's assistance, Sheriff Nolmes promised that the husband should spring the trap when the man is legally hanged. In pleading with the mob to spare the Afro-American for the law Mr. Moore announced the offer of the sheriff, and declared he proposed to accept it. Walker was badly injured by the mob in the efforts to lynch him and may die before the trial. COONEY MILDLY PUNISHED. PERMANENT TRANSFER AND REPRESIDENT FOR ABSENCE. McAdoo Investigates Charges Against 68th Street Police Station—Witnesses for Protective League Suffered Odd Lapse of Memory and Tried to Whitewash Police Who Had Beaten Them—No Case for Grand Jury, Saya Assistant District Attorney Cardona. After weeks of delay and postponement on the part of Police Commissioner McAdoo, an investigation was at last made by him and Inspector McLaughlin into the charges of abuse and assault of Afro-American citizens in the 68th street police station during the race riots last August. The Colored Citizens' Protective league, which was formed immediately after the riots with the purpose of protecting the rights of Afro-American citizens in Greater New York, preferred charges against Captain Cooney, the sergeant in charge of the station and Officer Robinson. The charges were supported by affidavits collected by Attorney Wilford H. Smith and Mr. Gilchrist Stewart. Our readers will reconsider that Captain Cooney was temporarily transferred. Owing to a number of events which rather deverted the attention of the members of the Protective League and seemed to make it impossible to get a meeting of the executive committee, a small band of the league, composed of President Phillip A. Payton, Roscoe C. Simmons, Fred R. Moore, James E. Gaines, Wilford H. Smith and Gillchrist Stewart, rather than see the matter fall through, determined to argue the hand and push the matter to conclusion. The latter, the group of the very best cases which the race is likely to have against violations of the rights of Afro-American citizens. Mr. Gilchrist Stewart was authorized by President Patton, after consultation with members of the executive committee, to go ahead with the matter and push it to a finish. He engaged the services of John H. McNiel, and collected the witnesses and complainants. Commissioner McAdoo, upon receipt of a communication from Stewart, saying the league was ready for a request to the Inspector, Friday, November 10, at 2 o'clock in Inspector McLaughlin's offices in the 68th street station. The plaintiffs and the league were represented by Gilchrist Stewart in the absence of Counsel Wilford H. Smith. It was proved that the men were beaten in the station, even in the face of the fact that statements and affidavits had been procured by the police from three of the colored men present that night in the station to the effect that the police had been made ordinary on that occasion and giving everybody concerned a clean bill. There was only one complainant positive in his identification of a policeman, and that was Robert Christopher, whose leg was broken in the station. But he was contradicted by several of the others, who asserted they saw the officer in question during the beating on the outside at the desk. There was an odious disposition to whitewash the police on the part of the man who had been made ordinary. The much cannot be said in praise of Christopher, Frozier and Flynn, who could not be "beached" in this matter at all and who stuck by their testimony throughout this whole affair. As a result of the investigation Captain Cooney's transfer was made permanent and a tacit understanding was reached that as long as the present management of the police department continued he will never be placed in charge of any precinct having many Afro-Americans in it. An official reprimand was given him for an arrest from the station on the night of the fire. If some of the witnesses had had better memories more would have been accomplished. But after the punishment of Captain Cooney it will be a long while before police captains sufficiently forget it to repeat his offense, even if, as he asserted, he was absent at the time of the beating. Assistant District Attorney Cardoza, who investigated the entire affair, included the death of Moody, and who also was inspector of Lougain at this time had been convicted of an evidence been unable to make a case for indictment by the grand jury. A meeting of the League will be called soon to hear reports, and make the League a permanent and systematic organization. JACKIE WEDS N. J. GIRL. Wedding Breakfast on U. S. Ship Illinois—Groom Sails Away. HACKENSACK, November 13.—One of the prettiest weddings of the autumn was that of Miss Fanny Pratt of Hackensack to Mr. John Harvey of Darlington, S. C. The ceremony was performed at the A. M. E. Zion church parsonage by Rev. W. H. Batcheler on Wednesday evening. November 5. The bride was becoming attired in steel albatross.

Zion church. The infant son of Mr. and Mrs. Williams of South Second street, was buried Sunday, afternoon from the parents' residence. Rev. W. H. Batcheler officiated at both funerals. The stock visited the home of Mr. and Mrs. Williams of South Second street; it was a girl. Mother and child are doing well. Mrs. William Hire was in Jersey City Sunday visiting-Mrs. Milton Johnson. Mr. Robert Diggs of Petersburg, Va. is in town visiting his cousin, Mrs. William Hire, Mrs. W. H. Batcheler and Masters James and Joseph, and Mr. and Mrs. I. G. Bowman, were in New York Saturday to see the British and American squadrons lying in the Hudson. Cricket Season of 1895 Closed. At the Hotel Cosmopolitan, Chambers street and West Broadway, a meeting was held on Monday evening, 13th inst., by the New York Cricket association, to report on the winners of the various prizes.

Captain Whitney of mild occasion in quite remarkable form at West Indian Club was re-represented by H. S. Almquist, R. S. Alexander and W. T. Connors. Narrow Messages of Afro-Americans Who Vegetated to Attend the Performances—Only "Jim Crow" Negroes World Have Come, Anyhow—Respect of Narrowwomen—Themms of Bury Will Have Named "Themms" Bernardine McKinney ATLANTA, Ga. November 13—"The Clansman" is still dragging its ally, serpentine length through the Booth and rekindling fires of prejudice that had been thought well nigh extinguished. The play, from all accounts, is nothing short of treason, but its coming has served to accentuate the fact that down this way there are Afro-Americans totally devoid of race pride. Whatever is offered for their humiliation and shame is a sweet morsel in their mouths. To them proscription and prejudice mean but little and they will go a long way from the everyday path in order to receive gratuitous insult. The matter of going where they are positively not wanted and where, on that account, they will most obviously be harshly treated, amounts to a craise with them, even when by staying away they will lose nothing and retain their self-respect. To be sure, it is not always expedient or profitable to stay away from places because you are not wanted for not infrequently if happens that your interests are enhanced by going to them; but there are certain places that could be severely let alone with profit to one's self, and with respect for the race with which one is identified. The theatre back alleys in the South "are glaring examples. When "The Chairman" showed in Sasanahah a riot was narrowly inverted and a young Afro-American doctor perched high in what is locally styled the "buzzard roost" can near being seriously hurt in an attempt to jump out of the window. In Muen, Gia., the white audience not only kissed the Afro-Americans in the gallery, but apparently wanted to lynch some of them in the playhouse on general principles. In Atlanta, at the first performance, an Afro-American who applauded one part of the play had his head hit with a club for his tenacity. At the second performance, a well-dressed, white newspaper reporter, who had witnessed the rough treatment given Afro-Americans at the prior performance, met one or two of them whom he knew at the theatre door and advised them not to go in—but to no purpose. Before the performance was over she, through cowardly fright, attempted to sneak out when things were getting too warm but were not permitted. In fact, the whole Afro-American contingent was held in the theatre until after those were gone in order that the black people might not be harshly dealt with. It is not an explanation to say that these people were 'present not knowing the character and plot of the play. The Savannah doctor and his coterie of friends must have been his most important Atlanta people, too, certainly had good reason to believe that their presence was not only not desired but that it was ill advised. But all the same they went, though some of them were advised not to go. It is this clash to which reference was made in the book, who are nothing good in their own race. To them an Afro-American newspaper or magazine is a source of source; an Afro-American merchant or business or professional man, a predestined failure; and any enterprise engaged in by people of the era its fit subject to the black race is a huge failure, themselves of course excluded. They are the first to intrude and whine at the white man's feet and the first to wait for "race unity" when they are punched. And they are not always of the ignorant class, for in most every community there are people who are not educated. To them there is absolutely no such thing as merit in the race. They do not need any Afro-American to furn them with the knowledge of coal, or their medicine, or medical attention. They also do not, wish to be buried by that kind of an undertaker, but they have to make out with him what kind won't bury them for love or money. Fortunately for the race this class is in a very small minority though what they lack in numbers they make up in general cussethes in the their corps. Their corps are far more special love for them on this account by the whites, and yet they keep at it. They do not even receive the favor and encouragement recorded to what used to be known as the weak prototypes, and who many respects were superior to them. Thee President has been, gone from this section about two weeks. During this interval there have been found only six good old Afro-American ladies who had to wait for her husband, however, are not all yet in and there is a general feeling that there are others. It is confidently believed that if it had been the President's father instead of his mother who lived in Roswell there would have shown up at this time. He is now married to a hired Afro-Americans who served in the capacity of coachman or butlers. Anyhow, all living who once resided anywhere within thirty miles of the town remember having seen the good lady, whether they did or not might be an open mouth saw her son. For this purpose all sorts and conditions of ancient vehicles were requisitioned. Old fashioned "phantoms", guilless of paint and with wheels that were as unsteady as human chirity, two wheeled oxcarts looked to faithful steers, to long miles--all here their complement of humanity to see the Nation's chief executive. And a happy crowd it was. Some compared him, in books, to Abraham Lincoln, whose picture they had taken. But the exact reproduction in features of his good mother, it was worth the contents of a pay envelope to stand around and listen. Of course all were of one mind that the President could be nothing but a good man, and down in every heart was the conviction that this man was their friend; but nothing, by word or action, was said or done to give offence to anybody. It was a reasonable, quiet, but without a happy, cooperative, togetherman with a slick hat of unfortunate vintage to the smiling habe in its mother's arms. And there was not a discordant far anywhere. A spirit of good nature seemed toanimate the crowds on all sides been able to judge in good black and white, were living among each other in perfect peace and harmony. But it was the Afro-American most of all who enjoyed good things. It was the day of the day when he could be called "Theodore." On long winter nights around blazing log fires reminiscent of the day will be rehearsed—the day the President visited the former home of his mother. THOMAS II. MALONE. We read in the papers a day or two ago, of a case where a respectable colored man entered a restaurant, ut down, and after being inward by the waiters for some time, stopped one of them and attempted to give an order, whereupon he was told that "Nagroos were not served there." There was soaps discussion over the occurrence, threats of a lawsuit, and the matter got into the papers, which said some unpleasant things on both sides, but what came of it we did not learn. JUVENILE CONCERT IN YONKERS. Zone Supper and Nursery Tableau the Novel Feature—Personala. YONKERS, November 13.—On Thursday evening, November 2, a juvenile concert was given in the A. M. E. Zion church under the auspices of the Sunday school. An excellent program was rendered and much credit is due Mrs. W. J. Spinnie for the pleasing nursery exercises and the "Old Woman in the Shoe" as rendered by the little folk. Among the numbers of the program were: Recifications by Miss Josephine Francis and Evangeline Sinto; piano solo by Miss Fredda Griffin, which was very pleasing; and a violin duet by Masters Walter Brown and Walter Gidlings. The two young violinists elicited the usual applause. After the program, the Zone Supper, which was the novelty of the evening, was served. The lecture room was warmed and the temperate and torrid. In the fridged zone cream and cake were served; various salads and sandwiches were served in the temperate zone and hot coffee and clam chowder were for sale in the torrid zone, and hunting. Mrs. B. Scott had charge of the program. On Friday evening after the regular routine of business, the members of Heroodge gave a reception in their rooms to Midge, who was their members, who left the city Tuesday for New York West. A pleasant time was enjoyed. On Friday evening a surprise party was tendered Miss Sissie Thompson, who has been visiting friends and relatives in New York city, by a number of friends. Now, the party was had by those present. Karious games had indulged in and refreshments were served. Miss Sissie Frey of this city, has a number of copies of Prof. Kelly Miller's reply to Thomas Dixon. Everyone interested in the race and its welfare should peruse the materials. Rev. Snyer at both services at the A. M. E. Zion church Sunday preached instructive and eloquent sermons to large audiences.

Crusso, has arranged an elaborate program for the unveiling ceremony, which will take place in the afternoon. PHILADELPHIA, November 15—There were quite a few weddings the past week, which were attended by worthy representatives of the old families and new families. As is usual at weddings of importance, there was no age limit, there being quite as many older people out as members of the younger sets. There was a brilliant display of new gowns. House parties go on with uninterrupted regularity, different out-of-town guests arriving and departing in what a popular hostess says is an almost too methodical and business-like manner. North Philadelphia and West Phila delphia are both gay, with the difference that at West Philadelphia the week end is much livelier. At North Philadelphia the entertaining goes on all the year round, only, as has often been said, with a shifting of the performers on the stage. One meets the same people, dines at the same hour, plays whist with the same partners, so that after all it is a mere matter of routine, albeit an exceedingly pleasant routine. In Central Philadelphia house parties are the rule, which are attended by just the right number of married and unmarried people and just the right ones to be very enjoyable and exclusive. Coming-out teas and receptions will fill the days preceding the Christmas holidays. Although only one or two dates have been decided upon, a number are under consideration. Several entertainments have already been given for Miss Thomas and Mr. R. Myers. One of the most notable was a dinner party given by Mrs. Reno on North 22d Street. Mr. and Mrs. I. R.

All doubt regarding Battles Nelson's right to be called the lightweight champion of the world has been removed. The other day, Gans, in a talk with a Baltimore newspaper man, admitted that he could not reduce to 133 pounds ringlead again and remain strong. Gans said that in the future ex-champion would have to be tacked before his name, and that if he ever fought again, which is doubtful, he would have to do battle at either catchweight or near the wetterweight limit, 142 pounds. Gans held his title for many years and was a conspicuous figure in pugilism while he was in the limelight. Gans might have been in very popular fighter but for his shady methods in the ring. Even his bitter enemy must admit that he was one of the best fighters in many years. Up to Gans's advent the honors belonged to Kid Lavigne. The "Saginaw kid" was a fighter in every sense of the word. He never flinched in the face of punishment and was ever ready to mix it up with anybody at or near his vigour, though did not possess the general skill, speed, science and craftsmanship that were the colored men's stock in trade. Gans in his heyday was an exceptionally clever man. He is still scientific, but he lacks the fire and ability to knock his own opponent's jaw and, with so much force, two-handed fighter. He had the knack of bringing one of those short arm shoots seemingly from nowhere. These blows would invariably find a lodging place on his opponent's jaw and, with so much force, two-handed fighter, able to recover his equilibrium before ten or twenty seconds had elapsed. The physique of Gans never suggested that of a hard puncher. He looked more like a boxer than a fighter. Still he was both boxer and a combination in the pugilist of to-day. There always has been some doubt as to whether Gans was really game fighter. This trait received many tests in many of his counterparts. He has been accused of using counters. He has been accused of using counters. When he fought Frank Erne at the old Broadway in C. C., this city, Gans was making excellent progress and, to all appearances, it looked as if he would win. He was not, however, the only one to tinue, saying that Erne had hutted him in the eye. There was no doubt about Gans suffering from an injury, for he displayed his optic and showed a deep gash. Those who were at the ringside said that he was not a good fighter. Erne delivered in a fair way. Yet Gans would not go on, and the fight was over. Those who had backed him were dumfounded over his action, and denounced him for his reputation. The fight gave Gans reputation, but the block rumors that he deliberately quit because of a lot of money that had been placed on him to lose by those who had been previously tipped off. This fact, though, proved, so the reverse must be laid to Gans' cowardice more than anything else. Still in other fights in which Gans has been a principal he gave the impression that he was a courageous pugilist. Forance, when he fought Joe Waltcott at Lincoln, when he fought Gans at all, Gans received a sound thrashing. Yet at the end of the mil he was up and doing, and the verdict of the mil was a draw. In a lot of other combats Gans has shown his stare and never wavered when he got into a scrap. Gans has been accused of faking his stare, and he has allowed any of his rivals to get to his wrist often. No matter how learned in the manly art a fighter may be, he is almost certain to receive several hard thumps on his form, and never wavered when he got into a scrap. Gans has been good grounds, too, for this suspicion. When he met Terry McGovern at Chicago, when Terry was at the height of his fame, the Negro's showing was far his form. He allowed McGovern to get his stare, and he was knocked out in a hurry. This battle had all the carmarks of being a hip-drome, and for years Gans was buried from fighting in the Windy City. He indulged in the same practices at San Francisco, and counted them. Today the ban has been made general. There are few cities now where Gans can get on a match. Even Baltimore, where the Negro makes his home, and where he was born, has turned into a business, in gambling and other enterprises, while he was in the ring, but it is doubtful whether he can show much for his long campaign. Gans likes to flirt with Dame Fortune, and most of his friends are in gambling and other enterprises, too, he is said to be as poor as George Dixon, another wonderful Negro pugilist. Whether Nelson can hold the lightweight title as long as Gans hold it remains to be seen. The Dane is young and he is in good care of himself. He is in love with his son and besieged is anxious to make all the money he can. He realizes that the only way he can do this is to remain on top. Nelson may be compared with Kid Layne, but Nelson is similar. Lavigne never paid much attention to his health and strength. The Dane does, however, Nelson is clever in his way and a stiff puncher with both hands. He is a right hand swing. There are many who would like to see Gans and Nelson have it out.

Boston, November 18.—It would be most difficult to make one not to the most mature born in America understand so who outrages extremes and novel American color prejudice against the Negro pushes itself in the United States. For in a land so loudly heartful of the Christianity a foreigner might very well suppose that the spirit of Jesus have some influence in combatting the wicked race antipathy which characterizes acts of the white people of the country wherever the colored people are involved. Yes, the American church on the subject is one of the harsest bits of Christianity, the world has ever witnessed. For while it pretends to believe in the brotherhood of man and the fatherhood of God as taught by the Founder of Christianity, it does not believe in the law at all. It preaches one thing daily in the work and practices quite ordinary on that very day, as well as on the other six days. seven years ago the American church builtwork of American slavery. It lay by the bulwark of American color on this subject it is rotten to the top of it to the bottom of it, and is no good thing in it, no good thing in an image, upon the color of a man in his character. What is it to a spirit whether one has a white skin or a black heart? It is upon the skin that it looks not upon the pigment of the face. And if this spirit finds a heart joined to a black face will it face a white face? If the saving and superlative of the white heart? We think not. We know not. But such surely is not the case with the spirit of the American church. For it will condone any sin, social or otherwise, more than it will tolerate, the crime of being himself in the heart of the white heart of Jesus Himself, could not atone to it were it animated in a black body. Let Jesus return to earth and be born again of Jesus Negro mother. Would the American church be him in the Sunday in the South to hear Him, Gospel preached, and where would He have to sit, think you? In the body of the church where His white skin is still. Will He him to do so? In Him in the old times would be easier by the side of the storm which he attempted on His part would raise Him in every Southern church. In Him with any visible admixture of Norwegian church and try to touch the body, the social life of His disciples in particular Northern church, and He would wonder how little His white heart would watch in the scenes in His favor. He would watch in the heart of the poor that, too, from pulpit. From pulpit to new He will find the spirit, the spirit of American church. He would find Himself still fully received everywhere in the heart of the home He would be written in huge letters, "You cannot hear if you are colored." The story told in post of the Episcopal church is no less when told of the ever-whole church in America than man who had tried in vain to obtain admission to the Episcopal church took his failure finally to Jesus, who comforted him with the promise that He, Jesus, had been trying to be his brother, and that he had not yet succeeded! The American church has never understood the time spirit of the Master embodied in words of His, "Inasmuch as you to the least of these, me, the same as you to the least of these, my brother, unto me." That church has understood, or it has never attempted to Christian sympathy and service, in the Negro. The Negro displaced, Nero trampled on, the Negro deceived and cruelly treated in a thought under its knees to his needs, the spirit of Jesus in his heart. We over the church does for him, he as for a Negro, as to infinitely beneath it in the so infinitely beneath it in the is the thing conceivable were on earth to day He His countenance a church for white people.

On this Negro question it is a whited sepulchre, full of hypocrisy and the narrow pride of race, and the cruelty of race. ARCHIBALD H, GRIMKE. GORMAN'S DOWNFALL. Maryland Will Not Soon Re-Attempt Diffranchisement. No incident of the general battle of the bosses is more exhilarating than the defeat of Senator Gorman and his vicious amendment to the Constitution of Maryland, disfranchising not merely most of the Negroes of the State, but thousands of white voters of foreign birth as well. This amendment, as we have pointed out, had as its real motive the perpetuation of the Gorman machine. Under the pretense of saving the State from Negro domination which was not even remotely threatened, Gorman did his best to stir up race antimony and hatred. He had seen how unscrupulous demagogues to the south of him had utilized fear and dislike of the Negro as an easy means of getting into office and fortifying themselves in it, and so he began to attack the South. Tillman, Vardham and "Jeff" Davis. More than that, Gorman decided to do over these low politicians by the disfranchising amendment drawn by him and John P. Poey. No measure so grossly unfair an object was ever enacted by any of the States farther south with their far larger Negro population. Like Cox and others, Gorman overroached himself. The split in his own party caused by the refusal of Senator Raymond F. Frost and attorney Gorman Bryan to stomach the amendment assured its defeat. We wish we might add that the defeat of the amendment was due solely to a chitrullous desire to champion the rights housed "Negro" troops, which would be his without question, save for the pigments of his skin. To portray the situation candidly, it must be admitted that this was a mistake, and the men from disfranchisement, however illiterate, dirty, or disreputable, had a good deal to do with the unhorsing of German. None the less, the friends of the Negro have reason to be sad, and the men from disfranchisement it goes. That there will be another attempt to disfranchise the colored voters is already predicted by *The Baltimore Sun* this morning. But we incline to the belief that it will be some time before the loss has burned his fingers badly. Unfortunately, Senator Gorman, the politician, has as many lives as a cat. One would be tempted to write his obituary to day were it it was possible to emboss the name on his political gravestone. Senator Gorman, Machiavellian in his shrewdness, and utterly devoid of principle, will probably continue to be one of the most despicable characters in our world. At his doers was properly laid that shipwrecking of the Wilson tariff bill which was so intimately connected with the subsequent downtfall of the Democratic party. Thanks largely betrayed by his counsel, Judge Parker's campaign failed to lay due stress upon the tariff issue, which properly played, would have been his beat card. Naturally, Gorman was opposed. He knew largely that his counsel interests are closely allied with those of others who profit by robber tariffs. For this reason alone there would be cause to rejoice that Gorman has received another house, Gorgerestday's Maryland, but he kept up this host, like Cox, finds that "years"—and wounds—make it desirable for him to give up party management for the party's good. NO HELP IN SUPREME COURT. From The The Supreme Court of the United States has added another to its long list of anti-Megra decisiona. This time Judge Emory Speer of the Southern Federal district of Georgia has been revered in the Henry Jamison case. The prijoner was a colored man, an old family servant, who was arrested March 13, 1904, upon the charge of being drunk and disorderly. He was fined a thousand and in default of the arrest thereof was committed to county chain-gang for 210 days. In this case iron manacles, were riveted upon the legs of the prisoner and he was made to wear the armband, he was conject. Judith held that he had been conjected by due process of law and that infamous punishment for a midemean and without—accompany—him—jury-trial as such punishment could not be legal; he saved, save upon convict tion for the Supreme Court of the United States, contrary to its usual custom, convened Judge Sneer without even giving a written opinion and thereby assigned Henry Jamison to further punishment at the hand of the chain-gain officials of Georgia. We reiterate in view of the present commission of that Federal criminal, that justice that we can get from our State supreme courts, we shall do without. BROOKLYN AREA FOR STUDENTS Chicago Afro-American Home Rep- rated 850,000 Company in England Kansas 98 Public—New Amherst Defibrillation in Gettling Point— L. M. Garcia Urges Afro-American Publishing House. Beginner Correspondence of Fun Am. CHICAGO, November 13—One of the most interesting and daring business ventures ever put-on foot by the colored people of Chicago is the organization and incorporation of the Black Diamond Development company. The name in no way suggests the purpose and possibility of the company, for its immediate purpose is the production of oil in the Kansas oil fields. The company is organised on a strictly commercial basis. There seems to be no element of speculation in this enterprise. The promoters of the company learned of an opportunity to secure eighty acres of land situated in southern Kansas, in Niobia county, the center of an extensive oil region. The land is surrounded by oil wells and dividend-paying companies and is within a few feet of the Standard Oil pipe line. Before purchasing the land, at a cost of $15,000, the promoters had the advice and services of an expert in the oil production business; and it was not until every phase of the situation was canvassed that the land was purchased and incorporation of the company completed. Several thousand dollars has already been purchased to begin drilling for the oil. The Black Diamond company in incorporated with a capital stock of $500,000. The shares of stock are $1 each at par and are fully paid and non-assailable. Among the promoters and directors are Currey, S. Loing Williams, E. J. Fisher, A. Willberforce Williams, Ulysses G. Page and S. A. Griffin. The men behind this enterprise have been moving in the business in a conservative but determined manner. They have been particular in making provisions for safe-guarding their assets. They have made themselves sure that they are operating in proved territory. It is perhaps not generally known that Kansas has become the greatest oil field in the United States, both in the quality of the oil and in the people who have roped fortunes out of their investments in oil lands in Kansas, and if this company of Afro-Americans fails to pave a fortune out of this daring venture, the company will be an exception. The only thing needed, when you have in your possession a piece of oil territory, is business sense, honesty and money. Dr. George E. Griggs of Nashville, Tenn., was a delegate to the National Baptist convention recently held in this city and was one of the conspicuous figures in the convention. Dr. Griggs is the author of the book *The Race problem, among them being Imperium in Imperio.* "Overshadowed," "Infestated" and "The Hindered Hand." those books have had an extended reading life. The author of the book *author is an ardent student of conditions at close range and possesses the spirit of the true proverb, delicately himing that through the task of undoing the wrong that thronged his land own adventure and that of his race. Dr. Griggs seems to think that it is not necessary that we should all agree on the way we should treat that we should rather agree to be honest, fair, frank and cordial in our differences. If such books as this young author have could have a wider audience, we would have a better feet would undoubtedly be to counteract much of the unchallenged falsehood contained in the books of the Dixons, the generation of anti-Nero authors. Have you your manuscript ready for the printer? Take the advice of one who knows by sad experience, and write it yourself. You can write it now, and save postage also. Don't try to comfort yourself by believing that the publisher is prejudiced. In very many cases the publisher, who prefers to admonition that it is "not available," is your best friend. He has saved you from the mercies' critics, to whose lastings you would have exposed yourself. If you want to be weak and "unavailable" to the publisher, you ought to be brave enough to accept his judgment. The rule is that you must be reasonably sure that you yourself are a publisher. You should publish believe it. If you write an impossible story and don't know it, you have simply mistaken your calling. There is nothing more rare than good literature, and it is written and read that passes for such. The colored race has made some contributions to American literature of permanent merit. What has been done in the past in the field of literature? Our great care should be to keep us to the standard of our best achievements. There is a tendency of the present day to call every book written by colored authors many people whose opinions are of some value will carelessly and indiscriminately praise anything and everything that is in book form. Those who are competition against a man that favors favor should do so without fear or blemence. We are having thrust upon us too many badly written books and poorly constructed and written stories in some of our magazines. Such publishers are not afraid to nuisance and evil in their reflections upon us, as a race, as bad laws. In speaking of his experience as an author, Dr. Griggs justly complains that his books are not to print and publish books of colored authors. He declares that the same publishers who will turn down his manuscript that contains an answer to an inquiry and that is published by Secreto will readily publish anything that Dixon, might offer. Dr. Grigszi's solution of this new difficulty is to establish and endow a thoroughly well-optimized publishing house, to be owned and managed by colored people. To the consummation of task he has determined to develop his life and be blessed that he has been intermed with much encouragement, and he talks like one who is sure of the complete success which we most all wish for him.

J. ALIENS IN THEIR OWN COUNTRY. African Children Thus Termed by Law Under Certain Conditions. From The Lagos (West Africa) Weekly Record. The abstinence of the law is proverbial, yet there are certain commonenance folk who have the hard-headed temerity to contend that it is modicum of folly combined with legal wisdom which helps to render the law unintelligible. There are not wanting instances at times to show that this contention is not so far fetched after all; while the practice uniformly obtaining with legislative bodies to constantly repeal and amend the laws enacted by them, shows that they realize not only that it is not infallible and that like other mortals it is not able to develop into folly. It would be one such instance of miscare of wisdom or rather illustration of redundant legal folly exists in our local statute knowr or at least who does knowr to know, knows or at least who knowr that "an alien" means in its common sense, or rather accepted signification a foreigner, one owing allegiance or belonging to another country different from that in which he resides; or a foreign-born resident of his country, he does not possess the privileges of a citizen of ordinary ordinances however, the term "alien" rather "alien child" is given quite a different meaning; and it is astonishing and indeed humiliating to find in an ordinance the provision for the protection of alien children in Larges the term "alien child" is given the following meaning: "Allen child" means any person under the age 21 years whose parents were natives of Africa or a foreign country registered in accordance with the law of birth, relating to the registration of birth. The anomaly—we will not use the more appropriate word "adultery"—of the foregoing definition is all too obvious. It is registration and not "allegiance" which is made to determine citizenship in the present law. The effect of the law is to transfer the citizenship from the King to the King for births and deaths. This bit of legal folly finds an might have been expected, corollary to in legal oddities in the present age. Allen children. Thus a child born before registration area at Shute Mt. become registered, while a child born at Korodn, Fiji, entryng portions of the Colony are claimed under the ordinance as allones were time this prodigious legal humbund was trawn from the local statute book to which it does anything but add inure. 1890 To 761 Fulton St., Brooklyn DR.

The notable falling off in Republican strength in most of the States in the elections of November 7, where elections were held, is symptomatic of a restiveness among Republican partisans which is by no means a growth of the immediate present, but has its roots deep in the organism of the party, dating from the Presidential squabble and base surrender of 1976-7. The astounding pluralities which the Republican candidates received in the Presidential elections last year were manifestation of the same restiveness among Democratic voters, which while not indicating any accession of affection for the Republican party showed that the weakness of Democratic men and measures made it possible to annihilate them by the strength of Republican men and measures, in which the unprecedented popularity of President Roosevelt was a dominating factor. With nothing but local and State issues at stake in the late elections the tremendous vote of last year for the Republican tickets was shattered to shreds in Pennsylvania and Ohio, and badly shaken in several Republican strongholds. The Republican party has passed through three crucial periods: (1) the war period, from 1850 to 1870; (2) the Reconstruction period, from 1870 to 1880; (3) the economic period, from 1880 to 1904. A little reflection will show, by studying the several periods we have indicated, how far the Republican party has proceeded from the principles which brought it into being in 1856, and animated it until 1880, when the war issues gave place to economic issues, to the exclusion of all other issues for a period of fourteen years. The Republican party to-day bears no resemblance whatever to the Republican party of 1860. Its leaders are new men who knew little of slavery and the war and who care very little for the Afro-American people, because of whose condition the party was brought into being. But there has been, unfortunately, small change in the politics of the Afro-American people, despite the fact that their partisan fealty has been one of the main causes of their losing nearly all of the civil and political rights which the War Amendments guarantee to them. The Republican friends have stood by with folded arms and sardonic grins while the Democratic enemies have despoiled the Afro-American people of their civil and political rights in all of the States of the South. At the end of President Roosevelt's term of office it is highly probable that we shall have a condition of the Republican party vastly different from what it is to day and from what it has been since 1880. The position of opposition which Senator Joseph B. Foraker took in the recent Ohio campaign to the new policy of Federal control of public service corporations, for which President Roosevelt stands, is but a forewarning of the opposition which may be expected to develop among Republicans in Congress at the next session, and which will be communicated to the rank and file of the party. The Republican party is bound to have a general shake-up of its membership as the result of the radical policy of Federal control of public service corporations, which President Roosevelt has set his heart upon. Whether the party will emerge from the conflict, in the next Presidential election, a triumphant or a defended party remains to be seen; but certain it is that it will not emerge as a party of plutocratic interests, with full right to plunder the public, as it is now and has been for fourteen years. The great corporate and industrial interests, which our existence, for good and evil, to the Republican party, will no longer stand by it when the Republican party makes an honest effort to control those interests more fairly for the public weal. So much has already been made manifest. Let the Republican party purge itself of its plutocratic dead weight and it will have a continuation of great usefulness. And out of it all if the Afro-American emerges a winer and more judicious voter it will be well for him, in the effort to regain the civil and political rights which he has lost by sticking to the Republican What President Roosevelt Said and Did Not Say in the South. All sorts of conclusions have been advocated as to President Roosevelt's real feelings at this time toward the Afro-American people and the undemocratic and maliciously unjust condition of affairs which has been created by Southern Democratic marriages, and which they have striven to impose upon the sentiment of the Republic, without substantial effect, we are glad to say, in which the rights of the Afro-American people are trampled under foot as if they had no warranty in the fundamental law of the Republic. These conflicting conclusions have grown out of the recent visit of President Roosevelt to the Southern States. In the last issue of The Ace we had something to say of the opinions about this matter which some Afro-American editors hold, and they are a fair barometer of Afro-American opinion all of the time. he is himself half Southern by birth." "The President, by his speeches—by what he put out of them as well as by what he taken in—them—may fairly be said to have taken in a new attitude on the Southern question, even though he has announced no new policy nor expressly renounced the old." "Through all it, all is true, they (the white South) have clung with a tenacity that compels admiration, to certain social and political ideals that differentiate them from other Americans. If there has been any conversation on that subject, it is rather the President than the South that has seen new light." "The Negroes, one would infer from the Tuskegee speech, are to look to their own exertions and to private philanthropy, rather than to the Government and to party, for the betterment of their state and perhaps for the gradual recovery of their political rights." "If, meanwhile, the Negro shall seem to be sacrificed, it may be well for his political champions to consider whether, after all, political championship is what he at present most imperative needs." All of which is not flattering to the courage and consistency of President Roosevelt, and none of which we believe to be the feeling or the attitude of President Roosevelt, who still believes, we are sure, in the equality of all citizens under the law, and for a "square deal" for all men. He went to the South, and the white South received him gladly; but he said nothing and did nothing to indicate that he has changed in anything. On the contrary, in his speeches he did not recode from a single position on the Afro-American's rights and duties as a citizen; nor did he, at any time or place, differ from the views on the subject he has expressed in the North. When compared with the speeches of President McKinley, who made a similar trip several years ago, President Roussevelt's speeches are in the highest degree encouraging. On the question of education and of moral and economic development, he went further than any other President has ever gone. He emphasized in strongest words, in his Tuskegee speech, that the Afro-American should be "protected in property, in life and in all his legal rights." Nothing could have been finer than his rebuke to the notorious Governor Jefferson Davis, right in the center of the State over which he rules. Governor Davis, in his introduction of the President—and for some reason or other this introductory speech was suppressed by the Governor—attempted to justify lynching for certain crimes, when the President turned to him and thunderous tones said: "And, above all men, Governor, you and I, and all who are exponents and representatives of law, owe it to our people, owe it to the cause of civilization and humanity, to do everything in our power, officially and unofficially, directly and indirectly, to free the United States from the menace and reproach of lynch law." But in order that our readers may get a clearer idea of some of the strong things that President Roosevelt did say in the South we reproduce on the first page of The Age to-day some of the words he uttered at Tuskegee, Jacksonville and Little Rock. The extracts destroy the argument of assumption employed by Mr. William Carrott Brown, and other Southern white men who have striven to place the President in a (false) position. The Association of Afro-American Wind-Jammers and Knockers has decided that downright lying is the best way to success in their business. The whole pool of them appears to have reached theirclusion, so that it is difficult to believe anything any of them says with his mouth or with his pen. --- It should be generally known that ten thousand copies of the article, "Why Disfranchisement is Bad," by Hon. Archibald H. Grimke, which appeared in The Atlantic Monthly some time ago, were distributed among the white voters in Maryland, and that the influence of the article had a great deal to do with the defeat of the Post amendment. Honorary Abolitionist. From The Burton (I.A.) Gasse We are glad that our citizens are taking an active interest in the Garson centennial. A suggestion has just been made. We think it worthy of consideration. It is this. That all the various organizations of Burton—churches, schools, K. M. C. A., secret societies—all take part and form a representative meeting. Let this be done at once. Let a committee from each meet and decide upon a program. From The Red Hank (N. J.) Mall and Kirksey The 10th of December next will mark the 100th anniversary of the birth of William Lloyd Garrison. Every late Yigent Afro-American in the country knows who he was. The race never had a better and truer friend, and probably never will have another half as stunned and true. The Afro-American people of the country are preparing to celebrate the day in general, which will be a thing entirely befitting and proper for them to do. From The Nashville Clarion. "We heartily second the motion of Dr. Becker T. Washingon that the Negroes of the entire country join in and celebrate in some fitting manner the 100th anniversary of the birth of the famous abolitionist, William Lloyd Garrison. The date is December 10th, and coming on Sunday, it will be especially convenient for our people to turn out on mance at the churches and lymeans to honor to the memory of the people who sacrificed all that was dearest in life that we might enjoy the blessings of freedom. From The Detroit Inferior. Professor Booker T. Washington writes a letter to The Free Press of this city in which he urges both white and colored people to celebrate, the hundred anniversary of the birth of William Lloyd Garrison. In his letter Professor Washington says: "I cannot, as a member of the race which he most served, refrain from urging upon the public the importance of one hundredth anniversary shall be of such a character as to do credit to our entire country. More and more, as the years pass by, all of us are enjoying the fruits of Garrison's work, and we should keep before this and coming generations the lesson of bravery, the nature of his services to mankind and the republic." From The Buxton (Ja.) Gazette We are glad the newspapers are taking so kindly the suggestion of Mr. Washington, that the one hundredth anniversary of Garrison be observed. This is well, Mr. Washington as usual makes timely suggestions. It seems to us that the newspapers should at least show three things in connection with this celebration. First that the great anti-slavery movement in the United States has made world-wide anti-slavery movement of that time; second, that many great anti-slavery leaders had lived here in America before Garrison's time; third, that about a hundred years ago, the best thinking men of the South were not favor of slavery. All this should be shown, but not in an effort to dim the greatness of Mr. Garrison. They cannot we here in Buxton celebrate the anniversary of the first ministers can preach sermons in the morning, for December 10 comes on Sunday, and then in the afternoon have union services in the hall. We can have a program by the occasion and the occasion. Let we take it once a once and prepare for it now. Let us not put it off till the last minute. From The Brunswick (Ga.) Herald Elsewhere in this issue will be found a suggestion from Principal Washington talt the next birthday of the great abolitionist, William Lloyd Garrison, be observed by the American Negroes everywhere in this country. This is a very good suggestion, indeed, and we urgently call our readers attention to this, as this note makes friend and defender of the Negro will on December 10th and is far enough away to allow sufficient preparation for fitting exercises. Other cities, both South as well as North, are going to make efforts to observe this day in an appropriate manner in the North. There are certain cities in the North are already the colored citizens have begun to honor Mr. Garrison in this manner and justly, so. It is to be hoped that the members of each church here will take this matter under consideration and, after a few weeks, will give the free beetles referred to in Mr. Wattington's notice, also have appointed suitable persons to prepare themselves for giving talks on Mr. Garrison's life, as it was spent in the interest of our race. It is the least that we should do to thus try to make sure that those who have befriended us, and to instill in children in the history of such men's lives. DREADS "THE CLANSMAN." Mr. Stemona Sees Real and Serious Menceon in Dixon's Play. To the Editor of THE NEW YORK AGE: I have for some time past accepted without question THE AGE as an index to conditions concerning the race. This has been especially true in reference to Thomas Dixon's play, "The Clansman," now being produced in Southern theatres. I have inferred, through your Southern correspondents, that this play has been generally described by the intelligent white South as being morally deploring, historically insecure and worthy of no fate other than total oblivion. For this reason I was little prepared for the enclosed lettering notice from The Philadelphia Record—one of the most conservative and widely-read newspapers of the country. It seems to me that this notice from *The Record* is significant in the extreme. It means, I fear, that your Southern correspondents have not correctly read the of the times in reference to "The Clanman," and that the "The Clanman," like a celebrated poet, has not down- until it has, if not checked other and unseen forces, worked the malicious, underhand and cowardly purpose for which it was written. It means that the North is more and more ready to list the more and more as true the wildest flights of famine of the white men when they desiant upon the face and his relations to the South, both present. "Unlike your correspondents, I regard "The Clanman" as a spectre as real and as much to be dreaded by Negroes as is the one which has for Negroes as is the one end of the country to the other and among them of their civil and political rights. *JAMES SAMUEL STEMON.* Philadelphia, November 12, 1905. "SPREAD-BUZZARD" ORATORS From The St. Paul (Minn.) Appeal. Toni Watson and Sam Jones are both the second-best oranges and their friends, basking in all things since the days of Sherman. From The Springfield Republican every Democratic leader in Georgia holds the War Amendments to the Federal Constitution in contempt as against what is called the menace of Negro supremacy in politics. Ex-Con- gressman W. H. Fleming of Augusta, through The Chronicle of that city, has addressed a letter to the white voters of the State, urging their nonacceptance of or Secretary Hobe Smith's proposal that Georgia shall follow other Southern States in disfranchising the Negro. His address is noteworthy for his frank exposition of the fact that all the schemes adopted and proposed in restriction of the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments to the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments Such laws as have been adopted in Alabama, North Carolina and several other Southern States may be fair upon their face, but they carry a fraudulent and unintended purpose within and are intended to be administered unfairly. He says: It must be admitted that the machinery of the proposed law is admirably suited to its fraudulent purpose. Before the citizen can register to vote he must be able to read and explain to the satisfaction of the board of registrants any paranormal state constitution. Now, we lawyers all have to be some parts of our constitution that the supreme court itself has never been able to explain. "Of course the officers of registration are to be white. An easy paragraph for a white applicant, a difficult paragraph for a Negro applicant; the neopotence of any sort of explanation from a white applicant, the rejection of any sort of explanation from a Negro applicant—there you have a Negro applicant, which the game of cheat is to be played, to something of the illegal device of the grandfather clause." "And it is on this miserable barefaced scheme of fraud that a proud and noble people are asked to rest their safety and their civilization." That is the plain truth of the matter, but he is the public expression he is in. Southerners Mr. Fleming warns his follow citizenize that, while so far these devices for Negro disfranchisement have escaped the conundrum of the United States Supreme Court, they are not the case. "The battle for supremacy between these laws and the Federal Constitution remaining to be fought out,Origin is in no danger of Negro domination, and the office in the state filled by a Negro, and even the Negro militia company have been disbanded. Every consensus shows that the margin of choice for white supremacy is not known," says Mr. Fleming, "what shifting phases this vexing race problem may assume, but we may rest in the conviction that its true and ultimate solution must be of honesty and justice," least of all is a tolerable settlement to be reached by the adoption of "a degrading policy of enforcing ignorance on a weaker race, with the hope of enlightenment and semislavery, from which all good men would pray for deliverance." This is the voice of thought and conscience and human consideration. It is the leadership of such men as Mr. Flemming and Mr. Browne, and it is to insect its race problem successfully or as becomes a Christian people. A decent regard for the later Amendments to the Federal Constitution will not hinder, but rather, making an adequate solution of that problem. THE BLACK MAN'S CENTURY. Exploiting of the Tropics Offers Him Vant Opportunities. From The New York Sun. Mr. Isham Randolph, one of the consulting engineers of the Panama Canal, writes that at least 24,000 men will be required on the canal as soon as the new work begins, and that the demand is greater than the supply. Secretary of War Taft in a recent report that much of the work thus far had been done by Jamaica Negroes, but it will not be easy to secure all the labor required from that island. It is hoped that satiric works may also be obtained from Porto Rico. In one of his addresses the other day President Roosevelt spoke of the wonderful growth of manufacturing in the Southern States and advised the South region to remain at home, where there is opportunity for all their energies in the work of agricultural and industrial development. We shall hear in a few weeks of the completion of a railroad: seventy-five miles long, around a series of rapids in the upper Congo. Steam transportation in the Congo will be lengthened, through the this road, from 1,300 to 1,700 miles above the Congo mouth. Four thousand Congo natives under white superintendence have been at work for nearly a year building this railroad. The world is now girdled with enterprises to develop the resources of the tropical belt and make contribute its share toward the wealth and wellbeing of its own and other races. Wherever the black man lice in this zone he is regarded as a necessary factor in the work, and his opportunities are being every day to gain proficiency in common labor and the mechanical industries. The civilized world declared at Brussels fifteen years ago that the Negro should go longer he hunted and sold into slavery. In the old slave-hunting regions of central Africa he is to-day able to make brick, build houses, grade roads, and furnish a chance has come. There is work enough for him, and he is needed. His success will depend upon his own character and capacity for development. During the war in South Africa the British Government paid the Negroes, his wages for services in the army, and afterwards fused to go back to gold mining because the wages were smaller. The Chinese who took their places were good and willing workers. The Negroes made a mistake, and some day they will see it. It has been reserved to this century for opportunity to these millions of people. SOUTH AFRICAN CENSUS. From Izqwl Lubantj At the census taken in the spring of last year it was found that the total non-white population of South Africa numbered 5,198,156 to 1,319,015 whites. Having in mind the rapid natural increase of the natives, at the rate of about 6 per cent. annually, and the inflow of the Chinese, it would be well within the mark to put the total population at 5,600,000. At the present time at 5,600,000, the 82 per cent. or more four-fifths of the entire population of the country, and the 82 per cent. or more four-fifths of the intermingled with the whites in other parts about three colored persons to one of the colored persons allocated to reserves specially set apart, there the total population, varying from 63 per cent. to the Orange River, colony to 90 per cent. in Rhodesia and Bantaland.—The natives—64 the Great Bantu race with 90 per cent. in Bantou—form 90 per cent. of the total colored population, the other colored and white natives, Chinese, Malay, being found children, the Cape Colony, Natal and the Transvaal. From Rhetoric home of The Librator. In the month of August I issued proposals for publishing, The Librator in Washington city; but the enterprise, though hailed in different sections of the country, was padded by public indifference. Since that time, the removal of The Genius of Universal Emancipation to the seat of Government has rendered less imperious the establishment of a similar periodical in that quarter. During my recent tour for the purpose of exciting the minds of the people by a series of disclosures on the subject of slavery, I every place that I visited gave fresh evidence of the revolution in public sentiment was to be effected in the free States—and particularly in New England—than at the South. I found contempt more bitter, more detachment more relentless, prejudice more spatey more hard, frozen than among slaveowners themselves. Of course, there were individual exceptions to the contrary, a statute of things afflicted, but did not disabuse the unfortunate and hazard, to lift up the standard of enunciation in the eyes of the Nation, within sight of Bunker Hill and in the pluphce of liberty. That standard be unfilled, of liberty. That standard be unhurt by the spoilations of time or the missiles of a desperate foe—vea, till every chain he broken and every bondman not free. Let Southern oppressors tremble to secret actors tremble—let their Northern oppressors tremble to the enemies of the perceived blacks tremble. I deem the publication of my original prospectus unnecessary, as it has obtained a wide circulation. The principles thereof, as they appear in this paper, excepting that I shall not array myself as the political partisan of any man. In defending the great cause of human rights, I wish to derive the assistance of all religions and of all parties. Asserting to the "self-evident truth" maintained in the American Declaration of Independence, "that all men are created equal, and endowed by their Creator with certain insignable rights—among which liberty, and the pursuit of happiness." Liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, are the immediate enfranchisement of our slave population. In Park street church, on the Fourth of July, 1829, in an address on slavery, I unreflectingly asserted to the popular but pernicious doctrine of gradual abolition. I wipe this oppor-tunity with a clean hand, and thus publicly to ask sorrow of my God, of my country, and of my brother, the poor slaves, for having uttered a sentiment so full of timidity, injustice and absurdity. A similar recitation, from my pen, was published in The Universal Emancipation, at Baltimore, 1828. My conscience is now satisfied. I am aware that many object to the severity of my intolerance; but is there not cause for severity? I will be harsh awake on this subject. On this subject, I do not wish to think, or speak, or write, with moderation. No; No; Tell a map whose house is on fire to give moderate alarm; tell him to modulate the raiser; tell the raiser; tell the mother to gradually extract her hake from the fire into which it has fallen—but urge me not to mention in a cause like the present. I will not excuse—I will not retreat a single inch—AND I WILL, BE HEARD. The apathy of the people is every statue leap from its pedestal, and to hasten the resurrection of the dead. It is presupposed that I am retarding the cause of emancipation by the coarseness of my invective and the precipitancy of my measures. The charge is not true, but the influence my humble is it is, a felt at ease, a siderable extent, and shall be felt in coming years—not perniciously, but beneficially—not as a curse, but as a blessing, and potency will bear testimony that I was right. I desire to thank God that he enables me to disregard "the fear of the length of a square, and to speak his truth in shaken and power. And here I class with this fresh dedication: Oppression. I have seen these face to face. And put that red eye and cloudy brow; But put that whithering glance. I fear not now... For danger to plow, pouder feelings doth give Of deep abhorrence! Scroring the disgrace. I swear, while life-blood warms my throbbing veins. Still to oppose and thwart, with heart and hand. Thy brutalizing sway—till Afric's chains Are Furst and Freedom rules the rescued land. Trampling oppression and his iron rod: Such is the vow I take—so help me God! Boston, January 1, 1831. OUR FAULT IF WE LOSE LABOR. From The Atlanta Independent EVEN THE MULES AFFECTED From The Washington Star From the Washington Star. "Do't a mighty amsht mute, anyhow," said Mr. Erasman Pinkney as he sat down on the curbstone. "But you can't make him obey you." "No," he replied. "He been agitated somebody readin' reaper man!

Southern Sun, an established rule states that if a dozen or more officers are called, the officers will come up and arrest the enemy even when to appear against the accused as well. When Mrs. Charlotte Harris, an asl Afro-American woman, was buried last week at Mellie, Ala., her pall bearers were in white, members of the Bauer family who also had faithfully served for nearly a century. A large number of white friends attended the funeral. Hon. John S. Durham, ex-Minister of Hajal, who recently resigned the position of assistant attorney to the Supreme Unions Commission to accept the movement of a large sugar estate in the province of Camaguey, Cuba, in the for a short visit and to recuperate health. Mr. Durham is not only one of most capable Afro-Americans who ever Federal office but he is one of the few ever resigned one. The South's bid for reputable white migrants is not received with show joy by the foreigners who flock to country in search of free government better opportunities of getting on to world. The social, political and economic conditions which prevail in the United States are not such as desirable settling for, and they do not take to the Federal statistics show this to be Governor Luke E. Wright of the Palms has started for the United States a leaving lots of trouble behind him. And he will find lots of trouble on his back when he gets to this country. His son is a prominent lawyer of Tennessee, has languaged up with the law for this hard methods during the last election, in a concealed weapon and a snatched box played conspicuous parts. The recent announcement that Bishaw, W. Hood, the senior bishop of the Methodist Episcopal Zion church, had a stroke of paralysis at his home at Fayetteville, N. C. will cause very general regret throughout race circles, the flood is one of the oldest, sweetest and cathedrals of our bishops, and few men that have produced in this country have rendered bravery and later service than he in church and life. The hope will be very general that he recover his health and usefulness. Chief Edward E. Lee of the United States organized Democracy is now firmly in the saddle, having downed the enemies in his own political household, and as he is the author of democratic leader who works all the years in the interest of his party organization, the Republican leaders of Armageddon organizations in this town will have to keep busy. The rough shake-up which the Tammany tiger got in the late election will cause all the chiefs of that organization to redouble their efforts to recruit the strength of the organization. Political hubstle is the sign in which all political success is won. Senator Arthur Poe Postman, who has been a disturbing force in Maryland politics and in the politics of the Republic for a century, threatened that he would fire from politics if the Poe distancing law were adopted by the people of Maryland. They refused to adopt it by a jolyce vote of 30,000. Whileburying the amendment they also rebelled against Governor in such wise that he became forced out of the state whether he decided to go or not. We have no great admiration or respect for the Maryland publicism; it is of a very dilatedacter; but we shall be mighty glad if the man and Gorman Democracy can be tested out of Maryland politics. The Afro American Leader Justice clergy to the category in which it was placed by Mr. L. M. Hershaw, editor of The Washington Her, in his biased article on "The Negro Press of America" in the last issue of *Charities*. Turn *New York Am.* leading to Mr. Hershaw, heads this category whose characteristic he declared to be "whose character the postpone or postpone the political and civil rights" the record of *Charities* is well known to make a reply to this theme. We will merely say that *Charities* be ashamed of itself for having gated abroad Mr. Hershaw's sludge on the sturdiest and most unfinished aspect of the race press. The True Reformers are having in with Mrs. Browne Smith, the widow of the founder of the order, Rev. W. W. Browne. Some years ago the Grand Fountain stood to rev. Browne for two copyrights to which he, dying, willed to his widow of this amount she has received $250,000 but for the last three years has been paid nothing. She now threatens a law to secure the remainder. The officers of the are in a quandary for those who was shut out of the District of the by the Institution Commissioners in the ground that that $250,000 paid Mrs. Browne-Smith was the improper debt of money held in trust and should be paid by the officers. The only way to balance due her seems to be to have a special tax on all members of the Grand Fountain; but there is a question as such a tax could be enforced. The Carlisle School Indians went to West Point last Saturday and took the white soldier boys of the military a game of football, white Prince and His Majesty's navy and a lot of nitriles looked on. It must be a great humiliation for the soldier who think that they are the best of animated things in America. It is bad thing to have them out of them now and then. It is funny that these military calling to play well and to feast on Indians, Japanese, Chinese and but draw the line in all directions. Afro-Americans, who are the low-citizens in law and their share of the taxation with the military school and give the uppish youngsters. But always be the case. Time is absurdity, along with many our common human nature. The New York World prints a Washington dispute that Booker T. Washington atlantic Ambassador called inhouse about the same time and handed their over to ant while they called in the Austrian Ambassador in love. When he got in fronty building he dived for buildings up a rabbit's foot, so he impersonated a raver. He had Washington's overcoat, which returned to owner.

The intellectual and physical priced and cared or, but the spiritual was above either of them. It is also a life of growth. It would be a great disfavor to a parent or a teacher or a farmer to make no progress. It is a life that battles against the forces that tend to draggit downward such as primitility and gambling. It is a life of affection and time, there are those round about us who need our help and sympathy.

It is simply a case of segregation put to a practical test. The inhabitants number about 4,500, but they have no mayor. Their municipal government consists of George Terrell and Spencer Cary, both justices of the peace; A. Perkins, deputy sheriff; Nelson Walker and John Brown, constables, all being Negroes. They have a large, thoroughly equipped school building, with upwards of ten rooms, provided over by Principal Gilliams, an intelligent, highly educated Negro. The postmaster of Buxton, a Mr. Morgan, is the only Negro holding such an office in the State. Think of it! A settlement in town composed wholly of Negroes, and to the extent of 4,500 people, the oppression is unmitigated in all directions. The town is as yet unincorporated. Hundreds of towns have been incorporated with less than 4,500 souls. Our colored brothers should get together and give their town a standing, and the town should get together and give their town a standing, that settlement and in town, where they are at liberty to exercise their right of suffrage! A whole municipality composed in its entirety of Negroes, from a mayor on down to the janitor of the town hall. You are in the palm of your hand, citizens of Buxton. Be mindful that you do not kill the goose. Dr. Holly's Lecture on Karthi Hon. Alonzo P.

NEWARK, November 14.—The Presbyterian committee of the Presbytery of Newark, appointed in July last to look into the affairs of the Plane street Presbyterian church, presented themselves at the said church on Friday evening last, the object being to investigate the purpose of the pastor, Rev. Lockier, in illegally leaving his own pupil some time in August to hold an evening service in the Italian church in Plane street without the consent of his church session or trustees. The committee also desired to hear any statements that the congregation might make, pro or con, concerning the pastor, and to consider the ability of the pastor, and to consider the purpose of the Plane street church. The committee were appointed Dr. Dwight W. Lusk, Judith H. Wolf, clerk of the Presbytery, and Denon J. P. Dusneyberg. The committee began by holding a religious service, and Rev. McDowell proclaimed a twenty-minute sermon. It then set before the congregation the special business of the committee. "This is not a legal meeting of the congregation, and he is not a溶剂, 'because anything that is final,' but we desire simply to get the expression from the people as to their likes and dislikes in regard to the pastor, Rev. J. H. Lockier. The matter of your removing to the Italian church has been already settled, as you have expressed your unwillingness to make any such exchange. But your understanding in the matter was as strong. This committee itself was the first branch the subject to Rev. Lockier, and he is entirely innocent of knowing anything about it." A voice from Mr. C. A. Long, pres- sident, board, declared: "He did know album it." "Well, do you question the statement of the committee?" said the moderator. "But he did know, just the game." In July last, said the moderator, a request was sent to the Prosthegy asking the resignation of your pastor, J. H. Locklier, and this committee was then appointed to look into your affairs. This committee has no power beyond an expression of the congregation's will concerning. Rev. J. H. Locklier; the presbytery itself must settle the mooted question. After much grumbling and muttering sufficient order was restored to permit the moderator to say: "All those who are members of the church congregation who desire to express their opinion concerning the pastor's retention here will now please vote for or against him." Name forty well-worn for him and at least one hundred against him. The rumblings burst forth in loud expressions of approval of the decision of the vote, and of dissatisfaction with the rulings of the modifier. There were shouts of "Gag Law!" The meeting then adjourned with a strong feeling of animosity rife against the pastor. The church people will, however, await the report of the committee to the presbytery before taking any further action. NINETY-SEVENTH INSTALLATION. New York African Society for Mutual Relief.

November 13.—A recent writer in The Southern Workman and autobiographies of the subject of this article, that the educated nurses has become necessary. The hospital schools are simply a natural response to a great new demand of our times. People have learned what one of the early advocates of such THE BEST OF THE WORLD 10 [Picture of a man with a long beard and a hat, wearing a suit and a tie. The background is a plain black surface with no visible details.] DR. ALONZO C. McGLENNAN. schools declared, that 'the recovery of an invalid often depends more on good nursing than on the skill of the physician.' Hereto treatment has given place to gentle measures. Observance of hygienic requirements is put before everything else and dosing with dangerous drugs is soldom practiced. Cleanliness of the room and of the person, pure air, wholesome food, congenial society, protection from petty annoyances, and an atmosphere of peace are counted among the best restoratives. And for these we look especially to women. To them also we usually look for a certain quiet efficiency at critical moments. Their thoughts are swift and their hands ready; alert, keen of insight, deft in touch, sympathetic and patient, they are predestined sentiments of the sick room, trusty guardians of the life in its trying hours. This need for trained nurses lead Dr. Amy C. McClellan, a leading Afro-American physician and highly respected character of Charleston, S. C., to consult with other Afro-American physicians to the advisibility of establishment for Afro-American nurses. The institution met with a warm welcoming were held; other backers and in 1897 the work was and the course of lectures There were, of course, many The first was to obtain a This was finally supplied by of a Presbyterian school offered Dr. McClellan one classes. He became evident that wider facilities were imperative. The instruction in the theory of nursing was created a demand for instruction. A hospital and training Mr. Cumman conceived the idea of the Commissioners of Pub- lance urge the establishment of for the treatment of sick Ashley River Asylum, offer- ning nursing service free of the offer the committee de- cerned. Mr. Cumman then tried to se- cure in the city hospital on the streets, but without success. Mr. Cumman then confided his aims.

Though those of Dr. Ben- D. Rankins—two musicians who for- niture institution —timony of their much is due to --- usefulness, yet it exists solely by charitable contributions and the small fees which come from nurses and patients. Be it said to the credit of the people of Charleston that out of their great charity they have contributed to the institution by means of entertainments, annual affairs at commencement exercises and on. 1. every occasion when called; and that year by year their contributions have sunk the mortgage debt which runs up into the thousands and cumbers and many times clogs the progress of the work. The institution has grown. Here hundreds of persons, men and women, have come for successful medical treatment. Hundreds of Afro-American women from all parts of the country take advantage of its excellent opportunities. It is under the management and government of the following advisory board. Rt. Rev. M. B. Salters, Bishop of the A. M. E. church. Mr. H. P. Williams, banker; Mr. W. P. Paddon, merchant; Rev. J. A. Robinson, pastor Baptist church; Col. A. C. Kaufman; Rev. G. A.

"Every-black man," said Mr. Roosevelt, "who leaves this institute better able to do mechanical or industrial work, adds by so much to the wealth of the whole community, and benefits all people in the community." The President added that the work done at Tuskegee could not possibly have been accomplished without the loyal support of the white people round about, and recalled the encouraging fact that in twenty-five years of effort to educate the black man in the midst of a white community of intelligence and culture there had "never been an outbreak between the races or any difficulty of any kind." He told his colored hearers that they were "in honor bound to join hands in favor of law and order and to war against all crime," especially against crime by men of their own race, and he urged them to "remember also, that the white man who can be of most use to the colored man is that colored man's neighbor." "It is the Southern people themselves," he declared, "who must and can solve the difficulties that exist in the South." --- The image provided is too blurry and pixelated to accurately recognize any text or content.

D., chemistry; and Dr. A. W. Edwards, Ph. G., materia medica, and therapeutics. Every one of these men is a graduate from some medical colleges of standing and reputation. Every one is a specialist, and all serve the institution free of charge. The Hospital and Training School for Nurse is a modern hospital, without the distressing appearance of one. It is a comfortable, home for the nurses, where the strictest rules are enforced and patient study required, so that each pupil will be competent; careful and scientific in the treatment of cases. Its spacious, neatly-kept rooms offer cheer and comfort to the sick. Its unique treatment rooms are constantly charged with onone and filled with many curious appliances. These are large piazzas, by means of which patients receive the benefit of the air. It has its own ambulance, modern and up to date. It would be unfair to the work of this institution to leave it without mentioning the part played by it in quick and effective relief of the Baker family. The midnight revelry of crime and carnage to which Postmaster Baker of Lake City, S.C., some years ago fell a victim had scarcely been over when this institution, through Dr. McClennan, in the face of danger and death and a furious mob.

An Afro-American Candidate Could Not Have Done Worse, Than Judge Lewis. From The Richmond Planet. The result of the election in this Stat-last Tuesday will no doubt set at rest the hopes of the Lily White contingent of the Republican party of the commonwealth. The cry that the Negro, stood in the way of Republican success has been heard from the mountains to the son. It is evident to a man whose skull is as thick as a gate-post that the Negro did not embarrass the Republican management either before or on election day. To use a homely expression, he gren't "w-a-y back and sat down." He is sitting down now. The Democratic managers have completely fooled the Republican leaders. They induced them to furnish the fox for the chase, and they have had their fun at the Republican leaders' expense while the amount of money spent by the latter would astound even the conservative elements. If the Republicans polled only 4,500 votes in the entire State, as reported by the press dispatches, Judge organ, Col. A. C. Kaufman, Mr. Heary Williams, Dr. Shoppard and others of their kind.

Phosmate company. A falling limb lacerated his forehead from side to side, exposing the skull, and both bones of his right leg were broken near the ankle joint. Dr. A. C. McClellan, the surgeon in charge, dressed the wound and set the man's leg. A few days ago Solomon Hayes was brought from the same settlement suffering with a rattle-snake bite and was successfully treated in this institution. He was given the usual treatment of these cases in the country and was made to drink more than a gallon of whiskey before he was brought to the hospital. "The colored hospital is doing fine work in caring for and providing a place for these people, who, from sickness or accident, are brought to the city and can not be admitted into the city hospital. In this section fifteen or twenty miles from Charleston, they have no physicians to go to, and the colored hospital is the place they go, as none have been refused, whether they had money or not. The librality of the institution is to be commended when they have no appropriation from city or State to sustain them in meeting the current expenses incident to running an institution of this kind. The LIFE OF POSTMASTER BAKER, WHO JOB AT LAKE CITY, S. C., ON FEBRU- management, although embarrassed at times for money, it is believed that the good work the institution has done the people of this city and State will not permit a worthy institution of this kind to fail for the want of money to sustain it. 6 U he ma To U E Res "In connection with the hospital, the training school, for nurses gives excellent services, and the graduates rank first-class from the training that, they receive through lecture and practical training in the hospital wards." Lewis could have made just as good run by staying in Richmond and attending to his official business. This but slightly exceeds the made inhabitants of voting age in one ward in this city. The result should be an eye-opener to President Roosevelt. It would naturally be presumed that his visit to this State would have swelled the Republican vote. Hout, Leslie M. Shaw had spoken here, too, and the Academy of Music had been secured, a place from which colored people are excluded unless they take a flight heaven-ward and land in the neighborhood of the roof, commonly known as the "peanut gallery," and by some others as the "Xegro's heaven." As a matter of fact, any Negro of prominence with any kind of good record could have made just as good run as Judge Lewis and his Republican associates made, if he had presented himself to the Republican voters of this State. It is a pity that President Roosevelt cannot be further convinced. He will yet have an opportunity to realize that as popular as he is in Virginia, with all classes, he could not have won in a "show down" contest with the candidates on the Democratic ticket of Virginia.

A good old Boston is now given up to prisoners and inhabitants from the pubilb. The effect of the wonderful campaign just published in New York city is felt here in the city from both parties of "Down With the Reaper!" Rescuevill. Fork and Joseph are now the patron saints of all would-be good politicians and the cartoon in The Boston Herald depicting all of the candidates covered with mud, driven by themselves, is both amusing and illuminating. It seems possible, therefore, that Judge Dewey, the people's candidate, may win out in the primaries, for he is conducting his own canvas without the usual accessories. Moran, district attorney-elect, won because Jerome won. Our papers here were for the nonce turned into New York papers. Also the prominence given to Jerome was the public and people of the police and the district attorney's office on the utter futility of their efforts to locate the guilty parties heined Moran immensely. He joined with the public and promised if elected to the Senate he would be who was taken as his joke, wom out. Judge, Dewey will not be taken that way for he is a man to be reckoned with when he makes an appeal to the public, and here is no doubt. If the election is in doubt, the Republican and elected, but the faults of the Republican party here, handicap him. Callender may not be counted in. But the unexpected may happen. He is a fine gentleman of good legislative record and learned in the law. Frothingham, the man whom all expect him to be in back of him just his legislative record, grievous to the Governorship some day. He is the aristocrat and can command the machine and a large campaign fund, but cannot be compared with Judge Dewey. In the meantime, are the Afro-American voters going to vote and work for the Judge whom so many know for his fairness, our race against a hostile police force? The recount for the State election in Rancho hall at this writing goes merviously, and while the Republicans cannot be defeated, the vote for the Lieutenant Governor is a serious threat something to think of if few of us are there. There was nothing for us to think of, for the plank referring to the reduction of representation was not referred to even when the Governor-elect was addressing an Afro-American audience; and while the campaign was fought on National issues, the vote was not on the stump for the party at large any Afro-American who was speaking for the ticket; and our only candidate, Mr. Clark of Cambridge, who was a candidate for the Senate and was most vociferously touted by the party's nearly its attorney and "Red-foo" Newsman, was sadly left, through the efforts of The Mirror and Age.

CAMBRIDGE, November 13—The fever that has spread all over the country in regard to Bose, State has reached the University city, and for once the Afro-American is attempting to revolt against the power of Tammont Boe, the Witchman's Weekly is preempt. The circular that has been extensively circulated among our citizens reads thus: AGAINST BOSS RULE. AGAINST BOBS RULE. To ensure that we maintain the highanded acts and mimepresentations made by a small number of colored office holders and self-students, to the public through the Prem and to Party Managers and staff, we are just on the eve of an important Municipal Election, when the best judgement and the best men must be consulted as to our future of office, and free from any entanglement of selfish ambition. We cannot predict what will be said, but the trend of the meeting will be distinctly that of advancement along political lines for the Afro-American. It looked last year as if the African-American was political cote of Cambridge, i.e., as far as the Afro-American was concerned, and that by concentrated effort a move might be made that would redound to the credit of all: but in the very beginning of the State campaign the force of destruction commenced their efforts. As an example, the estimable man, and caused confusion where there was peace. The meeting called Tuesday evening is in the interest of peace, if the powermen that he cannot read between the lines and read defeat, it is no fault of the Afro-American.
