TOURGEE'S ASHES INTERRED PERMIGENCE OF AFRO-AMERICANS TO MAYVILLE. Resolutions in Befalf of the Race Head by Charles W. Cheanutt—Dr. Washington Seat Sympathetic Telegram—Interview With Mrs. Tourgee—Her Husband Took Dixon's "The Clansman" in the Tonga and Dropped It in the Fire. MAYVILLE, N. Y., November 19.—The general of the late Alhion, W. Tourree was held here on November 14. On the same train with your correspondent were Mrs. Tiah B. Wells-Barnett, Rev. D. Nash, Mr. William H. Talbert of Buffalo and Mr. John W. Thompson, treasurer of the National Afro-American Council. We were not at the train by a reception committee, all white, extended every courtesy to the visitors and requested them to go to the Mayville hotel, the best in the village, where they were entertained, in that spirit which dominated the great heart of him whose death caused our pilgrimage to his late home. A fierce snow storm began in the morning and continued all day. The business of the town was entirely suspended, and the citizens stood about in many groups discussing the event. Hon. Harry C. Smith, editor of The Cleveland Gazette, was late, owing to the fag that his train was delayed. Many people were watching for Dr. Booker T. Washington, who was expected by the vintage people to make the principal address. A number of business places and private residences were draped with morning. Over the door of the residence of Judge Tourgee, which overlooks the beautiful Chihuahua Lake, was a large United States flag draped with crepe. The ashes of the deceased did not arrive in time for the funeral, owing to a mix on the trains between New York and Buffalo, but came, however, late in the afternoon and were buried by the G.A.R. The exercises began in the M. E. church. At 1:30 the seating capacity of the church was tested. Those who took part on the program joined Mrs. Tourgee and daughter at the residence of the treasured with whom they were stopping and mourning the church they loved. They were led by the minister, Mrs. Tourgee, her daughter and friends. After the family and visitors had entered, they were followed by the G. A. R. The church was decorated with the National colors, which were draped with mourning. Twenty-seven After Americans were present. The choir beautifully rendered a selection and graver was offered by the pastor of the church. Brush life of Judge Tourgee made a thankful address, telling of the deceased as a kind man. Judge Everett spoke for the members of Mayville. Hon. Harry C. Smith of Cleveland was then introduced for the way for Mr. Charles W. Chosier who read the following resolutions: Wesley, Allison W. Tourgee as a contributor to the overthrow of and as lawyer, editor, judge and minister of the consistent rights and equal justice in the Negro; and. Wesley. It is fitting that those whose memory is only defended should make a presentation of their appreciation of Wesley. Therefore, in the name of the people of the United States, be thanked. That by the death of Alwyn W. Tourgee the world will lose a friend, learned jurist, a talented Wesley a rare idealist who placed love, race, color and artificial forms and be it further. W. H. H. Wells Barnett spoke for Chicago and Mr. John W. the representative of the Na- tional American Council, made a Rev Dr. Nash of Buffalo, the National Negro Labor, also spoke.

Lecturer of the late Judge Albion W. T. there was funeral took place at Maysville November 13, the National Association of Colored Women, through the institutes in this city, sent an floral design to Mayville on the occasion of the funeral. The design was an anatomical sketch with the inscription, "Justice for Albion W. T." The floral design in the committee sent a sympathetic resolution to the widow and family of the deceased, which was signed by Miss Florence T. Ray, secretary of the Committee, and Mrs. Josephine Silone, president of the National Association. The committee consisted of Mrs. A. W. Willis, president of the Northern Federation of W. M. J. S. J. S. Garnet, Dr. V. H. M. Jones, Miss H. C. Ray, Miss M. R. Lyons and Mrs. Mary J. Zeno. HONOR ST. BENEDICT THE MOOR. Services Hold Sunday in His Memory Sketch of His Life and Work St. Benedict's church in West 53d street held a celebration on last Sunday in honor of its patron, St. Benedict the Moor. At the 8 o'clock mass the Holy Name Society of men received Communion. At high mass at 11 o'clock the sermon was preached by the Very Rev. Clement Thuante of the Dominican order commonly known as the Preaching Friars. At Vespera Rev. Henry Sample of the Jesuit order preached. A big audience attended both the High Mass and the Vespers. St. Benedict the Moor was born of slave parents in the island of Sicily in the sixteenth century. When a young man, he became a Franciscan monk and soon rose to the highest position of trust and honor in this community. He ruled with great wisdom and success for many years, winning fame not only within the limits of his monastery, but also among the learned men of his day. Among the records of his life is found testimony to his ability as an interpreter of the Bible. Scholars from many universities in Italy came to consult Benedict about difficult passages in the Scriptures and always wondering at his great knowledge, his deep humility and his evident sanctity. When he died he made one of the patrons of the city of Palermo, and his body was buried in the cathedral. Afterwards it was removed to a shrine built specially for it by the Franciscan Fathers. A remarkable thing about St. Benedict's body is that it remains intact to the present time, about three hundred years since his death. Father Rinke saw it when he was in Italy ten years ago. St. Benedict the Moor is a canonized Saint of the Catholic church. To obtain a canonization of an organist in a man must give during his life unmistakable evidence of hericic sanctity. Remarkable piety will not suffice. Then after death it must be established that through his intercession miracles have been wrought. Both of these conditions were verified to the satisfaction of the examiners in St. Benedict's case. The sanctuary of the church has been supplied with electric lights, which will be used for the first time next Sunday. SIX NEW COTTAGES FOR ORPHANS. Friarsell and Abbott Speak at Ceremony of Breaking Ground. Dr. H. B. Frissell, principal of Hampton Institute, and Dr. Lyman Abbott were the speakers at the ceremonies attending the breaking of ground Monday for the six new cottages to be erected at Mount St. Vincent by the Colored Orphan Asylum. Mrs. Phoebe Wright, a Quakeress, who has been a manager of the society for fifty years, broke the ground with a little spade dug with bunting, while the children sang "America." Dr. Frissell then made a short address. He told of the work of Hampton Institute and the condition of the colored people in the South. He said it was an encouraging sign of improvement that in the three counties surrounding Hampton Institute 70 per cent. of the farms were owned by Negroes. "I think it is a great thing," he concluded, "that you are going into the country, that you are leaving the crowded city and getting back to the earth. The colored man should work on the ground, he should learn to farm, for above all things he needs a home of his own." Dr. Abbott made the American flag the symbol of right living. "The white he said is purity; the red is blood, which means sacrifice; the blue is truth, and the stars are hope. We are bringing the stars down to you, rest you hands up on your hands." The Colored Orphan Asylum was founded in 1853, sixty-nine years ago, by two young women, Miss Mary Murray and Miss Anna Shotwell. In 1837 a board of thirty managers was formed, and the incorporation took place in 1885. The home was opened in a frame building in 12th street and the library in 13th street. The public house was erected on Fifth avenue on the block between 43rd and 44th streets. That building was destroyed by fire at the time of the Draft Riot in July, 1863, by men who had sworn to kill "every little black devil in the house." The children were, however, marched out in safety to the police station; and thence they went to the Seventh avenue armory, where they remained three days and nights. They were then taken under military escort to Blackwell's Island. Later, they had a temporary home in Carrangsville. The present buildings at Amsterdam avenue and 143d street were then erected. This plant is now outgrown, and the institution will build and install the cottage system on their new property at Mount St. Vincent. This is the first time the cottage system has been used for the care of Afro-American children. The children are received between the ages of two and twelve years, its opening there have been 4,312 children cared for within its walls. There are now 321 children there. Throughout its entire health report of the asylum has been exceptionally good; and of the children who have been indentured, 90 per cent, have made an excellent record. The managers can erect only six cottages from the funds now available, and need four more, costing $12,000 each to complete the equipment. Garrison Books All Drawn From Library. CHICAGO. November 18. Nearly every church in the city is preparing special services in honor of William Lloyd Garrison. Some idea of the educational effect of such meetings may be seen in the fact that nearly every book bearing on the Librator has been withdrawn from the public library by eager students and readers. Candidate Got 18,000 Votes. CHICAGO, November 17.—In the recent county election for judges and other officers, an Afro-American named Johnson received 16,000 votes for president of the drainage board commissioner. Johnson run on the Socialist ticket. Probably not more than 160 of the 16,000 votes cast for him were cast by Afro-American An Afro-American Journal of News and Opinion. JOHN ALEXANDER DOWIE WILLIAMS AND WALKER KEPT. But Kelly, Prejudiced Southern Actor, Had to Walk the Plant. W. C. Kelly, who according to his own modest admission is "a Virginia gentleman, sah," and who was engaged for an act at Hammersstein's Victoria theatre, objected loudly last week when he found that Williams and Walker were the headliners on the program. Mr. Hummersstein did not hesitate between Williams and Walker and Kelly, and in a few minutes a super was busy scratching Kelly's name off the bills. KAISER WILHELM AND LIBERIA. He Wants to Oust English and French Influence. WASHINGTON, D. C., November 19, 1924. Kaiser Wilhelm is trying to make trouble for Great Britain and France in Africa, and incidentally for Liberia. The black republic is reported to have made an agreement with those two countries by which they are to control the local affairs with the British, and with the French, which Great Britain, and France have thus seized have around the envy of Kaiser Wilhelm, and he has sent a note to this Government and others asking what they think of the new development of affairs in Liberia, in the hope of showing some expression of discontent with the French, and this are keeping their fingers out of this business which does not concern them. SHOT BLACK BRITISH SAILOR. Complications May Follow Murder by Mislusted Constable JACKSON, Miss., November 18—As the result of the killing of a Negro in a justice's court at Gulfport, a few days ago, Mr. Power, the Secretary of State, received today a letter from Mr. H. G. Hunt, British Consul at New Orleans, requesting an investigation. The Negro was a sailor from the British bark Hornet King. He was arrested for a misdemeanor. After his conviction at Gulfport, he was right in the court room at Gulfport, and Negro was not convicted. Gause. The officer was exonerated. The Secretary of State has turned over the letter from the British Consul to the Governor. NEWARK CHURCH IMPROVEMENT. St. James A. M. F. Church Plan Many Excellent Changes. NEWARK, November 21.—For the purpose of raising funds to repair and renovate St. James A. M. E. church, the Daughters of Allen, an auxiliary of the church, gave a concert and supper in the church parlor last Thursday evening. A selection by Miss Grace Calsa and amy laughs, Dr. H. I. P. Anderson, who is the pastor of the church, hopes within the next conference year to replace the windows, with others of stained glass, to paper the walls and renew the interior with paint and varnish. He also wishes to raise the edifice and build beneath an entrance, to hold new investments. The trustees have recently purchased a lot adjoining the church on which to build a parsonage. HONOR Y. M.

PHILADELPHIA, November 20.—Mrs. Mary McDonald celebrated her 134th birthday last week at the Home for Aged and Inform Colored People. She is a great favorite in the home, of which she has been an inmate since 1887. She was born in Frogtown, near Valley Forge, on November 15, 1771, and when a child went to live as a servant with the family of Rose Hope. She remembers incidents of the memorable winter the American army spent at Valley Forge, and said "The guns were always going off and skederd us at night." Her four grandsons, ranging in age from 12 to 18, marched and, until his death a month and a half age, his son-in-law, who was past 30, came whenever he could.

East Orange Parents May Have to Appeal to the Courts. EAST ORANGE, N. J., November 19. The Afro-Americans here are howling because the board of education has taken steps to segregate the school children on the basis of color. This morning a number of Afro-American parents descended upon the Ashland school, where their children were being "Jim Crowed," and took them away. A mass meeting was held Friday night at the Mount Olive church to protest against race discriminatory school policies and to ordered children be taken back into the regular classes. In case this appeal falls on stony soil, the parents will have recourse to the courts. GARRISON CENTENARY PROGRAM Leaflet Compiled by A. H. Grimke and Abolithinglal's Son.

Douglas Wetmore has ambitious plans mapped out for the Afro-American Council's legal bureau, of which he is the head. He writes in a personal letter to the corresponding secretary, Dr. L. G. Jordan: "I want to break up the custom of only having white men on juries in this State (Florida) to start with, and would like to test the law of Georgia in reference to our people not riding in sleeping cars. I should also like to mandamus the Seaboard Air Line, Atlanta Coast Line, Southern Railway, Central of Georgia and the L. & N. Railways, and compel them to furnish the same kind of accommodations for our people that they furnish white people. And last, but not least by any means. I should like to break up the operation of that Jim Crow' street car that runs from Alexandria, Va., right to the capital in Washington." Dr. Jordan is beginning a campaign to raise the funds necessary for the attainment of these results. LOST AND FOUND $44,000. Aged Servant of Joseph Jefferson Recovered Lost Trust. $14,000 in cash, jewelry valued at $4,000 and books showing that she had $26,000 deposited in banks were found last night in a trunk lost by Alice Candy, an aged Afro-American woman, who for many years was employed in the family of Joseph Jefferson. Twenty-five thousand dollars of her fortune was said to have been bequeathed to her by the actor. Search of the trunk showed that two diamond rings were missing. The chest was found in the office of a transfer company by detectives and taken to the West 123rd street station. Through a mistake the trunk was left at the transfer office after it had been taken from the home of the woman, at No. 90 West 134th street. She told an assistant to send it to the home of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas J. Lark and Ornament, N. J., where she had obtained employment. The trunk was taken away from Miss Candy's home on Wednesday, and when she failed to receive it she notified the police. Detective Sergeants O'Trien and Hughes located the trunk, and Miss Candy identified it as her property. She said she had failed to remember the name or address of the expressman to whom it was delivered, and inquiries by the police showed he had left the trunk at the expressman's office called for by another expressman who did have regard where to deliver it. She said she believed she had played the missing rings in the trunk, but that they might have been mislaid. SPANKED BOY CAUSES RIOT. Forty Shots Exchanged and Several Wounded During the Fight. IRCIMOND, Va., November 16.—The spanking of a white boy by some colored men caused a race riot in Dublin to-day. The men were passing through the street when the boy addressed them with some uncomplimentary remarks, for which he was soundly spanked. Then an older brothel got a revolver, enlisted his father and several other white men and began to pursue the Afro-Americans. These retired to a strategic point near the railway station and awaited the approach of the whites. As soon as the whites were freed upon and forty shots were exchanged, Afro-Americans and several whites were wounded before the fight was ended by the flight of the colored men. REVOLT AGAINST TICE. St. John's of Brooklyn and Macedonia of Flushing Rebellious. Last Sunday, when Rev. James A. Tappen, commander of the Henry Ward Beecher post, arrose in St. John's A. M. E. church, Brooklyn, and read President Elder Tice's notice of the deposition of Rev. Edward L. Bell, the women of the congregation crowded about their pastor and refused to let him depart. Rev. Bell then sait that he would not give up the place until a majority of the church so voted. St. John's is not the only church where there is a revolt against the unpopular presiding elder. The Macedonia A. M. E. church of Flushing is also recurrent, four times. Dr. Tice has visited the church to hold his report meetings with the congregation, and each time none of the officers and very few of the members have been present. The pastor, Rev. W. H. Lacey, has issued a signed statement in which he says: "When the officers told Bishop Tanner they would not meet nor sit under him, he said. Well, don't meet him; there is no power to make you, but observe your law. They have sent two petitions and one onegram requesting to be relieved by him, but the pastor and other churches would hurt the cause here, and as they were enduring to complete their church they didn't want any trouble here, but still he comes, and their patience is about exhausted. With three attempts and after distributing envelopes, I have only been able to collect and pay for all purposes, yet he publishes that he has been enduring the Elders' assessment from the churches. No complaint was made to the bishop; no official board asked for the removal of Presiding Eldar Tice." The officers say that he is too untruthful in those statements to be allowed to exercise the office over them. "Since the matter crept into the papers, the truth to work his papers through others has come up. I seize the moment to state the facts in the case and to show that the pastor has not kent Dr. Tice from doing his duty here." Learning For A-B-C-G at 95 The oldest pupil in the public schools of New York is an Afro-American, Mrs. Ellen Millage, aged 65, of 24 West 195th street. She attends night school at public school No. 157. She is learning to read and write, and her teachers may also studying with designed plush. MYSTIC. SHRINERS' BANQUET MYSTIC. SHRINERS' BANQUET 200 GUESTS AT 300-CAILED-MOHAMMEDAN FEAST. Potentates in Vivid Costumes Outshone Solomon in All His Glory—Noble J. R. Spurgeon Says Arabs at World's Fair Initiated First Afro-American Shriner — Thousands of Native Masons, He Says, in African Janglees — Sam Lucas Enlivened the Program — Some of Those Present. A notable Masonic event was the Mohammedan feast of Medina Temple, Ancient Arabic order of Nobles of the Mystic Shrine, which took place at Odd Fellows' Hall, 100 West 29th street. Thursday evening, November 16. There were more than two hundred invited guests present. Past grand master E. V. C. Eato and most of the prominent masons in this vicinity took part in the ceremonies. Illustrious Potentate Noble Eugene Phillips and the other nobles of the Temple presented a novel spectacle as they matched into the hall in their motley oriental costumes. The music was under the direction of Prof. Walter F. Craig and the Master of Ceremonies was Noble Charles H. Tyson. Noble William Oscar Payne made a terse address of welcome in which he remarked the fact that the Mohammedan feast would consist of food that was not Mohammedan. Miss Sadie Chapman then pleased the audience with a vocal solo. Noble James H. Spurgeon gave an interesting historical address on "How Afro-Americans First Became Members of the Order." He said that prior to 1893 Afro-Americans were not members of the Mystic Shrine; but in that year some Arabs who came over to the World's Fair in Chicago, initiated an Afro-American Mason into the Mysteries of the order and Medina Temple was formed in 1893. Noble Spurgeon further stated that he was initiated into the order in Africa, and that in that vast country even in the, interior there are thousands of Mohammedan natives who are masons. Rev. Hutchens C. Bishop followed and said that masonry and other secret organizations encourage the feeling of brotherhood so necessary for the uplifting of humanity. Noble William Dumount then sang several comic songs. His condition of "Nobody" elicited rounds of applause. Rev. T. Wellington Henderson said that he was thankful that the Worlds' Fair occurred, because it had given the colored American an opportunity to get into an order which the white American hoped to keep him from entering. Messrs. Richardson and Jordan then gave a guitar and mandolin duet. Mrs. Bottie de Toscao ably recited "The Mystic Trio." Sam Lucas followed with his comical talk and songs and received an ovation Mr. Andrew Richardson sang "The Holy City" and the closing ceremonies were then performed by Medina Temple. A collation was then served, consisting of ice cream, cake, fruit and punch, after which the floor was cleared for dancing. Following are the officers of Medina Temple, and the reception committee: Elected Officers—Eugene Phillips, Illustrations potentate; Robert I. T. Tillman, assistant rabbin; John J. T. Jackson, treasurer; Theodore Smith, chief rabbin; Shadrach Harris, high priest and prophet; Levi Williams, recorder; and George Taylor, oriental guide; appointed officers; James H. Spergoon, lecturer; J. F. Wright, first cero master; Thomas P. Wood, second cero master; Isaac Alexander director; Thomas Dary, captain of the guard; Tulane University, standard bearer; Thomas H. Wright, chief of Arab patrol; and William Arstrung, outer guard; reception completes; James McOdum, chairman; Thomas H. Wright and William H. McOdum. Regular Correspondence of This Am. AYLANTA, November 20.-Just as the judge of the criminal court last Monday in this city was contesting, for the crime of rape, an Afro-American to be hanged by the neck until he was dead and wished winding up the sentence with the words, "and may the Lord have mercy on your soul," a little newboy, stood at the door of the court-room crying out, "Enter, all about the white man in the hands of the Negro mob!" The extra announced the fact that in a part of the city popped by Afro-Americans a white carpenter had to tell an eight-year-old Afro-American girl into a vacant house he was repairing and had criminally and brutally manhandled her. It further stated that the rapist had been captured by a crowd of infuriated people, and, but for the timely arrival of the police, would have been summarily dealt with. Interest was now diverted from the condemned black rapist and focused on the white brute, while the story of his devilty was being told. It developed, however, that the mob had caught the wrong man. He was released and up to this time the right man has not been captured and but little effort, it would scout, is being made for his capture. Here we have examples of the brutal instinct in identical crimes by members of different races. The Afro-American associated an aged white woman in her garden at her home and for a while made good his escape. His offense was without any sort of justification and was brutal in its nature. For a time it looked as if all chance of locating and upholding him had been lost, but the chase was never abandoned. As many as five arrests were made, but in each instance the woman when confronted with the prisoner avowed that he was not in the place. Finally the man who was not her sentence was brought before and she recognized him as her assailant. He very positively declared he was not, but on the day he prayed his trial confessed that he was; and now he is getting really to meet his fate. The crime of the woman in Africa, possible for the man that of the African American for the former deliberately planned to commit, and that to upon a mere babe. He had before him the knowledge that a black man was at the very moment being tried for a similar offense and had very narrowly escaped being lynched to the present position. He was not less deferred in his diabolical attack. As a result the girl must live the rest of her life with the harrowing thought that she was cruelly outraged. As was said, very little effort is being made to apprehend the assailant and to show the press and officials help in public life that when once a black man has assaulted a white woman we should join in the chase to capture him. We have been told, in effect and in the very last few days, that we should show no quarter to the rapist when he comes our way, if persecution he should and we should point him out to the officers of the law; but that we should go a step further and seek to kill him. We have been told that we should establish the fact that we have no part or parcel with the rapist. This is all right, but we notice an extreme apathy on the part of white men to take up the pursuit of the white rapist who takes such things are generally very lightly regarded and but little attention is paid to them. Certainly no white men go hunting for those white assailants. The crime is the same in infancy and in adulthood, but the victim be of either of these colors. It should have no tolerance among men of what ever race and the offender should know that he who strikes down helpless women shall be the victim by murder. Afro-American, indeed, should show no sympathy with the despairer, and when they can do so should hand him over into the keeping of the law, but why should white American womanhood almost with impunity? The honest and determined efforts on the part of white men to capture and punish white rapists of Afro-American women would be an inspiration to black men to do more than to not to apprehend Afro-American assassins of white women. Even now, whether they are given credit for it or not, it is true that Afro-Americans, in almost every case of criminal assault that occurs, render material aid to the officers and often happened that single-handed and alone they have captured the guilty man and turned him over to the officers of the law. In the case spoken of at the beginning of this article two of them appeared to identify the prisoner and surrender the man he claimed to be, thereby storing his alibi. What the Afro-Americans would like to see is a "square deal" in the matter of handling rapists. He wants to see them all weeded out of the community, irrespective of color, because their attention is paid to a case when the victim is of the Afro-American race than when otherwise. In the one case the officials go but little out of the way to bring to justice the accused, whether he be white or black; while in the other all the powerful machines of the law are invoked to overthrow The emigration societies are still busy trying to import labor to supply that of the Afro-Americans. They are not meeting with much success in the first place the Afro-American knows what to do with the soil better than anybody else and he does it day in and day out and will continue to do it. The most important of taking him to the Northern cities to do the labor as to bring emigrants down this way to take his place. In both events there will be misfits with intermindable trouble and the Afro-Americans in the circle of thousands of Afro-Americans dumped into New York, Philadelphia, Boston and Chicago to take the places of white men and there will arise a picture of what women might his way to take places filled by Afro-Americans. There are other reasons why emigrant agencies are not working overtime handling recruits. Here is a copy of a cablegram sent to Das Berliner Tageblatt. "New York, July 28, 1907—Emigration has broken all records this last year; namei! 1,027,421 people landed on our shores. Austria-Hungary and Italy, Russia England and Scandinavia. Das Morgan Journal warns the Germans against emigration to the Southern States because they will have to work at the point of a challenge, and no one would want them to die. Some enterprise enigmatics seem in the West, probably impelled this cable, but it is giving southern agencies no pretense. Mostly, they proft tests are being sent to Mr. W. H. Hart, who, it is said, owns Das Merge Junction. Of course no Germans are worked at the point of gene union they happen to be in the plants. Probably some correspondent in the way "writing up" things is working the local chalk-paint, where white, black, are worked under these condiments, why he should have decided the all white were Germans does not appear. In the Afro-America is doing business at the same old stand and not worrying much about emigrants whose coming will be difficult, as they are not going to do the work he is. OBITUARY. Tributes to the Life and Work of Mme Mary R. Hort of Albany. ALBANY, November 10—The Sunday Morning Press published the following: "The funeral of Miss Mary R. Hoyt was held Friday afternoon from Israel A. M. E. church on Hamilton street. Rev John M. Proctor, pastor of the church officiated, assisted by Rev McDonald of Concord Baptist church, Albany, and Rev James M. Boddy of Liberty Street Presbyterian church, Troy. The bearers were: Dr. William H. Johnson, Prof. Charles M. Van Buren and William H. Brent of Albany, and Henry A. Spencer of Rochester, N. Y. The spacious auditorium of the church was taxed to its utmost capacity to accommodate the throngs who came to pay the last tribute of respect to the memory of Mary Hoyt. Race differences were forgotten and some of Albany's most prominent people were to be seen in the audience. Rev Proctor's discourse was able, touching and, as he portrayed in feeling terms the Christian character and noble traits of the woman who had been such a potent factor for good in the church, devoted to the best interests of her husband. The funeral Historical club attended the tearing of the tears. Following the sermon the beautiful burial ritual of the Order of Moses, of which the deceased was a member was read. This sermon was the funeral Historical club attended the tearing of the tears. Among the many beautiful floral tributes were: A cross from Mr. and Mrs. William H. Hoyt, chrysanthemus, Miss Jackson, Smoke wreaths, Miss Holland, Miss McIntyre, pink chrysanthemus, Mrs. McIntyre, pink chrysanthemus, Mrs. Joseph Price. The remains will be interred in the family plot in Schoharie, M. Tebbutt's wives were in charge. Messages of condolence were received from Rev J. H. Este, Jamaica, N. Y.; Rev C. N. Gibbons, Newport, R. E.; John E. Bruce, Yonkers, N. Y." Mr. Bruce's communication was as follows: 'My dear Doctor Johnson; Your telegram announcing the death of Miss Mary Hoyt came during our absence in New York city, and we did not receive it in his hands, but the things he used not assume you that of Miss Hoyt's death was a great shock to us both, for you know that Miss Hoyt was a very superior woman, and possessed native and acquired abilities which commanded the respect of all who were privy to her limited opportunities for improving her mind, and with rare discrimination she chose only what was best, and most useful in the few books which she read, to fit her fog the reformatory and to keep her young mind in the past few years, devoted her time to lessons, and energies. She was very much in earnest, and whatever she undertook to do she did it with all her heart. She was a sincere woman, and was deeply interested in every good work designed for her, and in faith in the promises of God and in the possibilities of her race. She proved by her own life of professions and service what one woman, indulged with an honest desire to do something for God and humble ones, could fulfill of good Goods, and love for our common humanity. "It was my pleasure and privilege to have known Miss Hoyt during my residence in Albany, covering a period of time in which she was a good teacher to say that she was the gentleman of gentlemen, whose sterling worth, high Christian character, nobility of soul, public spirit, and intelligent and active interest in all good works commendable to her," she wrote of their fellowmen. She believed that to labor for man, because he is man, is man's noblest work. I send sincere condolences to her immediate family and to her friends. She has a virtue of respect to the moral and public worth of a good and useful woman whom they believe to be dead. She is not dead, she has merely passed over on to the other side of the river, where Life Eternal is, and with Tennesson sings: 'Sunset and evening star, And one clear call for me! And may there be no meaning of the bar When I put out to sea. "But such a tide as moving asleep, Too full for sound and foam, When that which drew from out the boundless deep, 'Turns again home. 'Twilight and evening bells And after that the dark, And may there be no sadness or farewell. When I embark. 'For though from out our bourne of time and place 'The floods may bear me far. I hope to see my pilot face to face. When I have crossed the bar. 'She has gone and a star in its brilliance he sees. But the light of its beauty we will not forget. "With every good wish, believe me sincerely your friend, JOHN E. BRUCK." AN HONEST STUDENT. From the Atlanta University Bulletin. The treasurer, had returned to Atlanta and gone to his office for the first time. A young man called, who graduated a few years ago. He reminded the treasurer that, when a boarding student here, he had resigned from the scholarship fund, and wished to know how he could contribute to his card soon showed the amount. He was under no obligation to pay. The treasurer was not held as a debt against him. The student's own feeling of honor, that he had once felt of honor, and was now in a position to return the award, and was now in the shot. He would feel the better for his son. This young man is not wealthy, and the sum that he thus paid represented his diligent labor. But the spirit that he somehow cannot help the feeling that his year began unusually well. PROGRAM OF CHILDREN'S HOME Discover of Afri-Americans Driven "Across the Land" Every Year by Produce of Propagate—Humans, and Diversityable Angels of the Transformation—Most Indians" a Lion in Southern White Society. Mrs. Mary Chance Twellr in the Chicago Sunday Tribune. At first blush it would seem that a camel with a bump could literally palm through a cambric needle's eye easier than an individual tainted with even a drop of the fatal African tincture could palm himself off as a bone fide white man in the United States. And yet colored people are doing this thing in drowses every year. It requires neither voluminous knowledge nor great profundity to comprehend why some colored people are tempted to pursue such a questionable course. Let us take a colored man, for instance, who is fairly well educated and is ambitious to make his way in the world. There are comparatively few trades open to colored people. These are generally overcrowded, which means poor pay. The officials of the labor organisations are not lying wake nights devising ways and means of adding Negro workmen to their ranks, to say the least. Our colored friend determines to be honorable, whatever he does. Several times he has answered advertisements and has been virtually employed. After the matter of wages and duties has been settled he has stated frankly that he is colored. Then his services were quietly but quickly, dispensed with. For a long time he knocks first at one door and then another, which he discovers can be opened only by a white man's hand. He becomes discouraged. "What a curse it is to be a Negro in this country," he mutters. Suddenly he looks into the mirror. He has a fair skin and straight hair. Something asserts itself. There are those who say it is his white blood. "What's the use of trying to row against the tide?" he asks himself. "Nobody but a giant can accomplish the impossible, and I am not a giant." The long, lingering look in the mirror occurred, let us say, Tuesday evening at 6:30 o'clock. Wednesday morning, at precisely the same hour, he is a white man, made so by virtue of last night's decision and nature's gifts. He isolates himself completely. He scrapes up acquaintances with nice people, who do not suspect he has the fatal drop. Finally, he is light, by casting his well and which it would be possible for him to have not to hold if his employer knew the truth. Nonsense, says one. If an employer secures the services of a competent man he is not going to stand in the light, by casting him adrift simply because the highly connected with the Negro race. But the facts are against such a supposition. I am personally acquainted with three colored women, two of them young and competent and beautiful, and who were from excellent positions simply because the employer discovered that they were colored. Usually enough, two secured positions in department, stores in the cities in which they were living at the time. Each one lived with her own family and associated with her colored friends, though the company was not personally conspicuous at the respective stores in which the colored clerks were employed. The middle aged woman was one of the cloak department in a large department store. This responsible position for several years before the secret looked out. When it percolated to her employer she was promptly debarred. This woman is as beautiful One of the young women went to Madison, New York to win her squares. Arms with a most complimentary recommendation from the large firm which employed her in Washington, York, she came to her home in Washington. The proprietor of a large establishment in the capital of the Nation was only too glad to secure the services of so qualified a young woman, and she, too, was invited without hesitation that she was only discharged. She was suddenly discharged. Her request I went to intercept with the proprietor in her behalf. He was perfectly honest and frank about the matter, limited without hesitation that she was only discharged. He regretted deeply, he said that he had been obliged to discharge her. But, are you not master of your own invented to inquire. "There was no other time to pursue" he insisted. "For a long time he sold girls' complained because I had placed a 'nigger' in the store. I denied until she was colored at first. I did not know she was myself, until I had investigated the matter. I had brought me indisputable proof of the fact. Well, if you don't care to work in the store with Miss Jones, said I, 'you may then they told my customers about it. They forced me to indigestion of white women come down to me against my employing a 'nigger' saleswoman in the store. They threatened to boycott me, and made things so hot for me. Then they forced me to dismiss Miss Jones in self-defence department store because she was remotely connected with the despised race. The last of the three cases which came under my observation was similar to the first two. A young colored woman in Washington, who did not show the slightest African ancestry, was made forwearing a fashionable tailor establishment for fashion. For employer discharged her, also, when her fatal drop was coursing somewhere her veins. Perhaps no one of those colored, women would have received her walking papers if the employer had been unable to fill her place. But it is difficult to trade or a vocation in which the working class now that a place cannot be satisfactory filled. These cases will show why some colored people are tempted to become white. Even though there is absolute certainty that the chances of success are greater for a colored person who forges his way for the same individual if he maintains the most majority do not yield to the temptation of passing for white. No better proof of this is he cited than the case of a young woman with whom I am personally acquainted. She is the daughter of one of the most courageous and prominent colored man who has produced. Though she is not as fearful as she might easily pass for white, if she can do so, she has an enlisted completion modeled after the Spanish or French. Her hair and eyes are as black as midnight. She has a super musical education. She married a young physician who can also live in an Eastern city, where the doctor has a large and incitative practice. He cided that he would shake off the body of the dunky death, so to speak, and cast his lot with the dominant race. When you should be pleased to his wife the best friend she could have on a small scale and be loyal to her. If she was a large wife, if she were obliged to live a personal life and become family and friend, the husband could not be shaken off, and the wife could not be preserved to revive. They agree to separate on this account. "It is amazing to see some of the daughters and sons of Ham, after the metamorphosis has become an all accomplished person, who is of us who have been reared with them, is disgusting, perhaps. "Do you see that you are asking one of my friends with whom I happened to be on the street car not long ago. "Well, that lady sitting beside him is his wife. He is colored, but she is white. "Are you sure he is colored?" I debit Thomas like; "he certainly does not know how to be," he answered; "he and I like to gather when we were children. At Gen. Grant's funeral in New York we be copied the same robe in the hotel. All of a sudden, a short while after that, he decided to be white, and tried to persuade him to be black. From all his colored friends, acquiring white ones, and now he is completely on the other side." Just then the eyes of the two men met, and they bowed pleasantly to each other. "That man is an exception," said my friend, an average colored person passes for white, colored friends dead, for fear of amusing suspicion among the white ones. I presume. The man who related the incident told me that at least 100 of his own relatives and friends from South Carolina, North East, and West, and "grass over on the other side," as he expressed it. On account of the "Jim Crow" car laws, the impossibility of securing accommodations at the hotels, and because of other hardships many fair, colored people were living in North, where they lose their identity completely. Years ago, during slavery, white masters, who loved their colored children too dearly to shackle their limbs and dwarf their minds, introduced this practice by using black by sending them North or to Europe to be educated as white. It might not create surprise to learn that it is possible for colored people, who look like Caucasians to palm themselves off as white on a northern community. It would astonish some, however, to hear that the feat is sometimes performed in the South, where the whites are surprised and have on detecting the masse and brother; however now may rival the lily, in fairness. I heard an amusing story not long ago, which shows the case with which the transformation is wrought, even in the South. An exposition was in progress in a certain city below the Mason and Dixon line. A man who is colored, but who has never went to visit his sister. She was very enthusiastic about an East Indian with an unpronounceable name who had astounded the natives by his wonderful feats and in that most exclusive white social circle had invited him to their homes, where he transported the hostesses and the guests with wonder and joy by his adroitness and skilful skills. "Herbert," he colored man's sister, to whom I have just referred. "I want you to meet this clever East Indian so much. Come with me and let me introduce you to him. He is at leisure for the day." They wended their way to his office and, behold, the East Indian was there. "Mr. So and So," said the man's sister, addressing him, "let me present my views of the two men met in instant recognition. "Hello, Bert." said the East Indian, reaching out his hand. "Where on earth did you come from? We have been seen each other for years." The East Indian turned out to be a colored man. The "Jim Crow" car law, to applied to the cars of New Orleans, had been in operation just fifteen days, when the city criminal court decided, it was unlawful for drivers to decide which passengers were white and which colored, and this is not in their province or power. This difficulty of distinguishing between white and colored people has recently caused several railroad companies to part with the company that owns the Southern Nine several months ago a wealthy white woman with rich olive completion, was forced to take a seat in a "Jim Crow" car, because the conductor told her that he knew she was colored and he was hard to fool. She was arrested and the railroad for $30,000 comprising on $20,000. It is difficult to imagine what must be the feelings of the coloured girl during the chrysalis stage. Before it develops her heinous call white. If it has a family or dear friends how long does it take him to make up his mind to forsake them for the rest of his life? The inducements to do so must weigh powerfully with him, which such a decision is reached would be easy neither to analyze nor to trace. It would be interesting to discuss how the character of the colored man or woman who pursues such a course must necessarily be affected by the continuous influence by a colored woman may throw some litter on this subject. Her grandfather, who was white, was forced against his will into the confederate army. All of his children were colored, though they were not colored mothers' race. When he entered the army this white father of colored children took his oldest son with him. The father was killed. A soldier in the confederate army, his colored son was naturally supposed to be white, and he was killed. A soldier in the confederate army, his colored son was naturally supposed to be white, and he was killed. After the war, he married into one of the most artisticocratic families of a certain Southern State. In spite of forty years of exile from his colored mother's family the desire to see his only living brother and their children became so great that he journeyed East recently to gratify it. "The door bell rang one day," said the colored woman, who related the incident, "and the maid told me that an old gentleman wanted to see me on important The moment I hied eyes on the stranger," said she, "I noticed a striking resemblance to my uncle Spencer, who has lived here for years, you know. "Is this woman your uncle and extending his hand, "Yes," said I. "Well, I am your uncle John. Surely your mother has told you about me. After we had reviewed the history of ourious members of our family," said the woman, "we wanted to see my children." "Whatever you do, said he 'don't tell them who I am.' He refused fatly to see my husband for fear he might be traim in some way. 'My husband is a gentleman,' he said. 'Who would not see my boy Julius, who is fair, he lamented deeply that such a fine looking boy should be brought up as colored under the existing condition of things in this country. All of my children do not like Julius, who is fair, he lamented deeply. Surely you would not advise me to rear one half of my children as colored and the other half as white. As I looked at this old man," said she. "I could not help, notleing the difference between one who had lived a falsehood all his life, and my handsome uncle John, my uncle Spencer, just an fair as uncle John, but who has never deserved his family, and has always been loyal to his race."

It has no more bowels of mercy for its victims than a tiger for its pet. It strikes to wound, and it strikes to torture them. And the people who witness the brutality have no bowels of compassion either. If one of these good people were to see a driver abusing his people on the street he would not hesitate to interfere and to get between the cruelty of the driver and the horse. Here in America we have societies for the prevention of cruelty to dumb animals, and societies for the prevention of cruelty to children. But who has ever heard of a society for the prevention of cruelty to colored men, women and children from American colophobia? No one; and each we say, No one. And yet the sufferings of the dumb animals at the hands of the speaking animals are light in comparison with the sufferings of colored people under the cruel knife of American colorphobia. Wherever the two races come together this cruelty is inflicted by one race upon the other. God alone knows how much a sensitive colored child endures because of race prejudice at the hands of white children in the public schools where the two races are educated together. Just a word flung by a white schoolmate at such a sensitive child has power to inflict more pain on her in an instant than the public schools or a brutal day under the cruel bralive driver. The horse suffers physical pain while the child feels pain in her soul, the pang of the mouth in her heart. She goes to her desk with the recollection of t. returns to the recollection of n. of the criminal word ranking in the fresh blood it lays. What that school thinks five minutes of what has happened of the acc and continuing sufferings of that child at the hands of American Nation and Nazi Germany. Therefore she thinks all the children defended a little self in which she must carry dur- ing that day within her poor school attentant. Oh, were she a friend of her feelings by a that school would not feel of its lot, would not rush to save the cats? Is not a colored child other than a little bird, and is laboration of her feelings by a white children of more little children of the jaws and the claws of the not these little ones deserve with a long name to protect them family of other children with And if so, who will form women to guard them from other kind? With right here in Boston is published *The Duck Animals*, a monthly paper devoted to the cause of the horse, the dog, the cat, the bird, to the whole tribe of domestic and wild animals. It speaks every month through pictures and the printed paper for those who cannot speak for themselves. It places at the top of its first page these noble lines of Couper, not water on my list of friends.

It is the in the churches, in the schools, in the cities and villages. It is song of the rich, it is song in and slums of the poor. It is the whole American people when and when it sets, and in and work hours the terrible burden of this implacable race hatred and falls eternally upon the ears of children and into their lives and lives into the lives of their You are different from us and because you are black, and better than you because we are can principle which makes all makes or which ought to make makes for nothing in America in of this diabolical spirit of their own race in the battle of the sea. He was a commander in the army of any number of the troops on his side from the white and poor sons of this cruel race in America. And he entered the battle of the sea, his wife being the texture of stone within his breast whenever he come into contact with the white race in this beautiful democratic and Christian country of his. And he meets this race everywhere, and his hatred bile into his flesh, and the cruel things of its race contempt cut deep into his soul. The dumb animals in our midst have their societies for the prevention of cruelty to them, poor things, and right glad we are that they have. Hound about their wank and puffish instincts to shield their children from the brutality of American Humane Education Society and the American Board of Mercy. And we thank God that they are so guarded by the merciful hearts of kind and humane people the land over. But has any one of these societies, has any one of their children the door of their societies, right at the door of their societies, right at the door of their societies, where kindness and mercy are shown to horses and dogs and cats, but none to the man or woman or child who happens to be black, who stretches out to them hands asking for justice, for a fair field, for each opportunity to be and to do good to the people who be white? And, who of all these thousands of white people think one night in the year of the mental sufferings of this vast multitude contended and wrogged by the white people of the country, not because they are poor or ignorant, or even bad, but merely because, they are black. What are the sufferings of a horse at the hands of a cruel driver, or the sufferings of some homeless cat, or of the dog beaten by some Bill Sykes compared to this cruelty practiced upon one race by another race, a cruelty which strikes the very soul itself, a cruelty which has assigned for ten generations, and which the spirit out of which it proceeds proposes to keep alive, for as many generations to come? It is not in the power of man or the devil of coloriburh to contrive a torture more exquisite than this cruelty, but a cruelty which is white people of the country produce daily in the minds and hearts of the colored people of the country. This thing of being lated for something which one cannot help, of being so scorned for some bodily quality which it is impossible to change, is about diabolical a piece of world. And yet how many of the 45,000,000 white people of the country can truthfully say that they have not shared in the deep damnation of it? How many in the churches, how many in the homes, how many in the world of business, how many in the schools, how many in the learning and in the public schools, how many North and South, on land and sea, how many, how many of them all have done aught to extinguish this race hatred and race contempt by teaching their conduct, as well as by their bodies, the brotherhood of man and the fatherhood of man, how many of them have in this greek religion on which Jesus founded their religion. They say the reverse by their acts. And because of this contradiction between American profession and American practice great has been the misery in their misery at present, and great in their misery in the future. In view of these terrible facts in a terrible situation do not the colored people need equally with our dumb animals a society to protect them from the cruelty of their children in white people in the misery of their misery in the brutality of American coloriburh? Then let us have such societies, such American bands of mercy and let us have them quickly. ARCHDURH H. GRIMKE. WHY SOUTH LACKS LABOR. Prejudice Hara Afro-American From Many Occupations. "As an unskilled laborer in the cities or on public works," says S. J. Dunn, railroad contractor, of Birmingham, "the Negro is the best laborer the South ever had or will have. For unskilled labor the Negro surpasses all others, and the great trouble now is the scarcity of hands. People who are prejudiced say he gets drunk at every opportunity, but such is the case. The Negro is certainly indispensable to the prosperity of the South." And what this contractor says there are hundreds of others who willingly corroborate. And with this testimony, here in Richmond, for political reasons, he is not allowed to work on the streets, in any of the municipal departments, he is barred as junior, watchman, elevator-man, or what not in all municipal and State buildings. In hundreds of instances, he just this treatment which has used him to seek labor and a home in the North. As a skilled laborer and mechanic he is at the mercy of the necoused labor organizations. The history of the needy skilled labor originated in to all men. Here in Richmond where there is a great demand for skilled labor of every kind, written over the posts of every factory, and made in inscription: "Negro Need Need Aprils" The erection of buildings of all kinds, the manufacturing of Articles of every description, in short, the very wheels of progress of this progressive age are tarded in their movements and inured that exists against skilled Negroes. These are the conditions as they actually exist in the South; these are the conditions that have a tendency to dimm the Negro ambitions and operations as A word more and we are done. This prejudice against skilled NEGro labor is tends to the State, but exceeds control of the workers. As proof of the assertion, we have only to cite that the Legislature of Virginia recently put so heavy a tax upon industrial schools not supported by the State as the work of the State's industrial schools of the State for the education of NEGro youth. This Too, at an age when all the country has the industrial craze, and the State has not a single industrial sector for the whites, while never ever thine? WHO REALLY WAS FROSTBITTEN Independent From The Atlanta Times, in Chicago last week before the National Baptist convention. The tremendous outcalls given him at the meetings Saturday night, and again Sunday afternoon, are the biggest things of the kind ever created and black awards, our refend, J. Max Barber, of The Voice of the Negro, also spoke in Chicago, Thirtey people, and had been liberally advertised. The ongoing flow army building, where Mr. Washington spoke, spanned than 6000 people, and great crowds that fought for admission. To the Editor of The New York Asc; Hon. Archibald H. Grimke, in his obsequent article on the character of, Fredrick Douglas published in The Voice of the New York for the month of November, gives us a glowing recital of the impressions made by that truly great and remarkable man in his work of uplifting the people of his race. We can but alucinently tell that he had been able to have gone all along the line of his work from the beginning of the first days of his labors and shown what were the distresses, the anxieties, and the hardships that he and his family had to undergo in the struggle for the cause of liberty. How the wife, the first Mrs. Douglas worked early and late by the sunlight of day and the burning of the midnight oil at her duties of the household, at work binding, shoes for the factories of Lynn, Mass., and giving her attention and what she could spare in money to aid in the cause of Abolition; and at the same time rearing four children while her husband was away in the labors that engaged the men of whom Garrison, Phillips, Remond and a score of others were a part, fighting for the Eununciation of the people of her race. This was at the time when all was dark for the race with which Frederick Douglas was identified. No sunshine lit up the path the black man trod; all was enmity, hatred and proscription. The children, partook of the ill-feeling manifested on the part of the so-called superior race and were bound down to the oppression that ruled in the dark days when pro-slavery was on deck and in command. It was at this time that Frederick Daughconceived the iden of publishing a weekly paper devoted to the advocacy of the principles of the anti-slavery cause. How he performed work, what tremendous odds he had to encounter, the difficulties of the cause, and the white friends of the Garrison party, who could not tolerate a Negro going into a work in which they considered that only white men should participate, is not as well known as it should be. This he had to face that may be more important, in part, in employing with the cause of Freedom. But he struggled on. With what labor was it? A few know how the work was done, how many sleepless nights, and how many days were given up by his family, his wife, and his children, getting the paper to press, in mailing it, and in setting the type. For years the family worked on, encouraged only by the thought that they were working for the cause in which their father, and mother were interested, namely, the ennumeration of a purpose with no thought of any enrolment but the grandeur of doing good. The mother labored and saved. She it was who went without the luxuries that came and went into the hands of another Mrs. Daughcon, doing anything for the good of the cause for which we had labored and worked unceasingly. To the subsequent wife of Frederick Douglass, poor though she had been, came the results of the saving of the former Mrs. Douglass. To, the family which understands everything connected with the history of the slave trade with money that was paid to his second wife, and the amount lavished on her in equipages, furniture and travel in Europe and Africa, it appears to me that Archibald H. Grimek must have allowed himself a great deal more than the equal allowance of accustom to have his wife and children to herself sufficient food and proper clothing. Ab! in many ways she denied herself, especially during the last years of her life, that Cedar Hill might become to her husband's memory what Mt. Vernon is to the memory of Washington. Mr. Grimek has been into the business of applying to the record of my administration of the estate of Frederick Douglass, over all of which he is welcome to read and ponder. We think that, though unintentional, a reflection is oast upon our father and his children by representing anything that can be contained in the words of Mrs. Douglass, when there is abundance of evidence overwhelmingly true to the contrary. However much we may be chagrined by the soliciting of alms for the purpose of establishing a place for a memorial to our father, it is more than shameful to his wife and children for his wifelessness and suffering for the necessities of life. Ah! that is an evidence of too much zeal on the part of those who would create the impression that our father left his wife in a way that she would be subjected to begging for food and clothing in the manner of clothing like it. The way our father left his widow was not penitless, was not in want of proper food and clothing. He left her well off. That is easily proved by the examination of the legacy left by our father's will and the amount of loss for performance in a duty that was not performed, and the man that was obtained on her property and the tower, all of which amounted to many thousands of dollars. In this scheme of the memorial, no member of our family has been allowed to partake. We have always been true to our father's ideals. In the days gone by we inhored the idea of being hardened by safety, as constant conditions and with anxiety for his return to us from his work in the abolition cause. We have been compelled to undergo all this, but now we have to put up with what we have to do, soundlessly and at the hands of those who have undeniably been misled into conception of facts. What is to be gained by repressing, or rather misrepresenting, the condition of Mrs. Douglas with regard to her being in want? She had plenty. This was well known to myself, as I was the one who paid the money that came from my father's estate and I held the vouchers for the payment. for the patron LEWIS H. DORGLASS Washington, D.C.

DRESS MADNESS OF THE FAIR SEX. Frederick Donglass Center Takes Up Runklin and Couvince Women That Shop Windows Are an Dangerous and Strong Drink — Instances of Mad Extravangance — Little Reform Is Expected. Regular Correspondence of Tun Age. CITICACO, November 20.…Many references have been made in THE AGE to the Frederick Donglass center of this city, so that its friends and well-wishers will be pleased to learn that what was planned for is being realized faster and more fully than was even expected. In no other place in the country, outside of college circles, have so many good agencies of culture and wholesome influences been generated. Up to date the roster of activities, endures kindergarten, a literary club, a young people's lycme, composed mostly of high school students, a department of civics, a woman's club, a sowing class and Sunday afternoon open meetings addressed by some of the most prominent people of the city. The primal purpose of the center to promote a more cordial relationship between the white and colored races is being realized. Mutual interest and respect is being cultivated here and is taking the place of mutual mistrust and indifference. White men and women of culture, influence and importance in the black community, women and men and treat them as delightful discoveries. It is coming to the conscience of some that there is a good deal that is ridiculous in this "race barrier" ahrim. There is such a thing as comradeship in culture, and in cooperation for social progress that the black community higher than "social equality." All kinds of people visit the Frederick Douglas center. They come to learn and to be learned about. They bring with them the best they have in good name, wise speech and knowledge. Every day something good is to be heard and learned in this helpful enclosure. For example, on last Sunday afternoon, Joan Lloyd Johns, the founder and head of the Abraham Lincoln center, told us that what a long time some of us have been waiting and unconsciously learning to know and feel the spirit of the author of "The Stones of Venice," the most noted art critic in the English language and everywhere, however humble he might be. Did it require all this time, the founding of, an institution, the consecrated hearts and heads of so many good people, to bring to us this wholesome message? Do we be the cost of many of our best things? The large audience that listened to this inspired talk on John Ruskin will never forget its heart searching gospel. In speaking of the four fundamental virtues of all mankind's letters to the working men: "Dress Food, Rent and Debt." Mr. Jones had special stress on the first principle, Dress, and it is safe to say that the women present will not soon forget his words, "The dressmaking age. What fools we are, to be sure! One can scarcely blame Killing for his contemptuous characterization of woman as "a rage, a bone and bank of half. Some of us are not afraid of dressing.

J. septembr duces an intoxication as harmful in its moral effect as that other intoxication which is the curse of some men. The emotional taper will resort to almost anything crazed women will do almost anything to dress up in clothes that also cannot afford to wear. A self-betraying smile swept over the faces of the audience when women arranging to meet you ever hear women arranging to meet you perhaps on an important errand? Where do they plan to meet, at the art gallery, the public library or the Municipal Art Museum, Ah, no, but rather at Marshall Fields or some expensive miliary importation. Colored women keep well up to the times in the pursuit of fuss, feathers and folly. A peculiar thing about our situation seems to be that the women who wear a dress will dress the best. It is no unusual thing to dress with a two-dollar hat, six dollar shoes and a fifty dollar gown with all the extravagant accessories, living in one poorly furnished room on a back street. A few evening gowns saw a young woman who wore a dress with a mastic arrayed in a beautiful black silk coat which cost over sixty dollars. She was on her way to church where she said she had not been for a long time "because she did not have clothes suitable to wear" and was paying for this coat by the workday. The coat is paid for Easter will be on hand with its demands for more elegance. For the sake of imitating the peacock, women will sacrifice home, children and even character. Nothing seems too dear to satisfy this lust for fine dressing. What can we do to be saved from this form of slavery? Time and culture must tell. In the meantime the school, the church and other good agencies must teach that beauty of soul is something better and more real than fine clothes; that it is difficult to find the woman. Ex-out spending all and more than she can earn. Why would it not be a practical thing for women's clubs to publish a leaflet on this question from Ituskin or some other wise prophet, for distribution among all classes of women? I have dwelt at length upon this subject because it seems so important and goes to the very heart of our social distresses. The dressy vanity of the well-dressed and cultured sets a rhinous example for those who cannot, but will, afford to imitate this variety. The women are pigmies still the perched on Apses' dressed importance is ignorance, whisher found. The man who marries a girl for her fine dressing usually gets a dress for a wife. It is a common thing to see a woman so elaborately gowned that it is difficult to find the woman. Extraordinary dressing exaggerates the plainness of a woman and betrays the manners of the parvene. In the question, are we brave enough to be sensible on this subject of dress? The question I fear, is more easily asked than answered. Dr. J. H. Mason, financial agent of Livingstone-College, has been spending some time in this city in the interest of the students. He seems to be only another name for the teacher Mr. Mr. Mason has spoken several times in this city to large and interested audiences. He is a man of much eloquence and magnificent and understands the art of holding his audience, as well as of loosening his strings. FANNIE BARNIE WILLIAMS SINS RETURNING HOME.

The celebration of the Garrison Centenary is an event which should serve to unite rather than to disunite the Afro-American people. Garrison is a National character. His labors were devoted to the best interests of all the people, including the slave-holders, whose vile system was destroyed as a result of his labors. It is true that he brought not peace but a sword. It is often that way. But the pruning knife of war is often necessary to save the body of the Nation itself. This is not always recognized until after the work of excision has been accomplished. It was that way in the life work of Garrison. We have watched with much concern the loud-mouthed efforts of the crazy editor of The Boston Windjammer to make a "group" affair of the Garrison celebration, by a ludicrous claim of priority of ownership of the event, as if he or the New England Suffering League, of which he is It, had a patent on it, instead of the whole American people. But on the face of it the claim was sprung for the express purpose of creating dissension and bad blood, a purpose which the crazy editor of The Boston Windjammer is habitually strong on. But the dissension and bad blood have only been produced in spots. They have not affected greatly the minds of people who desire to celebrate the occasion in the broad and generous spirit befitting it, and will do so. It was a patriotic act of Dr. Robert T. Washington in directing the attention of the people of the country to the wisdom and the property of celebrating the anniversary in a proper and general way. The fact that the New England Suffering League had adopted a resolution a long time ago to urge that the celebration be held does not affect the matter at all, because no one person or body of people could have a monopoly of it. The crazy editor of The Boston Windminder would have shown his unselfish interest in the suggestion made by Dr. Washington if he had called attention to the resolution adopted a long time ago by the New England Suffering League, about which few people had ever heard anything at all, and suggested that the celebration should be made a common one among the Afro-Americans and that a joint committee be selected to arrange a uniform program, Dr. Washington suggested that much in his original request that the celebration be observed. The crazy editor would have met half way. But he didn't want any joint business he wanted a "Bronx" celebration, under the auspices of the New England Suffering League. People get what they want in this world or in the world to come, but they usually get what is beginningly "coming to them". Small town find their proper forms of pernicious activity in "groups" and are swallowed up by large masses of The crazy editor of The Boston Wintimer and his new England Suffering League will not be allowed to "hos" the Garrison: centennial celebration; they will have to accept a share of it in common with the others of us. Sectionalism in Federal Office Holding There appears to exist an organization in the District of Columbia having "for its object the distribution of Federal patronage among colored men of the North to the exclusion of the South," the latter, it is claimed, having had a monopoly of such patronage "when there seemed to be no justification for it, politically." We do not imagine that this organization will accomplish any substantial good or have any great measure of success. There can be little strength in an organization which draws sectional or race limbs and which has self-aggrandizement as the fundamental basis of its existence. In another column of THE AGE to day we present the views of Hon. John C Dancy on this question, with special reference to the manger in which Federal offices have heretofore been apportioned among Afro-Americans and the causes which have governed it. Mr. Dancy is able to discuss this matter with a great deal more of fullness than he has done in the interview we have quoted. He is not only a veteran politician, "spell-binder" of high degree, with several sorts of rabbits' feet up his mouth, but he is a veteran office holder. It would be difficult for him on the spur of the moment to remember a time when he was not eating his daily tax payer. We are glad that he has had the opportunity to do this and to grow fat and good-natured while doing it. We can even say that we indulge the wish that he may be able to do it as long as he may have days in the land of the living. The success of capable honest men is always gratifying to us, and Mr. Dancy is capable and honest. We do not agree at all, however, with Mr. Dancy's conclusion that Southern Afro-Americans have herefore been appointed to Federal office on their merits, without regard to section, and because of the services they have rendered the party and the country. This is far from being true. They have been appointed in the past because they controlled the party organizations of their States, or were in good sympathy with Louis who did almost nothing, and this means able and only to be a figure of such offices in their Boston has most of those at Washington and in the foreign service. The Afro-Americans of the North and West, who had small influence with the party organisation, were above aside by their brothers of the South in a manner that smacked of brutality, a fact which in the past we often condemned. Mr. Dancy's case is a good illustration of the point we make. He was, collector of customs at Wilmington, N.C. He was distasteful to the white Democrat of Wilmington and North Carolina. That should not have weighed a doil. But when Mr. Henry Pebbleblow Cheatham of North Carolina was removed by President Roosevelt from the position of Recorder of Deeds of the District of Columbia, Senator Jeter C. Pritchard of North Carolina, whose little finger has more influence with President Roosevelt than the loins of the ten million Afro-Americans, secured the appointment of Mr. Dancy to succeed him. That is all right, far as it wilt; but the position should have been given to some capable Afro-American resident of the District of Columbia. Was Mr. Dancy succeeded by an Afro-American as collector of customs at Wilmington? No; he was not transferred for that purpose. At white man was appointed to succeed him. In the cowardly shuffle the Afro-American people lost a Presidential appointment. Then, take the case of Mr. Judson W. Lyons, the Register of the Federal Treasury. Was he appointed because of his services to the Republican party and the country? Not any more so than Mr. Danye, Mr. Lyons was a candidate for appointment as Postmaster at Augusta, Ga. He had rendered good service to Senator Thuma in nominating Mr. McKinley at St. Louis. He had the State Republican machine with him, and he was the Georgia member of the National Republican Committee. The postmastership was in his grasp, despite the frantic opposition of the white Democrats of Augusta, when Hon. B. K. Bruce died and made vacant the office of Register of the Treasury, Mr. Lyons was appointed by President McKinley to succeed him. Was an Afro-American appointed postmaster of Augusta? Not a bit of it. Mr. Lyons was not appointed Register of the Treasury for that purpose, but to enable the President to appoint a white postmaster, and he did it. By the deal the Afro-Americans lost a Presidential appointment they were entitled to. Our position is further strengthened by the fact that for twenty-five years Afro-Americans of the South have been losing steadily in the number and character of the Federal appointments that have fallen to the Southern States; the loss in this respect keeping pace with the gradual loss of the Afro-Americans as a political power and the weakening of the Republican organizations of the Southern States. It is probable that today, as the outcome of such appointments made by President McKinley and President Roosevelt, there are more white-Democrats holding office in the Southern States than white Republicans or Afro-American Republicans, at least. The result of disfranchisement, and the disorganization or weakening of party organizations in the Southern States was bound to be disadvantageous to Afro-American the holders in the Southern States. The time is not remote when there will not be a Presidential, Afro-American office holder in the Southern States or at Washington or in the foreign service. Such offices will go to the Afro-Americans of the North and the West who have votes and who vote and whose votes are counted. We say this in no spirit of antagonism, for our feelings are the reverse of this; we say it because it is written on the wall. Offices are given to partisans of States where party organizations exist and assist in the election of those who by law have offices to give. Senator Nathan B. Scott of West Virginia who was a member of the party which accompanied Secretary Taft to the Philippine islands a few months ago, is writing an illustrating series of articles on the islands and their people for the Charleston (W. Va.) Inline Matt. Considering the short time he remained in the Islands Senator Scott got a very good understanding of them and their people, and his review of his observations is singularly broad and clear. He was very much impressed with the dominating and helpful part which the Filipino women play in the life of the Filipino people. The writer was similarly impressed when he was in the Philippine Islands. In the home she is absolute and in the business affairs of her husband she is very frequently so. In a recent article in a Manila newspaper Ilon, N. G. Calderon, one of the strongest men of the Filipines, made a strong plan for movements intended to improve the condition of the Filipino women. This is good. The strength of a race can always be measured by the strength of its womanhood. The Richmond Planet, saliently declares that an African American could have done as well in the late Virginia election as Judge Lewis, the Lily white Republican candidate, and regrets that President Roosevelt cannot see the situation as it really is. There was no Negro question to bother the Republican candidates, and yet they were whipped to a standstill. The Lily whites have failed to make good wherever they have had the right of way and we think they will continue to do so. The Southern white man does not take, to the Republican party because he sucked hatred of it from his mother's breast. And it is mighty hard to teach old dogs new tricks anhow. Governor Jekks of Alabama has disbanded the Afro-American military company, at Montgomery, the only organization of its kind in the State. It is said, because the band of the company played "Well Iang Jeff, Davies on a Sour Apple Tree," a short while ago, while on parade. The distance of Southern white men for Afro-American militia organizations is very general. The Governor of Georgia went so far as to prohibit one such company, from leaving the State, as an organization, to participate in the inauguration of President Roosevelt. But we imagine that this sort of thing will wear itself out in time. It is mighty galling while it lasts, however. Memorable Department in Burst of New Britain Studied at Short Range. A long time ago Mr. W. T. Stead of England, who has a faculty for stirring up the social animal in all sorts of ways, wrote a book the title of which Was "If Christ Should Come to Chicago." Now, to those who know, a broad grin was provoked, after the shock which the title produced at first blush had passed away, by the bare idea that Christ would do anything of the sort. Chicago is not a place where saints would go as a matter of free choice. It is a wicked city, set down in the mud of a vast area, as wicked as Sodom and Gomorrah of old, with here and there a Lot and his wife in the midst of the multitude, swallowed up in the vastness and the wickedness of the place. "To say that there are cities as vast and as wicked as Chicago, comes natural to the dwellers within the gates of it, but if that be true, although I have only had the pleasure of passing through Missouri, "you will have to show me." For a great many years I have been hearing and reading about John Alexander Douwie. When I resided in Chicago for a brief time, contributing my mite towards the second election of William McKinley to be President of the United States. I used to pass by the Dowie Temple on Wabash avenue and Star at the outside of the building. I was curious about her in my foyer way what might go in it and what it meant anyhow this visible sign of an idea which the rest of Chicago hanged at it as passed by on my way to the temple. I was intrigued or hunt in the daily newspapers, which are the weather-cooks of public opinion and truth and fallacy and hope and dreams with much of make and little of the news. I was in the rooms on the first floor which directed to the thinking machines on the top floors. What did Douwie stand for? What did this Zoom Touche on Wabash avenue signify? But I did not go further in seeking to understand the newspapers had convinced me that it was crankism, crankism all, and I do not take to crankism; to the thing grounded in humbly and advanced and sustained by the multitude which, as the late Phoebe C. T. Barnum said, "likes to be fooled." And then, John Alexander Dowie came to New York last year, bringing a host of Zionists with him, and set up shop in Madison Square Garden; but New York Zionists, too, were the more hospitable to him. The more hospitable he was, the more sentiments of the multitude, afflicted him and made all manner of fun of him, and howled at him as he and his hosts turned their faces towards home with a great enthusiasm to grow in their hearts. New York prizes, the hospitable to John Alexander Dowie and his idea from Chicago. Does that signify that New York, which is as vart, is as wicked as Chicago? Perhaps it does and perhaps it does not. The point is not mattered in but in degree. But this New York visit of John Alexander Dowie and his hosts and their failure to convert the big metropolis, or to get a serious hearing from the people or the newsmen, only pounded him. And at the inside of John Alexander Dowie and his idea, if such a thing was possible. So, for a long time, the question haunted me in a vagus sort of way. What now: John Alexander Dome stand for?2 He was a professor of African-American generality should ask the same question and get an answer to it, if they can. When I was in Chicago recently in company with Dr. Washington, I was asked to give a great Bandit convention there, at which Dr. Washington was to make an address, he suggested that we should spend a day Zion Day, and, as the suggestion was on my mind, I went to one morning, in company with Dr. Washington, Mr. A. E. Manning of The Indianapolis World and Mr. S. Loving Williams of Chicago, I heard a Northwest voice from Chicago, which is thirteen miles up from Chicago. Zion City is only about five years old. It is in many respects aqeagic city. It is certainly a�pising city. The strain get in the gates oundes upon surgeons from the time he gave the train at the station must be takes the organ. The sun prises are of all sorts, the first and most startling of all being that Zion City is nothing like the pictures of it printed in the newspapers. It is a city all in a class by itself in more ways than one, and prisioners is that it is the only Christian city which I ever entered, or expect to enter again, unless I go back there. More than this it is the only city I ever entered which is governed by the Christian spirit that should rule in the government of all cities, and especially in that of Chicago. It is easy to say this and to feel this without being a Zionite or subserving to some of the methods which underlie atr. Dowie's propaganda but as he is the architect of his idea, and is succeeding with it in his own way and to his own satisfaction. I am willing to accept him and his idea at the value he places on himself and it and size him up accordingly. In the first place, Zion City covers a very desirable and picturesque one, although its topography is entirely that and without architecture, a characteristic peculiar to the landscape artist which the landscape artist is in the future. There are ten thousand people in Zion City. The city is incorporated and has all of the machinery of municipal government, but it does not appear to need it, for the people are able to have small use for the machinery of the law. It has a great big bank, a loan association, a newspaper, a commercial printery of vast proportions, the largest factory in the United States, a canteen of factories, a part of factories and stores, for Zion City industrial live, where every one works and has all of the living comforts that a person can reasonably desire or need; there are no drones; it has a tabernacle where 7,500 people can worship at once; there are high-class hotels (though there are several high-class hotels) where several high-class hotels (though there are several high-class hotels) of food and cooking can be obtained half the prices paid for the same sort of service in Chicago, New York, or other large city, and a large number of the inhabitants of the city residue in these hotels against the time when they set out to work. It is a very convenient and comfortable way of living, if you like that sort of living. The land of Zion City belongs to the corporation in perpetuity. None of it is sold in fee simple, but is subject to reversion to the corporation on a lease of something over in thousand years. This is not the case in the order that the Zion corporation could always control and regulate the affairs of the community along the lines laid down by the founder. No intoxicants, no tobacco, no profanity, no immorality are tolerated in the corporate limits of Zion City. Violators of the rules, or any other law, and low and slow laws made to set out of the city at once and Chicago, or other municipal sink-hole of iniquity. The moral atmosphere of the whole city is signatory pure and invi- everywhere and everywhere you go. You have to know how to work with others. It is important to be an all-purpose law of the place. Everyone gets living wages and besides paying the annual taxes to maintain the corporation gives a tithe of his earnings to maintain and propagate the idea under movement. "Peace be unto you is the purpose of saturation, and all of the industrial work of the work begin the labors of the de with prayer and Bible and song service. Now, what does the Zion: City idea stand for? 1. It is a Christian Socialist experiment quite and simple. 2. It stands for the fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man in the broadest sense, and there is no hypocrisy about teaching or the enforcement of the idea of brotherhood. The equality of all men is recognized and enforced as a principle, white and black and yellow people all standing on the same platform, and I saw it and was given to unfamiliar it. 3. It is a business proposition, conducted on Christian principles, and could be studied to great advantage by our students to understand their relations to their army of employees. There are some very high-class men at Zion City. Judge V. W. Barnes, general counsel of the Zion law department, who showed us over the city, is a man who has been a great friend to us, as he had done in Chicago before identifying himself with the Zion movement. He is a gentleman of rare culture and manners. We did not see John Alexander Dowie, as he was in Mexico, but his humility about us, and we did not need his presence in the flesh to feel that he was with us. He is a wonderful man with a wonderful idea, and if in the exception of the idea he has adopted some method, he is simply on the surface and must be adopted in order to make enthusiasts. If a community of ten thousand people can live a clean, pure, moral life, with Christianity as its law, with no drunkerness, no tobacco using, no immorality, no poverty in it, and little crime, why cannot all communities be conducted in like manner? They can be if a municipality of ten thousand people can be conducted entirely in the interest of the people, without graft, without ex-orkant taxation, why cannot all municipalities be conducted in like manner? They can be. If the extensive industries of an intelligent community of ten thousand people can be carried on in such a manner that all of the people receive a fair return for their labor, so that there is no poverty, no want among the people, and the general fund, the unfrequenc of the labor of all the people, is used for the comfort, the culture and re-finement of the whole people, why can't this be a persevere done among all. It was a great fall out of the pure healthy, moral atmosphere of Zion City, where the rule of all for one and one for all prevailed, into the poisonous, vile and selfish atmosphere of Chicago and the dewlil takes the blindness and prevailed. And what a striphole Chicago is. By contrast with Zion City it is even so Sodom and Gamorrah which we cannot but are not. T. THOMAS FORDIN GORMAN'S CUNNING DISCREDITED. His Schemes Aligned Foreign-born Voters with Thermal Density. The State of New York. The extent of Senator German's blunder in attempting to restrict the suffrage in Maryland by such devices as "grand father" and "understanding" clauses is seen in the fact that the Dao amendment was defeated by 5,000 majority in the State outside of the city of Baltimore. The city was expected to go heavily against the disfranchising scheme, owing to the foreign-born population concentrated there, but Mr. German failed upon the counties to carry it through. Baltimore's adverse majority of some 20,000 was more than enough to kill the amendment, but when on top of that the counties pile 5,000 more, Mr. German's self-assessed role as the master of a white slave and spread the influence of Negro slavery was deemed to be insignificant. The defeat of the amendment was overwhelming that it must be regarded as an empiric case of want of conscience in Mr. Gorman, and this is the reason for the Democratic paper of Maryland The Baltimore Sun. As a test of political generalism nothing could have been more decisive or more destructive. The Sun, in a weighty article, describes that this reversion has emphasized, in the view of the party, the change in the management of their party." Without mentioning the senior Senator, there is no doubt that The Sun calls for his retirement from party leadership. "The reference to German is too direct to be ignored in the remark that the party is not a national organization against whom no section of the party cherished government if they were men not only of political ability, but also unsuccled by the party's welfare, democratic in the fullest sense of the word and not narrow politicalism, but rather a broad-minded organization that new life and strength would be given the Democracy in this State." The final and everlasting overthrow of Senator Gorman would be, it is needless to say, a benefit to the Democratic party not only in Maryland, but also in the nation as a whole. The party is in ranging the entire body of foreignborn voters and their children against a Democratic policy and his personal leadership in Maryland, should be the finishing blow to whatever reputation he ever possessed for shrewdness in political maneuvering. The party to be reunited in Maryland under his control. RACE PRIDE. From The Richmond Planet. It is raining Wednesday and like many others we did not have our umbrella, as we stood in the midst of a group of white bankers, who were vainly chopping for a subsidiary of the downpour of rain in order to go to the meeting place of the association a block below. We moved nonetheless passing the museum entrance. One of them gave a sideway look up to the steps of the New Willard and then it broadened at us and evidently knew that under normal conditions, colored persons are not at us and evidently knew that under normal conditions, colored persons are not at us, "Stay wild son, Nigger!" and hustled down the street, without even looking around to note the effect of his words, and the city as active in meeting along with him. AFRO-AMERICAN LABOR. From the St. Paul, MN Appeal. The Manufacturer's Record of Baltimore has just published the replies to a circular extensively scattered among Southern employers, asking their opinion of Afro-American labor and the possibility of imbuiting Italian or other labor for it. There are some of the "The Afro-American is by far the best employee that we can get." The Afro-American is all right. The Afro-American is worth more to the manufacturer as day laborers than gay three native white men." Milled Afr.American workers pre- vent labor that we have been able to secure." — The movement has been set on foot here and the third anniversary of William Lloyd Garrison. The movement should receive the unanimous support of the colored people of the city, and doubled will—The St. Louis American Eagle. — A timely suggestion has come from Dr. Washington for the observance of the one hundredth anniversary of the birth of William Lloyd Garrison. December 10, 1852, the day of his birth, join in compensating the birth of one of the most illustrious men that ever lived. God never had a truer servant the black man a better friend than William Lloyd Garrison.—The Urbana Informer. — We heartily second the motion of Dr. Booker T. Washington that the Negroes of the entire country join in and celebrate in some fitting manner the 100th anniversary of William Lloyd Garrison.—The abolitionist, Wm. Lloyd Garrison. The date is December 10, and coming on Sunday it will be especially convenient for our people to turn out on mace at the churches and lyceums to do honor to the memory of the great liberator who sacrificed all that we have lost to freedom.—The Louisiana Searchlight. —Sunday, December 18th will be the one hundredth anniversary of the birth of William Lloyd Garrison, one of the greatest champions that humanity ever had. Such an event should not only interest the colored people throughout the world, but also the white people, well, of of of of recognize the grace with which the life work of Mr. Garrison and his co-workers not only freed the black race, but was equally important to a large portion of the white people of this country. More and more, as time rolls on, of all us are enjoying the freedom, unharmed and unminged. I mailed, unharmed and unminged, he fought against slavery with an iron hand. He was a pronounced leader because he had a great conscience, a keen sense of right and justice and a staunch purpose. When we think of him, as asst. Douglas, he held him, asst. Freebick Douglas, and asst. others. He not only as a class of people, but one nation now, our heads in reverence, for their acknowledged leadership at least. Then when the Negro grows hopeless; believes that he is of all classes the most abused and ill treated; public sentiment of state is weak; the people are not in a Garrison, a Phillips, a Doughlass, and then take new courage.—The Seattle Searchlight. - Principial Washington's timely suggestion through the press to the white and colored people of the country regarding the matter of fittingly celebrating the one hundredth anniversary of William Bled Garrett's death on the tenth of December, is meeting with a most hearty response. Especially, we are glad to note, the colored people of the country, acting upon the suggestion, are making arrangements for the celebration from churches, literary clubs, and many other organizations from many of the larger cities and towns, as well as from many of the institutions of learning for the benefit of the people to the effect that they are preparing special programs for the occasion. We hope the graduates of Tuckahoe, wherever they may be, will take the lead in their own communities in this matter, and see the people of their communities, in some manner, showing their appreciation of the difficult work of Mr. Garrison. A circular, which has been especially prepared, containing suggestions for celebration programs, can be secured from Mr. Hutch M. Choney, Poem The Tuckahoe Student. CHARLES W. ANDERSON. Has Done More for Men of His Race Than Any Other Male Soccer- mer. Charles W. Anderson, the colored United States Collector of Internal Revenue of New York city is perhaps showing more tactfulness in the management of his office than any Negro official in the department. He is a dedicated service. He assumed the duties of this very important public trust with the full assurance of the administration and a host of friends, with thousands of his political enemies thrown in, that he possessed the fitness executively and managementally, and the predecessor. Since his idembenhoney, through the exercise of common sense, expected from a prominent party man, he has shown more of the dash in standing by worthy men of his race and party. TNT: The New York Ace, referring to Mr. Anderson on its news column, says: "At the instance of Hon. Charles W. Anderson, Attorney Wilford H. Smith has been appointed attorney general to prosecute election fraud case." This makes five good places which have gone to members of the colored Republican club of New York city the past month. The other four appointees as our readers will serve in the United States Internal Revenue service; Jillus M. Watson, deputy superintendent of elections in the metropolitan district; Eleanor H. McCormick, House; and Edward S. Flow, tool house keeper in the United States Welsh department. The above was written, we learn that Mr. R. M. McCormick, organizer of the Negro National Business League, has been appointed deputy collector under Mr. Anderson. MR. FORTUNE'S COUNSEL. From The El Paso (Tex.) Arc Able. Mr. Fortune's lecture to the students at Thurgood recently was filled with—much thunderous thought. Every sentence had its place, and every word had its name upon which he spoke that the Negro must pursue if he would succeed. A small farm properly cultivated will yield better returns than a big farm poorly cultivated. Mr. William Randolph Hearest of New York is a good Fighter, anyway, whether he is counted in as Mayor of New York or not. The centennial celebration of the birth of William Lloyd Garrison on December 10, it will, seems, will be very general among Mr. American people. It is well. The few American residents of the Isle of Pines are restive under the government Cubs and want the Island named to the United States. They will harden, get what they want. And why don't they come home, if they are dishearted? The frantic efforts of the Hosier's Senior League to get a corner on the Southern side of the road must be gusting many of our articles. The Indianington Record, for example, indignates names pettiness exhibited by those white males as ridiculous, miserable and full. There may be no great deal of money in small farming, but there is plenty to eat and drink, with plenty of steeping rice and fresh air, all of the time; and this is not true with wage earners of large cities at any time. It is better to be a host in the country than a slave or pauper in the city. The railroad and the telegraph are doing more to civilize Africa than a hundred years of missionary efforts. The development of the country calls for a lot of money, and this minor calls for a lot of money, and when people have money they buy, and when they have wants they naturally develop commerce, and a high state of civilization naturally grows out of all this. It will take a lot of time, any year, of course. And there is plenty of time. The Belgian Commissions charged with the investigation of the allegations of misgovernment and cruelty in the Congo Free State, while finding much to concern also finds much to commend. Perhaps this is a reasonable view of the matter, and it encourages, in view of the wild stakes of infhuman cruelties which have come out of the Congo country during the past years. In dealing with a savage people it is difficult always to apply the rules governing in dealing with civilized people. It is well however, in the interest of humanity, to keep a sharp eye on all of the European governments dealing with the militants of Africa. The insurance scandals which have been discharged by the investigation which have been in progress for some time past in New York City has blasted the reputation of many men prominent in business and politics. Insurance is as necessary as banking. The people of all of the States are interested vitally in both systems. The presentation which Senator John F. Kennedy of New Jersey will preside in the party Congress for Federal control of insurance business have the sympathy of a large portion of the American public. The measure should become a law. Insurance business would be regulated and controlled in all of the States by the Federal Government. The banking sector should be regulated and controlled in the same way. Brentality among college men has far fallen under the ban as to be married and when an instance occurs it is always a popular clamor that makes men board and fell. Recently two cadets of the Annapolis naval academy undertook to a difficulty between them by a first but the Young Branch was so badly ill that he died as a result of his injuries that course there has been great indifference to the affair, and the grief felt by the course has warranted the need for a memorial to the school. The memorial is attended. In this Wife of the military cadet be allowed to marry not only in their mode of honour but in civility institutions; the cadets at the law, political need to be taught many things in the code which they know politically. The Russian people are in a state of revolutionary ferment such as that which characterized the events leading up to the French Revolution and the overthrow of the monarchy and aristocracy. The announcement that the Russian Autocrat had waited too long in giving the Russian people a measure of civil and political liberty appears to be justified by the disorders in that country, with which the authorities appear incapable of coping. One of the most regrettable phases of a revolutionary movement is the mass of defenseless Jews, in many instances encouraged or winked at by the government. The Jewish people have been presented more than any other people since the civilization of Jesus Christ, and like the children of Ham appear to be under the ban of a changeless curse. Naturally our sympathies are with the persecuted of all races and lands, and we hope for a day when peace and good will shall rule in all of the earth. Mr. Sato, the oily spokesman of the Japanese Peace Commissioners at the Kintai mouth Conference, is reported to have said "The missionaries are doing a great work in Japan; they teach the people to speak English." Mr. Sato is a very shrewd man. The English language is the strongest of languages for the purposes of literature and commerce, and it is difficult to get any part of the earth where it is not known or where a person who speaks it will make himself understood. The best of the Americans are doing in the Finnish Islands is to teach the natives to speak English language. In approaching the small village in the Canyan town years ago, the writer was as gratified to be greeted on all matters with "flowedly dearly," and the like, Mr. R. H. American teacher, an ex-scoller, Twenty-Fourth Infantry, had a revolution in the language and the of the natives. PREACHERS MUST STUDY From The National Baptist The lazy, indolent, young men and lady, who laugh at books and their humour, are experienced difficulty in church. Those those that they have. The average member has grown weary with the hunting of the notorious preacher, gospel preached; they know full well the man who is not willing to study the matter that agent. The time is proceeding when men who have nified admission to any of the pulpits of the country. SONS OF CLANSWEN.

Children with Blue Badges, & Custodians These Vocabulary Hints to Our Variety of Books—Brown Fitzwilliam Glow Cold, and Books Are Constant—Their Savings Unknown to Our Men of Mouth, But Of From The Thoughts Comprehensible. Written Specially for The Age. Friendship is a precious thing. It is a high privilege for one human soul to unroll itself, to another, bidding it read with kindly eyes, the page of the spirit within. But, alas! the vision of the reader is often dimmed by pitiless limitation; the characters seem blurred and indistinct; we cannot know and sympathise with our brother fully; misunderstandings will arise. Hence are human friendships fallable. When friends grow, cold or fail to satisfy, books offer to us ample compensation. The authors we have learned to know and appreciate, spot or upbraid us according to their fashion and send us back into the world ashamed of our whining and loving our fellows better. Now there be some who say books are cold friends. One misuses, they affirm, the pressure of the hand; the glance of the eye; the play of the mobile features; the infinitely delicat modulation of the voice vibrate with the feeling prompting the speech. However true this may be, books have advantages peculiarly their own. They are always ready to suit our every mood. They never bore us by in- terpolating matter irrelevant to the present fancy. They wait until we summon them, and attend us in the spirit of the call. Where is the human friend of whom this can be said? If we would fish, he would shoot. Would we eat, our friend is vastly tired, and, if he accompany us to table, is the personification of bored politeness. I our mood incline us to shaken shaken, shake shaken. Should we shout, with merriment, we stares upon us with linguious face. On the other hand, our author is eager to fall in with our notion and laugh or cry with us we include, in addition, plough on with them, there ever a friendly guide ready to point out to us this or that beauty in honestly objects. If we are disposed to rise above subluminary things, we have but to draw an amish poet from our shilts hostletride with Dugasus, and mount upward to the star. Not only for their responsiveness should we value books. They bring to us a shared understanding of ourselves—our aspirations, our limitations and our needs. Lives there a man who feels himself fully understood or who fully understands some other man or woman? Understands that thoroughly he will soon adopt all those years the her? Understands Prima her lord as he would be understood? Are there not cruel abysses between the plighted hearts of Strophon and Chloe? These be questions tragically pertinent to human experience. And yet may not Primus and Prima, Strophon and Chloe, find themselves understood by their respective books, the need for a new struggle and stubborn speech, of the necessity of overcoming diligence in telling another of things that lie nearest their hearts? The sympathy of our book friends with us is a sympathy of naked spirit with naked spirit. We feel vividly and without chance of misconception the things they would have us feel. Offtimes they come closer to our hearts than our friends, though it's not enough, for effect's mind now and again express to us clearly and splendidly sentiments of which we have been dumbly sensible in a vague, unattended form, as we are sensible of life without knowing its nature and source. We have pondered at times on the more recent and more long and long growth. The troubled questionings as to the future state have disturbed our breasts. In these moments Roman Horace, Greek Amareon, Persian Omar, the Jewish Ecclesiaries, English Herrick and a score more—frail, fearful children of our common Mother Nature, appalled by him into a bythe terrible heart of the world. Even and and, as they know, they are to us with the questionings of their own spirits and we are comforted. Yes, sorry, the thoughts our authors have thought, the longings they have known, the passions they have sustained have been our own, but, as we have structured and carefully and made up to get their错，we have been the most un멸ly and unmonthly when you have a vague and unmonthly shapen until we chance upon some strong poet soul who has cast them forth from his own breast clearly out, shining and beautiful as coins newly come from the minor; and we have recognized them with delight as the most akin to their beautiful objectives, to the humanlike stirring with our bosoms. We have placed these images of our own spiritual yearnings in some easy corner shelf where we can take them down occasionally and feel the something within us answer the note of this or that master voice even as the modest echoes in some retired valley answer faintly but with truth, melodious responsive when a song arises from a tuneful throat. Friends serve as luxuries in times of ease when the sun shines and the air is like strong wine for exhilaration. In times of storm and stress they are a necessity. Book friends are no exception to the rule. - Happy the man who, when his work is done, can smile with Sam Weller or wag his head depressingly over the machinations of Mistress Joey Sharp; sing a roundelay with jolly Friar Tuck or ride out of Paris with the Three Musketeers. If he be on higher uprise but may he be on lower uprise, he will be of Milton's lines as he contemplates with awe the colossal figure of Lucifer fallen? Or revelling in the music of Tennyson watch the glittering pageant of the Table Round sweep across the page, starring his ears to catch Lumelot's "tire line" and the Lady of Shaltulet's voice shrilling clear, over the smult fields, over the broad bosom of the river, as the lower rides down to the lower bowed Camelot Swim to the lower bowed Camelot Swim, and the poem of Tennyson tells, there are howling herds to offer lines that set one's heart as sighing. There, are infinite delights in these bookfolk comparisons of our leisure hours—when in some cool retreat we pause to watch from after the world so goes, when we flee, in moods, when we flee, all panting and begrimed, from the clang and beat of the struggle for existence to catch our breath and rest while apart from the moles? These moments when the press and our friends are helpless to aid; when God seems very far away and we must fight bitterly for our own hand, come to us all. We look beseechingly for a word of comfort and advice. Then from the pages of some one who has himself been struck with the inspiration that nerves us once more to face hardship and discontagement, nay, even ultimate defeat. And we know that God still gazes upon our struggling with kindly eyes and that the larger, titered words of our past through failure crown our efforts. Thus we are made brave again. To this noble companionship may come the weakling with sensitive spirit, crumbed and brained from early youth by a strong, brutal, hero-loving world. Here may he be humbled, his heart broken, his book friend and find a balm for his pain. The great and fearless soul who in the last week had been so good that brother may still believe that he a sense of brotherly love and many of the same qualities while the second level in her lives—who have died to suffer for the right. "The social worker who battles fear from the haunts of civilization — a soldier militant in a mighty war for the conquering of the dark places of the earth to the Kingdom of Truth and Light — may gain from the contact with books the inspiration and strength that he needs. He is an individual: source of strength and resilience in his will and strength little in return. For he has all influences that bring relaxation and uplift—the amenities of civilized life, Music, Art and the association with his kind—in that place of pleasant memories, called home. If he turn to his shelves and make friends with his books, not only for comfort and replenishing do they serve him, but day by day he grows from contact. Day by day he lays up purity and diligence in his life, longer balance. He receives more than he gives out of himself and thus increases in spiritual depth and in potency for good. If books be for nourishment to these missionary sons of strong lightened races, rich in the gifts of heredity and the traditions of their kind, of what saving usefulness must they prove to those individuals of the backward peoples of the world, they must be feasted with the Nine, return to their own kind to struggle for their uplift? For the most favored of men to realize his best self, noble association and intelligent sympathy are needful. We give these proxies to our culture neither one nor the other. They are pariads. They are and are of our prejudices and the nether millstone of their own ignorant masses. They may not go up, for our race pride is inexorable. Their own pride prevents their desecending. Thus they are shut off from the environment that keeps a man spiritually and intellectually fine. In spite of their restricting demands, they must demand that they preserve their ideals and make them potent forces in their lives. Whether shall these unfortunate turn for association and sympathy? To God! Alas, he is very high; man can but barely apprehend him by faith. To God! Clearly he is sinless and united is scorned by passions and stained, with dishonor. Our parish must have contact with the hearts of the earth. He needs the sympathy of the church alone, and must be raised alone consecrated and ennobled by their ideals—apostes of the higher life, dwellers on the small table-labors who have strung up from the dark woods. His refuge is in Moses, the orphan of the darker traxes, in common with his sorrowing whilther brother, may turn; lost, yearning after sorrinal companionship with living men and tobed in his sitting, he grow from his own embittered heart the draughts of truth he imparts to his people. And so mankind may rejoice that God has been kind to his children in giving them those who make books, wherein-whatever he our condition; whether we seek our authors for pleasant relaxation from Life's little businesses, or whether we come bringing a spirit heavy with tears so we have power to read, we may find what we seek in the pages on which these friends of all humanity have contributed to its common good. GEORGE D. JENIFER. TRAFFICKERS IN RELIGION People Recent "System" Operated By and For Preaching Elders. To the Editor of The New York Age: As the conceived leading mouthpiece of the race in these sections, anything operating to the disadvantage or hurt of any or all of the race you so ably and consistently champion must to a certain extent, interest you. Such must evidently be the case in the recent continued A. M. E. church troubles in Greater New York. It must be apparent to you, as well as your readers, that there must be a cause for such troubles, and since they have not ceased, such cause must have become an irritant. The most recent case proceeded it. I refer to the trouble at St. John A. M. B church in Brooklyn. Rev. Bell was brought into the conference specially for St. John to relieve the Rev. T. B. M. Campbell, who was accused, as were other leading pastors of the conference, of not raising the presiding elder's assessment. The new pastor found, like the old one, that it was impossible to raise the presiding elder's assessment, elder by persuasion or coercion, so long at least as to prevent presiding in offence, as to pressure and publicly utter by the congregations and officials of several of the leading churches. These conditions do not obtain in Brooklyn or in Greater New York alone; they are, with very few exceptions, universal in the entire New York annual conference. The ministers, from a four-member delegation, preside either go out and raise his assessment by personal solicitation among their friends of both races, or take the bread out of the mouths of their own innocent children by "digging down" into their own pockets and taking, yeah, even their ass cost, to pay him and let them eat his bread, and serve as well as from direct information from many of the parties concerned. Any minister who cannot, or will not, raise the assessment under such circumstances is as meselessly and pitilessly "punished, either at conference or before, at if fewer than the greatest crimes in India. In fact, if fewer than the greatest elder in all his operations, whether of the crime description or not, has become a crime never overlooked by the presiding elder and "those higher up." I say "those higher up," as the bishops are almost invariably led, or mired, by nothing less than religious traffickers, or to be more liberal, traffickers in religion. The "System" as now operated, is wholly a financial one; and promotions or changes of ministers depend entirely on the standing of older, less fortunate minions of the wishes of the people, being foisted on congregations whom they are, very often, not qualified in every respect, to serve. So long as these conditions obtain, so long will there be church troubles affording no shelter to the welfare of the A. M. E. church but, as she largely influences it, the entire race. Then, there are ministers, whose chief qualifications are in their clothes; ignorant, monthy fellows, with lines like belows, who go around continually making men infinitely more qualified in life, doctrine and attainments, but who from native refinement lack their "call" for the purpose of amplifying them. These generally are fellows who any trick, any dirty work to effect, pose, and until either the bishop awake to the actual conditions and change them, or the people rise in righteous indignation and change them themselves, they will continue to work out their disastrous consequences on the lives of I.

A trade course usually occupies three years the first in the trade school; the second in one of the productive industries, where the student gets an idea of the commercial value of his work; and the third in the trade school again, where the course is completed. Besides offering opportunities for teaching the student the market value of his work, the productive industries, including the various shops, two large farms, and the boarding departments, enforce Humont's principles of self-help, by providing the students with work for which they are credited on their accounts. Each trade is taught with a view to supplying the special needs of the communities to which the students expect to go. The largest number of students take up carpentry, and to this has been added instruction in bricklaying, painting and tinsmithing, in order to give the all-around mechanical training which is so greatly needed in the isolated country of districts. ```markdown ``` of the South and West. The mental and moral improvement which is made through the careful work exacted of these young men is in itself a result well worth the effort and expense of such training. In the domestic science department the young women are prepared to teach their people the art of home making, sewing, dressmaking, laundering, cooking and housekeeping. A special course prepares advanced pupils for the position of matron, lady principal, or domestic science instructor. A summer institute of six weeks is held for the colored teachers of the South, especially those of rural schools, to afford them opportunity for studying methods of teaching the common school branches, and such Simple industries as bench life work when he has been educated to think and to act in an intelligent way. But on the other hand one might be a profound thinker, one might be an expert bookkeeper, or a good salesman and have no books to keep nor goods to sell. It is therefore extremely important that business establishments of various kinds be owned and conducted by our own people in order that our young folks of preparation might find employment in every avenue of life, and keep pace with other people who travel the highways of success. It is contrary to the laws of humanity to expect certain positions of white business men, and it is folly in a certain measure to prepare oneself for a particular position or service with absolutely no hope of obtaining such a position or being given an opportunity of performing such a service, still if we prepare ourselves for only one or a few of the positions of life we are grossly criticized. work, cooking, sewing, upholstering, agriculture, and dairying.

A regular system of correspondence is carried on and reports are asked of each student and graduate, at least once a year. In this way the needs of the communities are studied and the results of the work are to a certain extent known. The total number of Hampton's Negro graduates is 1,158, the number of Negro-ex-students, not graduates, over 5,000. A much larger proportion of those who now enter the school remain to graduate than was the case in former years. Of 277 Negro trade-school graduates, over 60 per cent. are known to be either teaching or practicing their trades.

It is impossible for a man to bring up a family on the salary that is paid to a country teacher in the South. Herton's plan is to give instruction in trades or forming to those who are to become teachers in rural districts, thus leading properly trained men and women into the country schools, and of the same time providing means whereby they can supplement their meager salaries. Over 25 per cent. of Hampstead's graduates are farmer or mechanic.

It has often been said that if Hampton had done nothing more than to train Booker T. Washington its work would have been well worth all the money and effort it has cost. But Hampton car point not only to Booker T. Washington and Tuskegee as examples of its handwork but to hundreds of other men and women who on a smaller scale but with a like consonance are striving to heaven the whole lump. Notwithstanding the temptations and difficulties of reservation life Hampton's policy has been to send her children back to their own people where, through the strength and knowledge they have gained, they will be able to aid others in trend. FALLACY OF LILYWHITEISM. It Must Always Play Into the Hands to Southern Democrats. The election result in Virginia deserves attention because Judge Lewis, the Republican candidate, conducted his campaign on the idea that it was a good thing to have disfranchised the colored race by means of the recent constitutional amendment. His theory was that, with the Negro eliminated, he could win to the Republican' ticket thousands of voters who would naturally affiliate with the Republican party were their residents of Northern States. But Judge Lewis failure along this line has evidently been complete. The Democratic plurality is as large as it was in 1901. If he won over Democrats to any extent he lost the vote of every colored man in the State whose education and property enables ing the ways of Christianity and civilization. Of the Indians who have been taught here during the past twenty-six years, seven hundred and twelve are living, and according to the best information obtainable have been classified by their work and influence as follows: Excellent, 154; Good, 154; Fair, 154; Poor, 42; Bad, 8. According to this classification, 518 returned students are entirely satisfactory, 50 have poor records, and 154 amount to but little either way. --- The first three Indians were graduated from the academic course in 1882. Since then ninety-three (including those of 1904) have been graduated. Of this number seven have died and the others rank as follows: Excellent, 49; Good, 23; Fair, 7; Poor, 4; Bad, 1. Twenty-one of these have taken post-graduate courses at Hampton and seventeen have taken advanced courses elsewhere. All those classified as "good" live Christian lives, are industrious, temperate, moral—in a word, those who may be considered as examples worthy of emulation by the less favored of their people. As a rule, we believe that these are the ones destined to accomplish most辛苦 a slow-moving people like the Indians, gradually raising the race to higher ways of thought and life without the use of extreme measures such as grate upon the sensibilities of the old Indians and are apt to offend rather than help them. At the agencies where the Indian returned students are to be observed in the greatest numbers, it is found that most of the important positions—those of interpreter, clerk, head farmer, and policeman—are filled by the educated In- dians, and nearly every place in the trade shops, except that of foreman, is filled by boys who have learned more or less of a trade at school. In the boarding schools, one or more teachers will usually be found in the classrooms and school in industrial positions. Among the camp schools, little oases in the deserts of empires, a young educated Indian and his wife are very often in charge, doing their best teaching by providing a living object lesson, not only to the children but to the parents. At several of the agencies influential societies have been up among the returned students, holding the leads as together, and sustaining the work, these organizations have treated as political as well as of ethical value, supplying the places made vacant in civil affairs by the deposition 1. The school is very inadequately endowed. No tuition is charged any student, this being provided through scholarships. The Government provies $167 a year for the board and clothing of each Indian student to the number of 120; about $18,000 is received from the Government appropriations from the Land Grant and the Agricultural and Mechanical College Funds; in addition to this income, however, it is necessary to raise through voluntary contributions over $80,000 annually, in order that the young people of these two races may receive the industrial training which will prepare them to aid in uplifting their people from the ignorance, poverty and sapiensition which is a mence, not only to the South and West, but to our entire country. him to meet the new registration tests. There are 300 such colored voters in Richmond and the Republican candidate lost every one of them, his total vote there amounting to only 422. It is possible that in the future Republican campaigning on the Lewis theory will prove successful but its first venture is not particularly encouraging. The Virginia Demogats simply reasoned that, if the Republican candidate approved of the disfranchisement scheme, the Democrats party deserved credit for having forced its adoption and as well deserved the reward of their votes.

No amount of keeping ear to ground, and of soounding sentiment, can find in any direction a call for the learned gentleman to run for office from either whites or African Americans. In fact, both sides will not expose him to unimililated rumors. He follow. But he got his papers and is now a full-fledged canidate for Aldermanic honors. He will not succeed; for his antecedents and career among us in trucking to all classes except his own, his villification of every man, his unimililated rumors, and Wesley, his attempts to rule Cambridge through Trenton Row will all end in signal defeat. The most unkindest cut of all wanderlivered by the Good Government League, which published in all the great dailies of Greater Boston the诗集 "Some Moses Newsome is totally disqualified because of financial irresponsibility." On the other hand, Wendell C. Tucker, the candidate for the Council, made a manly plea for support from the public, saying, "the great" man who has fallen, the support of his people will be given at the polls, for we think he is repentent and has seen the error of his ways.

His appeal met with a response that has not been equaled by Boston by any other. By now $1,200 in two weeks; and in that time all classes have vied with each other to help save the sacred office. A very pleasant social was held at the residence of the Misses Belle and Alice Chapman, at the West street house on the third floor of their friend.

American ministry of New England, Representative Googins and Ransom of Boston were present, with many other visiting clergymen. Speeches salute and good cheer reigned.
