COUNTY CHAIRMAN FIGHT. HALPIN TO GO OUT; PARSONS AND OLCOTT THE CANDIDATES. Pitt's Declaration of War on Odell and Halpin Likely to Result in a Drawn Battle, Halpin Being Forced Out and Parsons Put In to Save Odell's Peace—Olcott Popular Among Afro-Americans—After Interview With President He Declares Himself Still in the Race. Junior Republican political circles have been deeply stirred by the fight which was opened by Senator Thomas C. Platt against Governor Benjamin B. Odell, Chairman of the State Committee, and William Halpin, president of the New York County committee, who is always locally the recognized party leader and distributor of the county patronage. Senator Platt opened the battle by one of his characteristic broadsides, in which he declared that Halpin must go, and made the assertion that out of the men whom he had discussed with President Roosevelt for the position, the President had suggested Congressman Jacob Van Veen Otelt. The Senator immediately invited the district leaders to call on him at the old political fort, 49 Broadway. Immediately upon Governor Odell's entrance into town everybody got busy, and the leaders of the two chans began uncovering for all the strategic advantage possible before the real battle on December 21, when the new county committee is reorganized. * Interest among Afro-Americans has become very intense, but all, with the possile evolution of one, are lined up against Mr. Halpin because of his attitude toward them in the distribution of patronage, and particularly because he recommended and worked for a white Republican to succeed Hon. Charles W. Anderson as commissioner of racing accounts. There are eighteen Afro-American members of the county committee. With Mr. Gilchrist Stewart, county committeeman from the 8th Assembly district, pressing Congressman Olecott's candidacy with vigor, there was an opportunity which 17 members of the committee decided to avail themselves of—to vote for a president who they thought would be more just in the distribution of patronage. Every Assembly district organization was lying up in the fight upon one side or the other. The 27th Assembly district decided to bring out Mon. Gherhadi Davis as an independent candidate, and his nomination was seconded in the cause of the 27th Assembly district club Mr. William H. Bather. The 31st Assembly district issued a manifesto demanding an independent candidate. The 25th Assembly district brought out Congress Parsons as a compromise candidate who was not allied to either faction, and General Hirpins韧韧ly endorsed his history. Hirpins韧韧 had been obliged to therift of the senator strong against the present clerk Mr. Hulpin withdrew at a conference district leaders, called in the Avenue hotel, in favor of Parsons. The executive committee of the county committee by a vote of 25 to 7, with five absent, decided to present the Congressman Herbert Parsons county committee on December "assman Olent left for Washington night, and after several convo with the President returned.

JURY AT ODDS IN SMITH CASE. Fair Charge to the Jury. The case of James K. Smith, who was charged with felonious assault with intent to kill upon Patrolman, now Sergeant Walsh, and whom both the police department and the district attorney's office are making a hard effort to send to the penitentiary, was on trial two days last week in the General Sessions Court, Part I. The jury, after being out two hours, disagreed, standing eight for acquittal and four for conviction, for assault in the second degree only. Assistant District Attorney Appleton represented the prosecution, and Attorney Wilford II. Smith the defense. Judge Goff, in charging the Jury, delivered himself of a dissertation upon the race question, which, from a judicial standpoint, was logical and fair. He told the jury that the Afro-American citizen in this country should have the same rights, the same protection and the same judicial consideration as any other citizen. He instructed them that he sincerely hoped that he in the jury who would let prejudice which regarded as insidiously hostile to the spirit of this country, enter at all into his judgment and consideration of the case. The fact that Smith was an Afro-American and Walsh a white man and a police officer should be eliminated from their minds and their decision made up from the points of the law and the evidence. Attorney Wilford H. Smith made a convincing and brilliant plea to the jury, and in addition he made several amendments to Judge Goff's charge, every one of which was sustained by the Judge himself before the jury retired. This case was an example of the determined effort being made to send James E. Smith, to the penitentiary in violation of all fair play and legal duty. On Thursday morning he was brought up in the Special Sessions for "rioting," though with his counsel nor his friends had the slightest intimation that such a proceeding would be undertaken. His case was called with all of the witness of the prosecution there, but with none for the defense. Mr. Gilchrist Stewart, who happened to be in the court room, appeared for him and fought the district attorney for an indemnment of the case, which he acquired. While whmile. Mr. James E. Smith, who was Smith's bondsman had got all of the other officers notified Counsel Smith, who was soon on the scene and for a while the fur was flying because of this unwarranted attempt to put Smith's liberty in jeopardy without a witness for him or any intimation that such a thing was to be done. Steps will be taken by the Colored Citizens' Protective League to raise funds to fight this case to the last stage, and the co-operation of all citizens is desired. This is a test case to decide whether or not a citizen may protect himself from personal assaults by police officers.

INDUSTRIAL SCHOOL FOR ORPHANS. Addition Planned by Howard Anylum— Liberal Collection at the Meeting A liberal response was made Thursday night, by over one thousand people, white and Afro-American, who gathered at the Y. M. A. Memorial Hall, Brooklyn, in the interest of the establishment of an industrial building for the Howard Colored Orphan Asylum. The meeting was in charge of the women who are interested in the asylum. Mrs. Gordon, wife of the superintendent of the institution, pronounced the invocation and a chord of twenty-five of the orphan children rendered a chorus. Mrs. J. W. Whitluth, president of the Woman's Auxiliary to the board of managers of the institution, was temporary chairman. Mrs. Mary J. Annable, a well-known W. C. T. U. worker, made an element appeal in behalf of the orphaned children. Mrs. Fanny Jackson Coppin, for thirty-five years principal of the Institute for Colored Youth, was to have been present, but was prevented by illness. Her sister regretted and a message, which was read by Mrs. Florence Ramsey Harris, a teacher in Mrs. Coppin's school, Mrs. Coppin wrote in part as follows: "Among the many courses which appeal strongly to our hearts, there is not one which touches a deeper chord of sympathy than the course of the children, and mother to day. His hard need to use Take this child and nurse it and I will give the child waits." "The javantie courses of the city, where young children are brought up for minor offices, tell their sad and painful tale of those who are found there. Older colored people find great difficulty in getting homes in respectable localities, even when they are fully able to pay their way, and what most be the condition of a child, no mother, no father when no man is available. A wise man in speaking of the necessary elements of an education, said he would be satisfied with the ten commandments and a handcraft. I think the Brooklyn Colored Orphan Asylum, with its industrial annex, can surely accomplish this necessary course of study and training. I'm sure you will bear with me when I say all kinds of work ought to be mueculated in the very beginning of every child's education. To do common things well is a very uncommon art, and your children will find as much as they need that the knowledge of how to do ordinary work in an unusual way will open many a door that would otherwise be closed to them." The Rev Dr. Charles S. Morris of the Abjessin church, Manhattan; the Rev James H. Gordon, and the Rev Dr. William T. Dixon, of the Concord Baptist also made interesting addresses and appeals for the needed industrial building. The reception at the institution in the afternoon was largely attended. STERLING ELECTS NEW YORKERS. Dr. Gilbert and Brooks New Trustees of South Carolina College. GREENVILLE, S. C., November 27.—At a special meeting of the board of trustees held recently Rev. M. W. Gilbert and Rev. W. H. Brooks, both of New York, were elected trustees of Sterling College. The students and teachers were "clad to welcome Dr. D. M. Minus, the president, on his return from his visit to New York city. The college enrollment is greater at this part of the term than ever before and is still increasing every day. A most instructive and practical address was delivered by Dr. Thomas (white), editor of The Baptist Courier, of this city, last Friday, afternoon. He touched upon the value of books, the value of work and the value of character. He also congratulated the school on the improvement it has made. For the value of celebration on November 13 for the first time in the ten-year history of Sterling college. Prof. I. G. Penn of Atlanta, Ga., assistant secretary of the Epworth League of the M. E. church, delivered the address, which took the large audience by storm. Prof. Penn preached a powerful sermon at John Wesley M. E. church Sunday morning to a large audience. ART PROMOTERS' RECITAL In Feature Remarkable Piano Playing of Miss Murierie Greve. The third annual recital at Madison Square Garden Concert Hall Monday night brought out a good-sized audience and introduced to our New York public three new artists. Miss Marjorie Groves of Boston played Reinecke's Ballade in A Flat with ample technique and firm authority. She responded to an enthusiastic encore with "Fruitingarsuchen," by Sindling. We do not hesitate to say that we think Miss Groves, with possibly one exception, the best pianist in the race who has appeared in New York. Mr. Felix Weir of Chicago came up to and in some respects surpassed, the expectations of some of our best musicians. His technique is proficient, and he plays with a keen sense of the emotional value of a composition, but his tone seemed thin and small. Still, he is young, and we feel sure that with a few years' judicious work Mr. Weir will become a more rounded artist, that his tone will be more full and vibrant, and that he will be more sure in the qualities that go to make up good violin playing. After the "Fantasia," by Vieuxtemps, he gave a "Humoreske," by Dvorak, which was very gracefully played. Miss Armstrong, soprano, also from Boston, was handicapped somewhat by the selection of her songs, which were rather too student-like for concert purposes. Some of her tones are very pleasing, but the voice still lacks the distinct quality come with more thorough cultivation and give variety in tone coloring. The management, through one of its officers, craved the indulgence of the audience for the failure of Mr. Williams, the tenor of Cleveland, to appear. He was unable to come him was rend; it spoke of a sore throat and sounded very fictitious. The Williams and Walker Glee club brought the concert to a rather late close with tumultuous success. We do not want to think that such a splendid band of men possessing so much individual merit, that has, by Mr. Elkins' capable direction, been brought into a homogeneous and artistic unit, is resting on its haures; we rather prefer to think has the, for appearances, or the lack of time, prevent them from adding to their already well-known repertoire. Mr. Craig conducted his orchestra at intervals during the program in some well-played selections. We venture the question: Whom do the giving of such recitals promote? We do wish they might promote the people sufficiently to realize that 9:30 is not right or in any sense necessary hour that is announced to begin at 8:30. By actual count fifteen people were in their seats at 8:30. We hope this tendency will be corrected at the next Promotion. THE TIGER'S HEAD ON THE WALL. New Offices Fitted Up for the United Colored Democracy. The new offices of the United Colored Democracy at 103 West 29th street, have been handsomely fitted up with fine carpets and elaborate office furniture. The walls are adorned with a large tiger's head, and photographs of Leader Charles F. Murphy, Richard Croker, Chief Edward E. Lee, and the different district leaders for the past ten years.

Besthe Progressive Lyceum Will Celebrate the Centenary. The Garrison Day program at the Bethel Progressive Lyceum, Brooklyn, will be as follows: ASSISTED AT LYNCHING. Afro-American Took Part in Hanging Murderer of White Man MEMPHIS, Penn, November 23.—Dave Sims, the Afro-American murderer of Parson Jones, manager of Springfield plantation, south of Memphis, was lynched yesterday morning by fifty men, whites and Afro-Americans, who had sought him with bloodhounds since Sunday night. The murder followed the discharge of Sims on the Saturday night previous. Late Sunday night Sims, by giving the name of a white neighbor, enticed Parson Jones to the veranda of his home, and blew his head from his body with buckshot. At once two posses of fifty men each were formed for his capture, one being summoned by the sheriff, and the other formed of white and Afro-American friends of the old slave man. The latter reached Sims first, but when officers came up the prisoner was turned over to them. Later the first crowd repented their action, and stopping the special train hearing the officers and Sims took the prisoner away with them to the scene of his crime and hanged him. Burping was suggested, but overruled by the majority. New Organist at Concord. Professor James F. R. Wilson, the well known organist, has accepted the postidio as organist of the Concord Baptist church of Christ, succeeding Mrs. Mary Perkins Parsons, who had served in that capacity for many years. WASHINGTON IN SOUTHWEST WASHINGTON IN SOUTHWEST TOUR THROUGH ARKANSAS, OKLA- HOMA AND INDIAN TERRITORY. Throngs of Best White and Afro-Ameri- can Citizens Followed Him Where- ever He Went—Ovations at Little Rock, Pine Bluff and Other Citien- Strong, Friendly Words of Appreciation from Leading White Men— Free Special Car for the Party— Vault Will Make Relations of Race More Kindly. Special Correspondence of THE AGE FORT SMITH, Ark., November 22.—Dr. Booker T. Washington and a party, consisting of twelve persons in all, concluded at this place last night a tour in the interest of the general education of the Negro which has been in more than one respect a most remarkable on. In the party, in addition to Dr. Washington, were his secretary, Emmett J. Scott, E. Davidson Washington, his younger son, J. R. Cox, stenographer, and six members of the Negro Business League of Little Rock, namely, John E. Bush, Judge M. W. Gibbs, C. W. Keatts, W. M. Alexander, Bryant Luster, and Chester Bush. The tour included a trip through Arkansas, where Dr. Washington spoke at Little Rock, Pine Bluff and Fort Smith; through Oklahoma Territory, where he spoke at Oklahoma City and Guthrie; and through Indian Territory, where he spoke at South McAlester and Muskogee. Dr. Washington and his party started from St. Louis on Tuesday night, November 14, and were met there by a special committee from the Little Rock Norges Business Lease, composed of Mr. John E. Bush, who arranged the itinerary and the details of the entire trip, Mr. Keattus, and Mr. D. G. Hill, publisher of The Moaic, Guide. The party reached Little Rock the next morning and were met by a reception committee of thirty-five members. Dr. Washington's meeting in the afternoon at the opera house was one of the most remarkable affairs of the kind ever seen in that city. A theatrical engagement was suspended to permit him to speak. He was introduced by Federal Judge Jacob Trother in flattering phrase. Among other things he said: "I have seen that the mayor of this city, who is unavoidable from the city, to extend to you in his behalf and in behalf of the people of the city of Little Rock a sinner welcome. In discharging this duty permit me to assure you that the people of Little Rock are not only warm-hearted, but broad-minded. They honor genius whenever they find it, and esteem a man for his virtues and abilities, no matter who he may be. They fully realize that the race is not a matter of belief that the American people, with the assistance of a Divine Providence, are capable of solving it, as they have solved every other great issue with which they have been confronted. A visit was made to all of the colleges and the colored high school. At each place special addresses were made, and flowers and gifts were presented by the different societies of the school. A banquet capped the climax. It was given to the students and the faculty of the institute college and was attended by the people of the city. It was immediately preceded by a special function given by the Frederick Douglass Republican club. The decorations at the club were patriotic in design. Judge M. W. Gibia familiarly expressed the feelings of the people while presiding at the banquet. The committee of arrangements were: Wesley E. Brush, Judges Gibia; G. W. Keats, W. M. Alexander, Bryant Luster, Joseph E. Booker and many others. The foregoing report of the reception of Little Rock is typical of what followed at Pine Bluff on the following day, when Dr. Washington spoke there. Similarly, great crowds of white and black people appeared at the depot to greet him. He was hastily driven to the Branch Normal school, Mr. Isafe Fisher, a Tuskegee graduate president. At this place the party was joined not only by a large number of colored people, but by the following whites: Mr. W. H. Lankford, banker, and president of the board of trustees of the Branch Normal school: Judge A. H. Grace, Chancellor John M. Elliott, and a half dozen other representatives of the branch normal school in that enterprise city. As Washington had spoken to the students of Mr. Fisher's school and the assembled gathering, Judge Grace, who was introduced, said: "The work that Mr. Washington is doing is just as important as that of any other man in this country. I do not care of what race he comes. Judge Grace closed his court for day. Judge Grace closed his visit at Pine Bluff so as to meet him at Mr. Fisher's school and hear him in the afternoon at Wiley Jones park. Chancellor John M. Elliott, who was introduced, spoke as follows: "Mr. Washington, we need just such men as you to show to the colored people of this country and to the white ones as well, the way to work out their destiny. I believe that the colored people are in this country to stay. I believe that here in this country, the great problem of the black races and the white races is to be worked out. You, Washington, have done more than any one else in this country to direct our attention to those methods through which a solution may be held for." When Dr. Washington reached the grounds of the Wiley Jones park and was introduced by Chairman Ferd. Havis, he was greeted by hardly less than 5,000 persons, all of whom listened attentively to all he had to say and roundly applauded his more telling points. He was introduced by Hon. H. King White, the Independent mayor of Pine Bluff, who spoke with deep effectiveness, both as regards Mr. Washington and the work he is doing for his race, and the duty of whites and blacks toward each other. He said that he was "proud to grass the hand of the biggest Negro on earth." A banquet in the splendid three-story brick Masonic Temple, owned by older Masons of Arkansas, was the cultural feature of the visit to Pine Bluff. The local committee here was composed of Prof. Isaac Fisher, Ferdinand Havis and Iris Knight. Dr. Washington was domiciled in the house of Mr. Knight during the stay. The next place visited was Oklahoma City, where the opera house had been engaged by the local committee, consisting of Messrs. H. Harrison, J. H. A. Brasselton, T. H. Trawler and J. D. Randolph. The party breakfasted at the residence of Mr. M. Grooms. The committee he was as interested that they had played a special chef to cook the brunch that and dinner; the morning were mayfly decorated and everything done to make the guest feel truly welcome. He was accompanied in the street car ride through the city by Mr. J. A. Johnson, secretary of the Chamber of Commerce, who had been deputised to offer on behalf of the Chamber of Commerce a welcome to the city. He was welcomed to the city's opera house by both Secretary Johnson and mayor, Attorney William H. Harrison, who charge of all the arrangements introduced Mr. Washington in an effective address. The next place visited was Guthle, Okla., and a special committee was sent from Oklahoma City to accompany him to the former place. When Mr. Washington reached the depot, as the Association requested, your readers, no less than 10,000 persons had checked, him, and followed his carriage for a mile to the home, of Mr. G. E. White, a substantial colored business man of Guthle. At night when he spoke in the opera house he was welcomed by Gov. W. H. Browne, a Territory and introduced by Former Mayor M. Nkins, a colored citizens of great worth. A banquet at the city hall followed the address at the opera house. Next morning great crowds gathered about one of the colored churches where he was to meet the deputy. The committee in charge of arrangement at Guthle consisted of Messrs. G. N. Perkins and G. A. White; Reaching Oklahoma City after two hours' ride, he was again met by the local committee and carried to the residence of Mr. Groom, where dinner was again provided. He spoke in one of the more churches here. Later the party went to South Meridian, where his train pulled out the crowds at the doors were constantly augmented, and at the invitation of a body of white and colored citizens, Dr. Washington consented to say a few words from the rear of his car. Principal Smith of the Emerson School, a white man, who introduced Dr. Washington, spoke of him as "one the greatest of living Americans". While he presented on the rear of the car, the train pulled out to the accompaniment of wild and enthusiastic cheering. At South McMester his carriage was followed from the depot, as the newspapers of South McMester indicate, by three or four thousand people, to the porch where he was welcomed and the entrance to the Eighth Street. S. District Attorney Wilkins and Attorney George Fitzpatrick. After his speech the reception committee, composed of Mosses, W. H. Hudson* H. A. Guess, Robert Fortune and "Mr. Fitzpatrick, now moved him and his party to the beauty salon," said. McMester, who is, perhaps, the only McMester railroad contractor in this country, having built the major portion of the great Rock Island Railroad Mr. McManes and his wife had spread a supper to which many citizens of the town were invited. On the morning after breakfast the car was opened and the Washington party carried through the mines of South McMester. He departed in the afternoon for Muskogee, accompanied by the following reception committee, who had come to meet him: M. Messrs. G. W. Sango, J. W. Waler, A. J. Jones, Edward Jefferson, J. W. Waler, A. J. Jones, H. Waterford. At the depot a tremendous outpouring of people greeted him. The Muskogee papers report that not less than six or eight thousand persons met Dr. Washington. He was rapidly drawn through the city where many evidences of the disease were visible on every side. The Creek Indian children and the school children were lined up along the sidewalks with flags, and as he passed through their lines greeted him with cheering, songs and buzzsals. The welcome was enthusiastic to the utmost degree. The demand on the part of the city had been made to the plan to speak in the auditorium of the city had to be abandoned and a platform erected in the public square. While in Muskogee the was entertained in the homes of Mr. G. W. Sango and Dr. R. H. Waterford, and was tendered a hand by the colored table of Elks at the White House. The table of Elks were forced to here is not in any way connected or related to the former citizen of Paris Eiff, now deceased. Next morning, after a short trip accompanied by several citizens of Muskegan and by the Mr. McDammes of South McMackie already referred to, he reached the principal streets of the city and to the home of Mr. Percy L. Dorman, a Tuskegee graduate, who is in charge of the manual training work in the colored schools. The special committee of preception at this place were W. E. Jackson Peterson L. E. Front, W. E. Jackson Peterson L. E. Front, Here was the fitting climax to the tour. Although it was the middle of the day when he reached the city, great crowds of whites, and blacks were at the station, and followed his carriage through the streets. A dancer was given at the side of the street in the afternoon through the city, and a banquet at night, under the direction of the ladies of Ft. Smith. The whole tour was arranged primarily in response to numerous invitations which have come from local Negro Business Logos in sections where Dr. Washington had never visited before, to visit with African Americans of aspiring worth in that section. At each of these places Tuskegee graduates were active in every line of endeavor. Excursions were run to each of the places visited, three running to Gothic alone. The group was to say that from the day Dr. Washington left St. Louis, through Arkansas, Oklahoma, Indian Territory, he was not only furnished by the railroad companies with special transportation for himself and party, but the special brought out of St. Louis was handed free over to Dr. Washington of the Negro people have such courtesies been visited upon any representative of the race. Dr. Washington's deep earnestness, his convincing clemence, his wise admiation and advice reached hundreds and thousands of persons who have for many and many years been by the hand and hear his voice. It is not too much to expect that out of this visit will grow a larger and more complete civilization for the Negro people. He did not fail in a single address to put forth, with force, the arguments advanced by him, logical and complete progress of his people. The fact that the whites were in nearly every instance one third of his various audiences and composed of the very best brain and culture in the various cities, including wives and children, was the main gratifying feature of the whole tour. It shows that the senseless clamor prosecuted by certain politicians has had no effect so far as the interest and confidence of the host who people of the South is concerned. The attendance of the people what he did will do much to help cement the friendly relations between the races. Not only were the most tender and pathetic evidences given of the respect and love of the superior elements of the race, but the masses showed in every possible way how deeply they, appreciated Dr. Washington's work in industry. It will be a surprise that he does not feel a certain amount of satisfaction because the only given towards helping his people in this section of the country. The colored people of Arkansas and Oklahoma and Indian Territories have splendid opportunity, and are taking advantage of them and making unusual progress. OUR MONOPOLY OF COTTON MAKER Black Hands Rolled On to Pixel and Harvest the King Stage—Anti-migration Laws Show Value of Their Labor—Swift Judgment of Cotton Ramblers—One Who Marked Bales in Greek—Jim Crow" Takes. Regular Correspondence of THE AGE. ATLANTA, November 27.—At the World's Fair in Chicago in 1893, just alongside the midway, an interesting young man was busy telling to the gaping public that the model of the machine he was exhibiting was an exact reproduction of the instrument which would revolutionize labor conditions in the South. It was a model of a cotton picker that was to displace the work of nimble Afro-Americans in the South. According to the exhibitor there could be no possibility of failure to do the work, and it looked as if the black cotton picker, was to be shut out of the game for good. That was about twelve years ago, and yet the Afro-American is doing business at the same old stand—definitely extracting the fleecy staple from the reluctant clutch of the pod. He has done this from time immemorial and, has a right to do it in the future because no machine ever invented or to be invented will ever do the work as well or at all, for that matter. It is a work that great nature has set apart for the hands of the Afro-American. The task has been pre-empted by him and his. He also gives satisfaction to all parties concerned. The work of picking cotton amounts almost to an art, so great is the discretion to be done in doing it as it ought to be done. It is the one work of the farm that the white man has no desire to do. He may plant the seed, chop the grass from between the stalks and plow the rows, but when the plant is full blown and rage for garnering the Afro-American land, it also knows so well how to do the work as he. There is a nice of distinction between bolls that ought to be plucked and those that ought not that is a peculiar qualification of the Afro-American, imagine any machine on earth that could tell just how near it is to the stalk should be rolled and just what stalks should be "topped" or broken off at the top. Not only no machine can do this but very few of the Italians who have been imported to do the work are competent for it. The chief to invent a pocket ticket for the Afro-American labor. It cannot succeed because in the South that labor on the farm is absolutely indispensable. In fact the Afro-American has the situation well left with him as to how long he will hold it. If such a thing as a cotton wool is invented and applied to the work the Afro-American would speedily be done for. It would not be a very hard matter to obtain labor to do the planting, the difficulty has been to get white hands to do the gathering. In order to do this part of the work the laborer, in addition to having the nice sense of discretion before seeding of, must carry a sock on his shoulder and bind down in a half-stiff position all the stems and will tax the endurance of any one who tries it, but the flexibility with which the Afro-American follows the stock is remarkable. Approach of this subject it might be interesting to relate that in the South there is a class of Afro-Americans employed as cotton "sampled" who are artists. What they do not know about the grade and quality is not known to any one else. They are guided to the highest in the twinkling of an eye, and when once they have branded a bale, no human agency can contort their classifications. On account of their superior ability in classifying grades and qualities of cotton, they are able to command fairly good salaries, aggregating labor in a post, an Afro-American or any body else must be born a cotton sampler and not made. So president are some of these men that the great cotton houses send them to Liverpool and places in Germany for the purpose of pressing on the grade of thousands of bales of the cotton sampled. The manufacturer and the seller both admit to it without question. It is related of one of these young fellows, and they are almost all young men, that he brimmed his bates one day in Greck's characters, having learned at the school, and that he the day created constimation in the cotton yard that day. It so happened that nobody in the yard was on speaking terms with anything Greck, and in the absence of the enterprise man, who told the quality of the staple; with the result that on that day no sales were made. It was a great joke for the young Afro-American but it cost him his job because his boss lost a few thousand dollars. Now a young man who speaks, or writes, the mother tongue only has the place. The identification of the Afro American with the flowy staple from planting to sale is complete, and nobody knows this fact better than the Southern white man. Any movement to supplant him in this particular field will prove abortive, so determined is the white man that he will displace the Afro American and his faithfully, the backstating mole, in the matter of cotton making that drastic laws have from time to time, been enacted to prevent it. For instance, in one of the States, it is a chain-gang offense for anybody to advise emigration without first having paid three hundred dollars biweekly tax for each county in which he was passed without disgusting vote because every member voting know that it was meant for the purpose of keeping the Afro-American in the cotton field. Mr. Fred R. Moore, the popular organizer of the Narrational Negro Business League, has been with us. Mr. Moore and his associates have been "Crowdin" in the South and has no doubt observed that even when apartments are not set aside for Afro-American passengers white men will intrude and insist on being with the Afro-Americans. It is reasonable but rather that what they will intrude on the same car with the Afro-American and the chickens that always accompany him in his travels. Notwithstanding the fact that the law expressly provides that the races shall be separate on public carriers, the races shall be separate in the colored compartment. It is just as annoying to the Afro-American passenger as it would be to the white passenger if the thing was reversed, but it goes on just the same. Mr. Moore and associates of the Bureau of Atlanta next year, if they have to come in contact with any "Jim Crow" car, will find that they cannot get away from the obtrusive white man. THOMAS H. MALONE. DISGRACEFUL. DIXON. From Gulliver's Weekly. Mr. Gorman also must be considering the psychology brought out by his attempt to maintain power by turning the worst side of the race problem to the front. His use of it equals in nobility the play of the Reverend Thomas Dixon, now exciting and audiences; and forman, the conscience and reckless schomer, has his reward. NO SUCK THING AS SUPERIOR RACE. One People Now Punish to the Proof and is Crowded Now, to the Rear. From the Literary Digest. That there is no such thing, speaking broadly, as an "inferior race" that is, a race that is and must always remain inferior by reason of natural limitations, is the contention of Prof. N. Colajanul, who holds the chair of statistics in the University of Naples. In n-recently published volume entitled "Latinis and Anglo-Saxon: Superior and Inferior Haces" he sets out to destroy, what he regards as the myth of pretended superior races. That one race may be and often is superior to another at a given period he freely acknowledges; but he points out that their positions may be reversed in the following century, and that without infusion of new blood or other clearly traceable cause. Besides this, national and racial boundaries there are cross each other now cosmos. Says a writer, the book in Cosmos (Paris, October 7.) "Well-known authors have vaulted the superiority of the Anglo-Amhera, and it has even been the fashion among the Latin races to blacken their own characters and to see no good qualities and no future success anywhere but among their neighbors and rivals. But, in the first place, in what does not seem to be a consistent consist? And even if there were originally noble races, dare we assert that at the present moment there exists a nation that has sprung from a single race? Everywhere ethnic characters are mixed and fused; the national sentiment, the idea of fatherland, does not correspond to the measurements of the anthropology and sometimes even contradicts the idea of fatherland, he figure, the color of the skin, hair, and eyes may differ, while the feelings, thoughts and gets remain the same. "It is not, therefore, in ethnic factors but in physical, moral and social constitution that we must look for the causes of a nation's greatness or decadence. The author, among others, has pointed to modern Italy with England, Germany and the United States; but he extends his investigation back to the historic past and shows in a general way that the superiority and infirmity of races are phenomena that relate essentially to the moment when they are observed. Races are superior at one moment, and without them they are taking on an antithetic role and they become inferior at another moment. All peoples and all races, of rather all nations, have contributed their unity to the pertinency of utilization, which is the exclusive possession of some one of them, but may rather be represented as a torch passed from one to the other. The decade before their constitution and inner life it was a moral development before becoming intellectual and economic. "Mr. Collamore thinks that nations in despair are not necessarily damned to irreducible disaster, nor even to perish, because of rising again to prosperity and greatness, even without the infusion of new blood into their veins. Provided that they do not give up hope in them, they will be without sufficient reason to despair of the future." CHURCH FAIR AT ROCHESTER.

GERMAN THE SAVAGE IN SOUTH SPACE Concern Between Humanity of Hottest-tests and Powerlessity of Katherine Seldow—Letters to Cold-Blooded Number of Afrikaanser Culpes—German Defenses Are Amusing All the Native Against All the Whiten. Considering that a long and bloody war of no small magnitude has been raging for nearly two years on our South African border, remarks The London Mail it is remarkable how little public attention it has received in England. Perhaps the term "Hottest-tests" as used for the rebels tends to mislead the public, and to suggest more naked savages like the Maukeble and the Masal, who oppose numbers, blind courage; and primitive warfare against disciplined troops and modern weapons. The rebellion in German Namaqualand in, in fact, frequently been "humped in" with risings in East Africa and elsewhere, giving a wholly false impression. The so-called "Hottentots" who have so long and so bravely resisted the mighs of Germany are akin to the Cape Boys—that is to say, a mixture of all races, but with Hottentot predominating. Many have a large proportion of white blood, and the writer has seen some that would pass at a glance for Italians or Spaniards. Their language is Dutch, they are Christians by religion, and their dress and customs are on the Boer model. Many of them can read and write, and their standard of morality is comparatively high. In fact, life, property, and the honor of women are safer among those people, practically free from control as they are, than in too many well-defined areas in Europe. Though the Heroes and the Bushmen have been guilty of some excesses, the Dutch troops have conducted their war in a number deserving of all praise. A typed instance is that of old British forces, which, though short of provisions himself, ordered the bulk of the property to be restored, mainly saying "How shall those poor people live if we take their food away, a consideration that has given the British military leaders, only on occasions of extreme provocation have the warriors got out of hand, when, like the British troops in the Indian Mutiny and the Japanese in the China war, they were forced to surrender." In strong contrast to the Hottentots methods of warfare have been those of Germany. From the first the Germans seem to have sought to rule by preemptive warfare, a country a tribe that has adopted the title of "Miklanders" rose against them. Germany had practically no other right to the greater part of the country than that of colonists, and the inhabitants naturally wished to see the Slaim made good. The German army, with a long time defeated and driven across the border of Cape Colony, where they surmounted to a handful of Cape police, Captains and captives believed that the latter would be treated as prisoners of war. The Germans, in a back to the Germans, and to be lined up, helpless, disarmed, and submissive, and ruthlessly slaughtered in cold blood. In the present campaign there has been no book of similar harbards. Indeed, followed (unless their stories are frequently backed by white testimony), the German methods of warfare fall but little, if any, short of those of the Spaniards in Cuba and the Philippines, the chief difference being that they are so well trained to contend the grievousness of the Hotentots, and no wealth in the country to invite the assistance of filibusters or to make intervention on the part of other powers seem profitable and dustbubble. A successor is credited with having ordered General von Trotha to "hang all the rebels upon trees." Though the scarcity of trees presents the gallant general from obeying the letter of his monarch's command, he is not yet set to act, and the German authorities attend the German line of march. Nor are these securities limited to native rebels. Last year two Englishmen named Fisher were shot by the Germans on suspicion of having furnished the rebels with weapons and other weapons reported. Of course, all the authoritative information concerning this "little war" has to pass through German lands before it reaches the outside world. Official accounts of provocations unpredictable the enemy with their own correspondence and foreign attacks the scams of contending armies are and to turn reports into defeats, which victories for drawn battles, and draw largely on their imagination for the damage involved on the other side. Some ideas of the war have been published, including the reports of both parties, and though information from Hofstetter's sources does look through the frontier and through our own Gate Boys and Hofstetter's appear to be well posted concerning this war, travel through such in any months that it has probably entered our transit. From the constantly in need vigor and confidence shown by the Hotentor, it would appear that the German successes have by no means been so complete as they appear in print, while the extent of their disasters has been unimproved. Even this expedition, however, does not fully account for the stubborn resistance of the French to a long war when the terms of peace are not too severe. But when surrender means death or otherwise punishment, he will fight to the last like a rat at bay. Marangue, we read, tried to enter into negotiations with the Germans, as a result of which he has determined to send his women and children to British territory and with his hand of carrying ammunition. His success in the war must have been hard indeed to force the Hotentor chief to such a decision. Meanwhile the eyes of colored South Africa are turned in eager anxiety toward the conflict. Many natives are aware that the British, if not the Boers, admit the military having short memories, they forget in the present discontinuity of the white men the almost constant success of British and Boer arms against them in the past. Even where we have failed, as in the Bassstoland fiasco of the Boers we have prevailed, and we versed, so the success of the white man did not suffer. But now the speciality of a few bands of Hottentot defying a vastly superior army is bound to have an unsettling effect upon the native mind. Some millions of our colored followers are afraid, fearful, and suspicious. That dangerous and subversive institution, the Ethiopian Church, doubtless finds therein another means of sowing the seeds of a wholesale native rising against the white races. In fact, the full significance of the war should be realized at home, and the enemy must be taken to obtain accurate information and to force us to prepare for any emergency that may arise. Fortunately, we need not fear that the wider publication of information concerning this war, and especially from the Hottentots' point of view, result in a more comprehensive and hybridized such as that which characterized the German press during the Boer war.

All who are black or who have any known admixture of Negro blood in their ears are put under the ban of an anti-racisming race, hatred and contempt are pushed beyond the pale of social course, and pushed beyond the path of fraternity and equality in the business world, to say nothing of equal and fraternity in State and church.

For alas, Though the mulls of God grind slowly, though with patience he stands waiting, he waits. In anti-bellum times the South knew what this danger was. It knew too well what sort of fear it inspired all over its slavery-crossed land. This burning sense of wrong so surrounded in the volcanic soul of the slaveholder and a forward-buried into flame in that of the deep sense of wrong in the minds of the slaves was the bale of cotton into which a soul in revolt like Denmark Vesey or a War Turner dropped like a spark of fire. The material which oppression furnishes, which is the mind of the oppressed, of a class unjustly treated, is combustible matter which no State can afford to let lie around loose. For it awaits only its leap into flame. And when it does leap into flame, and when it does leap into flame, and when it does what it may not destroy before it is put out. The great fire of Chicago began in a small-enough way, by somebody's cow kicking over a kerosene lamp. The cow made its memorable kick over a kerosene lamp, where then houses and blocks beyond and beyond until Chicago was wrapped in the flames of a confession which devoured nearly $200,000,000 of property. The conditions were ripe for a tremendous overthrow. The slave's kick started the storm of flame rolling over the doomed city. Look out for even a cow when a kerosene lamp is with the rough of its kick. For even its kick may become historic because of the tragic consequences which may follow it. Discontent in the hearts of the people, and generalizing to the whole world of a new world, there is not kessene lamp within each reach of that kick. The kick of such discontent may be harmless enough most of the time. But it may not prove so all of the time. For like the farmer's cow of Chiang, it is not possible to pass the amount having to go in with the affected and fortuitious confluence of very vulgar circumstances. When this moment arrives the kick of any body of people nursing a bitter sense of wrong against their unproposers may be allowed by conumpetence of the most astounding that factor. Nature or Nemesis is always busy preparing material for catastrophies always laying trains for some trendousmends explosion. The folly, the madness of approssors she utilizes as she is in the case of the sense of wrong, the unfairness of the sense of which her charge ready and her train ready also, she looks her man who is to apply the match. Let envoresors at such a minute if they know him when they see him aware of this man. For he carries in mind about the time of his housing heart in life and people, a torch which may be more terrible, more destructive than an army with banners and guns. TRUCODERS FIRST BALL.

Citicago, November 24.—Last Sunday was set aside by the Christian churches of Chicago as a day for contributing money for the relief of the Jewish people in Russia. The spirit of kinship among all races has never been more strongly exhibited than in this generous forgetfulness of race distinction. "One touch of nature makes the whole world kin," and when it was exemplified on this day of voluntary offering in behalf of the hunted and persecuted Jew in far-off Russia, we can but feel a little further on in our journey towards universal brotherhood. There is but one regrettable thing in this recent demonstration toward a larger human fellowship, and that is that the colored churches did not participate in this privilege of giving to those who like ourselves suffer from injustice, persecution and death. Do we wish to be included in these extraordinary deeds of human kindness, or do we, by our indifference of man, wish to be counted as not belonging to this enlarging Christian fellowship? Shall we advertise our poverty and inhumanity to man when worldwide appeals are being made and generously heeded by all but us? It seems to me that we make a great mistake in not seizing upon this opportunity, open to all Christians, to act the part of the good Sanitarian. It is true but we have but little to give, but that life is therefore very large when measured in terms of human kindness and brotherly love. It may not yet be too late for us to share in this high privilege of contributing our mite to a cause so humane as this. A united effort in the cause of suffering Judism would have the effect of bringing us into closer religious fellowness and other Christians. It is an old aphagism that we help ourselves by helping others. The Jewish people, the main, have a kindly and sympathetic feeling towards the colored race. Their views of human brotherhood have always been more generous than Christian orthodoxy. In addition to the humane impulse to help the needy and distressed, we have everything to each other showing a willingness to share some of the burdens of people and as being personified because of accident. But let not forget that the Afro-Americans were only people who refused to heed the cry of the personified. The contribution of a good book to our literature might be regarded as an important event. This is sufficient reason for calling attention to a book recently published in England, entitled "Poemers and Reactions". The author, Dr. Hobbs, and a English scientist, Commenting series pronounce the book to the most�erely known book of the year. Although the book relates to England and the present condition in England, our own situations American problems easily come within the range of its treatment, and are helpful to students of the larger and more difficult in which the struggles of the Negro race are included, at least by implication. This book is also helpful in giving us a larger and sinner view of the problems that impede the progress of our race. Too many of us make the mistake of relying on the ideas of the larger social and political movements that are bringing all the races of men within touch of a more inclusive interest and influence. Through the enterprise of a young colored man who is a student of medicine, we have been able to realize the book of people. It contains about 150 pages of interesting and valuable information concerning the life of the colored people in Chicago and their social and business activities. The book tells a long felt want, and it is a matter of surprise and of congratulation to those who have read it, and many people engaged in business of various kinds all more or less important. Mr. S. Laije Williams has just returned from Pine Bluff, Ark. to which point he be accompanied Dr. Washington and study in Arkansas, Oklahoma and the Indian Territory. The party consisted of Dr. Washington, his two secretaries, Mr. Emmett J. Scott and Mr. Cow, Dr. Kirk, Dr. Washington, Hon. J. E. Bush and Mr. Keats of Little Rock, Ark. and a representative of the St. Louis press. Mr. Williams reports that the Taskforce received a great omen in Pine Bluff and Little Rock. Three addresses were made in Little Rock, including one to the colored and white citizens in the Grand opera house, another to the African-American third at a hamlet in the assembly room of the Arkansas Baptist college. In Pine Bluff he spoke to the students and prominent white citizens at the State Normal and Industrial school, to the students of the Catholic school, to the students of the Wiley Jones high and co-educational people at the Wiley Jones fair ground and at a banquet given in his honor at the new Masonic Temple in the evening. I am informed that the addresses of Dr. Washington made a profound impression on all who attended the banquet and was shown him it was possible to show to a distinguished visitor. The colored people of Chicago are making a strentuous effort to raise an endowment for the "Old Folks" Home. The responsibility for this effort, is assumed by what is known as The Triangle club, composed of a dozen young men. The group is to realize large sums of this Thanksgiving denervation. FANNIE BARRIER WILLIAMS. HUMAN BROTHERHOOD. From The Southwestern Christian Adjacency. Anyone who is at all convenient with current events cannot but be impressed with the growth of the world wide sympathies of, humanity. On one day, the world's attention is centered around Japan and Russia; another day on Morocco and at another time on Venezuela; another day on the Sandhianian peninsula, and then at another time on the islands of the Pacific. Cuba is now broadening in its relations and reaching its youthful air across the world; at another time there is no better text book in existence on human brotherhood than the daily press. There are stirring times in the press, and there is better known, the form of governments of the various nations are more studied, at the presidential meetings of international relation, and the rise and fall of governments find a place in general conversation. What is the greatest concern of the Great Head of the Church—God our Father and man our brother. Truly no man Heath to himself can be so good as representative citizen of any civilized country must have at least a reasonable amount of charity for the efforts for good government everywhere. What is this great burden of human arrogance but a faintable brotherhood? What means this interest in Japan and this intense interest in the brutality of the Congo and the Niger? What is all but an evidence of human brotherhood? PHILADELPHIA. November 30.—The election of the Hotel Brotherhood resulted as follows: President, James A. Snowden; 11st vice-president, William L.

Congress of Nations Entertainment a Howling Success—Talent in Central High School — Exciting Football Game Results 0 to 0—Church Bazaar Raises $200. LOUISVILLE, Ky., November 21. The country fair and congress of nations given at the Episcopal church of Our Merciful Saviour the last three nights of last week was a howling success. It gave the public an excellent opportunity to witness for the first time the talent that is in the central high school. It further gave evidence of the inspiration afforded by those who are teachers at the high school. Through Professors Annis, Harris and Johnson central is toing the mark of a high standard in public and on the gridiron. Rev. Leroy Ferguson, who for several weeks has been the pastor of the church, gave a great deal of time and service towards the success of the brilliant affair. A large portion of the credit is due Prof. W. P. Annis, who had the complete arrangements in charge. He was given yoyoman assistance by different ladies of the church. The program each night was rendered in the lower auditorium of the church. In every book and corner was stationed a beautifully decorated booth with all kinds of articles to be sold. Stationed in these booths were young disciples representing all the nations of the city while in the dining hall were served English and French suppers with joes. The first night the boys of the high school tendered a sketch that was a whirlwind of fun. It was a rehearsal of a Friday afternoon program at school, the second night was devoted strictly to the performance, organized by the lamented Miss Eliza Port, was the chief attraction. This organization is one of the lost of its kind in the State and usually renders high class operatic selections. Under the personal direction of Miss Lottie Bryant she says several pretty choruses that chide children in Harlem. In Harlem sang a bass solo that was given of an aplause. Friday night drew out a larger crowd which heard one of the host literary programs witnessed in Louisville in years. All in all the affair was fine and the public as well as the church was filled. Mozsers, Ebbis and Martone won second prize and Young Adams first. Rev. W. S. Taylor, chief of the True Reformers of America was in our city last week and made two speeches. He drew our good crowds at Quinquah church, where he met the Rev. John church. It is well known that the Rev. John is no word painter or shouter, but he lecturer and speaker on the race question he delivers splendid ideas for the betterment of his people. Rev. Taylor arouls in humor and witfulness and makes good progress in the work of his representative of True Age Rev. Taylor, his recent trip to the Holy Lands and also the progress of the True Reformers and their bank. The organization is $500 strong and does over a million dollars of business annually. The reformers of Oliver, are very strong in this city and are continually growing. A literary association will be in full bloom in this city, soon, and distinguished visioners and speakers of prominence will form, in old, Kentucky, Mississippi.

The tobacco factory at 19th and Rowan streets burned at a late hour last week and the damage was so great that over two hundred and fifty Afro-Americans were thrown out of work; a large number of them having families. Amid yells, fog horns and coloring the Northville Tigers played a tiger game of football last Saturday with the central Lions. The game was started with coach Bill McCarthy, who showed excellent training throughout the day, Prof. O. S. Johnson, manager of the Central team, got the boys down to hard practice in the last few days and they made a splendid showing. The entire studio only was in the field wild with the Lions, but the boys weighed the heaviest and had played better whereas the home boys were at their first game of the season. The contest was a hot one. Jackson and Ebbes of the Central starred and Voombles of the Pearl did good work. Over 1,000 were in attendance. Roy. Ferguson states that the Episcopal church cleared $200 last week. He is very grateful to Mr. and Mrs. Clement G. Morgan of Boston, Mr. Charles Chestnut of Cleveland, Prof. Kelly Miller of Miss.

Five Infants Christened and $200 Refunded Fund Christened and $200 Raised at Rally. ENGLERWOOD, N. J., November 21—The Sunday school of the Bethany Presbyterian chapel was largely attended last Sabathb. Several new scholars were added to the school. Rev. W. R. Lawton acted as superintendent and quizzed the school on the important points in the lesson. The school then, under the direction of Miss C. Chapin, practiced several beautiful carols for its Christmas entertainments. Mr. J. Moshy has been put in charge of a large class of boys and Miss Malinda Staples of girls. The school is growing and doing excellent work. The Y-P; S. C. E. of the chapel was also well attended last Sunday night. The choir, which consists of young Misses, was out in full force and led the gospel songs, which were song with fervor. Miss one of their number, presided at the organ. The singing was led by Miss Prescivia Roone, assisted by the president, Mr. Joseph Moshy. The evening services at the Shiloh A. M. E. Zion, church were well attended. who attraction was the christening of five children, all of the First Baptist church resulted. Mrs. Elizabeth Francis who has been confined to her bed for two weeks, is still seriously ill. Mr. Charles Jackson is also confined to his room. Mrs. A.

Published by FORTUNE & PATRISON at & Codar Street, in the Borough of Manhattap, New York. Instructive Versatility of the Jews. This week the Jews are celebrating all over the country the 250th anniversary of their landing in this country. The invaluable assistance which they have rendered the United States as financiers, soldiers, scientists and good citizens generally is being recalled, with gratitude and admiration by the Christian press, and with parlonable complacency by the Jews themselves. Besides the obvious lessons which the success of the Jews affords us, namely, the effectiveness of race pride and of their devotion one to another, though separated by broadly seas and cotinents, there is another which the Afro-American people should take to heart. That is, that the highest artistic life and the most thorough development of the commercial and industrial spirit have plenty of room to exist side by side in one race. The fallacy is now being industriously propagated among us that there is a deadly hostility between what is called industrialism and what is described as higher education. We are told that one of these activities can flourish only at the expense of the other; that the full development of one means the annihilation of the other. The perfect compatibility of the two is unanswerably established when we can name in the same breath the Jews Rothschild and Heine, Schiff and Spinoza, Soligman and Rubenstein. Superstitions. Many of the Afro-American people—and whites too, for that matter—are still in the clutch of various superstitions. The malevolence of the black cat's glare is shunned by some; the protective efficacy of the rabbit's foot is relied on by others; and many still invoke the assistance or bribe the hostility of the conjure doctor. These follies are supposed to be confined to the vulgar. We were surprised, then, as well as amused, to find *The Christian Recorder* of last week solemnly printing from a correspondent what he declared to be a spell of powerful trouble for the enemies of the race. This conjuration has the somewhat impressive title of "The Alpha and Omega Hamite Prayer," and consists of metrical lines successively beginning with the letters of the alphabet. Its author, curiously confounding causes and concomitants, declares that the singing of the prayer caused the Baltimore fire and the defeat of the Poe Amendment. Perhaps we should not be too scornful in view of the prevalent prejudice against the number 12 and the day Friday. Perhaps we are not altogether guiltless ourselves. We confess to a feeling, which we cannot rationally justify, that we must have turkey and cranberry sauce on Thanksgiving day, although beef and mushrooms are just as good, if not better. Ethiopianism Spreading Pan-Africanism has received a clandestine but mighty impetus through the sturdy and often victorious resistance which the Hereros have opposed to the German army in South Africa, and the white races which are oppressing and exploiting that country are growing more and more restless and suspicious as the weeks drag by, leaving Withiol and his gallant followers still unconquered. As the natives know, the English in South Africa, own that in a military sense they are no match for the Germans. If the idea should spread—the English fear it is spreading like wild fire already—among the natives that they, having beaten the superiors of the English, could beat them also, there would be some mighty dangerous hours for the fringe of white men along the Cape. We should in such an event shed few tears. Men who break for purposes of plunder into the countries of other men have as little claim to our assistance and sympathy as have burglars, who break into other men's houses. Leadership of Senator Bailey. In order to indicate the unbroken continuity of their monarchies, the French people used in one breath to announce the death of one ruler and salute the accession of the next. With a parallel meaning one might explain concerning the Democratic leadership of the Senate: "German is dead; Long live Joe Bailey." These two men, the falling leader and his probable successor, are, despite many unlikenesses, flesh of one flesh and bone of one bone. Gorman returns from the Maryland election with but a few fluttering rags and shreds of that prestige with which he was once appurred in the Senate. A leader unfortunate enough in a State campaign to have split his own party, aligned solidly against it so influential a body as are the foreign born voters of Maryland, and solidly united his opponents, its obviously not the leader to manage the campaign of a National party. Gorman is the inevitable even though deferred end of a man who prefers to use unprincipled cunning and ragefully tricks to accomplish his designs. He proudly planned to crown his life-work with the disfranchisement of the Afro-Americans of his State, and offered, if the citizens would permit him to soiling this, his dearest wish, to retire in favor of his son. For a short space the aged rogue will continue to disgrace the State. Whereas German owes his fall to an unsuccessful attack upon the liberties of an unfortunate people; Bailey owes his rise to a similar attack which was however, successful. After serving a congenial apprenticeship as a tapeter in a Mississippi tavern, Bailey celebrated the arrival of his majority by sallying boldly forth disguised as a ghost in long skirts, frightful mask and witch's steepe hat, for the purpose of terrorizing the superstitious and harmless black people of Copiah County, Mississippi. Since the United States Commission dragged into the light Bailey's illustrious exploits in the Ku-Klux Klan, his admiring Southern fellow-citizens have delighted to shower on him all the honors in their lieutenant. Between Kalley and Gorman the devil would have only Holson's choice. It is to one of these men, probably, the former, that the Administration will have to go for votes to carry its unpopular measures. Truly, the restless waters of democracy toss some unpleasant things to the surface! Panama Canal Zone Projudice Panama Canal Zone Prejudice. Among the three score and top preliminaries which must be arranged, we have been from time to time apologetically assured; before the dirt can be made to fly on the Panama canal, was one which impressed everyone as sensible. This was the injection of some recreation into the lives of the laborers in that God foraken region. So, the good people, of whom a few still survive; were edified by the news that a cargo of Bibles had been dispatched to the canal zone; the bad and indifferent of us were more or less pleased to hear that a shipment of playing cards and poker chips was bound for the same destination; and most of us were shocked to learn that an enterprising skipper, imitating the captains who brought to these shores the mothers of our Virginia aristocracy, had adventured to Panama with a shipload of abandoned women. Theatres; baths and club houses are to be done as much as possible is to be done to make the men satisfied with their hard lot. All work and no play, thinks Mr. Shonts, makes Jack a moody, discontented fellow and a bad workman. From a dispatch in last Sunday's New York World, however, it appears that it is only white laborers for whom these comforts and solacments are being prepared. The black men, it appears, the real backbone of the laboring force, are not only not having the luxuries purveyed to them, but are allowed to become ill through neglect and lack of necessities; and are not only in lack of the necessities of life, but are reduced to virtual slavery. If this report is true—that it is the treatment of darker races everywhere by white Americans makes us suspect—the discrimination is disgraceful to this country and to the flag which floats over the Canal Zone. The Turk and Other Winners The Christian powers, with an inconsistency which invites the jeers of heathens and infidels, are making a naval demonstration against Turkey in order to compel the Sultan to relax his throttlehold on Macedonia. The Sultan will, of course, have to yield—if he has not done so already—and we are glad of it; but there is reason to believe that some of his antagonists need coercion as much as he does. Russia, of course, by her unspeakable massacres of the Jews, has proved herself as harbous and hateful as Turkey itself. Yet, no nation has yet interfered in behalf of Odessa's butchered thousands. If Russia were as weak as the Sublime Porte, and if, perhaps, she were a non-Christian people, the pity and horror of other great nations might not still soundly slumber. England, too, has her oppression of the natives of South Africa to answer for, and France has not been innocent in North Africa. In fact, if United States ships had joined the concerted feet at Mythene, the Alliance of Hypocrites would have been complete. We have our subject races in the Philippines, Hawaii and Porto Rica; yet, at our own doors, in the Southern States, we are allowing the depression of a large and valuable portion of our citizenry into the condition of subjects. The Turk, for all his crimes, is not the only sinner on the globe. --- Last Monday Justice Amend granted the appeal of Mr. Heirsta's lawyers by issuing a mandamus directing the inspectors of five election districts in Manhattan to reconvene, open the ballot boxes and make a recount of the vote. Mr. Heirsta, with all his faiths, is doing a public service. The ruler of a democracy, the people, is a slugish king, and is continually taken advantage of except when men like Jerome or Heirsta make a racket under his nose and compel him to wake up. Bull, brunch and numerous, the game of football is now for the first time incurring the whole-scale depenation which it has always deserved. We hope it will be shalthed. Athletes have far too much prominence in our schools. It is well enough to keep the body healthy - a few minutes' each day will suffice for this - but why any one of sanity should aspire to be an athlete, when we imagine. Only a fool can be proud of ballet training in the disciplined and vigorous brain that the noble man delicults. Only a short span of pores is vanished to us live, and there are so many precious things of learn that we have little to waste, even in our childhood, in silly and unprofitable pursuits. A Frenchman has made a marry which, he believes, shows up the graft and corruption of the United States. Strange to say, he finds five States which are in his opinion pure. There is enough corruption in the country to dissuade us from taking issue with the optimism of the French statistist. But it is hard for us to control our surprise in the graft of North Carolina and Mississippi in the graft of the "pure" States. In these States flourishes the rank sort of corruption, the perpetuation Democratic political machines by means of the disfranchisement of a majority of the men of voting age. If these States are "pure," defend us from those which are corrupt! From time to time in the past a great deal of matter has been furnished to the public, with the praiseworthy purpose of portraying the individual struggles and sacrifices, of colored youths to secure an education. These efforts of struggling young men and women, with no inspiration in family tradition and fortune, and with little or no money with which to secure the knowledge they crave, is one of the most encouraging as well as pathetic features I have come across in my educational-work during the past twenty years. As a hopeful indication of race character, and I may safely so describe it, it must be of peculiar interest to the average American interested in the Negro people. On the other hand, much matter has also been furnished the public concerning the aid given the Negro race by philanthropic white people; attention is also frequently directed to the volume of money expended for the education of the Negro by State and municipal governments, the proceeds of land grant funds and of common taxation. I do not think that the public has been sufficiently informed of what the Negro himself has been doing during the past forty years, and is doing now, toward his own education through the religious organizations controlled by him. Before dwelling upon this principal point, however, I wish to direct attention here to several minor ways of more or less importance in which the Negro is constantly displaying the quality of self-help—the most important and significant force in the unplift of any person or once, the absence of which must always be regarded as a fatal defect of character. First, then, it is well to say that there are very few orphan asylums anywhere for Negro children. Possibly in nine or ten cases Negro families care for the orphans of their race in the neighborhoods where they reside. A child is not left many hours without parents, before it strays into some family, or more often, is sought out by some friend, and, without legal formality, soon becomes a real part of the family. Because of this custom one finds very little suffering among Negro children. In the Southern States the masses know little about hospitals. The sick and unfortunate are cared for by secret and fraternal societies, by the churches or by individuals. A second form of self-help, which is increasing year by year, is the voluntary taxation of the public school's purpose of extending the public school's facilities from one to three months; that is, these months are added to the regular public school term. In the same other forms of self-help that are equally significant and praise-worthy. But to return to the main point, Of the more than eight millions of colored people in the United States, it is esti- mated that the worries of the adults are members of them, and the great body of them are either members of Baptist church, or of some branch of the Methodist church. The Methodists are divided into four groups or branches, namely the African Methodist Episcopal Church, the A.M. Church, the Colored Methodist, and those belonging to the main body of the Northern Methodist Church. Besides, in all the Southern States, and in some States outside of the South, there are Presbyterian, Congregational and Episcopal churches, and a few other churches, including Catholics—not under the Methodist Church groups, all contributing something toward the expenses of the schools and colleges. The plan for securing money from the colored people through their churches varies according to the location and condition of the people, as well as the customs and laws of the country, in example, in the case of the Baptists there is at least one institution, usually called college or university, in each Southern State, supported in part or in whole by the students and dollars of the masses. In Alabama the institution, there is what is known as the Alabama Baptist; Colored University, at Selma. Last year the colored people in Alabama contributed to the work of this institution by exclusive of student board and tuition. The colored people; their money created it, with the exception of a few gifts from outside sources. There is at least one such school in each of the Southern states called circumstances surrounding them in any, but the general plan is the same. In the case of the African Methodist Episcopal church, there are institutions that owe their existence almost wholly to the small gifts of the churches and include the denomination. Last year $51,601.80 was raised by the denomination for the education of the population. The oldest and largest of these institutions is the Wilberforce University, at Wilberforce, O. Although this institution is now somewhat generously subsidized by the State of Ohio, it was for years supported almost wholly by the colored people. Let me use another illustration as showing what the African Methodist Episcopal Church is doing in the South. The school in Atlanta, Ga., called Morris-Brissard School, was organized only a few years ago. It has a very valuable property and has a large student body. The college was built and is supported by a large extent, by money provided by the church membership. For 1905, the institution received from all sources for funding $5,58,58 of which the churches in that country in the State of Georgia contributed $2,200, the third Sunday in September being set apart for the taking of offerings for educational work; and $80,50 was used for the industrial department. The remainder was distributed through other channels of the church, and mostly all of it by Negro people. The African Methodist Episcopal Zion church has ten institutions of learning, of which Livingston College, at Salisbury, is the corresponding secretary important. The correspondent secretary reports that the Zion church reports that the monies collected last year amounted to $20,705.51, which went to all the schools of the church to supplement their other revenues for running the church. Through the Freedman's, Aid and Southern Education society of the Methodist Episcopal church the colored membership contributed for education for the ten years 1800-1905, inclusive, $19,228.13 was contributed. The Negro Baptists support quite a number of educational institutions, and to carry on the work the churches raised, the Zion church contributed $19,228.13 was contributed. To sum up, we find that the A. M. E. church contributed $1,001.86 for educational purposes last year: the A. M. E. Zion church; $20,700.64; the Colored Methodist Episcopal church; $15,000; the Methodist Episcopal Zion church; $5,888.18; making the total $218,622.08, for only two branches of the Christian church. If the contributions of the Negro Congregationalists, Presbyterians and Methodians, etc., be approximated, we should have probably an obligation for educational purposes by the Negro Christians of $250,000. Within the past ten years, it is safe to say, according to these figures, that the Negro in America has contributed at least $20,000,000 through his churches to this. I think, all fair-minded people will be pretty good record for a race of people which was in slavery forty years ago. And these figures, of course, do not include the amounts which colored people are contributing constantly to local and national institutions, the Tuskegee Institute, for example, receiving from colored people annually, and the same is true of other institutions which have no direct church connection. EAST ORANGE' JIM CROW' SCHOOLS. Dedicated by Dr. Ward, Mr. Fortune and The Newark Keeping News. The action of the school board of East Orange, N. J., in separating the Afro-American children from the white children of the town is incurring the denunciation which it deserves. Not only are the Afro-Americans up, in arms against this attempt to introduce "Jim Crow" methods within thirty miles of New York city, but the best and most influential white men of the State are backing the Afro-Americans. Dr. William Hayes Ward, for instance, the editor of "The Independent, writes the following indignant letter to The Newark Evening News: I write this on Sunday. I do not know a more religious thing I can do today than to express my indignation at the action of the East Orange Board of Education, as reported in your columns of yesterday, in separating the colored children from the white children in the schools of the town. Some years ago I sat at a church sociable in Newark with three old colored men, all of whom once held as slaves in this State. They were the cruelty of slavery as they had known them. Newark and its vicinity, and where the shipping-post, was in Orange, where were punished. But I thought the legend of a servile class was a thing of the past. "I am amazed that a Board of Education in a State which teaches equal rights should for a moment think of all-born-citizen segregation of our America—anborn citizen citizenship, color and I wish to express my conviction that a superintendent of public schools who can devise such a separation and urge an adoption is not fit to hold any elective office in a county and, further, that parents have no right to children to schools in which they are thus degraded and insulted. It is better that they should seek private instruction to own expense than that they should own the school they taught anything less than equality and fairness. The Negro school is the legitimate successor to the Negro whipping-post, believe it is more the duty of the minister to teach this unchained Orange preach against this unchained action than it is to join in revival services because decent morals underlie religion. It is not worth while to convert a man unless he can be converted to righteousness, which thanks the arrogance which thanks God that he deserves other men. I think not only of these colored children, but of our white children, whom I would not have taught, so cleverly and religiously, a doctrine of devil." Newark, November 19, 1905. the following strong editorial: "Thoughts of people. New Jersey will agree with the institutions in a communication to this newspaper from Dr. William Hayes Ward, editor on The New York Independent, printed on the action that the action of the East Orange band is arranging the colored children from the white children in the schools there, is a piece of contemptible white arrogance: 'It is against the spirit of Christianity and Constitution.' The indignation of the New York action of East Orange is both natural and commendable under the circumstances, for the enforced segregation of dark-colored children, in fact, setting up in East Orange a legalized caste based on the color line. "There are those who contend with great force that where Negroes attend progress and devote themselves to finer man and woman. But that they are East Orange situation. In that city the object of the board of education, in following the recommendation of the city superintendent of schools, is to prevent the colored pupils from attending the school. The decision was not reached a spirit of benevolence toward the Negro race, but rather in a spirit of antagonism. Had it been decided to provide children where Negroes could send their children, it would have to keep them separate from the whites; it would have been a different matter." Our Mr. Fortune has written the follow- letter to *The News*, in which he attests to my ability to separate schools. "Please accept my permission to your publication, in *The News* of yesterday, of the strong article by Dr. William Hose Ward, and your editorial indemnity against the position, on the movement to the Crown Creek, to children in the public schools of East Orange. It is to be regretted that such movement was ever inaugurated. I will fail of accomplishment. I believe it will be the objection of so good and strong a user as Dr. Ward and so strong and fearless a newspaper as *The Evening News* school, as I think it will be by the good and thoughtful people of East Orange. "Even if the principle of separate schools were not periphrasms, tending to separate those whom the State has bound to maintain in the same taxes in common to maintain an exam in common to the common good, separate schools, like separate cars and the like, embitter one pair of the people against another, leading to motions of the superiority of one sort of the citizens of one nation to motions of the law, and in the enjoyment of the benefits of equal taxation. Homogeneity of citizenship under the law is of the first importance, and to the appreciation of it, it is necessary to recognize the citizenship of the vast army of foreigners who have come to the country, in the past half century—a most helpful addition to our citizenship, against whom no one can stand up bravely. The laws and in the benefits of general taxation. This is as it should be; it is the saving principle of our system of government that all of the citizens are subject to the same taxation, which does not obtain in some States. Union in no wise militates against it, but rather makes it more obligatory uponed and thoughtful people like those of the range to stand up bravely for the principle and upon any movement to impair it. Again I thank *The News* for its position in question, and am sure that my work will benefit who believe in the open door of opportunity, and a *square deal* for all. THOMAS FORTUNE. "Magic Hall, Red Bank, N. J., November 21, 1906." SAYINGS OF CARNISSON Institution of the Bold and Noble Toupper of the Abdikhanov. I have never allowed a single copy of The Liberator/ to go forth to the world without feeling that it would do something to redeem that world from sin and error. The truth that we utter is impalpable, yet real; it cannot be thrust down by brute, fore, and pierced with nor bribed with gold, nor overcome by the application of a coat of tar and feathers. My reliance for the deliverance of the oppressed universally is upon the nature of many the innocent houghfulness of oppression, the power of the kind and the nipportunity of God using every rightful instrumentality to hasten the jubilee. Are we enough to make a revolution? No, but we are enough to begin one, and, once been, we never can be turned back. I am not a solution of uttering one I am there because I must be there. I must cleave to the right. I cannot choose but obey the voice of God. What is the proposition to be discussed? It is this: whether all men are created free and equal, and have an inalienable right to a liberty. I am dured to arrive this with a people who declare it to be a self-evident truth. Why, such folly belongs to Bedlam. I never debate the question as to whether man may hold property in man. I never degrade myself by debating the man. I never deny sin. It is a self-evident truth, which tells him graven on our very nature. Where I see he holder of a slave, I charge the sin upon him and I denounce him. Another than see men wearing their chains in a cowardly and servile spirit, I would, as an advocate of peace, much rather see them breaking the head of the trunk with their chalus. Give me, as a man, the courage to kill (ill) Bill Clinton, and Concord, rather than the cowardice and servility of a Southern slave-plantation. Whenever there is a contest between the oppressed and the oppressor—the weapons being equal between the parties—God knows that my heart must be with the oppressed, and always against the oppressed, whenever commenced. I cannot but wish success to all slave insurrections. I hate slavery as I hate nothing else in this world. It is not only a crime, but the sum of all criminality; not only a sin, but the sin of sins against Almighty God. I cannot be at peace with any kind of any circumstance. That I have been permitted to witness its overthrow calls for expressions of devout thanksgiving to Heaven. The one distinct and emphatic lesson which I shall teach my children is, to take nothing upon mere authority—to dare to differ in opinion from their father, and from all the world—to understand, as clearly as possible, what can be doering or practice, and then to accept or reject it according to their own convictions of duty. I am accused of using hard language. I admit the charge. I have not been able to find a soft word to describe villainy, or to identify the perpetrator of it. It is my lot to be branched throughout this country as an agitator, a fanatic, an incendiary, and a madman. There is a god, and he deserves to thank that, has never been able to I have never been alienated as a slaveholder, or as an apologist of slavery. Is it republicanism to say that the majority can do no wrong? Then I am not a republican. Is it aristocracy to say that people sometimes shamefully abuse their high trust? Then I am an aristocrat. With reasonable men, I will reason: with human men, I will plead; but to yamshe I will give no quarter, no wastements where they will certainly be lost. As to our moral obligation, it belongs to our moral responsibility, not our compulsory, of which neither time nor distance, neither climate nor location, neither republican nor nonmetrical government, can divest us. Let there be but him stand on the face of the globe—him stand on the strength of the earth—and peace me on the other—every good, and tribe, and clime, and nation stand as barriers between him and my people, as am bound to sympathize with him, to be bound to him for his deliverance—to make known his wrongs, and vindicate his rights. With no pride of heart, however, but much confidence of right action, with much virtuous acumen, and with real courage, he was able to fight, and challenge mankind to produce an action in which the cause of moral reform, surrounded by equal difficulties and dangers, has advanced more rapidly than the prosecution of the war. I had indeed to blow "jarring blunt" but it was necessary to wake up a nation then slumbering in the lap of moral death. Thanks to he God, that blast was the first he could hear the deaf, it startled the lethargic corps their initial sleep, and it shook the land as a leaf is shaken by the wind. Greater success than I have had, no man could resist it or humble, expect. Great success no man can imagine, adventure, without endangering his reliance upon an almighty arm. GARRISON, DAY IN PROVIDENCE. A Fine Celebration Promoted—Kind Words for "The Age" To the Editor of THE NEW YORK AGE: The Afro-Americans of Providence, R. L., are making strentuous efforts to comply with the timely suggestion of Dr. Booker T. Washington, of celebrating the one hundred anniversary of the birth of William Lloyd Garrison, the greatest anti-slavery advocate that ever lived in this country, not excepting Wendell Philips, Nat Turner, Lerencia Mott and a host of others. Also all honor to T. Thomas Fortune for having published the suggestion through the greatest Afro-American paper, THE NEW YORK AGE, the New England Suffragette League to the contrary notwithstanding. Messrs. R. E. Johnson, R. L. Bailly, Lawyer W.A. Heathman, S. J. West and others are the prime movers in the effort to move the institution here to grand success. Re. M. McCarthy, A. M. E. Zion church on Winter street has kindly consented to allow the committee to have the celebration in his church Monday evening, December 11, when a program will be held in the mission. Prominent gentlemen in city and State, white as well as colored, will be asked to participate and have seats on the plaza. Norah all of our pastors in this city will set apart some portion of Sunday, December 10, for a few remarks on the life and character of the great Librarian. Our loyal ladies, Mrs. Jas. E. Johnson, Mrs. F. E. Burress and Mrs. F. E. M. Riddlle have to help make the celebration a success, and have signified their intention of doing no. J. E. J. Providence, R. L., November 27, 1905. NOTE AND COMMENT. Mr. E. C. Brown, the real estate agent of Newport News, Va., who attracted much attention during the sessions of the Bank of Newport League, has incorporated his business at a capitalization of $50,000. Ten years ago he started business with less than $100; now he has a rental list of over 100 rooms, 700 tenants and 125 clients. Last year his profits were over $8,000. He does a large mail order business and owns real estate in all parts of the country. Afro-Americans certainly know how to pass examinations. Andrew Levan Pacy, for instance, ranked first among thirty-two candidates for doctoral degrees in the State examination records in the peaks. He made the first 100 percent grade ever made in bacteriology before Kansas board of medical examiners to say, Dr. Pacy's sister, who took the same examination some time ago ranked first in her class. The Herald last Sunday printed the manic story of a little white girl, Bing, who has been raised by an American, Mr. Cornell Brown, and his wife, of this city. The child was raised by her mother upon Birm. Brown and his wife, and they have nobly disclined to doubt Thomas Dickson will be distressed of future of this young girl in the hands of people whom he brutes, but people who are same cannot doubt that she will grow into an easy young lady. The newspapers have printed with chuckles of satisfaction the contest of Louis A. Graves, an Afro-American fighter, who chalks to be a Yale graduate and exclaims his fall to the baneful influence of his college education, which, because he colored men as polio be to but we have no reason to doubt thatlege graduates who are all the best of their training. The fact is that neither college education nor any other kind of education can make a good man out of a degenerate and reversion of type such as Graves seems to be. Thomas Dixon, Jr., author of "The Times man," "The Leopard's Spots," and other novels, says The New York Times, received a letter from Birmingham, Ala., recently telling him that an organization known as the Sons of the Clansman had been formed in that city. His informant was John H. Sackett, a Cantonville, Ala., The Sons of the Clansman in Birmingham, nature to the old Ku-Kluuz Klan, which played such an active part in the incidents of the reconstruction period. In response to Mr. Wallace's letter, Dixon write: "My Dear Mr. Wallace; I fear the organization of the 'Sons of Cinnamon' is in the course of time become a success in America. In Chicago recently a record number of white women, Fifty four married white women, Fifty four present. The remondant power now holds by the commercial scalawag press of the culturally favor with supposed Northern sentiment, must yet be met and strangled by the use of to be unreserved white. Four distinguished preachers in Georgia are now declaring of the race problem in the South. I wish I were as sure of the South two years ago honors as you seem to be. Bishop James C. McCormick form the 'Arvian League of America' to protect our civilization from the corruption Indies sent to me a similar request to organize 'The White Heart League' to organize as well as the United States. It is how these suggestions are in the air."

With thanks I wish to acknowledge the kindness, the sympathy and floral tribute of our many friends at the time of our beloved wife. Jonas B. Snyder, 327 West 52nd Street. Dilhams and justice in appreciation in an adversary as well as in a friend, and it is inspiring how some of our race papers take so much pleasure in speaking disparagely of some of our leaders. This is particularly the tone of some of them in their allusions to Dr. Boecker (F. Washington). We noticed from a few referencers to him in one of our conversations his address before the National Bank, and there is a disposition to withhold the truth about the audience which heard him; the warmth of his reception and the effect of his spiced address. It is a fact, which every year we have heard from him that every seat in the great building fee was charged and many stood during his address. It is also true that he was given a great enthusiastic response and from the time he entered the building fee from the time he received the building fee from the time he received a perfect ovation at the hands of the great audience which stood and gave unbounded evidence of appreciation and endorsement. It was repeated so often as introduced and was some minutes before the reception, so great was the applause. This statement is made as much for the benefit of the convention whose guest he was as it is for Dr. Washington, as that great body of people who were guilty of want of appreciation for such a distingished representative of the race. OUR COLLEGE MEN. From The Newark Dispatch There are said to be about fifty colored young men in America's leading institutions of learning, Harvard and Yale. Every graduating class in the past few years has had, in its membership one or more colored men who have distinguished themselves in the field of athletics. Bruce, Williams Plekeng, Frank Greercy and our own boy, Leslie Hill, are examples. In the fields of athletics, too, our boys make records. The world is reluctant to stop referring to our now distinguished assistant football coach, as "Football Lewis" because of the fact his record has never been surpassed as "center rush." "Matthews saved the day for Harvard" has been the glaring headline in the great New York and Boston dailies. In the baseball season. Our men are distracting themselves in character in those great universities also. No case of rude conduct has been reported so far. President Ellot on Harvard paid a tribute to Matthew, may that ever attended Harvard, strong of body, strong of mind, strong of character. ELIOT UNASSIMILABLE TOO. From The St. Paul (Winn ) Appeal From the Mr. A. and (Minh.) Appeal. Praetor Elliot of Harvard recently published a short statement in which he alluded, rather unamputhetically, to races which were "unassimilable." A brief time later, rather unamputhetically, to races of churches. The idea took; and in a short time, quite a number of churches were federating very enthusiastically. Presidency of the "initiated" attempted to federate the "very eminent representatives of the denomination were politely but firmly-informed that they were "unassimilable." Perhaps it is well known that the eminent representatives learn, from actual experience, how if feels to be "unassimilable." CICERO AFRICANES. From The Liberia African League. Africa is to regain her pristine valor and greatness and be to the world what Egypt once was; and this is to be done by Liberia as the gateway. Would this not cause Ciegee Africans and the innumerable sleeping sirces of ancient Egypt to turn over in them tomb and clap their hands? OUR JOYOUS PHILOSOPHY. From The Ohio State Journal The Negro is the happiest of the human race. Notwithstanding social and political obstacles, he is always joyous and serene. Go into a street car, where there are several colored people sitting side by side and it is a scene of happiness. While the white people are sitting as silent and solemn as sepulchral slate, the Negroes are brimming over with fun and foliage. Realize it seems that to them the good Lord is making for all that social conditions have deprived them of. If a visitor from Mars would step into the car, he would instantly conclude that the white people were afflicted with some dark fate. Some may think that this exuberance is an indication of the intelligence it has to engrave it as a sign of intelligence. It is certainly the highest philosophy, taking the world as it comes along and making the best of it. A great deal of the discount of this world consists in taking the other task. But this is not the only thing that these people should way the Negro will pluck them and make a posse of them. The woods he will leave for the white folks. We observe, in Thomas Dixon's "Clanman" that he tries to show up "the paradox of an educated Negro." In response to Dixon's imminent reflection a Negro sends him a letter to make him a board of impartial examiners and submit to a competitive examination in all the college subjects except the languages." Here is a chance for Dixon to fortify his position. As his mission to pull down the Negro, he ought to this challenge in the service of good faith; but as it prejudice and not truth that Dixon deals in he will ignore the challenge. RUSSIAN REACTION From The Xenla (O). Standard and On server. The Czar has given his restless subjects an inch of liberty and have taken an hour to have the hundred years they have been subsisting on the bare hunks of absoluteness, and they have become famished and desperate and the concessions made to them giving hungry a taste of fresh blood. CHRISTIANIZING UGANDA. From the Liberla Recorder. During 1801 more than 9,000 persons, more than 6,000 of whom were adults, were baptized in connection with the C. M. S. Mission in Uganda. There are 18,184 pupils and 50,571 baptized Christians in the whole Uganda Protectorate. With such signal success as the above shows the仰望 that the ultimate triumph of perceptions about Christianity is Affrica, where at present Islam has such a strong foothold. Whitepeppers Punish Informers. The Puff City News. The Governor of Mississippi has at last offered a reward of $500 for the arrest and conviction of the murderer or murderers of Pink Adams, who was recently killed in Franklin county by some of the members of the white mob and furnishing the Federal Court evidence upon which more than 300 indictments were found. Sunday at Concord Church At the Concord Baptist church in Brooklyn last Sabbath morning Dr. W. T. Dixon preached a milder sermon than last Sunday's. At 12 o'clock headministered the ordinance to be held by the bishop, superintendent of the Sunday school directed the primary department: which holds its session in the lecture room, to meet with the main school. The session of the school was quite shaky, but no ghosts were seen. On Thursday afternoon and a second meeting at 6:30, and at 7:30 Dr. Dixon preached a soulstrin' sermon. Three persons came forward to be prayed for. Rosevelt or the Windjummerer From the Macon (Men.) Weekly Journal. We wonder which will the American public more likely accept—Mr. Roosevelt's estimate of Dr. Washington and the Tuskegae, or the estimator of a few other troubled, nervous mud-slings of his own race. South African colored races spend in the £3,200,000 annually. The Commercial WINE & LIQUOR WAREHOUSE 2192 Fifth Ave., New York Southwest car, of 23th Street.

Hank Petrie and His Turkey observation of the tuffy growth of grass in Hank's well cropped pasture. Hank laced the ability to convert his peculiar mental talents into something of commercial value. It can perhaps be best illustrated by his method of woodchuck hunting. Hank was the possessor of a gun that had a recoil like a mountain. howitzer. He was particularly friendly toward it, for he said, there was a sort of sympathetic bond between them. "We both kick when we have to work," as he expressed it. When the woodchuck, fever was on he would shoulder the gun and start out. Sometimes he was successful and sometimes otherwise. When he brought one home he would skim it and tack the skim on the door of the barn. Then, when some admiring youngster would come along, Hank would give him the skim he had so carefully tanned to show him where there was another woodchuck. Some one asked Hank how he ever expected to make anything out of this kind of a deal. H was shiftless. This was accepted where he was known with an "amen." - Hank's mind was active in spite of his great infirmity. It made him a philosopher, not a dreamer, but an earthly resident. This same mind of Hank's led him into various schemes. "Well," replied Hank, "some time I'll find a hole with two in it." The proprietor of the hotel at the Corners had advertised a turkey raffle the day before Thanksgiving. Hank went, took a few chances, but was not successful. He spent what money he had, and it occurred to him on the way home that it was going to be a pretty dull Thanksgiving without turkey. Just about this time the erratic sage's wonderful mentality asserted itself. He stopped Jennie about opposite, the squirrel's place, climbed out of his wagon and went around behind the henhouse. In a few minutes he came back, got into his wagon and went on home. The next morning Hank appeared at the squirrel's. "STOCK GET OUT?" led him into various schemes. It made him cautious, the cautiousness that breed laziness and shifftiness, for when the-roof leaked he put a pan under the hole, instead of making the repairs. Some one suggested shingles. "Well, I'll tell you," he replied. "You see my ladder is old. The rounds are rotten, and I have a family to support. Suppose a round should break and I break my leg—who'd look after the old woman and the kids? Besides, the ladder is part of the garden fence, and as for puttin' the pan under the hole, why, that's no bother. If the old woman wants to use the pan, why, she can wait till it stops rainin'—a rest will do her good anyway. There's no use makein' a slave out of a woman because she's ambitious. Besides, on a rainy day a man can't do nothin' but mend "Been down to the hemlouse yet, squirrel?" "No, not yet. Why?" "Well, last night when I was comin' home my tikkey got excited, hopped out of the wagon, and before I could stop her she flew over the fence and THE MUSEUM OF ART AND SCIENCE HEN TURKEY ON HER NEST. went down through your orchard toward the henhouse. I 'spose she's in with yours." harness anyway. My harness is borrowed. What's the good of mendin' a borrowed harness? No sooner a man gets it mended than the feller comes after it. I never knew it to fail. "Heir!" slowly replied the squirrel, thinking slowly just what Hank's move was going to be. "Suppose you'd know her, Hank. If you'd see her?" Here is where the venerable squirrel thought he had Hank effectually stopped. When every one else was planting potatoes Hank was wondering if it was going to be a dry summer or like the one they had nine years ago. And when Bill Gleason, with a boldness that he might have known would have stirred the very dregs of Hank's mental cup of reason, asked him why he didn't turn up a little ground and put in a few hills of potatoes. Hank tapped the 'bowl' of his pipe and replied: "Yes, I think I would, squire. She had a piece of red flannel tied to one of her legs." Here the squire lost the first checker. "They ain't no such turkey down there, Hank. I don't believe you ever started home with her." Hank moved again. "What's the use? If it's a good year for potatoes most anybody will give me enough to carry me through the winter; if its a bad year, why, they won't nobody have any." This closed the potato incident. "Well, now, see here, squire. If they ain't no such turkey down there, why, that settles it, of course. But so long's you ain't been down there, how you goin' to tell? You don't mind goin' there with me to look, do you? You know all your tur keys. You ain't got any with a piece of red flannel on their legs, have you?" "No, I ain't," said the squire. A Hank was the possessor of an old bay mare. The feed was very poor in Hank's pasture. "Jennie knows every blade of grass in that pasture," said he, "and she's got every one timed when it will be long enough to eat again." Squire Whipple had a fine piece of grass growing next above Hank's place. About dusk every evening the philosopher would slowly saunter down the road and inquire after the squire. He would spend a few minutes hanging over the fence and notice if the squire was preparing for bed, talk a few minutes and then go back home. Jennie, when it grew drier, would be led into the squire's meadow for her evening meal. Of course it wasn't long before the squire noticed that his meadow was fast becoming bald in spots and suspected Hank and Jennie. Hank from his lack of good pasture and Jennie from her unusual rotundity of person. "THERE'S MY BIRD, legs, have you?" "No, I ain't." SQUIRE." said the squire. "Well, then, if they're a bird down there with a piece of red flannel on her leg she don't belong to you, does she's asked Hank. "No, she don't. But I know well enough that they ain't none down there that don't belong there." Hank was getting ready to "kling." Becoming aware of the squire's suspicions. Hank devoted part of one evening to taking down part of the squire's fence and turning Fan, the squire's own horse, into the meadow. Next morning the squire was out early mending fence. "All right, squire, all right; but suppose they is then - well, then - she belongs to some one else, don't she?" "Yes, I suppose she does," reluctantly admitted the squire. So they jogged along down to the barnyard, and there in the yard was a fat turkey with a piece of flaring red - channel tied to one of its legs. "Yes; last night old Fan got into the timothy," and then with just the slightest touch of sarcasm, he added, "It wouldn't be doin' any great harm if you'd patch up your fence a bit, Hank." "There's my bird, squire, sure enough," said the crafty Hank, and the squire once more felt the unsatisfying but convincing force of Hank's reasoning. "Well, I guess old Fan wouldn't find any great plekin" over in my pasture, squire," replied Hank with a low chuckle. This ended Jennie's nocturnal banquets, and she fell back into her "Take her, Hank. She's yours, I guess," said the squire as he sat down on the tongue of a wagon, scratched his head and watched Hank round up the turkey with its scarlet anklet. At the opposite extreme from the cheap jingolam which looks upon the Causalian race, or perhaps even the Anglo-Saxon branch of it, as the divinely appointed heir of the area, in whose interests other races should be kept under, or, if needful, extolled, is the broad evolutionary theory set forth by George-Bedward Woodberry in *The Torch* (Clure), a small volume made up of eight lectures on race, power in literature delivered before the Lowry Institute, of Boston in 1903. Prof. Woodberry is a student of comparative literature, a study which teaches nothing more impressively than the probability of there being such a thing as an ultimate civilization till the planet itself begins to die. It is from the broad comparative view of literatures that we most clearly see how each nation contributes its best and then disappears: "So Athena dissolved like a pearl in the cup of the Mediterranean, and Rome in the cup of Europe, and Judea in the cup of the world." That races die and yield their places to their heirs seems to the student as much a part of the plan of Nature as the death of individual. They are but large units of man: "For a race, as for individual, there is a time to die, and that time, as history closes it, is the moment of Nature might be quarrelled with—what is perfection? But it is a fine and generous view that Prof. Woodberry gets from his survey of the mountain peaks: "This is the largest fact in the moral order of the world; it is the center of providence in history. In the life of the human spirit the death of the earth is the moment of their consummation, as is the fading of the flower of the field or the annual fall of the leaves of the forest in the natural world; and unless this be a sacrificial death, it were wontonness and waste, like the earth is supernatural, and raised above Nature by an imperishable relation which they contain. Race history is a perpetual celebration of the mass. The cross initials every page with its broad gold border, and the cleft in the clew to the meaning. Always some great culture is dying to enrich the soil of new harrows, some civilization is crumbling to rubbish to be the hill of a more beautiful city, some race is spending itself that a lower and more hospitable god may inherit its stored treasurehouse." But for this conviction, as he says, history would be a spectacle to appall the reason. But the human mind survives the ruin of empires, the death of religions, the extirpation of separate races: "The race-minded is the outpace of the raceless." All human knowledge, experience that survives. It is the result of millions of lives when earthly power it stores in one deathless force." LIKE TICE IN ALBANY.

Time for Which They Were Hired Expected During Service. Just as the funeral procession of John Humphrey Patterson, with Rev. Dixon and representatives of the True Reformers in the lead, was leaving the pulpit of the Concord Baptist church Sunday afternoon, the undertaker in charge rushed excitedly up the aisle and asked that the remains, he held in the lecture room of the church, as the time for which he had his burial arrangements waited. He insisted if the party would wait, to return at 2 o'clock for them, but not until 4:30 did he put in appearances. The family of the deceased were much embarrassed. Mr. Patterson died on last Friday morning at the age of 75 years. He had for many years been a resident of Flatbush and was a familiar figure in the neighborhood, as he kept a fruit and peanut stand at the corner of Malborn street and Flatbush avenue.

BY EDGAR WELTON COULLEY [Image of a woman in a long dress holding a book, with a bird perched on her head.] The Two Goblins By Hezekiah Butterworth THIS comes a proud day in late summer to an old farm, a day of real imperfection. It is when the hen tries to to the home roofs and does things from the fields, bringing her to with her. The day parade takes place near the farm slowly and cautiously, and if it comes to done the cook turkey does the sunny air. The fire of the barn falling in showers in the air is indeed as bright as it is in summer time, but the air is still and seems hollow, and occasionally a nervous wind from the north rustles the russet leaves. That night she roosts her flock on the ridgepole of the cockloft or in one of the dooryard trees. The sun and moon seem the same on, that glorious day. The moon comes up over the sea like a night sun, golden and red, and the night turns into another day, not quite so warm as the sun days, but often very warm. It was very warm on the sight of which I have a story to tell. The place was a shipyard country house on the North river, where a fleet of ships had been built, and among them the Columbia, which was a wonder. It was that ship, commanded by Captain Kendrick, that discovered the Columbia river. There had gone to work in that fa Born in Shepard a giant of a man named Ruggles. He was a student of natural history, but he had never heard of how the turkeys came home in Indian summer. He swung his broadax high in the twelve or more hours of his toll, and when he slept it was as a giant sleepa. The good woman of the thrifty farm kept boarders, and she had many now, as it was the high tide of the ship-building. When Mr. Ruggles came she knew not how to accommodate him; her beds were all full except one in a little room under the cockloft. "You are a six footer," she said to the same Mr. Ruggles, "and something over. I have but one bed left, and that is one that the chore boy used to occupy, but you will have to make the best of it." "And that I will," said the giant. He did. He slept fairly well, for there was an east wind. That was the night, before the hen turkey came home with all her feathery magnificence for Thanksgiving. There was no east wind on the following night after the lady turkey's regimental return. The contented bird ordered her flock to roost on the ridgopole over a little window under the eaves trough, which was bowered with woodbine turning red. The flock was so numerous that they crowded together, and said "Quilt!" to each other on getting settled into silence, but they were arranged in a row at last, and the world was silent. Mr. Ruggles, of the long limbs, went to his room, unconscious of the company on the ridgepole. The night was very hot, and the good woman had left the window open, after brushing away the wasp nests and cobwebs. "This is stifling," said he, after sinking down on his narrow bed. "I cannot stand this crampling bed. What will I do? I will put my feet out of the window. There is no one to know." So he stretched his great feet and calves out of the window, wide apart under the eaves trough and cool wood- ```markdown ``` "ISN'T SHE A BIRD?" blue, and gave a snore and was in oblivion. The turkeys were fattening, and when the great sun-moon came up over the sea they became uncomfortable, and two young gobblers put their heads down to look for a more easy adjustment, and there it was, handy as it could be—Mr. Ruggles' two feet and ample supports. One of them stepped down very carefully and lighted upon Mr. Ruggles' leg, just above the foot, and gave a note of satisfaction. The other followed the example. Mr. Ruggles slept on, and the two gobblers were soon asleep perched on his two legs and nestled close to his feet. Of what Mr. Ruggles dreamed we cannot be sure, but early in the morn- TWO GOBLINS FLEW INTO THE AIR. Ruggles." And Mr. Ruggles started and began to draw in his legs, when two goblins flew into the air. In relating this adventure he was asked how he knew that they were goblins. "Because they both said so, all of themselves," said he. "But they found that they could not carry me away. I was too much for them. What had I ever done to be visited by two evil spirits like that?" Mr. Ruggles rose and put his head out of the window. He saw two turkeys on the ground. One of them looked up to the ridgepole and said, "Mr. Ruggles," or what sounded like it to suggestions or inner consciousness. "They both appeared greatly surprised," said Mr. Ruggles. "They asked the same. question as the goblins, only they clipped their words. I wonder if they saw the goblins fly away. I will never put my two feet out of the window again." And ever afterward the careful man swung high his broadax by day and gathered up his feet at night after the manner of his fathers. Of what Mr. cannot be sure, ing he thought he heard some one say, "Mr. Ruggles, Mr. Ruggles!" "Hey!" The same voice said in a tone of surprise, "Mr. Ruggles." His personality easily changed the "Go" sound into "Ru." Then another voice said in a tone of equal surprise, "Mr. TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 30, 1906 Provisions and Groceries.

Where you will find a full line of Choice Meats, Poultry, Provisions, Fish and Lincoln and Thanksgiving by J. A. EDGERTON [Copyright, 1906, by J. A. Edgerton.] IKE so many other good things Thanksgiving day in America originated, with the Puritans. But in its present form as a national holiday it readily owes its existence to Abraham Lincoln. The annual designation by the president of the last Thursday in November for such observance was started by him in 1863, and there has since been no break in the yearly Thanksgiving proclamations since that date. The first Lincoln proclamation appointing a day for divine supplication was dated Aug. 12, 1861. It designated the last Thursday in September as "a day of humiliation, prayer and fasting." Things did not look especially bright for the northern arms just then. The memory of Bulldrum was still fresh. Perhaps, to this fact may be ascribed the pathetic wording of the document: Whereens. When our own beloved country, once, by the blessing of God, united, prosperous and happy, is now afflicted with faction and civil war, it is particularly fit for us to recognize the hand of God in this terrible visitation and in sorrowful 10 remembrance of our own faults and crimes as a nation and as individuals to humble ourselves before him and to pray for his mercy. Thousands of individuals throughout the hind refrained from food and prayed for the nation's salvation. The regular Thanksgiving in November, 1861, was a rather subdued occasion and there was no presidential proclamation. By the following spring, however, the clouds had begun to lift. Forts Henry and Donelson had been captured and Shiloh had been fought. So on the 10th of April Lincoln requested that the people give thanks because "it has pleased Amniglyt God to vouchsafe signal victories to the land and naval forces." Thanksgiving day proper in November of 1862 was observed much as it had been the year previous and no proclamation accompanied it. The momentous year of 1863 saw three such proclamations, however. The first was dated March 30 and designated April 20 as a day of fasting and prayer. In this rather noteworthy document occurs the significant statement, "But we have forgotten God." By July 15 Vicksburg had opened the Mississippi, and Gettysburg had ended the fear of invasion, so on that day another proclamation was issued, reciting that God had heard the prayers of the people and had vouchsafed "victories on land and sea so signal and so effective" as to promise ultimate peace. So Thursday, Aug. 6, was set apart as a day for national thanksgiving. On Oct. 3 came the first of Lincoln's regular Thanksgiving day proclamations. It recites the brighter outlook for the Union, dwells lovingly on the continued growth of the nation despite its tribulations, gratefully points to the fact that other nations have not been drawn into the struggle, and says, "No human counsel hath devised nor hath any mortal hand worked out these great things," so the last Thursday in November is set apart as "a day of thanksgiving and praise." July 7, 1864, by direction of congress, President Lincoln designated the first Thursday of August "as a day of national humiliation and prayer." Oct. 20 of the same year saw the issuance of Lincoln's second and last regular Thanksgiving proclamation. Before Thanksgiving day arrived it was known that Lincoln, by an overwhelming majority, had been chosen to succeed himself. The war was wearing to a close, and the occasion was auspicious. so many other good things. Thanksgiving day in America originated, with the Puritans. But in its present form as a national holiday it really owes its existence to Abraham Lincoln.
