HOW WRIGHT LEFT MANILA. FILIPINOS JUBILANT. TILL HE SAID HAD RETURN. Then Their Disappointment Was Success—To Save His Face Huge Purewell Banquet Was Selected by Heachmen—Few Filipinos. Present, and They in Speaking Dedged Subject of the Occasion—joy of the Native When Wright Finally Sailed Away—Upopularity Due to His Race Prejudice. Special Correspondence of THE AGN. "You may go when you get your trains packed."—Comic Song. Masaya, P. I., November 6.—November 4, 1905, was a day that will long be remembered in the Philippines. In Manila it was a day of loud rejoicing. Yet there was considerable silence of the kind that issues from regret. Crowds had gathered since early morning on the banks of the Pasig, lining either end and covering full the historical old bridge el Puente de Espana. They had gathered to bid "Despedidas" to the departing Governor. Among the Filipinos "Despedidas" had been bidden all over the city—all over the archipelago—since first the news of the Governor's retirement found space in the local newspaper. The loud rejoicing came for the most part from among the gathered Americans and foreigners who had a sincere word of "hidsped and safe return" for the chief executive. He had been a successful governor for them, and it was natural that they should mingle with their best wishes for a happy voyage, hope for his speedy return. Some little of the loud rejoicing came from Filipinos, but as a rule the mute silence that prevailed was theirs. It was a silence of regret, sincere and deep; and the veil of pathos that hung around it was sufficient to form a subject for more than one ordinary story like this. The crowds of them that were assembled on the muzzle around the silent monument of Anda and that picked a view of the dramatic scene from the lofty eminence of the Puente caused no little itch irritation to the Americans and foreigners by their persistent declination to join in the hostilities, bunzais that sporadically issued from that quarter in a frantic effort to awaken enthusiasm for the final salute of departure. But, alas! Governor Luke E. Wright, of Malacañan Palace and Cumberland Cross Road, Louisiana, had striven hard during the occupancy of the gubernatorial chair to make his administration one of success. That he failed was no fault of him. It was inevitable. He was a victim of two circumstances over which he had little control. He had succeeded a most momentarily popular man to his post; his ability to survive the weight of his native heath in an environment both them and the affection of an "inferior people" found a precedent in more character acknowledged in his. But he that as it may, he had succeeded in making most unpopular man during his office; and now, at the time picture from the islands, the times when it is necessary of colonial governors to take a "face," in order that the home government may not be hidden and severe jolt, the minister of the Philippines found it ends to procure the mercy for the farewell show, of his own nationality, obligated to perform the business so that the president's white colony might not be in the instance. But what did he do? Ah, presto! A ban-solve it, and a banquet at the Philippino orators would be given opportunity to express their heart for the fact of the Governor'signed, and their heartfelt rejoicing the reign even for a cause as impaired health! The Philippines take part in a ban on the Governor? He was uninterested in them and his unpopularity made a deliberate issue. Yet, since he was not a matter of common knowledge, the Philippines, there was no securing their co-operative of failures in public office quintessence of success in What they lack in public office by a fulness of pri- ence. It was somewhat the posi- tion of the person who was not with- they used much energy to drive a public spread of eclipse anything of the protests that have spread malogany tops in the governors since the The banquet was the Filipino orators im- pire for the occasion the deficiency would moment the press could be depended on cold type. I think of Wright that although three states were laid at the Filipinos took part were sent about to means to raise money off. In one of the one lose Filipino description was was prepared and the close on to the day reeling and all would If the Governor him- another one of those were not him at logger- heads with the native people for most of the time during his two years of rule, and apoiled the picture in the making. Around the spacious mahoganies in a noted hall three hundred gay and hearty filled the anxious seats at a feast that will go down in memory as the hugest exhibition of premeditated sham that ever found room for life in the Philippines. Speeches there were, and good things to eat, and drinking and merry-making. The orators vied with each other in a strenuous effort to make the occasion one of monumental proportions. Americans spoke, foreigners respondd to the biddings of the toast-master; Filipinos in high-flown and bombastic silences told of things foreign to the scene and subject, and minced of Vich sausages and limburger cheeses. Pleaseantly the hours rolled by till the time for the Governor to speak was reached and the assemblage at once became silent and expectant. With that grave dignity characteristic of the Stalwarts of Tennessee, when they have reached the point of greatness where they are assured their deguerreotypes will adorn the pages of history, the Governor arose, and with impressiveness told of his appreciation of the good things that had been said of him and his administration. There followed much applause. It gave him pain, said he, to bid his beloved isles farewell. (More and enthusiastic applause). He trusted that the warm hearts of his hearers would last over the period of his absence (applause mingled with stares of surprise) and that he was coming back. That the statements that had found life anent his resigning were false—he would be back again to administer to the cares of his dear native people! "Carambas!" in under breaths from Filipinos, and long and enthusiastic applause from Americans and foreigners. The papers next day in chronicling the three success of the event also made note that several of the Filinino participants were taken violently ill after the festivities. It was during the act of the final scene of the leave taking that I ambled down the Escolta and turned into the Puente de Espana on my way to the office on the morning our good and honored Governor was bidding aden to the hand to which he had been the cause of so much pleasure and pain. The historical old bridge swayed to and fro under the pressure of the weight upon it. Myriads of heads poked themselves from over the rail guards to get a last glimpse. Over by the Anda monument were hundreds of Filipinos of Anglobaxon, German and Spanish accent engaged in a social tussle as a parting stroke of feliz viaje. The Togalogs and others looked on from the gallery. As the good ship that bore the Governor slipped its moorings and turned its head down the Pasig on its way to the sea there stole out from among the half-sulen, half glad crowd in the gallery a spontaneous cry—"Feliz Viaje!" Arrived at the office I found the gentleman who officiates as my myordomo, escribiente and cochero (servant, clerk and coachman) in a state of unusual hilarity. He was jumping about and throwing his arms in such wild confusion that I was moved to inquire of Antonio the cause of his jubilancy. "No sabe, usted, Senor; no sabe usted, gue el Gobinaderir ha salido!" "Yes, Antonio," I replied. "I know of the Governor's departure, but—" Antonio drew himself up to dramatic proportions and stentoriously blurted out—“Senor, est tan alegre por la salida del Governor que no quiero trabajar hoy”—which, if translated into the more forceful language of the man who in the United States occupies a like social status of Antonio, would read: “I am so glad the Governor's gone that I don't care to work to-day.” A few minutes after the departure of Antonio my old friend and good customer Enrique Schmitz dropped in to inquire about the market price of picaduras. I told about the conduct of Antonio. “He vas mad, he vas mad,” said Schmitz. “Id serves dem Filipinos right; dey at da banquet to da Governor und eating Vich sausages und limburger cheeses, und didn't no vich vas vich. It should kill'd de whole dem lot of 'em." O'DAY HELPS BAPTIST CHURCH. Rockefeller's Associate Gives New Heating Plants. Hot Springs, Ark, December 9.—As a result of the visit of John D. Rockefeller and Daniel O'Day, to the Afro-American Baptist church on Thanksgiving night the congregation are congratulating themselves on what will practically be a new church. Mr. O'Day was very much interested in the devotion of these people, but their church struck him as an inadequate church on winter nights. He therefore generously offered to enlarge the building, renovate it and install therein an up to date heating apparatus. His offer was accepted with praise, and work has already been begun. Mr. O'Day has been associated with Mr. Rockefeller in the Standard Oil business since 1870. GRAYES ATTEMPTS SUICIDE. Yale Graduate and Forcer Plungen on Stone Pavement. St. Louis, December 7.—Louis C. Graves, the Afro-American Yale graduate, recently convicted of forgery and sentenced to two years in the penitentiary, to-day attempted suicide by plunging head first, from the halcony in the stone flaging beneath. jail to the stone negroes. He was picked an unconscious and examination showed: that his skull had been fractured. His chances for recovery are slim. Reported Lynched by Afro-American. MEMPHIS, Tenn. December 11.—Jim Green, an Afro-American, has been reported lynched at Boyle, Miss., by members of his own race. Green, it is alleged, had assaulted an Afro-American girl aged eight years. MRS. JOHN OLDROOM HE SAYS: "I BELIEVE A DIVINE DISCONTENT SHOULD ENTER THE BREAST OF EVERY MAN WHO DOESN'T HAVE A CHANCE AT ALL THE PRIVILEGES WHICH OTHER MEN ENJOY." SCREEN COURT FAILS LYNCHER. TUSKEGEE'S ANNIVERSARY. Ordera Habem Corpora of Rigginia of Alabama Quanebed WASHINGTON, December 11.—The Supreme Court of the United States today reversed the ruling of the Circuit Court of the United States for the Northern District of Alabama, in the case of Thomas M. Riggins, and remanded the case to the Alabama court, with directions to quash the writ of habeas corpus sued out by Riggins, and dismiss the petition for such a-writ. The case presented the broad question of the right of the Afro-American to protection against lynching under the Federal Constitution and laws, and thus involved the jurisdiction of the Federal Courts in such cases. The court did not, however, enter upon these questions, but based its decision upon the technical ground that the proceeding, by means of a writ of habeas corpus, was irregular. Riggins is a white man, and was indicted by the grand jury for the Circuit Court for the Northern District of Alabama on the charge of conspiring with others to lynch an Afro-American named Maples at Huntsville, Ma, in September, 1904. After being taken into custody he presented a petition to the Circuit Court praying to be released on a writ of habeas corpus, contending that even if true the offense charged was "no denal to Maples, a person of African descent, by reason of his race of the right, privilege, and immunity of a trial by jury to determine his guilt or innocence of the charge of murder." He broadly challenged the jurisdiction of the court, and when his writ was refused, appealed the case to the Supreme Court. The prosecution in the Federal Court was based upon the provisions of sections 5,508 and 5,509 of the revised statutes, and involved the construction of the Thirteenth and Fourteenth Amendments to the Federal Constitution. EPIDEMIC OF MURDERS. Four Afro-Americans Lost Their Lives Last Week. An epidemic of murders in New York last week cost four Afro-American, two men and two women, their lives. Last Wednesday night an Afro-American called "Smoky Mokes," from the name of a ragtime song he had written, walked into the Cedar Social club at 140 West 32d street and fatally shot Thaddeus Washington and Bill Butler, two tenderloin bullies. Washington had beaten Smoky the night before. The latter gave himself up to the police, whom he had warned of his intentions. On Thursday night the Italian husband of Emma Fringo, an Afro-American woman, shot her fatally in their rooms next door to the 30th street police station. The pair had had much trouble. Fringo was captured by the police. On Friday morning Elsie Parker, Afro-American, was stabbed and almost fatally killed in the corridor of the West Side court by William Williams, also an Afro-American, who had been summoned to court by the woman to answer a charge of assault. Williams was overpowered and disarmed by Attorney J. Frank Wheaton and a policeman, and locked upon a charge of homicide. H. S. Middleton Becomes Deputy in Charge of Fifth Division. Mr. Harry S. Middleton, the Afro- American Republican leader of the 25th Assembly district, was appointed by Hon. Charles W. Anderson on Monday to be deputy internal revenue collector at a salary of $1,400 per year. Mr. Middleton will be in charge of the fifth division. Mr. Anderson, it will be remembered, recently appointed Mr. Fred R. Moore to be deputy in charge of the wholesale stamp department at $1,400 a year; and Mr. James A. Anderson to be U. S. gauger at $5 a day. TUSKEGEE'S ANNIVERSARY. Twenty-Fifth Year to Be Celebrated Next April. The twenty-fifth anniversary of the founding of the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute will be celebrated in April of the coming year. President Charles W. Eliot of Harvard University has consented to be one of the principal speakers during the three days' celebration. The following recommendations made by Principal Booker T. Washington to the board of trustees of the Tuskegee Institute have been ratified: "I would recommend that the celebration be made the occasion for showing the progress of the Negro people in the following directions: "(1) To display the history, including the growth of Hampton Institute—out of which Tuskegee has grown—the present status, and the distinctive aims and service of the Tuskegee Institute. "(2) To display the work of our graduates, and the history, and the present condition of the school that are the outgrowth of Tuskegee. "(3) To exhibit the scope, and the efficiency of the Tuskegee Institute. "(4) To celebrate a revival of plantation melodies. "(5) To exhibit the history, progress, and present condition of the American Negro. "(6) To bring eminent men, white and black, from the South and the North, to represent under such auspices and to voice on the same platform the points of view and maturing convictions of their sections and their people upon Negro education and training." (17) I would further recommend that this celebration be made the occasion for a substantial increase in our endowment fund. TAFT TO SPEAK AT TUSKEGEE. Will Be Present at Celebration of Institute's Silver Anniversary. TUSKEGEE INSTITUTE, Ala., December 9.—When Dr. Washington was in Washington this week, he obtained the promise of Secretary of War Taft to deliver one of the principal addresses at Tuskegee on the occasion of the celebration of the twenty-fifth anniversary of Tuskegee Institute. The celebration will take place about the middle of next April. STUDENTS HOOT GORDON. Open Rebellion at Howard Against Unpopular President. WASHINGTON, December 12.—The students of Howard University broke out into open revolt against President John Gordon at chapel exercises last Friday. At the noon chapel exercises, when Dr. Gordon entered, a student arose and shouted: "What's the matter with Gordon?" Instead of the customary flattering reply, the response came back: "He's all wrong." A storm of hisses and hoots followed, and then the students went on a strike and held indignation meetings on the campus. The next day order was restored and the students were again in their classes. They are outspoken in their determination, however, that Dr. Gordon shall go. The revolt was due to the charges which have been preferred against the president by prominent Afro-Americans of entertaining and manifesting race prejudice. AMERICAN GETS CONGO POST. Leopold Maken Mohun Director of Ahlr Company. ANTWERP, December 8.-R. Dorew Mohun, ex-American Consular Agent at Boma, Congo Independent State, has been appointed Director of the Abir Congo Company on King Leopold's recommendation for the purpose of furthering Congo reforms. The selection of an American for the position is considered significant. PREJUDICE IN PANAMA. Nurse Softened Work. Become of Color —Separate Schools at Ostrichbal. Special Correspondence of Tum Acm. Color, Panama, November 28—During the month of September three nurses arrived here from Washington to work in the hospitals of the Isthmian Canal Commission. Among them was Miss Emma M. Jeffries, an Afro-American woman. On the steamer coming here Miss Jeffries was made to feel the prejudice against her color, as one of the white nurses refused to occupy the same state room with her. When the nurses arrived on the Isthmus they were taken by train to the hospital at Ancon, capital of the Canal Zone. Miss Jeffries was informed at the nurses' reception room by the lady in charge, that she had made a great mistake in coming here, as all of the other nurses were white and had decided to go on a strike if forced to work with a Negro. They even refused to sit with her at the same table for meals. Miss Jeffries was, a few days afterwards, appointed to serve at a sanitarium at Taboga, a small island in the Pacific ocean, which is used as a health resort by residents of the Isthmus, and of which Dr. Randall of Alabama, is in charge. Here, again, Miss Jeffries met with the same prejudice, and was not permitted to administer a dose of medicine to a patient. She was then appointed to the Insane Asylum at Miraflores, a small village in the Canal Zone near the city of Panama. This place is also used as an asylum for incurables, and it would be almost impossible to get a white nurse to go there, the majority of the patients being Negroes. Miss Jeffries, finding that her color was in the way of her success for a good position, declined this appointment, and leaves on the steamer to-morrow for New York. It is not improper to remark here that colored nurses should not be sent to the Isthmus unless there is assurance that they may work apart from their white sisters. The color line is being drawn here in schools. The municipality of Cristol has passed an ordinance to establish a school for white American children. CARNEGIE ASKS FAIR PLAY. Those Denied Rights Should Feel Divine Discontent. Mr. Andrew Carnegie gave some advice about the Negro problem and his usual annual donation of $10,000 to Hampton institute at a meeting of the Armstrong association at the home by Mr. William Jay Schieffelin, 3 East 66th street. Mr. Carnegie said a part: The Negro calls for fair play, and he should have it. I believe a divine discontent should enter the breast of every man who doesn't have a chance at all the privileges that other men enjoy. There is plenty of work for us in this country. We should have more home missions, which are worth a million missions as much as foreign missions. We have here in the United States 9,000,000 Negroes. We couldn't transport them if we wanted to, and we had better not want to, for we couldn't do without them. "There is no noise in getting discouraged in ignorance of the Negro and for derying short-for-their enlightenment. I venture there was a time when our forefathers stood far below the present status of the Negro. I often go South to the home of one of my relatives. From what I can learn of the Negro from people who know him intimately and from actual talk with him myself, I think he is a faithful, likeable, very developable character. I wish I were an expert on this problem, for then I would do the State some service, because this is the greatest problem of the country. Other speakers were Dr. Friissell, Rev. J. Howard Melish of Holy Trinity church Brooklyn, and Mr. Seligmann. J. Howard Melish of Holy Trinity church, Brooklyn, and Mr. Schieffelin, Booker T. Washington was praised as the most illustrious graduate of Hampton. A bronze head of him, modeled from life by Miss Leila Usher, was exhibited. If $1,000 can be raised to pay for it, it is to be presented to Hampton, through the Armstrong association, early next year on Founder's day there. TERRELL STAYS; HEWLITT OUT. President Renpollata Six Washington Justices. WASHINGTON, December 10.—President Roosevelt, in sending in the nominations for justices of the peace yesterday, reduced the number from ten to six. Those chosen are Robert H. Terrell, Lewis J. O'Neal, Samuel M. Mills, Luke C. Strider, Thomas H. Callan and Charles S. Bundy. Mr. Terrell is now the only Afro-American justice of the peace in the district, Judge E. M. Hewitt having failed of reappointment. Mr. Terrell was not only heartily supported by his own people, but by many prominent lawyers and other citizens of Washington: He is a graduate of Harvard University, and was selected as one of the six speakers to represent his class at commencement. He is a native of Virginia and was one of the first Afro-Americans to gain distinction at an Eastern college. In 1902 he was appointed one of the new justices of the Magistrate Courts. Thecolore Drury will accept out of town concert engagements for churches, etc. Address 36 West 117th street, New York—adv.747. GARRISON DAY OBSERVED. GARRISON DAY OBSERVED. LIBERATOR GRATUALLY HONORED BY AFOF-AMERICAN PEOPLE. Booker T. Washington and T. Thomas Fortune Speakern at Chief New York Meeting—Big White Meeting at Cooper Union, With Dr. Conway as Principal Speaker—R. C. Simmons Garrison Orator for Brooklyn—Celonel Higginson Spoke at Brooklyn Institute—Celebrations in Neighboring Towns. The centenary birthday of William Lloyd Garrison was celebrated Sunday throughout the country. In practically every church, even in the heart of the South where a price was once set on the Abolitionist's head, Garrison sermons were preached and Garrison programs rendered. The keynote of all celebrations was that the Afro-American people by its achievements, must prove its worthiness of Garrison's labors and sacrifices. Accounts of the Garrison meetings in this vicinity will be found below. The chief meeting in New York city was held at Bethel church, Dr. Henderson, pastor, at 3 p. m. Mr. T. Thomas Fortune was the chief speaker, and the program was augmented by a short address by Dr. Booker T. Washington, who arrived unexpectedly. The program opened with religious exercises. Garrison's sonnet on "Liberty" was delivered with great clearness and self-possession by little Miss Genivieve Johnson; Mr. S. P. Broughten spoke on "Garrison's Associates"; Mme. Harper sang a solo; Rev. S. P. Hood, a scholarly gentleman from Harrisburg, Pa., compared the Negroes of Hayti and those of the United States to the advantage of the latter, who, he declared, are richer than the former in Christian spirit; and Mr. Edgar Jackson rendered a recitation. Dr. Washington was received with sincere joy and spoke with his characteristic impressive carenestness. He said in part: To us this is a sacred hour. A very sacred and precious day, more so to us than to any other people on the earth. It is interesting to see how widely the idea of celebrating Me. Garrison's birthday is spreading in all parts of the country. In each corner of the South, in one room log school houses, this anniversary event is the highlight. It shows that the colored race is not forgetful nor ungrateful to those who have stood up and helped us. Let the world understand what Garrison did for us. Let them see that his suffering and his privations were not in vain. We can do this in no better way than by proving that we are a people worthy of the true right of American citizenship. Although Garrison was misunderstood and unappreciated in his day, he saw further into the future than any other man. Not only did he free the black race, but his words and work freed the white race as well. As we go on working out his ideas we shall have a nation free from prejudice and of sectional hatred. Mr. Fortune was welcomed with affection by the large audience. He said in full: Ladies and Gentlemen : We have met here to celebrate the one hundredth anniversary of the birth of William Lloyd Garrison; we have met here to pay our tribute of love and devotion to a great man who though "he be dead yet does he live." How better to hear the hour his sacrifice day he spent? Did William Lloyd Garrison give his life freely that we, that the whole American people, might have it more abundantly? Did not he buckle on the armor of righteousness in the darkest hours of American slavery; when the National conscience was dead to honor, justice, to Christian charity for black men, and to do battle with the giant, even as David went forth to do battle with Goliath? My friends, it is well that we are gathered here to honor the memory of William Lloyd Garrison. That we are able to do so in this temple of worship of our own, and in this city—where the wild passions of men once swept black men, and white men who sympathized with them, into confusion and mid flames lick up dry timbers. In the city, we are able to gather here as freemen, with equal rights under the laws of the land, with "none to molest us or make us afraid," is due more to William Lloyd Garrison than to any other human agency. He it was whose unselfish devotion, whose inspired eloquence, whose tireless patience lit the righteous, fires which, as they leaped from battlefield to battlefield, consumed to ashes the chains that bound the African slave to a life, of death. He it was who provoked the thunder of Mars that broke the chains of Perseus, which startled all the world, and sobbed itself to whipped and despairing slumber at the feet of Appomattox. Ah, my friends, what a tremendous task was that,—to wake the Nation from its slumber, to provoke the thunders of war, to have that you hoped for spring from the ashes of a thousand battlefields, alive with life and beautiful with freedom—the freedom of the slave linked forever with the Union of the States! Before a crowned with such labor and such room, the great mass of mankind, who devote themselves to selfish purposes, fade away "like a tale that is told—like a song that is sung." It is the chieftest distinction and glory of the human race that, in every period of its life, when great wrongs have hitched themselves upon the body politic—when greed and ambition have "oil-leaned the bounds of reason and of right," there has always come out of the mass of the people in man with the necessary courage and singleness of purpose to fraternize public conscience, to inoke it see the light of darkness, and to breathe into it the consent and the resolution which compel reformation, peaceably it possible, forebely if necessary. Sometimes these men have become martyrts to the public weak; but in every instance their blood has become the seed of the canne for which they died. In the anti-slavery struggle it was that way with the mortarhead of Bilah Leoveng and John Browne. It would have been chat way, with William Lord Garrison if he had not been born. He was a man of the Northern mob charged his footsteps and clamped for his life through many trying years, while he pursued his way the chimpanzee man in the furry he himself had lashed to mad- But, next to the distinction and the glory of producing great men to grapple with great wrongs, men like William Lloyd Garrison, is the disposition manate and to beeyer of such men. We meet them, museums, we meet them in marble, we paint them on canvases, we glorify them in our songs and in our histories, and we meet once a year to keep fresh their memory in the minds of men and to draw lessons wisdom and virtue and patience in lives that they held and this is not done to help in other men the spirit of heroic effort and sacrifice; the heroic soul is not inspired by the visible sign from without but by the invisible sign from within—not by the towering column, glittering page, but by the conviction and the soul and the mind and swells and swells until it gushes forth in words that wither and acts that blast the object of its righteous indignation. This was true in the largest and best sense of William Lloyd Garrison. His was the reformer's temperior, the reformer's devotion, the principle once espoused the reformer's grasp of all theaims of the issues and the forces with which he had to deal; the reformer's optimism, which saw success always just beyond, upon which he was steadily gaining; the reformer's good nature, finite patience, which was at tempera-tion, and positive setbacks, through the darkness and roughness of the times, keeping close always to the main purpose, confident of himself, confident of success, ready at any time to lay down his life for the cause; if the sacrifice were needed, then he that, given time, would move the Rock-ribbed, rock-ribbed, ancient as William Lloyd Garrison was a self-made man in every sense of the word. His school had been that of experience, in which he learned vastly, and measured his strength in the best man. Such a school was that in which Abraham Lincoln, Frederick Douglas, Horace Greeley were educated, so that they became masters of men and arbitrators of the destiny of the Republic. His charity and to many nations which need not go along with poverty, in a small Massachusetts town, William Lloyd Garrison armed himself for the battle of life by mastering all the knowledge he needed which he had to him; and he put himself in charge to service as fast as he mastered it. He was a Puritan in the mastery of his life. At the age of twenty he became the editor of The Newburyport Free Press, in which he says, "this is a time-serving he who attempts to walk uprightly or speak honestly cannot rationally calculate upon speedy wealth or preferment." But what could he be or wealth or preferment? he has create or be create at will? But he could it to make money and peace but to make men free. In 1828 Garrison met Benjamin Lundy, who came on to Boston from Baltimore, and thereafter the who's man's man's man. He espoused the policy of the slave. In 1829 he joined Mr. Lundy at Baltimore and began with him to edit The Genius of Emancipation, to begin in jail for the execution of slavery and slave-owners, and remained in it for forty-nine days, when his fine was paid by Arthur Tappan of New York. He was a reformer, but one good for him to have learned at the titic and place. Benjamin Lunny be lieved in gradual enamination and in fighting the slave power in place where it was. Benjamin Lunny Garrison was constrained to give both these properties based consideration. At any rate he returned to Boston. January 1, 1811, the first number of The Liberator was issued. This was done with greatest difficulties, for no money nor few friends who had any. The Liberator was very unpertinent. There were four pages of it, and four columns to the page. 11 x 91. It did not look from the size of it that the editor would be able to command very much consideration. Special the churches and the community large and the machine the law were all opposed to stirring up of the question of slavery. The sentiment of Boston was almost as hostile to bis ideas as Baltimore had shown itself to be. At motto of the paper was four country is the world. Containment are mankind follows: "I will be as harsh as truth, and as uncompromising as justice. On this subject, I do not wish to think or speak, or write, with moderation. No! Tell a man who on fire to give a man a charm; tell him to open a rescue his wife from the hands of the ravisher; tell the mother to gradually extricate her babe from the fire into which it has fallen—but the not to use moderation in a case the present. I am in no trouble. I will not equivocate—I will not excuse. I will not retreat a single inch—and I will be When a man speaks in that tone of voice; when he speaks as the champion of the down-trodden and the oppressed when he speaks for, he cannot be heard by the cannot be silenced except by voice or legal process. But neither the terrors of infuriated law makers or angry mobs had power to awe or to silence William Lloyd Moore. He would work as a printer fourteen hours a day and live on bread and water and he did it. And when the former made it clear that immediate remancipation was the object of aim, and had stirred up the whole Republic, and espired to have holders, he saw that no agency than The Liberator was necessary to accomplish his purpose, up everywhere, so that after all covered all of the North and Western sections of the Republic, where silence had tickled question of slavery every discussion in the pulpit, in the legislatures of the Congress and in the legislative voice of the dead silence with the lightning of reason, of justice, of humanity, and the thunder following of sulphuric illumination and execution heard in all lands and most frankly to soberness of no reason for it was seen and off that no such convulsion as William Lloyd Garrison had provoked could be reduced to order without the subversion of old creeds, of old Judices, of old institutions. And as it came to pass in the final reckoning. When the mob called to "when the war drums sounded no longer and the battle flags were furled," when peace reigned in the land, when not a slave remained under the flag or in the Constitution, the adoption of the fourth Amendment, Mr. Garrison severed his connection with the anti-slavery society and continued the publication of The poster. Laboratory Ye men and women within the sound of my voice, got ye to your tents! Study the dangerous conflict, from 1829 to 1855 which convulsed this Nation, that ye might be free; that ye might have quality under the laws with all men; that the "door of opportunity" might be opened wide for you as for other men. not as a privation, but as a natural right. And when you have studied well what these blessings that are yours "to have and to hold" cost this Republic in tears and blood and treasure, in war and in peace, you should not forget to build a courage in manhood and womanhood, all that may be achieved by noble endeavor, to the glory of our beloved Republic, "whose Eagle yet shall be greater than Rome's when Rome was free." In that way, and in that way, we justifiably lift the devotion, the life-fellowship of William Lloyd Garrick and those who held up his hand, in war and in peace, that we might be free. WHITES HOLD BIG MEETING. Dr. Conway Speaks on Human Side of the Librarian. The People's Institute commemorated Sunday night at Cooper Union the 100th anniversary of the birth of William Lloyd Garrison. The big, old fashioned auditorium was packed from wall to wall, and outside were hundreds of people that struggled unavailably to force their way through the doors, says The Sun. Robert Erskine was "chairman of the meeting and the speakers were Moncurce D. Conway, the Rev. Dr. John P. Peters of St. Michael's church and Edwin D. Mead of Boston. The People's Institute chorus sang Garrison's favorite hymn, "Christmas," and the meeting wound up with "everybody singing Mrs. Julia Ward Howe's "The Battle Hymn of the Republic." Dr. Conway was a personal friend and confidant of Garrison during the intense days when Garrison was leading the fight against slavery. Dr. Conway is 73 years old. His hair is snow white and falls to his shoulders. His beard, worn long, is very white also. He spoke for an hour. In part he said: Fifty-six years ago I was a boy of 18, living with my father, a large slaveholder, down in Virginia. I wrote about that time an essay to reconcile slavery with the Declaration of Independence. That made me think, with the result that I had no more to do with Southern rights associations, and went to Boston to speak at a flamenco concert (Applause.) I found the diabolical horns, so visible to my Virginia exeges, had turned to a halo. It was on May 5, 1853, that I first met Garrison. It was at a grand banquet in Boston, given to John P. Hale, who had just lost his sent in the United States Senate because of his courage in resisting the aggressions of slavery. The chief representatives of the radical movement which afterward developed the I remember can party now to me. I remember Bartolomeo Storiators Summer and Ilson, Harlingenine, Cassius M. Clay, John Jay, Horace Mann, Palrefey, the historian, and Rubaldo albo, Emerson. I remember Garrison said that night: "Gentlemen, if you have been so fortunate as to find a Union worth-preserving, cling to it with all your souls, not be bound by the laws, not be bound in one State, outlawed in the South for my hatred of slavery, you will pardon me if I am somewhat lacking in loyalty to the existing Union." Garrison one told me that the highest Garrison once told me that the highest compliment he ever received came from the eminent he said: "What! You are William Lloyd Garrison? Why, I always supposed you were a lackk man." One day I was conversing with Emerson about the anti-slavery lenders, and he remarked that Garrison, in his blindness and Emerson, "knows the value of every word he utterts, but Garrison does not seem to think of style or effect." Some one called Garrison "a man of one idea," to which Emerson replied: "It isn't everybody that has one." Garrison was stormy; his ethnicity was impressive, especially in those days of outrage on freedom and of slave hunting when slaves people were uttering oaths, not sham damms, but sinn ones. An orthodox preacher, Parker Pillshire, Democratic party is the G—last party that ever existed. When he said that I remember that everybody felt like getting up and saying "Thank you." There was a genuine feeling that the recording angel would leave that oath till it was blotted out by Democratic years. About that time Garrison enraged people far and wide by publicly burning the United States Constitution at Farmingham Grove. That was so bad that he had Boston court judgment that had just returned Anthony Burns to slavery he held up the Constitution, struck a match and burned it to ashes. Then he said: "Let all the people sry 'Amen.' There was hisses mingled with amnesis, but it was not excited in face, word or gesture. It was the most picturesque thing I ever say. It was Jeremiah the Prophet breaking the earthen bottle, and saying: 'Thus saith the Lord of Hosts; even so will I break these people. His home was beautiful, and his sympathetic wife and children were always outdoting the mobs that tried to make him a martyr. Garrison was a non-resistant. Jeff Davis had shapped him upon one cheek would certify that he had the other rather than have injured Davis. While we gather here a celebration is going on at Gettysburg, not of Garrison, but for the dead. Had 'Garrison's plea been heeded there would have been no cemetery of slaughtered soldiers at Gettysburg or anywhere else. Had the gun fired on Sumter were replied to by a proclamation of freedom from slave carriage and refuge from Canada. Ohio river, every rebel would have been chained to his home, and even then that could not have prevented the end of slavery. Happy was he in his death. He never lived to witness the rise of race hatred and the lynchings and burnings of Negroes in the South, attesting once more the horrors of slavery in the South—clean and noble work. It did not do that—in our so-called War of Independence, which began the work of lynchings and made more than 200,000 citizens seek refuge from violence in Canada and Europe. It also made more and more exceptions to slavery in our Constitution which led to the slaughter of half a million of our best men. SIMMONS BROOKLYN SPEAKER. The Brooklyn celebration of the 100th anniversary of the birth of Garrison was held at the Fleet Memorial church. Among those who took part in the celebration' were Rev. Dr. W. T. Dixon, Rev. P. M. Jacobs and Secretary Chas. H. Bullock, who presided. Rarely has such a representative audience of Afro-American people come together to celebrate any event. The meeting was marked by an enthusiasm of much warmth, and through all the exercises there pervaded a spirit of hero-worship. Rev.F. M. Jacobs, who introduced Roscoe 'Conkling Simmons, who delivered the oration on Garrison, said that the 'spirit of Garrison never dies, for it is a part of the divine-plan of the world. The onation delivered by Mr. Simmons was the feature of the occasion. For over one hour Mr. Simmons poured forth the lesson of the great abolitionist's life, painted picture after picture of the stirring scenes preceding the civil war; analyzed the anti-slavery forces and defined clearly the principles upon which the great war was fought. It is impossible to form a correct idea of the eloquence and power with which he treated the whole anti-slavery struggle from his address to adorn his tale when he left his installation or draw a lesson that he was most effective. He said, in part: "I run in earnest; I will not equivocate—I will not excuse. I will not re-treat a single inch, and I will be healed. Upon this platform, enunciated time when the sun of my life was arrived by the atmosphere thick with diseased sentiment; when men were timorous like children in the dark, and the ational heart was drooping, the influence of gold; the influence of Ameri- cation into the words of the Maker of men into phrases that justified the savagery of slavery, and the public conscience. was sealed against the prostrate Justice; when the republic hung between deepest darkness, and men, and men heard unheardingly the voice of God; when the slave driver's whip made beats of men, and the wail of suckling babies torn from their ear, blooms pierced; when the slave would hold free New England, when it appeared that Slavery would triumph forever over Freedom and this Republic, dedicated to the proposition that all men are created free and would hold free the public influence of slavery's oligarchy; when Hope, aweiry in its watch, seemed read to expire—upon this platform, William Lloyd Gar- rison, a Massachusetts printer, and his opposition to American life, and his abolition, over his life was dedicated to its abolition. From that cold January morning in 1831, when he sounded the bugle that never calls retreat, Garrison continued for thirty and five years, gaining ground, but beaten in his own country. Who does not know the story of the trials and tribulations and tears that met him every hour in the struggle? who rememberes not how he was dragged through the streets of the city, because his views disturbed the trade relations between the East and the South? Thirty years after this occurrence men and women, in honor of his triumph, marched through the cory street made holy by his predecessor, and were not "Cruits him," but "Hosana." The compromisers of the Republic early became alarmed at the sweeping sentiment created by this Massachusetts printer; mollts that murdered abolitionist appointees to the South, that squirmed and wept under his lush a lush more cutting than a thousand bull whips in the hands of slave-drivers, offered various sums of money for his royal head minister; the governor of the Republic denounced him as a villain, simply because he like One who came upon the earth eighteen centuries before, called simmer to repentance, denounced wickedness, sought to establish peace upon an enduring foundation, rued back to men whose souls. The history of the anti-slavery movement from the day the "Liberator" appeared until Lee, as garrison, and the army led a forlorn host, surrendered his tattered and defeated army to Grant at Appomattox, and four millions of souls were freed, is a history of the life and activities of Garrison, through every varying He moved John Brown to strike for liberty. There have been many to cover with obliquity this Harper Ferry episode of Brown; since the fire of liberty had not bestoged of their foul hypocrisy. If Garrison's words moved Brown to precipitate the Civil ar, I place another wreath of immortellies upon his show. If John Brown were to strike the blow that unshucked a nice and strike the chord of liberty; and yet fanaries are soldom physically brave, however disteardful of personal danger they might be. The ember fanned by Garrison grew to lighten the compromisers on the one hand and the slave-holders on the other from the earth. There was one away in the uncivilized West, who read Garrison's appeals to his countrymen. His great heart, unpolluted by the weakness of culture, unrestrained by ambition, unbounded by ambition, unburied by visions of mortal glory—his great heart was touched both by the plight of the slave, and the earnestness of this fanatic of the East. He came forth like the god of the earth and endowed discriminately by auretate for the task to which heaven had indubitably called him. Abraham Lincoln was moved to throw his fortunes against slavery by the convincing appeals of the great emperor, whom he believed as the adversary of Stephen Douglas, the arch-hypocrite of two centuries of American life, who sank to the ground beneath the blows of Lincoln, or whether as President of the Republic he was the proclamation that freed the slave, a proclamation as much the inspiration of Garrison as the handiwork of Lincoln, or whether rehiking the fracced orth for its wayering attitude toward the earth, the proclamation of Garrison, whom he regarded as the Republic's deliverer, a Nation's watchful guard. Garrison toiled for freedom for a decade and more, without the aid of men whose aid should have been tendered to the enemy. The nationalization he founded to directly assist in the struggle was never as faithful to him as it should have been. Time and again it divided over questions frivolous and of no relation to the main-purpose of the competition. It has always been so in struggle, for great principles. Men in search of morally fine fame become present with the idea of greatness, and in their delivery often disturb the matured plans and purpose of men powerful in the right, the wise in the right, and the trivial that there was a band of men and women supporting Garrison, who heard no other voice, followed no other leader, accepted no foreign advice. Throughout all these discussions within his ranks, against all the epithets of the South and the indifference of the North, he stood firm and recognized and recognized the anti-slavery force—stood clear cut against the national sky, like a towering prophet. The hope of all who suffer. When the North had been convinced that he would, not equivocate, would not excuse, would not retreat a single inch and that he had been able to resist his support, rallied through the men who had maligned and abused him, rallied through the pulpit and the press. Singly, ye alone, he had won against a host not before defeated. What can be said of Garrison? Is not his life sufficient? Who can find words in which to pay him tribute? Are not his deeds more eloquent than a thousand orations, more brilliant than many parables. Where in all history is the grander character of the soldier of more courage? the stateman of more sagacity? the agitator of more radicalism? the martyr who can result of more sacricles? the Christion of a more sublime faith? His life is the heritage of the Republic. His humanity to great vision until there shall be no more stars; his character looms in the heavens more brilliant than a diadem; his transcending personality encriures until now the souls of a world of men. It has been of but a few men; to remake country to have their brows quite about with a wreath of imperil's glory, Garrison is civilisation's figure, the new world's offering to the immortal galaxy Freedom's defenders. * * Like him, to mortal eyes. None er has risen, and none er shall and down, in history's page his name is written in the blood that rushed from the sides of a million slaves, beaten and bruised. It shall be forgotten only will the name of the Prince of Peace be forgotten and there shall be no wrongs The lesson of his life? Men are greet by no decree of nature, nor yet at the blinding of human folly. Honor is his who graps duty. Fame is his eth it not. When he bent his bottles must be fought. When he elimination commander, is his who morning song is faith. There was One born in a manner; be became the Teacher of Wine Men, sometimes the hope of the soul. Here are the life and deeds of one born in power and who began his life and His fame began his faith, and he liveth for the hearts of men. Honor, and shame from no condition rise. Act well your part, there all the honor MIGGINSON IN BROOKLYN. Tella How Garrison Just Missed Being Lynched in Boston. Under the auspices of the Brooklyn Institute the one hundredth anniversary of the birth of William Lloyd Garrison, the great Abolitionist, was commemorated Sunday night at Association hall, in a public meeting of which the principal speaker was Colonel Thomas Wentworth Hireinson of Cambridge, Mass., whose early friend and counsellor Garrison was. An audience which nearly filled the hall applauded Colonel Higginson when he entered, escorted by A Augustus Healy, chairman of the institute, board of trustees. In a brief introductory speech presenting authorized William Lloyd Garrison as one of the great heroes of the Nation's history. He said meetings were being held all over the country to commemorate the one hundredth birthday anniversary of the man who can fairly be called the backbone of the anti-slavery movement. In the course of a biographical sketch, speaking of Garrison's boyhood, Colonel Higginson told of the lad's being seen out on the streets on Election Day cell sticks of candy made by his mother, the widow of a sea captain, with seven children left her to support. Garrison was apprenticed to a printer, and when eventually he became an editor he initiated the habit of "setting up" his editorials in type without writing them out at all. When, with a fellow worker in the cause of abolition, he started his paper, The Librator, he had only the skeleton of an outfit for its publication. He was accustomed to sleep on a type table in the office and took his meals there. So little of a stir did the paper make in Boston newspaperdom the speaker said, that when a mayor official wrote to the Mayor, complaining about some of the decree that official sent back word that he had never heard of the publication. Colonel Higginbotham told of the effect of Garrison's paper in inflaming slave holders in the South, of the formation of vigilance committees and the offering of rewards there to prevent its circulation. When George Thompson, an English abolitionist, came to Boston and was scheduled to speak along with Garrison in the cause of abolition, placards were posted offering a reward of $100 for the man who would abduct him and take him to a place designated, where a kettle of hot tar was advertised to be in waiting. On that occasion Garrison narrowly escaped lynching. 'He had withdrawn from the platform at the request of Mayor Lvman and had retired to his office, whether a man followed him. He was dragged to the street, and with a rope about, his neck was about to be hanged when a hurly-butcher, ignorant of the cause of the excitement and fearing, he said, that Garrison might be choked, made his way literally over the heads of the mob, and loosened the rope. It was only with great difficulty that the mayor, sheriff and other officials succeeded in getting the reformer from his perilous position, after which he was thrust into jail. Describing Garrison as seen on the lecture platform, the speaker said he was not especially sympathetic or thrilling as an orator, but that "his reason marched like an army without banners". Garrison, often had recourse to the use of newspaper cuttings, and these he would persist in reading, no matter what evidences of fatigue his audience might give. But his discourses were convincing, and further than that, they fell upon the ears of those who had what Colonel Higginson described as the "comradeship of minorities, a far stronger and more sympathetic comradeship than that of majorities". Turning to the antagonists of the great reformer, Colonel Higginson said that no man ever suffered for the sake of principle more severed-friendships than did Garrison, and no man ever felt more The Real Estate, Deposit & Investor Co.

Nevertheless, Garrison was wont to refer to some phases of the opposition to him as a "spectatian conspiracy" and he would declare that the hostile attitude of former friends was due to envy or jealousy. On the other hand, it was the hostility of the porters that he was arrogant and a despot. Abraham Lincoln placed Garrison first among the influences for abolition. TERRELL ON GARRISON. Lyons, Daney, Dr. Grimke, Miller and Others Washington Speckern. WASHINGTON, D. C., December 11.—The exercises in honor of the Garrison Centenary at Lincoln Congregational Temple, corner of 11th and R streets, last night were attended by a very large audience. An excellent program was arranged for the occasion, including speeches and readings and sayings of Garrison. Justice Robert H. Terrell, presided and in his opening remarks, said in part: The battle for the freedom of the slave in America was one of the grandest moral movements of any time, and one of the greatest reforms the world hag ever known. It has not yet, however, received its proper place in history. The slave has for four centuries impartial estimate in the critical analyses of their conduct and their methods. Much has been said, much will be said, of the character and life of William Lloyd Garrison; and yet there are no words rich enough to say all that: he was, no human praise too great to emphasise the teachings of his life—what he was of lesson." His integrity was such that no temptation could corrupt it, his purposes could be shaken by not dangers. In the panoply of divine justice, in the service of truth and right, lettered by no party vampalage, be contended against foes fierce with bitterness, strong in numbers, powerful in strength and introspect, immaginable and unintelligible with the gold of the slave-holder or the subterfuge of his Northern sympathizers. ith his devotion to his cause and his martyr spirit of liberty.

Dancy, recorder of deeds, delivered addresses extolling the life of Mr. Garrison as a journalist, philanthropist and lover of freedom. The salutatory to the "Liberator," Garrison's famous newspaper, was read by Attorney James A. Cobb; Mr. William H. Cowan gave a biographical sketch of the man, and Miss Susie Quander read selections from his works and speeches. Rev. Sterling N. Brown, pastor of Lushua Temple, read appropriate passages from the Scriptures, and Dr. William A. Roe, secretary of the Congregational Ministerial Relief, closed the meeting with an excellent talk on the anti-slavery workers. The music was rendered by the regular church choir under the leadership of Dr. Franklin. Impressive services were held at the Fifteenth street Presbyterian church, of which Rev. F, J. Grimke is pastor. Special music had been prepared by the choir consisting of a number of instruments and solos. Rev. Mr. Grimke delivered the oration on the life and services of Garrison. After an exhaustive historical resume of the times and conditions in which Garrison lived, Dr. Grimke closed with a few observations on the lessons which his life had taught him. "I am thankful for the teachings of the life he said, "I would that there were more Garrisons to-day to redress the wrongs of a people and demand rights to self. We need a press of our own to not against wrong and oppression." The church was decorated for casion with palms and potted cut flowers.

Bishop Johnson to hear the pastor's eulogy of William Lloyd Garrison. Dr. Johnson extracts from Garrison's speeches and eloquently referred to him as the first anti-slavery agitator, calling by the most remarkable character in Indian history. He paid a glowing salute to Abraham Lincoln and said Mr. Garrison had made John Brown, Abraham Lincoln, Frederick Douglas, Charles Sumner and all the magnificent galaxy of anti-slavery champions a possibility. He touched the world's system's slavery and declared himself a slaveholder in its effects upon the enslaved nation as well. Dr. Johnson praised the patriotism of Mr. Garrison and gave him a high place among the benefactors of the human race, urging the Negroes not to forget his invaluable services to them. He referred to the progress of the Negro to show that Mr. Garrison's efforts were not in Special exercises in honor of William Lloyd Garrison were held last night in the Church of Our Redeemer, on 8th street northwest. Rev. D. E. Wisman, the pastor, gave a brief address upon the words of Garrison. This was followed for an oration by Mr. Louis Monk upon the greatness of Garrison. Mr. J. E. Lawson spoke of Garrison in private work. BONTON'S CELEBRATION. Three Programs Rendered and a Big Parade Held.

December 11.—At the Beth Israel Methodist Episcopal church on Nice Street the pastor, Rev W. Thomas, delivered an address on William Lloyd Garrison. The plaque in at 7:45 o'clock Sunday and was well attended. Rev. Mr. Throemin in speaking of Garrison, said in part. No man delicately toward freeing the slaves both men and speech, simple life, the old William Lloyd Garrison, is now forward for the immediate which he must manipulate of slaves who have been Lincoln possible.

Baptist church Rev. an appropriate ad- Gowns on William Lloyd Garrison, and described the great benefit that the colored people in America have received from his efforts. The service was held at 7:30 o'clock and was fairly well attended. The Garrison memorial service was attended, by a small but attentive and audience at the A. M. E. Zion church on Winter street last evening. Music was rendered by a choir, and addresses were made by two speakers, besides the pastor. Rev. A. McCallum, the pastor, first spoke, giving a few statistics regarding Garrison's life and the good he did the Afro-American people here, and then in 1904 D.W. Lighns of this city, who spoke along the same line as the first speaker. The last one to speak was Rev. J. T. Bunn, a Baptist missionary agent of West Virginia. He gave some very interesting facts about the race problem, and, according to the several, present, delivered one of the ablest addresses that has been ever heard upon this subject at the church. He said that in the South the white people who go there to visit take the exception as the rule and judge all the good Negroes by the bad ones, who, he admitted, were many, but not nearly as numerous as the industrious, hardworking element. He said it was the duty of all conscientious colored people to strive by might and main against this delusion, and that prejudice would continue to exist until they had proved to the white man the real value of the Negro. After his address a short prayer service followed, and the meeting was finally closed by benediction by the pastor. On Monday night a largely attended union Garrison meeting was held at the People's A. M. E. Zion church on Winter street. Governor Utter and Mayor Reynolds were invited as speakers. The white people also held Garrison celebrations at their various churches. At the Calvary Baptist church Dr. Edw. Holyoke preached at the evening service on "Garrison: The Man Who Dared." Rev. John Deans of the North Congregational church on Walling street held up Garrison's life as an example of self-sacrifice. A fine sermon on "Garrison: Prophet and Reformer," was preached Sunday morning by Rev. Charles M. Melden, Ph.D. pastor of the Mathewson street M. E. church. He compared Garrison as a seer to Paul and Isaiah. RICHMOND DIDN'T CELEBRATE. People's Strange Apathy in Events Like Garrison's Birthday. RICHMOND, Va., December 11 —Richmond, usually alive, to everything that makes for race progress and enterprise is singularly indifferent in its observation of those days and events that sounded the death-knell of the institution of slavery. Emancipation day has been forgotten; Lincoln day, Douglass day and the stirring events that led up to secession and the fierce -fire through which the nation went to make a perpetual and indestructible union of indissoluble States have been all forgotten by Afro-American citizens of the once citadel of the Confederacy. This year April 3—Evacuation day—was celebrated with becoming exercises for the first time in many years, but no other day in the three hundred and forty-five which have passed has been observed. Yesterday was Garrison day, and there were no exercises of a public nature held in church or hall, and the centenary of the birth of America's greatest, champion for human rights, liberty, freedom and justice was not observed. Our failure to observe the day inmost of the century upon our proud record of enterprise, pluck and progress—a progress which could never have been attained but for the agitation against the institution of slavery such as was waged by Garrison. NORWICH'S FINE PROGRAM. Walter H. Burr Used to Deliver "The Liberator." Norwich, Conn., December 11.—The William Lloyd Garrison Centennial was observed under the auspices of the R. N. E. Woman's League at the rooms on Union street Sunday at 3 p. m. The following interesting program was given: Doxology; Scripture reading; Psalm 107, 1-16; invocation, Rev. A. W. Adams; Booker T. Washington's call for the Centennial Celebration, Mrs. Burr; essays on Garrison, Juvenile Auxiliary; hymn, "Blest Be the Tie That Binds"; quotations from Garrison's writings and speeches, literary society; The Mission of The Library; My Hattie A. Wood; poem "Jesus Shall Reign" Lippold, Miss Louise K. Voorheen Proclamation of Emancipation and Thirteenth Amendment, Paul V. Robinson; "Battle Hymn of the Republic"; extract from speech to Freedmen at Charleston, 1865, Benj. Briscoe; remarks, by Joseph Howard; and hymn, "God Moves in a Mysterious Way." Mr. Walter H. Burr then gave reminiscences of the old anti-slavery days when as a boy he delivered The Liberator, also The Genius of Universal Emancipation, Benjamin Lundy's "little paper with the big name." After a verse of the "Star-Spangled Banner," Rev. A. W. Adams delivered a very entertaining address on the life-work of Garrison. He especially touched upon the lessons it contains for the young people, and urged them to give due reverence and respect to the memory of all the men and women who gave their time, means, and very lives for the liberty which we now enjoy. Rev. Adams was favored with close attention. Then Miss Idella Scott read, as appropriate to the occasion, Rudyard Kipling's "Recessional." The singing of "America" closed the service. RELICS ON EXHIBITION. Middletown People See Newmanators of Garrison, John Brown and Orborn. Middletown, Conn., December 12.

D., a professor at Westyan University. His father was an old-time Massachusetts Abolitionist and voted for James G. Birney. The address was interesting and instructive. Two bound volumes of the "Massachusetts Abolition" were on exhibition; also a steel engraving of William Lloyd Garrison, made in 1834, inclosed in an old-fashioned 6 x 9 gilt frame; a copy of Lydia M. Child's "Appeal" (1833); a copy of Bourne's "Picture of Slavery," published in Middletown in 1834; "Sime Resolutions of the Anti-Slavery Amendment by Rev. Samuel J.

Dr. Wheatland a Newport Spooner. Naworth, R. I., December 11—A Garrison memorial meeting was held at the Union Congregational church Sunday. Rev. Gunner was chairman and spoke of Garrison's life and manhood. Mr. H. J. Tabbort read a polished paper on "Fred. Douglass." Rev. Jeter told of a visit he made to Mr. Garrison. Rev Gunner then read the Garrison pledge of the Nigraga movement. Dr. Marcus F. Wheatland spoke, and among other things said: "The Negro is too fond of looking back, and doing what his father did. He must live up to the mark and look into the future." Two Mortgages in New Haven NEW HAVEN, December 11.—Bethel A. M. E. church on Sperry street, of which Rev. William Lynch is pastor, on account of the reenactment of the church held its William Lloyd Garrison Centenary celebration in the Gothic street branch, Y; M. C. A., rooms Sunday evening. A large and intelligent congregation was present and enjoyed an excellent program, Mr. Robert H. Bonner read a paper on "The Spirit of Garrison," which was impassioned and logical and was received with the most flattering evidences of approval. Zion A. M. E. church on Foot street, Rev. J. W. Davis pastor, also celebrated Garrison's birthday, Rev. Davis and Presiding Elder E. George Biddle were the speakers. The enthusiasm of the day was heightened by the fact that it was also the eighty-fifth anniversary of the church. Youkern Rendera Special Programme YONKERS, December 13. The centenary birthday of William Lloyd Garrison was celebrated Sunday by the M. E. Zion church lycum and by the Progressive club of the Messiah Baptist church with elaborate programs, consisting of addresses, papers, solos and duets. On Saturday afternoon Garrison was the subject of a special program at the regular meeting of the Girls' Friendly club. Addreses Delivered in Troy TROY, December 11.—Yesterday evening Garrison day was celebrated at the Liberty-street Presbyterian church. Mrs. John Price, Mr. Ethelbel Evans and others delivered addresses. Simmons at Englewood Tee. ENGLYDEW, December 11.—The centennial anniversary of the birth of William Lloyd Garrison was celebrated last Sunday evening at the chapel with appropriate exercises. A duet was sung in a very pleasing style by the Misses Staples. Mr. Roscoe C. Simmons of The Colord American Magazine was the orator of the occasion. His address was a most thoughtful and eloquent effort, and it is doubtful if he rendered any great service at the Brooklyn demonstration than he rendered to the people of this little town. HACKENSACK'S CELEBRATION. HACKENSACK, December 11.—The Garrison Centenary was observed at the A. M. E. Zion church on Sunday last. Papers bearing on his life and work were read by Mr. I. R. Dillard, Mr. Jacob Purnell, Mrs. L. R. Lorter, Mrs. M. J. Batcheler and Miss Eva A. Griffith. Addresses were made by Revs. J. E. Morrow and G. C. Holland. The pastor. Rev. W. H. Batcheler, was master of ceremonies. Fleinfeld's Meeting: PLAINFIELD, N. J. December 11.—Services in memory of Garrison were held yesterday in Mt. Olive church under the direction of the B. Y. P.

Dr. Gould, pastor of the church, culigored the principles of Garrison as set forth by Mr. Dodson and Miss Nichols, and moved a rising vote of thanks to the participants in the program. ENDOWMENT SYSTEM URGED. Import Departure Likely Ampag Good Sometimes. NEWARK, December 11.—Grand lodge No. 4 of Good Samaritans has its twenty-fourth semi-annual' session on Wednesday at Chester Row hall. R. W. G. Chief W. H. Peterson presided. 'It being his first time to act since its installation in June last. He made some very valuable recommendations in his first report, among which was the adoption of the endowment system, which does not now exist in any of the five grand lodges in the North, but is in vogue in almost all of the secret societies among us in this country. This recommendation being highly approved, was referred to a committee for formulation and construction, and to report at the next annual session. An interesting report was made by the National delegates who attended the National grand session in August last at Providence. The session closed to meet at Long Branch, the first Wednesday in June, 1908. POPOOR MRS. ALICE W. WILLE. Bry Fundamental of Concord Church Brooklyn—Speeches by Rev. Mrs. Ramphigh and Bliss Roberta Dumbar —Bry. Willey's Response Urges Res- vivality of Young Men as Well as Young Women. On Thursday evening of last week a testimonial was given Mrs. Alice Wiley by the several organizations of the Concord church of Brooklyn in honor of her election in Boston, Mass., last August to the presidency of the Northeastern Federation of Women's Clubs. The idea of this affair originated in the mind of Mrs. Mary J. Zeno, president of the Concord Women's Christian Temperance Union. The Dorcas Home Missionary Society of the church, of which Mrs. Wiley is and has been president for the past ten years, had the church handsomely decorated with American flags and cut flowers. Prof. J. F. R. Wilson, the new organist, presided at the organ. the audience being seated, the ushers, followed by the committee of arrangements, the flower girls and the guest of honor, accompanied by Dr. W. T. Dixon proceeded slowly up the south aisle which was strew with roses, to the platform. The committee consisted of the following ladies: Miss Christina Goode, Mrs. Mary S. Gale, Mrs. Lottie A. Bell, Mrs. Minnie Bailey and Mrs. ary J. Zeno, who was absent on account of the death of her aunt, rs. Mary A. Stevenson. - Dr. Dixon was advisor to the committee. The ushers were Misses Alice T. Cook, Dora Walker, Mary J. Hayes, Eliza B. Tyler, Irene Henry, Lulu Moore, Sarah Simmons and Lulu Hayes, and the chorister was P. A. Myers. The organizations of the church represented were: Doreas Hom Missionary Society, B. Tyler, Relief, C. T. U., Easter Bell, Pastor's Relief, and Concord Mortgage Relief Club. Miss Christina Goode presided. Part I of the program was as follows: Organ voluntary, Prof J. F. R. Wilson; doxology, by the audience; selection by the church choir; and prayer, Mrs. Mary Gordon. The first speaker was the Rev. Mrs. Florence Randolph of Jersey City, who is a gifted speaker with a fine flow of language and good delivery. Mrs. Randolph spoke without notes and electrified her hearers with her masterly presentation of woman's work. She spoke of the high appreciation the Northwestern Federation has of Mrs. Wiley. Mrs. Randolph attracted considerable attention a year or so ago in an address on "Heredity" before the Federation, and whenever she is billed to speak, she never lacks an audience. Another selection by the choir brought the popular Miss Roberta J. Dunbar to the front. Miss Dunbar served the Federation as president for two successive years and declined a third nomination. She is a close friend of Mrs. Wiley, who she says greatly encouraged her in the heavy burdens of office during her administration. She is a woman of large experience and fine literary attainments, and is the Federation's organizer for 1905-6. She came over from Providence, R. I., by special invitation to attend and speak at the exercises and was the guest of Mrs. Dunbar during her stay in the city. Miss Dunbar said: "Not long ago I read an interview in *The Boston Home Mission Echoes* between the editor and a very distinguished American; in which the latter said the Negro would stop talking about his situation, and would wrong. There is too much talk for the good of either white or black. Let the problem alone for a while and give the Negro a chance to work out his own salvation and destiny." But, said the designer of the department, the desire of the colored people to dispense discusse is especially active at the present time. "And so it is; we find it in our weekly newspapers, in our monthly magazines and hear it from the pulpit. It does not matter how much we dislikes the Negro, but we present time to discuss this vowed After all, no one has a better right to discuss it than we. For I firmly believe that we are to be an important factor in its solution. We can be just what we want to see it if we are all builders of character, whether we or bad. There is no power to stop you, either in prophecy or criticism. "Above all, we have found that where wild oats are sown, there must be a reaping time some day. Give us clean, moral boys and men, and we will train a womanhood of, which you will not, be ashamed. Travelling as you do from city to city in the Northeast, I observe many of the things I see and hear. Listen to a group of girls in conversation and you will be surprised at the slang they use. Another evil I also observe among our young, and that is extravagance in dress, going beyond their means—stop it. And yet another strange thing I see in our girls. It really seems that the larger part of their intelligence is in their heels. Dancing and whist seem to be their highest ambition. Our libraries and institutions of learning are abuned by them just as if they were pest houses instead of foundations of knowledge from which they may drink, not shrink from the duty which is plainly theirs in this uplifting work among us. If we fall here and there, so much is lost to the race.

Now gather all your vigor, press forward in the court, and be by your motto, For God and for the right. Following Miss Dunbar's address was another anthem by the choir. Then came tokens of esteem by the W. U. and from the ushers by Miss Lulu Moore. The choir then sang again. Dr. Dixon, on behalf of the several organizations in Concord, read the following set of resolutions which were embossed and put in a handsome gilt frame: "HONOR TO WHOM HONOR IS DUE." In the order of Divine Providence, our much-beloved and highly-esteemed president of the Dorsus Home Missionary Society of the "Concord Baptist church of the city of Burlington, has been unanimously presided upon by the Northernsteen Federation of Women's Clubs; therefore, be it "Resolved, That we, the members of the several organizations of the Concord Baptist church of Christ of the borough of Brooklyn, will do so, do so, do so, our great satisfaction, of the choice of the said Mrs. Alice W. Wiley as president of said Federation, and we do hereby pledge our heartiest support and prayers for her successful administration." A friend of the several organizations, CHARTOUSE A. BELL, MARY J. ZENO, LOTTE HENDERSON, DORA WALKER, MARY S. GALE and WILLIAM T. DIXON, Committee on Resolutions." "Mrs. Wiley's response was as follows: "It is hardly necessary for me to assure you that I am deeply sensible of the honor you show me by your presence here to night. And yet, as highly as I am aware of your confidence in me, and esteem for what I have so feebly done, words fail me at this time to do justice to the thoughts which crowd my memory for deliverance. "I have been trying to think what I have done to cause you to feel like stopping me here to give applause. I know very well that a long time ago, I made a mistake in my dress, and I wear out and not rust out, for the cause of Christ, the good of humanity and my race in particular. "I am afraid that you have called me to the center of the stage too soon. I am right in the midst of my work, in the thickest of the fight to stand by those who are our worthy institutions, the builders of homes and families and the builders of character. A person who fails to give support to those who are working and contending for the maintenance of the situation they may represent needs to be pitiless. And it is at this point where too many of us fail. As a member of the Northernwestern Federation of Women's Clubs, this dear church, Sunday school, and what not. I desire a wise and not—I desire a wise and not—on the right side; that's the side on which God is. If this magnificent outburst of public favor is in recognition of any service which I have rendered in any way, I glory belongs to who gave the strength, wisdom and the means of accomplishment. May the good be yours. If I were a great soldier-general and had been victorious on countless battlefields, and this honor came to me, I might come home amidst the plumage of a character and had written many books which had been translated into the languages of the world, posterity might rise up in the far-off years to come and repeat my theatre. If I were a great philosopher, I would have written for the relief of the widow and orphan, the afflicted and neglected, my name might be carved in marble that the world might be read my deeds. But alas! I am only an humble disciple of Him who went about doing what I did, and I only give thanks to you for the high esteem in which you hold me for my works ake. "To my out-of-town friends and especially this noble little Dunbar, our everfaithful ex-president, I thank you. To my Brooklyn friends who have so loyalty stood by both the Federation and me, I say with double emphasis, God bless you." The coronation hymn was sung and then Rev. Dixon closed the meeting by pronouncing the benediction. J. Francis Robinson Resigns. Norwich, Conn., December 11—Last Saturday evening. Miss Ella P. King entertained at tea in honor of the Missen Cathalena and Corine Rovetto of Pawtucket, R. F. The mot result of the Thanksgiving fair at Mt. Calvary Baptist church was over $40.

Newport, December 12.—Some of our business men, among whom are Mr. W. F. Robinson, Mr. H. J. Talbort, Dr. M. A. Van Horn and Dr. W. H. Mathews, are making extensive preparations for a memorial meeting to be held Sunday, December 21, in honor of the Hon. Goo. T. Downing. It is the desire of these gentlemen to have some speaker from out of the city. At the Jackson Villa on Sunday Mrs. Levi Jackson and Miss Edith Mercer entertained at dinner Miss Georgen Ridway of Boston. Mr. Blake, Mrs. Smith and daughter spent a few days in Boston. Mr. P. F. Wheeler went to Boston to attend the Garrison meeting. Newport was visited Saturday by a snow storm with rain, which caused it to be very bad Sunday, so that the churches were not very well attended. This cold snap seemed to scare those who had not gone South for the winter, and they are fast leaving us. Some went down Sunday night from here, and others went from off the island by way of the new line from Bristol. Mrs. Levi Jackson and Miss Edith Mercer made a flying trip to Providence one day this week. Mr. Harry Greene of Clayville, Va., was in this city Friday as the guest of Dr. W. H. Mathews. Mr. Greene is well known here, he having been here some seasons past at the Cliffs hotel. Mr. and Mrs. Herbert L. Williams entertained a large number of friends at their house-warming on Thanksgiving evening, November 30th, at their residence, 2 Whiterell avenue, and received quite a number of pretty presents. Among them were a large punch bowl and 1 dozen glasses from Mr. and Mrs. Edward Davis and Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Woods together, a large beautiful picture from Mr. and Mrs. David Crockett; half dozen dozen lilies, Miss Maria Cooper; half dozen china plates, Mrs. Fannie Woodyear; beautiful bed spread, Miss Clara Derrickson; pretty jardiniere, Miss Nellie Jones; Battenburg table cover, Mrs. John H.

Among some of the distinguished guests of the evening were Dr. Thomas Coates of Philadelphia and Mrs. Jones and Mrs. Coates of Jamestown, R. L. WHITE PLAINS FAIR. Bethel Church Assisted by Artists From Other Churches WHITE PLAINS, December 12.—The fair given by the ladies of Bethel Baptist church for the benefit of the church was a great success.

Wilkerson. PUBLISHED by Fowler & Pemberton at 6 Order Street, in the Borough of Manhattan, New York. The Caribbean Celebration We gladly give up a considerable portion of our space this week to accounts of the various Garrison meetings held in New York and vicinity by both whites and Afro-Americans. When we consider how small a section of the United States our reports, voluminous as they are were able to cover, we get an idea of the magnitude of the Garrison celebration. The obvious lesson to Afro-Americans which this celebration teaches—a lesson which most of our speakers concurred in emphasizing—is that it is up to us to justify and prove ourselves worthy of the labors and sacrifices of William Lloyd Garrison and his associates. We must, of course, never cease our agitation for the rights which belong to us, for in this world people rarely get even what they deserve without insisting strenuously upon it; but we must with just as much earnestness labor to improve our condition, financially, intellectually and morally. Without such foundation all the rights in the world could profit us little. The formal Garrison celebration is past. Let us, however, make it perpetual in our hearts and strengthen ourselves when we are discouraged by remembering that in all things we must act worthily of the faith which Garrison reposed in us. Judge Terrell's Rampointment. The act of the Senate reducing the number of justices of the peace for the District of Columbia from ten to six was of interest to Afro-Americans, as it jeopardized the positions of two of their number. Judges Robert H. Terrell and E. M. Hewlett. Four of the ten justices must be disappointed; why should not two of these be the two Afro-American ornaments of the bench? This line of least resistance out of the difficulty would have been joyfully and gratefully followed by many a man; but President Roosevelt, to his great credit, took a different course. Four justicees had to fail of renomination. Of these three he made white men, and only one an Afro-American. Judge Terrell, of course, by his acts has fully vindicated his reappointment. Within the last few months particularly he has displayed courage and rectitude of principles in daring, for the good of the race, to utter and stand by opinions on the domestic problem which rendered him in many quarters impopular. He will continue to honor the race as an upright judge in the District of Columbia which earned him the endorsement of the bench and bar of Washington. Afro-Americans and Fiction Writers. Mr. Charles W. Chesnutt, the novelist, of Cleveland, was in New York to attend the dinner to Mark Twain last week, the great humorist having reached his seventieth birthday and his literary friends and co-workers having determined to celebrate it in proper fashion. But none of us had thought that Mark Twain was so old as that, because we had not thought about it at all, the popular feeling about it being that Mark Twain was born young and would always be young, even when he dies, if he should. Mr. Chesnutt has a new novel out. He should be encouraged in his literary work, as it ranks among the best of its kind issued from the American press. In "The House Behind the Cedars," "The Marrow of Tradition" and "The Colonel's Dream," Mr. Chesnutt has made a presentation of the race question, with which all intelligent Afro-Americans should be familiar. This is particularly true of "The Marrow of Tradition," in which the villainies of the Wilmington, N. C., riot and revolution are laid bare, under the thinnest forms of fiction, in the most graphic and thrilling manner. Indeed, the work cleaves so close to fact as to lose somewhat a; a work of fiction. Now, how many Afro-American are familiar with Mr. Chesnutt's novels and short stories? That is an interesting question, because upon the sale of an author's works depends the confidence of his publisher in him as an investment and upon his ability to realize enough from his work to live comfortably. We venture to say that if Mr. Chesnutt depended upon Afro-American readers of his work for a living the living would be and will have been of the leanest and humgriest, sort. Take the work of Israel Zanewill—think you that it is not familiar to the intelligent Hebrews of Europe and America, as well as to intelligent people of other races? Take the best known and fairest Southern white writer, Joel Chandler Harris-think you that intelligent white Southerners generally are unfamiliar with his work? Not a bit of it; and he draws upon the other people of the country as well. Now, we must have writers of our own, not necessarily to write for us, but of us to present our side in a fair and pleasing way to the readers who are the thinkers, of the country, to offset the influence of avowed enemies of the race in the same field; who are constantly seeking "to show the Negro his place," and "to keep the Negro in his place," and that "The Negro is a beast," and all the rest of it, which the people of the country read and come finally to believe in, provided the other side of the picture be not shown and in such fashion that they can readily see it and get at it—through popular publishers of books and magazines. Now popular publishers of books and magazines are not philanthropists; they are business people from the jump. Literary style and technique of the best they must have in the author, of course; these are but the usual tools of the literary trade; but they must have more. If the people do not buy an author's books, and they do not care who the people are and seldom know, they do not persist in publishing his works. They cut out him and his works. They do it purely as a matter of business. If, in the face of this condition, the author insists upon writing, to get before the readers of the country, he has to foot the cost of publication. This is out of the question, as most authors are born poor and few die rich. Now, what is written here is not intended to convey the idea that Mr. Chesnutt's books, and those of other Afro-American authors, have not large popularity and sale; we do not know anything about that; but we wish to stimulate in our patrons the idea that they must buy and read generally the work of our capable writers in order to encourage their publishers to place high value on their work and to call upon them for more and more of it. Make a market, make a demand, for such work, and the publishers will meet it. That is what they are in the business for. And we shall have more writers when it is known that there is a demand for their work. Mr. Andrew Carnegie. In many respects Mr. Andrew Carnegie is "the grand old man of the Republic;" not because he is fabulously wealthy—the country is well stocked with rich men—but because he is very wise, very human and humane and patriotic in the highest and noblest sense. A Scotchman by birth, he came to the United States in his youth and grew up with and in the steel industry. He made a great fortune by his sagacity, industry and thrift—by taking legitimate advantage of all "the tricks of the trade,"—and he helped many other men to make handsome fortunes. When he had made all the money he thought he ought to make he got out of "the game," so that others could have a chance, and began to dispose of vast sums for the promotion of worthy public causes. His contributions for the establishment and endowment of libraries, and for the advancement of education—industrial, technical and higher—would equal in value the fabled treasure of "King Solomon's Mines," as Rider Haggard has disclosed it to our view; but all of this but supplements the catholicity of his views upon all subjects affecting the human race, his freedom from race prejudice as such and the good nature which he carries into all that he says, either spoken or written; for he is a cheerful man, upon whom old age sits but lightly, and for whom the future appears to have no terrors. Because of all this, and more that need not be said here, Mr. Andrew Carnegie is one of the most valuable citizens of the United States and of the world. Indeed, he is known and esteemed as well in Europe as in the United States." Young Afro-Americans can study with great advantage the career of Andrew Carnegie, and men like him who have risen from the ranks to the highest positions in the estimation of thoughtful mankind. Perhaps the fact that fourteen members of the Isthmian Canal Commission are Southerners, against twenty-four Northern members, accounts partly for the springing up of race prejudice in the Canal Zone. Senator Gorman was elected without opposition last Friday to be chairman of the Democratic caucus of the Senate. It is said that this election was merely ticular, leaving the real leadership to Senator Kailey. There is little to choose between the "grey iniquity" of Maryland and the ex-Ku-Klux Klumman of Mississippi. Rehearsals have already begun at the Liberty theatre for the New York presentation of "Thomas Dixon, Jr.'s "The Clanmanman." This play has been repudiated by the Southern press and pulpit, by men who know how false it is to the facts of history. We may say that the play seems to have done little harm in the South. It may do more in the North, where people are not so well versed in the events of Reconstruction. Carnegie on Amalgamation Somebody said something about purity of blood. It is not purity of blood you want, for it in the mingling of the different bloods that makes the American. If possible, I want to give the readers of The Outlook an idea of the progress of the Negro race in a single county in one of the Southern States. For this purpose I select Gloucester county, Virginia. I take this one for the reason that I had the privilege of visiting it a number of years ago, just about the time when interest in the education of the colored people was beginning to be aroused, and for the further reason that this is one of the counties in Virginia and the South that has been longest under the influence of graduates of the Hampton Institute, as well as men and women trained in other centers of education. I have also drawn very heavily upon an investigation recently made by Mr. W, T. B. Williams, one of the agents of the General Education Board. Gloucester county is in 'the tide-water Virginia. According to the census of 1890, Gloucester county contained a total population of 12,823, a little over one-half being colored, and both sets of schools are in session from five and a half to six months, and the pay of the two sets of teachers is about the same. The majority of the colored teachers in this county were trained at Hampton, and have been teaching in this county for a number of years. For the most part, the teacher of Gloucester county are not mostly superior, but what they lack in methods of teaching and mental alertness is more than made up by the moral earnestness of the teachers are natives of the county, and, what is more important, most of them own property in the county. Now, what is the economic or material result in one county where the Negro has been given a reasonable chance to make progress? I say "reasonable" because it must be kept in mind that the great body of white people in America, with whom the Negro is constantly compared, have schools that are in session from eight to nine months in the year. According to the public records, the total assessed value of the land in Gloucester county is $664,132.23... Of the total value of the land, the colored people own $87,933.55. The buildings in the county have an assessed valuation of $466,127.03. The colored pay taxes upon $79,857. The amount To state it different: the Negroes of Gloucester county, beginning about forty years in poverty, have reached the point where they now own and pay taxes upon one-sixth of the real estate in this county. This property is very largely in the shape of small farms, varying in size from ten to one-hundred and fifty acres. A large proportion of the farms contain about ten acres. Cultivating their own farms is not the only occupation of these people. A large proportion of the laborers upon the farms owned by white people are Negroes, and many of them are engaged in the oyster and fishing industries during a portion of the year. It is interesting to note the influence of this material growth upon the homes of the people. It is stated upon good authority, that about twenty-five years ago at least three fourths of the colored people lived in one-roomed cabins. Let a single illustration tell the story of the growth. In a school where there were thirty pupils ten testified that they lived in houses containing six rooms, and only one said that he lived in a house containing but a single room. I have always believed that in proportion as the industrial, not omitting the intellectual, condition of my race was improved, in 'the same degree would their moral and religious life improve. Some years ago, before the home life and economic condition of the people had improved, bastardy was common. In 1902 there were only eight cases of bastardy reported in the whole county, and two of these were among the white population. During the year 1904 there was only one case of bastardy within a radius of ten miles of the court-house. Another gratifying evidence of progress is shown by the fact that there is little evidence of immoral relations existing between the race. In the whole county, during the year 1904, about twenty arrests after the work of education had gotten under way, there were only thirty arrests for misdemeanors; of these sixteen were white, fourteen colored. In 1904 there were fifteen such arrests—fourteen white and one colored. In 1904 there were but seven arrests for felonies; of these two were white and five, were colored. Throughout Gloucester county the Negro teachers and ministers work in close cooperation. For the most part, where a school is located the church is not far away. The ministers and churches help forward the work of education in many ways. There is a high school in the county that is almost wholly supported by the people through gifts from the churches. If one point at least the colored people in Gloucester county have set an example for the rest of the religious world that ought to receive attention. It is in this regard: there is only one religious denomination in all of this county, and that is the Baptist. No over-multiplying, no overlapping, no denominational wrangling and wasting of money and energy. One other point: a close examination shows that friendly and cordial relations exist between the white and black races; that the growth of both races in the matter of education and property does not increase racial friction. For these goodly results I have spoken of the influence of the teachers, ministers, etc. Let me mention one other, perhaps the most potent single influence—that of Thomas H. Walker, a successful Neeson lawyer and farmer, whose whole life is freely given in the elevation of his people. When I taught the first night school at Hampton Institute, Walker was a member of it, working ten hours at the sawmill during the day and studying books for two hours at night. I have singled out Gloucester county for these facts in order to show what the race can accomplish under reasonably good conditions. In the great majority of counties in the South the conditions as to education, economic life, and morality are very, very far below Gloucester county, but what has been done in this county can be enqueled or surpassed in the near future if all of us, North and South, Black and white, will do our whole duty. Washington should be hiked. From the Brooklyn Eagle. Andrew Carnegie, contributed good name, as well as his medal yearly $10,000, to the Hampton meeting yesterday. He pointed out that this country could not gain without the Negroes and em- barked the point by asking what the negroes supposed the British Govern- ment would give for our $9,000,000 blacks to develop South Africa. Then he said that our home mission to this unde- veloped race was far more important than all our foreign missions. The problem of the development of the Negro, Mr. Carnegie pointed out, was like that of the development of any other race; it is only his environment that is different. He declared that the Scotch treated all the education they could get and that the Negroes were in precisely the same case. That is the importance of Hampton Institute and its work. Hampton educated Booker Washington and sent him a Moses to his own people and has sent him hundreds more of Negro teachers to help lift the race up to useful men. This past year it turned away five-times as many students as it could accept because it had no room for them. A few years ago we used to hear much talk about the degeneration of the Negroes, and there is no question that the first generation that grew up in freedom were less industrious, less self-controlled, less useful and more dangerous than the race was as slaves. But already that talk is subsiding and we hear instead of the multiplying instances of Negroes who rise to positions of importance and trust in their own communities. It was Hampton, and in its wake Tuskegee, which checked this downward tendency and started the Negro race on its long climb up hill. Every dollar given to either institution is an incentive that the progress upward will be faster. Both are based on the idea of developing capacity instead of demanding theoretical rights. Rights never are permanently denied to the capable man or the capable race. The establishment of a high average of capacity among Negroes will bring the solution of the Negro question. The possibility of capacity has been proved in so many cases for that question ever to be argued seriously again, as it was for a generation after the war. The only question is of the ratio of development. The more students at Hampton and Tuskegee, the larger that ratio will be. The number of students is limited only by the amount of money sent to the two institutions. The deduction is clear. ORATORY OF MR. SIMMONS. And it Beautiful— Apathy of Wm. Lloyd Garrison Post. To the Editor of THE New York Acr: As Sunday, December 10, was the hundredth anniversary of the birth of William Lloyd Garrison, it was doubtless the unanimous decision of the William Lloyd Garrison post, G. A. R., to be present in a body at Fleet street Memorial church to add dignity and importance to the Garrison meeting held under the auspices of the Y. M. C. A. and addressed by the brilliant orator, Mr. Roscoe Conkling Simmons. We entered the church at 4 p. m., to find William Lloyd Garrison post represented by one individual sitting bolt upright in the front pew apparently endeavoring to make amends for the slothfulness of his comrades by looking as important as possible. But this lone picket was not destined alone to hold up the dignity of the Garrison post, for while Rev. F. M. Jacobs was introducing the distinguished speaker of the day, up the aisle strode another comrade, sashed with crimson, with glittering sword dangling at his side, to reinforce the front line. But so long and tedious had been the weary marchings and counter marchings of this veteran since the fall of Richmond to allow a sleep before the offator arose, address him, sound and well did he sleep that it was only the vigorous kick dealt him by a third comrade, squeezing past him to get on the firing line, that aroused him from his repose to give momentary heed to Mr. Simmons' beautiful address. It seemed sacrilegious to get drowsy while listening to such matchless oratory, Mr. Simmons gave us Garrison, the master mind in the anti-slavery movement; Garrison, the maker of Lincoln, of Douglass, of Phillips; Garrison, who attuned the lure of the poet Whittier to that plaintive music which did so much towards awakening the conscience of the American people to the horrors of slavery. We saw again the surging of the wild, tameless mob on Boston Common in its frantic efforts to slay the champion of freedom; heard the thunderings of the storm which washed away the Nation's sin. So enthused were we over the subject that we journeyed that evening to Association Hall, where, under the auspices of the Brooklyn Institute of Arts and Sciences, we listened to an address by Col. Thomas Wentworth, Higginson, of Cambridge, Mass., more interesting because he was in active life at the time of the great anti-slavery struggle, and personally acquainted with Garrison and could release reminiscences of personal chats with Phillips, Quincy, Clark, Philips, Channing, Foster, Goodell, Douglass and others of that noble hand of Literators.

Fine and delicate parasitology may please the ear; but the maculature truths are utterly divorced, from effeminate words, and cannot be united without begetting a dwarfish progeny. In the name of Jesus of Nazareth, who suffered himself to be unresistingly nailed to the cross, so welcoming protest against any of his professed followers resorting to carnal weapons under any pretext or in any extremity whatever. It is the best investment for the soul's welfare possible, to take hold of something which is righteous but unpopular. Righteous, but unpopular, for men may get hold of an unpopular cause which deserves to be unpopular and is not righteous. It is a fact, cognizable by the whole earth, that men always behave in the presence of women better than when women are absent, as I presume the women behave a great deal better in the presence of men than when the men are absent. A political contest differs essentially from one that is moral. In the latter, one may chase a thousand, and two out ten thousand to flight. In the former, profitability and virtue, good and evil, right and wrong meet on equal terms. Success depends wholly on numerical superiority. Whatever holds to an opinion or sentiment which he is not pleased to see dealt with boldly and searchingly, gives evidence that he is conscious that it will not bear such treatment, or that he has taken in upon trust, usage, parental, educational, traditional authority and not upon his own clear-wrought, unbiased convictions. Moral influence, when in vigorous exercise, is irresistible. It has an immortal essence. It can no more be trod out of existence by the iron foot of time or by the ponderou march of iniquity, than matter can be annihilated. It may disappear for a time; but it lives in some shape or other, in some place or other, and will rise with renovated strength. Is there one man in the United States—in the whole world—who can honestly and truly affirm, before God, that by becoming a politician he has improved his manners or morals, his head or his heart, or has elevated, the tone of his piety, or felt new emotions of spiritual life? Are there not thousands of good men who have a far different confession to make? The natural rights of one human being are those of every other, in all cases equally sacred and inalienable; hence the boasted "Rights of Man," about which we hear so much, are simply the "Rights of Woman," of which we hear so little; or, in other words, they are the Rights of Humanity, neither affected nor dependent upon, sex or condition. Long before the advent of Christ, it was from the lips of Confucius came that Golden Rule which we are taught in the Gospel to follow as the rule of life in all our dealings with our fellowmen, and which, carried into practice, will insure peace, happiness and prosperity not only to the dwellers of the Pacific Coast, but to all peoples on the face of the whole earth. Suffrage is a right primarily given—by whom? Where did Hancock and Adams, Washington and Jefferson, Revolutionary Federalists and Republicans, Dr. Bushnell and the opposers of woman suffrage generally, get their right to vote? Who gave them authority to choose their own rulers? Women claim no other title to it than men assert for themselves; and that claim is as valid in the one case as it is in the other. I conceive that the first thing to be done by the women of this country is to demand their political enfranchisement. Among the "self-evident truths" announced in the Declaration of Independence is this: "All government derives its just power from the consent of the governed." Trusting by this rule, the existing government is one-half of the population is disfranchised on account of sex; three millions are dehumanized on account of complexion. Where the cherished one who has been snatched from us is, what is his situation, or what his employment, I know not, of course, and it gives me no anxiety whatever. Until I join him, at least, my responsibility to him as his guardian and protector has ceased; he does not need my aid, he cannot be benefited by my counsel. That he will still be kindly cared for by him. Who numbers the very hairs of our heads, and without whose notice a snarrow cannot fall to the ground; that he is still living, having thrown aside his mortal drapery, and occupying a higher, sphere of existence—I do not entertain a doubt. War is as capable of moral analysis as slavery, intemperance, licentiousness, or idolatry. It is not an abstraction, which admits of doubt or uncertainty, but as tangible as bombs, cannon, mangled corpses, smouldering ruins, desolated towns and villages, rivers of blood. It is substantially the same in all ages, and cannot change its moral features. To trace it in all its ramifications is not a difficult matter. In fact, nothing is more terribly distinct than its career; it leaves its impress on everything it touches, whether physical, mental or moral. We register our testimony, not only against all wars, whether offensive or defensive, but all preparations for war; against every naval ship, every arsenal, every fortification; against the militia system and a standing army; against all military chieftains and soldiers; against all monuments commemorative of victory over a fallen foe, all trophies won in battle, all celebrations in honor of military or naval exploits; against all appropriations for the defense of a nation by force and arms, on the part of any legislative body; against every edict of government requiring of its subjects military service. Hence we deem it unlawful to bear arms, or to hold a military office. ROCHESTER, December 21.—Last night the A. M. E. Zion church was crowded to its capacity at the celebration of the 100th anniversary of the birth of William Lloyd Garrison, under the auspices of the J. C. Price Literary Union, Miss Susan B. Anthony was the chief speaker. The church was more beautifully decorated than ever before. The wall back of the pulpit was draped with two large American flags. On the tight hung a large picture of Abraham Lincoln and on the left one of the best pictures of Frederick Douglass. In the center between the peaceful folds of the national flags hung the picture of William Lloyd Garrison, over which was a large laurel wreath. On a table in front of the altar was a large scroll, bordered with pink and white roses, on which were these words in violet letters: "I am in earnest—I will not retreat a single inch—and I will be heard."—William Lloyd Garrison. The chancel was filled with palms and other flowers. The program was of an exceptionally high order and was as follows: "The Battle Hymn of the Republic," the choir; invocation, Rev. J. W.

Washing: ton-and: party left Oklahoma ..City'a noon, At dusk we were, crossing the narrow strip of country inhabited by the remnants of the Seminoles. We looked out for “sUmething that would give us somte idea of the civilization they had been able to reach out here in this fer- tile. country, under the fostering care of the Governthent. Years ago Theo- dore ‘Parker, who, ‘as Thomas Nelson Page remarks, was a good friend to the: Negro, said: . “In respect to, the powef -af civilization, the. African is at the boitom, the American Indian next.” As this sentence expresses an opinion ‘till pretty widespread, all members of ‘the parly were cager to see how the two races, the Indian and the Negro, who came out here together in, 1838, Tiying side ly side in the same environ: ment, bid prospered. Mr. Washington was ‘particularly interested because at Hampton he, had at one time had charge ‘of all the Indian students at that sciiool, and had acquired a high opinion of them. When you ack in the Indian territory jn regard to the Indians, you almost inyariably get_an answer something like this: “Oh, the Indians. Well" —with a vague wave of the hard in the direc tion of the hprizon—"they hive gone back.” Jf you press your inquiries still forther and insist upon seeing an Indian, in nine cases out of 10. when ypu comy to meet that" Indian yeu find out he is an Irishman or a Negro or something else, 1 made the personal gequaintance of. just.two-Indians. during. the time. 1 was in the territory. One of these was an Irish policeman, who told ime he was a Cherokee, and the other was a Negro lawyer, who said”he was a Creck. One of the wealthiest natives in the Creek. mation is Aunt Patsy McIntosh. I did mot see her, but I was told she was a Negro. The whole situation out here is complicated and puzzling, and if one attempts to understand it he is very soon deep into the intricacies of a social and political history full of surprises that reminds him of Alice in Wonder- land, Tt should be remembered that when the five civilized nations—the Seminoles, the Choctaws, the Creeks. the Chicka- saws and the Chitrokees—were banished to the territory in 1838, they brought with them a considerable number of Negro slaves. At this time the Chero- Kees, through intermixture with British| traders in the early days, had acquired! a considerable infusion of white blood. | and with this inheritance of blood they came into the possession of a legacy of| Scotch-Irish names that are still pre- served. One of the most noted and nu- merous clans in the territory is that of the MeIntoshes., Though there has been considerable mixture of the different strains, the Indian, Negro and the white man, cach of the different nations has maintained a different attitude in regard 10 the Negro. as far as concerns inter- marriage and social equality. For in- stance, the Negroes have been favored py the Seminoles and Creeks against the whites. On the other hand. I am in- formed, the Cherokees, Chickasaws and Choctaws have fayored the whites to the prejudice of the Negroes. Thus ethnic and’ social considerations of the most complicated sort have entered into and modified the situation and made it inique and interesting--———1, A further circumstance that has tend- d particularly to render the relations Mf the races unstable is the fact that very “Indian”—and that includes also he freedmen, those who were formerly | laves of the Indianst-and adapted citi- | en is entitled, in the allotment of land jow taking plice, to from 160 to 360 || cres of lang.

Repeiting and ee Lady Who, Through Talent and Character, Became Principal of Best School in America's Best Cultured City—Inspiration of Her Career to Our Young Women—Qualification Which Encouraged Her to Success. Boston, December 12.—We have here in Massachusetts an admirable example of what a colored woman, in spite of her race, may achieve in respect to her work to her usefulness in the place where she lives and labors, in the person of Miss Maria L. Baldwin of Cambridge. She was born no better than many younger member of her race. She enjoyed no exceptional advantages over others. She was forty years ago a colored child like other colored children, and like them she was enrolled as a pupil in the public schools of her native town. The same books which were copied to her were open to them, and the same teachers who taught the young girl taught other young girls also. There was equality of opportunities in the public schools certainly between the small Maria and other colored children who attended school when she attended school. Nevertheless there was a difference. In what did the difference consist? In a something, a part of herself, which differentiated her as a child from other colored children who were her school contemporaries. And what was that something? It was character. She had indeed a more natural ability than the average of those children. But that alone is not enough to account for the big difference between her and them. Something else has to be added to her superior ability. What? Well, industry, application, a definite purpose must be added to her superior natural endowment. Otherwise mere ability would have been powerless to achieve such as have been achieved by her. Strict something else is wanting beside abilities, industry, application, a definite purpose, to account for the position, the success achieved by Maria L. Baldwin—something else to account for the high respect in which she is held in Cambridge and Boston by both races. And what is that? It is the sterling life which she has lived; it is the uniform high level of her conduct, which has made her, in union with her other gifts, the noble and refined woman that she is to-day. God gives us talents, some one, others two, and still others five. And he expects the one to whom he has given one talent to add to it, and he expects the same of him to whom he has given two, and likewise of him to whom he has given five. In order to keep what one has, whether great or small, it is absolutely necessary to increase it. And this inexhaustible law holds true at all times and in all places and under all sorts of circumstances and conditions. Failure to add to our possessions ends in every case in total loss of them, whether those possessions be material, mental, or moral. And it matters not what produced the failure, whether the operant was created in some flaw in individual character, or in bad social environment, but the penalty attaches, entailing loss follows. No one escapes, no one law operates, unilior no exceptions, repressive nor peasant, rich or black, but fails on each and all the secret of Maria L. the success as woman received certain gifts from the Creator and them, began early to never ceased to add to through all grades of school, and in each grade the reminiscent deposit in traiter. She went into doing with her might her heart found to do another and friend. And twenty she graduated brilliant honors. The well her graduating promise which it gave business and distinction, been so happily ful- northern colored girls with might have stayed at a something to turn up put to use what she the schools. But when at home she turned Southward where she white for the har-tenance served her well institution as a teacher. turned to Cambridge she usually and in womanly the qualities which go to first-class teacher, to class work. She was training personality, with pleasing and at times retirement, intelligence spirit which illumined matched her face as for the transmission of noble thoughts. was Maria L. Baldwin the school board dis- appointed her to teach her grammar school of that evinced rare pedagogic thought she had to do with almost exclusively, her by the gravitation of all character. To the big- brained girl, pupils and studied with hardly a strug- hardly an exception. No on her color, every one for- woman she only saw in her a how she used to teach, who knew she was a born teacher. She was recognition in school stretched in favor with his rise in fame. She sold so became so Angela when the principal of the school talked about a dozen women, without solicitation finally on the part of her friend who was chosen by the position then va- cated of her school. this appointment had here in the country be- that matter. And per- it could have occurred unsettets. But extra- and is, it did actually Baldwin in the uni- bridge. In competi- tions and shee-mer- tage and color, and shaved this woman rose to the principalship of the Agnacis grammar school. Now, the Agnacis grammar school of Cambridge is the leading grammar school of that city, if it be judged by the character of the pupils who attend it. To it children of Harvard professors and of the best families are sent. And the head of such a school must not only be a teacher of the first order, but, if a woman, she must be a refined and cultivated lady as well. And this the trustees found to a singular degree in the person of Miss Baldwin. She is in every respect an up-to-date teacher, possessing unusual gifts for imparting knowledge. But she is in her class, room distinctly something more, as any one would instantly perceive, any one who has ever had the good fortune to see her conducting a recitation in English or history. About herself is pedagogy there is an atmosphere of bravery and the manner of a lady, gracious and grateful and dignified—not your lady of the manner class, but your lady by blood and in spirit. We ourselves, had known them closely for many years, before we had the good fortune to see her in the class room, to see her teach. It was several years ago in Hampton where she had gone to teach history in the Hampton summer school. We had had no previous acquaintance with the new method of teaching which makes a class room a live thing, where the faculties of reasoning, observation, and memory are all brought into play under the skilful direction and manipulation of the teacher. And we found at Hampton that year some really great teachers according to the new method. The summer school was then conducted by that master of the art, of teaching, Prof. Hugh M. Browne, who drew about him the best teachers from all parts of the country. The general level of the teaching corps was high, but above this high general level stood three men, one from Cambridge, one from Chicago, and one from a Western university, and these women were white and one was colored. The colored woman was Maria L. Baldwin. Together they stood at the top of the teaching corps of the Hampton summer school of 1899. And-a, really remarkable trio of great teachers they formed. They were not at all alike, but on the contrary were intensely individual, each putting upon general up-to-date methods her own personal and particular sealmark and distinction. 'It was a wonder and delight to watch them at work in the class room, and to witness the quickening intelligence of their respective classes during the operation. It was like being present at an operation of nature, and seeing for oneself the hidden processes of growth by which she produces first the blade, then the ear, and then the full corn in the ear. For a great teacher is your, only natural teacher. She has discovered the secrets in which nature produces her results in the vegetable world and has applied them to the stimulation of growth in the world of mind and has done so with most gratifying and surprising effects. Nature uses heat and moisture and the chemistry of soil in doing her work, and the up-to-date teacher uses attention, memory, and reason in encouraging interest in her subject and driving sons home in the minds of her pupils. When these three women differed one from the other in their art we shall not attempt to indicate. They were different but in a sense at the same time equal. But the quality which made Miss Baldwin prima inter pares was the social charm of her manner in the school room. The others like herself belonged distinctly to the class of teachers of the first order, but they were in their class room teachers pure and simple. Miss Baldwin, on the other hand, was something more, possessed in her capacity as something which the others lacked, and that something was the atmosphere ofement, of culture, of social breeding ofement, of culture, of cases of those persons who have in contact with the best people of a highly cultured and civilized society, and have done so for years. She was in her class room a teacher of unusual intelligence plus a lady of unusual refinement and graciousness of manner in a drawing room. This remarkable combination of qualities won for her at Hampton as it had won for her at Cambridge instant recognition, instant popularity. She was easily the most popular teacher in that summer school, as she is easily the most popular teacher in the Agassiz school in Cambridge. In fact Maria L. Baldwin as teacher and woman is simply charming. She has not been spoiled by her successes—does not know what a swelled head means. What she is today, she was twenty-five years ago, simple, straightforward, absolutely unaffected, in every inch of her body, in every ounce of her brain, through and through the soul and the mind of her. She is to-day the true and noble woman whom we have always known as the best of friends, as the best type of the womanhood of the race, eye, of our American womanhood as well. Such an example of signal success, of high character and attainment may well be held up to the girls of our race for imitation, for the girls of any race. For, in spite of her color and race, and all that implies in America, she has risen in position high above the class into which she was born, has won recognition by merit and character alone from perhaps the most intelligent and cultured community in the United States. The colored people all over the land may well say to Maria L. Baldwin: "Well done, good and faithful servant and friend"; and so hold her life, up as an inspiration, to the young womanhood of the race. RETURN TO THEIR PULPITS. RICHMOND, Va.- December 11- The "New Negro Political-Religious" party which was conceived at what was called a Baptist "Congress" field at Suffolk, Va., in October, has died a-boring. The Baptist Record, its organ, which two weeks previous to the gubernatorial election, issued its pronouncement calling Afro-American voters of the State to their tents, has found out that its manifesto was not heeded, for out of about 15,000 registered Afro-Americans qualified to vote 12,500 voted the Republican ticket. This new political college which met at Suffolk to educate the people as to the ways of politics has concluded that they can best serve the people and their calling, by devoting their time to their calling—the gospel ministry. Congressional Conference of Top Am. Cruzago, Ill., December 12. - Although this is not election year, our colored political leaders are in a great state of excitement over politics. From a woman's standpoint, what is going on seems to be a good deal of a Chinese puzzle. On Tuesday last large numbers of Afro-American voters were seen in the Second ward, which is a part of Chicago's "Black Belt," hurrying hither and thither, decorated with badges, with cigars in the grip of their teeth, and wearing on their faces a grim determination indicative of a tremendous issue. Your correspondent was informed that the nature of the struggle was a factional fight for the election of officers for a ward organization. The biggest and most prominent men of the ward were arrayed against each other in this contest. Carriages and cabs were to be seen loaded with voters of their respective factions hurrying to the polling places. When your correspondent witnessed this political excitement and learned of the hard and bitter things that were being said by each faction against the other, she naturally concluded that something was at stake that profoundly affected the present and future condition of the colored people. Was some colored man to be elected to Congress? were some of our leading men actually in the race for United States Senatorship? or did the issue involve some of our rights under the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments? Surely, I thought, the colored voters could not be stirred to such a high pitch of enthusiasm for anything less important. Surely our lead men would not risk such bitter enemy against each other for a mere trifle. To the extent of our colored city papers, one would conclude that one half of our colored men were tricksters and the other half no better. A great amount of bad feeling has been engendered between many of our leading men and the causes which call for the united support of all which call for men must suffer because of this ward fight over a political bone, and a very small bone at that. What good can or will come out of it? Certainly no good to the race of people that is already too much divided. The only persons to be benefited by this bitter factional fight among colored leaders are a few white men who are ambitious to become Governors, United States Senators, or to hold some other honorable position. Of course a woman is scarcely expected to understand and appreciate the deep philosophy of these petty political broils. Yet it would seem that we are asked to pay a great deal too much for the privilege of everlastingly helping some other race to get and hold a big office, in the Second ward party fight put more time, energy and feeling into this fight than all the white forces combined, but who are to receive the benefits. White and black, they are all beginners. Before the election white men are beggars for Negro votes, after election Negro votes are beggars for white demographics. Is there a principle involved? Perhaps, but it requires a well trained eye to discern it. "A plague on both your house." About once a year some one of the Chicago papers starts us with the announcement that we are to have separate schools for white and colored children in Chicago. On Tuesday last The Tribun displayed the sensational headline: "Race Problem Rends Public Schools. Many Bills Refuse to Chase Schools of Colored Children." A year ago we read something of the same kind, yet the danger of separat schools is too remote a possibility to excite any anxiety. Every attempt that has been made in this State by law to divide the schools, on account of color, has failed. The courts of the State have repeatedly decided that our public school system is, and must remain, a democratic institution and must not know the children of the State by their complexion or by their race affinity. The strong men and women of the State have always been arrayed against it and those who come from the South protest in vain. It is true that now and then colored and white children have their little race quarrels, but not more than do the children of other races. It is also true that once in a great while a colored school teacher has some trouble with white pupils, a very strong harm walks. The most that can be done to separate the pupils is by the abuse of the "transfer" system. That is to say, when the parents of white children ask to have their children transferred to schools where there are few, if any colored children, their request is granted, while the same authority might refuse to grant a similar transfer to the parents of colored children. This system might in time lead to complete separation in some districts. The fact that there is some complaint, and occasionally a little friction is not to be wondered at. It seems to be an indication that we are doing something worth while, whenever a complaint is made. The colored children in the Chicago public schools have made excellent records as pupils. Their behavior is not below the average of that of the white pupils and they have won more than their share of prizes and medals in the various school contests. Also our colored teachers have made good records. I have never heard of one of our colored teachers being dropped for misbehavior or incompetence. Some weeks ago mention was made in my letter to The Act of a delightful talk on John Ruskin by Jenkin Lloyd Jones at the Frederick Douglass center. During the present week Mrs. Celia Parker Woolley gave a charming study of Ibsen, the Norwegian poet and dramatist, including a scholarly analysis, of one of his most poetic yet deeply psychological plays. It is by these studies with their refining and uplifting influences that the Douglas center is justifying its existence in helping to enlarge our vision and to cultivate a taste for the things that are real and permanent. FANNIE BARRIER WILLIAMS. Georgia, on the Wash., most Poverable to Afro-American, with Twenty Neat and Minimal Impressions and Louisiana Low—Local Impressions in North State, Southern Bancorst U. S. Attention in Georgia. Regular Curriculum of THE AGE. ATLANTA, December 12.—Inquiry is often made as to which one of the Southern States offers the best chance for success to the Afro-American. In other words, in which one of these States is he given the best opportunity to live and make a decent living for himself? The answer could not be direct because the situation is peculiar. In each one of them there are localities where the Afro-American is practically free from molestation and where he is given a helping hand, while in each of them there are communities in which he has but a poor chance. This condition is general. Georgia, possibly more than any of the others, leads in the matter of fair dealing to her Afro-American citizens, though she is far from according to them all the rights they are justly entitled to. Next in order apparently comes Texas, followed by Florida, Alabama, Tennessee, North Carolina and South Carolina in the order named. The chances of the black man to live and pursue happiness in the States of Mississippi and the greater part of Louisiana are at the minimum as compared with the sister States. Excluding the cities of these two, the Afro-American is not given half the chance that he is in the States first mentioned. For instance, in New Orleans or Jackson or Greenville he is given pretty fair treatment, but in the great agricultural regions it is a precarious and uncertain tenure that he holds. The whole thing seems to go by sections and localities and strangely enough it most frequently happens that the Afro-American fares - best in places where he is - not numerous. As an example, the instance might be cited of East Tennessee, North Georgia, the western part of South Carolina, and different parts of other States where his numerical strength is low and the average of good treatment, high. Another peculiarity of the situation is that often one county - in a State is known to be a bad section - for the black man, while in the adjoining counties the relations between the races are very good and encouraging the morale of the Afro-American is high, usually the treatment accorded him is good, though this is by no means an infallible rule, the tendency to hold a whole community guilty for the gross misconduct of any one or two of its irresponsible black citizens being too strong to absolve the guiltless from punishment meted out to the wrongdoer or to regard them apart from him in instinct; and motives. Afro-Americans of a community in which they are rightly treated possess in a marked degree a positive attachment for their, white neighbors which often asserts itself in various ways out meeting or convention is to be held in a small town every Afro-American woman of the town holds herself in readiness to do anything she can in the way of domestic service to make it a success, and reciprocally, if a large gathering of Afro-Americans is to take place, the white people of the town lend assistance financially to make things agreeable for the delegates and visitors. When, the Methodist conferences and the Baptist associations, are scheduled to meet in a town the local preachers of that town do not hesitate to call on the white people for help and they always get it. When the meetings are in progress many of the white people attend them. Often the strong stand of one or two white men for justice for the Afro-American has resulted in whole counties being friendly to him. It is well known that Alexander Stephens was a friend of the black man. He showed his friendship in many ways, one of which it is said being that of lending deserving young fellows money that they might get an education. So great was the effect of his and his family's kindness to Afro-Americans that it is felt today at his old home, Crawfordville, Ga., and in the surrounding country where the best of feeling exists between the races. And, conversely, one or two bad white men can make a community very undesirable as a place of residence for Afro-Americans. Instances are known where a few white men have terrorized to such an extent that the better element is forced to prosecute or lose their tenets. To so telling to what extent Whitecapism would have gone in Mississippi had not the fair-minded white men decided to break it up. Investigation showed that hundreds of men had formed an oath-bound organization for the express purpose of whipping black people. It is in what is known as the Mississippi Bottoms or Delta where the Afro-American fares worst. Here it is where he in many counties outnumber the whites and, where on a Saturday there can be seen five hundred black folks and possibly a score of whites in a town or village. The former are in town for the purpose of trading, the latter are the merchants and their help. Anent this matter of bad treatment where blacks outnumber whites and as a reason therefore it has been said that the white man finds it necessary to be very harsh in order that the Afro-Americans may be kept in subjection and that no danger may come to the few whites from the numerous Afro-Americans. That is to say, it is necessary to lynch a few Afro-Americans every now and then on general principles in order that the others may be good, a sort of means of inspiring fear and awe in the unlynched, it would seem. There is no necessity for it, however, as experience has shown that these Afro-Americans, living in large numbers among a few whites are seldom known to molest them. Some parishes of Louisiana also are very undesirable places of residence for Afro-Americans. In some of them the Whitecapper still walks, or rides by night and it is a crime punishable with flogging to dispute a white man's world even when the black man knows he is right in so doing. Life for the black man in these regions is one perpetual round of fear the year, through and things do not seem to be improving Where you will find a full line of Choice Meats, Poultry, Provisions, Fish and Oysters at all times at lowest market prices. oct 26 1 yr.

And yet he must dwell there and help to make the sugar and cotton, because the imported Italian, after a trial of a year or two, manages to slip away to some of the towns. All in all, it is not an easy thing off-hand to name the most favorable State—indeed it is more of a matter of certain sections in each of them that offer the best opportunities. The President has just named ex-Congressman F. C. Tate to be United States attorney for the northern district of Georgia. Mr. Tate is a strong Democrat who was defeated for Congress by a Democrat stronger than he was. He displaces E. A. Angier, a milk-and-water - Republican - who has held on to the job for nine years and who wanted to h. ld it for at least four years more. Democrats are holding a good number of the offices in the South these days; mainly for the reason that Republicans get up wrangles among themselves and the geta' gets place. This is the cause of the appointment of referees some years back, whose recommendation for office, generally means that applicant will get the place. The papers say that the President was influenced in making the appointment of Mr. Tate by the fact that he had made a good record as a Congressman and because the President believed that so useful a man should not be retired from public life.

At the time of the appointment, the President reappointed W. H. Johnson to be United States marshal. Mr. Johnson is chairman of the State committee and has long been considered one of the best men in the party in the South. He has no love for the Lily White idea and has always helped to crush it whenever it has held up its head.
