Washington Present and Printed. Washington, February 15.—President Davis probably gave a great impetus to the training and cultivation of the old plantation when he told the students of the Missouri (Va.) Industrial Institute that these songs, along with those of the Juniors, afford opportunities for development of an American School of Music. The students were received at the White House afternoon by the President, accompanied by Rev. Edward Hale, the president of the Senate, and Dr. Hester F. Washington. The President offered which they sang a song which so pleased him that he follows: a great French literary music developed by the Old World, came and to incidentally men- far as he could see there for the development of American music, of American would come one from and one from the vanish- specially those of the all of you to realize the music of music and song of music and song I feel that there is a gradually out of the only that your race has some school of American to come through you the President praised the efforts of the staffing afforded by the Welfare Department in classifying the importance of training for both white and African people, the said.

Dr. Bovie Tells Them Why They Can't Clear Up the Twistballs. Dr. Charles B. Morris, pastor of the Abrymia Baptist church at 344 West 40th street, told the police a few reasons why they don't agree in cleaning up the Tenderloin when several members of his stock were arrested Sunday morning in the West 50th court for holding a revival meeting without license on Saturday night in West 37th street between 84th and 98th avenues. After an enthusiastic revival meeting at Abrianna assistant pastor William J. Brown, and member mallied out against two dancers all lined up running at full blast in the neighborhood, the police regenerate to come into the fold. The police heard the noise which ensued and proceeded to run in Hev. Brown and three of them led to Hev. Morrlis left his sick bed, to find ball for them and was on hand Sunday morning in the court to defend them. In reply to the charge that the missionaries were breaking the law, Rev. Morris reported that the dance halls were still run by a clock Sunday morning when they should have closed at midnight. The police captain replied that couldn't get any evidence against the dance. "I'll tell you why you can't get evidence against them," replied Dr. Morris. This morning, at 2 o'clock in front of one of the band members with music and dancing, I saw a politeLEANER, consuming liquid refreshments that were being pased out to him through the door." Magistrate Cornell discharged the missionaries. HEPLIN FOR "JIM CROW" PULLMANS. Albums Anarchist Trices to Win Still More Infamy. WASHINGTON, February 19.—Congressman Hulin of Alabama, who achieved a special victory this week, one she had placed dynamically under Dr. Washington while they dined to her and Dr. Washington with their security with a bill providing for "Jim Crow" safety in the South. The bill will of course fail. "CLAN&MAN" ENDS BEFORE MARCH 1. "The Redskins" Will Suppliment It at Liberty Theatre on That Date. Two weeks ago, when we 'phones to the Liberty theatre, we were silently informed that "The Chassman" New York can would end on February 17. Perhaps Chassman has put up the money to tide the show over another two weeks, for it is still running. However, its days are numbered, for play, the Redskins, is billiard to open at Liberty on March 1. "The Chassman" will have lasted little more than seven weeks. PHIPPS, TENEMENT IN A YEAR. In the new model tenement house for Miro-American families which the Phipps Houses Corporation is building on Gkd and 64th streets, near West End avenue, there is to be a settlement for Miro-American, Dr. Elgin R. L, Gould told me. On plans at the February conference on the Charity Organization society yesterday in the United Charities building, and what he didn't know, Miss Walton, of the kindergarten and Industrial association, who was in the audience, told afterwards. "The house, which will accommodate eighty families or more, will be finished in about two years. In it space is to be allowed for the settlement in a kindergarten room, cooking school, roof garden, etc. The whole building will be under the charge of women. The settlement will have our towns, and as such will pay rent, but in may make a contribution to the work." "The Walton Kindergarten and Industrial association is now conducting settlement work at the Colored Baptist church in Walton, Miss. Walton said that when it moves into the plaza for Mrs. Mary White Ovington, of Brooklyn, will be the head worker, with one assistant at first, who together will conduct mothers' clubs, industrial and amusement clubs, etc. "Miss Holle Adams has invited our club of largest in the city to attend Wednesday matines of the Peter Pan," added Miss Walton. Dr. Gould denied that Afro-American skipping their rent any more than white pennants. "The rent is $1,500 per total rental of $1,500 was only $1655," he said. "Colored tenants are as cleanly and careful as white, the ratio for repairs in one colored model tenement in this city being not a whiter larger than in the white." "American are charged from 10 to 30 per cent more rent than whites. Dr. Gould said: "I know a house where the white families who were paying $15.50 a month, were turned out all colored tenants brought in, who were charged $25 for exactly the same accommodations." MANHATTAN V. M. C. A. LECTURE. Counsellor J. D. Wetmore gave a Brilliant Discourse on Honesty and Responsibility- Discourse on Honesty and Responsibility. With every available space in the lecture room of the auditorium and on stage, I accep- ted the opportunity to engage with many seated or standing within hearing distance on the reception room, Counselor J. D. Wetmore, the brave, brainy young man, who was the first to deliver a battering ovation last Sunday afternoon. It was just such a crowd as had greeted Rev. Charles S. Morris, D. D., pastor of Brynsham Presbyterian Church, the great preacher of "Lincoln and the Negro." Simiur enthusiasm was displayed, but it was called out by any different emotions. Dr. Morris's crowd was full of excitement. Lincoln exhibited, and to show their love for his memory. Their expectations were abundantly rewarded by the scholarly and elegant address of the brilliant Morris, who had a gift of less few equals and absolutely no superiors. The crowd that came on Sunday after noon last came to see and hear the young lawyer of rapidly growing fame, who had been called to testify before the judge and who wholly unified service which he has rendered for the amelioration of the ills which his people of Jacksonville and of Florida have suffered, and which he frequently fix upon them. For when the Florida judge had omitted the "Jim Crow" street can law operative upon the people of all cities of the State, Mr. Crow courts and won his suit. He was also successful when the case was carried before the Supreme Court. Mr. Wetmore spoke on "Homesty and Indian Responsibility," and he like some white people, were not hooted in small things. Many are given to acts of petty larceny, "In Jacksonville" said he, "I can buy anything from a pair of suspenders on a store, a pair of suspenders on a store. Those things ought not to be." He emphasized the well known fact that the world, too, was inclined to judge the whole race by the acts of individuals. The apprehension of close of his address was loud and firm. Mr. James W. Johnson, of the company of Cole and Johnson, a friend and secretary T. J. Bell, was present and highly entertained and amused the audience with his humorous and original jokes. Dr. Roberta, Dr. Moan, Counsellor and others were also pre- and spoke. THE CAPITAL RECAPTURED. Senators, Representatives and Judges Unable to Get Attendance at First Congregational Church at Meeting in Interest of Mammanah Industrial School—Chief Justice Brewer Freedman and Mr. Villard Spike—Dr. Washington's Speech—Graceful Tribute to Miss Jenna Dellmoff. Special Correspondence of The ACK. WASHINGTON, February 18.—When Dr. Booker T. Washington was here nearly two years ago two thousand people packed the Metropolitan church to hear him speak, and hundreds were infilled from the door, unable to get even standing room at any price. And this was a pay off too. And time does not seem to lessen the people's interest in this remarkable man no matter their desire to hear what he has to say. this was demonstrated last Wednesday night at the First Congregational church, where Dr. Washington was advertised to speak in behalf of the Mammanah Industrial school. So eager were men and women to get places of vantage in the church—places where they could see best what was going on and hear best what was being said—that they began to assemble about the building in full hour before the doors were opened. Long before the time set for the presiding officer to call the meeting to order the police were forced to close the doors of the church against hundreds and hundreds of folks who had been with it. Every space in the large auditorium was occupied, audience was composed of the leading white and African-American people of the national-capital. There were supreme court justices, senators, and congressmen; and their wives; there were teachers and preachers and merchants all there to hear what Booker T. Washington had to say on the greatest of problems before the American people. It was a minute unfortunate thing that this meeting could have been held in some great auditorium like Convention hall, a place that can seat five thousand people. This would probably have accompanied the crowd that endeavored to get into the Congregational church, and so many hundreds of disappointed people would not have been turned away from the door. Among those in the jam and crush that failed to get on the inside one might have seen Senators, Representatives and Judges, as well as men of high station in the executive departments of the government. For the sake of the cause, these people who should hear Dr. Washington, and it is to be deeply re-gretted that so many of them could not do so. However, the residents of the District of Columbia were treated to a great meeting in the control of the Minnesota school, Dr. Washington's speech may be simply characterized as "a good effort" to it seemed to run the whole gamut of a face problem, touching every phase of it so effectively that every point evoked treatment applause. Extents of it are given below. There were other features of the meeting, that added greatly to its interest. Justice Answer of the United States Supreme Court, Attorney General by Dr. Edward Evicke Ettle and Mr. Oswald Garrison Villard, the editor of The New York Evening Post and president of the board of trustees of the Mansuess school, all of whom were hospitable and encouraging, not only of the meeting, but of the enterprise for which the meeting was especially called, but also of the condition of the Mero-American in general. A large number of trustees of the Mansuess school, these young sons, have been received at the White House by the President earlier in the day. An account of the visit is given elsewhere. A large number of trustees of the Mansuess school is Miss Jennie Dean, and it was a most appropriate and fitting thing for Mr. Villard to do when he asked Miss Dean to come to the front of the platform and the audience. He was invited to her by friends of the school. It was an enjoyable the scene that was created by his beautiful and gracious act. Wild applause greeted this remarkable woman as she approached the stage, and the applause was removed again and the audience was engaged. Mr. Dale and Mr. Villard called her virtues and gave her a place among the great women of our country. Mr. Washington's speech in an inexpensive report to Mr. Washington's office is an excellent report to Mr. Washington's office. This following event, however, will appropriate its full effect upon its audience. This following event, however, will appropriate its full effect upon its audience. "It is a long way from the battle to the establishment of a Negro institution to the establishment of a Negro institution that first happened, and yet the distance has that far-reaching and are assembled here to right to do what we can to promote further the usefulness of that institution. There are some very vital institutions in this school. Washington should be deeply interested in this school. It is near this city and is doing good practical work. It has the advantage of being located in the midst of agricultural lands, and it has been said on other occasions, that any influence that will take the youths of our race from the shuns and crowded abodes of our danger to live in the midst of wholesome surroundings in an agricultural atmosphere will prove a benediction. This is what the Massachusetts school is aiming to and will in the future be doing. In too many cases do it on a larger scale. In too many cases the negro is at his worst in the crowded life of a large city, and in most cases he owes to the prejudices of his priests where he owns and cultivates the soil." "This city sets the biggest Negro population of any municipality in the Union and has an imperative duty to help in lifelong the negro to the most useful citizenship." "Investigation shows that Tuskegee students command an average wage that is three times as much value upon the services three times as much value upon the services of an educated one." "The South is passing through a revolution in its industrial and economic development, and more and more I am convinced that the South is going through a population, is and can be made a factor in this onward march. The demand for graduates comes from among one, own teachers in the class room, teachers of business, teachers of leadership and guidance in many other directions. Almost as pressing is the demand constantly coming from the best white people in the South for the services of our teachers in the Garris, dairies and other industries. "The eight millions of Southern Negroes, by contact with the whites, have had their minds awakened and they want land, houses, churches, books and paper; they want their lives, their vital. There is so much, work to do and the Negro labor is not inefficient. The increased industries of the South, rebuilding its industrial effort, is not performed by immigrants. It is the security of labor that confronts the people, not the inefficiency of labor. "Already, through the efforts of educated Negroes who have come from some of the first Friars, William force and a score of others, the Negro has blotted out, in forty-one years, 56 per cent that more than 70 per cent of the men are still in ignorance. In property bothies in Georgia alone have been the largest in city and city property, the Negro party owns eight million of dollars worth of property. In the Nation's business and party property, and it is in the nation's worth of property, and it is in the nation's worth of many colored people inhabit the cities that in keeping the amount, more than taxes according to the census of 1890, it was 71 per cent of the white Americans owning the homes they occupied and that 18 per cent of the homes which they occupied, and that 40 per cent of these Negro homes were free from taxes. "I wish more of our white fellow-citizens might inspect the life that the people lead in their homes, in their churches, their schools, in their workplaces and places of employment. Wherever possible able to reach the people through education they have improved morally by rapid pace, and crime has decreased. Other making progress in the single man or woman who holds a doctor's degree, the Hampton Institute in Virginia or the Tufts Institute in Alabama in the walls of the penitentiary. During the existence of the prison system and most colleges and industrial schools in the both, only three graduates are reported as having been sent to State's prison." Mr. Washington declared that, what is needed just now is a revival of the old American doctrine of fair play for all God's creatures, regardless of race. "One point," he concluded, "we might consider as settled—we are through experimentation—to be where the ten millions of black people have reached the unalterable determination that we are going to remain in your midst of the greater part of us are going to remain for Southern States. In this connection I do not hesitate to say that from my point of view, the body of our people find a more encouraging opportunity in the South than elsewhere. "While not forgetting or overlooking the fact that any set of people without the ballot are in tremendous disdain of government are at tremendous disadvantage, we should life if we go on quietly, persistently encouraging the people to secure property, to agriculture, to compilation for the most part in agriculture, civilization, in economic and industrial efficiency, while at the same time in every unity and straightforward way we cultivate friendly relations with our white neighbors, believe that success will crown our efforts. The Negro in many ways has proven his work most lovingly to this country. What he now makes of us, he firmly relates as Manassas he shall be given the chance to render high and intelligent service to our country in the future. I have said that such an opportunity will be given him. Mr. Villard, the grandson of William Lloyd Garrison, known, too, because of his wisdom, spoke particularly of the needs of the people of North Carolina at Western university which an English traveler had been invited to visit. The president and his wife and the entire faculty of the university was only one building in sight, but the campus was stretching away magnificently with 610 acres. There was no lack of hope, how acres. There was no lack of hope, how president. Manassas is not so badly off as the president. It has, he said, its needs and its hopes. "In the breast of Jennie Dean," he said, "has been planted that desire to serve others has been made more than any other characteristic she possesses. The first $120 at service, and to-day the institution she projected is valued at more than $80,000." She said the speaker, "the school the center of law colleges, manly ministry within a radius of many, many, just as has been so successfully done at Calhoun, with preschools, and other schools further south. He has been out by means of our example, by means of farmers' gatherings and conferences of heads of the household, we hope to become an all-inclusive center of law uplifting of the colored race within the five cities. We wish to make it a missionary station from which we shall send forth carpenters, of the country schools, train carpenters, of the law officers, show makers and skilled farmers."

RICHMOND, February 19- The State Assembly has issued a general "Jim Crow" stricty which affects all Virginia. This is considered a mean way of showing stricteration. For the most successful which the Old Dominion Afro-American has won in business and education at the wealth which he has added to the State, the African-American companies will have low Afro-American profits. REUAL RIGHTS LEAGUE OF GEORGIA FORMED AT MACON. Beting Called by Dr. W. J. W. White Exported to Have Good Results—Bishop Turner and Dr. DuBois Among, the Longue-Pour Four Hundred Present, including Many Predecessors—Addresc to Country Rearmaring Complaints— Turner Descounted American Flag and Nation—Max Manpointed by Hake Smith's Agent. Regular Correspondence of THE AGR. ATLANTA, February 17.—The rapidity with which the Southern Afro-American has lost ground has been truly remarkable. So far reaching have been the results of the efforts to "keep the black man in his place" that when they are seriously considered they make us wonder what next will happen. It has been for the past a gradual slide with scarcely a hold up. There are those of us living who remember when such things as "Jim Crow" cars were unheard of, and when the common carriers made no distinction between the passengers. Time was when the right to carry people the black man and his vote were generally counted. It was not so long ago that we were permitted to organize military com- panies. It was when the military came 3. It is within the memory of many of us to whom fell the lot to teach in the schools that the salaries were about double then but the crushing hand of prejudice has wounded many of most of them to our disadvantage. It was with the avowed purpose of seeing if something could not be done to remedy the conditions we suffer that Rev. W. J. White of Ackermann's Baptist, called a conference of race people to meet in Macon on last Tuesday. The case specified that we are being driven to the conclusion that there are many instances of oppression. It was a thrilling fulfillment of except, that it enumerated one thing as an injustice to us which is no such thing. Reference made to the white primary of with more than one person, probably four hundred persons met in the Conference, and they were from all walks of life, the preacher, however, being to the white leader, there were many sturdy former men and a few professional politicians. The meeting was characterized by an enthusiasm which began when the venerable leader was endued, and ended only when the doxology was said. After the body got down to business reports were read from committees on "Civil Rights," by Mr. J. Max Barber; "City Law," by Mr. J. Max Barber; "Farmer and Franchise," by Hon. J. W. Layman; committee was then appointed to draw up an address to the country. This committee was the chairman Bishop H. M. Turner and Dr. W. Layman. Through the columns of the *Georgia Baptist Dr. DuBois* had several works prior to the meeting outlined what he believed ought to be done on, and the committee followed the line of the committee's report. The plaint was made of "the unfair decision of the public school funds," the "injustice of the white democratic primary," the "Jim the system," the "Jury system which prevents the system," the "Jury system which when they are involved," the "municipal and recorder's courts," and the "proposed disfranchisement and the chain gang system." When to with closed ammunition was listened to with closed ammunition was there were constant onslaughts of applause. Among the prominent men who were present were: Bishop H. M. Turner, Hon. J. W. Murray, John Hope, Dr. W. G. Johnson, Prof. George O. Emery, Mr. G. M. Howell, Rev. A. D. Williams, Dr. A. R. Murden and many others of this State, together with Bishop R. S. Williams, Lane and Cottrell of other States. After the reading of the address a posthumous memorial was erected for Wright calling on the Republican party to put out tickets in all elections from Governor down. It was championed by Rev. J. G. Robinson who believed this would be one means of helping to meet annually before and be known as theEqual Right- League of Georgia. The address is to be put in a pamphlet form for distribution. By far the most interesting event comes from the meeting was the impassioned speech of the woman who raised his hands and swore an oath. I used to love what I thought was the great gatsby and, along with costumes about the stars and the setting, this country today the American flag is a dirty and contemptible rag. Not a star in the colored man claim, for it is no longer a longer name. I have heard of both white and black men perpetrating rapes upon innocent and angelic women, but no Nora in this story. I have heard of the horrible crimes of rape in fifteen years. I know that bloody ended, murderous nays say so, but what happened to the woman who said so? Yet there are millions of men and woman who pretend to be moral, and claim to be sensible in this country who go to get information relative to the conduct. Without multiplying words, I wish to say, "It is an improvement upon the United States when the Negro is involved. If the United States were to be allowed to appear before it, and plead the Negro for three hours, I will be willing to be taken out immediately and hung. It has come to that pass in this country that the Negroes are not the same as their own heard of, nor ever would be, who was never so that they were not the same as their own. I wish to be the resurrection tannor, and a little notoriety, he begins to believe, and slander the Negro and bounds into population. The Negroes are not the same as they are to meet me in public debate and I will show that the Negro is a far better man than they are. Some member of the conference who fancied a broad white newspaper an account of the conference said this of the bishop's remarks: "During the day's session Bishop H. M. Turner delivered a heated and inflammatory speech. His speech was not enchanting. He was not a man who could have said this reporter was wondrous wise and must have been out of the church when the remarks were made, or else he could not have failed to see that the audience to a man was not in the way of the church. He was not like that Bishop Turner, like the late lamented Col. W. A. Peldner, has a strong and forceful way of saving things openly and directly whether his utterances are endorsed or not. He is not a man who is not a man who, whether it will result in good and ameliorate the condition of the black man is problematical. In the first place, it was not intended by some of the knowledgeled leaders of the Church. The Church is a gathering, Bishop U. H. Halsey of the A. M. E. church, soon after the cell was made, openly declared that he thought it useless because, as he said, something more than a man should have said, "It is not that, Mr. B. J. Davis, editor of The Atlanta Independent, also appointed the gathering, claiming that the time selected was inopportune. The people who joined us were not to make the best of the news together will redound in good for the race." A glaring blunder was committed by the conference, and it is not the first time it has been committed by people who ought to be held accountable for a little time to the subject. It was the stamping of the white Democratic primary as an injustice to the Afro-American. The primary political carry can hold a primary or nominate a candidate which the qualifications of the voters may be determined by the organizations of that party. The Democrats hold such primaries at which black men who are so minded occasionally vote, and the Republicans have occasionally voted. The Democrats sometimes declare that in some none but white men can vote, excluding the few Afro-Americans who want to be Democrats. The Republicans are at perfect librarians or for themselves whenever and wherever they vote. The black man is the Republican in Georgia. The conference was, unconsciously of courses, the victim of a clever loot. Toward a most comprehensive declaration, when what seemed a most comprehensive declaration, and desires had been read and accepted by the delegates, and when nothing seemed to be left unaided that would possibly result in a short resolution was offered declaring that the sense of the body that the Republican party should thereafter put out tickets from Goya to the first it met with little enthusement the declaration to dearie that politics be eliminated and to ceeding up to this point. Then it was that a sense of duty lung power took the floor and old men were cross-routes "north" to march to the polls and be eloquence was burning, and the audience was warming up to his sentiments with haste. It was accompanied with a cheer, and then the clerical-looking delegate sank back into his seat and smiled. It will no doubt be a surprise to the many good and race-loving men and women at Macon to be told that this particular delegate, Mr. Atlanta Johnson, a press by a newspaper here, The Atlanta Journal, a most bitter sheet toward Afro-Americans and the official organ of Hoke Smith. That the delegate is preparing a conference in a report evidently furnishing evidence said of his speech that it "created the highest enthusiasm," and that the speaker "was to the no-no." It was all because the delegate is preparing a desire that the "Afro-Americans should be strong against" it. It is from this sort of talk Hoke Smith is telling the bourbon shop that the man is preparing to dominate if he is to be heard. He is a cleverly studied ruse to spring on an unsuspecting audience, and affords the Hoke Smith argument in their fight against Hosey Howe, the man who certainly doubt that this delegate was sent on a mission as he exhibited his transportation and a letter from one of the officials of the paper to a person whose life in Macon, thinking of course, that no mention would be made of it. But in spite of blunders and treachery, the promoters of the conference, express the hope that in the ultimate good of the movement. They believe that one of the best means of drawing attention to our condition and of eliciting sympathy. The men at the head of the movement, no doubt be commanded for discipline and for opinion was the opportunity thing to do. The division was made for annual sessions of the conference and a permanent organization was established, the presence of several bishops of other States was the necessary condition to the delegates. These bishops were present, however, because of the fact that the conference is a conference a meeting of the bench of Bishops of M.E. will be given to the press later on but its salient features have been given above. "ABYSSINIA." Williams and Walker Make a Hit With a New Comedy. Williams and Walker made their most ambitious effort last Tuesday evening at the Majestic theatre, in a musical comedy called "Amyssinian." The piece is far in advance of their last play, "In Dahoney," in costumes and seduction, while the work of the singers, especially in the chorus, eclipses all their former shows. A large audience groaned "Amyssinian" outhurtistically and all the performers approved of the polished production. As the audience now, however, the means of both the piece and the performances justified, the enthusiasm was awakened during the latter part of the show. The piece is the combined effort of J. A. Shipp, Alex Rogers and Will Marion Cook. Alex Rogers played by Earle C. Jones "Amyssinian" in music and high grade comedy. Adby Wobble shaped up of rough spots, but on the whole it is a most creditable production, fitted with music and high grade comedy. Adby Wobble shapes up some of the play. The story deals mainly with the adventures of colored tourists from Kansas who reach Amyssinian to jet away to New York. Will Walker and Rustus Johnson of Chicago, W. Walker leads the travelers. Rustus's main object is to spend the money won in the adventure with Amyssinian as an assistant in the play. The opening number, "Ode to Mephala," is the entire number of the Diaspora, a fine piece of music, as is also the clear work in the "Ode to Mephala" (the number which proved popular) "Where My Forfathers Bied," "The List and the Monk," by Aida Overton Walken in the character of Miriam, a dower girl assisted by a clown of Abyssiman maidens was lively applauded. To Aida Overton Walken is the credit for several clever dancer which were executed with much grace, and the number was received as a result, extremely well. Answers you doubt to get," by Lottie Williams, who received and is one of the varyest of songs George Walker had a good song in "It's Hard to Find a King Like Me," and "Ras his Johnson, E. S. A." with the clerks, Bert Williams had a brand new song "Here is Come," which is good, but the audience insisted on having "Nobody." which created storms of applause. Mr. Williams is the funniest of the funny. The music of the play is the best ever attempted by any colored company and the conducting of the composer. Will Marion Cook is worth so much as a fire, and always under perfect control. Mr. Cook is the only bit out of his orchestra that they can give. The last scene, showing a mountain with waterfall in the background, is "Extreme beautiful, also the market scene deserves marked mention. MR. FORTUNE ON LINCOLN.

Grigney and Miss Catherine Smith secretary. The meeting was held in the Union Baptist church, of which Rev. J. G. Love is pastor, and was largely attended. Mr. Wood of Jersey City made some interesting remarks. A vocal solo was rendered by Miss Burke and an instrumental solo by Mr. Purviana. Mr. Fortune's address follows: "Ninety-seven years ago a man was born who was to know sorrow and be acquainted with grief. Few men in modern or ancient times were born in lowlier surroundings or in more unpromising conditions than Ahram station or exercised a larger master some or more masterful influence upon a great people. Indeed, he was a master in times and times and helped to shape that history which has been shaped since the foundation of the Government. "Abraham Lincoln was born in Hardin county, Ky., on February 12, 1809. His ancestors were among the early settlers of Rockingham county, Virginia, whither they had gone from Buck- county, Pa. His ABRAHAM LINCOLN, grandparents moved to Kentucky in 1751, his Father, Thomas Lincoln, was born in Virginia. Some historians have labored to trace Mr. Lincoln's ancestry to a noble pedi- cate in England. However this may be, the reason for his numerous honors, and horbory, in the annals of the year, now know most forceful nation since Greece gave lett- ers and Rome gave law to the world. In 1816 Lincoln married Nance Hanka. In 1816 Benton knew now as Spencer县 county, Ind., and set forth the present village of Gouentry, Ms. Lincoln died at that place in October, 1818, and Howard Jr. Lincoln married Widow John Hanka in October with whom Abraham maintained amicable and kindly relations. At this time Abraham besieged himself about the farm, unusually large for his age. Here he received a letter from the governor, that was all that he ever received. The magnificent educational advantages now within reach of nearly every boy in the State have annually brought the reach of an entire school to every child. The ex- treme rich who could afford to give their children the most beautiful of a education. The poorest black boy in the State has better opportunities to seek such education. He gave a tracer by the stroke of his pen their freedom and opportunity. If he possessed books it is true that he thoroughly massaged them, and that he thoroughly underly studied and learned. He will have a larger return and more substantial benefit than the possession of a library that is as that described in Abraham dion as that described in William which is only regarded and treated procession. As his library was limited, he kept a book into which he religiously copied Nothing than this system will more than mind of the reader the contents of a book. "It almost bewilders us to think of Abraham Lincoln managing a ferry across the Ohio River, in 1852, at 81 a month. Indeed, his life and his pathways to eminence are only visible in the ferry City, who, like Lincoln, was born of the people, lived for the people and gave his unhood for the people. At this time Mr. Lincoln was the most famous story teller in the country, as he came afterwards to be of the elite, and his stories always had a point. They were Asopian in that directness and in that philosophy which are the quinence of his physical strength. He was also noted for his aunt's 6 feet 4 inches in height. First Hatred of Slavs the fact that he was unanimously elected captain of the company. When his term of obliment expired he promptly Brownie wark war, he went into everything else, to fight it out to the end. And then this Black Hawk war incident, like all the other incidents in his education which he would require at a future period when the destinies of the Republic were to at stake. Indeed, a close study of his education was shaped for the purpose of preparing him for the mastery of the four last and supreme years of his life. In 1858 he was defeated for the legislature he was defeated. At this time he was a Whig in politics and remained such till the organization of the Republican party. He tried storekeeping, but his partnership and the firm the debeath of the concern, Attacked Slavery in Illinois Legislature In 1851 he was elected to the Illinois Legislature and served till 1854 as a Whig. It was at this time, in 1857, that the first (took one year) to establish a pro-slavery resolution introduced by a Democratic member. In 1858 he was admitted to the University of Chicago, each in his way, as a lawyer as well as a statesman, was pre-eminent, but none of them exercised more influence upon judge and church than Lincoln. He reworked the vast changes which have taken place in the practice of the law by the conditions which prevailed when Mr. Lincoln was a practitioner and those which prevailed in the administration every function of life. In these days, lawyers went on what we call the circuit. They traveled from court to court on horseback. The conditions were rugged, robbery and violence. The lawyer won as much by his war and his address and his audacity as by his ordination in the law and in philosophy. In homely community at every corner, and that humanity which knows no race, no condition, no sex, no section, Mr. Lincoln excelled. Through all of his law his reputation was established as his authority. The court to him was a congenial recognition. He would have devoted his life to it. It furnished him an avenue for large fame and success while not inspirations, were large incentives for the exercise of that supreme nobility of character which was his in preeminent decree. He was not privately a money seeker. He was not a slaveholder. His car was always open to the plan of the widow and the orphan. Some of his best efforts were in behalf of those who were unable to uphold gratitude. "In 1840 Mr. Lincoln was a candidate for presidential elector, being pitted against Stephen A. Doughs. In 1812 he was married to Tieppe Todd of xington, Tennessee and Tieppe Fowler of kentucky, and was agress. He was the only Whig representative from Illinois in the 20th Congress. The Hon. Robert C. Winthrop of Boston, who was a comember, says of Mr. Lincoln at the time: "He was a man of great integrity and agreed entirely upon all questions of public policy. For shrewdness, sagacity and keen practical sense he has had no superior in our day and generation." Urged Abolition in District of Columbia. "In the Presidential campaign of ISIS he favored the candidacy of Gen. Col. Taylor and ISIS he was a successful candidate for seat in the United States Senate. President Fillmore offered him the Governorship of Oregon, offered himself a seat from the province of law, and would have perhaps continued in that pursuit and dealt with reputation bounded only by the vast prospect of a compromise forced him again into active public life. The repeal of no measure in our National history has been surrounded by the vast prospect of this compromise. In some respects it put a period to the reputation and political advancement of Henry Clay and the American forces and forced men of their times. It demonstrated to the American people that the conflict slave labor and free labor, he believed, was irresponsible. Mr. Lincoln accepted it to be honest, and in his opposition to the spirit underlying it and the ensuing acrimonious debate, he became the leader of the Whig party in Illinois. "The report of the Missouri compromisput a period to the long struggle between the North and the South, in which their differences sought to be composed. The brinkhill gagius and the consummate management of Henry Chay may be said to have dominated and controlled the course of the war, but he entered the Congress during his forty years of service. This man, the mill boy of the shakes, whose beginnings were as low as his first step, was the creation of whose ambition was quite as great; is supposed to rest his reputation mainly upon his contention for the system of American protection his contestation for a union of the states; is supposed to be the defence of Groves; but he will still be known in the estimation of midnight mankind as a 600-mile part of Henry's trumpet; the master compromiser. It is safe to say that the supreme struggle of the antagonistic forces of the Republic was delayed quite half a century because of the prologue of Henry The report of the� a complete marks a turning point in the bests of the Republic and in the history of mankind.

Mr. Lincoln, undoubtedly not a level-down to the need of the expression it was after that this Republic could not start itself, slave, have free In 1855 Mr. Lincoln declined to stand for a seat in the United States Senate in favor of Lyman Trumbull. He little knew at that time what a tower of strength he was building, to which he should often the for refuge in the momentous conflict which was immediately in his pathway. The Republic has had low men of the character and ability and patriotism in trying times of Lyman Trumbull. The legislature which the rail splitter had made in reputation and in public confidence may be estimated by the fact that in the National-Republican convention of 1866 the Illinois delegation supported him for vice-president. The delegation, standing next to William M. Dayton, who was nominated. F尖山 Victory of Stephen A. Douglas. The definite purpose of the pre-destained mission of this man, was disclosed in 1829 when the Republican Convention made him to the successful sale for the United States prior to an opposition to Stephen A. Douglas. It was in accepting this nomination that Mr. Lincoln made the famous declaration, which became a keynote, that a house divided against itself cannot stand. I believe this Government cannot endure permanently only the last two years as to the case. He was a proبوت as to the conditions which they confronted him, but he was a prophet as to the things which confront us. Upon invitation of Mr. Lincoln, Judge Douglas and his made a joint canvasy of the State of Illinois making a new process between them. This man question was whether Kansas should be admitted to the Union as a free or slave State. Judge Douglas maintained, as a primo-contention, that it did not make any difference whether slatery was voted up to the people. The man had the right to make difference. He maintained that the life of the Republic depended on it. He performed the contention of his opponent mercilessly with the keen shafts of sarsam and ridicule and that wit which has made the bravest men to the same life. These men had the National as an audience; my, they had the world! "The Dred Scott decision had just been delivered, Chief Justice Tahleh had just been sworn in, and declaring that it'd hold to be good law and preceded that the black man has no rights which the whitman is bound to respect." Even the shaves in the Iowa forests of Georgia and the rice fields of Mississippi felt the impulse of this great debate to which the whole world hastened. John Greenleaf Whittier, the poet of freedom, voiced their feelings in the following letter: "We pray he land it, give us signs. Don't day we be free. Do not wind tell it to de pines. Do not kill it to church bell. We fink it when de church bell. We dream it in de dream. Do not swear it when he sing. Do engle when he scream." "Mr. Lincoln was not only a politician but a statesman and a philosopher as well. He knew men, he reverted to the Cogstitution and human liberty and a Republican form of Government he believed to be inseparable. With Sunner, he believed that it was better to be in the right with a minority of one than with a majority of ten thousand. Here was a strength of the man, here is where those above common humanity, here is where he toke before above the masses and became their lender, because he was greater than they." Elected President South's Hebellion. "The election was held on November 6 and resulted in the election of Mr. Lincoln ever Brockenridge and Douglas and Bell by a majority of sixty-seven. It is a noteworthy fact that the combined Democratic vote was bigger than the Republican vote, and that the combined Democratic vote with the 72 votes of Bell had been thrown against Mr. Lincoln to any one candidate. Mr. Lincoln would have been detonated. For instance in the electoral college Mr. Lincoln read 150 votes. Brockenridge 72. Bell 25 and Douglas-12. 'Whom the gods would destroy they first make mad." The election of Mr. Lincoln was regarded by the entire South as a distinct declaration of war upon the institution of slavery. Mr. Lincoln's death had been a test of the council of the Nation, controlling Presidents, shaping legislation, dictating the policies of courts, and filling the highest allocation of the country. When so pronunces are in the public interest, the President of the South lost its presence and therefore took leave of its reason. For months, before the election it had been, openly proclaimed by the States, would seede from the Union. Thoughtful people regarded this as ill talk. But from the very day that Mr. Lincoln was elected the North began to preach on the same way to hold the army of Southern Cabinet officers, the army was scattered among remote frontier posts, and the ships of the navy were dispersed in the waters of the utmost parts of the country. The conditions of the fortress of the fortress, which in the Government were concentrated in the Southern ports, while the credit of the country was purposely prepared. Exceeding was done that could be possibly done to establish the result of the study of the administration. There were dark days Clouds hung heavy over the land.

"The shot fired upon Fort Sumter, which was heard around the world, was the answer to this precise appeal of him who had never put his hand to the plow and turned back him, hastened to his fortress in a deadly ambush. Soon the trump of millions of men, the toll of the war drum, and the despair of the cannonade, controlling the earth with confusion and destruction and hopeless sorrow and despair, the land. The Nation had simmed and it was receiving a banton of blood that it might be absolved. Larger armies were intertwined to the conflict than had ever before come to the battle, in the various struggles of recorded history. "As the war progressed the sentiment in favor of the total extinction of slavery rose to a mighty clamor. In legislatures, in courts, and by petitions without number, demand was made upon the Government to free the slaves, but Mr. Lincoln seemed not to be willing to do so. He was compelled by the Rebellion under the greater difficulties. He had enemies to the right of him, enemies to the left of him, enemies before him and enemies behind him. He was compelled by the Rebellion to the right of him, the conflicting forces which it was necessary for him to use. The employment of Afro-Americans in the war and the abolition of slavery were questions upon which the Nation was prepared to answer. His purpose of his to move in advance of public opinion. The dangers were no imminent and portentous that he could only hope to contend with them. He moved the government by interjecting no further content of discord into the signatories. In dealing with these two questions the displayed the high regard of statesmanship. He moved publicly and publicly to the United States, where General Butler proposed to use slaves as contrabands of war he found himself restrained by the President. When General Butler proposed to use slaves as contrabands of war he found it revoked by the superior authorities at Washington. When Horace Grosby, assuming the dictatorial role of command common to journalists, demanded ground upon these questions, Mr. Lincoln told him bluntly that it was none of his purpose to preserve slavery or to save the Union; that he should save the Union by freeing Some of the slaves he would do it; that if he could free the Union by freeing all the slaves he would do it; that Union was the main object he had in view. The Emancipation Proclamation. "The letter in which these comments are occurred was dated August 22, 1852, and was January 15, 1853. The letter falls to the lot between few men to have such a magnificent opportunity as Mr. Lincoln had to link his name with that of the president, but his holy cross was by Mr. Lincoln's own account of the emancipation proclamation, as related to the artist, F. B. Carpenter, and the president, John A. Calhoun, 31, 1852, to the necessity of supplementing that measure by a constitutional amendment. It was on February 6, 1854, that Carpenter and President's lips the following narrative: It had got to be set. Lincoln, mid-term, was still in the same state. In the end of the year, he had gone on from but to the end of the year on the plan of operations, we had been pursuing; that we had about played our game, and the other was to be the same. Now determined from the addition of the exemplary and un�-plank, and without the public's consent, the new plan was prepared the original draft of the pro-limination and after much anxious thoughts were made, and the plan was to be made on the date of the month of August. In 1662, the edition of the book was put out that the 22nd July 2221. All were put on keeping Mr. Holt. The postman general who was absent at the office of the office of the High Court, was also sent to the cabinet. That is, the new plan was set up, and had not passed the other way as the plan was to be made on the subject's notice of pro-limination, before the new plan was made. The plan would be made after the end of the year. He had been offered to the office of the office of the board of members, which information the part of Secretary Swords's future was as follows: "We offered to be more than the same range of public plans, and the plan would be made on the date of the fall of 1861. Nothing, however, was offered that I had not already fully until the end of the year. I am not sure of the plan to be made on the date of the "No President," (if applicable) of the pro-limination. The plan was the same plan. The depreciation of the public, and the cost of the plan was presented to the public as part of the plan. The time to be viewed as the last month of an expanded government is a for the time to be seen as the time to be in the hands of Philip Stick with the plan for his hands to the government. He is also a line of work on the plan. I need not be sure of the return. I have a great�. With the future, the plan will be made to the people who have not yet been given the plan to be made to the public so far as they will be in the future. It is a good time for the plan to be made. Shin went on to tell his story: "The storm struck me with very great force. It was a report of the case that, in all my thought, meant a great deal to me. I felt the result that I just the draft of the proclamation as you do a sketch for a picture, added or charged a line, counting it up here and there antiquity watching the progress of Tops's disaster at Full Run. Things looked darker than ever. Finally came the week of Tops's death. I was no longer. The news came, I think on Wednesday, that the advantage was on our side, that was staying at the Soldiers home (three miles out of Washington). Here I finished writing the second draft of the preliminary proclamation came up on Saturday, called the "March of the Citizens," and it was published on the ensuing Monday. "This proclamation, promulgated on the 1st of January, 1851, following fast upon the battle of Antietam, was the greatest achievement of a life who been conceived as an intellectual启蒙度. It rounded out and emphasized the consistence of his statesmanship. As a modest legislator, standing upon the threshold of his career, he stood up in his place in the braves' resiliences, introduced by a Democratic member, fifteen years after, as a member of Congress, he not only voted to receive anti-slavery petitions, but on the 16th of January, 1851, he issued the emancipation proclamation in the District of Columbia to abolish slavery in the District of Columbia; fourteen years later, as President of the United States and as the crowning act of his political life, he issued the emancipation proclamation five hundred thousand, fellow-creators. "In his second inaugural address Mr. Lincoln said, in conclusion: 'For with malice toward us, we must be careful in the right as God gives us to see the right, let us finish the work we are in, to blind us to the truth, to make us who shall have borne the battle, and for his widow and his orphans, to do all which may achieve and cherish a just and a lasting position among ourselves and with all our neighbors.'" "In all his utterances, as in all his public conduct, Abraham Lincoln stood close to the unkind, whose lut it is to labor consciously and to hope in vain for that relief which compares not. His sympathies took in the chief foundation stone of the chief foundation stone of his Democracy. The chief sentiment of his speech at Gettysburg was the touchstone of his patriotism: the great task remaining before us; that from these honored dead we take increased devotion; that we here highly resolve that this Nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom; and that government shall not perish from the earth. The great conflict was ended. The thunder of the cannonade, the music of life and dream and bugle, the groans of the dying and the shouts of the stoutness of the ribes all. The level of Peace, hevored over all the lung, sorrow-stricken and desolate every where, and with it great rejoicing and thankfulness to Him who death all things well, that the Union of the States had been passed, and that the Union of the States had been passed and that the Nation might start new upon a career of greater glory and power and happiness. And none felt this more sensibly than the great man who had stood like a Titan in the days of his great reproach of his own struggle. What a sight of the life must have heaved as the last school of the conflict died away on the air as a song that is sung, as a tale that is told. But it was in the midst of all this joying and the great reproach of the strong in its hope, that the bullet of the assassin reached the heart of Mr. Lincoln. The whole Nation felt the shock, and when he died the civilized world put on morning great health to him, great health was great. About the world the world better for his living and the poorer for his dying. But that which he did for the Nation and for humanity will only pass away when men shall cease to reverence moral grandeur, to respect the human�ness and to do so in a patriotious broadness. The deceptive as Responsibility DECREASE OP LYNCHINGS. From the Sprinkfield Republican From the Springfield Republican. The record of lynching in the United States for 1955 is the most encouraging one reported in 20 years. But 67 lynchings occurred, as compared with 57 in 1904, and 10 in 1915. The level in lynching statistics was reached in 1882, when mob violence was wrecked upon 255 persons. At no time since 1885 has the record gone above that figure or before. The curve would show in the first decade of the 20 years a steady rise and in the second decade a steady fall. The rate of decrease since 1910 is very noteworthy, amounting to 10 per cent. The past year has been nearly 25 per cent. The persons lynched the past year were, as in the previous years, for the most part in the city, and not only 15 lynchings in 1935 are charged up to the unmentionable crime. 35 being for simple murder and 15 for 'misuse of the city' are charged. These were for assaults on women and 33 murder. The colored race, consequently, the past year furnished far less of that which was present in the city, and always presented us their justification for its resort to moth law and savagery. From the viewpoint of both races, the past year was a source of then and unimaginable satisfaction. It may be fairly argued that both races are gaining in self-control. In the due course to the creation in recent years of powerful public sentiment against the lynching civil rather than to such legislation as the present. In the development of the sentiment the people of the South have been potent, and the gradually enlarging triumph over the terrible source of lawlessness is particularly heartily congratulated upon its success in making such visible headway against the worst crime of American civilization. A HEART TO HEART TALK WITH GIRLS. What Is in Your Home Side? Do You Make Things Easter or Harder for Your Parents? Have You Serious Ambitions or Only Greed for Pleasure and Excet- ment—In Your School Work Well Done? Staff Correspondence of Titz Ace. The colorful girl of to-day is quite a different person from the colored girl of a generation ago. At least she so seems to us, who belong to that earlier generation. The staff out of which she is made appears distinctly inferior to the stuff out of which the earlier girl was made. And we say this knowing well that we are open to the charge that to a man of our age the past apt to seem better than the present. But we protest, perhaps in vain, to the girl of the present, that our age has really nothing whatever to do with our opinion as expressed above. We should prefer to say pretty things about the girl of to-day, for she is with us, while the girl of an earlier generation is fast leaving the stage and therefore cannot thank us and reward us to the same extent as her daughter of the present can. We are speaking of classes, not of individuality, and we know the girl of to-day who is whit inferior to the best of the old girls of a generation ago. May their tribe increase, and may they live long and prosper? is the hearty prayer of the best that the race can give them and may they get all that belongs to them and more, and may they come into their kingdom soon, whether that kingdom be the kingdom of the best with troops of beautiful children about their knees, or the larger heart and home of a race of ten millions of souls, ready and eager to do them honor as the exemplars and custodes of a saint and nobler womanhood! But, as complications are odorous and odious also, we shall, try to drop that particular feature out of this letter and endeavor to show that little reference as possible to the girl of a generation ago. For, in fact, we are not after the old girl. Not at all, but we are after the new one in more shades than one old girl. We are not after the new girl and let us get a good look at her. If she can be located in one spot long enough for our purpose. For the new girl is a creatures of nerves and is as inconsequent as the old girl, but cannot guess whose she canmeth, whether she goeth, or how long she tarryth. She burries from home, where she thinks she is not having as good time, to another place in town, where she lives, moves and has her being. Excitement from morning to night, in the small, small hours of the morning, in the big hours of the night. This is what she longs for, the water breaks the thirsty hart after the water breaks. She has never apparently learned that thing which, when there forever trying to miss to leave, somewhere behind her, she never missed. She can never succeed in leaving her life at the end of this time. She has never been to play the other evening at Keith's theatre in Philadelphia a comic actor trying to drop his shadow. He tries to do so by every device which cunning can plan and put into operation. He has no one to give out, but the shadow is beside him. Then he unites quickly and walks swiftly in the opposite direction, but the shadow turns as quickly as he and walks with equal face alongside. She is the only one who has been in the same state, but by himself, the actors affects her. She is the ignorant of the presence of his shadow made me, and so plans to give his alter ego the slip at the end of the walk. But what he does the shadow does, and what he offers to show the others. She has no idea to look for the corners of his eyes, expecting to see nothing his shadow looks out of the corners of its eyes at the same instant from its exact place on the wall opposite as a window. She is so far from the end of the window, and I mean to undo it. The your body is a bit of comic desperation the man faces to and too before the footlights in the vain help of outraining his shadow and so losing it, the opposite is him faces the shadow, too, dropped not to the front of the window, but going not a little of a hair beyond his principal. Always there flies by the side of him on the bright background of the stage, the dark shadow of himself. Where he walks, he is going to turn the turn of the way when he runs it, and then he can't come there precisely on the second it stops. Such, O girl of the present! appears to us to be an exact counterpart of presentation of the dark shadow which that foolish self is throwing on the bright, but artificial background of your tragicomic life, with its intimities and futilities, with its bundle of emotions and actions, which you are forever shooting off in season and out of season. Sit still for an hour each day and look at that self squirrelly, until you understand what a shovel-up is, until you perceive out of what flimsy, foolish stuff it is composed. If after such a sense you can rise with any sort of relief, you can do more than we can do, you can do than any true man or woman can do—begging your pardon for our plainness of speech, do not think that the picture is a good likeness, that it does not justice? Very well, then. as look with you at the original the better you can condem. There is a home side of every girl, whether good, bad or indifferent. What is the name of the family? For this view the domestic profile of yourself, if this view of you is good then the chances are nine to one that you are good, too. Are you a mother taught by the child? You don't need to treat the accuracy of the portrait which you condemn. There is a home side of every girl, whether good, bad or indifferent. What is the name of your father? For this view of you is good then the chances are nine to one that you are good, too. Are you a mother taught by the child? You don't need to treat the accuracy of that home? Do you or do you not? Does the mother sweep, cook, sew, wash the family clothes? Well, do you help with the family clothes? What is the home side of your father? Do you make or spend a day with the household sewing, help her with the household laundry? Do you make or spend a day with your own clothes? What? We don't need to take a good look. You know, the house is the only place you have to go there. You haven't done, you have to get your lessons, mother prefers to do the work herself, father employs a service. What is the home side of your father? Do you have to go there from helping and doing? That is I have ever thought of father's pocketbook and how little money there is in it and how much he and mother have got to buy with it for a day. So, for that reason, you don't need to buy them to make money. Do you know your mother is a new world? Have you ever put your wife as a work with their son to make money out of their little and to buy away some part of it each month for a rainy day? Do you ever practiced, you know, the man, some small one? Do you know the economics and self-denials? Do you know how to make an old dress look like new, and an old hat? So do you know the one one of your parents? Do you know your mother's life? Do you prefer your mother's happiness to your own, or do you by the things you do, by the things you do not do, show plainly enough? Do you know the things you do not do, show a good look? Do you know the things you do not do, show your father's interest whenever it clashes with your own personal wishes and plans? Are you not the same as a board? Do you own home, going to the home where you are the only place you have? Do you have to go to and leaving the table when you have a-enten? You are in reality not so useful as a-boarder. For the in-boarder is a good place to the family while you bring nothing to accept bills to be paid out of the family till. Well, you go to school? But what do you really accomplish? Is your mind improved? is your conduct, your character? How much advice do you receive to the doing of your school work? Precious little, we fear, and even that little is poorly done. Nine to one you have that disease of the new girl which we shall call "the new girl syndrome." Why? It is because you live an utterly idle and worthless life. You have got boy on the brain, and you fainter that you have got him in your heart. If you had instead a little unmissable life, a little unmissable life in that foolish heart of yours you would not long be content to make such a disgusting spectacle of yourself, but begin father to make something better. You begin to be an earnest girl with a serious purpose, determined to be a true woman and to do a true woman's work in the world by learning first to do an earnest girl's work in life of your home in the life of your school. Well, after you have finished your course at school or failed to finish it, then what? Do you find that you have left your old self behind? Do you lose your self less, the old self that had no work in it and was active in the pursuit of pleasure? Have you put off that old self? Have you lost that shadow which is your undead and that doing of everybody who loves you and live-with you and whose happiness depends on you, on what you do and on what you fail? Do you lose your shadow, lose your old self. For know you not that the girl) is mother of the woman? What the one was in charnes does not do other will be likewise, so surely offset itself. O girl of the period! can rise higher than its source. So that the chances are as nine to one that if your girlhood was indolent, you will lose your happiness of others, pedigent of its obligant a bundle of restless nerves, a quiver of maddian emotions, your womanhood will be the same, marked by the same ugly traits. For by all laws of mind it cannot possibly be. Have you been a scissor daughter, unmindful of your duty to your mother, think you that you will be essentially different when in turn you have children, too. A girl who is not good to her father will not, by the same token, be good to her husband. For she is what she does, nor more nor less, not what she says she is. Deeds, not words, are love's vocabulary. And deeds are characters. If that kind of thought and emotion finds your reality will find you out, will drag you exactly such as you may intercept the light of your every day life and reveal on with all your imperfections to family and friends, to husband and children. You can no more escape this world than you can escape your shadow on the wall. Still you denom to the proposition that the girl is mother of the woman on the ground that the woman supports herself, the woman supports her parents. Well, we still support different woman works, the girl did not work. It will be soon, however, that it is a difference without distinction. For the qualities which are named to the girl belong equally to the woman works, the woman is the two; the woman works for herself, first for another. The woman works for herself, first for another. She loves her wages, the money she gets, not her tasks, not her occupation. She labors in order to support her family, for equipment. She sees new hats, new gowns, dances, seaside resorts in summer. It give her the means to hire from one person another in the pursuit of pleasure, in a vain effort to draw her shadow, hence her power, somewhere in the mind of her. She is a bright wall of distant emption of another stage of her world of unworthiness. Her work she does not love, her daily interest in Internet, in nothing but a brief, passing interest. Impress her with the doing of it, pleasure in increasing capacity, her competency as a worker, her no part of her aim, her purpose. She is not for that alone, but out of it for that alone. She has no interest in growth mentally, spiritually, to see that she itself of hers grow into something higher, breaking its hard chrysalis of its new form where life is labor, in service, in the desire of desire for the sake of others. What is marriage to such a girl her opportunity to stop work, to get a man a wife and furs and jewelry and fine furnishings a house, we will not say a home, that she is not able to get for herself so she goes into matrimony as she goes to work and of it. The old idea of helpmate is not. At all. The husband is to her to have a good time, the time of her while her part in the arrangement is to be made. The money she helps him to spend is self, and so the pair of fools like in the fool's paradise a sort of hand to hand lattice, chipping, shilling, shoppers, with the of the winter of their discontent of the poverty. And so she makes her wife and exits on her wretched little life in the footlight, shallow, small room, a shallow room and noble which she never was but she might have been. ARCHIBALD H Gripper PAUL LAURENCE DUNBAR Well-Known Afro-American Las Tricks of Fryeze on His Hair of Praise on his life. The Washington News Syndicate collected opinions from several poets Afro-Americans on the works of Laurence Dumbar. We reprint a few them. Prof. Kelly Miller of Howard University says: "I regard Mr. Dumbar as the greatest literary genius the Negro race has side of the Atlantic has produced. Loss is irreparable, not only to the race, but to American letters." Hon. John C. Daney, Professor of Literacy says: "I believe that literary loss was the best type of the root the race has produced in this country. It trained to heights at times that dared to readle. Every utterance he made was poetic thought, as prongle as undertake to make it. He was in the best sense of that term, although differing in style, will rank Poe and Whittier in his ability to teach hearts of the people. Indeed, he is proted the human soul as scourge of any other master. He was buoyant boyish at all times, and ill at restraint. He stood at the very top in our literary men." Hon. Judson W. Lyons, Register of Treasury, thinks that that and Lars Lundberg, the author of *The author, but easily ranked among greatest of American poets. For a life has been his compass, his short trip, his short trip, Hon. Cyrus Field Adler, on the death of Paul Lundberg, the U.S.-American people have been known. Lieutenant Thomas H. R. Clarke is "Dunbar enriched the literature of country with lyric gems which placed in the front rank of contemporary amnesia from a heart in compelled amnesia with the buoyant soul of a class rapidly vanishing. He was to the pleasant what Burns was to the Soil. Mr. T. M. Dent says: "The deed of Land, the Land, the Land, among us the greatest American of our race and the sweetest singer of Negro didest America has produced was also a versatile and beautiful writer. His stories abounded in folk and photopoly peculiar to him. He has given his race a stature in literary world." Prof. Charles H. Moore, of the A. M. College, Greenbush, N. C. and Prof. Charles H. Moore, of the A. M. College, Greenbush, N. C., has lost his most distinguished legal genius. His place in literature is unique. Prof. Holly J. Davidson, predeceased by Bethel Literary Association, Washington says: "Paul Laurence Dumbarx is soulful and rhythmic melodies for everything before them. His works are beautiful and unpredictable. His genius cannot at this early stage accurately estimated. He was in a alone, unequaled and unapproached state. Dr. W. Bruce Evans, principal of Armstrong Training school, says: "The classes studied by pupils in the Macon School are so good that the students are given books and studied by the students with evident pleasure. "His his works are an inspiration to the children of the entire country. In his example of the abilities of the race." DON'T REDUCE REPRESENTATION Such a Course Would Worsen Our Flight of Afro-American People. To the Editor of The New York Age. I have read the account of the use of the Constitution League which seized favor a reduction of Congressional sentiment in consequence of our best franchised. Now, as I see it, Congress can force the second section of the Fourth Amendment, and at the same time the terms of the Fifteenth Amendment. The second section of the Fourth Amendment leaves it optional. States as to whether they will allow the entire race or not. But the Fourth Amendment says that no State in United States shall disfrain an account of race. It follows a matter of course, that when wegress to enforce section Fourth Amendment, we mean to nullify the Fifteenth Amendment, and it would then whether we intend to account not. Has the League decided Fifteenth Amendment, and a precedent by which the disfranchise the colony race The disfranchise the colony race would cause the South to vote to the colored man you are making a most good You have overlooked the fact States of the South the control and if allowed to vote the such States. Take South stance, can any sane man that State would regiant right to vote, in the light control the State he gets a reduction of power, than, The further fact is, partly of the South wounds, that the Afro-American then would be allowed the Afro-American the right, he would vote against that rule, and the Afro-American of representation would not give it to one Afro-American in the entire. But rather, those who can now vote in the South, for some reason, the vote now. J. O. NIH, Wilmington, N. C. February 15. Bent Hatterons and Agile Mt.

FIRST SIGHT OF A WHITE FACE. German Scientist Made Friends of Dwarf Negrius With Tempting Gifts. *German Scientist Made Friends of Dwarf Negrius With Tempting Gifts.* A few thousands of the human race have kept themselves so aloof that they still live in complete isolation, dreading strangers more than they do beasts of prey. One tribe of the dwarf Negroes in the Malay Peninsula, whose stamping ground is the mountains of northern Malacca and southern Siam, is numbered among those slay and retiring peoples. The people ask only what they are afraid. They live apart because they are afraid. A German batsman named Albert Gunner hauler while on a collecting tong a few hours, and he took a folk as he might for game, excepting that he had no murderous purpose and merely wished to study them. He knew that the man upon them unnawes. They would run of if they had a half chance; so the German and his two or three native servants stole an unnawed man along the paths leashing through jungle and underbrush, expecting, if they aroused suspicion, to meet a party out hunting or underbrush, so their its inmates could take to the woods. It was rather tedious work, but patience was at length rewarded. As Gridner renewed his search one morning he heaped a handful of potatoes on his men sprang to one side past as a number of the little men came along. They had been collecting rattan and had loads of it on their backs. They saw the white potatoes in the loads in the path and sprang into the bush. The German and his man know everywhat what they were to do such a thing. They were to be a soldier, a warrior, a weapon was to be a weapon. One of the men who could speak a little of the native dialect aired his accomplishment in the great war and the white man was for good friend and the man was for good friend what wonderful presents he had brought for his friends. The white man and his friend were treated with bright cutouts, strings of beads, many colored necklaces, tobacco and other tempting articles whose merits were evoked by the spokesman with all the ability. They knew the natives were behind the bushes looking at the tempting sight and the vicious set down, will hurl them into the violent presents. Finally, an old man, the leader of the party, stink his head out of the bushes and hold it up. It was a sign of green vignetting and white man nodded to him. The ice was broken. The Nerigbi approached the Entrophe and the guests were distributed and the visitors became the guests of the little mountainers. They were passed on from one group to another till Gumbladder considerable time had passed his stature. One of the most scientific journals in Germany has thought it worth while to write about these, people. There they have lived for many generations almost within sight of the skies, sleeping in the night, and down the main Street, the gateways between the West and the East. They have been in the world for so long that they are known, but a persistence man, full of tact and kindness, finally won their respect and they told him all, they told them. Geniuses found them very human. They their family life is more developed than any other family in the world, family affection is very noticeable among them. They are also forging a link that connects them to the world. They longer produce life in the good old days, for something else and marriages have passed from tribe to tribe it has grown. They have become an added to the Swedish nation. WHITE ROSE ANNUAL REPORT. Extraordinary Work Performed With Small Funds—$115.150 Last Year. The White Rose Industrial corporation, of which Mrs. Victoria 12 Matthews is the head, has just issued its annual budget for the year 1955, is amassing how much this goal this month, considering its meager resources, has been able to account for. The total receipts for the year, in inclping a balance from 1904 of $1,958.98, aggregated $1,461.01. Volunteers contributions to the Home amounted to $277.777. The total expenditure for the year was $1,115.16, leave $146.11 for 1904. The self-serving spirit of the managers of the Home is shown in the princely salary divided among them. Thanksgiving spending cost about $100 apiece, but this was a little more than covered by special donations for these functions. One of the donations given to needy women and children. During the year two new departmental have been hired. One of these, the Pensy President Fund, purposes to encourage theft in old deprived homes, and the other, who have banked, by penny, over $100. The other new department is the District Nursing, which is developing The Travelers' Aid department which safeguards newly arrived girls from the hearty competition has been established between the Travelers' Aid workers under the supervision of Miss M. Jones and Miss B. Boyd, who is stationed at the Old Dominion pier. The association has also stationed an Assistant Miss H. A. Proctor, who has distinctly facilitated matters for the agent at this end. Miss Boyd has met at the steamship during the year accommodated 156 girls, dispensed 814 meals and helped 118 girls to secure positions. Each girl received an enrollment of 170, have been held. These meetings comprised one Sunday class, one cooking class, one language class, and three sweeping classes. For adults five weekly meetings with an enrollment of 156, have been held. One mother meeting, one father meeting, one manifold class and one social club meeting. Twenty-two public meetings and entertaining meetings with the association were held.

Benefit of Several Years of Jasperst Strickle, Breaking… At Its Mount Death for Afro-American to Enter. Stock Yards District — Amusement of Employees When Black Men First Volunteered to Break in Strike… Their Gradual Rescue After Strikes. Were Over—Now Over 2,000 Have Regular Job—Leonus to North. Special Correspondence of Ting Ack. Chicago, February 10.—What is known as the stock yards district of Chicago covers an area of several square miles in the southeastern part of the city. In this district there is a population running up into the hundreds of thousands. And what a conglomerate population. From the isles of the sea, from every country of Europe, Asia and Ameri- cess, speaking languages scarcely translatable into the English tongue, men and women have migrated to that part of the city, hogs, stags, and sheep are hourly coined to gold and silver. If you should visit Chicago and by chance be dropped down into the stock yards district, you would not need to ask where you were, for the unmistakable evidences that meet the eye as well as the olfactory nerves, would specially inform you that you had reached Porkopolis. Here is a great metropolis within a metropolitan district, parks, bourbons, theaters, museums, and business houses are enriched within this colossal slaughter house district. Men and women and children on the inside are shingling, calling, parking, cunning, inspecting and disguising themselves, and impossibly kind in every part of the globe, the great work of assimilating and welding together heterogeneous population is going on on the As might be expected the social problem of the lack of interest in their manifestations, Strikes backouts and boycots have all had their day of blood, blues, defeats and triumphs. The history of the Strikes has been interesting and of really few teaching importance. There was a time when the Strikes himself within distance of the stock market. There was a dead line drawn himself within distance of the stock market. Those who venerated across the line found Irish bricks. Yankee revellers and Swedish rocks awaiting them. It was a rare occasion of the early encounters of the daughter house that no Afro-American must enter and much less work in this forbidden territory. While many Afro-Americans have been actually stoned and in this death/death row affairies. There seemed to be from the outset a sort of devilish determination to be exclusively white territory. During the very first stroke which occurred in the first affairies, many of them offered their services to the pocket. Knowing how intense the feeling was against Afro-Americans, the employees were amazed at their during in the face of directional brave demonstration the first black applicants brave demonstration the first black applicants intimacy of the employees. They were at once given work, and their work proved so efficient that the strike was soon called off against Afro-Americans who were retained at that time but the law rights against Afro-Americans labor was perished. This was considerably offended. This was more than five years ago. From that to the present the Afro-Americans have slowly grown in their opportunities for In every strike that has taken place in the United States in the past year, an important and painful part. He has made it possible for these primarily pickers to work with every contract that has been waived or terminated in the past year, on these labor distributions, has not been due to any hostility to labor unions, not either a retaliation because of the strike or a hostility because of the American from sourcing honest employment on the brand field of American labor in the stock market was at first the most ordinary of the strike days. Each year, however, the result of every recurring strike, the African American in employment has been adjusted to the conditions of the labor market as well as Negro laborers, have been recognition and compensation in keeping with their needs. Some of the black grads who have been laid off in the past year, are now being done by college and training and sent for the better jobs. During the last strike at the stock yards, a moment of which was given quite fully a fearer letter to Tim Aet, the packer offered all kinds of employment to Afro America in men and women. Whenever our men and women were so well to pass the advice of the public they still there was no time to place them in positions which at one time would have seemed private beyond their ambition or ability. Our men were pressed into some of the higher grades of service, for which they had never had any previous training or experience, but they have been such surprising students as the top阔阔的men, etc., they after the termination of the strike they were retained and given the same wages paid to white men for like-skilled services. With the change of feeling toward Afro Americans and with better chances to demonstrate their ability to do the work of their own, the public has become a better group of them in now engaged at the stock cards then would have enough employment there in years ago. In fact, I know of some young women belonging to one so called "job" who work at the stock yards, with no base of costs or social prestige. Their work is gentle, their hours, easy and their may do almost; indeed, much more than they do than in any other kind of work could obtain. "The old time feeling of hostility against Afro-American employees has well minkered. We were not so enraged. We played at the stock yards. Colored men and women are now admitted and welcomed into the unions. In fact, the white men and women are now in their opposition to the employment of Afro-Americans in any capacity, now urge them to come into the Unions and get their jobs. In the last stock yards strike the colored men belonging to the union were among those who Gought the hardest against the unions." The intermittent of the victory won in the present undermined right to work in the hotel industry and understand. But for this new opening, we must hold our people would be in a very pliable position in the hotels and restaurants as waiters, in the big office buildings as juniors and in other positions now occupied by them. As it is now, a colored man can always obtain work at the stock yards when everything else is gone. Afro-American women can not any considerable employment outside of domestic services. I do not know of any woman employed in female labor where our women are permitted to wifk. The kind of work they do requires paid for this work range from $1 to $8 per week. In some instances where they do please work, there an opportunity for the woman to be a great deal to women who as ble place of employment, and may not have been able to acquire it. The exact number of Aft-America can men and women employed in the various packing and house yards. The yard is usually estimated in three hundred. To see the procession in early morning hastening to trains and cars to the store, they might really just appear that they represent a taller number than the above given. SOUTH INDUSTRIAL AWAKENING. Appreciation of Farm Vulture Due to Presence Cotton Cloison Cream. Made with natural materials. From the time we need, it is true that the industrial development of the South is going forward with amazing rapidity, it is nevertheless the virtue of the extent of the agricultural interests of the South agriculture is yet the foundation of the business of that sector, change from poverty to wealth, the finance and the land without a selling value to land in demand at an advance of 50 to 150 per cent, on the nominal price of one or two years ago, the most recent development in South advancement of the last quarter of a century. It is far reaching in many ways. It means that with little but year or two experience the Southern farmer has at least $1,000,000,000 in value, probably at least $1,000,000,000. But more than that, he has gained new courage, new backbone; that he has fought to a finish the crop; that he has fought to a finish the battle as to whether the producer of the spooler is to control the price of his cotton from the handling of cotton from the field to the factory, whether the factory be in this town or upon an entirely new stage in its history. It also means that land will be more thorny, and he will be a farmer, a more man, a manufacturer, is always better able to work to good advantage than the one who is fighting for years the total value of the cotton crop, including seed, has been $1,000,000,000. In years, showing a gain in the last six years over the preceding six of more than $1,400,000,000, a great increase in cotton alone, that the Southern farmer is in better shape. More and more has the diversification of agriculture grown and truck raling, farming and family, with the meathouse at home rather than the West, been developed throughout the South. A study of the bankers' letters develops many facts of very great interest. Many of them involve the value of farm land running from 30 to 100 per cent, within the last two years, very generally. The average report would indicate an increase of considerably over 40 per cent, in the last twelve months. One correspondent in South Carolina says: "In many institutes, much as they would have brought four or two years ago." Another correspondent in there are seven years, with deposits amounting $1,000,000, most of it belonging to farmers, whereas ten years ago they were $250,000. Another in the same State, reports sales of farms in his section at a heavy adjacency, where farm increased in selling price from $1,600 to $4,700, and another from $7,200 two per cent, and another from $7,500 two per cent, and another as an indicator of the general conditions. In Alabama, land which sold five years ago in Slavery to 31st North army, is now reported to have grown in part of the State there has been, it is reported, an increase in the last two years of growth. Throughout the Central South, it is very generally said this increase is due mainly to the increasing prosperity of the farmers, and to some parts the increase is also part of the growth in cotton, cotton lands selling to a considerable extent on the basis of the price of cotton, some parts the increase is also part of the growth in cotton, cotton lands selling to as yet been a comparatively small factor except in Arkansas, Texas and others of the South. In the tobacco districts of Tennessee, where the growers have made with equal success the same character of fight for better prices, the farmers have reported a realization on the part of the farmers that when banded together they hold a lion hunt against all possible comeback product, and that with the prices of their courage and strength. Throughout Virginia there has been a very considerable advance in the growth of cotton, increased diversification and the raising of livestock, and in part to the purchase of many farm properties by people from other The validation by the people of the entire South, bankers, merchants and farmers, of the power of cooperation in the proper management of the crops, the staples, cotton and tobacco, has brought about a community of interest which is to be exerted a very great influence on the South and of that portion of the business interests of the South and of that portion of the business world which is in any way upon the general prosperity of the South.

BRUCK ON CARRYING LIFE SON TO PUPIL New York, Pettit's School at Birmingham, Ala. by Being Minimist Work Among the People in the Interest of Industry and Thrift, Men Created a New Order of Things in That City—Effect of Our School Planned in Mining District—Vent Work Yet to Be Done in the South for the Mason. Special Correspondence of Tue. Jan. TURKHEM INSTITUTE, Ala., July 17.—Of all methods of effort for raising the condition of the submerged classes of our population, none is better than what now passes current under the heading "Neighborhood Work." Human nature needs so many props. Men and even women do not stand alone, though they often pride themselves upon the idea that they do. The rich man living among rich men adopt the practices and customs of his rich associates; the man in the church needs the help of men in the church to be benefited of his allilicious doctrine; the man in the alums lives like other men in the slums, and so, with each of us, we bear the marks of our surroundings, not often rising superior to our surroundings. To take a man or a woman or a child out of unfavorable surroundings and after years behind, is a much slower process at reform than it is for a child to be back on the spot, teaching many instead of one person only. Out of this idea, perhaps has grown the settlement idea or the neighborhood trust the spectacle of a well-ordered house which invites within its doors the young and old, cleanliness and economy and providing good reading and disciplined recreation for their leisure moments and such reliance on their lives above the animal stage this is the first object lesson of the settlement. Of the new responsibility resting upon them, and together they go out to live cleaner lives, 'partners in sin, in indulence, maybe they turn their footsteps into righteous clanics. Another feature that makes settlement work forceful in its permanence *Stassmide results*. But the slow and persistent plodding kept up year in and year out is necessary. The children must be guided and trained constantly, the children must be guarded, trained and educated into something higher than that into it. The greatest difficulty in cases where the children are alienated the real purpose involved in the work. When once the occupant of the appraisal room can be helped, that here is no opportunity offered by such孤立的 bands with the sole purpose of bettering the life has so often been Accompanied that doubts not to longer arise as to its possession must process rare qualities, and an abundance of the self-sacrificing spirit goes without saying. But the world is large and there Among our own people, who are for the most part struggling, upward toward the end of the world, are not very many, and they are the decile results. For instance, we should be rarely think of regarding a bank doing the usual banking business a particular way of doing a bank in a thriving Southern city where object is no less the business of a bank than an object is more David. The bank, the Penny Savings Bank of Birmingham, also, did not open its doors on or before the new age, but being the most important one but the others of the bank went into the by ways of the huge town. We have a lot of money to buy the money we earners and told them how they might save their earnings by depositing a portion of their weekly wages in the bank for the next year, although the money is less than and less than the bank's income, and now after it is now a common price line from the time of the year's. So that there is not much more revenue than there is not much more in the bank and there is need of more work, but not very one who adopted the glazed line of saving and purchased his home and to change the life of the bank. And the one to advise of the new de려ment will be the object I lesson to his follows. With the help of the business, we will be the inspiration always consistent, if some dermant thoroughly aroused, the re-generation began, and I have, now, upward and kindness must be the motive power that works the fairable. But is not the reward sufficient to the common people to do the same as the effective form of the values of an once of hope to fight the new pathway? And when the spirit of inbust and theft is less than the time of the current life, hardly be turned back again. Near the same city where this bank is located there is another effect which is significant because of its unique wealth; are they real and iron mines, its smelting works and manufacturing establishments. Hundreds of these enterprises. As is usual with large concentrations of this kind, the workmen and their equipment. Being in the nature of things removed from the cities where school girls need to be beheaded upon special occasion, the rank and in most cases actually are regarded as so many attachments; the general machinery, the tools, the weapons, the body and body together to render the service required of them little else is given, little else is required in order that the competition to stay far from the place of occupation may be reduced to the minimum. The teachers must be beaten at his task when the bell tolls in the morning. Well these wage earners whose eyes had been stained less than a minute, determined to provide the facilities for educating their children, less than a minute, determined to provide the facilities for educating their children, less than a minute, determined to establish a school, is an easy matter for them to accomplish, and so they put their heads in the classroom, and so they put their heads in the classroom that they might receive the training that would make them upright, in the sense that for the parents that were waiting for them. The school is now in successful operation; its corps of teachers are competent and intelligent, enthusiasm of the right sort; and all signs indicate a great future for this school which had its birth in the hearts of its citizens. It is high time that our masses of workers were taking upon themselves the responsibilities of forwarding their own interests in the larger ways. So long have the suffering millions been excluded from participation in civic affairs and industrial projects that the feeling of irresponsibility the inheritance of slavery—is still upon them. To note the awakening consciousness of heretofore unrealized needs, followed by the desire to compass them and its fulfilment, here and there, is a most hopeful augury. The want of means has often impoed purpose, and good intentions may well lie fallow when there is neither sunshine, warmth or hope afforded. All over the South, in darkest Mississippi, in far away Texas, and in less remote centers, one hinds efforts in progress to raise the community life. The work is carried where it is needed: the object lesson to planted in the very midst of the distress. The young and the old are hidden to come and partake of what is offered. The people are met, upfor their own level, and are drawn, imoverently upward. The large schools of the South, like Hampton and Tuskeese, Fish and Atlanta, are needing out many young men and women to lead in the work. The spirit of self-help and helpfulness to others is the lesson taught by these schools, and its results are encouraging. When of our millions there shall be a vast number of skilled workers, who will be the factor among the general body of laborers. Skilled workers are generally not known by the color of their skin, and while it is easy to exclude from our skilled colored corps from participation, trained by other people, it will not be so simple a thing when, there are sufficient workmen of color to carry out the whole enterprise, and the efficient effort at self-begin by teaching trades or some special form of work, the answer is plain. Men must work to live, and the most important command better wages, and the great mass of mankind will always constitute the body of laborers. The laboring classes or the mild work of that people. They form the wholesome, stable class, whose virtues react on what is above and below, and only forty-years ago, the work of developing and welding together a middle class is yet in process. Our professional men and women, only forty-years ago, are noble individual efforts innumerable, but the work for the millions remains yet to be encouraged. Each community has its motive, which has as its basic principle the good of the individual and the community should be encouraged. Each community has its motive, which has as its basic principle the good of judiciously. I have seen the whole aspect of localities here in the South altered and ample with new and more some with warm-self-assertive spirit, while lowly parents recording their children merely as sources of revenue and sending them to work. It is as if it is possible for their tiny fingers to perform the service, reversing their primitive notions and come to realize that the philosophy is an unending obligation. I have seen a lowly church becoming so clearly the center of its visibly chlamy of the home life of all its people, supplanting disorder and dirt with cleanliness and order, and making sentient beings out of the thoughtless and the headless. The helpless poor are no longer needed. Organized charity is supplying those who need work and those unable to work. In many cases things may be to help them, but from here even the poor house, younger, with down here, is not able to work. Work is needed to the master of the South's worst poverty, would say. How paltry such provision for the inmates of a poor house? Yet to us who lailt the inmates, we are from anxiety, assured that they will be fed, boned and when it is cold and are physically helpless - it is luxury itself. And thus through time and in devious ways the work must go on, contemptuous. That is why the poor are not far to work, for the helpless people. Opportunities all over this broad land are not far to work, for the helpless people are always with us making more appeal to our consciousness. JOSHUA R. BURKE. LESSON OF DUNBAR'S CAREER. Example of Geula in Pure Negral One of Notable Neural Networks. It is not to be pretended that the Ninepost Lonar, who died the other day only thirty three years old, will take a top rank in the list of American poets, but he was the recognized chief singer of his race. It is not surprising that his race has produced so few, for the United States did not supply one for two hundred years after the settlement of Jamestown. One in a twenty million people is as many as we can expire even though every fourth man and every fifth woman has been a Ninepost Lonar. He is so beloved by Ninepost Lonar that with little drop of white blood, his father ran away to Canada before the war, and his mother was freed by Lonar's promotion. He got a common school education and met his living by running an elevator at Boston, even when he had published volumes of poetry. He was a short tame, till his health tailed, in the Congressional Hall, where he all for several years before his death which he amputated in the lines published in Lonar's Magazine last December.

Much of his poetry was in the dialect of the non-English and published short stories and five or six novels. His merit was that he had a keen interest in environmental English and published popular vernacular as a vehicle of expression and made that vernacular classic. He found poetry in the black man's accounts of life, in his disappointments and leavements. He found a vein unworked and a vein that had been written had done in press, and he became in the true sense of the term, a popular poet. It is observed that he did not popularize his work, but he himself bim a much of genius. The Independent. The cheviators of the Negro race are always prompt to attribute any intellectual merit and advancement of individuals to the white blood in the; they say it of Profe, or Dubois, and Booker Washington and T.

But Paul Laurence Dunbar was of unmixed Nero blood; the son of fugitive slaves, with all the heartiness of a small and human life, his environment, although he was born in Ohio and freedom. If it is to the credit of the white race when men^{1} he is a man who is no one who is no one in the callings they choose, it not the will of the men. That is not the one? Paul Dunbar was not great, but his gene was original, true, and serious, and would have gained a hearing had he been white. He was a poet, and so impressed people who know him as a boy. In the case of a great great school teacher in Dayton; by the boys who attended school with him and made his president of their library society; by editions of newspapers and magazines. He took his written or other books. The men^{2} he was given them to the four of his poems before his name was known; by those who role up and down in the elevator he ran in a Dayton business house; by the publisher who issued his first book of poems (Nak and Ily); by the board of the board who was not a member of the William Dean Howells.

The answer came back: "Do you suppose your readers would not not funny? Would they, not laugh at it? or am a blonde? Would they, not laugh at it? or am a blonde? This is the substance, and the exact wording of the letter. The answer was to be so he did, with what it is well known. Nobody met the Negro's love tyries.

J. Rewan From Work Student to President—Milkin K. Revene the First President. Special Correspondence of Tikh AGE. LORMAN, Miss., February 11.—Alcorn Agricultural and Mechanical college, located at this place, is the institution maintained by the State of Mississippi for the training of Afro-American boys and girls. It was founded in 1871 by the legend, and the grounds and buildings of Oakland college, a famous anti-bellum institution, were purchased and dedicated under the name of Alcorn university. In 1878, the better to comply with an act of Congress of 1872, the name was changed to Alcorn Agricultural and Mechanical college. The work of Alcorn college is not unlike that of various other great colleges for Afro-American schools in the South, at the other schools, great stress is laid upon industrial education. Coming upon the grounds, one finds himself in an Afro-American community, well laid out with streets and avenues. The school buildings, of which there are about twenty, are arranged in the shape of a horsehouse, and the 16 cottages in which the students are resident to the shoe. The president's home, Adelphia hall, the chapel and one or two other buildings are all that remain of the M. Prof. L. J. Rowan, then professor of English was elected to the presidency of Prof. Lanrier. This was a recognition of Rowan's worth and strolling qualities. Using to Alcorn College in 1967, a green, in-principleed country boy, he worked in the den of the room for his education. Upon graduation, he was made a tutor in the English department, was afterwards a assistant to professor, then professor, and later who was work with a vengeance, has taken me the good wishes of the entire faculty and is going to succeed. From an observation of his methods in his office, one is determined that right shall mark whatever course he pursues. He was a student and graduate of Alcorn college, and practically all the experience he has had in school work was received at this institution. It seems to be the sheer interest he has in it that enables him to so well mutilment all things around him in accord with his principles. The teacher on the faculty said to me "Why I went to the room with a grievance the other day, and when he got through talking to me and advising me I had forgotten that I had one." As it is an agricultural and mechanical college, the time is events divided between the library studies, and the industrial work in the afternoon. Some of the very best work I have soon in a show of the time turned out. I have seen in a shop of the building, instead of a library, the work in which the industry is. All his work is made to order the shows, and the volume of the books in the face of the volume of the book is to be used in the study, and even a good price. And soon in all the divisions The most interesting feature in connection with the institution is the chown of laboratory, under the supervision of the I. M. May. Dr. May has given one of his own works on the study of his work in Alcorn College, and at its stewling in influence the board of the school. Much real work has been done for the students of the school. The work of this laboratory and special examinations are frequent in the by the classes and their instructor in office of the school. The school is the most important for the training of sick nurses has been provided and Dr. May placed at the school with Mr. May's own graduate graduate. President hospital, charge, All the industries show up well. The zillers, the blacksmiths and wheels of the school, are the most common and efficiency in their management. The student body is composed of much older young men and the most well-skilled, and they are a significant, centenarily set. Aloom college is destined to be great good for the Afro-American loss and the great income to come to her present in a time of need, or better yet to help on the race in other fields. The school has not yet been given the great year of the man and man, and finally reach the pre-history of the institution. It is a hopeful and positive. It is the American boy to triumph over every obstacle. Horace D.

We are gratified that The New trilateral States takes the same view of the domestic service question in the South that The Age does. But why does *The States* insist that the position which THE ACE takes to do offers from that which it took yesterday? We have always maintained—and we sustained in that position by the most eloquent and forceful of Southern writers since George E. Prentiss, namely, Henry W. Grady, that while the Afro-American is under the present circumstances essential to the effectiveness of Southern industrialism, he is not necessarily indispensable. We do not need foreign ingredients in the domestic service situation in the Southern States. The black woman should supply that service. Do we request too much when we ask *The States* to insist on this view and help us to keep the labor we have rather than turn to labor which we have not? Free Labor Contrasted with Slave Labor. We reproduce in another column of Tiff Ack, an article from The *Vaundtator* Record on "Prosperity in the South," which could be read profitably by every Afro-American in the country. The philanthropic growth of Southern farm values and production, and the steady increase in the value of southern farm lands, since the war, is confirmation strong as 101). Writ of the conclusion reached, in 1820, by Hinton Rowland Helper, a North Carolina, still living, in that remarkable book, "The Impending Crisis of the South," when he extols the value of free labor over slave labor, in the following passage (p. 561). Such are the agricultural achievements of slave labor, such as the results of the "sons of all villains" "the diabolical institution sublats on its flesh. At one time children are sold to procure food for the parents; at another, parents are sold to procure food for the children. Within its presidential atmosphere everything becomes dull, desolate and unappreciable; wretchedness and desolation can riot throughout the land; an aspect of most melancholy inactivity and dilapidation includes over every city and town; ignorance and prejudice attnured over the minds of the people; unsparing despair weld the secretes of power into the heart of the people; war and the Gulf of Mexico are the multitudinous exits of slavery apparent. The self itself soon slacks and dies beneath the unnatural tread of the slave. What a faithful, what a horrible, what a revolting picture of the results of slave labor! First labor has changed all this, as Mr. Helper predicted it would; it has given value to lands that slavvy blighted, and it has produced abundance where slavery produced want and woe. But the lesson taught, between the time withal, by *The Manufacturer's Record* marvelous demonstration of Southern prosperity under the magic impulse of free labor, will be lost upon the Afro-American people if they do not recognize the storm fact that the day of cheap farm lands in the Southern States is rapidly passing away, and will have passed entirely by the end of the next fifty years, and that they will have a golden opportunity which will never come to them again if they do not bend every effort to the task of securing in for example all the land they can. It is true now, and will always be true that they own all the land they will own these who live in Afro-Americans of the South desire not yourself; buy land now while it is within your reach, for the time comes, and quickly, when the opportunity to do so will be gone. The Foreign Mote and the Domestic Beam. Mr. John E. Milliardland, at the Constitution League meeting in New York, exposed in a series of fervid, balanced essays, the inconsistency of the United States government in existing profit vengeance for wrongs done its citizens abroad and in ignoring with stolid apathy the wrongs done citizens at home. Mrs. Terrell passionately contrasted our sympathy with murdered Russian Jews with our indifference toward murdered American citizens. While we are proud that our Nation not only protects its citizens abroad but also has the heart to intercede in behalf of oppressed citizens of other lands, we regret that its inconsistency, as pointed out by the speakers named, lays it open to the soffs and defensive grims of the other Nations. Did we not ourselves live in a house largely constructed of glass, we could with better grace and more effect cast stones at other sliders. We suppose that many sports and horse loughs have been awakened abroad by the resolution introduced in the House by Representatives, Mr Goldfogle and Mr Sulzer, protesting against the outrages upon Jews in Russia, Still, if Mr. Goldfogle really meant that he said, his speech was just asking: "The adoption of this resolution" he said, "will serve to convey to the world at large a lesson far-reaching and most powerful in its moral influence. It will serve another step in the annual march of human justice toward the destruction of race, hatred, class bitterness, religious factions and brutal intolerance." If Mr. Goldflegh's meaning is literal, he is in conscience bound to attempt the destruction of the manifestations of race hatred in the South. A good beginning would be for Mr. Goldflegh to take up the position of the National Federation of Civic Rights for the enforcement in the South of the Sixth Amendment. If, on the other hand, he doe nothing in this direction; his assertion that "America always stands foremost and conspicuous in every endeavor to break down the barriers that the narrow-minded may still maintain between class and class or creed and creed" will turn out to be on his part an empty and despicable brag. Afro-American Womanhood. No great a cynic as Napoleon Bonaparte is said to have declared, with the directness which has always characterized the words and acts of great soldiers, that "the hand that rocks the cradle rules the world." It is so just a conclusion that the authorship of it is not material. Whether acknowledged or ignored, it is still a fact that womanhood has been, the strength and inspiration of great men from Xues to William Lloyd Garrison, and of great nations from Babylon to the United States. The higher mankind rise in the scale of moral and intellectual development the higher the place womanhood is given, until from the position of slave and beat of burden in the life of the savage she reaches the place of the strongest and sweetest force in the life of the civilized man. The reverence, the sympathy and respect in which Jesus Christ, the noblest of all historical characters, hold womanhood has become the most endearing and helpful influence in the life of Christian manhood. A discussion of this question is always timely, because great truths cannot be too frequently reiterated, and because a general contempt and depreciation of Afro-American womanhood is a part of the stock in trade of Southern white men, who have done all that they could, in the days of slavery as well as of freedom, to destroy the chastity of those women: first, by systematic debauchery of them by force, and, second, by a campaign of literary disagreement, anneer and brazen proclamation intended to make other people look at the matter as they do, with utter disregard of the facts. It is to the credit of some Southern white men, like the editor of the *Charleston Neues and Carrier*, that they have resented the sweeping statement of a discredited ministerial freelance turned literary buccaneer, that "Negro women are without virtue, and have no idea of virtue." Far from being true, this statement is a brutal falsehood, all the more hurtful because there are so many people who believe that it is true, simply because they do not know the facts, and have been maliciously and designed missed and imposed upon by persons who have dedicated their lives and that of their porosity, as their ancestors had, done before them, to the hopeless task of keeping ten million people in a condition of social and political isolation and inconsequence. That the task was foredoomed to failure should have been evident to those who inaugurated it. No cause, based upon race, color or condition, can ever become a factor in American life, because the American democracy, the most genuinely such which has been developed in the history of mankind, will not tolerate it and cannot without destroying the vital force which animates the Republic. Afro-American womanhood was the most remarkable fact in the life of any slave people. It steadily gained strength and force in a condition where the woman had no protection of civil law or ecclesiastical usages in which legal marriage was not recognized, and in which she was regarded and treated as a breeder of stock rather than of men. And, yet, her love of home, her devotion to her common law attachment and her affection for her offspring, all of which could be destroyed in a manner, was the only force in the slave master, were the only forces in her miserable life which beautified it and grew steadily in tenderness until they became a passion with her as with the women of other races. When the War came to a close, when she was made a free person and brought under the provisions of civil law and ecclesiastical usage, she had no home, she had no husband in a legal sense, and her children had a mother but no father under the law. We have no historical parallel to the awful condition which confronted her. And you she took up the burden of a free woman with courage, and first legalizing the loose attachment under the Freedman's Bureau, which she had contracted as a slave woman, she began the work of making a home and of educating her children. The success which she has had is a monument to her care by her own hands which will stand as the Afro-American people shall remain an unabused and distinct race element of the American citizenship. She did more than create a home and help to educate her children; she helped to build a church life which today is rated as a commanding and helpful factor in the Nation's moral effort to plant in all of the people's ideals of right living and high thinking. She has in this way, in the space of forty years, helped to educate thirty thousand teachers for the public schools and twenty thousand for the Sunday schools and millions of wives for honest men. And the good work proceeds right along without interruption, making the men stronger and better citizens, elevating and broadening the character of our manhood, which is making steadily for the greater strength of the race as well as of the Republic. In every community where there are more Afro-Americans a small society of the "best people" can be found, whose standards are as clean and as high as those of other elements of the citizenship, and in which honesty of living is no more tolerated. This is becoming more pronounced so every year we are further removed from the moralized and debased social condition from which we started in 1855. We have among us a large percentage of men and women of lower morals, and they are to be found in the red light districts of every city, and town, but they are only a small part of the people and are not to be taken as the standard of race pride and humanity and right living, but rather that larger element scattered through the whole population who strive to live correct and useful lives. This is true, even as it is the great mass of the citizenship of all cities of the population. When all of the situations in the situation are properly weighed, the Afro-American woman, instead of being compared to women of other races disparagably should receive the commendation of honest men for doing her duty, with fidelity. devotion and intelligence, under most trying circumstances, and of still doing it in the home, in the church, in the school and in the general activities of Life; for she is making her way in all directions, as her white sisters are doing, even in the manufacture of song and story. And as the race grows in wealth, as it is steadily doing, so that its womanhood shall have more leisure for the cultivation of the refinements of social life, the existence of high virtues and chaste lives we have in abundance in all parts of the Republic will be more generally recognized and appreciated by all of our fellow-citizens. The strongest and best force in the life of the Afro-American people to-day is in our womanhood. The highest of it is as cultured, as chaste, as winsome as the highest of other peoples, while the lowest of it is no more so than the lowest of other peoples. We need to emphasize this aspect of the matter and to insist more than we do and have done that other men pay the respect to our womanhood which they insist we shall pay to theirs. Future of Plantation Melodies. President Roosevelt rendered a valuable service to Music when he called attention, with the impressive emphasis which his high office held, all his utterances, to the rich fields, as yet uncultivated and almost unexplored, comprising the old plantation melodies or "Nero spirituals." While we cannot go so far as the "great French literary man" whom the President quoted as asserting that "there are but two chances for the development of schools of American music, one coming from the colored people and one from the Indians," we do not hesitate to pronounce as sound the President's prophecy that on the basis of the plantation melodies some school of American music will be founded. It is true that this opinion is considered ridiculous by some eminent music critics, Dr. Flinck, the bourned and vehement music editor of *The New York Evening Post*, seems to regard the Negro and Indian melodies with contempt. We are inclined, indeed, to concur in his opinion of Indian folk-songs. These, so far as we are acquainted with them, suffer from a fatal defect—a penny of melody. But it is in just this respect that the Negro folk-songs are extremely wealthy. Even in their busiest form of degradation—we mean "rig-time" songs—there is an exuberance of melody; it is to be sure, gross, of the earth earth, appealing to the feet more than the feelings; but it pulsates with warm life-blood, it is vigorously alive. With all its erudition, we prefer "rig-time" to the thin, anemic music of, say, "Puntan." The one has all the promise of sturdy, uncoath and awkward youth; the other shows every evidence of feeble deprenitude. The "spirituals" proper are far superior to "reg-time," their degenerate offspring, but are like it in possessing the capital characteristic of life. It is a life more refined, less childishly joyous, but still throbbing life. They often make a sincerely pathetic appeal to the heart; they successfully express emotions. When they shall have been purged of their barbarisms and separated from their too often grotesque words by the taste of genius, then, we are sure, we shall have some noble music. It is true that Dr. Dyxorak has done much in this direction. Indeed, he has done too much. The phrases from "Swing Low, Swing Charlott," utilized by him in his "Aus" poem, are so beautiful that they have entirely lost their peculiar flavor. They were so completely Europeanized as to obliterate Africa. We suspect that the composer who will first worthily utilize the plantation melodies will be an Afro-American, learned, of course with all the musical learning of Europe, but still versatile enough to make himself one in spirit with the unknown and lowly composers of the "Negro spirituals." Who Fixes a Man's Place in the Social Order Editor Davis of *The Atlanta Independent* declared recently that "We may have as many conferences as we please, but the line of denomination is eternally fixed and we cannot rise any higher than the estimate our neighbors place upon our worth and usefulness as American citizens. Conferences are not the places to begin our fight for civil and political independence. Self is the force field in which to begin operation." The ACE characterized this as "false, vicious and mischievous doctrine." We stand by the characterization as accurate and first and for the reason we have before given and which we have affirmed, that "It is true of a man, as of a race, that he must poke for himself the character of 'worth and usefulness', which shall compel the 'estimate' which his neighbors shall put upon him." The Editor of *The Independent* thinks we are entirely wrong in our view of the matter, and we are satisfied to leave it to the intelligence of our readers. The Southern white man insists that "the Negro shall be kept in his place." What place? The one the Southern white man arbitrarily insists upon, one of inferiority and subservience. But the Negro nowhere accepts this, except under protest, and heroically making and taking his proper place. What proper place? One of equality under the law, state and Federal, politically and civilly; one of justice and equity, economically; one of equality morally and intellectually, metaphysically. Can he do this and compel the Southern white man to acknowledge it? We think so; we think he is doing it, gradually. He must do it; he must make his own place and compel his neighbors to acknowledge it, and he must keep the place when he has made it. To allow his white neighbors to make his place, as they have done, and to keep him in it as they are striving to do, would be civil, political, economic, social, moral and intellectual death. The Editor of *The Independent* says, in justification of his connotation that "The best opinion the northern white man has of the Negro as a mass is at long range, and just so as he comes among us and finds out that the masses of us are shiftless and untrustworthy he readily agrees with our southern white neighbor in his estimate of worth and usefulness, as citizens". This opinion sustains our position. It cannot be found that the Southern Negro masses are shiftless and untrustworthy, and we are astounded that Editor Davis should unflushly subscribe to this Southern white man's lie: they are not shiftless and untrustworthy, but more industrious and relatable, and more surely the backbone of Southern industrialism now than they were before the war, and the enshrined value of southern farm values and production alone proves it. But the Southern white man, to serve a base purpose, says he, and in- stand of refusing it, the Editor of The Independent magazine and reiterates it as his own. We must make our own place in American life. If we don't do it, if we allow white men to make it for us and keep us in it, we shall have and keep the place that Tillman, Vardaman, Dixon, and their sort insult upon as right and proper for us. "The Changman" Elseco. The failure of "The Clansman" in New York means that any attempt to stir-up race prejudice in the North is likely to fail, and will, very probably, accomplish the very opposite of its purpose. "The Clansman" had very extraordinary chances of success. Its author, through his books, articles, sermons and lectures, has achieved a motority almost National. The play enjoyed a sensational progress through the South; and reports of its extreme praises and no less extreme denunciations were forwarded northward by the over faithful Southern. Press Association and were intended to excite the keenest anticipations for its New York appearance. The advertising of the play was managed by one of the most astute of press agents. Actors of reputation were engaged and one of the high-class theatres of the city was hired. Nevertheless, "The Clansman" produced hardly a ripple on the rushing stream of the life of the metropolis. When it closes its run here next week it will have played little more than seven weeks in this city. No play leaves Broadway unless it loses money. Why, with all its remarkable advantages has "the Chimmanon" failed? Partly because its author, for all his ostentatiously advertised course in playwriting, doesn't know how to write a play. His clumsy, silly performance, though proclaimed far, and wide as "in play with a mission," could not conceal its deficiencies from the acute and merciless critics and the blase theatre-goers of New York. But the chief cause of failure, we are inclined to believe, is the repugnance of Dixon's purpose to the average Northerner. This individual happens to know at closer range than does the average Southerner the better class of Afro-Americans. The Northerner, in the majority of cases, is more or less intimately acquainted with some Afro-American whom he finds to be essentially quite the same kind of person as himself. Therefore, the Northerner, when he sees Afro-Americans as a class hold up as beasts and soundbirds, conserves considerable contempt for the judgment of the demonstrator and feels possibly some resentment for the insult which such a spectacle offers his own understanding. The average Northerner is not prone to take the so-called "Negro problem" very seriously; he sees too many Afro-Americans who present no problem whatever which is not peculiar to themselves. Besides not discrediting Afro-Americans with the average Northerner, "The Clanman" has by a reaction kindled anew the warm friendship which many Northerners, like Dr. McArthur, Rabbi Silverman, Dr. Mudsonia C. Peters and others, entertain for our people. The daily papers have been liberally sprinkled with letters from white men and women denouncing Dixon and defending us. This revival of good feeling towards Afro-Americans has been salutary, and much more important than the production of "The Clanman" in New York. It seems to have accomplished little if any harm but rather considerable good. And all similar undertakings are likely to have the same effects. While we do not mean to endorse the President's theory that a little Rough Riding covers a multitude of sins, such as murder and theft, we cannot help laughing at Senator Malloy's objection to the appointment, as Marshal of Arkansas, of Hen Daniels, who served a term in the Senate. He said Senator Malloy "cannot be passed over too lightly." But Senator Malloy once upon a time when he was a Ku Klux凯拉 held up Afro American citizens and robbed them of their ballot. The truth is that Senator Malloy, with all his ability in character only a penultimate politician, was a Ku Klux凯拉 held up Afro American citizens whenever party interests, demand an agent face. He once helped nullify the Fifteenth Amendment. But in the last President's campaign he posed as the champion of the Constitution against the alleged insurpations of Mr. Roosevelt. "Nevertheless, Senator Malloy the other day placed Senator Patterson on the floor for asserting his constitutional duty to色e he saw fit. A suspiciously vexed man." One should take with a liberal admixture of salt many of the stories circulated regarding the crimes of "burly black burglar" one of those in Georgia has turned out to be a legitimate crime.

MR. BURLINGTON AS A COMPOSER. Miss Fortune Thinks He Leads' After American Song Writers. Not only does Mr. Harry T. Burleigh—and the Afro-American composer this with pride—cell forth the highest admiration from some of Afro-American's most wealthy and critical lovers of music by his rich baritone singing, but also by the many delightful songs which he has composed and which place him in the estimation of the writer foremost among Afro-American composers of his class. As a race, we have made some signal successes in the writing of so-called "ragtime" music. Who of us has not enjoyed "The Castle on the Nile" "Under the Bamboo. Tree," "Molly Green" "Mandy Low," and many, many others? And who of us has not, on hearing those familiar strums from the orchestra, felt a little thrill of pride that these airs, which never fail to respond in the audiences, were composed by members of our own race and probably by friends of our own? And yet these HARLY T. BURLEIGH. HARBY T. BURLEIGH. compositions are in a class far below the classical. They cannot rank with Fran's or MacDowell's songs, much less with Listen's or Schubert's; and so, while we are proud of the "rag-time" composers because we admire success and true worth in any branch of work, especially when they are exemplified in members of our own race. we are exceedingly proud to find among ourselves one who writes songs in our estimation, compared with those of Franz. Grieg, MacDowell and others. A study of Mr. Hurleigh's latest songs presents this, although a few of his earliest short comparison with the later ones, "Journ," as an example, being his masterpiece so far. A glance at the two sets of songs shows on the whole an astonishing and pleasing improvement in the matter of beauty of accompaniments, climaxes and adaptation of music to words. A short review of a few of the best of these little genius of music should prove interesting to those who may not be familiar with them. One of the dainiest and prettiest of the newer ones is entitled "Apart." It consists of the following lines: If I were dead, I think that you would come, And look upon me, white and red, and say, "Fool child, I'm sorry you have gone away." But just because my body has to live and die, I must come home and The shortest of all the songs, but by no means less beautiful or less strong than the longer one, is "And As the Gulls Soar." This one contains only four lincs, and is a little gem as an encore song, "O Love of a Day" is another of the later songs that is always received with enthusiasm. Both the music and the words are full of feeling. Mr. Burleigh has also written a folk song which is genuinely and delightfully Scotch. It is called "Folk Song" or "I Love My Jean." "Dreamland," "Just My Love and I" and "Mammy's Lil' Baby" have the distinction among others of having their words written by Mr. Burleigh" wife, Louise Alston Burleigh. "Perfect Love," which was dedicated to Miss Dora Cole of Philadelphia, and which was composed for her wedding in 1904, is another song the music of which perfectly corresponds to the moods expressed by the words. Of this style of music List was fond, and beautifully ex-cumplified it in his "Larose." The "Birthday Song," the first one of Mr. Burleigh's which I ever tried, has never lost its pristine freshness and power to delight me, in spite of the many times it has been sung. The theme of the song is well given in the last few lines, which run as follows: Because the birthday of my life is come, My love is come to me. And there are over so many others, "Love's Pleading," "If Life Be a Dream," "Love's Garden," "Waiting," etc., all of which possess a rare charm. In return for the many hours of pleasure and consolation I have derived from his songs, I deem it a privilege to render Mr. Burleigh this song's tribute of appreciation. I would share this pleasure with others who may not have had an opportunity of knowing of Mr. Burleigh's splendid work as a composer. And as England points with pride to its, Coleridge-Taylor, notwithstanding the fact that African blood flows in his veins, so may America with equal broadness point with pride to Mr. Burleigh.

When the War Department announced its decision that the 19th Army would be sent to the Philippines, the Media Colonizer, a pageant of itself with colorful hats and a crowned horse, but not promptly get open and supplied by a wife. Since, which seems to be a journal-honorable character, The War Department has also announced that all the four African American regiments will soon see service in the Philippines. The War Department knows the African American soldiers will quite possibly be engaged in an active campaign, in China if they can only convince the War Department that they are capable of offering themselves. What The Evening-Foot presences is a good able triumph of Negro citizenship" took place in Mobile a few days ago. when ninety of the "principal citizen" joined in presenting a gold watch and fob to Rev. A. F. Owens, head of the theological department of the Colored State that University at Belma. Among those who made speeches was a former attorney general of Alabama and alternate candidate for the United States Senate. Rev. Owens was then a minister in the work with a bum-tarian and philanthropist, with especial reference to his good work in probing annual Christmas and Thanksgiving dinners for the poor of the county asylum and the city hospital, through collections was the merchants of Mobile, for twenty eight, and his good work during yellow fever visitation in this city in 1870 and 1897. Mr. Stephen Phillips' new play, "Netta," is characterised in London as a spectacle of cosmic magnificence, but no drama. The music composed for the play by Mr. Coleriday Taylor, however, is greatly lauded. The London correspondent of *The New York Tab* is written: "Nero," at Ilis Majesty's theatre, in not so much a play with dramatic purpose as it is a varied and splendid entertainment of imperial Rome in the crisis of decadence and the need for sensual intimate resources of stage art and with sensual oral music, composed by Mr. Coleriday lor. I am not sure but that the music is more dramatic than the play itself—especially the bacchanalian actrice, the pompous procesional march and the weird fire motives. In a letter to The Chicago American Mine Ella Wileller Woollox records among other occasions in Jamaica, W.

Plant is a man of great heart. To know what he has done, to think of all he may do, must give one an impulse of fresh hope for the world. It is small enough praise to call Mr. Plant as he has been called by the head of all the educational institutions in the good woods of Jamaica." Mr. Plant is principal of the schools in Port Autolio. We give elsewhere a splendid article on "The Judice in the Philippines," by Mrs. Elise Clare Parsons, wife of Congressman Herbert Parsons president of the Republican county committee and daughter of Mr. Henry Cleo, the lawyer Mrs. Parsons; like her husband, diales the frivolous case which her wealth could provide and is active in many good works. She is a friend on sociology at Harvard college in the article on the college lady's blame for the alienation of the Philippines at the doora of the Americans in the Islands, whom she charges, especially the women, with race unobbleness. She declares that the officials we send there should be men of ideals as well as ability. This has been out contention for several years. In forcing the resignation of Governor Wright a notable article over colorophobia was achieved. He was enchanted in the Presidential favor, his strongest benefactor was a Southern Democrat. Yet he had to go and prove because of his congenital and inexact knowledge prejudices. Our neighbor, The New York Times, writes an explanation of the early death of Wilhelmina Dunbar a Southern scientist's daughter of the Afro-American, though mentally capable of physical stimulation, mental development, in the physical stimuli to mental development, in the images of scholarship. If we should ask that the premature death of Kate or the mentable paralysis of MacDowell in the print of life argued anything whatever as to the stamina of the Anglo-Saxon race. The Theodore Roosevelt at our peril and foolish judgement. Yet I must admit itself to be betrayed into a parallel error, the neighbor could not have died in support of theory a less felicitous example than Dunbar it happens, as everybody who is at all qualified with his unfortunate career knows that a definite cause for his early death was the accident, and this cause was by no other study.

Mr. Edward & Wright Promenade a Scrathing and Contemplation Oblitary Over Dixon's Literary Grave. To the Editor of The New York Age: Thomas Dixon, Jr., the devil's masterpiece, said in a recent address in the church that "if not one Negro woman on earth she knows what virtue means." It might be well for a colored woman to speak on this question of virtue. Thomas Dixon's testimony on a question of this kind cannot be taken, for the reason that he has a judge of virtue, since truth is one of the attributes of virtue. Reliable testimony on the question of any woman's virtue must be given by one who has been on intimate relations with her. Mr. Dixon's testimony, if not an infamous fabrication, must therefore come from his personal experience with women of the Negro race. By this statement he seems to acknowledge that he has sought improper relations with Afro-American women and that not one of them has repulsed him. All about us we have sufficient eclيمies against white men to warrant us in the statement that "they can't stay on their side of the fence." But from the way the Mr. Dixon has been vilifying the whole rest we did think until he made this head statement that he was one white man who had no more love for colored women than Satan has for the Virgin Mary. If Mr. Dixon is making this statement from his own personal knowledge, we would like to have a list of the names of all the women with whom he has been intimately issued. It must be a lengthy one and if we would not have names and those if we could not get the entire race to dub these women as "heroes" and Thomas Dixon a "hero." This is a general statement, but it can be made and verified—Negro women are thousands of us who would wade in blood over our eyes in protection of our own virtue; there are thousands of us who would us who would live out our days in kindle blessness, even though they be double the give our hand in marriage to a white man. A venture to say that there is not a Negro woman or girl, especially in the South, is testimony against the members of Mr. Driou's race. If some Negro women would have tried to bribe them, how they wank up in their pockets, how they coin in their pockets, how they lay on street corners and watch colored women some of them have become sufficiently bold to approach them in the day time, their testimony would indeed be damaging. You would into a shop window without being disturbed by some white man. If colored women would speak of their women could they have for instance the greatest rascals that ever wore Colored-women are not the ones that answer to the question of their poverty and of the fact that an outray from a Negro woman is never heard by the public and that a man can be swung up in the morning and riddled with bullets. Yes, we are unprepared for the horrors of the world. But if it were left to some white men and a number of black ones for that matter, one would not be a virtuous Afro-American any more than there would be a virtuous white man. If all of them could be killed or left behind. Thank God that there are some virtuous women in both races and thousands of people in the virtue of the women of both races. There are women who will always remain in the virtue of the women of both races. There are women who will always remain in the virtue of the women of both races. There are not one Negro woman on earth who knows what virtue means, and allows to remain in the virtue of the women of both races. Then come forth declaring themselves an authority on Negro female charity for the Mr. Dixon said further. Then they never hear of a white man assailing a Negro woman by white men. There are two or three reasons for this, but not the one that makes it so. They never hear of it because Negro women never resist. Negro women are assaulted and outraged by white men, and people never call it by any such a grave name as assassination. Negro women are not kept their crimes out of the papers, but have their crimes out of the papers, but have all white men who assault Negro women. If Mr. Dixon has been on a cruise it is just possible that his victims were there are white men, who, if they could be induced to tell the truth, would say that they could not make such a charge as to kill them, there were some Negro women who reported their insults. Though the statement made by them means for us to understand that he is speaking from personal experience, in his rounds he simply picked his women or he was instituted as a witness. There are hundreds of Negro women who would have landed him in the middle of a river, but he did not find that some of the very women who are too ignorant to give him a satisfactory definition will give that they are not what the word means when he defines it to them. Most men who go out on virtue testing crusades, base though they are, think too much of themselves to make a personal confession and expose their victims, but you now see just how base some men are. If they have illicit relations with some women they dare attempt to malign all the women by saying that none of them are various. No, you never hear of these assaults, he came white men, like black men, commit them upon the lower class of women, the difference being that wheth black men commit outrages upon white women, even to prostitutes, an outery means a lending and the "thirly brute" is swing up and ribbed with bullets, or burned at the stake, but an outery from a Negro, woman when a white man commits an assault upon her means her death if she dare tell the story. Even if white men are arrested for assault, and they seldom are because the law protects them, their crime would never gain any publicity for the reason that there would be some kind of a mock trial and a dismissal of the case and the colored woman threatened to keep her mouth shut or be lodged in jail. The law dates a colored woman to prosecution. It is the method of punishment that gives publicity to an assault upon a white woman by a Negro the brute is arrested, and of such assault a white woman is sentenced to law is somewhat out of the ordinaries among civilized people. In the case an assault upon a white woman is prosecuted by a Negro; in the case of an assault by a white man upon a colored woman, the white man is prosecuted by a colored woman, and they are indicted to all the white men who may be inclined to commit such acts. The one is exposed, the other is prosecution. There are hundreds of us who will certainly be indicted if Thomas Dixon, Jr. dare so far To the Editor of THE NEW YORK ACAZ. Acting under the advice of FRIENDS I am to be permission through the medium of the press to address the ar"Bur" Thomas Dixon, Jr. M. DIXON, JR., SUR. I would not intentionally add to your potorotty or unwittingly insist your attentiveness and ridicules, advance the sale of seats for your olious melodrama. You have my sympathy. You are up a tree. You have failed to do what you had planned to do. Your play is a head, as you had reckoned on, or engaged in fools—which would have advanced the continued the even tenor of our ways. We judge from your actions and have warrant your financial expectations, otherwise you would not descend from your ministerial exhibitions as your own press agent. Sir, your play has done us good. It has shown us how to work with people. The man pretend it won't see your play. He was somewhat familiar with the occurrence of distorted faces and so poisoned by your sinuous stream of falsehood. that the only way he could be poisoned by himself in the form of a check for $10,000, handed to Booker T. Washington for forgiveness. Again I say you have made a friend. I chanced to be in Portsmouth on September 22 and 23. I saw your play on the stage. I saw the public. The Norfolk play, you and I remember, refused to stand for you and I (white) told you your play was written in hell and engineered by the devil. Representative Lozington, N.J., introduced a bill in the general assembly prohibiting the production of your play on the ground that it was not a public performance. The community, breeding hatred and race prejudice. You came from the South purported by the condemnation of press and pul But you did succeed in making the people down South take you seriously. Here in the North a sadder fate awaited you the fate of being laughed at. New York, you wise to your imported applauders, your well-drilled lands of paid enthusiasts. Some papers took you as a joke, others as an unscrupulous press agent of a shameful play, founded upon a more shameful book. They assured the misguided Afro-Americans who would ask the mayor to take you off the stage that where there was little braigs displayed there would be still less damage done. We extend the rope. You and time We thank The Sun for the masterly manner in which it dissected your vehicle of massive. It's the best we ever read. We take our hat off to Alan Dale for ignoring you entirely.

The Evening Post so incomparably reflected our own sentiments in phrases so delightful and inimitable. That we shall come with a richly rained of your play to meet and write on. "I'll opportunity, seldom and otherwise," so much do we admire it as a mirth producer. The Press declares you "a refined lyche." And The Tribune solemnly states that the only part of your play that would give you reputation for possessing dramatic ability above that of an ordinary school girl was the mesmeric scene; and that the very best you could do after two years' study of dramatic technique was to steal the whole business from the point of science of Mathies in "The Hills" as total by Henry Irving and to spoil good thing. The stress of the stengling. And The Herald dropped you as a "failure," and naive is says: "The only part worth while and the dominant feature of the piece were simply show of a Negro, mindless show. Sir, I was a Negro accused you of offering to pay the expenses of a colored indentation for your work. I was the purpose of protecting against the production of your play. We have warranted to believe you did pay so much biologics for colored indentation. Howitzer T. W. Washington ignored you as of little account and that your insulting tone had so much to hide. He had been so sounded and blackboarded, he would have gibbed you in your painful efforts to sell a few mats seats. Mr. Jr. we are aware to your desire. You would like a coward insult our women and good our men, publicize your insult and your poor tone, thus raised would civilize, advertise and help run a play that has not sufficient worth and world to stand on its own legs. We are laughing at you. " Day, Dixon, we are laughing because we know how most only below your expectations has been your reception here in New York. Your vivid imagination has played the words of the author at your ticket window that you would forsooth be compelled to hire the Hippodrome in order that New York senation-seekers might be feasted to their content. Your head, being empty of brain, will start to amputate and security your purposes, devoid of all good intentions, forebomed your play to the level of a fifth-rate melodrama and an early oblivion. You say you have a mission to perform. So it is selfimposed. You say you are not a child. The letter South has openly rejected you, as a member of the Red Shirt and Cracker "hypocrite" and "detractive" in strenuous quest for notoriety and贯 "pell" You say your play is an answer to "If you're Tim" (Tobin, Ali, etc.) you are fifty years too late. Harriet Booker Stowe and her audience are dead, and the issue is closed. Had you possessed sufficient intelligence to have built your play upon present conditions and facts you would have needed to be made by your author of "Elushism," Mrs. Stowe's play was founded upon a live issue then before the public and could not escape attention. You� reurret a fifty-year dead corpse, out-do a Barnum clown in your effort to draw public attention to a pitiful but, as a subject of your failure, a pitiful butt, an abject of scorn, ridicule and contempt. And the relic of the foal is the fact that the demise come from the South where they are better acquainted with you and more aware of the circumstances of your arrival than about the North.

RICHMOND, February 18—In setting forth the program of Afro-Americans of Richmond it is most appropriate to refer to the report of the State auditor of public accounts, and also to statistics obtained from the last United States census Reports. In his recent report to 'the general assembly of Virginia it is shown by the State auditor of public accounts that Afro-Americans in Richmond owned and were assessed last year on lots worth $770,321; an im- pression of $770,321; and on personally of all kinds, $307,535; making a grand total of $1,506,334. This amount does not include the properties owned by the twent-th Baptist, five Methodist, two Episcopal, one Presbyterian, one Congregational and one Roman Catholic congregations in the city. Nor does it include the properties well-equipped to support the school children home, one orphan asylum and one day nursery and kindergarten—properties not listed for taxation. These institutions are valued in round numbers at about $700,000, which would sum the total value of property owned by Afro-Americans up to nearly two and a quarter millions. This is a remarkable showing and an object lesson in thrift and business done by the young men and women who have had the advantages of an education have taken the lead. The population of Richmond according to the census of 1900 was $3,050, of which number 116 were Afro-Americans. While some of these children are rented or owned—others just in residence and beautiful and are luxuriously furnished. The Independent Order of St. Lake, next to the Reformers is the largest organization in the county, the reformers' treasurer, is its moving spirit. When she assumed the secretariatship some five years ago, the organization only its two paid bells were grown with a rapidity that has created the admiration of all. Like the True Reformers the organization has assumed National petroleum control or more states a number of dozen or more states in a number of states. The St. Lake Herald, a bank, the St. Lake Penny Savings bank; and an up-to-date department store in broad street, the major thoroughfare in the county, is located at 90002301 St. Lake Street in a spacious three story brick and granite building. This building contains the St. Lake organization as W. W. Field-grand worthy chief; Mrs. Margie L. Walker, the reformers' treasurer; and James H. Hays, an The Old Fellows have a large following, and although it one time owning two halls, for some cause of other perhaps intermixture understandings, lost them both. Past grand muster W. M. T. Forrester is the district secretary and he is uniting in his efforts to build up the fraternity in Richmond and the State. The Gallowan Fishermen and Knights of Dumnon are the other fraternal organizations. There are several other organizations of benevolent nature, the members of sick and death benefits, the members and heirs. Prominent among these are the Older and Beneficial Club, Astorias, Cougars, Thebans, Starleights, Messiah, Lincoln and several others, male and female. The savings bank of the True Reformers is the oldest Afro-American banking house in the city, having been chartered in 1889. It is capitalized at $100,000, the number of shares of stock being 20,000. The capital stock has all been superb. The market value of the shares of stock is $103,472.

It is capitalized at $25,000, of which $12,000 The 2000s and the 2001s are the most important events in the world of the world. The 1990s, Dr. H. E. Tremell, are capitalized at $10,000. Dr. H. E. Tremell is president of the U.S. and the U.S. and the U.S. are in Richmond four-in-a-inch companies. In the past, both firms and the two years ago there were several other companies operating in the same cities, but they were forced out of business by a status law which requires all insurance companies to make a deposit of $10,000 with the State treasurer as a security to policy holders. This is forced all the Afro-American companies in Richmond out of business but four, and these are more prosperous conditions. In addition to the $10,000, these companies pay a "fat tax of $200, a tax of one per cent, on premiums and a tax for publication. They have agencies in every section of the State and have paid hundreds of thousands of dollars for sick and death claims. Each of the four companies owns its own property and employs a large force of clerks, stenographers and agents. The membership of the four companies is about $300,000. Here is a list of the companies and their names: A. W. D. Price, president; T. Thomas M. Grump, secretary and general manager; and Walter Insurance company—E. Johnson, president; John T. Tayler, secretary and general treasurer; American Benedict Insurance company—W. F. Graham, president; B. F. Mire, W. F. Graham, treasurer; United Aid and Insurance company—J. E.

Debate Hla Status in Two Old Books. From The Springfield Rephibian: - The only lightly issued in a book of the Negro is that it proves to prove that the Negro is a beast and as such not possessed of an immortal soul. This is a fast apparently worthy of the attention of no serious person—representing merely a revival, on another line of argument, of various prosodyly efforts of the same kind, in the book that forms a volume in reps. written by H. P. Eastman, a Texas educator, born in Indiana, but of New England ancestry, his father having been a first cousin of Daniel Webster. Prof Eastman's book is entitled "The Negro; a book of the Negro," and the curvil volume in "The Negro a Rose," is being ridden in the South even among the Negro is having a demoralizing effect on them. So it is to such a biblical exoskeleton that the writer on this later volume devotes much attention to the much entertainment for those lost souls, the higher critics, for the later writer seens the importance of literary as well as the earlier, and the more difficult deal with him. Why, he asks, for example, to refer to the author from Genesis he referred to as "the" by Nerges? a Nerges? and so on through many pages more or less suit for general reading. The writer offers an effective author to play plays and have with Prof. Carnell's amurful demonstration, and his book ought to prove an effective author to himself the champion of the Nerges as more than an inferior class of human being. But he does not want to be a Nerges, but a intellectual stature, so that finally, seeing the homelessness of equality of consideration in white muskets and having become white dictation, he will move back toward the embodiment there of a great Nerges republic. This is Prof. Eastman's solution of the care problem, it has the merit at least of being a possible ultimate result. But the real importance of these two forms of punishment upon the intellectual condition of muses in the South, white as well as black. For muses, as we know, such theories as this put forth by Prof. Carson are whatsoever, let alone a wide reading and adventures, as we are told they do? Ecclesiastes 11:16-17, while element more in need of demonstrating its own claims to a place above the Negro is not a human being. Advancement in civilization is certainly not to be rested upon the disposition to rest the claim to superiority in disposition to rest the claim to whiteness of the skin. Washington and Business League Booker T. Washington has shown his devotion to his people by becoming an incorporator of the National Negro Business League. In thus acting, he reveals a sincere purpose to assist his race. He has reflected great credit upon his people, who are deserving of great praise, great man in ability and purpose, and only his race but all the people respect him. From The New York Times What we are only call the historical vitality of the President's mental activity was exemplified in his allocation to the students of the Industrial Institution at Mamoura, students at once and singers, who had sung him Negro songs. He quoted a great French literary man" to the effect that "there were but two chances for the development of schools of American music, and those would come, one from the colored people, and one from the vanishing Indian folk." It is quite true. We have not yet succeeded in Americanizing any imported European <school of music, as we have tremendously succeeded in Americanizing the arts. Our efforts thus far toward an American development of European music have been fait and belated imitations, much like the imitations of European literature in America half a century ago. The Colonial palmody inculcated by Lowell Mason and other zealous and deserving. Americans has not come to any new expression on these shores. Our forms," have been those who, like Mr. MacDowell, have taken aboriginal themes. The President is in error only, if at least one French literary man." He would have been on safer ground in scribbling it to a great German or at least Tobienian composer, but he would not have been, same authority in the world, on questions of music as French literary men on questioned the President's present thesis, not only in words, but in musical compositions, of which besides some striking works in French, he has written "From the New World," American audiences for a dozen years or so have ratified the composer's assertion that that was what some of the French literary men also some that the President might better have taken it from the German composer than the French literary man, the only "American" French literary man, the only from African or from aboriginal sources.

From The Evening Globe, Palmetto Flower through endless spring, Orange and phalaenin, citron, pine, Wealth of the ind from tree and vine, Prodigial each material thing. List, have you imagery and song And poesy in the rare south land? Can poesm draw through drowned days long, Have you reptil spirit divinely planned? Yes, with the warm red blood of man, We had a singer nobly wrought Out of the race once sold and bought Whose stream of poesy rose and ran Straight to the heart of black and white, Faultless as blooms, rich as flowers, He touched the harp strings sure and right. Rose leaves of verse my soul hath read, Ope not to day—Disbelief is dead. To the Editor of The New York Acq: That all men are created equal: that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights; that among those are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness; that to secure these rights governments are called the powers from the consent of the government; it was upon the solidity of these declarations that this republican Government of our was founded. The patriotic spirit of liberty inspiring and actuating the founders of this Government intended and decreed a Government resting close down upon the hearts and minds of the people, impounding lakes on us without our consent caused the end of the tyranny of the British king. The waves which swept over the cargo of tea hurled by the patriots into the ocean rolled upon the expanse of a great sea. The waves of enthusiasm inspiring the patriots were impelled upon just as mighty a deep, yearning sea, the unconquerable spirit which unbound American ship of State was given float. By the rightness of the cause impinging the fathers, by the just terms of the Declaration of Independence, no longer there are free men to uphold this cause of free men, the Declaration shall live and be upholded in the spirit. The citizen of this Republic acceded to the Declaration of Independence with greater rights or privileges than any other citizen; and no citizen, or class of citizens, endowed with greater rights or privileges than are the rights and privileges of all. It was inevitable that later certain Amendments were affixed to the Constitution because of the slavery conditions that had been imposed upon the nation. It came in absolute accord with the highest and noblest conception of individual rights and human liberty. The force which moved men in America to strike the shackles from the Afro-American slave cunning from the same loot said which gave utterance and power to the Declaration of Independence. The cause of independence is what most caused slavery in America to end. There is nothing clearer under the same than that the Declaration of Independence together with the terms of the Constitution, political being into sovereign American citizenship. It is equally clear that an independent our Constitution and flag, is endowed with rights or privileges superior to other sovereign citizens, has the Constitution to deny to any other sovereign citizen the unalienable which scribes in the Constitution, which scribes in the Nation. The "War Amendments" are an affirmation and confirmation of the Nation's duty to the citizen, emphasizing the supremacy of the Constitution. In the declaration contained in the Federal Constitution that "the United States is a republican form of government" Nelson declared the natural import that the State has into the political government of and by its American citizenship. Ours being a government dominated by so-vereign citizenship, through the mechanism of the humanitarian action, has been the source of governing authorities. The State, the administration of government, a State, has no more right under the right of the government to accept a legal of one citizen except for crime if it has to disfranchise any other action. If some may be disfranchised by the State'sAXN of the government, the future of State legislation is overdue, running of State legislation, and, provision, then why may not other translied by some other devices be applied to the unseized one. Any foreign citizen may be disfranchised by any other class may be if one, if not, may not any and will. The citizens of the State will be rights to the period of the State income of the citizens in the several States, the questionable language of the F.A.S.A. situation. This declaration makes with a strong difference with the government in the sovereign government. Republic. This clause of the F.A.S.A. situation must have sucrang to the States and the rights of the citizens of the country. It should be beyond any question and above any risk. To dispost, the Congress can enact legislation of being the class of constitution which desire the same National citizenship. It is with the A.S. can people to determine whether or not Congress may come to the other point. Alexander C. A. McMillan, 1851 Himalight on Amalgamation 1965 The World printed a letter from The Dixon last week in which the author "The Glossman" consolidated that Bode Washington "is not honest or since the issue of social quality and face our genomation." We have resolved from a Bookken muster remarkable letter in support of the thesis. She informs us that "it is no question of slavery or education today, is a question of intermerriage. Which is it?

When it is no longer a question of slavery or citizenship the Dixons bring in the body of race amalgamation as a general argument against the encouragement of Negro education and progress. One race cannot "amalgamate" alone, and for ourselves we do not believe that the white people of the United States are seriously disposed to misogenation. We never know a Southern man or a Northern man who found that his daughter would mark a Negro or that his son would marry a婢. Without such intermarriage there can be no amalgamation. But if Mr. Dixon has misgivings as in his ability to maintain his own racial purity, no doubt the entire country would be glad to do as much for him as Lincoln offered ( Sociableness Devoted to the Game of Altration of Nineteen—Conduct in Treatment of Native Under Taft and Bright Rentimes—American Women Great Offenders—Higher Chance of Americans (includes Must.

Chairman of the Republican Campaign Committee has fully decided to retire therefrom, and in the event a new chairman shall be chosen as the successor of Hina, J. W. Babcock of Wisconsin, no one would fill the bill with more ability than Hon. James A. Tawney. Mr. Tawny is one of the foremost Republican leaders now in Congress, and is a vigorous and tactful organizer. He represents young and stalwart element of the Republican party in the last few years to keep the party in power. He is a plain, blunt American citizen, and his familiarity with the game of successful-American politics is little less mature. He knows how to get the vote when it matters. He is able experience in the Congressional contests as a lieutenant to Mr. Babcock. He is adroit and knows the political map of the country second to no man in political life, and he is a strong leader of the Republican Congressional Committee's minute knowledge of things and men would prove a telling factor when the fight begins. He is still a young man and would naturally be the young and sturdy element of the Republican Congressional Committee in the States. He is liked by all classmates in the section from which he halls, especially by the colored voters in the middle West. We hope Mr. Tawny will be chosen; if he is it will be to the rank and file of the party, especially the rank and file in the Congressional districts. Mr. Tawney has climbed to his present political influence by sheer hard labor in the political field and represents in Congress the ways a resident of that State, however, but migrated there from Pennsylvania in 1877, settling in Winna, Minnesota, where he had even been a resident. In 1890 he was elected the State Senator of Minnesota and for the first time to the Fifty-third Congress. He has been re-elected every time, and his talents as an organizer was also a great asset. He ago as the Republican "white" of the House of Representatives among the Republicans. His star still seems to be in the ascendency. Now is the opening of the present Congress, and he is the chairman of the great Appropriations Committee of the House—this committee, perhaps, requiring greater executive ability than any other in the House of Representatives. The Republican party, therefore, could make no better choice for the head of its Congressional Campaign Committee than the leader of the lower branch of Congress. DEATH OF "FATHER" TINNEY.

On Monday evening, February 12, 5 pleas ant surprises was tendered to Mr. and Mrs. Charles Thomas of 53 Sixth avenue. The surprise being the twentieth anniversary of their marriage, Mrs. Thomas had been invited to dinner in Brooklyn on February 12 and when she returned home she soon met to her husband by a gathering of friends she greeted her entrance with mode and applause. Mme. J. Napolon recited and their was instrumental and vocal memoranda. The successive meetings enjoyed. Mr. and Mrs. Thomas received many pretty and useful conveniences.

In selecting an All-Western football team, E. C. Patterson in last week's Collier's objects Mr. Marshall, an Afro-American who is a member of the Minnesota community, commented on the fact that Mr. Patterson "very few gains have been made around his (Marmall's) end this year. He is quick in discerning and in carrying the ball he made consistent gains." Joe Gana, lightweight champion of the world, is having troubles of many kinds these days. It is an impossibility for Gana to secure a match of any kind. He has cleaned up his class thoroughly, so thoroughly, in fact, that all white claimants for his title fight sigh of him. Gana has not only put all the best men of the light weight class away but has settled the troubles of many a welterweight. He could with little effort have won the time to come. Walcott having retired from the ring undefeated in a real championship fight, leaves Gana the most formidable man in the welterweight claim. Gana compares McOwern and a very few others, who risen from one championship to another. His first world's title was the lightweight, which he gained by beating Frank Erne at Fort Erie, several years ago. His recent defeat of Mike Hall will give him the welterweight championship. Gana is probably the cleverest of all fighters now in the fighting game; he is not a dugong. His punch is like a flash, and always has the knockout drop at the end. He is never rattled, never let an opening battle to him happen, and he battles to fit the moment. He is the most finished ringster that ever stepped inside the squared circle. When he goes in to win, he makes it look like a ring. Uncertain fights he has engaged in recent years that makes it tickish speculating about his ring. This uncertainty always will keep Gana the ground of popularity among famous fighters. The situation regarding a match with a battling Nelson is best as for season 11 of the New York Journal-SAN FRANCISCO, February 11.—Which is the most attractive puligicid card in sight? It is the one that has been put to numbers of sporting men who are supposed to be thoroughly posted as to the "temper of the times," and the reply is the same—Joe Gnus and Battling Nelson. When Promoter Jim Coffroff returned from the Springs the other night he was asked to have my opinion as to "which is the most attractive card," but it's not in sight," was Coffroff's answer. When he explained: "A match between Gunnard Nolan would create more interest just now than an event which had Jeffries for a principal," said Coffroff. "It is an impossible match, though, and I will make it." My information on the subject dates back to the night Jimmy Gardner and Buddy Rynk boxed at Colina. Coming home on the club's special car Nolan and I sat in the lobby with Nolan. Our conversation was about as follows: "A great fighter, Gardner, just he?" he remarked Nolan. "He's a good man." I replied. "But there's one man can beat him!" continued Nolan. "Who do you mean?" "Joe Gans." "What Gans would have trouble making the weight that Gardner would ask," 1 ventured. "Don't ever believe it. said Battling Nelson's manager. "Gans can make 133 at any age." "He can make 133 at any age, until he puts his foot in the ring, and at that weight he can lie every white-skinned tightweight in the business to day." "That's the whole story," said Cofforth. "He's a man who has a heart and loves it. That is why I think it next to impossible to get Gans and Nelson together." Ben Selig, who is Ganss's San Francisco agent, was told of Coffrith's remarks, and he said: "I can give you more perturbation than I can give you more suspicion." Saulsalito on the ferry with Billy Nolan one day, and the talk turned to fighting. He rattled off the names of the men he thought Nolan could go through like suit-crime, a chink, and then he paused and pondered: "But there's one fellow Nolan will never box as long as I have a say in it," mused Nolan. That's what he said. Nolan must be muscled in that man when there's nothing but defeat staring him in the face." HOUSEHOLD TRAINING FOR GIRLS. Branch of Brooklyn Y. W. C. A.

MAD DIED SAVING MISTRESS. Eliza Virginia, the Afro-American mid-employed by Mrs. F. B. Tallman, of 272 Fourth avenue, went downstairs Wednesday night of last week and found the basement alabaz. She ran up stairs to awaken her Mrs. Tallman, who was screaming. Mrs. Tallman screamed out at the window for help, and after some time was rescued, half-suffaced, by firemen and sent to Bellevue hospital. She will recover. It was only when the fire was about out of firemen four and lying dead from suffocation near the window from which her mistress was rescued. THEATRICAL NOTES The Memphis Students, an aggregation of talented singers and musicians, with Miss Abigail Mitchell at their head, is scoring a big show. The students have carried everything before them. They have visited different parts of England, France and are now playing a most successful engagement in an all-star backtracking engagement at Hoover studio with Ernest Hogan as their star. Reports from abroad give great praise to the work of Miss Mitchell, Ida Farron, Henry Wiley, Slater and Williams, and Tilly Agnew.

Hilly Mitchell and her wife are appearing in London and have won popular favor by their unique and original sketches. From The National Baptist Union. Our attention has been called in a very significant and striking manner to the objects and labor's of the Afro-American Council. We note that the Rev. L. G. Jordan, corresponding secretary of our Foreign Mission board, is also corresponding secretary of this organization, and that he is exerting himself most diligently with the hope that it may fill the place he deserves to fill, and do the good for which he is called. For the actual object of the Council, "for which it deserves the highest commendation, is its untiring effort to test the constitutionality of the Constitution, passed by the legislatures of the various Southern States. These laws are unconstitutional. A stiff, rigid, energetic and incessant fight against them on the part of the Constitution, passed by the fact that they are unconstitutional, and that they cannot stand the test. It takes money, however, to fight the battles of the race, and there is no source expected to come except from the Negroes selfs. The Council is appealing to one million Negroes for one dollar each. This dollar could be given, and a million dollars could be given to the least bit of injury to anybody who contributes. With one million dollars in its hands the Council could make a long, long list of sympathies of white people who believe in simple justice and equality before the law, but it could enlist in this service some of the shrewdest, most capable and most constitutive legal lawyers in this country. The objects of the Council are fraught with much wisdom. The cause that they present is that they are the people. The great question, as 'in all matters of this kind, is, Will the Negroes treat themselves right, will they pay earnest effort, will they put up the money that is necessary for their defense in this matter? Let us hope that they will. At all times, we must be careful, we are weary, we revolutions do not come in a day; it requires a great deat of patience and sacrifice to deal effectively with the knot-thread of citizenship hazardous in this country. Let the authorities of the Afro-American Council exercise this patience: let them pursue the even tenor of their way because they are not the cause is right, their contention is just, their methods are wise, and their fight cannot be in vain. We are in very great sympathy with this organization, and in whom it is trying to serve. Therefore we admonish Negroes everywhere to rally to the call of the Council, encourage it by money that they need and by money that they need to prosecute their clims. The Negro race has never had anything except for which it fought, and it seems now as if they will never get the stulthorn protest of Southern legislatures, and the amazing silence of Northern white friends. The Negro must fight his own battles; it must be done through his Council is a high type of manhood and bravery. It believes in the power of self-exertion. If the race clings to it and supports it in the proper measure, much more will be accomplished and prophesied of the good time to come will not be in vain. CHINESE COMMISSIONERS AT YALE.
