VOL. XIX. No. 38. HYPOCRISY IN PHILIPPINES Fear of Sale to Japan Makes Whites Flatter the Natives. Though Warned Against Rule of Upstart and Infidel Mikado, They Only Shrug Special Correspondence of THE AGE. MANILA, P. I., May 30.—Considering its utter, lack of foundation, the report that the United States Government contemplates selling the Philippine Islands to Japan has stirred up an almost incredible excitement here among the white men who are living off the fat of the archipelago. The most comical effect of their agitation is the frantic overtures of friendship they have suddenly begun to make to the Filipinos, their contempt for whom they have hitherto made no bones of exhibiting in the coarsest forms. Hitherto, for instance, The Manila American has been quite rabid in its hatred for the natives. It has seldom let slip an opportunity to insult them with the charge of inferiority. Its gibes at the expense of their ambition for self-government became maxims among a certain class. It has ventured more than once to flay the Government for its lapses into an apparent pacifictory attitude toward the natives. But now, presto change! A miracle has been worked. The American, terrorized by the possibility of Japanese suzerainty here and the consequent ruin of Anglo-Saxon domination in the Philippines, has discovered that the Filipino is bung lost brother. It is even talking in alliance of the "veterans"—meaning white carpetbaggers—and the Filipino people to resist even to the extremo rebellion the imposing of Japanese rule upon the islands. Every struggling preacher has converted his pulpit into a political stump, and is vociferously warning the natives against permitting an upstart barbarian and infidel Mikado to secure domination over them. The apprehensions of the whites are greatly aggravated by the hints which dexterous Filipinos now and then utter about their "affinity with the North Indians," and their having "been kept too long already from our brothers." The majority of the natives receive the belated advances of the whites with silent, polite incredulousness. The American's denunciation of the Japanese as "an Oriental race that would crush every hope in the Filipino heart" is met by the Filipinos with a fitting elevation of the eyebrows. The joke is that the Americans are convicting themselves of hypocrisy with entire gratuitousness. The islands, of course, will not be sold to Japan; and when the Americans are convinced of this it will be curious to see their ardor of friendship for the Filipinos suddenly freeze, and all their hot air about "alliances against impertinent heatens" instantaneously dissipated. So War Department Sidetracked Black Regular From Encampment. El P480, Tex., July 8.—A telegram from the War Department to-day ordered the battalion of the Twenty-fifth Infantry, now stationed here, to cease preparations to attend the instruction camp at Austin. The telegram also stated that the headquarters and two other battalions of the regiment which had been ordered to proceed direct from Fort Niobrara, Nob., to Austin, for the encampment, after which the two battalions were to go to Fort McIntosh and Brown, have also been ordered to their stations direct. No cause is given, but the officers believe that objections were made by the Texas officials to the Afro-Americans attending the encampment. Texas militia officers feared collisions between Afro-American regulars and the militia, it is understated.

Special Sum for Afro-American End of Jamestown Exposition. RICHMOND, Va., July 7.—Giles B. Jackson's paper announces to-day that one item in the Sunday Civil bill enacted by Congress just before its adjournment was an appropriation of $100,000 to aid the Negro in creating a special feature at the Jamestown Exposition, known as the Negro exhibit. Col. Jackson's organ is vociferous in praise of Senator Daniel and Representative Maynard of Virginia, who are credited with putting the appropriation through. A reasonable proportion of the $100,000 will be used to erect a suitable building in which to house the Afro-American exhibit; and the remainder will be expended for such objects as may be approved by the FedEx.1 Commission and the Negro Development and Exposition company, of which Jackson is the director-general. DR. DUBOIS PUT FOOT IN HIS MOUTH AT HAMPTON Criticized Rosevelt, Friell and Peabody, Three Good Friends. HAMPTON, Va., July 7—Doctor Du Bois of the Niagara Movement spoke here during the Hampton Conference, and had the very bad taste to criticise adversely the work of Hampton Institute and also President Roosevelt. Every one who heard the address felt that he showed poor taste, to say the least. Any one who attempted to criticise the work of Dr. Frissell and George Foster Peabody, two of the best friends of the race, is making a grave error. One thing for these men to display "manhood" would be to refuse to accept from Mr. Peabody, who is the treasurer for Hampton, a contribution toward their salary. People are growing tired of the kind of man who will one minute condemn a white man and the very next minute beg from this same white man money or a position. After Dr. Du Pois finished his lecture, he went to the office of the Treasurer of Hampton Institute and got money to defray his travelling expenses. CARTER YOUNGEST MAN IN CONSULAR SERVICE Appointee to Sizna, Turkey, Only 28 Years Old—Here Last Week. Hon. James G. Carter, of Brunswick, Ga., the President's nominee for United States consul at Sizna, Turkey, ran up to New York last week from Washington, where he had been on business. Mr. Carter, who is only 28 years old, is said to be the youngest man ever appointed to the United States consular service. He graduated from Tuskegee Institute in 1897, and has since been managing The Brunswick Herald and running a prosperous tailor establishment. He is a member of the executive committee of the National Negro Business League, and the League's State organizer in Georgia. He has recently been appointed general superintendent of the Afro-American exhibit in connection with the Georgia State fair to be held next November. SERGEANT HILL REGULAR Officer of 24th Infantry Made Percentage of 80.33. WASHINGTON, July 10.—The complete records of rifle, pistol and carbine firing of the United States army for 1905, which were recently published, show Abraham Hill, a sergeant in the 24th Infantry, stationed in the Department of Dakota, to be the best shot in the army. The percentage of possible shots made by him on slow fire, timed fire and skirmish fire was 80.33. The 24th Infantry is, of course, one of the four Afro-American regiments in the regular army. Releases Afro-American Before Eyes of Women's Relatives. RICHMOND, Va., July 10.—A sensation was created in a Henrico, Va., magistrate's court when John Meredith, an Afro-American, was given a preliminary hearing on the charge of criminal assault on Mrs. L. L. Blake, a young white woman, who alleged that the attempt was successful. After two hours' investigation behind closed doors the magistrate released the prisoner, holding that the Afro-American was not guilty of criminal assaults. The husband and brothers of the woman attended the trial. "LIBERIA ENTERING NEW EPOCH"—BISHOP HARTZELL But, He Discourages Wholesale Emigration From the South. The Methodist Episcopal bishop for Africa, Rev. Joseph C. Hartzell, who recently returned from Liberia after an absence of two years in Africa, is very hopeful for the black republic, in which the repatriated Afro-Americans and their descendants now number 18,000, and with a few thousand civilized natives form the governing class. "Liberia, which has led, hitherto, a rather precarious existence," said the bishop, "is now entering upon a new epoch. An English company has been granted large mining and rubber concessions, in return for which the government has secured a loan of $500,000. With this sum, it is intended to pay the debts of the republic, to establish a national bank and to open up the interior." Bishop Hartzell said he would not advocate the wholesale emigration of Afro-Americans from the Southern States. There are not openings in Liberia, he said, for many settlers, and trade and other conditions are unfavorable for the reception of many immigrants at a time. NEW YORK, THURSDAY, JULY 12, 1906. RISE AGAINST MAD LEADERS Frantic Agitation, With Influx From South, Makes Affairs Highly Serious. BOSTON, MASS., July 8.—Your correspondent here has heard many words of approval concerning the facts brought out in his recent letter. The fact is that the sensible Afro-Americans are sick and tired of the propaganda advocated by Trotter and his band of "Niagara Movers." In the first place, they consider it insulting to themselves to be led by an ex-poisoner any longer. Some good results in the shape of facts are being brought to tight by this agitation. Take, for instance, the recent agitation regarding Ransom. It has forced the Rev. Dr. Callis, of the Columbus avenue church, to take a decided position. Dr. Callis is the pastor of one of the finest and best congregations here and is in every respect a clean and able man; but at first, it is to be regretted, he, like so many other, public men, out of fear of drawing abuse and criticism from Trotter, coquetted with him. Evidently Dr. Callis had forgotten that it was in the Columbus avenue church that Trotter insulted the Afro-Americans of Roston and the country, sprinkled red pepper over the pulpit and tried to prevent the program, which the pastor had prepared, from being carried out. It was in this church that Trotter tried to create a riot so that the police had to be called to quell this disturbance. In this connection it may be remembered that this crowd, led by Trotter, planned to cut the electric light wires in Dr. Duckery's church in Cambridge, to light a bonfire in front of the church so to call out the fire department, create a stumpade and break up a meeting. These are the kind of men that have been soaking to lead the Afro-Americans here. But it is encouraging to note that the citizens are having their eyes opened, and are ready to revolt against this kind of leadership. Some of the members resent the fact that this man is allowed to be in their church with drunkenness in many cities. If the officers of the Charles street church continue to allow this man and men like Trotter to lead them it will fall irretrievably, from its high position. Every one here knows that Trotter has but one object, and that is to try to tear down and destroy the efforts of Afro-Americans who are trying to benefit the race and do something along constructive lines. Sensible Afro-Americans are beginning to see that if a man or men live descent, respectable lives there is no need of explaining their actions. Above all, a minister should live such a life that his conduct would never call for an explanation. The situation is growing more and more serious here. This continual agitation is driving our best white friends from us and the large influx of Afro-Americans from the South will make the situation worse if they are not brought under the proper influence. Frantic agitation is driving our best friends from us. VIGILANCE COMMITTEES TO SUPPRESS CRIMINALS Texas Afro-American Farmers Hot After Despoilers of Women. HOUSTON, Tex., July 7. - The first organized effort ever made by Afro-Americans to suppress the criminal class which, more than anything else, has injured them in the eyes of the country, was initiated here this week by the Colored Farmers' Convention, which established vigilance committees for different parts of the State to run down and prosecute Afro-Americans guilty of criminal assaults. They were induced to take this step by 75 alleged cases of $US$ crime within fourteen months. If these vigilance committees succeed in their aims, not only should this crime be greatly diminished, but many lynchings should be headed off. $14,000 DEPOSITS THE RECORD FOR BANK'S FIRST WEEK Auspleutous Opening of Memphis Trust Company. MEMPHIS, Tenn., July 5.—The Solvent Savings Bank and Trust Company, capitalized at $25,000, throw open its doors for business last Monday. The opening was characterized by an unusually large crowd of visitors, who expressed admiration at the handsome two-story building with a front of stone and white pressed brick. The interior is fitted throughout with urethane furnishings and fixtures. The people have shown that they appreciate the expense under which the management has labored in making the bank a credit to the city and an honor to the race, for they came forward with over $14,000, which was deposited in the bank in various sums during the week. Great credit is due the president, Col. R. R. Church, and the cashier, Mr. Reuben W. Ware, for the business-like methods that mark the beginning of this financial institution. Young People's Congress to Meet. WASHINGTON, July 10.—The Negro Young People's Christian and Educational Congress will meet here on July 31 to August 15. Its founder, Dr. I. Garland Penn, has worked hard to make the session significant. Rumer of Starling Innovation Comes From San Jose (Bill. It is said that the Afro-American voters of the Thirteenth assembly district, in which San Juan Hill is located, will run an Afro-American candidate for the Assembly in the fall. They believe that if they stick together, they can accomplish this election, which would startle New York. WHITE PAVERS STRIKE FOR AFRO-AMERICAN FELLOWS When Latter Were Discriminated Against, Whole Union Quit. On last Thursday New York was treated to the extraordinary spectacle of white union men striking to compel a company of contractors to recognize the Afro-American members of the union. The Cecelia Asphalt Paving company, which has the contract for paving the square around Cooper Union, began by filling the plages of the Afro-American pavers and rammersmen with Irish and Germans. Immediately Mr. James I. Warface, the Afro-American agent of the International Union of Pavers and Rammersmen, reported to the officers of the union that his men were not getting a square deal. "Then we'll call out all of our union members," replied the officers; and in a short while nearly, all the white workmen laid down thier tools. The superintendent of the company hustled to the spot post haste and tried to persuade the white men to go back to work. "Beat it," replied they, "unless you give us a written guarantee to recognize all the members of our union, black as well as white." "I'll give you the letter to-morrow at 10 o'clock," conceded the contractor. "Then we'll go back to work to-morrow at 10 o'clock," said the union men. The next day the letter was forthcoming, and all the men triumphantly went back to their tools. REPUBLICANS "JIM CROW" BOSS COUNCILMAN POSTLES At Addicka Dinner in Philadelphia— He's Still With Democrate. WILMINGTON, Del., July 8.—The alliance with the Democrats of Thomas E. Postles, the Afro-American who holds the balance of power in the city council of Wilmington, is not likely to be shaken by an affront which he received last Thursday night at the dinner given by J. Edward Addicks at the Union League club of Philadelphia. Among the invited guests were Mr. Postles and Charles H. Cgblurn, an Afro-American of this city, who is a member of the Union Republican State Committee. When they went to the League with the other guests they were informed that it was against the rules of the organization for Afro-Americans to dine there. Addicks had overlooked this fact, and he apologized to his Afro-American guests. He took Postles and Colbourn to a nearby hotel, where he had a banquet served to them alone. Mayor Wilson and other leading Regular Republicans of Wilmington are trying to induce Councilman Postles to leave the Democrats, with whom he made a deal last year. They offer the Afro-Americans additional patronage if Postles will join with his six white Republican colleagues to oust all Democratic office-holders elected by the Council. Postles' friends say he will not forsake the Democrats. SPECIAL TRAIN PLANNED FOR BUSINESS LEAGUE . MEN Pullman Sleeper and Diner From Washington to Atlanta. WASHINGTON, July 10.—Hon. Cyrus Field Adams, travelling agent of the National Negro Business League, has arranged for a special train from Washington to Atlanta for the use of delegates to the League meeting in August. The train will leave Washington via the Seaboard Air Line railroad on August 27 at 6:25 p. m., reaching Atlanta the next afternoon at 3:30 o'clock. The train will be composed of a baggage car, day coach and Pullman sleeping and dining cars. Delegates will be picked up at the different stations in the South. A very low rate has been secured for this occasion. Further information may be secured from Hon. Cyrus Field Adams, 931 S street, N. W., Washington; at 1183 Broadway, New York city; or from a representative of the Seaboard Air Line railway. ALABAMA WOMEN'S CLUBS WANT BOYS' REFORMATORY Meeting to Further This Project—Other Matter Discussed. BIRMINGHAM, Ala., July 9.—The first session of the Colored Women's State Federated clubs met here last week. Among the prominent members and speakers present were Mrs. Booker T. Washington, Miss Cornelia Bowen, principal of the Mt. Meigs school at Waugh, and Dr. Petitford, president of the Penny Savings Bank here. The organization of mothers' meetings, temperance work, physical training of children, the saving habit and juvenile reading were discussed. One of the objects of the convention is to further the movement already begun of building a State reformatory for boys. The officers are: Miss Cornelia Bowen of Mt. Meigs, president; Mrs. Rose Shepherd Caldwell of Mobile, secretary; and Mrs. Lenn F. Hadinut of Birmingham, treasurer. Apply for License to Teach. BIRMINGHAM, Ala., July 7.—The State examinations for teachers in the public schools of Jefferson county began this week. The total number of applicants reached 164—127 being whites and 37 Afro-American. The subjects were agriculture, reading, orthography, physiology, geography, arithmetic, English grammar, United States history and Alabama history. THE LATEST PICTURE OF SECRETARY TAFT. p14 01 SPOKE AT,GREENSBORO MONDAY,URGING BREAKING UP OF SOLID SOUTH. Separate Coach Haunt of Refuse of Passengers-Attempt to Better It. RICHMOND, Va., July 9. - At the recent meeting of the State Negro Business League in Newport News a committee was appointed to take up with the railroads of the State the matter of "Jim Crow" cars. The Afro-American element of Virginia's population is as independent as her white citizens. They have not the slightest desire to go where they are not desired, especially where the prejudiced Bourbons and poor whites foregather. What they do demand, though, is accommodations equal to those given the whites. This they do not have. It was for this very reason that Afro-Americans of the South were favorable to the Foraker amendment to the Railroad Rate bill. Railroad travel in Virginia is not separate and equal, as the law orders, but really divided into first and second class—Afro-Americans pay in fares for the former and receiving in accommodations the latter. Compartments provided for Afro-Americans are dark, dingy and dirty, and usually occupy one third, more or less, of an ordinary express car. There is but a single laboratory and toilet for the use of both sexes. The smoking room is a box on the opposite side of the aisle from the toilet and will accommodate only four persons. The compartment is also made the common rendezvous of the entire train's crew, including conductor, porter, brakeman, newsboy and workmen in greys overall. The workmen occupy seats with the passengers, cat peanuts, their "snacks," bananas, etc., and litter the floor and seats with hats, skins and crumbs. This is an actual fact. To add to this discontinuity, on local trains, on which the sportsmen go to and fro to their hunting and fishing grounds, the remaining portion of the coach, which is the baggage car, is used for the dogs and whatsoever of the catch or baggage the sportsmen may have along with them. All of this must be brought through the colored compartment to reach the baggage car. The door between the two compartments is usually kept open, and the sportsmen are easily seen eating, drinking, smoking and playing cards; and their rishabi feasts, not always couched in the chosen language, are plainly to be heard. This is the first-class accommodation which, according to Senator Tillman's contention on the floor of the Senate of the United States, Afro-Americans traveling in the South receive and with which they are satisfied. A more fragrant falsehood was never uttered. The fact that this inequality in accommodations is to be taken up by our State Business League means that there is every probability of some amelioration of existing conditions, as the League represents the real worth of the Afro-Americans of the State. Silence of Representative Rogers. ATLANTA, GR., July 9.—Georgia's one Afro-American member of the legislature has but little to say when bills of whatever kind are up for discussion. In fact, Hon. W. H. Rogers seems to think that for himself "silence is golden" in the balls of state. Probable He Will Retain Place on National Committee. AUGUSTA, Ga., July 9.—As yet Hon. J. W. Lyons, ex-Register of the Treasury, has not returned to Georgia to live though it is said that he will do so in a short time. It is well known that Mr. Lyons was quite successful at the practice of law before he was appointed Register of the Treasury, and it is thought that he would soon build up a lucrative practice in this city, where he will be located. It is understood that in addition to his Augusta office he will have a Washington connection. Mr. Lyons, it will be recalled, is the only Afro-American member of the National Committee, which honor he has held for something over eight years. Notwithstanding there has been talk in the past of displacing him with a white man, it is not at all probable that such a thing will occur. Process of Afro-American Tanner Sad Fate of One Who Spied. GLOVERVILLE, N. Y., July 10.—Mr. George Carliss, and Afro-American, head tanner for the Miller Brothers company here, is said to be the only man who knows how to make patent leather which will not crack. At any rate, his firm guarantees the leather which he makes "not to crack." This process is the invention of Mr. Carliss who keeps it a dead secret. It is said that even the firm for which he works does not perfectly know how he does it. Three years ago a rival firm tried to steal the secret. A spy was sent to investigate the Afro-American's chemicals; and while monkeying with them got blown up for his pains. Mr. Carliss makes a good salary. He hails from Fairhaven, near Red Jank, N. J. WOMAN CHANGES STORY: MAY SAVE MAN'S NECK Her First Testimony Caused Conviction on Charge of Rupe. FORT SMITH, Ark., July 5.—The claim is made that there is now in the possession of an attorney an affidavit made before Justice of the Peace Edmonson hereby Mrs. Annie Hartley, who is said to have caused the conviction of Gavon Board, an Afro-American, who is under sentence to hang at Helena, on July 18 for criminal assault. According to the story, Mrs. Hartley places an entirely different phase upon the case and exorcates Board. It is said that J. I. Altschul of Little Rock discovered that Mrs. Hartley was in Fort Smith. An effort will be made to stay the execution of Board at Helena in order that the new phase may be looked into. If, as seems probable, the Afro-American is innocent, an application for clemency will be made to Governor Davis. Board was sentenced to be changed at Helena on February 9 last, but took an appeal to the Supreme Court. There was believed to be great danger of mob violence, and a warning was issued that any persons attempting to lynch Board pending disposition of the case by the Supreme Court would be held in contempt and punished accordingly. A few weeks ago the Supreme Court affirmed the conviction of Board, and on June 23, pursuant to the final judicial decree, the governor designated. July 18 as the day for his execution at Helena. If the truth of the report from Fort Smith is established to the satisfaction of the governor there will undoubtedly be some action toward saving the condemned man's neck. I's Best [In with Republi can Party. Impartial Disfranchisement Not Bad—What About It When Cause Is Color? GREENSPORO, N. C., July 10.—Secretary of Wär William Howard Taft spoke at a mass meeting of 3,000 persons here last night. His speech is considered significant, being reported to have received the imprimature of President Roosevelt. Secretary Taft's address was a very forceful argument, in which common sense and facts were marshalled against obsolete prejudice and sentiment, for the destruction of the institution known as the Solid South. As one practical disadvantage of their hidebound devotion to the Democratic party, he reminded the Southerners that, when the Republican party is in power they are almost without official representatives in the higher spheres of political life. He frankly ridiculed their credulity in allowing them to be frightened by the "Negro domination" bogy. He declared that the time has come when the South can be no longer sectional, but must be National in its interests. Its prosperity, intertwined with that of the rest of the country, its participation in the Spanish-American war, its business dependence upon the protective tariff, its direct interest in National enterprises like the Panama Canal—all these, said he, tend to compel the South to a broader outlook. But one reason, said he, for the universal allegiance to Democracy in the South has been the selfishness of Southern Republicans, who, voracious for office and zealous only for their own advancement, have neglected to make the party in that section high-toned and lofty enough to attract recruits. He said he believed the Republican party would be better off in North Carolina if all the Federal offices were held by Democrats. The Secretary touched briefly on Afro-American distranchism, which he did not explicitly condemn "A policy," said he, "which excludes from the ballot impartially both the black and white, when ignorant and irresponsible, cannot be criticized." This "perhaps implies that a policy may be criticised which excludes illiterate blacks and admits illiterate whites; and this policy is notoriously that of all the South. But the Secretary went on to assert that even the cloud of disfranchisement on the sole ground of color has a silver lining for Afro-Americans. When they do get their suffrage, said he, they will get it through intelligence and industry, and will thereby have more influence than under an unrestricted suffrage. But if we insisted that all American voters be intelligent and industrious, what an immense falling off there would be in the lists of voters all over the country! The Secretary's remarks bearing on the race problem follow: The South has been kept solid by the spectre of Negro domination and by attiring up racial prejudice and arousing unbounded alarm over an impossible return of reconstruction days. After a long struggle the history of which I shall not repeat, the Negro vote was made to count for political leaders and to constitute political leaders of the dominant party came to realize the dreadful demoralization of all society that followed in a government if law was flouted and fraud was to constitute its basis. They cast about to make the law square with the existing condition by property and educational qualifications that should exclude the Negro. The law should exclude the South's institutions, with the so-called "grandfather clauses," intended to apply the new qualifications to the Negro, and not to apply them to the whites. A policy which excludes from the ballot impartially both the black and white, when ignorant and irresponsible, cannot be criticized. Conceded to the ignorant white voter, though equally unittied for the franchise, to exercise it. I do not think that this makes a hopeless situation for the colored man or to allow the ignorant white voter, though equally unittied for the franchise, to exercise it. I do not think that this makes a hopeless situation for the colored man or to allow the ignorant white voter, though equally unittied for the franchise, to exercise it. As under the public educational institutions he is likely to do, and if industrially he becomes a power, as his progress thus far justifies us in believing that he will, the men of the race who are eligible to vote in accordance with law will increase, and their common sense will add weight to the vote they cast, and will secure more real influence for the benefit of their race than when the right of suffrage of the Negro was wholly unrestricted. Most Afro-Americans would have found these remarks more satisfactory if the Secretary had not omitted to declare his disapproval of suffrage restrictions based on color. Miss Mace Coleman's Oration on Race Problem the Beat. MILWAUKEE, Wis., July 6.—Miss Mac Coleman, an Afro-American girl, defeated her classmates in the annual commencement contest of the East Division high school of this city, held at the Plymouth Congregational church. The prize was a medal, offered by The Milwaukee Sentinel for the best oration, and was won by Miss Coleman, the only Afro-American girl in her class. Her oration related to various phases of the race problem. Club for Improvement of Race in San Juan Hill District. Refining Influence on Members Full List of Officers and Members. On January 12, 1905, Mr. J. H. Anderson, Mr. Isaiah K. Berry and Mr. William H. Scott met in San Juan Hill to effect an organization for the uplift of the people of that section. Their pertinacity in holding formal meetings, though they were but three, secured at first the interest and then speedily the allegiance of such men as Messrs. P. N. Jones, T. J. Dickerson, William H. Reddick, J. H. Stocker, William H. Aplin, C. P. Roney, George W. Butt, Alexander Henderson, Frank Austin, John W. Dean Jordan V. Tucker, Peter R. Barnes, W. R. Banks, and F. D.

Soon the Monitor League was the result, and it has been growing ever since. The Monitor League is primarily a political club, but it also exerts a strong and refining social influence. Unique among political clubs, the League has never allowed on its premises at 220 J. H. ANDERSON. West Glat street the sale or use of intoxicating liquors, or any form of gambling. Instead, scores of the members are to be found every night at the club reading good books from its library, or studying current affairs in the newspapers. How valuable the members consider newspapers is shown by the fact that Secretary John W. Dean sold then enough copies of THE AGE last winter to pay for all the club's fuel. Mr. J. H. Anderson, the founder and president of the League, is known for his aggressive independence. In organizing the League he succeeded where four previous attempts had failed. He is a friend of ex-Congressman W. H. Douglass. The League, by its influence, has been able to effect many improvements in the tenement houses of the section. Its motto is "Independence." The officers of the League are: President, J. H. Anderson; 1st vice-president, Wesley Norman; 2 vice-president, E. A. Myers; 3rd vice-president, Isaiah K. Berry; secretary, John W. Dean; assistant secretary, Jacob Dean; financial secretary, Alexander Mann; treasurer, John S. Temple; sergeant-at-arms, William Washington; and chaplain, Philip Morrell. The executive committee are: Solomon Johnson, chairman; Jordan V. Tucker, W. V. Bond, C. P. Roney, P. W. Jones, William Applin, George W. Butt, George L. Pryor, Robert Cooper, M. D. Alexander Kellogg, M. D. Thomas J. Dickerson, W. R. Banks, William H. Scott, Gilchrist Stewart, and J. H. Anderson, ex-officio. The honorary members are: Hon. W. H. Douglass, Hon. Harry Mack, Hon.

C., July 7.—With courage that was frightful, Henry Scott, the self-confessed murderer of five men on the ill-fated ship, Harry A. Berwind, met death on the gallows here yesterday. Some months ago the Berwind was sighted off the coast feeling terribly and making signals of distress. On being boarded there were only three men on board, all Afro-Americans; one, Henry Scott, being in chains. The two other men, who seemed to hold their prisoner, though fettered, in mortal terror, told a story which bore a strange resemblance to Conan Doyle's J. Habakuk Jephson's Statement, "in which a mutuate, to avenge the wrongs of his wife, succeeded in killing nearly every white fellow traveller on a brigantine and effecting his escape into the Sahara Desert. Scott, it seems, was enraged by what he considered the vile treatment given the Afro-Americans of the crew by the white members. He believed that the captain added salt water to that given the Afro-Americans to keep from buying more water in Cardonets; and also accused him of selling the provisions and stinting the men to buy things for himself. Brooding on his wrongs excited Scott to a frenzy, and he determined on revenge. One by one he contrived cunningly to murder the five white men of the crew. Whether the two other Afro-Americans were his accomplices is not known; but Scott declared they were wholly innocent, though deserving death for betraying and surrendering him. Scott directed that, his body be sent to the University Medical school at Raleigh. DR. BLYDEN NOTED LIBERAN EXPECTED IN NEW YORK Will Lecture to Correct Wrong Opinions About Africa. Dr. Edward Wilmot Blyden, the famous Liberian author and statesman, sailed on June 19 from Africa and is expected daily to arrive in this city. Here he will join his wife and only son, Edward Wilmot Blyden, Jr., of 210 West 62d street. It is rumored that Dr. Blyden intends to make a lecture tour in this country for the purpose of correcting the widespread and injurious opinions which prevailed as to Africa and its people. CHARGE AGAINST AFRO-AMERICAN MAIL CARRIER IS DISMISSED Motion Made by Plaintiffs Counsel—What Will Uncle Sam Dof RICHMOND, Va., July 0.—In the police court last Monday the charge against J. Wesley Jones, the Afro-American mail carrier who was arrested for violating the "Jim Crow" street car law, was dismissed at the request of A. B. Guilgen, attorney for the railway company. Just what action the Federal authorities will take in the case remains to be seen. The arrest was wholly unwarranted, and the detention of the carrier was certainly an obstruction to the prompt delivery of the United States mail. Mr. Jones was arrested while sitting in the colored section of a Broad and Main car, for refusing to move his seat when requested to do so by the conductor. He was handed over to a policeman, who conveyed him together with his mail bag to the police station. THE NEW YO. HIT KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAS White Georgia Knights Have Afro-Americans Enjoined. But Lawyers Say They Can Still Hold Meetings and Wear ATLANTA, Ga., July 7.—At last the white Knights of Pythias of Georgia have come out in the open and started a fight against Afro-Americans who also claim to be Knights. About a month ago officers of the Grand Lodge of Afro-American Knights filed an application for a charter desiring to be incorporated under the name of Grand Lodge, Knights of Pythias of Georgia. Before this petition could be granted by the courts the white Knights filed an injunction restraining the petitioners from proceeding further in obtaining the charter. The case is best summed up in the following statement made by the attorneys of the Afro-American Knights: "In the case filed in the Fulton County Superior Court in which the Grand Lodge Knights of Pythias, et al., are plaintiffs and Charles D. Crosswill, et al., are defendants, the intention of the case and the prayers of the petitioners are that the defendants be enjoined from incorporating under the name of Grand Lodge, Knights of Pythias of Georgia, or any other name incorporating the words 'Knights of, or any name substantially identical with, or a colorable imitation of the Grand Lodge Knights of Pythias of Georgia, or from using any such name in the conduct of its affairs, or from instituting subordinate lodges and continuing the existence of subordinate lodges, called by such name, or from calling themselves or their associates by such names, or from using emblems and insignia similar to or in colorable imitation of the emblems and insignia used by the Grand Lodge, Knights of Pythias of Georgia, and from the use of such by members of subordinate lodges, and for such other relief as may be proper. The scope of the case is very broad and comprehends, every possible right which defendants now enjoy, and which plaintiffs would have abrogated. "Therefore, it seems to us that another case can be filed against the defendants which would not be subject to abatement on account of the pendency of this case. 'The restraining order of the Court is not nearly so broad, and goes only so far as to restrain the defendants from presenting their petition for incorporation, and from further proceeding to become incorporated under the name and style set forth in the petition for incorporation. 'Consequently, it is very clear that up to this time the defendants are at perfect liberty to do whatever they have been doing, such as holding their meetings, wearing their badges and doing everything except proceeding to incorporate; the proceeding to incorporate alone is stopped by the order of the Court, which order must be observed, but in all other respects, defendants are perfectly free to act." The order among Afro-Americans in Georgia has reached a very high state of efficiency both numerically and financially, there being now in the treasury about $25,000, it is said. Smash His Hat, Then Raise Cry That He Cut Little Girl. A lot of newsboys in Herald Square Monday night annoyed George Watkins, a young Afro-American porter of 139 West 25th street, and he cuffed some of them. They punched him and amused his new straw hat. This made him angry and he rushed at a group of his tormentors with such carmestness that they ran. In his wild pursuit Watkins ran against and knocked down a little girl, cutting her lip. The boys aheated that the man had a knife and that he had slashed the little girl. Watkins soon had a mob at his heels as he ran at top speed down Broadway, shouting for the police. Policeman Quigley of the Tenderloin caught the fugitive at 33d street and had a hard time keeping men and boys in the crowd, which numbered more than a thousand, from striking the Afro-American. Everybody seemed to think that he had a knife and that he had cut the little girl. Several men who had seen the trouble from its origin went to the Tenderloin station house with Watkins, told Sergeant McAnn what had happened and he let the prisoner go. PLAN INSTITUTES FOR TENNESSEE FARMERS Association Believes We Get Most Respect on the Farm. MEMPHIS, Tenn., July G.—A meeting of the executive and general boards of the Southern Negro Farmers' association will be held in this city in August. One of the leading men in this movement is Dr. Stanley P. Mitchell, manager of The Southern Sentiment, who is arousing much enthusiasm among the Afro-Americans of this section by his efforts to organize farmers' institutes among them. He holds that the Afro-American is more in demand and therefore held in greater respect on the farm than in any other field open to the masses. "Our farmers," says he, "are the Afro-American people's best agent of defense." Bert Lee's Apparatus Good as Any in Neighborhood. SCRANTON, Pa., July 10.—This city boasts an Afro-American drayman, Mr. Bert Lee, who has one of the finest window derricks in the neighborhood and all other modern appliances for carrying on his work.

Mr. Lee has now built up a splendid business, filling orders from Wilko-Barre and Carbondale as well as in Scranton. He makes a specialty of plano moving. C.URSDAY, JULY 12, 1906.

The headquarters of the convention will be at the beautiful home of Mrs. C. S. Smith of 38 Columbia street. NASHVILLE, Tenn., July 9.—The supreme court of Tennessee has decided that the "Jim Crow" car law of this State is constitutional. The decision was made in a test case brought by Mrs. Mary Morris on an Afro American, who some time ago took a seat in a street car in the section reserved for whites, refused to move when ordered to do so by the conductor, and was then arrested by his leader. She was fined $25 in the city court, and $5 more in the criminal court. She then appealed to the State Supreme court, which has just rendered an adverse opinion. Her attorney, J. T Little, made a long and elaborate argument to demonstrate the unconstitutionality of the law. The case will now go before the United States Supreme Court for a final opinion. The Afro Americans of the State are raising funds to carry the case there. In Memphis, recently two white men were fined $5 apiece for refusing to move forward out of the "Jim Crow" section to make room for several Afro Americans who were trying to get on the cars.

Telephone 1978-7 Pala Ice 28 Me The propaganda of the Committee, for Improving the Industrial Condition of the Magro in New York is to receive wide publicity, according to the plans adopted at a meeting of the sub-committee at the Y. M. C. A. in West 53d street last Thursday night. The committee on public meetings, of which Rev. W. H Brooks is chairman, recommended, and the recommendation wins adopted, that a series of meetings be held this winter in the Afro-American churches of Manhattan and Brooklyn, and that one large meeting be held in one of the big halles of New York. The first meeting is tentatively dated for Thursday, September 20, at Mount Olivet Baptist church. Hon. Charles W. Anderson has accepted the invitation to speak on that occasion, and an effort will be made to secure Lieutenant-Governor M. Linn Bruce. Dr. Bulkley, the author of the movement, will speak at every meeting and outline the ideas which he has at heart. It is the plan to have at each meeting one white and one Afro-American speaker. An attempt will be made to secure Dr. Booker T. Washington as the chief speaker at the big main meeting. The committee hopes by this persistent campaign to place firmly in the minds of the masses of Afro-Americans in New York the urgency of acquiring trades, and the possibility of opening up avenues for the utilization of those trades. Dr. Bulkley has conceived a large plan, divided into two departments which perfectly dovetail. The first is the affording to Afro-Americans an opportunity to learn trades. The second is to open up to them occupations in which to employ those trades. The first Dr. Bulkley is helping to accomplish in his industrial classes in Public School 90; the second he hopes to accomplish by the agency of the Industrial Committee. As principal of Public School 80, Dr. Bullkey was saddened to see how little practical benefit the eight years of grammar school training which comprises the education of the ordinary New York Afro-American, really does for him. Seeing the grammar school graduate most often leave school to open doors, bell runs or hustle hash for the rest of his life—work any corn-feld hand could learn in a couple of weeks—the principal was often moved to exclaim, "What's the use? What good, after all, is the teachers' labor for eight years?" He saw clearly that the grammar school course does almost nothing in the way of preparing its graduates to make a decent living. --- An old Spartan general being asked what boys should study replied: "That which they will do when they grow up." This sensible opinion is the basis of modern education. Dr. Bulkley held it when he established last fall in Public School 80 a number of evening industrial classes supported by the Board of Education, to teach trades not only to the young, who were in school during the day, but to older persons who had never before had this opportunity. Interest was worked up among the proposed beneficiaries by a number of public meetings in the various churches, and so popular was the plan that the applications for enrollment exceeded the accommodations available for the classes. Many old women and men hastened to enroll themselves, repeating the scenes of pathetic ambition beheld so often in the Southern schools just after the war. The young Afro-American, so often asked of shiftlessness and indolence, linked to the classes by hundreds, and not tire in a week, but persisted for seven months' term, zealously laboring his tasks. Among the trades taught were carpentry, woodwork, stenography, embroidery, cooking and sawing. Others will be added next term. The industrial committee, as has been said, has the aim of breaking down color caste in the gainful occupations in New York. This is an enterprise of much difficulty, but it is reassuring to read the names of the committee, which comprises some of the most public spirited, influential and wealthy men in the city. Dr. William J. Schieffelin, the millionaire philanthropist, is the chairman. Many of the members are prominent New York Afro-Americans. The full list of the committee follows: Hon. Charles W. Anderson, Mr. James H. Anderson, Mr. Grosvenor H. Backus, Mr. F. J. Barrows, Mr. Thomas J. Boll, Rev. Samuel H. Bishop, Miss Lillian Brandt, Dr. W. H. Brooks, Dr. W. L Bulkley, Charles G.

Census by Director North. Mr. Cooper is one of the best known Afro-American newspaper men, having established The Indianapolis Freeman and The Colored American. He has resigned his position in the tax collector's office as coupon clerk, to which he was appointed by Commissioner West nearly a year ago. Mr. Cooper was endorsed by Messas Cortelou and Dover of the Republican National Committee, and by Messas Babcock and Overseas of the Republican Congressional Committee.

Chief Attendance Officer Charles Stell the terror to hockey players in Jersey City, has decided formally to adopt Jeremiah Alfred Brown, a twelve-year-old Afro-American boy. Jerry was found by a policeman one night sitting on the coal box nursing a sore toe. He was locked up as a vagrant and made a hit with Matron Wyatt of the woman's prison by saying grace over his first meal in jail. Stell had the boy paroled in his care by Police Justice Higgins and took him home. He had a city hospital surgeon fix up his toe and permitted the boy to eat at the family table. The youngster took such a fancy to him that Stell con- cluded to take care of him until he is able to hustle for himself. Jerry says he drifted into Jersey City on a railroad train. His parents are dead. WHITES WILL "KU-KLUX" AFRO-AMERICAN COLONY Residents of Belmont, Md., Organize and Make Threats. WASHINGTON, July 5. Five hundred residents of Rethoda, Friendship Heights, Somerset and Drummond, suburbs of Washington near the boundary line between the District of Columbia and Maryland, are protesting vigorously against the proposed sale of Belmont subdivision to Afro-Americans. The promoters of the suburbs subdivision are advertising for Afro-American purchasers. The white residents of the neighborhood declare that the Afro-American colony which it is proposed to establish in their immediate vicinity will be across the District line in Maryland and therefore beyond the restraint of the District police. An organization has been formed to buy off the promoters and still another organization declares its purpose to prevent the consummation of the scheme, using any means that may be necessary. "You may call our organization white-caps, kukuhx or what you will." said Richard M. Ough, a wealthy property owner, "but we are determined to prevent this Negro colonization. No Negro shall ever build a house in Helmont." Galilean Fishermen Meet BALSTON, July 11.—The National Grand, Tabernacle of the Grand United Order of Galilean Fishermen was held in this city last week. The order was started in this city fifty years ago, and has a large constituency in Maryland and other states. Rev. T. H. Storis of Hampton, Va., was reelected grand ruler. The next session will be held in Washington, D. C. TEACHERS AT CHEYNEY Second Session of Summer School Now in Full Blast. INSIST ON PRACTICE Managers Believe All Theory and No Work to Be Ineffective. CHRYNEY, Pa., July 9.—The second session of the Cheyney Summer School for Afro-American teachers began its work on July 5 under favorable auspices, directed by Prof. Hugh M. Broyne, principal. This work is a part of the regular school course for the training of teachers. As was the case last year, many applicants could not be admitted on account of limited dormitory accommodations. The board of managers visited the school in a body, welcomed the teachers, and individually expressed their pleasure of meeting face to face the earnest men and women who are devoting their lives to the cause of education among the Afro-American people. As a matter of much interest in this summer session is the fact that all of the work connected with the dormitory and boarding department is carried on by the regular pupils of the school. This supports the claim which the Institute makes that a student studying domestic science or domestic art should be able to put her theory into practice in these industries as is required in actual life. The girl students specializing in cooking are required to give actual service in managing the dining hall, keeping store room blanks, in arranging the daily menu and in selecting the dietary, which has already gained a reputation for variety, economy and wholesomeness. Those who are specializing as teachers in dressmaking are required to do work for outside people. The school holds that a medical college is not any the worse off without a hospital than a domestic science department is without an actual kitchen and a number of people to cook for; or a dressmaking department without dresses to make. The requirements for preparation in the academic subjects, such as English, history, mathematics, drawing and also the methods of teaching these subjects, are fully provided for. Engaged in the work of instructing in the present summer school are several of the oldest Afro-American teachers which the country has produced, and these people with the trans missionary spirit are endeavoring to give the teachers attending the benefits of the special preparation which they themselves have had. The school will last through the month of July. All friends of education are invited to visit the work Daily sessions, except Saturday, are from 8:40 a.m. to 5 p.m. CHAINED FOR BREAKING THEIR LABOR CONTRACT Afro-American and Wife Claims Were Driven to Quit by Violence. LOUISVILLE, Ga., July 7. Last week an Afro-American and his wife were arrested in Jefferson county charged with violation of a labor contract with a farmer near Harlem, Columbia county, by the name of J. C. Dill. Four whiffen had them and another man who had been arrested on the charge, in charge, and had the man and his wife chained together on the train while they amused themselves playing cards. The man claima that he was working for only seven dollars a month and that his employer was so cruel that he was compelled to leave. He claims that his employer drove him away with many threats of bodily violence. RICHMOND, Va., July 10.—Some of the white papers down this way are trying to make it appear that assaults upon womanhood are committed only by black men. But such is not the case. Here in Henrico county, just on the outskirts of Richmond, two white men have been accused of committing criminal assault upon white girls. Both men are married. One is now a fugitive from justice and the other will face a jury next week, having already been indicted. 1. MISSES WASHINGTON AND THOMAS. MISS WASHINGTON IN ENGLAND DURING SUMMER Miss Ella Thomas Studying in Austria—Return to Berlin in Fall. BERLIN, Germany, June 25.—Miss Portia Washington, who has been taking private lessons here on the piano, has gone to England to pass the summer. She will return here next fall to assume her studies. Miss Ella Thomas, the daughter of Mr. J. C. Thomas, the New York undertaker, has completed a very successful year studying the violin at Steven's academy. As this institution is closed during the summer, Miss Thomas has gone to Austria to take lessons there during the summer term. She will return to Berlin in the fall, where she will study two years more before finishing as a violinist. REGISTER W. T. VERNON NOW WRITES HIMSELF AN LL.

She will enter high school next fall. The Neptune Club at South Beach. The Neptune Club gave an outing and fishing party on July 4th at South Beach, two big naphtha launches conveyed the party out into the briny deep, where Mr. Arthur Pointer carried off the honors of the day by catching the largest fish, weighing approximately six and one-half pounds. After a most enjoyable time on the water, they returned to the beach and went to Nunnelly's pavilion, where reservation had been made for the club. The ladies' lunch baskets were again brought into play and did play a very important part in satisfying the appetites of the hungry fishermen. Those present were: President Charles S. Evans and Miss Engene Cross; vice-president William D. Jones and F. A. Jones; secretary J. E. Ridley and Mrs. Ridley; chef Arthur Pointer and Mrs. Pointer, Mr. John W.

Miss Helicot, who, besides receiving her diploma at the commencement axes class, was awarded the Mary Howard prize for deportment, is the first Afro-American to be graduated in Catkill. She sat with the class on the stage of the Nellida theatre, and her parents arranged for a reception at home. Lewis B. Moore in Germany. WASHINGTON, July 12—Dean Lewis B.

Published by Fortune & Peterson, at 4 Cedar Street, in the Borough of Man- hattan, New York A Dreadful Demand. The Very Reverend Cassius Reverdy Ransom of Boston ought to pray to be delivered from his friends, who are continuing to hawl what must be to him alarming demands for an investigation. Every one who knows Ransom knows that an investigation is just what he does not want. An investigation might investigate Ransom in Cleveland, or Ransom in Chicago. Some investigator might conceive a dangerous curiosity to find out why Ransom left Chicago. That amiable gentleman and good friend of the Afro-American people, Dr. Edwin M. Mead, has published an interview in which he tries to extenuate the offense of Ransom by intimating that he yielded to the temptation of taking a little nip to brace himself up. Evidently Mr. Mead does not know that Ransom has been indulged devotedly in his little nips for fifteen years, and ought to be thoroughly braced up by this time. And when he offered whiskey to students on the train, did he suppose they needed bracing up, too? Mr. Meed says that two ruffians drove Ransom out of the Pullman car. Why in the world did not Ransom fight and leave his dead body in the car, as he has been advising Afro-Americans in the South to do? It seems to be one thing to give advice in Fancueil Hall and quite another to put it in practice in the South. Disfranchised by'a Poll Tax. The Georgia subnational campaign in which the limp and resisting Afro-American is being used as the shuttlecock of Candidates Clark Howell and Hoke Smith, is enough to shock every one of us. Simmered down, the arguments of the candidates are these: "We must make our suffrage regulations more stringent," yells Smith, "or we shall have to submit to Negro political domination." "What nonsense!" calmly replies Howell, "the Negro is already universally and irreovocably disfranchised in Georgia by our little poll tax qualification, which he has not and never will have enterprise enough to require with." We concede that the masses of Afro-Americans in Georgia, knowing how opposed the dominant sentiment is to their voting, need quite some temerity to present themselves for registration, and we also know that the hindrances and delays thrown in their way when they do try to register are enough to tire out ordinary persistence. Yet it is not very creditable to them that Clark Howell should be able to demonstrate to perhaps a majority of the white voters of Georgia that a mere poll tax qualification is absolutely adequate to keep most of the Afro-American voters away from the polls. Hit the Bull's Eye. While the large causes which demand the heart and soul of the Afro-American people counsel us to close up our ranks and present a solid front to the foe, and to conciliate all factions into a unanimous whole, yet there are certain rancals among us—as among all races—whose extirpation is necessary for the good of the whole people. Among those of whom cold, dispassionate justice demands the extermination are William Monroe Troter and his few but obstreperous followers in Boston. Their execution—we mean that of their influence—would be just and salutary because of the evil effects, from a broad point of view, they have produced by four years of outrageous tumult upon both the white and Afro-American citizens of Boston. As our Boston correspondent pointed out in a recent significant letter, the efforts of this crew have succeeded in closing the doors of schools to Afro-Americans in Massachusetts, in perceptibly cooling the friendship of old champions of the race like The Transcript, and in beginning the complete alienation of the best people of Boston. Men of the pure and lofty character peculiar to Boston and Cambridge are disgusted and estranged when a people, even with which they have an hereditary sympathy, permits itself to be dominated by a frantic man with a criminal record. If Trotter has done the race so much injury among its best friends in four years, shall we, if he continues his efforts, have any friends left in Boston in eight years? The direct injury he has done the Afro-American people of Boston has been extraordinary. While posing as an apotheosis of freedom, he succeeded for a while in strangling freedom of speech among them. His licentious abuse of all who dared differ with him in opinion, his endless adoration of those who supported him, frightened those who dislike notoriety and attracted those who love it. But we learn that the decent citizens of Boston—of whom there are many—are now awakening to their ignoring in suffering themselves to be terrorized by a jailbird out of his senses. Our Boston correspondent writes us as follows: "I am arrested and gratified by the wide and favorable comment created in Boston on my last letter to many individuals have expressed their satisfaction. There is an increasing number of level headed Afro-Americans who are refusing to be led on and dominated over by an a jailbird and a few notorious suckers, such as Morgan and Scott. Surprise is continually expressed as, to how a man like Dubois can condescend to associate himself with such persons. If the race is to accomplish anything and get the confidence of the public it must purge itself of men like Trotter, with his criminal record. Besides, more, and more the 'thinking part of our community is beginning to realize that we right here in Boston, are dot-tag little to help ourselves. It seems that the majority of our energy is belittle caused to the Afro-American in Louisiana, Mississippi and elsewhere in the South; when the fact remains that we urgently need attention here." Injurious demagogues and bigots like these should be plucked up by the roots and cast out. Let Trotter and his tribe be read out of the race. Fortunately his chief, ally, the Very Reverend Reverdy Cassius Ranom, is already as good as dead. Root's Difficult Mission. The engaging ideal embodied in the majestic statue of "America Enlightening the World" is not yet extinct in this country; though certain muckrakers and peasimists have intimated, with indignant shackings of the head, that the statue should every other day face about to the West and shed some of its enlightenment upon the United States. The latest instance of the vitality of this ideal was the departure on July 4 of Secretary of State Elliott -Root for Rio Janeiro, there to attend the Pan-American Congress, composed of representatives of nineteen Latin-American republics and the United States. We do not say that the Secretary has not in mind also the advancement of our commercial interests in South America—in fact, he ought to have them prominently in mind; but we believe that his—and by his we mean this country's—motives are to a considerable degree altruistic. There still exists in most of us a sentimental interest in the multitude of more or less tumultuous little republics to the south of us; we share up over the Monroe Doctrine partly for their sake as well as for our own. We delight to hear that several of them, taught by that ancient kind pedagogy, experience, have evolved stable governments, are progressing commercially, are producing a few ten of international fame, like Carlos Calvo, the Argentine statesman. In short, we wish South America well; and to demonstrate the sincerity of our good will toward these distrustful peoples is the difficult mission of Secretary Root. It is unfortunately true that the average South American government watches the United States with all the uneasiness and vigilance of auspicion. Our very might alone would awaken apprehensions: This northern giant, they say, is good-natured for the moment, but how soon may not avarice or ambition provoke him to pounce down upon us and rend us asunder? He has the strength: how long will he lack the will? Nay, is not the will already visibly germinating? Did he not, with the Constitution under his arm, take Hailwail from Queen Lilukolani, massacre the Moros for preferring freedom to benevolent subjugation, and despoil Columbia of Panama? However, as to these little National pecaddillons Secretary Root may be able, by address and dexterity, to reassure his conference somewhat. But how will he justify to them or even excuse what our personal experience teaches us is the most deep-seated cause of their distrust, namely, the oppression of Afro-American citizens here at home on the sole ground of their color? The South Americans are, of course, not predominately pure white; they have mingled generously with the Indian and also the Negro races. The rampant color prejudice in the United States, therefore, they regard as personally offensive and menacing to themselves. How can they for a moment credit the United States when the United States is at the very moment permitting men of their own blood to be disfranchised and "Jim Crowed" in nearly every phase of life? Secretary Root will, of course, be afforded by the South Americans many outward signs of the success of his policy of conciliation; but it is extremely doubtful whether he will be able to establish a hearty cordiality of relations between the United States and its sister republics. Let Us Organize Our What, for example, could have been more confounding to an enemy or more gratifying to a friend of the Afro-American people than the personnel of the dinner party which assembled recently in New York at the bidding of Dr. Washington to do honor to Bishop Turner? There were at least four men of international reputation; there were eloquent learned and gentle ministers, men of tacq and address in handling large affairs, shrewd and dextrous politicians, astute and energetic business men, fearless writers, musicians whose names are almost household words, skilful attorneys—all honorable, gentlemen. We have brains and character in plenty; nor is the spirit hacking which should animate all these individuals as with a common soul. This spirit, which all participate in, is love of race and oppression of oppression. For any great movement these two factors are fundamental and indispensable: large numbers of men with brains and courage, and a common motive which shall unite their shorts. The Afro-American people have the men and the motive; but other necessary factor we have not, namely, organization. Organization has, to be sure, been endowed, but has hitherto, except in the churches and certain business enterprises, like the True Reformers, never been attained; but that if will never be attained would be an abound prophey. Robert Bruce liberated Scotland only by his seventh attempt. There are many signs that the Afro-American leaders in all sections are awakening to the discredit, cast upon a race of ten millions of souls by the fact that they have allowed themselves to be disfranchised, though the Federal Constitution is explicitly on their side, without ever having properly sought redress at the hands of the Supreme Court. A contemporary justice of this Court is reported to, have expressed his astonishment that we have never brought properly before it a case-testing the Southern disfranchising constitutions; and to have declared that those vicious instruments could not for a moment endure the scrutiny of the highest Court. Our enemies are encouraged to greater oppressions and our friends chilled by our donothing submission to wrongs the remedy for which lies within our grasp if we will only take the trouble to close our fingers upon it. The Afro-American Council at its meeting in New York next October will make a vigorous effort to organise a financial campaign for raising the funds necessary to employ one of the most famous lawyers in the country to put the issue of disfranchisement up to the Supreme Court in a way which it cannot dodge. This purpose should enlist the instant support of the whole Afro-American people. The great churches, led by such bishops as Turner and Walters, should use their centralized organizations to command the financial support of the great masses whom the churches only are able to reach with effectiveness and promptly. The secret societies, the big fraternal and insurance associations—all should rush to co-operate. First of all should come thronging our men of mark in their communities, bringing the utmost of their financial and moral assistance. The spectacle of such a pacific and enthusiastic uprising against oppression would again thrill the white North, which our own apathy and indolent feebleness have helped estrange quite as much as has the wicked enterprise of the white South. Let us no longer allow ourselves to be amenable to the just approach that though we have the strength of a giant we use it like a child. Alexander Sergeievitch Pushkin. How many of us know that the Russian poet whose fame is as unquestionably first in his country as Shakespeare's is in England, was a man of Nego descent? Alexander Siegievich Pushkin, the prince of Russian bardy, was the grandson of an Abysinian Nego, a slave in the seraglio at Constantinople, who had been stolen and brought to Russia by a Corsair, and then not only adopted, but ennobled by Peter the Great. Some of his ancestor's romantic escapades are related by Pushkin in his brilliant fragment "Peter the Great's Nego." The African blood, so vigorously persistent, manifested itself in the poet's thick lips and crisp hair, of which he was very vain. He loved to describe himself as "an African rose on Arctic anemons." The life of Pushkin was wild, crowded, tumultuous and brief. When he was lit more than twenty he was banished by the Czar to Crimea for writing a daring "Gide to Liberty." This ode, as our readers will remember, was widely quoted in the American press last fall when a revolution in Russia seemed at hand. The poet, in resounding lines, warns the Autocrat that some day Russia will be allame with revolution, and then "the extinguishers themselves will be on fire." Puskin is called the father of Russian poetry, thouch, to be sure, he had forrunners. Zhukowski attempted sentimental poetry twenty years before the giant Puskin stopped in and carried off all the honors. But Zhukowski's sentimentality was imported, sickly and depleciable; Puskin transformed it into a national, vigorous and many romantic. He, too, was forced to seek models abroad; but, whether by accident or the taste of genius, chose the best models which modern literature offers. He first studied the works of the German titans, Goethe and Schiller; and by them was led on to the fountain-head whence their inspiration was derived - Shakespeare and the English poets. In 1825 Puskin gave the Russian stage its first play in Shakespearean style in his tragedy of "Horis Godunoff" the great usurper. But he was most captivated by the genius of Lord Byron. He wrote a Byronic "Ode to the Sea," and romantic poems of love and vengeance; his "Pollutava" is a glowing narrative poem in which the great scene is the description of the battles of Puttona. His masterpiece, published in the year of his death, is "Engene Omegin," who was the incarnation of the restless, aimless Russian noble of the day. The hero of the poem lies the court to escape enemy, rejects the passionate love of the country girl Natalie, and only learns to love her when she has become a social queen and it is too late. Puskin, like many of the poets of his time, wrote an "Ode to Napoleon." Besides his poems, Puskin wrote many charming prose tales. They have few traces of the gloomy, ruthless and ugly realism which so terrifies one in Gorky's stories; but are cheerful, witty and human. By the courtesy of the Macmillan Company we are enabled to give our readers this week the first installment of one of Pushkin's best short stories, "The Amateur Pearant Girl." It contains materials from which could be constructed a most capital comedy of the high class. It would be very fitting if this comedy, derived from the Afro-Russian, should be written by an Afro-American. We feel that the knowledge of what great men of African descent have accomplished in other countries cannot fail to help reconcile Afro-Americans to their unsatisfactory situation in the United States, and inspire them with the most lively hopes for the future. Shall we not yet produce in America our Coleridge-Taylor, our Dumas or our Pushkin? In the next ten years the fairly dotted with the a American business enterprise North and West doing the creation of a very die chass of business men, pendent and honorable, much important influence on the whole race. What Our Women This week the National Women's Clubs is in excellent Michigan. The membership creation is dignified by the splendid and brilliant wo Mary Church Terrell, Mrs Bruce, Mrs Booker T. Wa Josephine Silane-Yates and Barrier Williams. This Federation is doing :South Standing on Its Own Feet. SOUTH STANDING on its own PCT. To anyone who is keeping his eye open and studying the situation carefully, it must be apparent that the Afro-American in the Southern States is growing stronger each year and becoming more and more able to think and act for himself. We say this advisedly, not overlooking the many advantages he has lost since freedom. It is a fact, however, that the Afro-American in no part of America is making such progress as he is in the South. He is securing land, establishing banks, business houses, dry-grooved stores and groceries, and is far ahead of his brother in the North in the matter of holding public office. Notwithstanding this, the situation is far from perfect. All this leads us to say that anyone who would really help the Southern situation can only do so by coming into close and sympathetic touch with the leaders in the heart of the South. The Afro-Americans in the South are not to be treated like children. They know what they want and are willing to fight and stand up for it. This is shown by the fact that the Afro-American has a larger representation holding office in the South than anywhere in the country. - It is ridiculous to think that this solid class of men and our Southern leaders should be dictated to by a few table waiters, porters, school boys, Government clerks and turbulent agitators in Boston, Washington and elsewhere who hold meetings and pass resolutions concerning the rights of the people in the South without consulting them as to their wishes and interests. It is positively insane to fancy that these men, who own thousands of acres of land, control theaters and large merchantile establishments, run manufacturing establishments and control banks, should permit themselves to be advised by this cheap lot of "agitators" in the North and elsewhere who are simply seeking notoriety at the expense of their Southern brothers. Nothing effectual can be accomplished by these men unless they get into close touch with the leaders at the South. The Wary Democrats "After you, my dear Gaston," and "After you, my dear Alphonse," summarize the long interviews now being given out by prominent Democrats who fear being hit by the lightning of a Presidential nomination two years ahead of time. "I am no candidate," says Mr. Bryan, "but either Folk, Bailey or Heerst would make an ideal one." "Excuse me," replies Mr. Heerst, "neither am I a candidate; but I should welcome the candidacy of Bryan or Folk, though I do not think so much of Bailey, who, I fear, has sold out to Standard Oil." "Please pardon me" chorus Folk and Bailey, "we are not candidates, either, but hope Bryan will answer the call of the party of Jefferson." Each you, see, has tried to dodge a premature nomination which might fax out before 1908, but neither one has refused to sacrifice himself for the good of the party two years before. Each is equally prepared to climb with grace and consistency upon the other fellow's bandwagon or back upon his own For our part, we should rather like to see Mr. Hearst run on an independent ticket, for this might rebound to the political benefit of the race. The Republican party, as it believes with apparent justice that the Afro-American vote cannot be driven away from it, is not compelled to do us any favors. The orthodox Democratic party, knowing the Afro-American's hereditary repugnance to it, will not waste its time trying to win us over. A third party, hungry for recruits, and starting out with a clean slate, so far as our rights are concerned, would use every effort to secure our support, and perhaps stimulate the Republican party to recurrent into active life sorts of its old principles. As a whole, we might gain much by the entrance into the field of a third party, as ambitious and energetic as that led by Mr. Hearst. The Trend Toward Business. If we were asked to name the one trend into which Afro-American activity has been most directed during the last two or three years, we should unhesitatingly reply, the trend into business. The ambition for business success has becomes a vital force, fermenting in the masses of the race, and its products are everywhere visible, particularly in the South. It is said to be difficult to find a Southern town in which you will not find also an Afro-American grocer, merchant or some sort of business man. "Mississippi reports twelve banks; and a majority of the Southern States can boast one or more Afro-American banks. These enterprises are all more or less crude and humble, but so are most beginnings. The fundamental thing is that they are being instructed. The future will take care of their growth. We must attribute the impulse which started this movement to the National Negro Business League. With its present superior organization for reaching the masses of the people in all parts of the country, we may confidently look to see In the next ten years the whole South fairly dotted with the sites of Afro-American business enterprises; and the North and West doing their part, too. The creation of a very numerous middle class of business men, shrewd, independent and honorable, must have a very important influence on the affairs of the whole race. What Our Women Are Doing. This week the National Federation of Women's Clubs is in session in Detroit, Michigan. The membership of the Federation is dignified by the names of such splendid and brilliant women as Mrs. Mary Booker Terrell, Mrs. Josephine B. Bruce, Mrs. Booker T. Washington, Mrs. Josephine Silene Yates and Mrs. Fannie Barrier Williams. This Federation is doing a fine and practical work. Its officers conduct in many cities and town, notably Chicago and Tuskegee, social settlements which have had a perceptible influence upon the women of the community. It is these ladies' noble function to affect the very heart of the race's life—its homes. It is a privilege which the most ambitious men may enthymen. When Damon permits himself to make a charge against Tytliha, we must believe the charge pretty well founded. There is a great battle to double the sacrifice of Senator Bailer in representing Senator Tillman with the name of demagogue. --- A certain set of Afro-Americans claim that they are intently interested in all matters relating to the suffrage, but the same individuals either turn 'the cold shoulder or indulge in abuse when the Afro-American voter rises to the dignity of an offender. They overlook the fact that the result of voting is offholding. --- Mr. Wendell Phillip Garrison, the second son of William Lloyd Garrison, retired last week from the editorship of The Nation with which he had been connected for 41 years. In its earlier days The Nation exerted a very powerful influence, but latterly became the weekly edition of The Erning Post. Mr. Garrison's successor is Mr. Hammond Lamont, formerly managing editor of The Erning Post. --- Silas W. Floyd, one of the editorial writers of The Voice of the Negro has perpetrated in Lippincott's the following servile and wretched "joke": "The colored physician not having been able to locate the malady and check it, a white physician was called. He look at the patient and saw the physician inquired: 'Did Ir. Jr. Jones take your temperature?' The old colored ankle was missed. 'Ah aln't missed nothined' cept mh watch. This jangles rather discordantly with the Voice's recent rebounding boast that one of its achievements has been "the enobling of the lives of our own people." --- We have not recently heard of anything more significant than the strike of white union men in New York last Thursday because the Afro-American pavers and rammermen, union men, were being frozen out of the labor force. We have not invariably denounced as the most ruthless enemies of the Northern Afro-American. There is yet a great battle to be fought to induce the labor unions to receive Afro-American artisans into their membership. The pavers and rammermen have shown us that if we once get in, we may, to some extent, be able to fight against the discriminations which employers may be disposed to practice. THE MENACE OF ISLAM From The New York World So long as there are millions of Moham medans fanatics ready to court death in battle for promised, rewards in Paradise and so long as there are gunmakers in Birmingham ready to sell their wars to whoever has the price, there will be danger of such Moslem uprisings as Sir Edward Greg has warned the British Parliament are now threatened. Thirty years ago such as threat would have been looked for in the East. Now in that quarter Mohammadmounian has grown less dangerous in proportion as the commander of the faithful, the Turkish Sultan, is shorn of his power in the Balkans and kept upon his good behavior by the number and importance of his non-Turkish subjects. Education also has given the wealthy Turks a taste for the "higher criticism" in religion and a preference for keeping their skins whole. The rich Patiestaught Efendi has no idea of seeking death in the war, and it is in Africa that Sir Edmund grey sees the danger. What the Soudanes can do in a fight the British soldier knows. They destroyed Baker Pasha. They won the Soudan and held it for years. Armed only with spears they "erupted up the British square," as Kipling relates. The Soudan is far better shown what man who do not fear death can do with modern weapons. There are many reasons why Mohammedanism appeals to black Africa. It is a democratic faith. There is no power or place in Islam below the Sultan's to which a black slave may not aspire. In North Africa are some of the finest native fighters in the world. In South Africa the natives, though not Mohammedans, are in revolt against both British and German forces. Still the uneasy conscience of universal aggression may render the English more nervous than they need be. The shooting of some British soldiers while hunting is on the face of the facts rather murder than war. Praenata by the Nile find too slow their humorous practice of shooting aged relatives full of birdshot and clamorously collecting damages from the next snip-hunters that happen along. Every one likes excitement now and then. So in the recent case of the Red Sea snip-hunters the British affected to fear less the British snip-hunters used in a holy war against Christians. A true explanation may have been that even the patient Turk may tire in time of being always pushed back from his historic boundaries and become apophilically yet non religiously angry. Revised 03012504 by Corey Bell ATLANTA, Ga., July 7, The St. Paul A. M. E. church, of which Rev. Dr. J. B. Epton is pastor, recently raised in one Sunday's rally the sum of $3,083.50. If We. Were Supplanted There by Altena, Where Would We Go! To the Editor of This New York Asc: I beg space in your paper in which to advance a thought in respect to the immigration movement which has for its anterior object the supplanting of Negro labor in the South. Now, in the first place, my humble opinion is that if this movement should be successful it would be the greatest calamity that has befallen the Negro since he set foot upon this continent. It is impracticable for him to create employment for himself sufficient for his sustenance in the South. Nor can he create it in the North; because there he is h banned by foreign immigration and labor unions, which are making his chances for success less and less day by day. I have observed, ioo, that as the colored man migrates from the South to the North his presence thence engenders hate, mob-movience and murder on the part of the whites of that section; or at least on the part of an element of them. So much so, until now, if he engages in an ordinary fight with a white man, in any city of the North, he may be lynched unless the officers of the law come to his rescue; and that must be done quickly. I am of the opinion, therefore, that it is of the highest importance to the Negro to hold the labor of the South, thus precluding foreign immigration. For if he should lose that labor in the manner contemplated then the evil of his condition would be indescribable. While this is a great question, it is possible for the colored man, even now, to adjust it in a manager that would enable him to hold the labor, and thus preclude foreign immigration. He cannot take the labor of the North except in a very limited degree. It is, indeed, well for the colored man that foreign immigration does not come South to supplant him, for where would he go, and what would he do? There is now only one path of the race in the North, and in consequence of that much trouble ensues. If the other nine-tenths should go there, then greater trouble would ensue. I feel that the colored man should make an effort to adjust this matter while it is in its nascent state. Should he delay, it may be too late. J. O. NIXON. Wilmington, N. C., June 29, 1906. A BARALONG POET LAUREATE. Sample of His Muse, With Literal and Free Translations. From The Bechpane Garetta Writing about Lord Selborne's visit to the Protectorate last month, we expressed regret that the king's representatives do not always attend native functions in uniform. When Sir Walter F. Helytchinson visited Montsay's Stadil this week his A. D. C.'s were really gorgeously attired, and that impressed the Barolongs much more than anything else. Their uniform gave them a magnificent stately appearance, and Old Lore, the Barolong Poet Laureate, who earned a cow on two occasions by praising the Chief Montsay with recitations of his own unwritten compositions, was singing their praises for the benefit of those natives who were not present at the function. He praised them in names which cannot advantageously be translated word for word into English. He said interalia: A nale Baslime mk gosing, Megokare mfelefe. Lifesherere mk thotmohanga; Bao kegee mk boiko, Rapa Le meya mk Thilma. Le kola mk Tahebe. Ba mkagao ercologolo, Tuhlmane mk Gosing. The above bit of Sichuanu orthometry if literally translated into English, would appear to suggest that some ancient hunter attacked a porcupine with a branch of a tall willow tree, or that the said hunter tied a springbuck with a jackal tail; yet all that is meant is that when the Cape Governor visited the Stadt, he was attended by three courtiers in brilliant attire, and that the color of their uniform gave the proceedings a majestic appearance. SEEING THE LIGHT From The Odd Fellows' Journal From The Old Follows' Journal. To our mind the time has come for all of who have been skeptical as to Irl Winstonbush's courage and manhood to accept knowledge and knowledge of the success of confidence. His way may not have been our way, but his way has been the successful way without the loss of one whit of his manhood. The time was that he did not have our entire confidence, but he had grown upon as more and more as the years have gone by until now, according to our lights, he is a sincere, courageous and wise man, who by precept and example is a man of great courage and members of our race in America and is therefore entitled by virtue of his work to the place of leader. CHARLES W. ANDERSON From The Urbana (O) Informer, Hon. Charles W. Anderson, recently appointed Collector of Internal Revenue at New York, is truly a representative Negro. He has never neglected the placing of competent men of his race in good post- position, and he has never cared for them. As long as it "goes well with him, he forgets not his people to whom almost every avenue is closed to wealthing. May his trice increase. OUR DEBT TO THE G. O. P. From The Richmond (VA.) Reformer. The "G. O. P." is 50 years old, going on 51, having celebrated its golden anniversary last week in the city of Philadelphia. It is not to the Negro now what it was in its early history, when Freshman and Linden and Stevens, and Summer and Grant and Anderson, withstanding is the only political party extant that holds out to the Negro the continuance of his citizenship and equality before the law. With all its shortcomings, we agree with Turt New York. Ask that the Negro be a fool and Incurate if he permitted himself to be blinded as to the debt of gratitude he owes the Republican party, because of some of its recent use of omission. Highest Mark in Civil Service Exam. CINNAMATI, July 6. - Cecil Harris, an Afro-American, made the highest mark in a civil service examination for stationary engineer in this city recently. JUDGE TERRELL'S FATHER DIES FROM AN ACCIDENT Skull Fractured by a Full-His Connection With General Grant. WASHINGTON, July 9.—Mr. Harrison Terrell, the father of Judge Robert H. Terrell, and a venerable employee in the War Department, accidentally fell down a flight of stairs in a building on F street between 17th and 18th streets, occupied by the records division of the department, late in the afternoon of July 5, and suffered a fracture of the skull. Assistance was rendered and he was immediately taken to the Emergency Hospital, where he died at 10:25 o'clock, with no recoveries. His remains were removed to his late home, 1531 Church street. Mr. Terrell was for many years employed in the family of George W. Riggs, the banker, whose friendship he retained until the day of his death. Through this connection he became acquainted with all of the leading families in the District of Columbia. He was in the service of General Grant during the last six years of his life, and the ex-President became greatly attached to him. He nursed the distinguished general through his last illness, and was constantly at his bedside both in New York and at Mount McGregor. The newspaper men of that day became well acquainted with Terrell and wrote many compliantary things about his faithfulness to President Grant and his courtesies to them. Terrell was born in Virginia and came to Washington immediately after the civil war. He leaves 'three children, Judge Robert H. Terrell, who is a graduate of Harvard College, formerly the principal of the Colored High School of this city, and now one of the magistrates of the District; William H. Terrell, an employee in the gas meter inspector's office, and Laura Terrell-Jones, a teacher in the Tuskegee Institute. He was applauded in the paymaster's government of the War Department in October, 1886, and was promoted in October, 1887, to the war record offices, since absorbed into the present military secretary's office. The remains were buried Sunday. The funeral services were held at the Nineteenth street Baptist church at 4 o'clock. Rev. Walter H. Brooks preached the sermon and Rev. Mr. James Howard assisted in the services. The sermon was of Odd Fellowes, of which Mr. Terrell had been a member for nearly forty years, had charge of the funeral. The interment was at Harmony cemetery. POWERS GUARANTEE THE OPEN DOOR IN ABYSSINIA French WILL Finish Railroad From Addis Abeba to Coast.

He cmployed -all his aldquence to divert Akoulina from her purpose; he assured her that his in- tentions were honorable, promined ber ‘that he would never give her cauxe to re- pent, that he would obey ber in every- thing, and earnestly entreated her not to deprive him of the joy of seeing her alone, if only once a day, oF even only twice A week.

MANHATTAN AND BRONX Sunday at Olympic Field, 136th street and Lenor avenue, the Quaker Giants played the strong team from Newbury a member of the inter-state league, which had Matthewson in the pitcher's box Matthewson was supposed to be a strong addition to the Newbury team, but the Quaker Giants landed on his field whenever they felt disposed. This delivery was his goal of McGraw's late finds for the National League and is a brother of the great pitcher, Christy Matthewson. The game started as scheduled at 3:30 with the Giants in the field. At the expiration of the first inning Capt. Burns of the East 120th street station, with the assistance of a few plain clothes men, arrived with Giants, and also was the pitcher and umpire. This interference delayed the game a few moments, and caused not only some mild excitement on the part of the 7,000 rooters, but some highly indignant expressions of opinion in no complimentary manner of the high-handed proceedings of the police. The Manhattan club and the police and repentance in hand, preventing the game, and the injunction proceedings were to have been heard the following Wednesday. The injunction was in force Sunday but the police evidently do not obey orders from the higher court. Nevertheless a cute trick had been fixed for the police. Fearing this opposition the Quaker Giants had put in a defensive pitching action in which the pitcher was resumed they in their artist, Earle by name. Johnson, the crack catcher; was playing first, and in Monroe's absence, owing to an injured arm, proved a great card. The second inning had been just completed when the police again came, and this time arrested the battery of the Newbury team, by the police intervention so far, that tussle. After this second interiminction, which allowed the bleacherites a second blast at the police force, someone noticed a balloon in the air, which, too, had to go up to escape the police, as they were at the same time busy interfering with the aeronaut's ascension at the Polo Grounds. The game was started and finished with the players in the final inning of the Giants' hit when hits were needed, and the result was not in doubt, although the Newburg play the pure article and have some excellent material in the club make-up. During the last inning Buckner pitched and showed good speed and control. Where he shines in particular is in the manner in which he fields his position. The other players were in the ball, and when it comes to a comparison the Quaker Giants are head and shoulders above all other Afro-American ball teams in the country to-day. R. H.

Beautiful, Venerous emerged from shells encircling the balcony, which separated the various boxes, between which were clustered small electric lights in the form of stars with a colored center, electricty in the center of the Casino, white with gold trimming, which makes a restful and delightful combination of color. The dancing masters are the recipients of many most favorable compliments upon their good fortune in securing such an adequate and delightful situation for their summer outing. On this occasion several committees of many popular organizations in the city took this opportunity to speak with the management of the Casino regarding the holding of coming events in the city, which it was rumored that one of New York's finest picnics would be held there during September. The attendance was large and nurly bent on a good time, which was certainly had. Dancing was indulged in, and when one tired of dancing there was a beautiful garden, under the trees of which were tables and chairs with waiters in attendance, where refreshments could be secured. The garden is also provided with various sorts of amusement from showing alleys to a large outdoor photography gallery and a carousel. Summer outing dresses were in vogue and made the place look like a fairyland. The evening's outing continued until the late hours, when the guests of the Dancing Masters departed, voting unanimously that they had their best evening's enjoyment during the present season. More than two thousand persons attended the picnic given by Prof. Milton Anderson at Sulzer's Harlem River Park and Casino last Friday evening, July 8. It was one of the most delightful gatherings of dancers seen at Sulzer's during the present season, and one that reflected much credit upon the promoter. Mr. James A. Wilson, who recently graduated with honors from Western University, served with Mr. R. Forrester of 16 West 13th street. He has been engaged until October as agent for the Metropolitan Realty Company. St. David's church will give its annual summernight's festival in aid of St. David's Fresh Air Home at Zelitzer's Morrison Park on July 19. This worthy cause should receive generous patronage.

The Fourth of July brought a large number of young people to the Baker cottage in West Grove, N. J. The guests began to arrive on Tuesday evening Wednesday morning both cottages fairly awarded with pleasure seekers. On the afternoon of the Fourth the guests busied themselves with tennis, croquet and amusements. These were followed in the evening by a lawn fete given by the boat and hostess, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Baker. It was a beautiful light—the merry young people in their summery sunshine basked in the warmth of the lawns. Many were the compliments which were paid for the pleasure afforded. At 8:30 refreshments were served. The porch was decked with National bunting and Japanese lanterns. A large table was set on the lawn, and the guests spared no pain in satisfying their appetites.

Nevertheless each train and boat leaving New York carried its party of New Yorkers bound for Asbury Park. So on the morning of July 4, despite the inclementy of the weather, the opening of the ever popular Whitehead House for the season of 1900 at this famous summer resort was attended by a large and jolly guest, the emperor of the house, and the surroundings mines. The evening of the 3d was spent on the veranda by guests who were making new friends or meeting old ones; also in dancing and various parlor games. The usual excursions to the beach took place early the next morning and the bathers found the water very rough. In fact, two young ladies had fainting spells out in the surf but were safely rushed ashore by gallant male bathers. After the bathers dinner, for a dance the Whitehead house found a dance given the guests by the house management at Lyric Hall, which was followed by the grand shop in the evening. After this a collection was served. During the evening the visitors found many kinds of amusement, some going street car riding, or driving and others calling on friends.

She particularly enjoyed the entertainment provided by the guests. Aida Overton Walker has resigned from "Myssinia" and it is said that she is now in New York city, where she is said to be instituting proceedings for a divorce. The Western papers have given, the affair considerable publicity, and name Mrs. Hattie Hopkins-Chenault as correspondent, who, they claim, came in very late at one performance, as did Mr. Walker. Neither could give any reasonable excuse for being so late, and Mrs. Walker uneconomiously packed her mother, and left her company. He was well known with her husband and her husband. The other lady members of "Myssinia" also objected to Mrs. Hopkins' action and demanded her dismissal or else they would resign, and, of course, Mrs. Hopkins had to go. So far Mr. Walker has had nothing to say. MARRIED Dec:Tazewell Albert E. Dec, of Trinidad, B. W. L. and Mrs. W. J.

Among the various clubs composed of young men in this Borough, the Eagle Enterprise and Social Club occupies a unique place. It was formally the Young Mona Progressive League, which grew out of a group of young men some ten years ago by Mrs. Annie Durrell, who became interested in these young men when they were lads in the Sunday school and organized them into a club offered by themselves for social mutual education to one another. The mutual education was small sum monthly, which was used on occasions as Christmas, Easter and Anniversary Day to show their appreciation in some substantial way of their teacher's efforts to instruct them; and for other occasions, as Christmas, Easter and Anniversary Day to show their appreciation in some substantial way of their teacher's efforts to instruct them; and for other educational institution coming under their notice. This organization of the boys has not only been a blessing to them, but of much benefit to others, affording a rallying place for the boys in the Sunday school, teaching them the virtues of generous giving. They have contributed to the Concord Baptist church, the Mayes- THE MASTER ville, Industrial School at Mayesville, S. C., and the Northeastern Federation of Women's Club; and aided several of their own members financially and otherwise. Last December, at the suggestion of Mr. B. B.

The Sunday school and Christian Endover society were both under the new regime and held fine sessions. The first meeting of the Board of Managers of the New England Baptist Missionary Convention since the Cambria conference was held in the late-terrace room of the New England Baptist Convention on the day of this work and was fully represented. Dr. W. T. Dixon presided and a large volume of business was disposed of, and the meeting was held. The meeting was the discussion of the proposed mission work in Hayti, how it should be done and under whose guidance it should be conducted. After much discussion the missionary Convention should take the work in hand, and plans for its prosecution are being decided upon. The next feature of the day's prosecution is once again the National Baptist Convention armed with authority. From that august body to make terms with the New England brethren whereby the burden of the work of borne and foreign missions might be lightened and naturally stirred the temper of the Northern brethren to animat interest, because it was thought from the action taken at the Cambridge meeting in June that the work was satisfied to shade by the decision rendered at that time. This shows that our report of the annual meeting in June was correct as to so merger, Wisdom, and the two two Baptist bodies whereby and a thorough understanding between these two Baptist bodies whereby the home and foreign mission work of each will be systematized and handled as a uniform autonomy. At the close of the meeting a full course dinner, was served by Mr. Charles J. Crowder and everybody went away satisfied—thus the third triumph of the mission Convention, all other reports to the contrary, notwithstanding. In the evening at eight o'clock quite a good sized audience greeted Dr. W. A. Credit- of Philadelphia who delivered a magnificent lecture on the importance of industrial school and college. This school is the outgrowth of a long cherished desire of Northern colored Baptists to maintain as a denomination a school in the North where young men were educated and also instruction in the higher branches without being put to the many disadvantages found at present in having to attend schools far removed from the North. The New England Convention, by motion, endorsed the work and has pledged its moral support and urges each church in the convention to lend its support. Dickson is highly in favor of the work and says that it ought to be supported. While the school is fostered by Baptists, it is non-sectarian in principles, plains curriculum. Credit was given the surplus dollars by collection for the work of the school.

Coroner's physician Hartung performed an autopsy upon the dead man to determine his death was not mud known. In his pocketbook was found a pocketbook containing $5.5S, and a silver watch and chain. Mr Newton was a married man of steady work and meant to spend two daughters, nine and eleven years, respectively. His brother, Hugh S. Newton, is a prominent member of the Concord Baptist church, the Young Men's Christian Association and is highly committed to his Christian piety and has the sympathy of the members of both church and X.

ZIONISTS READY TO UNITE. From The Star of Zion Dr. Washington, at the Willerforder Golden Jubilee, pleaded for the organic union of the Negro Methodist churches. For many long years some bishops, ministers and clergy were pleaded, but so far to no avail.
