Phil- sling Abramsmanum Vows to show in new姿态 Among the Throne. Last Friday the regular Republicans of the 12th Assembly District met and formed themselves into an organization, ordering Alderman John J. Hahn as their candidate for leader of the district. Alderman Hahn has opened headquarters at 105 West 60th street. On Saturday night a reception was held, and the headquarters were through by visitors and friends from all over the district. A large delegation of Afro-American voters from the lower end of the district was present. Mr. Hahn from now on will resemble the present energy of his campaign. His headquarters will be open day and night, and his Republican friends are working with might and me, to ensure the success of his candidate. Told them Tammany Wouldn't Stand Afro-American Assemblyman. The unpromising stuff out of which Aberman Farrell, a candidate for the Republican leadership in the 15th, is made became painfully evident on last Friday week to a committee sent, by the Monitor League for the purpose of sounding him about running, an Afro-American for the Assembly from that district, where the white Republicans are outnumbered by the Afro-American Republicans nearly 200. With Mr. Farrell at this interview was Elections Commissioner Charles B. Page. When the hopeful committee put the question up to Mr. Farrell, they were astounded to receive the reply: "No, we couldn't think of it, because Tempany wouldn't stand for it." Tammany wouldn't inform what The committee naturally inquired what Tammany had to do with it, but the aspirant for leadership declined to descend into details. The committee departed, some creepfallen and some indignant. On the following Wednesday night at the full meeting of the League, it was demanded that the committee report the result of its interview with Mr. Farrell. Certain members of the committee who had been formost in managing the snap meeting of the League which endorsed Farrell's candidacy—at which only 42 votes out of the League's membership of nearly 300 were cast for him—had recognised the discredit which would be reflected on themselves by the humiliating reply of their candidate, had decided that no report of the interview would be rendered. But the League was so insistent for the report that finally Mr. Frederick Willcopin, a member of the committee, arose and let the cat out of the bag. When the unfortunate truth became known, there was general resentment, and the ranks of those members who consider the endorsement of Farrell ill advised and precipitate—especially in view of the picnic which the League is now trying to pull off—were immediately largely increased. Self-respecting Republicans can have no use for a candidate who has to take the wishes of Tammany. Hall into consideration. MUSICAL EDUCATION FREE; SHOULD YOU LIKE TO'GET IT? Ithaca Conservatory Offers Many Scholarships Grants. ITHACA, N. Y., August 3.—Mr. George C. Williams, general manager of the Ithaca Conservatory of Music, announces that examinations will be held on September 10 and 11 for free scholarships in the conservatory. Two scholarships will be awarded for each Congressional district in New York State. Information and application blanks will be furnished by Mr. Williams on request. The expense of the scholarships is defrayed by an established fund, and the only concern of the management is to secure talented and worthy students. There are many Afro-American young men and women with musical ambitions who ought to jump at this opportunity. PRAISES HIS ARRANGEMENT OP OLD PLANTATION MELODIES Prof. Borewski's Tribute to Clark Smith, Well-known Composer. CHICAGO, August 3. — Prof. Folix Borewski, teacher of composition at the Chicago Musical Conservatory, remarked of the New Jubilee Songs as arranged by Prof. Clark Smith, an Afro-American: "This is the first time I ever saw those songs made singable for the average choral society." Prof. Smith is a composer of some note, two of his songs having been sung at the public musicals given by the faculty of the Chicago Musical College. ANGRY POLES STORMED HOUSE OF MAN WHO SHOT SMALL GIRL Arnold Blazed Away Into Crowd That Teased Him. PHILADELPHIA, August 7.—Frank Arnold, the young Afro-American who shot at a crowd of boys who were teasing him at Second and Christian streets, last night, and hit 12 year old Stella Cusbek, of 26 Christian street, was arrested this morning by Hendrickson, a special policeman of the Seventh and Carpenter streets station house. Arnold was chased by a crowd of angry Polanders after he had shot the girl. The foreigner's stormed Arnold's home at 330 Water street, where he was hiding, but he escaped by sliding out of the back-door. To the police he said "that he could not bear the teasing of the boys who every time he goes out call him "Turkey in the straw." Stella Cusbek was not seriously injured. The bullet was extracted from her shoulder at the Pennsylvania Hospital, after which she was sent home. Arnold will be given a hearing tomorrow morning by Magistrate Coward. Forty Get Porters' Jobs. WICURRA, Kas, August 3.—All the railroads centering in Wichita have placed Afro-American partners on every passenger train running in and out of the city. This means the employment of some thirty-five or forty Afro-Americans. WINDOLPH A CANDIDATE The shifting of Assembly district lines effected by the recent reapportionment has made the new 9th Assembly district one of the two most important so far as Afro-Americans are concerned. The old 11th, of which the 9th is mostly made up, already contained a large population of Afro-Americans; and to the reapportionment added nearly a thousand voters from the old 13th Assembly district. The total number of Afro-American voters in the 9th is now about 3,000, only a few less than the largest Afro-American district in the county, namely, the new 13th. JOHN P. WINDOLPH. The Northern Afro-American, because he has full political rights, is under the most pressing responsibilities to use his ballot wisely. He has not only to maintain his own political standing, but to keep always in mind his duty to assist with the powerful weapon of the suffrage his disfranchised brothers in the South. The very first thing which a conscientious Afro-American voter should do is to choose carefully among the various candidates the man who will make him the very best Assembly District leader, Every ambitious Afro-American voter know show absolutely his chances of rising depend on whether the leader is friendly, indifferent or hostile towards the race. It happens that in the 9th district the choice of a leader is very easy for Afro-Americans. Of the candidates for leader, one only has ever given them proper political recognition. This one is Mr. John P. Windolph. His opponent has never done one thing for Afro-Americans, and it seems never to have occurred to him after election day that there were Afro-Americans on the earth. Mr. Windolph, on the contrary, has in the past GEORGE M. KIETH. generously rewarded the Afro-American voters of his district. They have, under his leadership, long been represented on the County Committee and on the district committees; and the appointments for them he has secured have been many and solid. Mr. Windolph is personally of a very plessing disposition, and has, as all Afro-Americans who know him will attest, not the smallest particle of race prejudice in his make-up. He is therefore highly popular among the Afro-Americans, of the old 11th, where he was leader for nine consecutive terms. As Mr. Windolph is just and fair, the additional claims made upon him by the increased number of Afro-Americans in his district will, in case he is elected at the primaries, be squirrelly and fully satisfied. It is said that the Afro-American representation from the 9th on the County Committee will be largely increased, and that the District will probably have an Afro-American delegate to the Republican State Convention. Mr. Windolph was one of those admirable German-Americans who in such large numbers fought for the Union and for the abolition of slavery in the Civil War. In 1922 he enlisted in the Seventh New York Volunteers, from which he was honorably discharged in 1898. He re-enlisted immediately in the Second New Jersey Cavalry, and received an- other honorable discharge in 1865. For more than 80 years he has been a member of James C. Hoe Post, No. 29, G. A. R. In 1864 Mr. Windsolph was nominated and elected by the Republican party as a member of the Assembly from the 13th district, and in 1865 he was re-elected to the Assembly. In 1864 he was elected Alderman from the 15th district, and from 1865 to 1897 served as vice-president of the Board of Aldermen. In 1866 he was elected leader of the 11th Assembly district, and has been re-elected as leader for nine successive terms. In 1896 he was appointed Agent Commissioner and is now serving in that capacity. In 1806 he was a delegate to the National Convention which nominated William McKinley; and in 1806 was elected a delegate to the National Convention which nominated Theodore Roosevelt. He has always been a Republican. The Afro-Americans of the 9th Assembly district are fortunate in having an opportunity to elect as leader so square and so friendly a man as Commissioner Windolph. In the old 11th section of the new 9th the Afro-Americans have a strong organization with George M. Keith as executive member and leader, Julius W. Watson as president and William T. Hooper as chairman of the executive committee. In the upper end of the district the Afro-Americans have a vigorous temporary organisation with George L. Lee as president, assisted by such strong Republicans as James Turner and Mr. Pelham. Mr. Keith, the Afro-American leader of the 9th, was born in Tennessee and cast his first vote for Grant. He came shortly afterwards to New York and has become very popular in his district by his carpet efforts in behalf of his people. All of them in his district know his willingness at any hour of the night or day to go to the front in their interest. Mr. Keith is popular among the Afro-Americans in his district, in the organization there is not one voice dissuading from his leadership. He is trusted and honored by Commissioner Windolph, and is called into every conference in which anything of importance in the district comes up. MAJOR R. R. WEIGHT WILL DELIVER ADDRESS AT OBERLIN Will Tell Missionary Ann's How Nogre Affects Civilization. CHARLESTON, 8. O. August 4.—Major R. R. Wright has been invited by the officers of the executive committee of the American Missionary Association to deliver an address at the sixteenth annual meeting of this Association, to be held in Oberlin, Ohio, on October 24. They have asked him to speak on the subject, "How Has the Negro Affected the Civilization of the World?" "This is a great honor, as the platform of the American Missionary Association is much sought after by many distinguished men. SIX MEN LYNCHED WHILE MILITIA STANDS AND LOOKS Sheriff and Guard of Fifty "Overpowered" by the Mob. SALISBURY, N. C., August 6.—At 11 o'clock to night a mob of several hundred from Sallibury and surrounding country overpowered Sheriff D. R. Julian, Jailler J. H. Krider and fifty guards and took from the jail the six Afro-Americans charged with the murder of the Lyerly family, near this city, three weeks ago. The prisoners were carried to the outskirts of the city, where they were lynched. The military company was called out, but was powerless in the face of the mob. At the first attack several shots were fired in the jail door, and J. C. McLondon of Spencer, Sells and Mauney were dangerously shot. Private Maxwell of the Rowan Rifles, was also shot in the foot. The firing of pistols became promiscuous and the militia, not having authority from the Governor to shoot, left the scene. Delegates Elected to National Session in October. ASHURY PARK, N. J., August 2.—The local Afro-American Council held one of its rousing meetings Tuesday night, July 31, in the Springwood avenue A. M. E. Z. church, which remanded one of old campaign days. The meeting opened with Rev. J. D. Mend, D. D., in the chair. The appreciative audience was immensely public spirited and deeply in sympathy with the movement. Mr. John Richardson during his speech said: "The Afro-American Council stands for equity and justice, and there are many grave questions that confront the citizens of this town—through the Council we must see that our children's rights are not curtailed." At the conclusion of Mr. Richardson's speech Rev. Meade invited to the chair Rev. A. E. Penson, a man possessing unquenchable real for the uplift and protection of his race. Rev. Meade then made an impassionate speech. Messrs. L. C. Hubbert; R. S. Cottene and P. A. McDougall were enthusiastic, logical and convincing in their addresses. Rev. Jensen upon leaving the chair said: "We are confronting great and serious problems, and they are very grave problems. There are times when we should express our sentiments candidly and straightforwardly, and always be men." Mr. George F. King, the assistant national organizer of the Afro-American Council, made a short, forbible speech, in which he said: "You must be systematic and definite in your efforts to bring about the success desired." The following members were elected as delegates to represent the local Council at the national meeting at New York in October: Messrs. R. S. Cottene and P. A. McDougall, and alternates. Mrs. Nora Richardson and Dr. Hubbard. The meeting was not radical; no public meeting could have been more thoroughly dignified. CHANEL'S HIDDEN BOUNDARY CHARLES JEROME BONAPARTE: LADY OF SIEGEL COOPER Story of a Green Tennessee Girl's Pluck, Grit and Success. CHICAGO, August 4. The Detroit Informer last week printed the following interesting story: Among the delegates to the big women's convention two weeks ago was a remarkable young woman in the person of Miss Mattie Jannette Johnson, of Chicago, who holds a fine position with the manmoth concern of Siegel, Cooper & Co. Miss Johnson is manager and head saleslady of the canned goods department and has been employed by the firm for upwards of ten years. The story of how Miss Johnson won her way to the hearts of her employers is a remarkable one. Coining from Tennessee a green girl, she determined upon arriving in Chicago to become a clerk in the big store of Siegel Cooper & Co., and accordingly made her way to their place of business and asked to see the manager. This gentleman was loath to spare even a moment to this comely, prepossessing and decidedly Afro-American girl, but her persistent manner and direct speech attracted his attention to the extent that he asked her what she could do, to which Miss Johnson replied, "Anything except keeping your books. I am not capable of doing that." Miss Johnson continued to call until one day a big sale was inaugurated and the manager employed her as an "extra." It was not long after that sale before Miss Johnson was given regular employment, and the management is said to have declared that she could sell more goods than any three clerks in their employ. Miss Johnson's success is an example of true grit and determination to succeed in spite of all obstacles and we extend to her our hearty congratulations. ALABAMA WHITE SLAVES WERE CHASED BY BLOODHOUNDS Reach Mobile in State of Collapse, Covered With Wetts. MOBILK, Ala., July 28.—The three men who arrived from the camps of the Jackson Lumber Company, at Lockhart, Ala., where they had been held against their will, were a pitiful sight when they appeared before the United States District Attorney, and later before the United States Commissioners at Pensacola. One of the men is a German, while the other two are Americans. Before going to the office of the commissioner the men were at the police station and there one of them, John Cook, collapsed from weakness and from what he had undergone. He had been badly beaten, he alleged, and for a time he could not leave the station, but finally gained enough strength to get to the office of the United States Commissioner, where he told his story. The other American, Lyman, while apparently not so weak, showed signs of having been more brutally treated than his comrade. There were great welts over his arms, back, face and neck, and in some places there were cuts in the flesh. Lyman said that these were made by losses of the camp, who had caught him with a bloodhound and as he was attempting to escape, tied him to a tree and gave him a beating. His coat was torn, he said, by the bloodhound. He further said he went to Florida under the promise of $1.50 per day and board, but that he had never received and money, receiving as pay only checks upon the commissary. After working for months for nothing, he said, he decided to run away. Knowing what others had experienced who had attempted to escape, he says, he with others started at night, but were overtaken, were beaten and taken back to the camp and put to work. WIMBS OUT FOR LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR OF ALABAMA Announcement Candidacy In Letter, to J. O. Thompson, GREENSBORO, Ala., August 4.—Ad Wimbs of this city, one of the well-known Afro-Americans of Alabama, and who was a delegate to the last National Republican Convention, has addressed a letter to Chairman J. O. Thompson of the Republican State committee, announcing his candidacy for the office of Heutenant governor at the approaching primary. RESIST ALETHEA FOLEY'S SUIT WITH ANTI-INTERMARRIAGE LAW Ohio Statute In Force After Her Alleged Union With Hearn. CINCINNATI, August 2.—An attorney who came here as the representative of an Eastern publishing house in the case of Alethea Foley, the Afro-American woman who says she is the widow of Lafcadia Hearn, stated in the Probate Court to-day that the woman's claim would be resisted on the one issue that the marriage of a white to an Afro-American is not legal in Ohio. The Legislature on January 31, 1801, passed a law making it unlawful for white and Afro-American persons to wed in Ohio, and illegal for any court in Ohio to grant a license for the marriage of white and Afro-American people. That law was in effect until its repeal, July 1, 1877, some time after the alleged marriage. The publishing house was intertwined through royalties due to the heirs from Hearn's book. PROBABLY ONLY AFRO-AMERICAN GOLD MELTER IN THE WORLD Geo. P. Titus Head of Department in Canton, O., Watch Works. CANTON, Ohio, August 6.—Mr. George P. Titus, an Afro-American is at the head of the melting and plating departments at the Deubehr-Hampden watch-case factory, one of the largest concerns of its kind in the world. Mr. Titus is an expert in his line of work, and can melt any quality or karet of gold that is used in the manufacturing of watches. Mr. Titus is also a practical metallurgist. He has "invented" a metal which is used in the construction of watch works and which the Deubehr-Hampden concern formerly purchased from outside dealers. They now manufacture it themselves, thus saving thousands of dollars. Mr. Titus, with five other Afro-Americans, makes this metal. The formula for making the metal this Afro-American gold melter, wrought out himself. Through Mr. Titus' influence more than half a dozen other Afro-Americans, have been given employment in this Canton watch-case factory. Mr. Titus was born and reared at Princeton, N. J. GETS LETTER FROM BROTHER AFTER 57 YEARS' SILENCE Walter West Gold Hunting in '49 and Never Wrote to Henry. PHILADELPHIA, August 7.—Fifty-seven years ago when the forty-inners were starting West in the search for gold, Walter Johnson, a brother of Henry Johnson, veteran deputy marshal at the United States branch of the police court, sailed for California from Philadelphia in the brig. Ralph Cross. Since that time Henry Johnson lost all track of his brother. Repeated efforts to locate him were without avail until thirty years ago, when Mr. Johnson learned that his brother was living in the State of Washington. Mr. Johnson has written letters to nearly every town and city in the Pacific Coast, but none of them ever reached his brother. Some time ago Mr. Johnson's daughter wrote a letter addressed to Walter Johnson, Cancade, Wash. Yesterday morning an answer came, and for the first time for fifty-seven years Mr. Johnson received a letter from his brother. It was the first communication any member of the family had received from the gold-seeker since he left Philadelphia in '40. The letter stated that he is now a prosperous humber dealer, and told of adventures familiar to all who went West, when the discovery of gold in California turned the tide of fortune hunters to the Pacific Coast. Mr. Johnson stated that he had been married, and that he had two grown up children, both of whom are living. His wife died several years ago. Mrs. Susan Lane, who resides at 1811 South Resewood street, is a sister. Car Conductor Jumped on Her. CHATTANOOSA, Tenn., August 7—Mrs. William Caswell, wife of nn A. M. E. minister was knocked down and jumped on the other day by a burly white street car conductor because she objected to the coarse manner in which he ordered her to change her seat. She is still confined to her bed. No Place in America for People Who Can't Stand Sturdily on Their Own Feet WASHINGTON, August 7.—The chief feature of the sessions of the Young People's Christian and Educational Congress which adjourned Sunday after a five days' session, was the address on the first day by Secretary of the Navy Bonaparte. The Secretary, who victoriously led the fight against disfranchisement in Maryland during Senator Gorinn's last campaign, praised the Afro-American people as the only dark race which has ever looked the Anglo-Saxon in the face and yet prospered; but warned them that there is no place in this country for a race which can't stand on its own feet; such a race, said he, must inevitably be crowded to the wall and crushed against it. It seems his belief that, as the Afro-American people have so far escaped this catastrophe, they will continue to do so. He said in full: "In the little time I shall trespass upon your attention to-day I propose to speak on a topic which has long been interesting to me and which can hardly fall to have some measure of interest for you also. I refer to the probable future of the Negro race in the United States. What part in American civilization will be played by you, or, if not by you, by our children and descendants? This question is no less difficult than interesting. I do not pretend to be a prophet. I shall therefore to-day make no attempt at prediction, but only call your attention to two features of your situation as a people, which, to my mind, afford at once food for thought and ground for a reasonable hope as to what is to be. "The first of these is the undoubted fact that the Negro race is the only one which has even been able to live with white people, both races increasing and prospering on a large scale. "There are, indeed, certain climates in which the white man cannot live or, at least, cannot retain his qualities. In these one may be a conqueror or ruler, but not an inhabitant, or, if he become an inhabitant, it is at the cost of degenerating both physically and morally. Thus many descendants of European colonists in certain parts of the New World, even when they are of unmixed blood, are white men only in name and color; they are indistinguishable both in character and habits from Indians or half-castes among whom they live. "But wherever, as in the temperate and cold regions of America, South Africa, Australia and the islands of the South Sea, he can make himself and has made himself at home, his presence has been fatal to all other races, except that to which you belong; Indians and Australians and Polynesians have died off before him, but the black race has not. On the contrary, I think it is pretty well established that, although black men can live in some climates in which white men cannot, there is no climate in which white men can live in which black men cannot, and by 'live' I mean live without loss of health and vigor. "There is no doubt that the black people of the United States are stronger and better-looking and more healthy, besides being vastly more enlightened, than the present people of the west coast of Africa; transplanting the race to this continent has strengthened instead of weakened it; and I see no reason to think that any of its good qualities are lost in a moderately cold climate, such as that of New England or Canada. "Now, this peculiarity constitutes an enormous advantage. The greatest difficulty about enlightening backward races is the same that was found in teaching the horse to live on shavings; just when he had learned this useful habit he died of starvation; so the South Sea Islanders have, in one sense, taken very kindly to civilization, but just when we think we can fairly call them civilized we find that there are no South Sea Islanders left, or so few that they are hardly worth the trouble of civilizing. "The other good thing to which I would direct your attention this evening is that you can't get rid of the white people. You can neither get away from them nor drive them away from you. In certain Negro communities it is forbidden white men to own real estate or acquire political rights, and even were there no such laws the deadly climate would probably have answered the same purpose. But in such countries the outlook is decidedly unpromising; it has been questioned whether they are moving forward at all; some competent and unprejudiced observers see, or think they see, a tendency in these communities to relapse into barbarism, although it should be said in fairness that certain current impressions on this subject are due in large part to observers neither unprejudiced nor competent. Moreover, in some islands of the neighboring West Indies, where public order is strictly maintained by a strong and enlightened government, but where the white population has almost wholly emigrated or died out, the result has been unsatisfactory, although in a less degree. The colored population of these islands is said to be growing in numbers; there is a little want or suffering there, and crimes of violence are rare. But the standard of material comfort is low and the habits and domestic relations of the people are irregular. This is not so bad a state of things as might be imagined, but it can hardly be called a good one. "Nor is there much difficulty as to the cause of all this. It is an old saying that 'all sorts of people are needed to make up a world.' To cut black people of them white people whether by law or by national means, unto them all at the same time from the only real course of improvement to themselves. I have opinion of the ingenious theory of scientific man as to why the common rat gets ahead of all others. His will have been sharpened by having to elude all sorts of devices contrived for his destruction, and so, in the course of many generations, he has become a superior animal. "I expect the same causes to produce a similar result in you. You cannot afford to be lazy and ignorant and vicious, for all around you, pruning you on every side, is a race with which you have to compete whether you wish to or not and which it will tax all your energies to struggle against. There is no room in America for people who cannot take care of themselves. "I am one of those who feel strongly the repeated injustice and frequent persify which have marked our treatment of the Indians, but, after all has been said, the Indians would not or could not—at all events did not—learn how to work in competition with white men, and they have been first pushed to the wall and then crushed against it. You must either share their fate or profit by their example. You cannot, in this country, 'rest and be thankful,' for if you try to do this you will soon have nothing to be thankful for. The idle and sensual and benighted are never really free, and America now is a country only for freemen." The Congress met at Convention hall on Tuesday of last week with an attendance much smaller than had been anticipated. Many of the most prominent Afro-Americans from all over the country were present. Addresses the first day were made by Secretary. of the Navy Charles. Jerome Bonaparte. Commissioner H. L. West. Hon. John C. Dancy. Bishop Gaines and others. The bishop advised the raising of a fund of $100,000 to employ the best legal talent to resist invasions of our rights. The chief speakers on the second day were Register W. T. Vernon, Bishop Charles S. Smith and Rev. William De Berry, Rev. W. A. Fountain; Prof. Wm. Pickena. During the afternoon a telegram was received from Dr. Booker T. Washington, in which he expressed regret at being unable to attend the session of the congress, but wished it all success. Dr. W. H. Goler, president of Livingstone College, was also a speaker, as were Rev. H. H. Proctor, Dr. M. C. B. Mason and Bishop R. S. Williams. On the third day the principal address was delivered by Prof. S. G. Atkina. Other speakers were Rev. A. J. Rowland, Rev. J. L. Thomas and Giles B. Jackson. At night a concert was given at Convention hall under the direction of Prof. J. T. Layton of the S. Coleridge-Taylor Choral Society. On the fourth day Bishop Walters presided. The leading speakers were Hon. J. F. Bush, Mr. R. R. Wright, Prof. J. Garland Penn and Prof. Scarborough. On Sunday special services were held in all the churches. Sunday night was held the largest meeting of the session, about 6,000 turning out at Convention Hall. The feature was the reading of an address by the Congress to the American people. It was optimistic and sane. The election of officers resulted as follows: President, Bishop George W. Clinton; A. M., D. D., of North Carolina; vice-president, Rev. J. W. Browen, D. D., of Atlanta, Ga.; corresponding secretary, P. J. Bryant of Atlanta, Ga.; treasurer, Bishop R. S. Williams, D. D., of Augusta, Ga.; financial secretary, Prof. John R. Hawkins, of Kittrel, N. G.; statistical secretary, Prof. Kelly Miller of Howard University, Washington, D. C. It was announced that Bishop Galnes, the retiring president, had stated that the time had come for him to give notice that he preferred some one else for the presidency. Bishop Clinton was then elected. Rev. S. N. Vass of Raleigh, N. C., official statistician of the congress, was a candidate to succeed Prof. I. Garland Penn as corresponding secretary, but Rev. P. J. Bryant was elected. Mr. Penn had declined to be renominated, declaring that his duties as assistant general secretary of the Edworth League of the A. M. E. church, which administers the affairs of 3,000 chapels, would make an additional task too onorous to bear. Earlier in the session a vote of thanks was tendered him for the manner in which he had discharged the duties of his office. KANSAS COMPANY MAKING MONEY FROM OIL WELLS Prof. Kealing Pronounces the Enter- prise Most Important. CHICAGO, August 5.—The Black Diamond Development company, a corporation composed of Afro-Americans and organized several months ago for the purpose of developing oil and gas lands in southeast Kannas, is achieving unexpected success. Two wells have been bought that will yield the company at least $100 per day. Prof. H. T. Kealing of Philadelphia made a careful inspection of the company's property some weeks ago and pronounces it as one of the most important enterprises that has been undertaken by the Afro American people in the West. Another Fresh Air Home. A delightful fresh air home has been opened up at Delowanna, a beautiful station ten miles out on the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Railroad. A committee from some of the leading colored churches are at the head of the work. The grounds are spacious, well shaded and beautiful, with large park full of fine old shade trees. A group of happy children are romping on the campus, while their tired mothers, glad to get out of the hot blast of the city, are sitting around in pictureque groups. All is free. Railroad fares paid and parents and children kept without cost. 'As fast as the group returns, another is sent through the indefatigible work of Miss Grace Forman, connected with the Colored Mission in 30th street. This mission,' through its noble head, Mrs. Kilmer, has done a world of good in the long years it has so faithfully served the colored people. Mrs. M. E. Harris, Matron of the Lincoln Nurses Home, is in charge of the home. Dr. Charles S. Morris is deeply interested in raising funds to keep it goaling. Some time ago T. Thomas Fortune said that the colored vote in the North and West could do a great deal to modify conditions in the South if it was only used wisely. When the Grand Lodge of the Improved Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks convenes in Brooklyn on August 28, 29 and 30, it will find that through the indefatigable and painstaking efforts of the Legislative Committee representing Brooklyn, Progressive and Manhattan Lodges everything has been arranged not only for a successful meeting, but for the comfort, convenience and pleasure of the delegates and visitors as well. It is much regretted, however, and by none more than the three lodges mentioned, that, owing to the action of B. F. Howard, Grand Exalted Ruler of the order, in changing the place of meeting this year from Brooklyn to Columbus. J. O., after the former place had been selected by the Grand Lodge, a split in the order is inevitable; but these three lodges are receiving much commendation, for refusing to permit such usurpation of authority on the part of the Grand Exalted Ruler to pass unchallenged. The reasons for changing the place of meeting as given by the Grand Exalted Ruler seem rather unworthy of a man at the bead of an organization composed of 14,000 American citizens. The portion of his proclamation relative to this phase of the matter is as follows: "Whereas, At the last session it was decided that the next Grand Lodge Session be held in Brooklyn, N. Y., in the month of August, 1906, I, as the Grand Exalted Ruler, have found it wise and beneficial to move Grand Lodge to the city of, Columbus, Ohio, on account of the laws of the State of New York prohibiting Colored Elks from wearing pins and badges in said State. The bill passed is known as the Gratton Bill and was aimed at Colored Elks." The three local lodges say that the law referred to is not aimed particularly ```markdown ``` WM. L. POPR. Organizer of Brooklyn Lodge. at Afro-American Elks, but granting that his reasons for changing the place were of the purport, they cannot see that anything may be gained by fleeing from a presumed danger. It is their opinion that Mr. Howard has made a bad mistake, all the more apparent now since the decision of the courts of New York discharging a member nominally arrested but not incarcerated, under the provisions of the act above referred to. It is said that Programme Lodge of Jersey City attempted to heal the breach by proffering that city as the place of meeting when they learned that the Grand Exalted Ruler had decided to change the place for the reasons stated. To their minds if the Grand Exalted Ruler wished to be fair and his reasons for changing the place were solely those indicated in his proclamation he could have made no better compromise than by accepting the proffer; though not from the standpoint of his right to make any change whatever from the place agreed upon by the Grand Lodge. Such action upon his part would no doubt have been reluctantly acceded to by the lodges most directly concerned. It is believed by the members of those three lodges that the cause given by him for making the change is a mere subterfuge. It is said that some of the members of these lodges made things pretty warm at the last session, and possibly Mr. Howard had his ear to the ground ever since and has heard ominous rumblings. The three lodges sent a committee of three to Covington, Ky., to endeavor to prevail upon the Grand Exalted Ruler to issue his proclamation in accordance with the decree of the Grand Lodge and convene it at Brooklyn, but to no avail. It would indeed be surprising if under G.E. BATES the circumstances the majority of the lodges did not rally to the support of the lodges whose efforts in this instance are to perpetuate the fundamental principles of majority rule without which no organization can long exist with success. Present indications are that the meeting will be a huge success: over 50 lodges have already signified their intention to send their representatives to Brooklyn and every elected Grand Lodge officer will be present at this meeting with the exception of course of the Grand Exalted Ruler, and even should be, at this late date, see the error of his way we are informed that he will be welcome to come and occupy his position as presiding officer. A word as to the makeup of the three lodges leading this fight against one man rule might not be amiss at this time. Manhattan Lodge of New York City is yet under two years of age, and is composed of some of the very best citizens of the city; its membership of over two hundred is made up principally of young men, among them quite a sprinkling of professional men. Mr. Sandy P. Jones, the present Exalted Ruler, is a man of good executive capacity and a skillful parliamentarian. It is mainly through his efforts and ability that the lodge holds the enviable position it does in the order of Elkdom. Brooklyn Lodge, No. 32, is the mother lodge of the order in the State; it has a membership of four hundred and is in a very prosperous condition. The Exalted Ruler of this lodge is Edward Elmore Brock, a man of ability, the correctness of which praise is attested by the fact that he is now serving his third term as Exalted Ruler. Progressive Lodge, No. 35, of Jersey City, deserves credit for the part it is taking in this fight; it has stood manfully by Brooklyn and New York in every step they have taken. It has a membership of 178, among whom are several professional men, and the makeup of its membership in its entirety ranks favorably for ability, energetic action and faithfulness to principles. George E. Bates, Grand Esteemed Loyal Knight of the Grand Lodge, is Exalted Ruler of this lodge, and is now serving his sixth successive term. Arrangements for the meeting of the Grand Lodge, are nearing completion. The meeting will be held in Summer Hall, 1584 Fulton street, where the entire upper part of the building has been secured for the purpose. It consists of a large auditorium in which the public meeting will be held on the first day, and several smaller halls for committee meetings, etc. After the first day's session the delegates and friends will be given a trip to Coney Island by steamer; on the evening of the second day will be a picnic by Brooklyn Lodge; and on the third day immediately after the session, the lodges will form for parade. The following lodges will attend in a body accompanied by their own bands: Hampton, Va., Pittsburgh, Pa., Chicago, Ill., Brooklyn, Jersey City, New York, Boston, Seranton, Pa., Atlantic City, and several others that have not as yet completed their arrangements. The indications are that the seventh annual session of the Grand Lodge will be one of the most successful affairs ever held in that city. ARE LESS SUSCEPTIBLE TO DEAFNESS THAN BLINDNESS Statistica Compare Afro-Americans and Whites. Afro-Americans, according to a statistical report, constitute 11.6 per cent. of the general population and only 5.2 per cent. of the deaf. That the Afro-Americans seem less susceptible to deafness than the whites is probably due in part to less complete returns from the Afro-American deaf. The proportion of Afro-Americans is larger among those becoming deaf in childhood and also among the totally deaf than it is in the aggregate deaf population. The number of blind per 100,000 of population was greater among the Afro-Americans than among the whites, and greater among the foreign born whites than among the native whites, the difference in each case being more marked for the totally blind than for the partially blind. The differences in the proportions for the native and the foreign born whites are due very largely to the difference in the age distribution of the two classes, the great majority of the foreign born whites being adults, among whom blindness is more common. MAIL ORDER BUSINESS Startling Success of a Young Man in Chicago Doing Thousands of Dollars Worth of Trade—What Shan't We Do Next? Special Correspondence of The Age. CHICAGO, August 5.—Several of the young Afro-American men in Chicago and other places in the West are showing commendable enterprise in carving out new avenues for substantial money-making. One of the most interesting incidents is the success that some of them are making in the line of what is called the mail order business. One young man especially, Mr. George Calloway, has won notable success in this new field of enterprise. For several years young Calloway was employed in one of the largest tailoring establishments in Chicago. His work at first was only menial, but he became so efficient that he was finally given a more responsible service. His only ambition was to win promotion and more salary as a reward for patient and conscientious service. He studied carefully all the details of the business and was recognized as one of the most valuable men in their employ, but the firm would not promote him. Though he was doing the work of a high-salaried man, they would not take him out of the porter's class. The more he deserved promotion the less were his employers inclined to establish the precedent of giving an Afro-American a white man's place. Finally with the pluck and energy of a real self-reliant man, he resigned from his position and started out for himself. In less than three years he has developed his mail order business in the South and Southwest to the extent of having hundreds of agents, and is shipping thousands of dollars' worth of goods in every direction. He is doing the same thing and is succeeding to the same extent of the largest mail order houses in the world when first started. The Calloway Catalogues are becoming the best known business literature in many of the remote corners of the South, where our poor ignorant people have been paying several prices for merchandise, and in so many cases so much more than it is worth. In this business everything is sold from a paper of pins to a piano. Several young men have gone into the same kind of enterprise and are achieving commendable success. These young men are our budding merchant princes, and what they are no successfully doing is the first step toward the establishment of a merchant class, which in the near future will be heard from in a large way. Douglass Center Provides Vacation School in Black Belt. CHICAGO, August 4.—For the first time in the history of Chicago Afro-American children in the Black Belt are enjoying the luxuries of a vacation school, thanks to the Frederick Douglass Center. Hundreds of colored children are being saved from evil associations and hot and dusty streets and are engaged in congenial tasks, such as clay modeling, light manual training for the boys and sewing for the girls, cooking, kitchen gardening, first aid to the sick and weekly excursions to the green fields and country woods.

Ever since the time when Florence Nightingale showed the world by her example how great a blessing to the sick and wounded were the presence and helpful attentions of a refined woman, the nursing profession has attracted to its ranks many of the best women in all civilized countries. Many ladies of high social position have gone to the great English and Scottish hospitals for training and have in many cases paid considerable premiums for their training. They have done this, not because they have any need to earn their living, but because they recognize that in the work of nursing the sick poor, they have an opportunity of Christlike service of a more genuine and practical kind, than can be obtained in almost any other sphere. It is well known how during the late war the Japanese ladies of all ranks employed themselves in nursing the wounded soldiers who were brought in after battles, and their gentle and skilful attention was lavished upon wounded Russians and Japanese alike. How wonderfully this service of love must have softened the tragedy of that terrible war. Here in South Africa we are backward in this as in so many other things. But, in the Victoria Hospital at Love-dale a beginning has been made in the training of native nurses, and such work only needs a beginning to ensure its success. The training in the Victoria Hospital is the same as that given in the leading Scotch and London hospitals except that, of course, the appliances in a small hospital are not so complete as in a large hospital. The nurses at present in the Victoria Hospital are Cecilia Makiwane, who has just completed her three years' training. Nokone Matadi, Bobina Poawa and Father Chain. Near 80th Street Mme. J. L.

American election district captains and the voters. At the convention Mr. Stewart seconded the nomination of Julius M. Mayor for Attorney General of New York. In the hot primary fight in the 19th, preceding the convention, he took the stump for the organization and did effective campaign work. That fall he managed Congressman Olcott's campaign among the Afro-American voters. He became vice-president of the Colored Republican club, and was chosen by the State and National committees to stump in New York and Delaware. His work was commended by the State Committee and National Chairman Cortelyou. The service which has, most given Mr. Stewart's reputation here was his activity in the so-called race riots in San Juan Hill in August of last year, when 60 reputable Afro-Americans, every one of whom was afterwards acquitted, were thrown into jail and some of them forciously beaten by the police in the 65th street station. Mr. Stewart at once brought the assault to the attention of the Republican organization, of his district, with the result that a committee of leading white men was formed who stood over $5,000 bail for the imprisoned men. Mr. Stewart also assisted in forming a committee of Afro-Americans — now known as the Protective League—including men like Drs. Brooks and Gilbert, Anthony McCarthy, Philip A. Payton, B. F. Thomas, Wilford H. Smith and others, who preferred specific charges before HAS WRITTEN A BOOK ON HER EUROPEAN TRAVELS Mrs. Givens Donates Proceeds to Home for Poor Girls. LOUISVILLE, August 4.—"Glimpses of the Old World" is the title of a neatly printed booklet from the graceful, pen of Mrs. James E. Givens, a prominent factor in the religious, literary and social circles of Louisville, who has been for some years president of the Baptist Women's Missionary Convention of the State of Kentucky. The volume is a description of her travels and experiences during a tour of Europe, made last year as a delegate to the World's Baptist Convention at London, where the author distinguished herself by the delivery of several addresses that attracted the attention of some of the most scholarly men and women of both continents. The story is delightfully told, and bears evidence of careful regard for accuracy, as well as for an engaging style and rhetorical finish. Mrs. Givens is a close observer, and her recital of the queer feeling one has when crossing the mighty deep for the first time, her tour of London, with graphic pictures of Westminster Abbey and St. Paul's, the National Gallery and Wallace's Collection of Famous Paintings, Westminster Church and its gracious pastor, Dr. Myers; the visit to Cambridge, and John Bunyan's historic home, the social affairs in which she participated without distinction as to race, the lunch with the Russians and others, together with salient features of the Baptist World's Congress and its international influence, constitute an offering that is both rich and rare. Mrs. Givens is the first woman of our race to go abroad and give to literature, in permanent form, the benefit of her travels. Several Kentucky educators, notably Prof. Isaac Fisher, principal of the Polytechnic Institute at Danville; Miss Andrew of the public school near Richmond, and Mrs. W. M. O'Hara of Jeffersonown, have strongly endorsed the work as one of intrinsic value, and have decided to give it a place in the reading courses, of their schools. By resolution introduced by Dr. C. H. Parrish, it was complimented by the Baptist Women's Missionary Convention in open session at Danville last week. It is understood that the net proceeds derived from the sale of the book will go to provide a home for poor deserving girls, gathered from the slums and elsewhere, and to teach them to make for themselves an honest living. In addition to Mrs. Givens' story, the book contains an excellent address by Rev. John Clifford of England, president of the World's From the Washington World. Hon. Charles W. Anderson, one of the foremost colored politicians of this country, is receiving congratulations upon the great success attending his first year's administration of the office of United States Collector of Revenue for the second district of New York. Anderson Congratulated. From The Worthington World Commissioner McAdoo against Police Captain Cooney, who was in charge of the 68th street station at the time of the riots. The result was that Cooney, up to then a power in the police department, and widely known for his prejudice against Afro-Americans, was transferred to Long Island and has never been heard of since. The assurance was given that he would never be again placed in charge of a district containing any considerable number of Afro-Americans. In 1905 Mr. Stewart was elected a member of the Republican City Convention, and seconded the nomination of Mr. Charles E. Hughes for mayor for the great borough of Manhattan, for whites as well as Afro-Americans. In 1905 he became a member of the Republican County Committee, in which he has done some good work for the race. In private life Mr. Stewart is in the real estate and bonding business, with an office at 154 West 62d street. He is an active member of all movements tending to the support of the race. He is now one of the officers of the Colored Republican club, a member of the Constitutional League, the Colored Citizens Protective League and of the Afro-American Council. If the event shall show that the times are ripe for the election of an Afro-American Assemblyman, Mr. Stewart will be an excellent one, for he is a man of devotion to his people, always ready to do them any service in his power. TWO LYNCHED FOR KILLING WHITE MAN NEAR TAMPA Prisoners Taken From Sheriff, Strung Up and Riddled. TAMPA, Fla., August 4.—John Black and Will Hugins, Afro-Americans, were lynched by a mob of two hundred men near Fort Gardiner, Polk county, recently. The Afro-Americans killed Ed Granger, a white turpentine operator, it is alleged, without provocation and were captured by Sheriff G. Wigins and three deputies near the scene of the killing a few hours afterward. The mob halted the sheriff and pose and took possession of the prisoners. Both were hanged to a nearby tree, being afterward riddled with bullets. The mob immediately dispersed and the bodies were found this morning. Made Highest Average in Civil Service Examinations. BRUNSWICK, Ga., August 4.—Mr. I. Joseph Tatnall, an Afro-American employed at the Brunswick post office, recently took the civil service examination for the position of railway mail service. This week the civil service commission forwarded him 55 average, which was 90 per cent. This is the highest average made by any of those in Brunswick who took the railway mail service examination. Crier in U. S. Court Dead. LOUISVILLE, Ky., August 4.—How many people throughout the country are aware that this city had an Afro-American crier in the U. S. Court? Willis S. Kean, who had creditably filled this position for the past six years, under appointment of Judge Walter Evans, died last Friday of cancer of the stomach, at the residence of his father, 1203 Oldham street. Mr. Kean was a Mason, and this order had charge of his funeral which took place Sunday afternoon at the Church of Our Mereful Savior. Ianac Fisher in Jersey City. JERSEY CITY, August 6. President Isaac Fisher and his wife and daughter, of the State Branch Normal College of Tune Bluff, Arkansas, are stopping at 147 Grand street, the home of Mrs. Robert P. Jackson. It was at Mrs. Jackson's that Prof. Fisher received notification of his election to the presidency of the State College in Arkansas four years ago, when he had come north to do some advanced work. The position came to him unsought but he has vindicated the wisdom of the Board's choice. Governor Jeff Davis is chairman of the Board which in last June for the fifth time elected Mr. Fisher to govern the Negro State College. President Fisher is one of Dr. Booker T. Washington's graduates, and for several years represented Tuskegee Institute in the southwest. On his recent tour of the Southwest, Dr. Washington said in Pine Bluff: "The only thing I ever had against Isaac, Fisher was that he could always beat me-making a speech." Prof. Fisher is the youngest president of a State school in the South." This is an Elephant O'Story Apartment House of a class such as I have never been able before to offer to my people. I am especially anxious to secure a high class of tenants for this property, and particularly those that can live up to the requirements of the surroundings. I mean to prove by this house that the color of a tenant makes no difference. 311 West 119th Street 4 Rooms and Bath, Steam Heat and Hot Water Supply. Open Plumbing.

After Effie Page, an 18-year-old Afro-American girl, completes a sentence she is now serving in the House of Correction, she will be tried for assault and battery on the matron, Mrs. Fannie Smith. The girl had a hearing yesterday before Magistrate O'Donnell in the Frankford police station and was held in $400 bail. Mrs. Smith testified that Effie had hit her over the head with a cup without any provocation and that she might have been badly hurt if several guards had not pinioned the girls arms. To arrest, carry into court and sentence to twelve months on the chaining every colored man who may happen not to be working at the time of his arrest is unjust, inhuman and contrary to the supreme law of the land. No one can reasonably object to the punishment of those lazy individuals who lounge about in the streets and refuse to work for a livelihood; only getting it through petty stealing and the like; but we do object to the broad interpretation given the vagrancy law.

The most notable event at the Young People's Congress in Washington last week, appears to have been the address of Secretary Bonaparte. This Maryland, descendant of the great Corsican family which turned Europe topy-turvey and gave liberty an impetus which yet operates in the affairs of mankind, appears to possess a robust democracy which accords well with the great underlying principles of the American Republic, in which equality of citizenship under the law is the most preclo In one of his masterful aketches Alexander Dumas shows what a master of men Count Mirabeau was by reciting an incident of his visit to an old property which had once belonged to his family. There was a ferocious mastiff on the place. He was a powerful animal. He was kept chained for the most part, but he was at large on the occasion of Count Mirabeau's visit and made a brave dash at the great Frenchman. The latter fixed his gaze upon the approaching beast and by the magnetism of his eyes, which had cowed lords and princelings in the forum of debate, converted the animal from a fierce savage into a cringing cur. The man who can look another in the eye without wincing need fear no man. The Nation that can look the world in the eye, which has brave men as its defense, like those of the United States or Japan, need fear the aggressions of no state, however strong it may be. In the course of his remarks Secretary Bonaparte said, in substance, that the African, of all of the darker races, has been the only one who was able to look the white man in the face and prosper; and that there is no place in this country for a race which cannot stand upon its own feet, as such a race will not only be pushed to the wall but crushed against it. This is a fair statement of inexorable fact. The Afro-American people will do well to ponder these aphorisms, and to cultivate the affirmation of them with great courage and persistence. Look all men squarely in the face, and when in the right wince not, and learn the reliance that acorns to have others do for you what you can and should do for yourself. We have these qualities, but we cannot cultivate them to much. Southern Chivalry Myth. As to Southern Chivalry, a myth of venerable standing, we reproduce in another column of Tirte Août to-day a batch of newspaper reports of some of it doing in the State of Virginia, where the most chivalrous blood on the Continent is supposed to have had its head fountain, so to speak, and to have percolated from thence through all of the States of the South. One day's record of the acts of lawlessness committed by the chivalrous white Southerners, if re-printed from their own newspapers, would make the blood run cold with horror. Last Monday a New York newspaper, The New York Sun, published two patches which bear on this subject, and every daily newspaper in the South had scores of like reports on the same day, which were not sent to Northern newspapers. The first item was this: A merchant at Springfield, Mo., where a slaughter of black people recently occurred, accused a young man of eighteen years of age of mistreating his fifteen year old daughter. When the man and the boy met on the street they opened fire on each other and when the amok clared away they were both as dead as door mats. As a sample of Southern chivalry this incident is up-to-date. The other incident was as follows: A dance and barbecue were in progress at Holloway. Ky. When the "red liker" got in its fine work a hundred feudists got into a scrap. When the amok cleared one man was dead and twenty others had been carved to the bone. Incidents such as this among the feudists are of every day occurrence among the chivalry of the South. The light should be remorselessly turned upon the barbarism of the chivalrous white South. The people of the whole country should be made acquainted with the sort of civilization at the bottom represented in the Federal Congress by Ben Tillman, Jeff Davis, Jim Vardman, and "sich" men of coarse and vulger grain who fly in the face of American decency and honor, and still find papers and people in the North to do them honor and to speak respectfully of them. Segregation Humbug. Mr. John G. Reed thinks, in an article in Wainson's Magazine for July, that Charles Francis Adams' far-fetched article on the race question in the May Century in the ablest discussion of the ethnological difference between the African and the Caucasian he had "ever observed." Perhaps. Mr. Reed is not compelled to "survey mankind from China to Peru"; but we take the liberty of advising him to observe "Glimpse of the Agree." by Dr. Scholes, published by John Long of London, when he may conclude with us that his observations have been worse than "contracted" in a "pent-up Utica." and that Charles Francis Adams does not know half as much about the race problem as he thinks he does in his article on "Reflex Light from Africa." Dr. Scholes has devoted his life to a study of the African in the relations to the rest of mankind, while Charles Francis Adams has not, and he reaches substantially the conclusion advanced by Bishop J. W. Hamilton, in his address at the Congress on Africa at the Atlanta Expositions, that "there are no inferior races; there are races with inferior opportunities." Mr. Reed believes that the Afro-American should be corrigated from the mongrel white American; but Bishop Turner and John Temple Graves hold a like view. The three of them harbored to the same humbug need not be accepted as philosophems who reason as wisely as Plato or Hacon or Dr. Scholes. The prophets of error are often more dogmatic and vociferous than the prophets of truth. Race segregation in this country is pure humbug, for the simple reason that 40 per cent. of the negroid people in the United States are part African and part Caucasian (meaning white). Bishop Turner comes under this head. How could the black part of him be segregated to Africa while the white part of him refuses to budge from Atlanta? Bishop Turner has been in Africa; the black part of him wanted to remain in Africa, but the white part of him insisted upon returning to the United States; and here he is and here he will remain and here he will die, because the white part of him will have it that way and will none of Africa, except for Episcopal visitation. We only use the good Bishop as a brilliant example, of whom there are millions, bulging smaller in the public eye, to get Mr. John C. Reed to thinking that there is really nothing in his segregation humbug and a scandalous waste of printer's ink. The Afro-American people will not be segregated, because they are not only a part of the Government of the United States, a part of "we, the people," but they are also bone of bone and flesh of flesh of the American people. --- American Race Prejudice in the Philippines. Mrs. Elise Clews Parsons, who was a member of the Taft party that visited the Philippine Islands, saw a great many things which the other members of the party also saw, but she has been talking of some of the things in the public prints about which the other members of the party have been silent. She, at least, did not think it the part of good citizenship or for the beat interest of American control of the Philippines to shut her mouth when her eyes had been opened to certain conditions which have produced bad relations between the Americans and the Filipinos, and which have provoked most of the trouble, and may yet provoke a great deal more, between the two. Mrs. Parsons found that the white Americans in the Philippines have very little social intercourse with the Filipinos, and that the American newspapers in the Philippines stir up strife between the Americans and the Filipinos by senseless and irritating criticism of the Filipinos. In her statement of the case as it relates to the social intercourse of the Americans and the Filipinos, in which the army and navy set as well as the civil officers were included, she has created quite a stir among the Americans in the Philippines, and some of them have attempted to justify their course, but with no great success. It appears to us that Mrs. Parsons failed to discover the reason for the social attitude of the Americans towards the Filipinos and that her statement of the case has been weakened to that extent. However bad results may be they can never be worse than the causes which produce them. These causes change but little from age to age, and they have produced through the long and tedious pages of history the same results, to the disadvantage of states and the degradation of mankind. These causes are cause—based in birth, condition and color—and the arrogation of the few to live at the expense of the many. These causes exist and operate everywhere, and everywhere they produce insecurity in the State and degradation and consequent unrest in the body of the people. The Americans in the Philippines have proceeded on the theory that they are better than the Filipinos, while the Filipinos have proceeded on the theory that they are as good as the Americans. All of the troubles we have had in the Philippines have grown out of these conflicting views of a common but vital principle of connaissance, and as long as they rule in the intercourse of the two peoples in the Philippines there will be trouble, and plenty of it, between the Americans and the Filipinos. Now, the root of the troubles in the Philippines is this, which the writer has stated before, that in filling the civil positions in the Philippines, as well as in Cuba, President McKinley went out of his way to give preference to Southern white men, who had been born and educated in the fool notion that a white skin carried with it superiority of all off-color people and the right to rule and degrade them. The army and navy are affected at home and abroad with the same microbe. When Secretary W. H. Taft was Governor of the Philippines he did all he could to overcome the position of social ostracism of the Filipinos by the Americans, but the Southern element in the civil government and in the army and navy, was too strong for even him. The writer well remembers, when he was in Manila, the storm of abuse of Governor Taft which prevailed in the American press of Manila and in the places where Americans gathered because of a statement he made, in a public address at Hoilo, that the Philippines were for the Filipinos, and that if others did not like it they could get out. All those people denounced the pronouncement as outrageous and heaped the vilest abuse upon Governor Taft. They hoped and prayed for the day when he should be relieved of the Governorship and the position would be filled by Luke E. Wright of Tennessee, the Vice-Governor. Under the administration of Governor Taft the Filipinos had free access to the Governor and all others in authority, except the military, and were invited and made welcome at all public functions. The natives were reasonably satisfied and outstrikes of Ladrona lawlessness were of rare occurrence. The prevailing restlessness and discontent at the situation were more general and pronounced among Americans than Filipinos. When Governor Taft was made Secretary of War and Wice-Governor Wright was promoted to be Governor the American attitude, especially in its social feature, was immediately and radically changed. The Filipino was given to understand that he had no social standing with the administration and that in all other respects he must take a back seat and keep it. But the Filipino presented this. When Luke E. Wright was made Governor the writer predicted that he would make a failure of his administration, but he had no idea that it would be as disastrous as it proved. Discontent and insurrection overran the islands to such an extent that President Roosevelt was compelled to acknowledge his error in making Luke E. Wright Governor and to relieve the situation by translating him to the Ambassadorship to Japan. He may not also make a mess of that job, but we think that he will; for he is not big and broad enough to fill the shoes of his predecessor, the late Col. A. E. Buck of Georgia, a carpet-bagger from Maine, who was also a gentleman and a man of aplendid parts. Now, the troubles the Americans have had in the Philippines under the administration of Governor Ide, and which Governor Smith will inherit, came over from the fool administration of Governor Wright. And there may be other slaughters like those of the Moros and Pulajanes before the end of the chapter. Why, in their conversation, the Americans in the Philippines speak of the Filipinos as "niggers." We believe that the Americans have done a great deal of good in the Philippines; we believe that they can yet do a great deal of good. The public-school system and the railroad development are great benefactions; and there are others meritorious and will fetch great good to the country and the people. But Southern white men should be weeded out of the Philippines. They have no business there. They are not fit to govern off-color people. Their prejudices of race make them marplots in the Philippines situation, as they are, and always have been, in the United States. As disturbers of the public peace, at home and in the Insular territories. Southern white men have been foremost. They cannot understand that they are citizens, of a democratic Republic and not of an aristocratic monarchy. --- Liberia's Sad Condition. We have no pleasure or pride in reproducing from Appleton's Magazine an extraordinary article, written by Agnes Mahoney, for five years a missionary in Liberia; but we feel that we owe it to our readers to keep them informed as to the condition of race matters in all parts of the globe. We are especially interested in the affairs of Hijjt and Liberia because they are distinctively African in population and government. That those countries have not measured up to the expectations of the friends of the African people, in their conduct of independent governments, is a statement very generally made. Why? It is a fair assumption that the reason will be found in the fact that the government and the people of those countries have given too much time to politics and too little time to the development of the material resources of their countries. They have been dominated for the most part by men of the Dufuia and Trotter sort, who propagated the fallacy that a state and a people should be developed from the top and not from the bottom, that it should venture its development and strength upon cultural rather than industrial and commercial activity, that the head should be trained and the hand should be neglected, that "human rights" were everything and material rights were negligible. That the Afro-Americans who took over the government of Liberia failed to get the good will of the natives and develop them along American lines of education and industry is one of the chief causes of the decay of the country to the condition indicated by Miss Mahoney. From all that we have been able to learn about conditions in Liberia, the Americans there have never treated the natives as equals, people who were capable of development and who would ultimately become the mainstay of the Liberian Republic, but looked down upon them and neglected them, so that the natives finally came to distrust and then to despise them, and may ultimately unite to extinguish them as a government. We are by no means prepared to accept Miss Mahoney's conclusion that the black man is incapable of progress and self-government except in contact with the white man. The apparent failure of government in Haiti and Liberia does not weaken our faith in the possible development of African government independently of white contact and control. We have examples hearing out this fact in the ancient history of Africa itself, and in the extensive tribal governments which are now to be found all over the great Continent. A firm belief in the ultimate development of African people in government and commerce and the unification of tribal governments in a great African Empire cannot be shaken by apparent failures of experiments in government chronicled from time to time. Evolution of race is a fixed principle of ethics. We hope Liberia may recover from its present condition of prostration. --- The Democrat of New York State are fearful that William Radolf Heart will capture the Buffalo State convention. Heart has the whole Democratic outfit on the jump. A party so constituted that men like Heart, William Jeanslage Bryan, and others will be forced to take aacle for honest folks to observe with wonderment and apprehension. But the masses of the American people, outside the United States, can be depended upon to make short work of this sort of men at the hotel box. But the Republican party must put its just foot forward to the character of its homelessness for high place. The people demand that much and will have nothing less. --- If the Niagara movement stands for any thing except personal abuse of Boothers Washington and those who think as he does we fail to discover it in the opinions of the few newspapers which are allied with the movement. The Boston Guardian, the chief singer and The Chicago Condenser are reservoirs of personal abuse and vilification of honest men. William Randolph Heart's fuglemen give it out that they will carry the Democratic convention at Buffalo by storm for Heart for Governor. We don't think any such lunacy will prevail; but if it should, doe Mr. Heart believe that he can carry the convention by lightning or firecrack. He may think so; but the voters of New York State are wine to Mr Heart and his hands and will none of him, we think. That there should be a few Afro-Americans in Greater New York howling for Heart is among the things we had not expected to live to hear. --- Tom E. Watson lives in Georgia and publishes Watson's Magazine in New York. On the front page of the magazine is an outline of the Liberty Bell, cracked from enthusiasm in proclaiming liberty, surrounded by this legend in a circle: "Sexual Rights to All: Special Privileges to None." Down in Georgia Tom Watson comes to mind: "The African-American of Ikele Smith on a platform proclaiming disfranchishment of the Afro-American of Georgia. Why doesn't Tom Watson have the decency to make his precept and example hang together?" --- In the failure to unhorse Governor Cummins in the Iowa fight for control of the Republican machine Secretary Leille M. Shaw got a set back to his aspiration to be the next Presidential nominee of the Republican party. We regret to hear that there was a bitter discussion at the recent meeting of the Federation of Women's Club at Detroit on the issue of the Aro-American women raised in certain Aro-American women on account of their color. Such a discussion on the part of those who participated in it was discreditable and disgraceful, and we hope never to bear of the like again. For a race which has been discriminated against, as the Aro-American women are abomination, and those who raised this question should feel eternally ashamed of themselves. TESTING "GRANDFATHER" CLAUSE. "Nothing More Important," Says Great White Newsman. Secretary Taft, in his declaration at Georgetown that schemes to disfranchise the Negroes without excluding whites would not stand the test of the Fifteenth Amendment, has given new importance to the efforts making to test the "Grandfather Clause." The Afro-American Council," which meets in New York next October, has for its first task the preparation and requisite financial support of a case to test the Gramfather Clause so directly that the Federal Supreme Court cannot evade it. Nothing can be more important. The meeting held in New York last week for the purpose of interesting Negroes in this work should be followed by similar meetings wherever Negro audiences can provide the means to further this work. Irritating political agitation is of no value i n man issue like this. What is needed, and all that is needed, is the Negro audience to test the question, whether it is possible, under the Constitution, to apply a test which works only by race instead of one which is applied to all American citizens alike. AFRO-AMERICANS VS. ITALIANS. Concept Between Longhornmen Ends In Former's Victory. It has been found out in this city by actual experiment that the Negro makes a much better longshoreman for the South at least, than the Italian. Several hundred of these men were brought here some weeks ago to take the places of the colored men who are employed in loading the vessels which ply between this port and Northern cities. The colored men are more delicate, charless and rapid in their work, and they can saddle the climate of the seas. The Negro longshoremen here loaded a ship while the Italians were getting a half load into another vessel at the same wharf. The employers of labor in the South are fast learning that there is no class of working men in the world whom they can induce to come to Dixie that can surpass the colored brother in certain lines of work, and if they are wise they will treat the Negro in a way to induce him to become more proficient in the callings in which he is most able to excel. And if the colored brother is wise he will seize the opportunity to make himself indispensable to the material development of the South by becoming a reliable, intelligent and upright workman in all the tasks of the job that he adapted by nature. Our people have in their own hands the solution of the so-called "Race Problem." The day the masses of them decide to become thrifty, competent, trustworthy and honest artisans, mechanics, farmers, etc., that day will the white South realize the value of the colored man as a citizen and begin to accord him the respect and recognition due a good citizen. Boomerang Advertisement. From The Georgia Baptist At a big parade of white Elke in Nashville, Tenn., a number of trade displays were in the prosecution. Among others was a display of the Nashville Laundry run by white people, not Chinese. In a wagon they had half nude colored boys and banners on the side of the wagon read: "No Negro Washing Taken." The result of this advertisement was the establishment by colored men of a steam laundry, and already it is doing, a good business. Foolish prejudice often rebounds and hurts its possessor worse than the one against whom it is aimed. Fremont Citizens Buying Vehicles and Junking in New York Fremont City Widens Nearly five months ago our Negro hat- ing City Council passed the "Jim Crow" street care ordinance. The very next morning the colored people of this city wake up walking. They have been beating over once. Or course a few who are crippled, old or in firm and whom circumstances have forced do ride, but as a rule every man, woman and child who could possibly do have avoided the care and refused to pay their fare and sit behind the screen in the "Jim Crow" corner. They have been doing this not because of any grievances against the street car company, because it has always been kind and considerate to its colored patrons, but because they believe there was no crying necessity for them, that it was enacted simply to humiliate the poor and to legislate against another is class-legislation and is wrong in principle. The white race has no more right to legislate against the black race than the rich against the poor, capital against labor. We admit that many of our people are ill manner and bolstered, but there is no race under the sun that is free from this class of cattle. There should be a law not to allow them on a car, but it should apply to the nine class of white ruffians. We do not the nine class of intelligent and well-behaved white men should be made to suffer for the shortcomings of their lower element; and at the same time we contend that the respectable, law-abiding, property-owning, tax-paying colored citizens should not have his rights and privileges curtailed on account of the hoodlums of his race. Another thing if the grest white race was put in a compartment by itself and the Mexicanes, Negroes and other colored races be abolished off a Jim Crow" corner the law would not be so offensive. To single the poor Negro and put him beneath all others is more than we can stand. The law seems to say: The most cultivated and refined, the best men and women of the black race re not as good as the lowest, the most ignorant, the most aggrandised among the Syrians, the Mexicans and other races who do not equal the Negro in trifitness, intelligence and property owning. When we consider these things no wonder the Negroes are buying horses and buggies and automobiles and per ride in colored hacks rather than pay 5 cents fare in "Jim Crow" cars. "CIVILIZING" AFRICA. The following letter, the original of which is in our hands, and which is unquestionably bona-fide, has been communicated to us: "Mammell's Column, Halamau Camp, "Insui Valley, Zululand, June 12. "Dear Sir: I wrote to you a short time ago, acknowledging the receipt of the clearance papers. Since then I have had one of the most horrible experiences of my day. "Yesterday we left this camp at night, with the intention of beating the bush where the rebels are hiding. Unexpectedly we came upon a large camp of natives, who had just come from Natal under the command of Mehikalauzu and Bambata. How we managed to take the Zulus by surprise will always remain a mystery, but we surrounded them on three sides, and just at dawn, opened fire with field guns, Maximus, and rifles with a space of about fifty yards square. The natives of Mehikalauzu with foam and as we advanced dozens of them ran out without arms, and offered to surrender. "Many of our chaps and the Transvax Volunteers stood looking at them, hardly knowing what to do; but just then the Natal police, who have had several of their chaps murdered by the natives, came up and shot them down by dozens, shouting "Remember Impanza!" After that we seemed all to go mad. We rushed about in the bush, shooting and stabbing the natives for about two hours, till we were tired. "The men were so excited that they were shooting in all directions, regardless of whether their own men were in front not. Ballet were flying in all directions, and exuberance seemed to be insane. After the fight, we were hunting the bush all day, killing the niggers who ever we found them in trees or bushes. The friendly natives who accompanied us committed the most fearful atrocities, ripping up the stomachs of the enemy as they lay wounded. "The next day we went out to the scene of the fight and shot the wounded who were still alive. Some of them were wandering around, mad with their wounds airstrip, and made for us with their weapons. On our side we had two white men killed and fifteen, wounded among the friendly natives. The enemy had about seven hundred killed. No prisoners were taken. It was simply a slaughter. The place where fire first fired was a regular shambles. We were all about has about finished the rebellion. We are expecting to go back to Durban soon." Ransom's Coat of Whitewash. From The Richmond Planet. We confess that we are of the opinion that Rev. Dr. Ransom was not given full justice in the sense that we understand it. He was tried in Rhode Island for an offence committed in Alabama, and with no reasonable opportunity for the witnesses to the affair to be present and give testimony. They acquitted him on caperate evidence, on his own statement of the charge against him. It should create no surprise then that the enemies of Rev. Ransom should raise an observance, and to a disinterested observer, "It would be betrayed. The proper course to have is to appoint a committee to go to Alabama to investigate these charges, to summon and hear witnesses and to make their report to the next meeting of that same conference. November 4, 2014 Near Staunton, Va., an inhman white mother threw her new-born baby in a hodge where it died from hunger and exposure. She was arrested, tried and convicted and given one year in the penitentiary. A cruel Negro father whipped his infant child in Richmond. He was arrested, tried, convicted, given one year in jail and fused one hundred dollars. This is Virginia justice. Demonstrations thus far prove, that as the colored man acquires property and education, the spirit to deprive him civil and political rights becomes stronger and stronger. For the twenty-five years immediately subsequent to his enfranchishment there was no serious effort to disfranchise him; and during this period, comparatively speaking, he very illiterate and indignant. Since then he acquired property and education; but his spirit to disfranchise him is stronger to-day than ever before. Even the great Republican party in National convention assembled two years ago, conceded the right of the States to disfranchise the Negro, provided representation be reduced. From the organization of the party to that time no such concession was ever made in a National convention. Just a few days ago the Republicans of North Carolina in State convention assembled, declared in favor of Negro disfranchisement. This, too, is the first time that a State convention of the party was organized, and the decisions of the Supreme Court bearing upon the franchise, as they are well known. How can Mr. Taft see any prospect of this of the colored man of the South regaining the right to vote by the means he mentions? Cullen Third Wynn and the Not Delaware Bail To the Master of Tenn New Having read the speech Taft at Greenbore, N. C., I a comment upon that part whi- to Negro suffrage in the South. Mr. Taft said that when t acquires property and education then have the right of suffrage to him. Now, I suspect that he really believe what he said, b talking merely to tantalize the generally—as is often the case—an to obtain the votes of those of thel For there is no prospect whatever the white man of the South will resto him, and the black man, on account of his having obta property and education. Does he t a State like South Carolina would that? In those States in which qualified suffrage has been enacted, the colored men who can vote, will not do so. They have an idea that at some day an unqualified suffrage will be re-established, and if they vote now it will defer that day. I think that in this they are making a most egregious mistake, for if they let the right to vote lie in a passive state—if they let it go by in default—if they refuse to exercise it for thirty years long they lose their right. If who can vote right to vote, and thus know the great fact of Negro voting; and by that means, transmit it to the generations of our people, which now lie in the womb of the future. But in thus voting he will have to vote as does the white man, who belongs to all parties, and all parties belong to him; and by that means his rights are secured. I do not believe that there is any other means by which the colored man can retain and regain the right to vote. The Washington Post says that the North has decided to leave the adjustment of the franchise to "future generations." If the colored man should let that be done, I fear he will lose the ballot, because the political forces are moving in that direction. Kirkpatrick N. G. J. 1998. STATE RAN AWAY FROM MOB. Execution of Lee by Maryland n Concession to Lynching. From The Springfield Republican. The execution of the Negro William Lee by the State of Maryland on Thursday the second day of the incarceration, Randy at the bottom of the affair, Maryland's ciliar laws, which call for the public hanging of a condemned man at the place where the original indictment was found. This provides for what might be called a neighborhood hanging among one's old acquaintances; the entire population taking an afternoon off. There is a certain sociability about the old custom that siblings may be from desecration but evidently the time comes when Maryland should have a new comma of exceciting her condemned criminals, if executed they must be. The hanging of Lee revealed the State of Maryland in the act of running away from her own citizens on the ground that she could not trust them to permit a lawful and decent hanging in accordance with the old-school ideas. Lee's crime was committed against two white women, and Somerset county, where the crime occurred, threatened to seize the prisoners on the way to the scaffold and might get the stake. Governor Warfield might act down on escort of militia to protect the sheriff and his deputies while they executed their prisoner, if he were convinced that danger of a lynching existed. But he decided upon another plan. On Thursday morning the prisoner, a scaffold, a spiritual adviser and the sheriff's party quietly left Baltimore on a staircase and, an hour or two later, were landed on Smith's Island in Chesapeake Bay. Smith's Island happens to be included in Somerset county, and there near the edge, the scaffold was erected before the prisoner, he was lawfully and respectfully hanged, subfulture, technically correct, the law evaded and yet obeyed, while the people of Somerset county, who live on the mainland, were outwitted by the authorities. When it was all over, of course Somerset county felt insulted. Former Congressman Joshua W. Miles, one of the county's leading citizens, was deeply disappointed when the steamer came over to the mainland with the dead Negro. "Mr. Miles seewed, not only disappointed, but hurt," reports The Baltimore Sun. "This is said he, I deeply deplore. It will affect my country, and will be a serious blow to it." When asked, for an explanation of the supposed damage, Miles seemed not only disappointed, but a place other than first contemplated was a reflection upon the character and standing of the residents of the county. If Governor Warfield runs for office again, it is clear that he may lose votes in Somerset county because of this performance. Yet the governor's course is sensibly applauded by the Baltimore press, which seems convinced that any other course have led to terrible scenes. The State Department has from its own system, and discredited public accounts of the old-fashioned sort so thoroughly that new laws are now imperatively required. The State is still on the verge of barbarism. "What is it asked the teach in Latin. "The with the curly b taining the phara- "I.-Chicago Try Uncle Hiram- Mayor. Aunt M woll go on the bld. Judge G. O.

Under the protecting guidance of the right kind of white men it had been a success in its infancy, and it remained to be seen if that success would continue under the guidance of the right kind of colored men. The prominent men of the race, who had developed from the condition of object slavery into one whereby they were able to think clearly, and plan out the conditions under which they should live, met and formed their government, fashioning it naturally, after the war prevailed in the United States. They elected a president, who appointed the members of his cabinet. A secretary of war was quite necessary on account of the savage native tribes surrounding the colonists, who had settled principally in the Atlantic coast, and also on the banks of one or two of the principal rivers. As they had no ships, a secretary of the navy was not necessary, and so the two portfolios were combined. When the constitution was formed, they made one law which has done more than any other thing, not only in retarding the development of the country, but also in militating against the continued success of the colony. The law referred to is the one by which white men are not allowed to hold property in Liberia. For this reason the white man with his money and business, energy has gone to other places in Africa and developed out the country, creating a vast lot of railway, and with no cable communication with the rest of the world, no telegraphic communication with the towns inside of the republic even. Conditions are the same as when the republic was first started. The older men who are deep thinkers, and who by going away from Liberia have learned how developed and advanced other countries, have at last realized that this law was, and is, a gigantic mistake. They have tried over and over again to have it repealed or amended in such a way that the white man need not fear to use his money in opening up the country developing the natural resources of the land, but so far all attempts to change the law have been defeated, mainly by those who have never been away from the country, and who know nothing practically of how the rest of the world lives. Mother Nature deals out the vegetation of tropical Africa with a lavish hand, and no one need starve in Liberia who is willing to work, but the civilized Negro in Africa, at least in Liberia, as I have observed after nearly five years' residence in the republic, seems to need the encouraging example of and contact with the right kind of white men. The success and flourishing condition of Sierra Leone, the colony established by the English for its freed slaves—many of them brought there from Newfoundland after the Revolutionary War, the West Indies, and also released from captured slave ships—shows that success can attend the efforts of the race to raise themselves, but this success seems to be largely due to the fact that a white man's hand is at the helm, although most of the principal government officials are Negroes. This colony is only one generation old, but Liberia, having been set free in 1787, has undergone several generations ahead in the development of the country. In Sierra Leone are railroads running several hundred miles into the interior and in this way the native in the hinterland is able to send his produce down to the coast for transmission to European ports. The government is doing many things to encourage the natives to produce for the foreign markets different things which grow with very little care or trouble in that part of the world. Take, for instance, cotton. The natives in Sierra Leone can secure free seeds and free transportation of their crops to the English markets for two years. Poor Liberia seems to stand alone in her inability to make the most of her naturally rich country. I have seen cotton growing wild in Liberia in three different stages at the one time on the onebush. I have seen the coffee trees bearing three crops in the one year. With very little care—practically none after the daughters, as the young banana mothers, die, we are left with another plant and stuck into the ground—bananas can be raised in great abundance. The natives live principally on rice, which they raise themselves, but the descendants of the Liberian colonists seem to do nothing on this line, and here is what, in the opinion of many with whom I have talked on the matter, a great deal of Liberia's condition to day rests upon: the dismigration of the average Liberian to work with his hands, Palm oil, palm nuts, or kernels, and pins savan are exported in large quantities from Liberia, but the work of preparing them fog the market and carrying them from long distances on their heads, from the fields to the fields of Liberia, and horses and mules are not able to live there) is entirely done by the native Africans, who came under the domination and rule of the Liberians when the colony was established. An export duty is charged by the Liberian Government on all produce sent from the country, and an import duty of twelve and a half per cent, ad valorem on all goods on which a specific duty is not imposed. These are the main sources of income for the country. This income at the present time is not as great as one would suppose it to be, for the reason that many of the employees of the government are paid with notes issued by the government, and these seem to deprecate in value very rapidly. The traders, taking advantage of the needs of people in the country, are ready for money in circulation in the country, are always ready to buy the government notes, in some instances being able to obtain for eight shillings in English money (or the equivalent in American or German money) a note which has been issued for $5. These notes are then tendered to the government as payment for customs duty. The government, recognizing finally the low financial co- tion this kind of business was bringing on the country, then made a law whereby only part of the duties may be paid with Liberian money, the rest being paid in either English, German, French or American money. The drafts of the American Missionary Society are also accepted by many of the traders charge the missionaries from two to four per cent, for cashing the drafts. There are no industries in Liberia today. All traces of the trade school established at the time the country was under the protection of the American navy and Colonization Society have entirely disappeared. Much money is made by a few through trading. That the natives have learned to like spiritual drinks is clearly evident when one goes into a native village and finds grave alter grave outlined by an inverted rod, or fence, of gin bottles. These gin bottles are used sometimes by a cult of alcohol. I found out when two persons came to me for surgical help. They had been operated upon by a native doctor or medicine man—one had a swollen knee, and the other a swollen ankle—and in both instances one "medicine man" had lanced the swelling with a piece of broken gin bottle. The Liberian Government has established schools in many of the town, but the native Africans in most instances refuse to send their children to these schools, but will gladly send them to the schools established by the missionaries. Another phase of the situation which stands in the way of further development of the colony under present conditions is the attitude of the descendants of the first colonists, who are the Liberians of to-day, and the native Africans toward each other. Many of the latter have conceived a diallike and a distrust of the former, as a whole, which is unfortunate, considering that a few of the leaders in the community realize that Liberia is at the parting of the ways and are doing all they can to save the situation. What Liberia needs to-day is money and men to show them how to use that money to the best advantage in developing the country. Above all things a stimulus is needed to make the work and file the will to willing work, for this will lie the success of the nation. Every facility is given at present by the government to missionaries and teachers from other countries who go to Liberia to help better the conditions of the people there, and she also offers a home to people of her own race and color. But the government in a recent message distinctly said that the poor Negro emigrant need not come here, as under present conditions they would find it hard to make a living. According to the opinion of many experts who have investigated the resources of the country there is plenty of natural wealth locked up in the land, because the Liberians seem not to have the money or ability to open it up, and the great danger is that some concession will be granted to syndicates of other nations whereby they will be benefited at the expense of the nation at large. It is the opinion of many persons who have lived in Liberian, both white people and Liberians themselves, that sooner or later some other nation must assume a protectorate over the country. Some of their leaders think it far better to choose their own protectorate rather than have a protectorate forced upon them by existing conditions, such as inability to pay their foreign loans or to secure more. At those times, who are in the security, Liberian must struggle until she can go no farther—and after that, what? The native Africans far outnumber the Liberians, and Mohammedanism is rapidly spreading in the country, despite the efforts made by the Christian missionaries to stem the tide. Their proselytizing agents are going around continually advancing their lines in all directions, until to day in many sections of Liberia whole tribes will be found who are practically Mohammedans. The history of all Mohammedan nations is not one of progress along civilized lines, so that little help is to be expected from the Mohammedan natives, and the Liberians must work alone in their efforts to better their own conditions. Slavery, and polygamy are two important features of the native life, and the government seems to be unable to control either one or the other. It is true that no slaves are exported from the country, but they are continually passing from master to master to satisfy debts and other conditions. That the government officially recognizes one of these two institutions when one of the prominent Liberian officials decided that two little girls who had been born during the time their parents were slaves must be given up to the former owner of the parents, be sold by him as slaves, be hired by industry, be owned to purchase them, be sold to them, and naturally thought their children were free also, until their old master claimed them. The father appealed to the Liberian Government, which decided that the children must be taken from their father and given up to the man who formerly owned him. The master had a purchaser ready for one of the Mohammedan native, who already had many wives, but wanted for another wife the elder child, about seven years of age and an attractive, winsome little creature. It is a common thing for natives to purchase girls when they are babies in their mothers' arms, in some instances leaving them with their mothers until they are old enough to be given up to the Zobin, or "country devil," who preides on the free-greec greeb, and who trains all girls before they are considered eligible—I will not say for marriage, for they are never married, only purchased by some man, who, although he may have many wives, seems always anxious and add more to his family. The father of the two wives had not the money that to buy his children's freedom and appealed to me, who was able by paying $30 to save the children from being torn away from everyone belonging to them and carried into the interior, never perhaps to see their parents or each other again. In this instance the price or value was placed upon the children by the representative of the Liberian Government. That Liberia to-day is in a more dead than alive condition, and is certainly retreating on economic and industrial lines, is apparent not only to people outside of the race, but to many prominent Liberians, who recognise conditions, but are no few in number that they can swim or swim with the multitude. During a conversation not long ago a prominent Liberian Government official has perhaps given the reason for that country's condition to when he said: "Twenty-five or thirty years ago I could take a hundred Liberians, who men had come over from the United States (these men had been developed under white influencers), and go into the interior against a thousand rebellious natives without the slightest fear." When I asked him, "Would you do it to day?" he answered quickly, "No; indeed, I would not." A prominent official said at one time to me: "Thirty years ago if I wanted a boat I could have one, made in Monrovia (the capital of Liberia), but to-day I must send to England or Germany for it." When I first started for work in Liberia I was filled with the idea of helping the people to stand alone, but I have reached the stage others who are anxious to help the race have rescheduled before me. I recognise that very few of those who have not at some time been under the stimulating influence and example of the Caucasian will ever become leaders. I have learned to look upon the race as children, who must be guided and led by the right kind of progressive men. Not many; take the initiative, and of those who do the majority have been born outside of Liberia, or have a strain of white men, who are underended many times if Booker T. Washington have developed into the leader he is had not known the standards of the white men around him, and realised that to uplift his people he must train them to copy the better class of Caucasians. He has recognised that only a few can be developed into teachers and leaders, and is doing much to develop industrial training at Tuskegee, and Liberia needs this sort of training more than anything else. Perhaps by the time this article reaches the public some country will be collecting Liberia's customs and endeavoring to relieve the financial conditions, but this will be only temporary relief. The law forbidding the white man to hold property in the republic should be abolished or amended, and he should be encouraged to come in with his money and help the Liberians to develop out their own country. But the Liberians must be taught to realise that this can only be done by hard work and not by holding government positions, as so many people do today. Better than anything else would be the emigration to Liberia from progressive countries to the large numbers in the least developed states, make the most of the talents with which they have been endowed, and are willing to work hard to uplift their own people. It must be in large numbers, for a few at a time would under the enervating surroundings and climate soon reach the condition of many who preceded them, and would content themselves with merely living, no matter how. Liberia as a country was a great surprise to me. I expected to find burning sands with perhaps a few palm trees scattered around, but the everlasting green of the country makes one think it more beautiful than most places in Africa. The sands scattered throughout the country; fruit grows without cultivation, while many of the rivers and small lakes are teeming with fish; and the native African finds no trouble in supplying his daily wants; for they are few. Contented with one meal of rice a day, delighted when he can get two, pouring over this palm oil or rice soup, and sitting down on the ground to eat it out of the African naked for no more unless it may be another wife or two. But the Liberian requires more than this, for he has all the needs of civilization to meet. The early promoter, who were responsible for the acquisition of this piece of territory on the west coast of Africa to make a home and country for the oppressed people of the colored race, seem to have given no thought to the native Africans in their plans. This true the land was acquired by a "tolerable arrangement" between the believers and the men who ceded the territory to the men (unquittably white men) who were negotiating for it, realized that it was given the power to govern them into the hands of a few people of their own color, refugees, so to speak, from other countries, and it is also hard to believe that the original natives of the country hundreds of thousands in number, would all agree to vacate their homes and establish themselves in another part of the African continent. In Liberia to-day, as in those days, there are various tribes, many of them antagonistic one with another. We have the Krabi (Kr or Kroo), Ndebele, Posey and many others, and they could not be expected to unanimously agree to give up their freedom to the new nation about to form, which was yet to show whether its reign was going to be one of peace or terror. Those of us who know and appreciate the native African wonder that these people did not arise and I throw off the yoke imposed upon them by the establishment of the new republic. To this day they hold themselves aloof, and mix as little as possible with the Liberians. If a canvass were made to-day of the different persons holding government positions in native Africans, and yet they are capable of being developed into law-abiding, intelligent citizens. The native Africans in Liberia to-day in their towns in the interior, away from the coast where the main Liberian settlements are, have their governing laws, and it is only on very rare occasions that a native carries a complaint away from his tribal laws to be settled by the Liberian authorities. Law and order prevail in all towns. They have their different "palayers" (women palayers) being the most frequent), but all other mild adjuncts are also in the republic at present those in the Liberian towns which are locally governed by the Liberian laws. One of the most advanced men now in Liberia—and if there were many more like him the country would not be in such a depressed condition—at one time speaking to me of the native Africans, and that, going right back to the beginning, we could easily see that the Liberians would soon starve if it were not for the natives. Practically nothing is expected from the country, the Liberians in this country are producing a native of the Liberians acting as middlemen or collectors, and should the natives and their produce in another direction the end would come very soon. The native African chief realizes to-day that those of the tribe who can speak and write English are the ones who are going to help the tribe, and this is one of the reasons why at our mission school at Cape Mount we have so many boys whose fathers are important choice and return. Their usual way of expressing themselves in giving a boy or girl to us is to say, I want him or her to "learn book." In Liberia is also found an important tribe called the Kroomen or Krumen; these men are sometimes called "blue nose," from a distinguishing blue line which is tattooed down the center of their foreheads, frequently extending to the tips of their nose. These men are eagerly sought after by the captains of the west coast steamers, who will sometimes go one or two days' journey out of the tropical sun to get the Kru boys to unload their vessels and then to their country when they have finished loading their vessels for that trip. These Krumen will work all day under the hot rays of the tropical sun, happy and contented, never shirking work, and the considered the most progressive and irrespective of the West African tribes. This has been attributed to the fact that on the vessels they have come in contact with the white man and have him for an example rather than the Liberians surrounding them. Yet all the white men who go to the west coast are not good examples. A great deal of money which the day goes to purchase gin and tobacco; the latter can be raised in the country, the former was introduced by the white man. The people there have no literature, they have no great heroes to look up to, so that they gain their ideas of the world at large, from those who come to their country. I have often thought of the impression they must have of the morals of white men at home, when they see that as soon as a white man reaches the coast he almost invariably buys a native girl for a wife while he remains there—sometimes more than one. Not must difference between the black man and the white man be so great that the black man never abandons the one he has bought when he is tired of her or wants to move on, as the white man does. The black man may sell or exchange his wife, but he will never leave her, unless she is given up to some other protector. One set of statistics gives the population of Liberia as 2,000,000 natives and 60,000 Liberians or Afro-Americans. And in adjusting new conditions, which seems to be inevitable, the native African, who is largely in the majority should be taught in the peaceful condition of Liberia to-day how to know the law, to abide by, he is advancing quietly but surely. As a writer for a Liberian paper said: "Be careful, or the people whom you use to-day to carry your burdens for you, to work the produce of the country for you, practically your slaves, to morrow may be on top and be your masters." There is fine material in the native African. So far only a minute portion has been amalgamated with the other forms, the right kind of doctors and teachers, ones to whom they can look up, the development of Liberia in these days of progress ought to mean more to the African than the past eighty years has meant.

I told him he must hurry, as the girl's heart was getting a little feeble: I did not want to undo the reputation we had established, by having an accident, aside from the fact that I would never have forgiven myself had I even innocently caused the death of another. To my relief the man said he had finished, as the rest was too near a throbbing blood vessel for him to cut around them. I then asked if he was not going to sow up the gaping wounds, but he answered no, they never did that. I put a simple dressing or the wounds and the girl soon recovered consciousness and walked off with the "doctor." I must say a word or two recalling the request shown by both Liberians and native to the white woman in the republic. For several years I was the only white woman within a radius of sixty or a hundred miles, and for many months I was absolutely alone so far as the protecting care of a white man was concerned, but I always met with the great respect from the people. Other white women all tell the same story. STORY OF A WOMAN DOCTOR. Matilda A. Evans Overcame Fears of Sick Child's Mother. G. S. Dickerman in The Southern Workman. A mother with her babe was at a hotel in Columbia, South Carolina, for a day or two when the child became alarmly ill and the instant attendance of a physician was required. One was called who happened to be nearest at hand. A shade of dmaypass over the mother's countenance when she saw a young colored woman ushered into the room; but this was no time for hesitation and the physician had no sensitivity to notice anything but the patient. The case was serious; there could be no immediate relief, and the child's life was in suspense. The father was sent for. Then the mother's misgivings about the physician grew painful. Other ladies in the hotel came with their sympathy and the physician sent a woman doctor, especially the Negro, and urging the mother to summon a white physician. It was decided to do so, but the step was delayed for the father's arrival, as it was not easy to choose among a number. The father came. He was too wise to act hastily. He calmly inforned himself of the treatment, examined the prescriptions and saw that they were intelligent, stepped around to the drug store and asked there about the professional standing of this woman, till he was satisfied that she could be trusted. Then he met her and bade her do everything in her power for his child, adding that whatever orders she might give should be obeyed. She simply requested that all but the father be excluded from the sick room; and, then, with the art of an accomplished nurse, adding that highly educated physician, she gave herself the care of the little sufferer. By the softer manipulation she went to the hidden centers of disease with healing "irrigation"; gentle bathing subdued the burning fever; and a murmuring lilaby soothed the little one into a peaceful sleep. In a few hours the child was better and full recovery left. This is a single incident; of many equally significant in the work of Dr. K. S. Srinivasan, the five colored women engaged in the practice of medicine and surgery. HALL TO LET 125 West 100th Street For Balls, Parties, Weddings and Dancing Classes, Apply, HENRY WILLIAMS, {Proprietor.} Jul 19-2m At first glance Secretary Natt's expressions in regard to the Negro offence question in the South probably will be deemed reactionary if not impolite by many of those who believe in equal rights and even-handed justice for both races. The iniquity of the "grandfather clause" and other measures designed to disfranchise the Negro is apparent and, while the educational and property qualification with which they are not so bad, the intent with which they are not faced pattern. The prime purpose in each case to enable the whites to retain control of the election machinery. Secretary. Taft's speech, however, shows that he excuses these measures of restrictive legislation only as an expedient of opportunism and that he believes them destined sooner or later to lead to better things. At the close of the war, he argues, the Southern whites, finding themselves surrounded by a brave and numerous duties of citizenship, deprived the Negro of his power by force and fraud. Later, recognizing the demoralizing effect of thus flushing the law, square with limiting conditions," and the educational property qualifications were thus really the outcome of an improving sentiment. The facts, of course, do not mitigate the enormity of the disfranchisement outrages committed in the South, but they point to a natural evolutionary process which, followed to its logical conclusion, should mean the supremacy of the law as against fraud or shotgun tactics and ultimately should restore the Negro to his full rights. Secretary Taft's view, therefore, is encouraging, rather than otherwise, for it implies that an Negro of the South progresses in education, the supremacy of the right of suffrage and of protection under law. The "grandfather clause" eventually will cease to operate and, as Mr. Taft points out, it is impossible under the Fifteenth Amendment to frame a statute which can keep educated, worthy Negroes from the ballot. That any of these should still be deprived of the suffrage is infamous but there is a ray of hope in the idea that by constantly perfecting himself the colony man of the South ultimately must acquire political equality with his white neighbors. HOW SOUTHERN STATESMAN WON. Owed His Victory to the "Jim Crow" Muse. From The Charlotte (N. C.) Observer. The "Jim Crow" car law has had an important bearing in State politics at times. Here are some stances from a minerable piece of doggerel which is said to have elected B. L.

ROOSEVELT RESPITES ALLEGED ACCOMPLICES OF HENRY SCOTT Murderer Testified on Gallows They Were Innocent. OYSTER BAY, L. L., August 7.—President Roosevelt granted a respite to-day to two Afro-American sailors, Robert Sawyer and Arthur Adams, who are under sentence of death at Wilmington, N. C. The execution of the sentence is to be deferred until November 1 in order that the Department of Justice may have a chance to investigate the case. Sawyer and Adams were convicted of mutiny and murder on the high seas. They belonged to the crew of the schooner H. A. Ber wind, which sailed from Philadelphia on July 6, 1905. The officers and cook of the vessel were murdered at sea. The officers were white. Ireny Scott, another of the crew, was executed recently. He made a confession on the scaffold tending to exorcate the other members of the crew. It is this fact which has moved the President to intervene. Windolph Men Hopeful in 0th.

Christ and that there is no perfectness without Him. It was a master's degree and that McArther presided at the Sunday school session. There were several visitors to this church during the day.

SANE WORK AT CHEYNEY Training Teachers in Most Practical Methods CHEKNET, Pa., August 3.—There is no problem confronting Southern educational interests more difficult than that of providing competent men and women for the work of teaching. This is especially true of Afro-American teachers. The Institute for Colored Youth, Chekney, Pa., now engaged in the second session of its summer school work, is contributing its part in a most effective way in the solution of this problem. The board of managers, composed of the Society of Friends, together with the principal, Prof. Hugh M. Browne, has analyzed the situation and offers in the regular and summer school courses a program of studies so organized as to meet the present practical needs of Southern schools. It is realised that poorly equipped teachers, teachers who have dealt with mere book abstractions and who have not studied with a view to meet the demands that will be made, upon them in practical life, cannot hope to be of full measure of service to those among whom their lot will be cast. As a first condition essential to the successful prosecution of this important work the principal has shown good judgment in selecting, such instructors as combine practice and theory. This, of course, means that mere scholarship is not the basis of selection, but rather ability to prove the truth of the theory they advocate by handling classes of children in the presence of the teachers. The instructors in connection with general culture offered are required to organize their courses into definite lessons that are taught in any grade of the elementary school. The school offers the following courses: Applied Domestic Science, Domestic Art, Manual Training, English, History, Mathematics, Drawing, Primary Methods, Nature Study, Geography and Pedagogy. Academic subjects and methods of instruction have their usual place in the scheme of the teacher's preparation. The course in English comprising class room work, general reading and personal culture, is taught by Miss Maria L. Baldwin, principal of the Agassiz public school, Cambridge, Mass. The courses of mathematics and drawing are taught by Mr. Daniel A. Brooks, who is a product of the Washington schools and is a teacher of drawing in the Colored High. and Training School of Baltimore, Md. Mr. Brooks has taken special courses at Harvard and is a member of the Eastern Art Teacher Association. The aim in mathematics is to teach the method of class room work and to cultivate an acquaintance with business classes. In drawing an appreciation of the beautiful is aimed at together with the development of skill in graphically representing some phases of the subject. To show the subjects is one thing: to know how to teach them is another. To this end two professional courses are given, one in primary methods and one in general pedagogy. Miss Emma F. G. Merritt has the work in primary methods, Miss Merritt is a product of the Washington schools, an apostle of the late Colonel Parker, and at present a supervisor of primary work in the schools of Washington, D. C. It is most interesting to watch the little folks under her guidance as they make connection between home and school life through the subjects taught. The lessons are worked out in such a way that the teachers can see not what some say can be done, but what some actually does. The course in general pedagogy is taught by Mr. H. E. Wharton, principal of public school No. 113, Baltimore, Md. Mr. Wharton is intimately associated with the educational interests of his home city. He specialized in pedagogy at the summer school of the Teachers College, Columbia University. In this course the fundamentals of method and the point of view of psychology necessary to a proper study of the child and bringing of him in the right relation to the subject matter of instruction are given. The nature study is under Miss Hallee E. Queen, who specialized in this work in Cornell University. This work has everything in its favor. The school is favored by nature, inasmuch as hills, valleys, streams, birds and animals are in abundance to be used for first hand study. In the regular course each young man and woman has his garden wherein to plant his crop and to watch its growth through germination to fruition. The course in domestic science is taught by Miss Elida Metzler, a graduate of Pratt Institute, a school famous for the training it gives in work of this kind. As N. Y.; Mrs. Nannie Dunham, Misses Katie Phillipa, Margaret Jordan, Eliza Tayler, Kesiah Lilly, Mrs. Mary S. Gilee, Ralph Lilly, Mrs. Susan Margaret Haywood, Mrs. Gray, Mrs. Emery, Mrs. S. A.

Y., Monday evening where they will make their future home at 240 Diamond Street. The Crounet Club conducted by some of the members of the Carlton avenue Branch of the Young Men's Christian Association are rapidly developing into a game played in day afternoon which affords both pleasure and helpful physical exercise. The club is the outgrowth of the constant desire and need of a gymnastics at the Branch where such athletic sports may be indulged in. Those who are interested in gymnastics in little game, are Monson, Walter J. Moss, John S. Parsonne, Charles H. Turney, Eugene L. Henderson, M. B. Russell, George A. Hunkins, Mugh Shilton Newton and Eugene E. Golvin. Teachers are Wisely Trained Here TRAINING SCHOOL AT CHEYNEY, PA Handsome Apartments of 6 Large, Light Rooms and Bath. Nicely kept house; rent $27 per month. Apply janitor on premises, or L. F. Comellas, 1223 Lexington Avenue. the name of the course indicates it is an actual application of the science to domestic life. Notwithstanding this department is only two years old, it has reached the degree of perfection that attracts the attention of all who visit the school. The course in no sense is restricted to giving recipes for toothsome delicacies and to discussions of nourishing properties of foods. These, of course, have their place, but girls specialising in cooking do more. They give actual service in managing the dining hall, in keeping store room blanks in arranging the daily menu and in selecting the dietary which in this school has won a reputation for variety, economy and wholesomeness. The history course is under Mr. A. O. Stafford, who specialised at Teachers' College, Columbia University, and who is the author of a book of fables soon to be issued by the American Book Company. Here we have history presented in its proper perspective. Mr. Stafford has also given much attention to industrial history by way of correlation with manual training. The course in domestic art, taught by Miss Sara Richardson, is equally praiseworthy. This young woman has had two years' training in Drexel Institute. She is in the advance department of this work in the Institute for Colored Youth especially in this field. The same principle of method holds here elsewhere. No dressmaker can become an efficient practical worker who has not an opportunity to make dresses; not for models which are made for dresses, but for people in the neighborhood who present a variety of tastes and physical forms. If students are to be prepared to do the world's work, some of that work must be brought into the school. Changed conditions of social life bring about changed conditions of school life. The work of educators is to know these changes and to prepare the student to meet them. Manual training seems to be a phase of this new life. For this course, under the direction of Mr. L. V. Moore and Miss R. Mabel Moorman,ample provision is made. Mr. Moore is a product of Hampton Institute, from which school he has imbued much of his spirit and goal for the work. He completed his courses in the summer school of the Teachers College, Columbia University. Miss Moorman is an advance student in the domestic art course and has passed the examination for advanced sewing in the schools of New York State. Rafa and reed work, paper cutting and folding, cardboard construction, cord, work, and bench sewing make up this course. These subjects have much interest for the teachers. Long after the bell has announced the closing hour of work, teachers may be seen working on a hat or a basket or making some other useful domestic article. The practical side of this work is also emphasized. The repairing of school furniture, making of window and door screens, bookcases, tables, etc., afford a wide range for the application of principles taught in the class room. The practical helpfulness of this work is best attested by the desire of many to enter the school and by letters of thankfulness and commendation received from those who have already attended. We give one letter verbatim: "Our school will begin on the 4th of September. Then I shall begin to use some of the things I saw, heard and learned at Cheyney Summer School." It is said to reflect that many have to be refused admission on account of limited dormitory accommodations. An extension of work to children will build a foundation of children alike. The Board of Managers appreciate the responsibility of the good work their benefice ha s amde possible. They are to be congratulated for their contributions of time and money to the cause which lies so near their hearts. To properly estimate this work onmust see it. The order and arrangement of all mechanical appliances; the regularity and punctuality of all movement; the scrupulous cleanliness; all combination to give a most lasting picture. The aim is quality rather than quantity. To this end everything seems to be shaped; to this end the board is arranged and the work is performed their energies. The work of the two students teaching in the summer school, so highly satisfactory to the faculty and teachers, indicates the value of the emphasis laid on doing as well as learning. Plainfield.

GOOD NEWS AS WELL AS BAD LADY WRITER REBUKED She Assisted the paper for Giving Space to Favorable News About Race RICHMOND, Va., August 6—Monday of last week a correspondent of The News Leader writing over the nom de plume "A Daughter of Virginia," took occasion to score The News Leader for publishing what she termed "Nerro News" and especially for giving so much space to a news item concerning the work and aims of the Nerro Development and Exposition Company. The News Leader published her communication and then commented upon it as follows: "There is an ancient saying, which may or may not be a slander, that the feminine mind is illogical. We do not presume to express an opinion on this subject, but we must say that the card printed elsewhere from 'A Daughter of Virginia' goes to confirm the theory. This correspondent attacks the United States Congress for making a difference between Negroes and other citizens of the country by special appropriation for a Negro exhibit at the Fancetown Exposition, and then rebukes us with some amusement and a distinct flavor of acidity because we do not make difference enough between the races in The News Leader. "As we have said many times, we hope sincerely that Providence will no order it finally that the two races will be separated and the Negroes will be induced to go away to a new country and separate government of their own. Until that time, however, they are here with us and it is our duty to do the best we can them, to encourage them in every possible manner, to help their minds and their general condition, keeping clearly before them that the wide deep Gulf between the races must be maintained and that nothing like equality will be recognized. "We endorse most heartily the action of the congress in making this separate appropriation for the Negroes. It not only means more money for the exposition but an additional attraction there. The Negroes, being citizens and taxpayers, are entitled to the opportunity to show the world what advancement they have made and what they are doing. The News Leader follows a similar policy toward that race here. We like to help them in every way we can. Heaven knows we have to print enough against them. Stories of their crimes and their punishments are part of the daily supply of news of every newspaper in the country. We cannot appreciate the spirit that begrudges them an occasional mention when they do something good for themselves or somebody else, an effort to help their churches, their schools, their business enterprises, the various ways in which they are laboring, led by a few of the best of their people, to make themselves good and useful citizens." BATTLING NELSON AND GANS WILL FIGHT TO A FINISH Cungerly Expected Scrap in Nevada on Labor Day. Goldfield, New, has secured the battle between Joe Gans and Battling Nelson, to take place Llahor Day, September 3. It will be a finish fight and promises to be a great battle. The purse will be $30,000. Should each fighter receive half this would mean, when actual working time is taken into consideration, $166 for each minute of fighting if the battle lasts two hours. There are fifteen minutes resting time in the hour of sitting in a regular prize fight. Should the purse be held for 75 per cent, to the winner and 25 per cent, to the loser, the winner will receive about $600 per minute, should the fight last two hours. Nelson is an honest fighter and a tough proposition, and when he gets ready in the ring the spectators can depend upon his doing his best to get the long end of the purse. Gans has not such a strong following on account of his self-confessed crooked dealings in past battles. In the instance of this battle he states the money is no object; he simply wants to show the world that he is the best 133 pounder in the lightweight division. Hon. C. W. Anderson is the Internal Revenue Collector for the Second District of New York.
