Pleads With Mob in Be half of Victim, but Without Avail. After Swinging Him Up' by the Arms—Threaten to Prosecute Lynchers. Gunnwood, 8. C., August 16—Despite the presence of Gov. Howard, who pleaded with them to let the law take its course, a crowd of more than a thousand men shot to death at 5 o'clock this afternoon Bob Davis, an Afro-American, Davis was caught at 8 o'clock ten miles from the scene of his crime. He was harried to the Brooks home and identified by Mimi Jennie Breckn, whom it was alleged, he had assaulted and attempted to kill. Meanwhile Gov. Howard, not knowing that the man had been captured, was hurrying to the spot. He pledged his word as Governor that Davis would be tried in two weeks, as the South Carolina laws require that time for drawing a jury, and the verdict would stand, but although still acquitted, Davis could be moved, with Davis before he had finished. The crowd carried Davis down the road and literally shot him to pieces. He was awake up by his arms before being shot. The crowd admired the Governor for coming and told him so, but were determined to see Davis die. The father of the girl pleaded to have him buried, but this was prevented. COLUMBIA, S. C., August 17.—All is quiet at Greenwood and the vicinity of last evening's lynching. The body of the lynched Afro-American, Bob Davis, remained tied up in the tree all night, where mob left it last night riddled with bullets. "Gov. Heyward returned from the accuse of the lynching this afternoon. He was tired from his strenuous trip. He said he had data all in his power to uphold the majesty of the law." Before leaving Greenwood the Governor called Solicitor Cooper into conference and instructed him to take immediate steps to prosecute the members of this, however, is only a matter of form, as the sentiment of the county endorses the lynching. First Afro-American Organizer New in the Field. The unions in the building trades were notified Thursday that the first Afro-American organizer has been placed in the field by the Hod Carriers and Building Laborers International and Building Laborers. Those starting from St. Louis will go from place to place where Afro-Americans are employed in large numbers. There are now about half a dozen Afro-American delegates representing different trades in the Central Federalederation to be admitted to the C. F. D. was the delegate of the asphalt workers, who are mostly Afro-Americans. GANS LIKELY TO BE 2-TO-1 FAVORITE OVER BATTLING NELSON Black Whidwind Looks Good to the Nevada Sports. GOLDWIND, Nev., August 20—Now that all forfeits are posted, the referees selected and the date fixed, sports are getting down to betting, and it looks as though Gans might run up to a 2-10-litre in the betting before the fight comes off. He looks neater, faster and cleverer than Battling Nelson in his gymnasium, and that counts much with the miners hereon. One humorous feature about the agile both men have to weigh in at three different times before the fight takes place. They are to tip the beam at 133 pounds at 12 o'clock, 1:30 and 3 o'clock. Before the date of the go they may have them weigh every ten minutes. No one can ever tell just what the cautions Mr. Nolan might make for the other, however, and there will be no Herrera fiasco if Nolan can help it. Gans is training hard and looks fine. He said that he only tipped at 137 pounds. When asked he stepped on the scales and it bounced at exactly that figure. He looks fine and has only four pounds to take off in two weeks. He looks like the winner to all the natives here. The Dane, though, says he will win the fight if they have to fight all night to do it. Buy Cemetery for Afro-Americans PHILADELPHIA, August 21—Eight Afro-Americans of Germantown and the vicinity have purchased a plot of ground just east of Willow Grote, which they will convert into a cemetery for the burial of Afro-Americans. The men interested are John Bird, Rev. John Edditt, Rev. Morton Winston of the Mt. Zion Baptist church, Stuart McCard, Ernest Minor, James Smith, Henry Morton and William Ritchie. As there are great grounds nearer than the cemetery, it is the intention to make this one answer for those of the northeastern. Philadelphia 11a REAL ESTATE BUDGET AND INVESTOR CO. IN TROUBLE Mr. Porter Had Me Connection Whatever With The Consum. The Real Estate Deposit and Investor Company of New York, of which Rev. R. B. Moist is president, has get into trouble because of exercising the functions of a bank without authority in its charter. The District Attorney of New York has the matter in hand.

Mr. Fortune has never had any official connection with the company.

VAN COTT OPENS NEABAQUARTERS . AT J9 WEST 28TH STREET Near Section Where Most of His Afro-American Voters Live. Mr. Richard Van Cott, who will be the next Republican leader of the 20th Assembly district, has opened up-town headquarters at 30 West 20th street so that he may come into close relations with the Afro-American voters who live mostly in the 19th and 20th election district.

On Monday, Wednesday and Friday nights he will be on the job at his down-town club in West 8th street, opposite the Brewerov Hotel. HAIN BANNER TORN DOWN BY AFRO-AMERICAN HATERS Parrall's Democratic Friends Earned at Act of Friendship Alderman John J. Hahn, candidate for leader in the 13th Assembly district, as has been remarked in these columns before, signaled his entrance into politics by resigning his nomination for the County Committee to an Afro-American. In getting out a poster bearing Mr. Hahn's picture, his early sacrifice for an Afro-American was mentioned among other excellent points of his career. Certain Democrats, seeing one of these posters in Sixth street, read about Mr. Hahn's quipulating nomination to Afro-American and went on to arrange at his having befriended a black man that they tone down the poster. It must be remembered that Mr. Farrell, Mr. Hahn's opponent, is being actively supported by the Democrats in his and adjoining districts. Farrell has been able dupe for the Americans into information him misled by which he has suddenly and for the first time in his life found it expedient to profess in their behalf. But those knowing his antecedents believe that in his heart he cares no more for Afro-Americans than do his Democratic friends who tore down the poster. Mr. Hahn's poster, the best interest of the race are bound up in Mr. Hahn's success, and him they will in a large majority support.

HOW JAMESTOWN EXPOSITION FUNDS WILL BE EXPENDED $80,000 for building by Afro-American Architects. WASHINGTON. August 15.—A meeting of the Jamestown Ter-Centennial Commission was held to-day in the office of Secretary Shaw, the chairman of the commission. Besides Secretary Shaw, Secretary Manaparte and Assistant Secretary Manaparte, the commission and chairman, of the government board, were present. "A delegation representing the Negro Development and Exposition Company, consisting of Giles B. Jackson, director general; R. T. Hill, treasurer, and Ruby Page, secretary, submitted their desire in regard to the exhibit to be held in the New York Exposition. Of the $100,000 appropriated for the exhibit $30,000 was said aside for a building to be designed by representatives of the Afro-American race. The remaining $70,000 was allotted for the promotion and collection of exhibits, concert, and musical features, reproducing and other some, and for such other features as the Negro Development and Exposition Company recommended. NEW YORK, THURSDAY, AUGUST 23, 1906. BROWNSVILLE, Tex., August 21.—When several companies of the crack Twenty-fifth infantry, an Afro-American regiment, were stationed here last week local Crackerdom was greatly increased. The sturdy and proud independence and unflinching bearing of these troops immediately swelled the Crackerdom breast with rage and hasted. According to Major Blackson, who was detailed by the War Department to make an investigation of the trouble which soon ensued, the disturbance started with the whites. They did not want the Afro-American troops here and showed they thought them inferior by slights, insults and the denial of privileges. The infantrymen, who have fought men's battles on many fields, would not stand for such treatment from cheap civilians and repaid it, to the dismay of the whites. There were several individual encounters between the soldiers and citizens. About midnight of the 13th, as about fifteen soldiers were going through the town, the troops depicted by white citizens. The soldiers defended themselves to such good effect that they killed one white man and dangerously wounded another. Not a soldier was hurt. Heretofore, whenever Afro-Americans have dared to defend themselves in any numbers, throngs of white men have poured into the scene of disturbance from points far and near, and quickly overrode them. But when the news of the riot here spread over the State the white men took a second think and decided to keep their skins out of the fatal range of those resolute black soldiers. There was no mouning of whites into Brownville to avenge the death of one of the "divine Anglo-Saxon." Instead, the whites began to attack the soldiers, the soldiers, whose courage might easily become contagious. "Take them away," was the cry sent up to Washington by Senator Bailey, Senator Culberston, Representative Garner and a large number of other leading Texans. The Government, of course, always complaint to the white men with the desire of the Afro-American soldiers from Brownville, and white Texas has sent up a sigh of relief. WHY DISSENSION RULES IN THE MONITOR LEAGUE Members Object to Being Catapults for Certain Officers. A prominent member of the Monitor League in talking with a friend this week explained the real reason why the League, which endorsed Farrell's candidacy, is splitting asunder and being torn with dissension. "It is this way," said he. "All of us know that is absolutely no principle in which Afro-Americans could support a fellow like Farrell. He stands for whatever from a race point of view. He has never liked colored men and has never done anything for them. The sudden interest which he now pretends to feel in us is, of course, a mere artifact by which he hopes to dupe as many Afro-Americans as are simple enough to believe him. His real sentiments make him repugnant to all race-loving men. "He does Mr. Farrell, so far as the rank and file of the League members are permitted to know, make any other kind of appeal for their support. If he is spending his money they do not know it, because none of it has been allowed to find its way into the League treasury. If it starts in that direction it certainly stops before it gets there. Some officers of the League, who have been the only ones benefited by the endorsement of Farrell, have quit their regular jobs and are working for him on big salaries. The reason why there is so much talk in the League about its officers is that self-respecting men cannot submit to be used as censure to pull chestnuts out of the fire for somebody else. "Do you remember with what fatal effect Jerome last year inquired of Chief Murphy: 'Where did you get it?' Well, if he did it, he indignantly making one another relative to certain of their officers: 'What are they doing with It?' GERMAN TROOPS BAYONETTED FIVE SOUTH AFRICAN WOMEN Atrocious Butchery Reported via London. LONDON, August 9—Die Riechischer Zeitung publishes a letter from a German soldier who is serving in South Africa, in which he says: "When sequestering one evening our party, counting them men and an officer, came to a water pool, about which we saw some black figures hovering. We captured them and they proved to be five native women. "It was not considered advisable to shoot them, as there were known to be 200 blacks in the neighborhood. At last a soldier suggested that they be bayoneted to that, effect, and five of us stood in front of the women and five behind them and stabbed them to death." Daly and Stroble Office Group—Kalamazoo Kentucky Office Group Circumstances seem to be falling all over themselves to amuse the candidacy of Commissioner John P. Windolph for leader of the 6th Assembly district. At the overwishing meeting Monday night of the campaign committee warm enthusiasm was aroused by the arrival of two strong captains from the opposite camp who came to add their forces to Mr. Windolph. These two accession were Messrs. Andrew Daly and Louis Strabe. Their coming greatly weakens Mr. Windolph's opponent. A most stirring welcome was given Mr. Seth Wilkes, the former president of the district club, who said in a smart tone that he has returned the first opportunity after his return get out and help Mr. Windolph. Mr. Wilkes is Deputy Tax Collector of the State and an ex-Assemblyman. Mr. Andrew McLaren, president of the district club, offered a resolution, which was unanimely passed, recommending the nomination for the Supreme Attorney Charles Gilbert, attorney of Julius Mayer; former partner of Julius Mayer; Judge Edward Klinch and Attorney Charles Whitman; and for city magistrate, in the court of General Sessions, Otto A. Rosalny. Among the Afro-Americans present were George M. Kelth, Julius W. Watson, Earl Lightburn, L. L. Stokes, L. K. Wheeler, W. Winters, John Lee, Charles Turner, Prof. Green, James Turner, William T. Hooper, S. D. Stewart, George Washington and Messrs. Hodge and Smalls. "LILY WHITE" CONVENTION AT EDITOR MURRAY'S HOME Two busy Minding Alabama's Affairs to Attend to His Own. ALEXANDRIA, Va., August 16.—Another instance exposing the reluctance of most long-distance fighters to put up a scrap at close quarters was seen here last week at the meeting of the Republcal Commission on the Convention was a "jubilantly" "Lily White" affair; and the editors of The Home News, who find so much fun in fighting Alabama battles, found it expedient to fight their battle right here in their Congressional district. Nearly 60 delegates answered to the roll call of the convention with a tempt to conceal their satisfaction at the conspicuous absence of the Afro-American brother. The editors of The Home News were nowhere in evidence. BEFORE HANGING, ACCUSED JUDGE OF DISCRIMINATION Said He Went Fishing to Avoid Granting Habescorpus. BIRMINGHAM, Ala., August 20, Earle Fletcher, an Afro-American, who was hanged here to-day for the murder of Bob Paine, a fellow convict at Flat Top mines, created a scene by denouncing Judge S. L. Weaver from the scaffold just before the drop fell. Fletcher declared that the judge had granted a habescorpus to John Williams, a white man, and served him to blame that he had been a slave to Fletcher's (Fletcher's) court, wont fishing. Fletcher said that "going fishing" was given as an excuse for the judge to leave town to avoid granting a habescorpus. MOB AFTER ITALIAN WHO SHOT AFRO-AMERICAN POLCEMAN Murderer Taken With Difficulty Through White Crowd. ASURBY PARK, N. J., August 17—Officer William R. Hodges, one of the Afro-American guardians of the peace of Springwood avenue, recently annexed to Ashbury Park, was shot and killed opposing a friday morning by Frank Marchesono. The murderer hurried away in the darkness and was about to board a train at West End when he was captured by City Detective Walsh. The Italian was brought back to Ashbury Park, where a mob was assembled at the entrance to Justice Borden's court room. Guarded by Assistant Prostitute Stokes and officers detailed from headquarters the Italian was pushed through the crowd and with some he had in the hoodpip, from which he was subsequently taken to court and held for the Grand Jury. The murderer was taken to the depot, where a Freehold train was held for five minutes to take him. Two hundred people on the platform hosted and shook their fists at the car window when he was placed safely inside. The murder grew out of a dispute with Hodges, who was out of the court of the Italian to force his way into Lyric Hall, where a dance was going on, without payment of a fee. In court Marchesono admitted he fired the shots and said Hodges had insulted him. 178 VOTE OUT OF 20,000 AFRO-AMERICANS IN BIBB CO. How Men Suffer a Poll Tax to Disfranchise Them. MACON, Ga., August 21.-Bibb county now presents one of the most striking examples of the remount of the Afro-American from politics in a registration which consists exclusively of property holders. There are but 178 Afro-Americans upon the registration books of the county and those have been forced to register because of the fact that they are required to pay property taxes and consequently cannot escape the poll tax. There are more than 20,000 Afro-Americans in Bibb county and out of this number, if held, they had been paid, there would have been something like three or four thousand Afro-Americans capable of voting, or registering. It is estimated that it would take not less than $50,000 to $75,000 to register all the delinquents for a single election in this county.

Dunber, which was astonishing for the vast amount of information it contained and the breadth and scope of territory covered during the year. Miss Dunbar's native ability and knowledge of the work make her an ideal messenger to carry the work of the Federation into new fields. The team who had been organised and brought into the Federation during the year-with an aggregate membership of 338 women, Mrs. H. O. Smith reported, for the program committee, and Mrs. J. O. Henson made a partial report on finance. These reports were followed by those of clubs in Maine, New Jersey and Connecticut. At J. H.

McDonald, pastor of the Oney street Baptist church. After Dr. McDonald was through speaking and, the applause and died away, Miss M. E. Jackson rendered a deep report for the clubs of Rhode Island. The climax, however, came when his excellency, Governor George H. Utter, arose to welcome the Federation in behalf of the State. He was cheered to the echo. Governor Utter extended to the ladies the freedom of the city and State and expressed his high approval of the work in which they are so earnestly engaged. "Instruct the woman," he said, "that she may instruct the family, and then society. She must have patience, and if I may use the term, she must have faith." He said that no great work was accomplished except in the individual, and that when you raise the character of the work, you only defend the work that is at hand, but also the character of others." "The level of Our Woman-bodied" was the subject of an interesting and well-prepared paper by Miss Ethel Davis of Boston, Mass. The response to these addresses was delivered by the gifted Mrs Olivia Ward Bush. There was a vocal response from many in the State. The conference on philanthropic and educational work was led by Mrs Francis Waltres. Springfield. The event of the evening on the women's side was the annual address by the president, Mrs. Alice W. Wiley, who after referring to the Boston convention of a year ago and to her predecessor in office, R. W. Wiley, addressed with her annual address, which ranks among the best and most thoughtful addresses ever delivered before the Federation. She said in part: "The great fulcrum upon which our work must rise or fall is the home. Every club member represents a home, and every club represents many homes. We must be here. Light and life are what we must radiate from this center. The question of morals, thrift and industry must be taught in the home first, before any tangible result can be hoped for in other places. There never was a time when this kind of work was more needed than now; not because we are not rapidly coming up to the highest and best standards of living but because of the superior advantages we have to improve our condition. "We are to strive to make ourselves proficient in those branches of industry which will yield in return for our labor sufficient means to guarantee independence of thought and action in our winning daily bread. "Our girls and young women should be taught their cook, cook, sweep, wash and iron, as well as how to do a problem in mathematics or describe the circulation of the blood. They should learn the trades as well as the professions; they are to create their own business by self-activity. These are some of the things taught in our Federation club. Self-help, perseverance and self reliance—these are the tests by which we are to overcome opposition, armour difficulties and pave the way for brighter hopes and higher aspirations for our youth. "We must cry aloud from every hillside and mountain top against superstition, prejudice and oppression. We can no longer hold our peace while by treachery and unconstitutional enactment our own manhood being robbed of their manhood rights. Some one might ask. What have we to do with that? I answer. A great deal. We can agitate, raise money and educate—the time will come when a monster, also wipe this wickedness out of existence. "The past history of our Federation gives assurances that her future must be bright. I believe there is need of more care being exercised with those who constitute our club membership. There is, in fact, a great need and much good talent thrown away. Our work should be so planned and systematized that every member will be given some particular duty to perform. In the hardness of the struggle the devotion and self-sacrifice of those faithful few are overburdened; while others sit by and loom on." Among the president's recommendations was that the Northfield home should be made in reality a place or rest; mothers' meetings should not be neglected, and the juvenile work also is important: lynching should be suppressed; and the trustees' thropy has proved its usefulness; arms, crafts and illustrated lectures should not be overlooked. The president paid a high tribute to the women's club of this city and section, and closed with a beautiful and intimate reception. Miss Roberta J. Dunbar, organiser, reported in brief as follows: "There are eight clubs from Massachusetts, four from New York, one from Rhode Island, one from Maryland, and one from Pennsylvania. "The club idea has grown steadily during the past year. Massachusetts beads the list with eight clubs, and we see that it was not in vain the convention most last year in the grand old Bay State. "The cities represented are Haverhill Boston, Cambridge and New Bedford. Next in line comes the State of New York with four clubs, the cities represented being Brooklyn, Geneva, Yonkers and Auburn. "We have had the pleasure of greeting a club from Maryland, and one from Pennsylvania. "We have the promise of clubs from Delaware and quite a number from the State of Pennsylvania. "This makes 15 clubs, numbering 358 women." Friday morning immediately after the convention was called to order the roster was cleared and the convention proceeded to the annual election of officers, no person being admitted except regularly accredited delegates. The election was made with despatch, and was the smooth held by the president, but not the candidate, put in against Mrs. Wiley, her reelection was made unanimous.

Special Correspondence of The Am HARVEST FIRST, August 18, 1948 The Niagara movement has been holding their meetings here since August. There are about four delegates from New York, the usual four from Boston, one from Chicago and a few other scattering ones, but the bulk are from Washington. Of course reports will be sent out to the effect that a large number of States are in Washington to understand the significance of these "patent" Washington delegates. Of course, it is very easy to get up at any hour or any day a number of clerks who will represent almost every State in the Union at short notice. For example, in August 1948, logging the State of Georgia, although he has not lived there for fifteen years, and his case is illustrated of others. On John Brown day Rev. Reverdy Camusius Ranom, whose talents no one has denied, delivered a scholarly and eloquent address on John Brown, whom he placed among the heroes of history, and gave the honors Savonarola and Toussaint L'Overture. The address to the country written by Dr. DuBois, is a fine and touching piece of rhetoric. It paints a dimal and pathetic picture of the situation of the Afro-American and characteristically gloomy cloud. The effect of such an address is profound and unlawful discouragement to Afro-Americans. Dr. DuBois was re-elected general secretary and George H. Jackson Eqn. of Cincinnati, National treasurer. Women were definitely declared to be eligible to membership and Mrs. G. W. Morgan, of Cambridge, Mass., was appointed head of the women. Associated membership was also established. The address follows: The men of the Niagara movement coming from the toll of the year's hard work and pausing a moment from the carving of their daily bread turn toward the nation, and the women of Niagara have privilege of a bearing. In the past year the work of the Negro hater has nourished in the land. Step by step the defenders of the rights of American citizens have retreated. Of stealing the black man's ballot has proceeded. In the presentatives of stolen votes still sit in the nation's capital. Discrimination in travel and public accommodation has so spread that some of our weaker brethren are actuated against color discrimination as such and are simply whispering for ordinary decencies. Against this the Niagara Movement eternally protests. We will not be satisfied with manhood, rights. We claim for ourselves every single right that belongs to a freeborn American, political, civil and social; and it is our duty to protest and ameliorate the cars of America. The battle we wage is not for ourselves alone but for all true Americans. It is a battle for all Americans, a fatherland, false to its founding, become in truth the land of the thief and the home of the Slave by word and a hissing among the slaves for finding pretensions and pitiful accomplishment. Never before in the modern age has a great and civilised folk threatened to adopt so cowardly a creed in the treatment of its fellow-citizens born and bred on its soll. Stripped of verblage and subterfuge and in its naked nastiness the new American creed says: Fear to let-the men even try to rise lest they become the equals of the white. And this is the land that professes to follow Jesus Christ. The blasphemy of such a course is only matched by its cowardice. In detail our demands are clear and unequivocal. First, we would vote; with the right to vote goes everything: Freedom, manhood, the honor of your wives, the chastity of your daughters, the right to work, and the chance to rise, and let no man listen to those who deny this. We want full manhood and forever, and we want it now, henceforth and forever. Second. We want discrimination in public accommodation to cease. Separation in railway and street cars, based simply on race and color, is un-American, undemocratic. We protest against all such discrimination. Third. We claim the right of freemen to walk, talk, and be with them that wish to be with us. No man has a right to choose another man's friends and so far as possible, we have no more often arrested, convicted and mobbed. We want justice even for criminals and outlaws. We want the Constitution of the country enforced. We want Congress to take charge of Congressional elections. We want Congress to send the letter and every State disfranchised in Congress which attempts to disfranchise its rightful voters. We want the Fifteenth Amendment enforced and no State allowed to base its franchise simply on color. We want the Party in Congress at the session just closed to redeem its pledge of 1004 with reference to suffrage conditions at the South seems a plain, deliberate, and premeditated breach of the equality of obtaining votes under false pretence. Fifth. We want our children educated. The school system in the country districts of the South is a disgrace and in few towns and cities are the Negro schools what they ought to be. We want the national government to be more involved in the South. Either the United States will destroy ignorance or ignorance will destroy the United States. And when we call for education we mean real education. We believe in work. We mean education. But work is not necessarily education. Education is the embodiment of power and ideal. We want our children trained as intelligent human beings should be, and we will fight for all time. We want our children to be girls simply as servants and underlings, or simply for the use of other people. They have a right to know, to think, to aspire. These are some of the chief things which we want to teach our children, where we may vote, by persistent, unceasing agitation; by bhamming at the truth, by sacrifice and work. We want to teach our children the deplained violence of the raid nor the lauded violence of the soldier, nor the harboring violence of the mob, but we do believe in John Brown. In that incarnate spirit we want to teach our children to need to sacrifice money, reputation, and life itself on the altar of right. And here on the scene of John Brown's martyrdom we ourselves, our honor, our property to the end, our race which John Brown died to make free. Our enemies, trumpetman for the present, are fighting the atars in their courses. Justice and humanity must prevail. We live in a world in which we are scattered in counsel, wavering and weak—that no bride of money or notorily, no nominee of wealth or fame, in worth the surrender of a people's manhood or the loss of a nation. We must render the leadership of this race to concedes and truckers. We are men; we will be treated as men. On this rock we have planted our bananas. We will never give us the trump of doom and we still fighting. the present突围战 II. Thank God for John Brown I. Thank God for Garrett and Bingham I. Bunnyey and Fidgley, Not Turner Gunpowder and Gunpowder, Not Turner Gunpowder and who died for freedom I. Thank God for all those law, law through their voices in, who have not neglected the Grits of the American people, the rich and poor, fortune and undertakings. We appeal to the young men and women of this nation to those whose motifs are the same as those of the American people. Rural narrowsness: Stand up for the right-prove yourselves worthy of your horticulture and whether born north or south dawn. The American people have absorbed ten million foreigners into its political life without antithesis above ten years. American history: American politics live at than the subject and illegal exclusion will involve? Courage, brothers! The battle for humanity is not lost or losing. All across the skies, six signs of promise. The Havvah is a symbol of hope. The taming of hells, taming illions, the black, Africans are写着 toward the light, and everywhere the laborer, with ballot in his hand, is voting open the gates of Opportunity and Peace. The morning breakover blood-stirred hills. The sun's rays, the shrimp. Above are the overlanding stars. Harper's Ferry, W. Va., August 16-19. Harp's Ferry, W. Va., August 16-19, 1006. There are many people here from Washington who are spending the heated days in this region and are enjoying themselves hugely. Mrs. Mary Church-Terrrell and children are spending a few days here resting. The family of Mr. Whitefield McKinlay has also been here. The cheerful face of Prof. R. T. Greener has added much to the pleasure of people who come to Harper's Ferry for rest. VOTERS OF OLD 19th HOLD Ovation for Mr. Quigle and Mathalasam for John J. Hahn. The regular Republican organization of the old 19th Assembly district gave its annual picnic and summernight's festival at Gutterling's Cosmopolitan park and casino on Tuesday night. An immense throng was out. The picnic in the nature of a farewell, as the old 19th no longer exists. As it was the last outing in which the Afro-American voters, now re-apportioned into the 13th Assembly district, could meet their old leaders of the 19th, 4th, race was largely represented. Delegates of Afro-Americaners were present too from other districts, especially the 9th and 31st. The air was electric with enthusiasm for Hon. John J. Hahn, the next Republican leader of the 13th district. When Mr. Lemuel E. Quigr arrived he was given a stirring ation. He held a levee to greet his friends and ebook hands with about a 100 people. Everybody was a 100 people. The march was led by President John C. Coleman and Hon. Theodore P. Gilman. COLE AND JOHNSON MAKE MIT Large Audience on Opening Night in Washington. WASHINGTON, August 21—To those who enjoy a lively show, with plenty of comedy and an abundance of good music, the Shoo Fly Regiment," the latest contribution to musical comedy by Cole and Johnson, offers just recompense for her skillful delivery at the Majestic this week, and last evening a large audience was in attendance. The play is a comedy creation, with some serious reflections upon the condition of the Afro-American in the South, and with an ample number of pleasing habitats and musical features introduced. Bob Cole, as Hunter Wilson, the irrepressible janitor of Lincolnville Institute, is the principal purveyor of comedy, creating much amusement by his broad comedy work and topical songs, the most effective being, "If Adam Hadn't Seen the Apple Tree, the Still, Small Volce," and "Down in the Philippines." Rossmond Johnson appears in the leading juvenile role of Edward Jackson, an educated Afro-American, who forsakes the teacher's vocation for the fire of a soldier. His best work in the play consists of his vocal numbers making hits with "Just How Much I Love You," "With Gul," and "Floating Down the Nile." The best character work is furnished by Bob A. Kelly, as Uncle July Jackson, an old-time Afro-American and Elizabeth Williams, as Aunt Phoebe, his wife. Considerable merriment is injected by the songs and antics of Irving Allen and Sam Lucas, in the roles of Bro Dollittle and Bro Dolless, the "bode of love" of the best vocal numbers fall to the list of Anna Cook Pankey, as Martha Jones, the lady principal of Lincolnville Institute. She has a soprano voice of good quality, and rendered in a pleasing manner, "I'll Always Love Old Dixie" and "Southland." He is well trained, and the minor roles, both comedy and serious, are well sustained. Some very entertaining specialities are introduced notably the second in which Siren Newyork takes the premier part. Aside from those already mentioned, other noteworthy musical numbers are "Bode of Edujacshun," by Meersa. Allen and Lucas; "Run, Brun, Drabble Rabbit, Run," by Matt Marshall and Andrew Tribble, and "On the Gay Luneta," by Meersa and clique. The whole show is entertaining with a succession of bright features that keep the interest acute throughout. Inez Clough made a distinctly favoyable impression, her strong soprano voice eliciting much of the applause. COMPULSORY EDUCATION HELPS So He Opposes It—Backpedaled When Proof Was Mentioned. COLUMBIA, S. C., August 21.—Senator Tillman has come out against the compulsory education programs, which he declares, means giving the Afro-Americans the advantage. In a recent speech he said that the Columbia State lied when it made the assertion that a compulsory education law would keep Afro-Americans out of the schools. "To settle the question of lying," Editor Gonzales has invited three personal and political friends of Senator Tillman—two former State treasurers and the president of a National bank—to act as a committee and find a verdict on the record. If Tillman is sustained, the editor retire from editorial advocacy of compulsory education, admit the charge and give $200 to the association. If Tillman is not sustained he is admit the lie and enrich the cotton association's treasury by $200. The challenge is still pending. Edward V.

Norwood of this city who took a trade course at Taukegee Institute, has just been granted a patent for a railroad signal register. Railroad experts who have examined the device pronounce it one of the most ingenious inventions for preventing railroad accidents that has ever come to light. Mr. Norwood's register indicates the actual movement of all trains on any line and records the time of arrival and departure of all trains from all points. This record can be received on a moving train. The engineers on any train within in a given number of miles—say 15 or 20—apart will be able to tell the exact point where the train is and its rate of speed. All stations along the line can have the same register in their private trains from the train can tell the location of a train. In other words the program of a train is registered all the time until its arrival. There is also a part of the same invention—a switch fog signal, which will indicate an open switch, in case of fog or snow storm. The real value of this invention is that it renders collisions practically impossible. A great deal of interest has been manifested by railroad movers in inventing Mr. Norrow's hose formation difficulty in getting his invention capitalized. A corporation known as the Norwood Signal Register Co. has been formed with a capital stock of $200,000. Whitman Sisters Succeed at Atlantic City. The Whitman Sisters and Willie Robinson, who have been at Atlantic City for some weeks, have filled numerous concert engagements and have become immensely popular, especially among the church people. These artists make their way by sheer genius and push, and are looking forward to the coming season of work with confidence, as they have already secured several profitable engagements. They will make their headquarters in or near New York City. ang 10-05-1y S Telephone Conscriptus M. HAHN WINES, LIQUORS and CORDIALS 823 COLUMBUS AVE.

Signs Point to Ungual Attendance in Brooklyn. The grand convention of the Improved Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks of the World will be held in Brooklyn next Tuesday to Friday, and many of the antered tribe from all over the country are expected to arrive Monday and Tuesday morning. Dr. Atkins of Hammonton, Virginia, writes that many Southern lodges will be represented by seventy or more representatives. Hon. J. William Holmes of Pennsylvania, State Deputy W. H. Hammond of Durham, N. C.; Deputy John W. Patterson of Washington, D. C.; Samuel Steward, Esq., of Pueblo, Ode; and William Lewis, Esq., Grand Ensemble, Escorting Night, Baltimore, Maryland, have been promised similar delegations from all over their States and other States. Chicago and Norfolk lodges will send a large body of men and about 10 delegates, as their organizations are so large—the membership is 1,800. Muchachi, however, will be allowed only two official representatives at the convention, but Chicago and Norfolk will be an exception to this wide. The convention will be a great success. The most conservative opinion of those who are in position to know, both those who have strenuously supported the movement from the start and those who either by direct opposition or silent doubt as to the feasibility of the undertaking have withheld more or less their support, in that the convention is no longer a matter of doubt. The Joint Legislative Committee has committed itself to see the movement through. The Special Committee of Ten, which is working to select places for the delegates, has been appointed to attend and will be ready to announce the names and places of selection to the delegates on arrival at the different railroad stations, where several members of the Committee of Tea will be attested under the custody of J.T. Smith. An expressed by Mr. Bates in communications to the lodges, the essential thing to make the convention a tremendous success in to have the unanimous support, sympathy, assistance and active aid of all lodges. Mr. Bates stressed this point in his communications, and it appears that his words took root in the minds of many of the recipients, as is shown by the largely increased number of lodges which willogle will be in a gala attire, and all present indications point to a most enjoyable and memorable reunion. Entertainments suited to all tastes have been provided for the delegates and other visitors. The grand convention will hold its first business session Tuesday afternoon. Reorganization and revision of the Constitution are two of the most important matters to come before the convention. So great has been the growth of the Order that it has been found necessary to broaden its scope, and place it upon a more solid foundation. By the adoption of the proposed new constitution three forms of government will be established, executive, judicial and legislative. This will put all the executive power in the hands of the grand exalted chief executive of the diplomatic branch the arbitration of all questions pertaining to the order will be placed in the hands of board of directors or similar body. The legislative power, of course, will devolve upon all delegates in convention. A new ritual will be prepared. Many knights of the antelope will attend the official excursion the first evening to Cony Island in charge of Manhattan Lodge No. 45. Lodge B2 of Brooklyn will entertain them the next evening at a picnic, and Progressive Lodge the following night with a similar entertainment. Mr. Pope closes the event with a farewell festival at Umer Park on the 31st so which delegates are cordially invited and their friends. The following streets will be the time of march. Through Lewis avenue, from Fulton street, to Lafayette; down Lafayett to Washington; through Washington to Gates; down Gates to Bedford avenue; and through Bedford to the Boulevard. Regarding the grand exalted ruler ship, a brother Folk from the South recently said to the writer: "Bates, to my mind, is the man awaited for that office. He is a young man of earnest and consistent Christian character and of extraordinary attainments in scholarship. He is quick, energetic, clear and clean in his mental processes, devoted to duty, industrious and enthusiastic. You would be fortunate if you persuaded him to accept the office." I advised our friend to let the delegates attend to this work. Mr. Bates is one of the albeit men who have taken a grand lodge degree; he is effective and sympathetic as a teacher, and as a man his influence is of the best.

Hawkins, born in Muenlenburg County, Verginia, 1859, and proprietor of the Hotel Hawkins and Café, 18-80 Myrtle Avenue, Brooklyn, is a pioneer business man, a leader in promoting business enterprises, a man of strong convictions, a conservative and hostile manager, and a leader of local note. He is commonly known as "Boss" Hawkins. He has been a successful merchant in various lines of business for the past 33 years, and has considerable property in Virginia and other parts of the South. He is said to be one of the most determined business promoters in the City of Churches among the Afro-Americans. Prof. Hawkins is prominently connected with many local organizations and secret fraternities, namely: President of the National Enterprise and Bergenfield Association; treasurer of Extensor Lodge No. 6, K. of E.; chairman of banking committee of Widow's Son Lodge No. 11, F. and A. E.; financial secretary of Brooklyn Lodge No. 32, of T. B. P. O. Ethes of the World; charter member of the same; 1. grand district deputy and commissioner State of New York, I. B. P. G.

B. P. O. Elks of the World; agent for Southern Bureau of Information and an active member of the H. H. Garnett Republican Club. Prof. Hawkins says in no ambiguous terms that he is vehemently and eternally against "one man rule" and is a reformer to the manner born. As one of the members of the Joint Legislative Committee he so uncompromisingly opposed to the most bigoted policy of the present Grand Leader of the Elks fraternity. It has been reported that Prof. Hawkins was on the "fence" in the Elks movement in New York State but to this invoicing inimical to his good name in the fraternity, he wishes to place strong emphasis on his denial. Prof. Hawkins has spared no pain of money to procure every convenience necessary for the delegates who have notified him of their desire to take an interest under the roof of his hotel during the Convention. Delegates will find up-to-date service rooms, recently thoroughly renovated barber shop attached with all improvements, neat baths and all the comforts of home at reasonable city prices. Special treat to visitors and delegates to the Grand Convention of Elks. All cars pass the door, "L" station at Bridge street only a few doors from the Hotel Hawkins. Prof. Hawkins is doing an excellent business at present and making a remarkable success in various lines of business. A friend recently said to him: "I have been much impressed with your fairness and integrity in conducting business through preparatory stages and shall be glad to recommend your work and place of business to others." Delegates will find a warm welcome and a congenial fraternal gladness at Hotel Hawkins—ady. NEARLY WALLED UP ALIVE; THOUGHT IT WAS A JOKE Nonchalant Laborer Was Smoking Pipe When Recessed. PHILADELPHIA, August 20—William Hutchins, an Afro-American employed by the Philadelphia Rapid Transit company, came very near being walked up alive while helping to build the subway at Fifth and Market streets this morning. When she superintendent of the "gang" saw that it was necessary for one of the employees to crawl into the excavation under the pavement at the southwest corner of Fifth and Market streets to pump out the water so that the bricklayers could build a wall there, he delegated Hutchins to do the work. As the wall running parallel with the curb on Market street was nearly finished, the bricklayers in Hutchins to come out, but he replied, "That's all right. I can get out at the Fifth street end of this here tunnel." The wall was finished, and after waiting several hours for Hutchins to appear the section house came alarmed and ordered the wall torn down. Puffing away at his pipe Hutchins was neated on the ground working at his pump, and when told that he came very near being entombed, he said: "Well, wouldn't that have been a joke on me?" Fetally Shot in a Quarrel. PHILADELPHIA, August 21. After an all night search Saturday Detectives Linder and Walker yesterday arrested Charles Smith, an Afro-American of 3041 Agate street, who is charged with having shot Walter Ray, also an Afro-American, of 3022 Agate street, during a quarrel at Rush street and Trenton avenue on Saturday evening. Ray is in the hospital, and will die, the doctors say. A bullet entered his abdomen and performed his intestines. The detective found Smith hiding in Frankfort mill He was committed to prison by Magistrate Eisenbrown.

President Reevevelt on Republican issues In another column of THE AGE to day we give the full text of the Presiding Roosevelt's review of the situation, with special reference to the ensuing Congress elections. It is a very able review of what has been accomplished in legislation by the last Congress. The President wants the Republican majority in Congress continued because of the good work it has done and to enable him to get the further legislation needed to make effective the general policy which he has formulated with regard to corporations, labor unions and the Panama Canal. We are sure that the Afro-American people will note with interest how completely they and their rights have passed out of the policy of the Republican party, in the President's statement of what Congress has accomplished in the past two years and what he hopes to have it accomplish in the next two years. It is very clear that the Afro-American and his rights are no longer a part of the policy of the Republican party. The wrongs which have been hitched upon him in disfranchisement, separate accommodations by land and water, separation in public schools, and infamous miscegenation laws, by the Southern Democratic oligarchy; the Republican party simply accepts these wrongs of the Southern States, as fixtures with which the party has no concern at all. The Afro-American is told in the language of silence that he must hustle for his own life in the citizenship of the Republic. William Travers Jerome Mr. William Travers Jerome, a famboyant citizen of this town, who is a whole political outfit in himself, has announced that he will accept the Democratic nomination for Governor of New York State if allowed to be his own platform. Strangely enough, The New York State is whoooping it up for Jerome, as also are all of the dear Mugwump newspapers which do not believe in government by party but by individual initiative. The probabilities are that Mr. Jerome will receive the Democratic nomination, because the Democratic party in New York State has fallen so low in the public estimation that it will grab at any alleged votegetter who is sharp enough to create the belief that he is the whole political "it" in the situation. We want none of William Travers Jerome in ours, and we do not think there are any Afro Americans in New York State who want any of him. It is to be hoped that the Republican leaders will compose their differences and nominate a ticket at the Saratoga convention that the Democrats cannot beat with Jerome or any other man. The Southern Democratic Political Trust. Under the caption, "Bryan's Hoodoo," The New York Independent has the following to say: "The railroad problem now occupies his mind, and he has decided if the newspapers know anything about it that Mr. Roosevelt's rate regulation and the more radical proposition, to turn the railroads over to the Federal Government, are equally unsatisfactory. He has devised a scheme of his own which he proposes to offer as the novel plan for his plight. He cruises by describing it as a plan for State ownership in distinction from National ownership. * * * Does Mr. Bryan advocate this queer plan of State railroad system because a Federal railroad system would not provide a 'Jim Crow' car service north of Mason and Dixon's line, and does Mr. Bryan imagine that by making this concession to the Federal system, he could solid South while fighting along advanced radical lines for political success in the North." This surmise of The Independent that Bryan is catering to Southern race prejudice in his advocacy of State instead of National control of railroads seems well founded, in view of the fact that Mr. Bryan, in his last campaign, ignored certain questions propounded to him by Afro-Americans as to his position on the race question in the South. We recall also Mr. Bryan's inordinate solicitude for the condition of the Philippines and East Indians, deploying with tears in his mouth the treatment they are receiving, while the political and social condition of the Afro-Americans in the South stinks to high heaven because of the brutality, ignorance and outright cussetness of his bosom friends and colleagues in the Democratic party. Afro-Americans are with Roosevelt in favor of National regulation of railroads, and we so him one better and ask for National supervision of elections of members of Congress. There are fully one hundred Congress districts in the South that by a fair and accurate vote are Republican, but which are invariably represented by Democrats because of the fraudulent, bullying, shotgun policy of such Bryan Jemerleas as Tillman, Vardaman and the like of them. Election for President and Opposition should be separate from State and municipal elections and should be controlled by Federal authorities, as State and municipal elections are controlled by State and municipal authorities. State politics and Federal politics are separate and distinct and should be kept separate in the voting and control of the voting. The Afro-American might have been a thousand times better in his citizenship to-day had the United States developed more of the Hamiltonian than the Jeffersonian ideas as to State governments. Afro-Americans necessarily are Hamiltonian Federalists, and the sooner the various States lose some of their sovereignty the sooner will Afro-Americans get what is due them. The Supreme Court has given the States control of what are termed police regulations, in which are included about all the minor rights of the citizens of the States, and which, in view of the persistent determination of Mr. Bryan's Southern Democratic colleagues to humiliate and oppress the Afro-Americans of this country, will eventually create as effective a system of serfdom in the South as ever obtained in darkest Europe. Mr. Bryan's party is holding the Afro-American down with an iron hand, and his effort to ride two horses at once, both going in different directions, by endorsing the "Jim Crow" system of the South, is a feat he cannot accomplish, and the end of his fiasco will be as ridiculous, if he is nominated, as was his foolish advocacy of 10 to 1 against the judgment and experience of the financial interests of the country. Mr. Bryan is lauded by his adherents as a "trust buster"; but the trust he never bursts, because he never mentions it, is the Southern Democratic trust, which was not only conceived in fraud and brought forth in siniquity, but is doing business on stolen votes, false promises and murder. In this Southern political trust one Southern white voter counts for about ten times as much as a Northern voter. It would seem that here would be a good field for Mr. Bryan to help his country rid itself in the eyes of the world of a standing shame and blot upon its fair name. When Republicanis fire at the South for its political raciality the machine Democracy dodges behind the cry of "waving the bloody shirt." But Bryan and the Southern Democrats can clear up their own household themselves without it. Will they dare undertake it? New York Republicans. The two factions which have been striking for the mastery of the Republican party of New York State during the past two years had a showdown of their strength at the meeting of the State Committee, in New York, last week, when the Odell-Quigg people outvoted the Higgins-Parons people and took charge of affairs, or rather, retained the control which they have had all along. The matter was decided by one vote only, but it is a fact that Chairman Odell had other votes in reserve if they had been needed. The matter of final control will be fought in the primaries and then in the convention at Saratoga next month, but it is regarded as quite certain that the Higgins-Parons people are already whipped, and that the Odell-Quigg people will dominate the Saratoga convention. Governor Higgins has not declared that he wants a remination, and he may not do so now, as the chances are that the Saratoga convention would not gratify his wishes. The Odell-Quigg people represent the regular party organization people of the State. They have controlled the party organization during the past twenty years. They have made mistakes, as it is impossible for men not to do so, but they have controlled the party wisely and kept it in control of the government of New York State for a great part of the time. Indeed, under their control, New York State has come to be regarded as a reliably Republican in all State and National elections. While Senator Platt was the leader of the party most of the time here indicated Mr. Quigg in New York County and Mr. Odell in the State have been the working force, and during the past few years Mr. Odell has controlled the leadership. During the past few years an opposition has been created to Mr. Odell's control of the party, but efforts to undo him have not prevailed. The Saratoga convention, September 20, will settle the matter of party control for the emaining two years, at least, and it looks now as though the Odell-Quigg people will boss the job when the smoke of battle clears away. The Afro-Cuban It is announced that the Cuban government has nipped in the bud a conspiracy to overthrow the administration of President Palma. Perhaps it has, but we doubt it. The chances are that the conspiracy has been headed off for the moment. There has been widespread dissatisfaction with the Palma administration from the beginning, as the opinion was general and still prevails that Palma was the special candidate of the American Government. The people who did most of the fighting and contributed most of the money for the prosecution of the Cuban revolution against Spain were Pro-Cubans, who in the American war against Spain allowed white Cubans to boss the job on politic and diplomatic grounds. We saw the fallacy of that policy, and pointed it out to some of those named as conspirators, which led to subordination of them in the American Protectorate under Governor General Fitzhugh Lee and has led to the same thing under the conduct of the Cuban government by President Palma. You can't eat your pep and have it. The Afro-Albanians did that. If they get what is that the in the conduct of the government of Cuba they will have to fight for it. The Cuban revolution was sustained by the contribution of Cuban cigar makers in the United States, who gave up a stipulated portion of their earnings every week, and a majority of their patrons were Afro-Cubans. The Cuban army was made up as to the body of the troops by Afro-Cubans, and they were commanded for the most part by Afro-Cubans, from the nine Mexican brothers, all of whom died in battle, down. But these Afro-Cubans receive small credit during the program of the war and small consideration in the government of the country since the war. Of course they are dismantled, and will seek to correct the error they made in standing aside for the white Cubans. A white man nowhere has any conscience. Glynn the chance everywhere he will take his shares and that of the other fellow as well. It is hard to make black folks understand this. As we go to press it appears that the conspiracy has not been nipped at all, but is very much in evidence. the Philippine Islands. It has always been our belief that some sort of understanding was also reached with these Southern Democrats at the time that Afro-Americans were not to be employed in the administration of these countries and that the labor question in the Southern States should never be disturbed by the employment of Afro-American labor. The policy has been pursued, at any rate, in all of the territories acquired from Spain, and in Hawaii, not only under President McKinley but under President Roosevelt as well. The policy rules in the employment of Afro-American labor in the Panama Canal Zone. It does not seem conceivable that such a policy would have been adopted and rigidly enforced all along the line without such understanding as we have indicated. The policy is now quite twelve years old. It looks as if it had come to stay. Will it? Can Afro-American labor dig the big canal? We think it can.

Afro-Americans and the Insular Territories Having experimented with all sorts of West Indian white and black labor, the Panama Canal Commission, it has been employed Chinese labor to dig the big canal. The announcement has been made that West Indian black labor has proved the poorest of all labor with which the Commission has experimented. The faby story is told that these people could not stand the good eating and clean living, including baths and proper medical attention, which the Commission insist upon in their employees. The manual laborers on the canal receive ten cents an hour, so that if a man works ten hours he will earn one dollar. This is mighty poor wages for the sort of labor to be performed and the material conditions surrounding the work; but that is the gate enforced by the Commission. If the West Indian blacks, who are immune from the conditions indent to the climate of the Isthmus, have proven a failure, then it is difficult to see how even the Chinese can succeed, despite the fact that they are regarded as the toughest manual labor drudgers in all of the earth. They certainly are the most stolid and plodding, but the number of them who die as a result of the severe labor they are willing to do for wages which defy competition will easily be shown in any given situation where they labor, as in the sugar plantations of Hawaii, for instance. But when once the Chinese labor force is used there is always an unlimited supply, so that it does not become necessary to take into account the numbers who die. When people have an abundance of anything, whether of labor or other marketable commodity, they become prodigal in the use of it. If the Commission have finally decided to employ Chinese labor they can get all of it that they may want. It is a peculiar fact, to which we have directed attention before, that while the Council Commission have experimented with all sorts of labor they have carefully obtained from giving the Afro-American laborer a chance. The same thing is true in the employment of labor in Hawaii and the Philippines. The policy of the Government has been and is to exclude Afro-American laborers entirely, and other Afro-Americans in all other capacities, as far as possible, from the territories of Ponto Rio, Panama, Hawaii and the Philippines. In those territories they have not been employed in any capacity whatever when it could be avoided. We have sought in all directions for an explanation of this peculiar policy, but we have been unable to reach any definite conclusion, because those who have the policy in charge have not shown any disposition to discuss it. We have reached two reasons, however, based upon personal observation and close study of the subject, at home and in the Orient, which go far to explain the policy: 1. Afro-Americans are not wanted in the Inular Territories in any capacity whatever, because Southern white men nominate the civil, military and social life of these territories. They have a good thing and they wish to keep it to themselves. But the social phase of the matter is at the bottom of the whole business, as it is in the Southern States. The governing authorities have drawn the color line on the natives of all of the territories. When Secretary Taft was Governor-General of the Philippines he did what he could to break down the barriers and to give the natives a fair and square deal, but the force with which he had been surrounded in the government were stronger than he. When he was succeeded by a rank Southern the treatment of the natives was of such a character as to provoke the open revolts with which the authorities are still dealing. The Filipino is very much like the American Indian; he thinks he is as good as the other man, and when this is disputed he will fight. Now, the Afro-Americans have been kept out of the Inular Territories as far as possible because they mix freely with the natives and soon establish good relations with them; the authorities have not desired this; as it has been said, it would complicate the race question unnecessarily. But the real trouble has been and is that all Americans away from home have to be treated as being on equality in the positions they occupy, whether in the civil or military establishments; if not, the natives want to know why. So the policy was adopted to keep Afro-Americans out as far as possible. In line with this policy, neither President McKinley nor President Roosevelt has ever appointed an Afro-American to any high government position in the Inular Territories. 2. In the precipitation of the Spanish war and the issues growing out of it, President McKinley found it necessary to have the support of Southern Democrats in the Congress. Large numbers of these people were appointed to high positions in the army and in the civil government of Cuba, Porto Rico and the Philippines Islands. It has always been our belief that some sort of understanding was also received with these Southern Democrats at the time that Afro-Americans were not to be employed in the administration of these countries and that the labor question in the Southern States should never be disturbed by the employment of Afro-American labor. The policy has been pursued at any rate, in all of the territories acquired from Spain, and in Hawaii, not only under President McKinley but under President Roosevelt as well. The policy rules in the employment of Afro-American labor in the Panama Canal Zone. It does not seem conceivable that such a policy would have been adopted and rigidly enforced all along the line without some such understanding as we have indicated. The policy is now quite twelve years old. It looks as if it had come to stay. Will it? Can Afro-American labor dig the big canal? We think it can. But as the authorities who have charges of the work have decided that they do not intend even to give that labor a trial, we are bound to conclude that there is something at the bottom of the whole matter which has not been made public. But we are not going to do that on our day. And the policy which excludes Afro-Americans from the civil service in the Insular Territories, the truth about that will be known some day. Lynched in the Presence of the Governor. Governor Glen of North Carolina and Governor Heywood of South Carolina are both opposed to mob and lynch law. There were lynchings in both of their States during the past ten days. Governor Glenn went right after the Salisbury lynchers in the courts, and one of them has been tried and convicted and sentenced to fifteen years in the penitentiary. That sort of action on the part of Southern governors and the courts would soon put a stop to mob violence. Judge Long of North Carolina deserves well of the people of, his State for the attitude he took toward the lynchers. He believes that the courts and the processes of law should be respected, and he put his belief into practice in the only way to make it effective. Governor Heywood of South Carolina made a brave plea that the law be allowed to take its course in the case of an alleged criminal. The mob listened to him patiently and applauded him loudly when he had finished his address, and then proceeded to lynch the prisoner, practically in the presence of the Governor. We have seen no statement of any action the Governor instituted as a result of the conduct of the mob, but that the police that he will have allowed the matter to be dropped without some action which would show the mob that it is not bigger and stronger than the lawful authority of the State of South Carolina. When a man is lynched in the presence of a governor, in a condition of society where such a thing could happen, there must be something radically weak in the body of the citizenship. Mob law is an indication of absence of law, or inefficiency of such as there may be, and indicates a low moral and mental condition of the people, for the best of laws are of no value if they are not respected and enforced by the public opinion in a given place. The Southern States have so long been governed by a public opinion which defies and flouts law and lawful authority that respect; for these has reached the very lowest point among all classes of the citizenship. Let us hope that the attitude of the governors of North and South Carolina may help to bring about a better state of affairs. --- Good Luck to the Elks. The fight which the local Elks, in Manhattan, Brooklyn and Jersey City are making against Grand Exalted Ruler B. T. Howard has its attractive feature. When the Grattian law was passed in the New York Legislature and arrests of Afro-Americans were made in several parts of the State for wearing Elk pins, the Grand Ruler was at once convinced that the annual convention, set this year by the grand lodge for Brooklyn, ought to fly to more congenial climes, and designated—without authority, they say—Columbus O., as the place of meeting. The local lodge felt that the better part would be to come right on here with the convention and board this new lion of prejudice in his den. This course was, of course, the more courageous and gratifying. We are also pleased with the local lodges for the resolutions and energy with which they have proceeded to ensure the success of the Brooklyn meeting. They deserve to succeed and say they will. The Niagara Movement's address is too bitter and ingrubulous. Let's have something cheerful. --- Now Valparaiso, Chill, has been destroyed by an earthquake. The present year has been notable for earthquake and volcanic eruptions in every quarter of the globe. --- Some soldiers of the Twentieth Infantry, stationed at Brownville, Texas, had a fraca with some of the white citizens, in which one of the latter was killed and one wounded. The citizens of Texas have represented the stationing of detachments of this regiment in their State and have been nagging the soldiers right along. The Brownville affair affirmed up the Texas Governor and Senators, and Representatives in Congress to petition the President to remove the troops from the State. The War Department has ordered the three companies at Fort Pike Ringgold, Texas, to Among the troops stationed in that State to another State there appears to have been no decision reached by the President and the War Department. They should not be removed, let them remain in Texas, and if the whites do not treat them right they have shown wherever they have been that they can take care of themselves. WASHINGTON, August 20—President Reagan gave a great impetus to the Republican Congressional campaign today by making public a letter to Representatives James R. Watson of Indiana, whip of the House, in which he emphasizes the necessity of re-electing a Republican House of Representatives. Incidentally the President paid a high tribute to Speaker Cannon. The President's letter caused some surprise here, but its significance is not lost on the politician, who realizes that the President has determined to throw his personality into the campaign, and that will mean much for the Republican nominee. From this time forward the issue before the people will be: The President; shall his leadership be indoored? On that issue the Republicans will be in measurably strengthened in the opinion of both Republicans and Democrats here. The letter follows: President Reeve's Letter. "OYTNEY BAY, N. Y., AUG. 18, 1900. "MY DEAR WATRON: I hear through Speaker Cannon and Representative Sherman that you have volunteered as a Congressional Committee for the entire paign, without regard to the effect it may have upon your canvases in your own district, and I feel like writing you a word of congratulation and of earnest hope for the success of your efforts. If there were only partisan issues involved in this paign, anything publicly in reference thereto But I do not feel that such is the case. On the contrary, I feel that all good citizens who have the welfare of America at heart should appreciate the immense amount that has been accomplished by the present Congress organized, as it is, of a national organization in power. With Mr. Cannon as Speaker, the House has accomplished a literally phenomenal amount of good work. It has shown a courage, good sense and patriotism such that it would be a real and serious misfortune for the country to fail to recognize. To change leadership and organization of the House, we must engage in fusion upon those who have been successfully engaged in the steady working out of a great and comprehensive scheme for the betterment of our social, industrial and circle conditions. Such a change would substitute a purposeless confusion, aolen and hurtful oscillation between the extreme reactionary and the extreme reactionary, for the present orderly progress along the lines of a carefully thought-out policy. "The interests of this Nation are as varied as they are vast. Congress must take account, not of one National need, but of many and widely different National needs; and I speak with historic accoumary when I say that not in our time has Congress been able to address different fields of endeavor as the present Congress has done. No Congress can do everything. Still less can it in one session meet every need. At its first session the present Congress, in addition to the many tasks it actually completed, undertook several tasks which I firmly believe it will bring to completion in the future. Congress will be able to those I hope and believe that the bills to prohibit political contributions by corporations, and to lower the duties on imports from the Philippine Islands each of which has been passed by one House, will be enforced into law. I hope, and I have reason to believe, that favorable action will be taken upon the limiting the number of hours of employment and one or two other measures, the enactment of which I have reason to hope for are important. But far more important are the measures which have actually been passed, and as to these measures, I wish to reiterate that they are not important in a merely partisan sense, but are important because they subserve the welfare of our people as a means of protection as an entitlement. They are important because they them into law the theory showed themselves to be fit representatives of all good Americans. Must Dig Canal "In affairs outside of our own country our great work has been beginning to dig the Panama Canal. The acquisition of the canal strip was due to the initiative of Congress; and the fact that the work therow is now being done in the most thorough and satisfactory fashion has been accomplished. The grass at the session just closed. Only this action rendered the work possible, and the heartiest acknowledgments are due to the farseeing patriotism of those who thus made it possible. The digging of the Panama Canal is the colossal engineering feat of all the ages. No task as great, of the kind, has ever been undertaken by any other nation. The interests handed together to oppose it have been most of them with a particularly sinister basis for their opposition. This sinister opposition rarely, indeed, ventures openly to announce its antagonism to the canal as such. Sometimes it takes the form of baseless accusation against the management and of a demand for an investigation under circumstances which would mean indefinite delay. Sometimes it takes the form of determined opposition to the adoption of plans which will enable work to be done not merely in the best, but in the quickest possible way. "Had Congress been either liquid or corrupt, and had not the leaders of Congress shown the most far-sighted resolution in the matter; the work of building the canal would never have been halted. The opposition to the adoption of the treaty by which our right to build the Panama Canal was secured; a part at least of the opposition now being made to the ratification of the Santo Domingo treaty, which is one more step in the process of building the waters through which the route of the canal leads; the constant effort to delay on one protest and another the actual work on the canal will prove how essential it is that if the American people desire the Panama Canal to be built, they should uphold the hands of those who in the present Congress have so effectively championed this work. "No less praiseworthy has been the attitude of this Congress in coexisting to build and maintain on a high plane of efficiency the United States Navy. This country is irreversibly committed to the maintenance of the Monroe Doctrine. It is irrevocably committed to the principle of defending and policing the canal route. But its championship of the Monroe Doctrine and its announcement of its intentions as to the canal route is not without risk if the nation failed to do its duty, maintaining a thoroughly efficient navy at high a point of perfection as can possibly be attained. Control of Corporations. Our external affairs are important, but our internal affairs are even more important, and no other Congress for many a long Year has, as regards the settlement of our internal affairs, so much and such excellent work to its credit. The tremendous social and industrial changes in our Nation have rendered evident the need of a larger exercise by the National Government of our nation with the respect of wealth and especially of corporate wealth, in interstate business. It is not too much to say that the course of Congress within the last few years and the hearty agreement between the executive and legislative departments of the Nation in taking the needed action, each within its own sphere, have resulted in the Nation for the first time definitely entering the duty of ensuring proper protection of duty in these matters. The task is peculiarly difficult, because it is one in which the fanatical or foolish extremists, and the reactionary, whether honest or dishonest, play into one another's hands, and they thereby render it especially hard to secure legislative and executive action which shall be thoroughgoing and effective, and yet which shall not needlessly seepad the business of the Nation, and though we do not all share it with as much equality as we are striving to secure. "It is a very easy thing to play the demagogue in this matter, to confine one's self merely to denouncing the evils of wealth, and to advocate, after in vague language, measures so sweeping that, while they would entirely fall to correct the evils aimed at, would undoubtedly succeed is bringing down the system and to oppose any effort to deal with it. It is also easy to play the part of the more obstructionist; to decline to recognize the great evils of the present system and to oppose any effort to deal with them in rational fashion—thereby strengthening immensely the hands of those who advocate extreme and foolish measures. But it is not easy to do as the present Congress and its immediate predecessors have done, either literally or self-inflicted, those who have profited by the present evils, and the wild clamor of those care less to do away with them than to make a reputation with the muthinking by standing in extreme opposition to them. But this is precisely what the present Congress has done. Instead of enacting ant- trust laws that were completely to defeat their own objects, it has given us an interstate commerce law which will enable us to exercise in through fashion a supervision over the common carriers of this country, so as, while scrupulously safeguarding their proper interests, to prevent them from charging excessive rates; to prevent their favoring one man at the expense of another, and especially to prevent them from weakening a weak man; and to require them to be fully accountable to the public for the service which to their own profit they render the public. "The previous Congress, by the enactment of the Elkins law and by the creation of the Department of Commerce and Labor, including the Bureau of Corporations, had enabled us to make great strides in advance along the path of thus under the supervision and regulation of the National Government; for in actual practice it has proved a sham and pretense to say that the several States can thus supervise and regulate it. The strides taken by the present Congress have been even longer in the right direction. The enactment of the pure food bill and the passage of the bill which rendered effective the contracting industries are really along the same general line as the passage of the interstate commerce law and are second only to it in importance. Not Fast, but Slow: "Perhaps the peculiar merit of these laws is best shown by the fact that while they have aroused the deepest anger of the reactionaries, of the men who make a fetish of wealth, they have not satisfied the unwise extremists; and the present Congress in achieving this merit has acted in the exact spirit of Abraham Lincoln, who was never to be frightened out of going forward by the enemy, but into the enemy's eye, yet to be harried into a precipitate advance by the demands of the crude thinking, though often well meaning, men who are not accustomed sohler to distinguish between phrase making and action. To the men who come in the latter category all we need say is to bid them possess their souls in peace. They have advocated action, but we have taken action; and the fact that this action has been sober and temperate has been so obvious that it is for reaching efficiency. To the former class to the reactionaries who seem to fear that to deal in proper fashion with the alms of property is somehow an attack upon property--we would recall the words of Edmund Burke: "If wealth is obedient and laborious in the service of virtue and public honor, then wealth is in its place and has its use. But if this order is changed and honor is to be sacrificed to the conservation of riches, richness which have provided us with nothing truly vital in them, cannot long legitimate matters **** If we command our wealth we shall be rich and free. If our wealth commands us are poor indeed." Rights of Wage Farmers. "In addition to thus dealing with the proper control of capitalization wealth, Congress has also taken important steps in securing to the wage workers certain rights, including the right to just chase an employer's liability law was enacted, which puts the National Government in its proper place as regards such legislation. An eight hour law was already on the statute books, but almost inevitable with such laws, there was a need to fusion as to whose duty it was among the different public officials to enforce It. This confusion has now jumped pumphard, and the law is in process of through enforcement. If this enforcement demonstrates the need of additional legislation, to make this eight hour law effective I shall ask for such legislation. I may add that next year I shall ask Congress to put in the permanent form of law the provision I have made by executive order for securing to the civil worker under the Government bldg. laws, that is, the laws that as popular holidays are now covered by law for the unaltered clerical workers in the classified service. "No Congress has ever more clearly shown its practical appreciation of the fact that the welfare of the wage workers and the welfare of the tillers of the soil make the real basis of the welfare of the labor force, and do everything that can be done to further the interests of the farmer, and the wage worker; and this declaration is subject only to one reservation—which is, that for no man, and no body of men, will do anything that is wrong, every man, and every man, and to treat such as by his own actions he shows that he deserves to be treated. We favor the organization of labor, as we favor the organization of capital; but on condition that organised labor and organized capital alike act in the spirit of justice in the law, and when such are both the letter and the spirit of the law. We heartily favor trade unions, and we recognize in them, as in corporations, when properly conducted, indispensable instruments in the economic life of the present day; but where either type of organisation is guilty of abuse we do not want to allow the criminal power of the Government to deal with such abuse. We are anxious to help, alike by law, and by executive action, so far as in our power lies, every honest man, every right dealing labor union, and, for the matter of that, every right dealing corporation. But, as a corollary to this, we intend fearlessly and resolute action against the law and to遏止 it, so that we can put down wrong, whether done by rich or poor, if done by the most powerful corporation or the most influential labor union, just as much as if done by the humble and least influential individual in the land. The fact that we heartily recognise an organisation 'or a kind of organisation which we want to action to control it or to prevent its committing abuses when it uses in wrong fashion the power which organization confers. The Reverse Laws Elastic "The enactment into law of the bill rehousing the tax on alcohol used in the arts will ultimately be of marked benefit to us in more ways than one. It shows likewise the entire willingness of those responsible for the handling of the present Congress to alter our revenue system, whether derived by taxation on imports or internal taxation, whenever it is necessary so to do. The Taris. "We stand unequivocally for a protective tariff, and we feel that the phenomenal industrial prosperity which we are now enjoying is not lightly to be jeopardized; for it would be to the last degree foolish to allow a small benefit in the cost of general business depression. But whenever a given rate of schedule becomes evidently disadvantageous to the nation, because of the changes which go on from year to year in our conditions, and where it is feasible to change this rate or schedule, we should be able to do the system, it will be done, while it general revision of the rates and schedules will be undertaken whenever it shall appear to the softer business sense of our people that on the whole the benefits to be derived from making such changes will be less than the disadvantages; that is, when the revision will do more than harm. "Let me add one word of caution, however. The question of revising the tariff stands wholly apart from the question of dealing with the so-called trusts—that is, with the control of monopolies in business, especially corporate form. The only way in which it is possible to deal with those trusts and monopolies and this, great corporate wealth is by action along the lines of the laws enacted by the present Congress and its immediate predecessors. The cry that the problem can be met is that the laws cannot be whether consciously or unconscionantly, an effort to divert public attention from the only method of taking effective action. Intelligent Legislation "I shall not pretend to enumerate all the good measures of loss importance which the present Congress has enacted into law, although some of these measures, as, for instance, the conular bill and the naturalization bill, are of wide reaching effect. I have said enough to show why in my judgment you and I will be entitled to the good wishes of all those who defend the beliefs who believe that there are real evils in our industrial and economic system and that these evils can be effectively grappled with not by loose declaration, but by resolve and intelligent legislation and executive action. Sincerely yours, "THEODORE ROOSEVELT." "Hon. James E. Watson, M. C., Rushville, Ind." DISFRANCHISED LEADERS DuBois and Hernaw Have Shirked Their Poll Tax. From The Atlanta Independent. Those who believe in the full enjoyment of civil and political rights are invited to attend the NigraKa Movement at Harper's Ferry. If what a man practices is any evidence of what he stands for among his neighbors, or what he believes in, we think the very invitation excludes both Professor DuBois and Fate Hershaw from participation in the conference. Neither of these men believes in or practices the full enjoyment of political rights. Neither of them registers or votes anywhere in the United States. They bring prescript of each of these leaders (2). Fulton County disclose the fact that both are defendants and have not the right to vote. Both of them are practically disfranchised under the laws of their State and are citizens.

THE SHOT By ALEXANDER SERGEIEVITCH PUSHKIN SLAVE'S DAUGHTER IS WORTH MILLIONS (Continued) "You are not hindering me in the house," replied he. "Have the goodness to do, or just as you please—the shot remains years; I shall always be ready at your request to the second, informing them that I had no intention of firing that day, and with that the deal came to an end. "I resigned my commission and retired to this little place. Since then, not a day has passed that I have not been married. And now my hour has arrived." Silvio took from his pocket the letter that he had received that morning, and gave it to me to read. Someone (it seemed to be his business agent) wrote to him from Moscow, that a coworker had married to a young and beautiful girl. "You can guess," said Silvio, "who the certain person is. I am going to Moscow. We shall see if he will look death in the face with as much indifference now, when he is on the verge of marriage, as he did once with his brother." With these words, Silvio rose, throw his cap upon the floor, and began pacing up and down the room like a tiger in his cage. I had listened to him in silence; strange conflicting feelings agitated me. The servant entered and announced that the horses were ready. Silvio gramped my hand tightly, and braced each other over himself to keep them in which lay two trunks, one containing his pistols, the other his effects. We said good-bye once more, and the horses galloped off. CHAPTER II. Several years passed, and family circumstances compelled me to settle in the poor little village of M—— Occupied with agricultural pursuits, I ceased not to sigh in secret for my mother. The most difficult thing of all was having to accustom myself to pacing the spring and winter evenings in perfect solitude. Until the hour of dinner I managed to pass away the time somehow or other, talking with the bellfair riding to look at the new buildings; but as soon as it began to get dark, I positively did not know what to with myself. The few books that I had found in the cupboards and storerooms, I already knew by heart. All the stories that my housekeeper kept over and over again. The songs of the peasant women made me feel depressed. I tried drinking spirits, but it made my head ache; and moreover, I confess I was afraid of becoming a drunkard from more chagrin, that the addict kind of which I had seen many grammars in our district. I had no near neighbors, except two or three toppers, whose conversation consisted for the most part of hiccups and sighs. Solitude was preferable to their society, and they were as likely as possible, and to dine as late as possible; in this way I shortened the evening and lengthened out the day, and I found that the plan answered very well. Our visits from my house was a rich estate budging to the Countess B — but nobody saw them except the steward. The Countess had only visited her estate once, in the first year of her married life, and then she had remained there for the second spring of my hermitical life, a report was circulated that the Count- The boundary lines which separate the lands of the Creek, Cherokee and Orange Indians converge to a point in the north central part of the new State of Oklahoma. A few miles south of this point, in the Creek Nation, lives a little Afro-American girl named Isabel Lewin, the daughter of an Afro-American girl. This little woman owns 80 acres of land, part of her allotment, in the now "Glen Pool" oil district, which is giving her an income such as only millionaires can have. There are three oil wells on her land, each of which is producing 1,000 barrels of oil per day, and each of which is capable of having its daily capacity doubled. The company that has leased her land to put down seven more wells. If they each produce as much as those already drilled, and there is no reason to doubt it, her royalty of one-eighth of the entire amount produced at 52 cents per barrel, the present market price of oil, will give her a daily income of $500 or an annual income of $1,000 per event that amount would be to the interest on a capital of nearly $50,000. Under the lioness which Isabel Lewis has granted to the operators who have leased her land, and which was approved by the Secretary of the Interior, the oil which is her daily share is turned into the pipe line of the Standard Oil Company and the money it represents is at once deposited to Joseph Morrison, another little Afro-American girl, 12 years of age, the daughter of a Creek freeman, has an allotment of 160 acres in the oil-producing district, surrounded on all sides by flowing wells. The Morrison girl has her tract leased on a royalty of one-eighth of all oil produced. The lessons of this trait must be drilled at least wells as fast as the oil can be taken care of by the Standard Oil people. The mother of the lioness, as well as the mother of the Leviathan girl, has been appointed guardian of his daughter. Their guardianship, however, is only nominal, for the reason that every act of the guardian must be approved by Secretary Hitchock. This scrutiny of town, with her husband, was coming to spend the summer on her estate. The report turned out to be true, for they arrived at the beginning of June. This event is an important event in the lives of country people. The landed proprietors and the people of their household talk about for two months beforehand, and for three years afterwards. As for me, I must be a young and beautiful neighbor affected me strongly. I burned with impatience to see her, and the first Sunday after her arrival I set out after dinner for the village of A. — to pay my respects to the Countess and her husband, as their nearest neighbor and most humble servant. A lackey conducted me into the Count's study, and then went to announce me. The spacious apartment was furnished with every possible luxury. Around the walls were cases filled with books and surmounted by bronze busts; over the marble mantelpiece was a large mirror, with carpets. Unaccustomed to luxury in my own poor corner, and not having seen the wealth of other people for a long time, I awaited the appearance of the Count with some little trepidation, na a suppliant from the province awaits the arrival of the minister. The door opened, and handsome-looking man of their two feet, sat in the room. The Count approuved me with a frank and friendly air: I enveloped to be self-poseided and began to introduce myself, but he anticipated me. We sat down. His conversation, which was easy and agreeable, soon dismissed my awkward beatenfulness; and I was already sure, when the Counts suddenly entered, and I became more confused than ever. She was indoed beautiful. The Count presented me. I wished to appear at ease, but the more I tried to assume an air of uncontraint, the more awkward I felt. They in order to give me time to recover myself, and become accustomed to my acquaintance, I took to each other, treating me as a good neighbor, and without ceremony. Meanwhile, I waited about the room, examining the books and pictures. I am no judge of pictures, but one of them attracted my attention. It represented some view in Switzerland, but it was not the painting that struck me, but the city itself. Through by two bulles, one planted just above the other. "A good shot, that!" said I, turning to the Count. "Yes," replied he, "a very remarkable shot. Do you shoot well?" he continued. "Totally," replied I, rejoicing that the conversation had turned I upon a question that was familiar to me. At thirty hours I can manage to hit a card without fail.—I mean, of course, with a pistol that I am used to." "Really?" said the Countess, with a look of the greatest interest. "And you, my dear, could you hit a card at thirty paces? Some day," replied the Count, "we will try. In my time I did not shoot badly, but it is now four years since I touched a pistol." "Oh! I" observed, "in that case, I don't mind laying a wager that Your Excellency will not hit the card at twenty paces; the pistol demands practice every day. I know that from experience, in our regiment, the host shots. It once happened that I did not touch a pistol for a whole accounts, particularly in the expenditure of money, by the United States Secretary of the Interior cannot help but result in making both the Morrison and Lewis girls very wealthy when they arrive at legal age. Like the miner who has found a pocket of gold, the bosses of the oil land in "Glenn Pool" have distrusted evidently know that they want to retain all it to themselves. There is hardly a man living in the towns immediately surrounding "Glenn Pool" that has any knowledge of it at all. Even the local newspapers have not found it out, or, if they have, have made no mention of the extent and value of the field which is certainly not charming to the newspaper, who consider the most trifling incident an important piece of news of the day. Newspaper men are certainly not wanted. All sorts of obstacles are placed in their way, and every effort is made to prevent them from obtaining an idea of the district. Owners will tell you that the production of the pool is overstated, and the word mentioning, besides it would be every difficult to reach the district, because the roads are almost impossible. The oil district known as the "Glenn Pool" is without doubt the greatest find of high-grade oil ever discovered in Indian Territory and one of the best in the world. The first well in the district was put down by two prospectors, who, at the time they struck oil, which was near the end of last November, were at that moment walking out of town without carrying any provision except that which had been stored during their last meal. There have been 17 wells drilled in the district. Two of these were gas producers, these are dry and 42 are production wells. One of these was grade oil per day. This, too, with the wells drilled only to the top of the principal oil sand, which the first drilling showed to be about 100 feet thick. Of these, 100 were drilled in the last three or four weeks. mouth so I had not mine to be mended, and would you believe it, Your Kindle- ly, the first time I began to shoot again. I mould a bottle four times in succession at twenty paces! Our captain, a witty and amusing fellow, happened to be standing by, and he said to me: "It is evident, my friend, that your hand will not lift itself over the bet- tle." No, Your Kindleily, you must not neglect to practice, or your hand will noon lee its canning. The best shot that I over not used to shoot at last, was to throw it in a much smaller much his custom to do this, as it was to drink his daily glass of brandy." The Count, and Countess mamed The Count and. Countess seemed pleased that I had begun to talk. "And what sort of a shot was he?" asked the Count. "Well, it was this way with him, Your Excellency: if he gave a fly settle on the wall--you smell, Countenna, but, before Heaven, it is the truth. If he saw a fly, he would call out: "Kouma, my pistol! Kouma would bring him a loaded pistol and the fly would be crushed against the wall." "Wonderful!" said the Count. "And what was his name?" "Silvio, Your Excellency." "Silvio!" exclaimed the Count, starting up. "Did you know Silvio?" How could I help knowing him. Your Excellency was in touch with him, he received a compliment like a brother officer, but it is now five years since I had any details of him. Then Your Excellency also knew him? "Oh yes, I knew him very well. Did he ever tell you of one very strange incident in his life?" "Does Your Excellency refer to the slap in the face that he received from someone in a villainy?" "Did he tell you the name of this blackguard?" "No, Your Excellency, he never mentioned his name. . . Ahl Your Excellency!" I continued, guessing the word: "pardon me. . . I did not know. . . could it really have been you?" "Yes, I myself," replied the Count with a look of extraordinary agitation, "and that bullet-pierced picture is a memoir of our last meeting." "Ah my dear," said the Countess, "but your sake, do not speak about that; it would be too terrible for me to listen to." "No," replied the Count: "I will relate everything. He known how I insulted his friend, and it is only right that he should know how Slivio, revenged him." The Count pushed a chair towards me, and with the liveliest interest I listened to the following story: "Five year ago I got married. The first month—the honeymoon—I spent here, in this village. To this house I am asked for the happiest moments in my life for one of its most painful recollection. "One evening we went out together for a ride on horseback. My wife's horse became restive; she grew frightened, gave the reins to me, and returned home on foot. I rode on before. In the courtyard I saw a traveling carriage, and I was told that in my study sat waiting for me a man, who would sit there, and take care of the business with me. I entered the room and saw in the darkness a man, covered with dust and wearing a beard of several days' growth. He was standing there, near the fireplace. I approached him, trying to remember his features. "You do not recognize me, Count?" said he, in a quivering voice. "Ninirie!" I cried, and I confess that I felt as if my hair had suddenly stood on end. "Exactly!' continued he. 'There is a shot due to me, and I have come to discharge my pistol. Are you ready?' His pistol protruded from a side pocket, and I took the knife to took my stand there in that corner, begging him to fire quickly, before my wife arrived. He hesitated, and asked for a light. Candles were brought in. I closed the doors, gave order that nobody was to enter, and again begged him to fire. He drew out his pistol and took aim. confined the second thought of you to the very minute hand passed! Sliro lowered his hand. and all, with the exception of one or two in the last two or three months. The drill of one well, which had reached the subterranean lake of oil the night before the writer arrived, must have spouted up to a great height before it could be controlled, for the driller, was thought entirely surrounded the wickle, was thought entirely surrounded the oil, while every hole in the ground was filled and every leaf and weed was dripping with the fluid, the sale and control of which has created the richest man in world. The Standard Oil Company has a pipe filled with small capacity already extended to the depth of the well, able to carry off the daily production. In consequence of which the producers are building tankage as fast as labor and lumber can be procured to build them. The Standard is now building into the field a pipe line with a capacity greater than ever before laid down to a new depth. The individual producers seem to be boltttling the volume of their production. The land in and around "Glen Pool" is owned by Creek Indians and their former slaves, who could not lease the land until it had been approved by the Secretary since 1865. They have since been obtained and approved by the Secretary since discovery of oil is evidenced by the activity of the operators in the field within the last few weeks. The most fortunate of all the owners of land in this soil district are Mrs. K.J. Glenn and her daughters, Gracie and Maud, each of whom has 160 acres in the very heart of the district. Oil was first discovered on Mrs. Glenn's tract. It contains to-day several flowing wells which produce an amount of oil sufficient to supply the entire town's income of $220, or an annual income of over $100,000. Her income, enormous as it is, will, of course be rapidly increased as wells are drilled on her land. There is not a shadow of doubt that the allotments of her two daughters will be sufficient and that the annual income of the threeside of a year, will exceed $200,000. "I regret, said he, what the pin is not landed with charcoal stones. The bullet is heavy. It comes tame that this is not a deal, but a murder. I am not accustomed to taking aim at armed men. Let us begin all over again; will it cost less to who shall fire first." "My head went round. . . . I think I raised some objection. . . . At last we loaded another pistol, and relied up two pieces of paper. He placed these latter in his cap—the same through which I had once sent a bullet—and again I drew out my machine. We devilled my Count; and be, with a smile that I shall never forget. "I don't know what was the matter with me, or how it was that he managed to make me do it. . . . but I fired and hit that picture." The Count pointed with his finger to the perforated picture; his face glowed like fire. He drew his own handchief; and I could not reintrain an exclamation. "I fled," continued the Count, "and, thank, 'Heaven, missed my aim. Then Silvio . . . at that moment he was really terrible. . . . Silvio raised his hand to take aim at me. Suddenly the door opens, Masha rushes into the room, and then she throws herself upon my neck. Her presence restored to me all my courage. "My dear," said I to her, "don't you see that we are joking? How frightened you are! Go and drink a water of water and then come back to us: I will introduce you to an old friend and comrade. "Masha still did sobble. "Tell me, is my husband speaking the truth and she, turning to the terrible Silvio; 'is it true that you are only joking?" "He is always joking. Countes,' replied Silvio: 'once he gave me a slap in the face in a joke; on another occasion he sent a bullet through my cap in a joke; and now just, when he fired at me and missed me it was all in a joke. And now I feel inclined for a joke." "And I will take aim at me—right before her! Masha throw herself at his feet." "Ripe, Mshana: are you not ashamed!" I cried in a rage: "and you, sir, will you cease to make fun of a poor woman? Will you fire or not?" I will cease to make fun of a poor woman! Will you fire or not? I commanded Silivio: "I am satisfied, I have seen your confusion, your alarm, I forced you to fire at me. That is sufficient. You will remember me. I leave you to your conscience." "Then he turned to go, but pausing in the doorway, and looking at the picture he made, he pressed himself, he fired it almost without taking it, and disappeared. My wife had fainted away; the servants did not venture to stop him, the more look of him filled them with terror. He went out upon the steps, called his conchman, and drove off before I could recover myself." this way I learned the end of the story, whose beginning had once made such a deep impression upon me. The hero of it I never saw again. It is said that Silivio commanded a detachment of Heterinids during the revolt under Alexander Ippon, who was killed in the battle of Skrolana. "I was calmly enjoying my reputation, when a young man belonging to a wealthy and distinguished family—I will not mention his name—joined our regiment. Never in my life have I met with such a fortunate fellow! Imagine to yourself youth, wit, beauty, unbounded grace, the most reckless bravery, a famous name, you can form some of the effect that he would be sure to produce among us. My supremacy was shaken. Dazzled by my reputation, he began to seek my friendship, but I received him coldly, and without the last regret he held aloft from me. I took a hatred to him. His success in the regiment and in the society of ladies brought me to the verge of despair. I began to seek a quarrel with him, and with epigramms which always seemed to me more spontaneous and more cutting than mine, and which he decidedly more amusing, for he joked while I famed. At last, at a ball given by a Polish landed proprietor, seeing him the object of attention of all the ladies, and especially of the mistress of the house, with whom I was upon very good terms, whispered some grossly insulting rumors about me a ship in the face. We grasped our swords; the indies faltered; we were separated; and that same night we set out to fight. "The dawn was just breaking. I was standing at the appointed place with my three seconds. With inexplicable impatience I awaited my opponent. The spring sun rose, and it was already growing hot. I saw him, coming in the door, and I was compelled to accompany him one second. We advanced to meet him. He approached, holding his cap filled with black cherries. The seconds measured twelve paces for me. I had to fire first, but my agitation was so great, that I could not depend upon the readiness of my hand; and in order to cope with the self-fire of the coded to him the first shot. My adversary would not agree to this. It was decided that we should cast lots. The first number fell to him, the constant favorite of fortune. He took aim, and his bullet went through my cap. It hit me, and I was compelled to my hands: I looked at him eagerly, endeavoring to detect if only the faintest shadow of unnessiness. But he stood in front of my pistol, picking out the ripest cherries from his cap and spitting out the stones, which flew almost as far as my feet. His indifference annoyed me the next day. I thought I. of depriving him of life, when he attaches no value whatever to it? A multicolored thought finished through my mind. I lowered my pistol. "You don't seem to be ready for death just at present." I said to him: 'you wish to have your breakfast; I do not wish to hinder you.' THE END. Drawn in Sight of Mother and Father PHILADELPHIA, August 21. — In sight of his father and mother and two older brothers Edmond Bunting, a three-general old African American boy, of 324 Irving old, fell from the gang-plank of a schoenate at the warfare, Schunkkill River, Sunday after armed, Schunkkill downed. The child, father and two brothers had boarded the schoenate, where they were visiting a relative, while the mother followed, leading the boy. Suddenly the child missed his floating and fell headlong into the river. Sailors dived for the body, but they did not recover it in time to prevent death. Kentucky Institution's Success After Hard Years POPULAR WITH WHITES Extraordinary Praise from "The Glenn's Graphic"—Bishop Clinton the Founder son Literary and Industrial College, attested about, one mile from the public square of this city, and conducted by the A. M. E. Zion connection, comes under the calcium this summer by reason of the exceptionally good results it has wrought during the current year. Despite unusual difficulties, the enrollment of the course was 108,000 and the course has been reliably followed by ambitious and energetic young men and women of the race. The fourteenth annual commencement, held at the A. M. B. Zion church, was an eye-opener to the people of the vicinity, for as great as had been their confidence in the school, they were scarcely prepared to see such a magnificent showing on the part of graduates, either in point of academic achievement or in the audience which witnessed the exercise was a large one, filling the church to overflowing, many of the spectators being white people of the best type known to Central and Western Kentucky. The graduates were as follows: Leenle W. Collins of Ironon, O.; Clifford Morton, Lucy C. Slaton, Ida McMary and Floy I. Grace, Madisonville; and Erin B. Speaker, Madisonville, each speaker-graduate acquired himself a great credit is attested by the appended comment of Glenn's Graphic, the leading Caucasian, Journal of Hopkins county, edited by Prof. J. J. Glenn, for several years superintendent of education for the county, and known far and wide as one of Kentucky's foremost citizens. He is a man of high character, fine at work and is an influential paper devoted to the interest of the people, regardless of race, color, creed or condition. The Graphic said of the commencement: "We regret that there were not twitter as many white people as there were at A.M. E. Zion church Wednesday night to wilt among the black people and the Negroes of the Mennonite College, the school for the higher education of the colored people. We mean every word we say, when we say that we are interested in commencements than this. At kinson College was established here fourteen years ago. It has come up through great trials and in now a very well-established school, much in the way of affording an education to the colored people. The six graduates had orations that were so well prepared to most of the white people who were there. At least two of the orations were a long way above the average of the ordinary school commencement essay, while the other two were much less elaborated the heartiest applause of the audience. These exercises spoke well for Dr. W. E. Shaw, the nible principal, Prof. S. F. E. Stuart, the first professor, and the situation. These graduates showed that they had been trained by master minds. We are more than pleased with the progress the colored people have made in a long period of time, and the result will be benefited for the better the Negro is educated. The better man or woman he can make of his own people, and the result will be benefited for the better the Negro is educated. It is a very important factor in making the colored people of the town a better and more respectable race. The Negroes of the church are being graduated for the interest they are taking in their churches and their schools." Atkinson Literary and Industrial College is an institution for Christian education, and is named in honor of Mr. J. B. Atkinson, the philanthropic president of the St. Bernard Coal and Mining Company, which has immense holdings in the vicinity, and adds very many to the wealth and influence of this section in Kirkwood. The college gives employment to a large number of colored men, and their children find at Atkinson College just the opportunity they need to make them able to earn a comfortable livelihood and to take their places as capable and industrious citizens. The founder, chief patron and president of the school at Bishop George of Zion's very ablest, most energetic and most scholarly prelates. He is pardonably proud of what has been accomplished in the fourteen years of the school's existence, and is enthusiastic over its vast possibilities as an agency for the uplift of the race. In addition to his exacting church work, covering a vast area of the city, he has supervised and raised money to help secure the valuable property here, and has personally exerted himself to aid in paying the teachers their salaries, oftimes advancing the money from his own pocket when the educational fund was not adequate to meet the demands upon it. The local management of the school is under the supervision of Prof. W. B. Shaw, principal and Prof. Sylvester F. Collins, assistant and secretary; two strong factors in educational work, reinforced by a competent faculty and a general board of trustees, made up of public-spirited ministers and laymen of the connection. It is not too much to say that events are shaping them, and that Atkinson will be well-behaved in the popular mind as second only to Livingstone among the intellectual institutions fostered by the Zion fold. Bishop Clinton, discussing the situation, said to your correspondent a few days ago: "Industrial schools are as greatly needed for the proper development of our Negro youth as they are for our further South for in proportion as we all become equipped to perform satisfactorily the work that the world wants done, we shall find the door of opportunity widening for the employment of our skill in every section of the country. The school year is now over, and we need to the blessings that are being offered by the many educational, institutions throughout the land, and we no longer need to be told to promote for the manifold duties of life the Negro youth, like the whites, requires every species of man to be educated and professional.

NEW ALBANY, Ind., August 18—Dr. William Octah Vince, the best-known Afro-American physician in this section of the State and a prominent factor in the business circle of the community, died to day shortly before noon, after an illness of a very brief duration. His death, which was wholly unexpected and a shock to his many friends, was due to a complication of diseases. He had been a resident of New Albany for twenty-five years, occupying the Dr. Burney homestead. He was about fifty-five years of age. Dr. Vance was a native of Kookuk, Iowa, and was graduated from the high school of that city, after which he took special courses in classical branches at the University of Michigan. He came to New Albany in 1851 to assume the principalship of Servonberg high school, which position he filled most satisfactorily until a few months ago, when he abandoned the schoolroom to devote himself to the practice of medicine and to look after his health. He was one of the largest property owners among the Afro-American people of New Albany, having by careful investments amassed a fortune estimated at not less than $20,000. In 1888 Dr. Vance was graduated from the Louisville National Medical College. In 1895 he won a diploma from the Illinois Medical College, and a year later took post-graduate work at the Chicago Poly-Clinic Institute. He was one of the three founders of the Illinois National Medical College, and was at the time of his death a professor therein and a board of directors. He was a member of the Knights of Pythia, United Brothers of Friendship and the Good Samaritan. A short time ago he was the active incorporator and promoter of a fraternal insurance society known as "The Cave-dwellers' Life Association," which institution had a promising future. The death of Mr. Della S. Vance, his wife, who was assistant principal of Scribner high school for twelve years, occurred less than a year ago. Dr. Vance, who in conjunction with the several secret orders will have charge of the funeral arrangements. The deceased was a wonderfully active man, and in all his dealings was scrupulously honest and conscientious, and in every relation of life was well-liked and in good standing with all of his friends, business associates, graduates of Scribner high school and the medical profession generally, mourn the loss of a most valuable member of the community which he adorned and invigorated with his genial personality for a quarter of a century.

CHICAGO, August 10—The Knights of Pythia, the True Reformers, and the Ancient Order of Foresters of this city are each planning for the erection of a large hall building for the accommodation of their increasing business and membership. The American people are making up to the fact that their spending thousands of dollars each year for the rental of halls that are inadequate for their work and purpose. This new venture is a fair index of the growing spirit of enterprise among our people. MANHATTAN AND BRONX Union A. M. B. church, Rev. J.

The operai- entertainment and concert given by the orchestra of the Carlton avenue branch of the Younf Men's Christian Association at the building, 405 Carlton avenue, Friday night, 17th inst., was attended by a large gathering of members of the Younf Men's Christian Association. W. Margle Felton, member of her committee and other ladies were present and helped to look after minor details of the refreshment committee. Upon the lawn, while Mennar. M. B. Russoil, W. J. Mom, Eurene Henderson, William Washington and Secretary Hamilton, was presided over by Prof. P. Albert Myers; the orchestra led by Prof. F. K. Pine, gave several choice selections and Prof. C. F. Graves, principal of the Roanoke Institute at Elizabeth City, North Carolina made a stirring address in which he set forth the aims and needs of the branch and making illustration and conditions here among us and those in the South. Prof. GGraves is an earnest, self-scriffing young man of quite engraving manners; his address was logical and convincing. The orchestra is the most popular organization of the association, and through it the influence of the branch is felt. The branch is in the city. It was while in conversation with ex-Secretary Charles H. Bullock one evening soon after the formation of the association in the present building, that the idea of such a musical club for the branch, dawned upon Mr. William Washington to Bullock following out the idea of Mr. Wellington, next meeting invited all the men who were musically inclined and those who had such instruments as the violin, cornet, trombone, life and such like to bring into the building on a certain night; be result of, that conference was the translation of the now famous the Carlton avenue branch of the Young Men's Christian Association of little well-trained men. Mr. Highland Wilson now of Zion City, was the first leader and director; he was succeeded by Prof. F. K. Pine, who is a graduate of the Royal Conservatory of Leipzig, Germany. He is instaking and thorough in his work and coaches his men over many classical pieces with comparative ease. The first great hit the orchestra made was in November of last year when they played for the New York Equitable Life Insurance Company at a banquet held at Cafe Martin, Broadway and 20th Street, Manhattan. From that time on engagements were easily secured where people were able to pay. They have played in all of the principal Afro-American churches of this borough, their services being always gratiate. Out of town engagements have been in Englewood, N. J., Orange, Jersey City, Newark Red Bank and Flushing, N. Y. "That it never rains but what is pours" is an old proverb often made manifest. That is just what happened at the Carleton avenue branch. Young Men's Christian Association, in partnership with our clock meeting. The most brilliant array of professional men that have assembled at any Sunday afternoon meeting were in attendance: Among them were Prof. C. F. Graves, principal of Roanoke Inf. School; Prof. A. E. Meyczek, district superintendent of public schools at Louisville, Ky., and chairman of the Colored Men's Branch of the Y. M. C. A. in that city, of which ex-Secretary C. H. Bullock is the efficient secretary; Prof. Charles C. H. Bullock is the chief who preceded; D. Macon Webster, attorney-at-law, and the Rev. O. M. Benfield of Jamaica British West Indies. Prof. Graves was the first speaker. His remarks were based upon the parable of the Prodigal Son, Luke the Lost Shepherd, the Mare, and Reunethroned. The address made a favorable impression upon the large number of men present and furnished food for thought for the speakers who followed. Prof. Meyczek followed Mr. Graves and Prof. oke, entertainingly upon a table, the Race Probable which he made, and those of the things that hinder and those which help in the great work of race uplift. Perhaps the most interesting part of Prof. Meyzeek's speech was the cliting of the struggles and final triumph of the establishment of the Colored Men's Branch of the Young Men's Christian Association, and time they were looking for a secretary to take the work in hand, the membership had dwindled down to two members and he stood alone one the committee of management—that the white board of managers were loathe hear their petition and the situation is extremely aggravating; but finally succeeded in having him showed those white Christians how inconsistent it was for them to spend $300,000 upon themselves and not one cent upon the black Christians; when he got through with them they agreed to take three-fourths of a $10,000 option which the colored people were magnificent piece of property worth $600,000 a child, a gentleman offered to well a child, saying that he would give it all to them, but that would not leave them anything to do. This proposition being clinched, Secretary Bullock took the field in a sweeping for subscriptions and within a short time the exploded people had met their proffer of the contract and in position of one of the finest, Y. M. C. A. buildings (when furnished) for Afro-Americans in the United States. The next speaker was the Rev. O. M. Bendel, who commenced to speak in a humorous vein, saying that "he feared too much desert after so much good, solid food would not be good for the men—would give them indication, and indication would prevent them from this being on sudden death." The audience of the visiting speakers was Counsellor D. Macon Webster, who after saying that the outlook for the association was hopeful, said "that in his opinion a man by the Carlton avenue branch got strong enough the men ought to make a demand on the Central association for admission. This was the tosin for an admission. This was by N. Barnett Dodson, who rose primarily to receive greetings of Secretary Bullock through Prof. Beyseck—he wrought the boys up to a high pitch of enthusiasm and before he sat down he challenged debate upon the public platform on the merits of the case. The motion was seconded by the presiding judge of Carlton Avenue to be conveyed back to Secretary Bullock and the Louisville branch. Mr. F. H. Gilbert also spoke and but for the expiration of the time, an oratorical contest would have ensued. It was a great meeting. Mrs. Charles A. Moore and children of Lexington avenue, are visiting relatives in Stamford and South Norwalk, Conn. Prof. and Mrs. Charles A. Dorsey will leave the city this week for Saratoga. Mrs. Charles Burr and Mr. Frank Snarrows, of Gold street, spent Saturday and Sunday at Easton, Pa., the guests of Mrs. James Hogan. Owing to the absence of the battery of the West Side Y. M. C. A. team at camp, they did not care to play a game with a strange battery. As the canceling of the game left the Carlton avenue no one without a game to play, the second team took their hand full to defit it. Captain Matthews of the first team had to use three pitchers to keep from being defeated, and Secretary Hamlin, who played right field for the second team, took an kindly to one curve as another. He managed to get a bit off and hit the ball under it before it reached the ground. Potter, who pitched the last two innings for the second team, pitched only 21 balls, striking six men and allowing one hit. The playing of Powell at third base, and McKnight at second, was somewhat off-color in the fourth inning, and the second team was four. The second tam hopes to be able to play the first team again before the season closes. The Independent Order of St. Luke has gained considerable headway in Brooklyn within the past two years. As a secret order, the St. Luke is among the oldest of them, but their influence and work in this section have been almost at a standstill for years; and it was not until a year ago that the establishment of the St. Luke Penny Savings a Bnk in Richmond, Va., in November, 1908, that the old Northern wing of the order began to show signs of new life. Mrs. Maggie L. Walker who is credited with being the only Afro-American female president of a bank, has been the prime mover in this new order of things.

Connor, the efficient proprietor of the Royal Cafe, 17th Myrtle avenue, Brooklyn, is well known, is highly respected and has the confidence of the people in the community. He is a successful business man. Mr. Connor was born in the Old Dominion State thirty-two years ago, and is now in the prime and vigor of manhood. He was educated in the public schools in the State of his birth, and shortly after reaching the proper age he enlisted in the U. S. Navy. He worked hard and earnestly for promotion and was soon promoted to the grade of ward-room steward. Mr. Connor served with credit until the end of the Spanish-American War. While in the service of his country he showed splendid abilities and acumen in handling the various duties pertaining to such an important and worthy JOHN W. CONNOR office on a man-of-war, which requires executive ability, alertness, quickness and last but not least diplomacy. After being honorably discharged from the naval service he established the Royal Cafe. It can be said without braggingdocio that the cafe is the finest Afro-American cafe, in Brooklyn. Only a few white cafes can surpass it in beauty or in urt-to-date service. About three years ago a serious fire started on the second floor of the cafe and destroyed something like $2,500 worth of foreign brie-brace and beautiful pictures of funny years' collection. Notwithstanding, the serious loss, Mr. Connor resumed business again after a few months. During that time he remodeled the entire building. H. has acquired considerable means, and, by his persistent efforts and strict business principles, made a rating in the business district that speaks volumes for his integrity. He is ex-treasurer of Brooklyn Lodge. No. 32, of Elka, a prominent member of the Spanish-American War Veterans a progressive member of Hiram Lodge. No. 23. F. and A. M., owner of the Royal Giants baseball team and an active member of the H. H. Garnett Republican club. Delegates will find a welcome at the cafe at all hours of the day and evening. Mr. Connor's success is an inspiration to others. ROCKEPELLER TO HELP BUILD SOUTH AFRICAN RAILROAD London Hears American Crocuses Will Invade Dark Continent. LONDON, August 10—The Times this morning says it learns from a reliable source that John D. Rockefeller has furnished funds for railroad developments in Tanganyika. Africa. This led to the recent rise in Tanganyika shares and Rhodnius generally. In its financial article The Times says the development of the Tanganyika company's potential resources have been checked by the difficulty of raising capital for the completion of the railroad communication. Although no official announcement has been made, it is believed that the difficulty has been overcome. The investment of American capital in South Africa, which already has benefited so much from American engineering skill, is naturally an event of some importance. An applicant was undergoing a civil service examination. With a view to testing his knowledge of history, the examining officer asked him what he knew of the Punic War. "The name sounds familiar," said the applicant, "but I can't just remember when it was or where it happened." "Don't know anything about Helo," no one knew, beard or board about Hannelal. "Oh yes, I know all about Hannelal." That's where Mark Twain used to live." Youth's Companion.

Transportation Agent Cyrus Field Adams issues the following statement regarding travel to the Business League: The railroads of the United States have granted a rate of a fare and a third, plus 25 cents on the certificate plan, for the round trip from all points as far West as Cheyenne, Wy., and all points in Colorado to the seventh annual session of the National Negro Business League at Atlanta, Ga., August 29, 30 and 31, 1900. Delegates paying full tariff fare going to Atlanta, and who hold certificates of the standard form properly executed and stamped by the agents at the starting points, will be sold tickets for the return journey under the rules and regulations of the first-class limited with at least-third of the first-class limited with at least-five cents, via the routes traveled inoline Atlanta, as specified on the certificates. Each delegate desiring to avail himself of the reduced rate must purchase a first-class ticket (either limited or unlimited) to Atlanta at the regular tariff rate, and at the same time procure from the ticket agent a certificate of the standard form properly executed and stamped by said agent. If a through ticket cannot be procured at starting point, the delegate should purchase to the most convenient point at which such ticket can be obtained and there repurchase through to the place of meeting, procuring a standard certificate from each agent from whom a ticket is purchased, and presenting all of the certificates to the special agent at the Atlanta meeting. It is absolutely necessary that certificates be procured indicating that full fare has been paid for going passage and also indicating the routes traveled in going to the place of meeting. No refund of fare can be expected because of failure to secure such certificates. Certificates must be signed with ink by the Transportation Agent of the National Business League on Thursday, August 30, certifying that one hundred or more delegates holding properly receipted certificates of the standard form have been in attendance at the meeting. Each certificate must bear the vise of the special agent. No certificate will be honoured for reduced fare returning which evidences that less than seventy-five cents was paid for the going journey. No certificate will be honored which was procured from the agent at starting point more than three days prior to the date fixed for the commencement of the meeting (Sunday not included), except that when a meeting is held at a distant point to which the regular transit limits are more than three days certificate will be honored which was procured more than three days prior to the date fixed for the commencement of the meeting, provided such certificate was procured within the number of days "transit limit" prescribed in regular one-way triffis as applicable from the station at which certificate was procured to the place of meeting. Sale of tickets begins, Saturday, August 25. Tickets for return journey may be purchased up to and including Tuesday, September 4. No certificate will be honored which shows the purchase of a ticket for the going journey more than two days after the date fixed for the commencement of the meeting. No certificate will be honored unless presented during the time that the meeting is in session, or within three days (Sunday not included) after the date fixed for the adjournment of the meeting. The tickets for the return journey will be limited to continuous passage by the first train leaving place of meeting after purchase. Certificates will not be honored by conductors. They must be presented to ticket agents. Neither certificates nor tickets furnished on the account of the meeting are transferable, and if presented by any other persons than the original purchasers, they will not be honored, but will be forfeited. Afro-American passengers on roads entering the new terminal station at Atlanta are not allowed to use the front entrance, but are compelled to enter and leave the station through a "Jim Crow" side door, so it is important that when you buy your ticket to demand that it reads via either of the following railroads into Atlanta: Seaboard Air Line Railway, Louisville and Nashville Railroad, Georgia Railroad or Western and Atlantic Railroad. These roads all enter the old station, where there is no "Jim Crow" entrance. "POP" BERKIAN DEAD AGED 106: HAD TWO WHITE WIVES A Character of The Bronx Who Won Once a Slave. John Herrian, an Afro-American widely known in The Bronx as "Pop," died last week at Fordham Hospital. He claimed to be one hundred and six years old. He had been a slave and was very fond of relating tales of the days of slavery. He had been married three times and leaves many children. His last two wives were white, the third Mrs. Herrian being a stout Irish woman who died several years ago. His home was a little cabin he built at Baychester, on the shore of Fastestchester Bay. It is believed that he left a smug sum of money. He made a living digging clams, selling fish that he caught in the Sound, and caring for lawns in the vicinity. "Are you a burglar, my man?" asked the householder. "No." responded the man with the dark-lantern. "I am an agent of the Society to Limit the Rise of Great Fortunes."—New York Herald.

RICHMOND, Va., August 20.—Afro-American enterprises are springing up in Richmond and in every section of the State as rapidly as the proverbial bean stalk.

The latest company to be granted articles of incorporation is the Capital Shoe and Supply Company. This company has been forced to a term of years the monolithic three-story brick building at 20S East Broad street, the main retail thoroughfare of the city. The building is being remodeled and on September 1 will throw its doors open to the public, with a full line of shoes, trunks, satchels, valises, hand bags, etc. The officers of the company are John T. Taylor, president: Thomas M. Crump, secretary: T. T. Hill, treasurer; and William H. Hayes, manager. The promoters of this enterprise are fully identified with the business interests of Richmond and success is predicted them in this new venture. Target Insensitive From The Cambridge (Mama.) Mirror.
