Muskegon may be so blew, but its high-density citizens are not. In fact, they are about the most enterprising, smart and stalking for the course of their lives, who are one find. Muskegon, therefore, their wrath when they are over the water, will still cover the Milkstone numbers, that "the Milkstone" was bode to open here in the Walnut street theatre Monday night of the week.
Immediately a committee, headed by the Rev. M. Mussell, waited upon Mayor Winston and bended him to proclaim the announcement of the play, Mr. Wowar, a performance that he in his pocket, after a few minutes in his pocket, declined to interfere. What he declared to the next week he was forced to do yesterday.
With Dr. Mussell and his committee and with this repeat, they only got better than ever. They then planned to create a great improvisive and peaceful theatricalism against the play and to the end found the following circular:
A CALL TO ACTION.
FREEMARKET, October 20, 1900.
We the colored citizens of the City of Philadelphia, do unanimously and most deliberately prevent against the antifascist movement of Walnut Street, and are encouraged for next week demanding Sunday evening the 22nd尖.
We appeal has done more to arouse a spirit of patriotism against the Negro and to encourage the black population have been encouraged by the past and because of its dangerous influence it has been driven out of a number of cities in the south and and to the north, and have been disturbed that it may further be the Walnut Street Theater during the coming week.
All citizens are called upon to appear at the doors of the theatre on Monday night to see the F. F. Clement. Rev. E. W. Moore, D. D. N. F. Rey. Rev. E. W. Moore, D. D. N. F. Matthew Anderson, D. D. Rev. G. E. Tallafterro, D. D. Rev. R. W. Pickland, L. D. P. Algerson B. Jackson, M. D. D. William A. Davis, Ph. D. W. M. W. M. D. S.
So it happened that on Monday night when the Walnut street theatre opened several hundred Afro-Americans had gathered, and by 8 o'clock there were 3,000 filling the streets and jerking those who entered the theatre. The crowd was very quietly, and well under the control of its leaders, the men who signed the circular.
But inside the theatre a more unruly crowd was gathered in the gallery and as soon as the curtain rose began to peit the actors with fragrant eggs and aged vegetables. This foulish threw the audience into a panic; several women fainted and many rushed to get out.
Four policemen rushed upstairs and detected Henry Jeckins, aged 22, in the act of hurling eggs. They arrested him, but not until his resistance had caused them to use their clubs. As the prisoner was being led down the street, the streaming blood, the sight infuriated the waiting throng and there were cries of "Rush the police!" But the leaders again got busy and prevented what would have been a sanguinary riot. The disturbance so alarmed the audience that only a handful stayed to see the play.
The mob remained about the theatre until 10 o'clock, when it was announced that Mayor Weaver would receive a committee of leading Afro-Americans the day before to prohibit the play. The men then dispersed. Three or four had been arrested, but were afterwards released.
In the delegation that waited upon the Mayor Tuesday were the most prominent Afro-Americans of the city—minisisters, lawyers, doctors and business men. Prominent among these were former Congressman George H. White, of South Carolina, now a resident of Philadelphia; Rev. Dr. G. L. P. Tallafero, Dr. N. F. Monsell, Rev. Dr. E. W. Moore, Rev. Dr. Matthew Anderson, Rev. Dr. R. W. Dickland, Dr. Algernon B. Jackson, Dr. T. G. Cooley, Dr. Min. Dr. William A. Davig, Dr. M. Slowe, James E. McGirt, Charles H. Brooks, Rev. Dr. Armstrong, Bishop J. E. Stansbury, John A. Sparks and John W. Parks.
The Mayor had evidently understood the circular which ammonited the Afro-Americans to make a peaceful demonstration against the play, for he demanded an explanation of it. "I said he," said he, "had been asked last night every man whose name is attached to this circular would have been arrested and held accountable."
Dr. Mossell as spokesman answered: "The gathering of our citizens last night was not that of a riotous or unruly mob. We came as orderly, peaceful citizens to show by our presence in large numbers our intimation at such a base production. We were not riotous, but the play in; and it incites to riot and to hatred of our people all who see it. There was not one lawman, many among us. The only lawman person, in the crowd was one of your own officers. Now as to the purpose of your Honor, Dr. Talifferto will answer you."
Mr. B. Rowe, Oklahoma, October 17—18 besame billyma hare to day that B. A. Clinton, Emigration General of the United States Army, read an order from President Roosevelt several days ago to the battalion of the Twenty-fifth Regiment of Industry (ADV-American) here that the battalion must give the names of the men in the recent Brownerville, Tex. disturbance or be deliberately discharged. Three of the companies of the Twenty-fifth Regiment, B, Q, and D, are now at Fort Bena. On Saturday Gen. Garlington had the companies laid up on the parade grounds and gave them to understand that unless he get information by 9 o'clock Monday as to which of the men were up in the Truss trouble the three companies would be deliberately discharged. It is believed nothing has been revealed.
The order was direct from President Roosevelt. Gem. Garlington made in the first step. The final steps were taken to carry out the dismissal part of the order.
Hope Their Rights. May Prevail in
Coming. Moehra.
HAVANA, October 22. - El Fueblo Libre, a newspaper here, is urging the great Negro majority on the island to organise so that their rights may prevail at the coming elections.
The recent elections are at bottom and a portion of the blacks to gain the rights from which the Palma government had excluded them.
DID AFRO-AMERICANS
Report Dominic, but Fire's Origin in BILL. A Mystery.
GREENVILLE, S. C., October 22.—The evil conscience of the written, which persuaded them that they richly deserved such reprisals, probably initiated the report sent, out last week that the Afro-Americans of Bennec, S. C., had set the town on fire in revenge for the recent dynaming by the whites of Harrell college. This unpleasant event to have been quieted by the activity of the Afro-Americans in helping extinguish it. As灾害. But the origin of the fire is still a mystery, and it is quite possible that some Afro-Americans started it without the knowledge of the others.
The buildings burned were two hotels, two stores adjoining the hotels, a clothing store, a drug store, grocery store and one hardware store, embracing the business of the hotel. It was in the basement of the Oceane Inn, which was left unlocked last night. No casualties are reported, and the occupants of the hotels had ample time to get out. The loss amounted to over $75,000.
BARONESS ROSEN ATTENDS
Production Under Aupices
Daughterhood of Revolution.
CHICAGO, October 10.—Last night at an Afro-American theater, the New Pekin, a special production of a play by Afro-Americanans was given by Afro-American actors under the auspices of the Daughters of the Revolution. The proceeds, over $1,200, were devoted to charity.
In the boxes were such prominent ladies as Baroness Roseen, wife of the Russian ambassador; Mrs. Marguerite Springer, State regent of the Daughters of the Revolution; Mrs. Lillian Schaffner, author of a well-known novel, and many others.
The play was "The Mayor of Dixie," written by A. L. Lyles and F. E. Miller. The actors were the Pekin Stock company of nearly Afro-Americans. Robert T. Motta is proprietor and manager.
COMMEMORATE BIRTH OF
TRUE REPORMERS' FOUNDER
Had Browne Lived the Great Order
Would Have Been Greater.
RICHMOND, October 23.—Richmond
Division of the Grand Fountain, United
Order of True Reformers, held commer-
cation service last Saturday in honor
of the late Rev. William Washington
birth of the late Rev. William Washington
Browne, founder of the organization.

Edward E. Jr., and others. Music by
Bernard Bertha Sweete and Corn Epus

The Reformer organization is a great one, but had Browne lived it would have been greater, for he was a man who believed in recognizing merit. This only allowed him, and in four years "By their works shall be know them" was his motto.
Warranted for White Bioterm
PITTALPHILIA, October 22—Warrants were issued Friday for the arrest of seven white men charged with being implicated in the race fight last Saturday night at Blackwood. The complains were made by Harmon Weise, an Afro-American, who says that both he and James Corney, also an Afro-American, were set upon by a big crowd of white men as they stepped from the train at Blackwood, head to blackwood and cut their way through the park, plus beer bottles. Weise says that he saw several shots fired at John Steele, an Afro-American, as the latter ran for his life away from the crowd. They were held for the action of the grand jury.
The little swarms of insect politicians in the Ninth Assembly district was trodden under foot last Friday night, when George M. Kelth was unanimously deposed as leader by the elected officers and executive committee of the Regular Colored Organization of the Ninth Assembly district. William T. Hooper, chairman of the committee, was made leader pro vice president this week a regular leader will be elected. There is great rejoicing among the respectable element in the district over, the downfall of Keith. With him go down, they exult, the political hoodlums and medals, the ex-convicts and unprincipled adventurers who have had the effrontery to push themselves to the front and degrade all the Afro-American voters of the district by claiming to represent them by owning the Afro-Americanes of the district may feel proud that they have representatives who in intelligence, integrity and independence equal the best men whom the white organization can put forward.
On Friday night last at the home of Mr. Hooper the following powerful Afro-American leaders of the district assembled: George L. Lee, president of the district club; Charles Turner P. K. King, Jackson, William T. Hooper, Leonard A. Fleming, G. W. Mills, James R. Taylor, G. W. Ganaway, W. H. Summerson, James A. Norwood, George Brooks, W. M. Rantus and Earle R. Lighthorne. James Turner bent his prey. Dr. P. A. Johnson and B. L. Stokus, who were unavoidably absent, have since added their contribution to the proceedings of the meeting. Keith's sense of guilt seems to have been so strong that he didn't dare face his accusers. He was not present. According to the summons served on Keith, his non-appearance would have been sufficient cause to convict him; but the committee decided not to take advantage of the threat to threash out the charges against him. Mr. Lightbourne, chairman of the law committee, reported that charges had been served on Keith on October 8, returnable that night at $30, and moved that as it was then 10 o'clock the trial should proceed. The motion was carried. Mr. Hooper acted as judge, Mr. Lightbourne as prosecuting attorney, James E. Norwood as foreman of the jury, and Norwood as stenographer and the others as jurors.
Resolved. That a copy of these resolutions be sent to Mr. John P. Windolph, leader of the Ninth Assembly White Republican Organizing Person, president of the New York County Republican Committee, and also a copy to THE NEW YORK AUK.

An error of your proof reader last week compels us again to the offensive duty of referring to the career of W. T. R. Richardson. He was sentenced to the hittings of the city of New York in the year 1804—not 1904, as we were made to say.
Keith is being bolstered up for a few brief days by the assistance of one or two men in the white organization who are anxious to see the Afro-American
votes of the district councillors in the same state of political wisdom which they coupled under Koch. One of these white men is Andrew M. McLaren, who went so far at the Campaign Committee meeting Monday night as to ask the chairman not to stagnate Earl R. Lightburns, one of the anti-Koch leaders. It is the opinion of the Awwar Association that McLaren could慈怀 himself much more wisely with his own affairs, which his present predilection in the white organization should make accordingly instructing to him.
WASHINGTON, October 17.—Assistant Attorney General Charles W. Russell has been sent South to take charge of the investigation of the pennage cases and to prosecute the cases against those persons now under indictment. In announcing his selection for the duty Attorney General Moody said:
"I have decided to assist Assistant Attorney General Russell to Florida and elsewhere in the South to look after the various prosecutions and other matters which will be handled. We have selected Mr. Russell because of the fact that he is a Southern man, a Democrat, and familiar with the conditions existing in the South."
The problem of determining where responsibility lies for present pennage practices is difficult. In some States it is based in part on the system of leasing out the labor of convicts and other offenders. Contractors have thus obtained the general control of bodies of men from penitentiaries and jails, and with the authority of State law and regulation have kept them at work; being, of course, required to guard them and prevent escapes. Thus out of this system of convict development. Out of this system of pennage system. It is difficult to determine where the State's proper right to control the services of convicts state and where the right of Federal Government to stop in under the pennage act and the guarantees of the Constitution begins.
POLITICAL CAMPAIGN ABSORBS
Question Whether Whites Will Support Afro-American Candidates.
Chicago, October 22—Politics seems to have a firm grip on the Afro-Americans of Chicago. Not given in a Presidential election has been shown a more widespread interest. This is, of course, due to the fact that there are three African Americans on Republican ticket, three that will move to a liberal share of the State, county and city patronage will fall into the laps of the would-be statesmen and party workers of the race. Much is at stake—that is to say, coal, house rent, overcrowds, etc. cry out for Republican success all along the political line.
It is feared by the wise ones that the frequency of lynchings and riots in the South will consequently decrease. The public mind agrees that the Afro-American will not contribute to the chance of the Afro-American candidates, who cannot be elected without the normal Republican white vote. The Afro-American voters of Chicago feel that they are in the presence of a great responsibility.
If they bring weakness instead of strength to the ticket, the result may prove fatal to future ambitions. If there are more African Americans who know how to make white Republicans loyal to black Republicans, now and here are the time and place for his magic knowledge to be exerted.
AFRO-AMERICAN GRL WINS "CHICAGO AMERICAN" PRIZE
Spelling Content Among School Children—Instance of Precocity.
CICAGO, October 23.—Almost at nite every hour when at Atlanta and clowns savage Saxons were committing all sorts of crimes in the name of white supremacy over black people, a little 12-year-old Afro-American girl, Hazel Handy, in Chicago, won a notable prize against a host of white competition. The *Chicago* winner, a 12-year-old African-American contest among the school children of the city. When it came to award the prizes to the winners, it was discovered that the first prize belonged to a little Afro-American girl. The American promptly awarded her the prize in the form of a check for $12. The little prize winner is a daughter of the team, and in a moment of mental brightness would scarcely have been thought of as coming within the range of a contest.
Perhaps it would not be uninteresting to note another incident of juvenile preciety in connection with the above. In the corridors of the Wendell Phillips High School in Chicago the other day everyone noticed a little Afro-American boy confidently holding in his little arm some books, the size and title of which seemed far beyond his years. He seemed clearly out of place, and those who first thought he had mistaken the high school for a low-grade school. He, however, quickly undeceived them by showing that he had quickly and successfully passed all the lower grades and was, by virtue of successful examinations, passing to his seat among the high school students. These instances of mental preciety are not rare. In hundreds of schools these little students of poor and unlettered Afro-American parents are quietly and increasingly contradicting the false philosophy of a divinely appointed inferiority.
Wunder in the 20th Infantry.
MANILA, October 17—Sgt. Taylor, the Twenty-fourth United States Infantry has shot and killed First Lieutenant Robert B. Calvert of that regiment on the island of Leyte. No details of the affair have been received yet.
BARBER TOOK TO HIS HEELS
Recently Marched Barefoot to John Brown's Grave, Resolving to Die for the Race
Special Correspondence of Tan-Aon ATLANTA, Ga., October 16—Matters in Atlanta are fast quieting down, and the usual routine of life has begun. The schools and colleges have opened as usual, and, all things considered, the attendance is fair. Our people here are not discouraged, notwithstanding the trial" through which they have been passing. They are not only going ahead in school and church work, but also in business enterprises, such as the new shoe store and the new bank. The committee of twenty Afro-Americans and ten white men are working to bring about and maintain peace and harmony between the face and feel sure that success will be the result.
Your readers were no doubt glad to know that Dr. White had returned to his home in Augusta and was editing The George Baptist as usual. Dr. White has never been out of the South and not far from Augusta at any time. In this connection I must say that Mr. J. Max Barber made a serious blunder by leaving here. When a prominent Afro-American leaves a community it encourages the leaves to take other prominent Afro-Americans leave, and when they do it is very discouraging to those remaining.
The facts are that a white man called Mr. Barber to his office and advised him to leave the city. Without further ado he left on the first train leaving Atlanta. There were other and equally prominent Afro-Americans whose lives were in dandruff they show to us, and face death rather than show the white people. Our people here are rather surprised at the sudden leaving of Mr. Barber in view of the fact that he has been advising the race to stand up for its rights, face death, and, if necessary, die for the race. Naturally your readers can imagine our surprise to know that he is the first and only one to leave the city. Acts of violence against our people, but he is the only one to run away and had the least cause for doing so.
The running away of Barber has another demoralizing influence; it discourages the masses, who, for a number of years have stood by these leaders here. Now in the hour of *till* and danger one of them lies to the North. We presume that he, like the others, will write articles advising us in the South to stand up for our rights and even did if it becomes necessary. It seems incredible to people here that this can be the same Max Barber who only a few weeks ago was marching around the grave of John Brown at daybreak, hardcoated, to initiate in him John Brown's bravery and to remind him that he like Dr. Craigman and Dr. Rowen, whose lives were in real danger, left for a season we should have felt that they were justified, but there was absolutely no excuse for Max Barber's leaving. A gentleman on the street not long since remarked that for the first time he underwent a serious illness, and meant; it means, said he, to "Move" in case of danger. Mr. Barber justified this description by his action.
We understand Max Barber is now preparing to play to the galleries and assume the part of a martyr. If so, it is a cheap martyrdom, cheaply bought. We venture the assertion that not a dozen white men here knew he was the publisher of such a journal as The Voice of the Negro.
ATLANTA "DEPUTY SHERIFF"
PULLED FOR INTOXICATION
Kind of Men the Law Armed During Race Riota.
ATLANTA, October 19.—Cicero Baldwin, a grocery merchant and one of the deputy sheriffs who were sworn in by Sheriff Nelms during the riot, was arrested for being intoxicated Wednesday at the fair grounds. A pistol was found concealed on him.
He stated to the recorder yesterday morning that he was still a deputy sheriff and had a badge and pistol because he was an officer.
The recorder informed him that he could not carry a concealed weapon even if he wore an officer and held him in $100
Democrats-Import Race Issue Into Oklahoma.
GUTHRIE, OKLA., October 18—The Democratic party in this State has impartial the race issue and is trying to carry its ticket by appeals to race hatred, are trying to teach the Indians to hate Afro-Americans and class themselves with the whites. It is feared the Indians are open to persuasion in this direction.
Nominated for Congress from Minnesota.
GREENWOOD, Mise, October 20.-Gee W. Chatters, an ex-splave, has been nominated for Congress in the old "Shoe String" district, once represented by John R. Lynch, and will-speak in various parts of the district.
Punished Highly by White Daddy—On
His Way Word.
CHARLISSON, W. V., October 20.—The oratorical laurels of a big Afro-American political meeting held here last night at the Court House were easily borne off by Hill House Watson and Mr. Giltchrist Sparrow, New York. Of Mr. Stewart The Charleston Daily Gazette says to day:
"Mr. Stewart, of New York, proved himself to be one of the most practical and eloquent Negro quaters that ever spoke in this section, and his speech was not only a credit to himself but to his entire race.
"It was filled with good common sense and practical wisdom all the way through, and was practically devoted to the political clap-trap and not that usually acterise men of his race. He counseled the Negroes to practice industry, economy and sobriety as well as absolute independence in the exercise of the franchise of the ballot."
Mr. Stewart is on his way West on business for the Constitution League.
ILLINOIS TOWN DRIVES
Mob Gatherer After Reports of Attempted Aggression
CASKET, Ill. October 20—Influenced by the reports of two attempted assaults on white women, a mob formed to day and invading the Afro-American quarter, ordered everybody to leave town within twenty-four hours. An attempt was made to lynch one of the reputed assailants, but he escaped. Threats were made to exterminate all the Afro-Americans in town, but it was finally decided to run out. They are leaving as fast as possible. The white hodium element all over the country has learned its lesson from Atlanta.
Sheriff Thoughtfully Went Home to Sleep, Leaving Law Unguarded. Monica, Alk., October 21—"Bobert Clark, alias Dan Dave, came to his death at the end of an inch rope and at the hands of an unknown mob." Such was the verdict of the coroner's jury. Three hundred masked white men, all armed with the Afro-American from the little wooden cedar, Miss, early to day and hanged, telegraph pole in the center of the town, which is forty miles from Mobile. The body remained in suspension until eleven o'clock; 5,000 persons saw it. Clark, whose home was in Kansas City, Mo., is said to have confessed that he had attacked Mrs. Frank Dickson and Mrs. Helen Hinton, both of naval stores operators in that section. A hue and cry for him was raised; Clark stole a horse and rode away. Dr. W. X. Newhorne and Deputy Sheriff Hinton came upon Clark riding near Wilmer, twelve miles from here, yesterday. When he saw them, Clark raised his shotgun, but Hinton was quicker and wound him. He fell from his horse. A mob gathered Wilmer to lynch him, but the officers flagged an engine and took him to Lucedale.
There officers guarded him in the jail, a filmy structure, until 10:30 o'clock last night. There was no sign of a mob gathering then; the town seemed to be asleep. The officers locked up the jail and went home. Then the three hundred and quiet were they that Clark's swaying body was intimation of the lynching to most of Lucedale's citizens. The lynchers gave Clark time to pray.
GANS SAYS MOVING PICTURES
ARE MANIPULATED UNFAIRLY
They Are in Charge of Nolan, Nelson's
Manager.
INDIANAPOLIS, October 20.—Joe Gans, lightweight champion of the world, is appearing at the Empire this week. He admitted that he had a hard job in licking Nelson, whom he defeated for the title in their recent fight in Goldfield, New, and who appeared at the Gayetty Peaney incarnates that greeted Gans's speech, preliminary to his boxing bout, it is clear that he has a host of friends in Indianapolis.
Gans made a little curtain speech of ten or twelve minutes. He isn't half had as a "public speaker," and many of his remarks were roundly applauded. Gans's speech was a criticism of the treatment he had received at the hands of Nolan, Nelson's manager, and an arranger in an attempt to give him all the trust of whatever articles the two fighters may sign for a future scrap.
Gans saw the moving pictures of the fight in St. Louis Sunday night. The presentation of these pictures, it will be remembered, is under: the direction of Nolan, and Gans makes the charge that they are manipulated to show him up in an as had a light as possible. He says that the fight is over the fight, and are run off slowly, while those in which he had the better of the argument are run out so swiftly that the spectators cannot get a fair idea of the progress of the battle.
The fouls that Nelson committed, especially the one that ended the fight, Gans says, are thrown on the screen so quickly, that it is very hard to get the true story that the pictures should show. Gans has the idea that the "game" that Nelson and thinks that the "game" that Nelson is aptly named on him in Goldfield was the work of Nolan.
Gana announces his willingness to fight Nelson again and to offer him terms of 63 per cent. to the winner. The agreement at Goldfield was 75 per cent. to Nelson, win or lose. A reception was tendered Gana by the Summer League Thursday from 2 till 10 p.m.
Up in the 15th Congressional District — which embraces parts of the 11th, 18th, 17th, 25th and 29th Assembly districts, and all of the 15th, and including Sam Juan Hill and large numbers of African American voters—a political content of the Democratic candidate is going on. The Republican candidate Jacob Van Petten Olcott, who is up for nomination, and his Democratic opponent is Henn John J. Halligan.
This contest has National importance because of the duty incumbent upon Afro-Americans everywhere who have the
JACOB VAN VECHTEN OLOOTT.
Interests of their race at heart not to
permit the Republican majority of the
last House of Representatives to be
decreased by one man. A Democratic major-
ity in the House would mean John
Sharp Williams for Speaker instead of
Uclef Joe Cannon; it would mean Southern
Democrats for chairmen of nearly all
the House Committees; it would mean
that Congressman Hardwick's bill for
the repeal of the 15th Amendment would
have a good chance of being enacted.
Afro-Americans nowhere, unless they
want to commit political suicide, should
make the mistake of strengthening
hands in Congress of John Sharp
Williams and his crew of Southern difranchisers by aiding in the election of any
Democrat to Congress, however popular
he may be and however rosy his promises.
Olecott's Record on Race Problem.
Particularly insistent is their duty to support Republican candidates for Congress when the candidate has made no unexceptionable a record on the race problem as is true of Congressman Olecott. He, with Congressman Bennett of New York, is one of the few Congressmen in Ohio in the Congress disregarded Speaker Cannon's cannon, and against "waving the bloody shirt" and insturrected and supported bills for the reduction of Southern representation. Last May, when the case came up of Samuel Lee of South Carolina, who was voted the right in the 47th Congress to a contested seat in the House, but who had never received his pay as a Representative, Mr. Olecott was one of the prominent Republicans who got through a bill awarding $10,452 to Lee's heirs for salary and allowances, in spite of all the filibustering that John Sharp Williams would contrive. There were 13 roll calls on this bill and the Congressional Record shows that M. Olecott was in his seat and answered to all requests for nine previous and beer imported in nine previous Congresses and had nine times been defeated. Lee was an Afro-American.
Of Mr. Olcott's activity in behalf of Aaron P. Prioleau, an Afro-American from South Carolina who contested a seat in the 50th Congress, we shall let Mr. Prioleau himself speak in an open letter he has addressed to the Afro-American voters of the 15th Congressional District:
Prioleau's Open Letter:
Fellow Citizens: Please allow me to commend you for electing and sending such a gentleman and patriotic Republican representative, an honorable J. Van Vechten Olcott to Congress.
During my content for a seat in the 50th Congress from the First Congressional Carolina, met this gentleman through the M. W. Gilbert, D. D., of 165 West 58rd street, of your city, one of the colored race's most representative leaders, and through him my contest and the interest therein to us was appreciated. In his representation, his representative, and the importance was urged upon him of using his good offices to help me secure my seat, so that the ten millions of Afro-Americans in the United States, one representative in the National Congress, as was justly due to us as citizens.
This gentleman approached me in Con-
ference. I informed me of his advice from
R. Gilbert. I asked him to help me better.
He took an active part before the
Election. Committee and members in
the committee delayed the report
chairman of the committee delayed the
report in this contest until I was forced to
ask the committee members handed
down an answer to answer members handed
down an answer to answer members handed
down the 85th of June last—uped up for pub-
My position as a constituent for a seat in the 56th and 57th Congress has given me the true conditions of observation as to what the true conditions of observation must be a race and as offence of the United States in that representative body, in order that we may command deeds, we may command actions, and all other nationalities under the law and Constitution of the country command—before this Nation our rights and privileges-before this Nation and that besome body of knighthood.
Trusting, fellow citizens, that each of you who are voters in this district has the importance of electing Representative Greg Norman as the president, and that the standard bearer of district, and that you realize the fact that this matter concerns you all, and that it is for the best interest for you, you should not, to write upon mutual ground and give you a larger majority than ever was given a Republican before in your district, and that God who judges and blesses the Nation will bless, prosperity and success in all your homes and businesses. AARON P. FRIELMAN, CHARLESTON, B. C., October 12, 1904. Would it be possible for any Democratic member, to aid our cause in this manner? For his efforts in Mr. Prilouw* behalf alone every colored voter in his district, whether Democrat or Republican, should do his utmost to elect Congressman Olcott on November 6. He has certainly proved himself our true friend.
Glott's Career in Interpreting.
Mr. Olcott was born in New York city on May 17, 1856. He graduated from the public schools here, the College of the City of New York and the Law School of Columbia College. He began as aerk in the office of Hon. E. Ellery, Brown, and then practiced a numb bory of years with his brother, W. M. K. the best District Attorney New York now had. Congressman Olcott is now an active partner in the firm of Dougbury, Olcott & Turney, at 27 William street.
During the administration of Mayor Strong, Mr. Oscott was appointed as a Municipal Civil Service Commissioner, which office he filled with credit to the administration. In 1904 he was elected by the Republican party as a Representative to the 50th Congress from the Fifteenth Congressional District. He is a member of a number of clubs and a trustee in several charitable organisations where his advice is eager sought. During his term as a member of the Fifty-ninth Congress, and in the first session he added to his dutiful with seal and fideliety. It is well-known fact that he was found in his seat in the House of Representatives almost every day when it was in session strictly attending to the great number of matters affecting the city of New York and particularly to the many wants of his constituents. Every request made of him by any of his constituents he cheerfully responded to and, wherever possible, accomplished.
His ability was soon recognized by his colleagues, and, shortly after the convening of Congress, he was made a member of one of the important Committees of the House of Representatives—the Committee on the District of Columbia, which, in conjunction with a similar Committee appointed by the Senate, is practically the Board of Aldermen of the city of Washington. His services on this committee were incessant and brilliant.
Chairman of Committee During First Term.
The Speaker of the House, in looking around for a fitting Representative to appoint as chairman of a special investigating committee, created a precedent by appointing to that important position Mr. Olcott; though he was serving his first term in Congress. This committee was appointed to investigate the management of the Government Hospital for the Insane, situated in Washington, the largest hospital for the insane in the United States, having some 2,500 patients. The Committee sat almost daily for several months taking testimony of witnesses, and its work was not concluded when Congress adjourned.
During the period occupied in this investigation, Mr. Olcott was also obliged to attend to the numerous meetings and conferences of the Committee on the District of Columbia and its subcommittees, in addition to his other duties of a general nature as a member of the House in caring for the interests of the residents of his district and of the city of New York. His colleagues in the House would be greatly disappointed if he were not returned to the 60th Congress, as would also be the residents of the District of Columbia. He was active in framing and voting against the bill for the organisation of the police department of the District of Columbia with increased salaries for the members of the force, and also had much to do with the passing of the bill reorganising the fire department of the District with increased salaries. A large number of Afro-Americans are employed in these departments.
Public Schools in Washington.
In the reorganization of the public school system in the District Mr. Olecott was an ardent worker, and with his assistance the bill was finally passed giving increases in salaries to the teachers of the school system and with his assistance he was a member of the Committee on this public question, and his unceasing efforts at the meetings of this subcommittee and his part in the debate on the floor of the House added materially in the passage of the School Bill.
To accomplish all of these things the people of the District have been working for years, and they have in many ways showed their appreciation of Mr. Oltott's services in their behalf. There are but a few of the institutions concerning the District of Columbia in which Mr. Oltott once briefly attended.
In summation the following is the opinion of Mr. Yeo. To this effect he would readily and willingly to best which would be in benefit the city and best conserved his interests, and in this his record will also show that he was successful. Appreciation for New Custom House. Mr. Ollott introduced a bill making appropriation of $1,000,000 for the interior decoration of the new Custom House. Through his efforts the bill, reduced to $400,000, passed the House, but when it reached the Senate that body cut out the appropriation. Mr. Ollott, together with Representatives Purpose and Purpose, took the matter up with the Committee in the Senate, and finally succeeded in having the appropriation reported by that Committee, after which the bill became a law.
He also, in conjunction with Congressmen Paterson and Bennet, was instrumental in creating a new post office at the new terminus of the Pennsylvania Railroad in New York city, and on this matter the amount of work that had to be done was enormous. They also made the extension of the pneumatic tube services in New York possible.
Laboratory in Public Stores.
He together with Congressmen Bennet and Calder, was successful in having the position of laborers in the United States Public Stores raised so that they are now on the same footing as annual clerks, with two weeks' vacation and two weeks' leave of absence while sick, with pay.
Work for Foot Office Employees and
Excavators
His work in behalf of the New York letter carriers and clerks was important. He was constantly engaged with the Committee on Post Office and Post Boards in the House, and also the Committee in the Senate in attempting to have included in the appropriation bill for the post office department a provision for an increase in salaries of these worthy and overworked servants of the Government. His speech made on the floor of the House in favor of amending the appropriation bill so that it would make this provision so a forceful argument, and it is the opinion among the members of the 59th Congress that the question as to increased salaries of carriers and clerks in cities of the first class is nearer solution than it ever has been; and there is strong hope entertained by the members that such bill can be passed at the next session. Mr. Olcott is on record saying that he will work an energetically in their behalf at the next session, if elected, as he did at the last. He feels that he has the confidence of every post office clerk and carrier in New York city that he will finally succeed in this task.
Regarding pension matters, Mr. Orcott was entirely successful as a member servicing his first term. He succeeded in having pawned and made laws a great many bills granting pensions and increase of pensions to old soldiers, and this work was a great pleasure to him at all times. This brief summary of the splendid re-education made him a popular of success in appeal to his constituents as a harbinger of greater things in the next Congress if he should be re-elected. His influence in Washington is great and if he is re-elected will be greater. He may yet assist in delivering the Afro-American people from the horrible abuses perpetrated in the South.
KELLY MILLER TELLS BRICHMOND
ABOUT THE RACE PROBLEM
Urges Patriotism and Self-Confidence as Alda to Solution.
RICHMOND, October 24.—The lecture of Prof. Kelly Miller last Monday night at True Reformers' Hall, under the auspices of the Y. M. C. A., on "The Duty of the Hour," was a rich literary treat. and was greatly enjoyed by a large audience.
Prof. Miller prefaced his lecture by stating that in the discussion of his subject he would not attempt to offer a solution of the perplexing questions now nagitating our social fabric, causing strained relations between the races in selections of the country and open ruinages in others, but that he would give a few suggestions which, if followed, would make for the good of the race. He suggested education, patriotism, courage, self-control, character, union of aim and effort and faith in God and in one's self. Each of these factors was thoroughly and logically analyzed, with an eloquence and an empathy so commanding as to keep the audience's rapt attention from start to finish.
STEVENS SAYS WHITES CAN
STAND CANAL CLIMATE
Wrong Ideas About Immunity of West Indians.
WASHINGTON, October 22.—The chairman of the Isthmian Canal Commission is in receipt of letters from the Isthmus from Chief Engineer Stevens and Col. Gorgas, chief sanitary officer, which shows an encouraging condition of health among the laborers brought from northern Spain to work on the canal. Since January 1 there have been about 300 these, and not a single one has died from cancer. They have malaria in about the same degree as the American whites, but not at all to the extent that the West Indians have, and there has not been a single case of yellow fever among them.
Their general condition, in the opinion of Col. Gorgas, is about as good as it was in their homes in Spain, and they stand the climate much better than the West Indian laborers.
Mr. Stevens writes that he is convinced by this experience that "any white man, so called, under the same conditions, will stand the climate on the Isthmus very much better than the blacks, who are supposed to be immune from practically everything, but who, as a matter of fact, are subject to almost everything."
Fleisham Immigrants Bound South. Bauhaus, October 18—Two hundred and fifty eight skilled Fleisham weavers, with their families to-day left Ghent for Brumen, whence they will call on the stoner of the North German Lloyd Line direct for Charleston, S. C.
This is the first installment of a considerable immigration movement arranged under the auspices of the Government of Begham and the authorities of South Carolina.
Special Correspondence of THE AU.
BROOKMONT, Va. October 22-Late last
Friday afternoon, the executive committee
of the Jamestown Negro, Development
and Exposition Company awarded
the designs for the Administration Building
to be erected on the Jamestown Exposition grounds.
The committee in its awards was very much perplexed as to declaring .on the best plan among: the drawings presented by the many competing architects, all of whom were Afro-Americans. After much deliberation the choice narrowed down to five drawings, submitted by William Sidney Pittman, Washington, D. C.; A. Rayfield and O. W. Wagner; A. J. Tucker, Washington, W. T.; Bailey, Tunkerey, and C. Henry Wilson, Philadelphia. The plans of these five were sent to the superwing architect of the U. S. Treasury for his selection of the best. This official returned to the committee the drawings of J. A. Lankford and W. S. Pittman as the best suited and most complete of the five submitted to him. After a careful consideration of many hours by the committee, and with Messrs. Pittman and Lankford both present to explain their details the committee by unanimous vote selected the plans of Mr. Pittman. A description of the plans may be summed up as follows:
(1) The general exterior is of rich Colonial design, strongly influenced by classic composition and slightly enlivened by color effect, flag poles, bits of ornamentation, etc., as suggestive of its intended purpose.
(2) The main entrance is given dignity through the use of a large extended Colonial porch supported by four massive columns resting in a spacious concrete floor. These four columns, together with all superstructure, the main corner all round building, the exterior trim of openings, ornamental work, etc., are all to be of solid, white finish, constructed of a material called "staff." These are to be constructed of pebble dash plaster work finished in natural cement color. The body of roof is to be covered with a cheap but sufficiently durable material and tinted a somber red between white strips, producing napelling effect.
(4) The first floor for the building is to have two distinct floors) shall contain, in addition to 38,000 square feet of exhibit space, four stair halls, with entrances from the outside and from the inside of building, two spaces offices, retiring rooms and toilets for ladies, and toilets for men. The height of the first floor is 20 feet in the clear.
(5) The second floor is primarily intended for the use of a large auditorium whose seating capacity is 5,000. On this floor shall also be arranged separate retiring rooms and toilets for men and women. A large stage seating 300 is located directly over the main entrance of the building and danked on either side by an antero-room. Additional exhibit space shall be provided for on this floor for all special work in sewing, needlework, etc.
(6) The building is to be well lighted and ventilated on all sides by means of large and airy windows, with great skylights in the roof for the auditorium. At night electricity will be profusely employed both inside and outside to the greatest advantage of the building from any point of view.
Bids for the erection of the building will be advertised in the next few days.
will be advertised in the next four days. Mr. Pittman is a Tuskegee product. He completed the course in the wheelwrighting division of Tuskegee Institute and also graduated from the literary department of the institution. During his term of four years he showed such great ability in architectural drawing and designing that Dr. Washington and others persuaded him to stay there and take an advanced architectural course, which he completed in two years. After that Dr. Washington and several of the executive officers of the school saw that he gave fine promise as an architect, and the school advanced him money to pay all of his expenses for three years to take a course in architecture at Dexel Inate in Philadelphia. As Mr. Pittman managed his high school job, he instituted, being fourth in his class. As soon as he graduated, he was given a position in Tuskegee Institute as architect, which not only required him to make plans for all new buildings while serving this position, but to teach architecture to the advanced and post-graduate students, which he did with eminent ability and success.
The Collis P. Huntington Memorial Building, the largest and most substantial building on the school grounds, which contains forty-one large classrooms, was designed by Mr. Pittman. There are at least a dozen other buildings, including the large and small, on the school grounds, drawn by Mr. Pittman. He has made plans for as many of the buildings owned by Tuskegee Institute as any other one person.
Last year he resigned from Tuskegee Institute to move to Washington, where he would have a broader field in which to work. He has met great success in his business in the North, having now under his construction a number of large buildings in many of the different cities.
Fresher Held on Grave Change.
PHILADELPHIA, October 22—According to the member of the so-called "vice squad" the Rev Joseph M. Robinado, an officer of the district house at 206 Mariervine street. The place was raided last night, and the prescriber was locked up in the eighth district station house. Magistrates: Elmebrown held Robinado under $600 hall for court, which was produced.
Up in the North Assembly district then dwelled an original character who rejoiced in the cagemann of "Mist Hanna." Some people say his real name is Leonard A. Fleming, but the majority of Afro-American voters in the district believe this is only his nickname. "Mist Hanna" he is, and ever shall be.

Holl's Kitchen, he was born just like any ordinary citizen in the metropolis of Raleigh, N. C. Unconscious of his future fame, "Mark" for seven long years descended to the position of porter for the firm of R. B., Andrews & Co. Then, armed with credentials and recommendations from this firm, which had at last been appointed to the position of solicitor themselves to be separated from "Mark," he came to New York to seek his fortune. In the Ninth "Mark" has grown to be an institution and a power. Mr. Windolph speaks highly of him, and there is hardly a meeting in the 34th street club that he is not called to stand and deliver one of his droll speeches. At such times "Mark" is in his glory. He affects the long coat and slouch that supposed to be the only appropriate dress for estate owners. It was "Mark's" vote last Friday night which made the verdict against Keith unanimous.

AFRO-AMERICAN DEMOCRATS
AGAINST "CARPET BAGGERS"
Petition Roosevelt to Demolish Southern Republican Machines.
President Roosevelt has been appealed to by members of a newly organized body of Afro-Americans of this city to use his influence in assisting to better the condition of the race in the South by dishandling the Republican organizations in that section of the country.
The leaders, who say their work is "a new emancipation movement," the leader of which is John B. Syphax, who was a member of the Virginia Legislature during reconstruction days, declare that politics is responsible for all the conflicts between Americans of the South, and say that the cupid bag politicians and the white Republicans are the worst enemies of the race.
The appeal declares that the only object of the Republican organisations in the South is to obtain, for certain white men and a few Afro-Americans all the Federal patronage that a friendly President will give, and that even in States where no Republican candidate could get an entrench the vote the Republican organisation artificially sets the sole purpose of obtaining patronage. In a statement issued by the organization is the following:
"The Negroes back of the movement think it is high time the Negro should protest against being exploited for the private gain of a small class of office holders. The promoters hope to destroy the antagonism that was created in times under the function, and establish conditions under which a two races may live together in peace and mutual helpfulness."
In the appeal sent to the President and the Governor of every Southern State it is stated that the troubles of the Afro-American in the South were caused by their formation after the war into "Loyal Lagues" and "Republican Party" organizations, as weapons against the whites of that section. The address concludes as follows:
"When the day shall come that we are no longer used by white men as more human ammunition with which to fight our white neighbors, then, and only then, can we consistently go to Jamestown, Va., and on benedicts know ask our God to help white men keep secure the command that He made with the founders of the Nation."

ODD FELLOWS FACE SPLIT
Morris and Houston to Fight for Control Next Year
At Atlantic City, West Will Be Arrayed Against the North and East
Special Correspondence of Tux Age, Richmond, Va., October 22.—The coming of the great Biennial Movable Committee of the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows to Richmond was, as has been stated in this correspondence, the greatest fraternal gathering which ever met in this city. During "Odd Fellows Week" everybody was a hearty-Odd Fellow, superficially, but now that the excitement is over, the delegates away and men taking time to breathe, collect sober thoughts and think over the deliberations of the B. M. C. it is an open question as to whether the coming of the body to Richmond has strengthened it in this bailwick or not. There are those who believe not—and they outnumber those who are optimistic ten to one.
We, here in Richmond, saw the strain and knew the tension was no great that just a least bit more would have snapped the tie that binds, and in America there would be to-day two branches of the English order among Afro-Americans, as there are two of Elke, two of Pythians, two of Scottish Rites Masons, two of True Reformers, two of St. Luke's and two of everything that claims corporate rights and copyrights. Luckily the breach was not opened, but the failure of the B. M. C. to adopt the proposition calling for district representations in the future will bring the same unwieldy delegations to Atlantic City in 1908, and the fight for the grand mastership will not be the East, the North and West against the South, with all the politicians on the one side and the votes on the other without a leader; but it will be the great West against the North and East—Morris against Houston—with the awardeed purpose of a change in the tenure of office of the grand officer, and the setting up of what is practically a life tenure, such as privals among the True Reformers to day.

Foraker was the orator of the day. Three

“It wis my privilege to be resenteat
the demonstration, of protes;/Tast night,”
began Dr. Taliaferro, “to make“a peace:
able protest against this play. We casted
upon our people to gather there so a8 to
make our protest impressive and effec:
tive.”
‘The Mayor interrupted the spenker at
this point by saying: “Would it not have
been better to make your protest here?”
“We were here about six months ago,”
angwered the «peaker.
“And I said at that time that you were
only attracting xreater attention to the
play, and I promised you to look Into the
play and if I found anything objection-
‘able I would stop it. I sent a gentleman
to witness the production whose juds-
ment you said would prove satisfactory
to you, and be reported that he found
nothing of an objectionable character in
the, play.”
‘To this Rev. Dr. Andervon, a venerable
Preabyterian minister, replied: “We feel
that we are being outraged by thie play,
and when I say this T apeak for the godiy|
and church-going‘geople of our race. We
felt that you would not do anythiog to
suppress this play, op we decided that
peaceable demonstration of our peoplr
would show you that we dre sincere and
earnest in.our protest against this play.
There is nothing on the stage to-day that
so creates a bitter hatred against my
reople and incites the white mea to rlot
as ‘The Clansman.’ It depicts the los5-
some .side of our race and proclaims it
as the true character of the Negro. It
is a base lie, and if for'no other reason
than thin it should be snppresied. Yes
jerday when I brought the matter before
the Presbsterian Ministerial Association
hose gentlemen agreed with me that ‘The.
Planaman”’ wrought a severe injury to
ur race, and the Association at once

ution of 200 nsinisters-—calling upon you |

Dr. Anderson spoke with great fovling

romintd to-give his answer. AC that
ie he read thei the following decision : |
“From the evidence that has been] '
rough to me Tam convinesd that the ||
uontion of the play ix to intensify che
cial hatred that existed between our | 4
hite aud our colored citizens in the | |

“I deem it my’ duty as Chief Bxecu |

‘The personality of the Senator and bie

His support of every measure in which
the Afro-American people were inter-

him the earnest, loyal and enthusiastic

OBITUARY.
John T. Harver
On Tuesday, October 9, 1903, John T. Harvey, late of 69 Pine Street, died at Trinity Hospital, this city, after a long and lingering illness, aged 52 years. Mr. Harvey was born in Richmond, Vt., but had been a resident of this city for over 35 years. Although of a somewhat retiring disposition, his genial and sunny nature endured him to a large circle of friends. He was a man of many sterling qualities of mind and heart. In 1880 he was married to Miss Grace Chamber in All Saints' cathedral at Albany by Bishop Doane of that diocese, but has since lived in this city. His home was happy and the center of an unostentatious but generous hospitality. He leaves a widow and several nieces and a nephew to mourn his untimely taking off. He was a member of St. Philip's P. E. church, from which his brother occurred on Saturday, October 13, 1900, and was largely included. The palbridge was Messrs. E. V. C. Eato, Thomas Dyer, Anthony McCarthy, John Massey, Richard Johnson, Charles E. Scott and William Oscar Payne. He was also a member of the Southern Beneficial League.
Henry F. Seabrook.
On Saturday, September 29, in the twenty-ninth year of his age, Henry T. Seabrok died at his late home, 328 West 33d street, after a short illness. He leaves a wife, a child three years old and four cousins. He was beloved by all who knew him and he leaves a host of friends. The funeral services took place at St. Mark's M. E. church Tuesday evening, October 2d, and were very impressive. The sermon was preached by Her. W. H. Brooke. The interment took place in the following Evergreen cemetery: C. Franklin Carr was funeral director. Mrs. Seabrok wishes to thank her many friends for their kindness during Mr. Seabrok's illness.

CITY PARTY WORKER BRIEFNESS WITH HALF BROTHER
Bectare Avenue Ace Retiree of the Corporation.
PHILADELPHIA, October 28—Warrants were issued Saturday for two City Party workers in the 54th ward. They were accused of false registration in the first division. City Party leaders declared the arrest of the two men was an organization trick for the purpose of keeping them out of the precinct to day. Henry Cobb and his brother David, the man concerned, are Afro-American, and have been questioned for the time being in public custody. Henry Cobb according to the instructions of the City Party, said P. Miller, five of 21 S. 51th street. That is denied, and Cobb includes that he lives at 700 M. 61th street, in the first division, although admitting that he visits a friend in 51th street. He declares he leans the 51th street house. He was held in $000 ball by Magistrate John McClary. His brother, mya, lives with him, but has not been arrested yet. Miller, in the affidavit, upon which the warrant was issued, said David Cobb lives at 754 Lafx street. Dr. S. Solis Cohen entered ball.

SUNDAYSCHOOLREFORM
Services celebrating the forty-third anniversary of the passrate of the Rev. William T. Dixon, D. D., of the Concord Baptist church of Christ in Brooklyn, began last Friday night at the regular weekly prayer meeting and concluded before a large audience Sunday night. At the Sunday morning services Pastor Dixon preached a special sermon. Rev. James H. Gordon, superintendent of the Brooklyn Howard Colored Orphanage, led a service of added emphasis during the pastor for the wisdom displayed during his pastorate of Concord for forty-three years.
The Sunday school assembled in goodly numbers at 2:30 in the afternoon and had one of the most helpful sessions since rally day. The Christian Endeavor Society has introduced a new feature for their exercises on the third Sunday in the month by giving a sacred concert. The exercises Sunday night began at 0 o'clock, the program being in charge of Miss Irene Henry, the music committee. Among those who took part were Miss Augusta Accope, Mr. J. Thomas Tarner, ex-superintendent of Bridge street A. M. E. Sunday school; Prof. J. F. R. Wilson, Messrs W. E. Tyler and E. L. Faulcon, Miss Irene Henry, Mr. Andrew J. Van Keen and Miss Edna Springs. At the conclusion of the program Miss Irene Henry, the Endeavor, presented Dr. Dixon with a bouquet of forty-three roses.
At 7:35 Dr. Dixon, followed by the deacon, accorded the pulpit to preschew his 43d annual sermon and make his report. The board of trustees, Sunday school superintendent and church clerk occupied seats upon the lower platforms and the pastor's reception committee. Forget-me-not Floral Club and deaconesses occupied the front seats in the center.
Pastor Dixon selected his text from the Gospel by John, 5:41. "I receive not honor from men." Referring to his early ministry, Dr. Dixon said that he has always endeavored to give the people the truth, honor or no honor. "Old Canton street," said he, "is the battle ground of the stormy days of my ministry, when few loved the courses of Bison and my life was threatened for preaching the truth: but those days have passed and we now enjoy more fully our religious life." Dr. Dixon's annual report showed that from October 15, 1903, to October 21, 1906, there were received into the church by baptism 15, 1905; by restoration 1; by dismised by letter 22; by death 23; male members 22; total membership 985. Commenting on the work of the Sunday school, he verily believed, was of divine direction, and that he rejoiced to see this advanced step in Sunday school work when children are promoted from one department

to the other and do not stay in one class from childhood to old age going over the same thing. The school has fifty three officers and teachers, 37 classes and 582 scholars. Of this number 0 were received into the church during the year by baptism. There are in church and five engaged in teaching. The collections amount to $600.01.
Dr. Dixon the year has married 55 couples, preached 122 sermons, made 16 addresses, 281 visits, prayed for 13 children, attended 53 extra meetings, visited 508 sick and preached 96 funerals.
His libors out of town have been in 53 places, such as Philadelphia, Pa.; Boston, Mass.; New York; St. Louis; L. I.; Norwich, Conn.; Newark, Orange and Jersey City, N. J., and before the Supreme Court.
Speaking of ex Secretary Charles H. Bullock of the Carleton avenue Branch of the Young Men's Christian Association, he said that Mr. Bullock's departure from our city was deeply regretted, as he was a young man of exceptional qualities for Y. M. C. A. work, but his counterpart is found in our present secretary, R. P. Hamlin. The work of the Northern Federation of "Women's Clubs, the leadermen," Mrs. Alice W. Wiley, was extended also by institutions: Mothers' Day Nursery, Lincoln Free Kindergarten, Brooklyn Howard Colord Orphan Anamay, Y. M. C. A. and W. Y. C. A. The pastor's relief committee received

untinted praise for the many favors bestowed upon him, Mr. Charles J. Crowder is president of the committee and has the best interest of all departments of the church at heart. As a member of the trustee board Mr. Crowder's work merits the highest approval for the business features which he has introduced. This committee, which has for its main object the care of the pastor's personal needs in his ministerial work, was first proposed by Mrs. Mary J. Zeno, who communicated her plans to Mr. Charles J. Crowder and others, who agreed with her, and the result was the formation of the present organization. Their gift to Dr. Dixon Sunday night was a purse of $40, which was presented to Mrs. Crowder. Mrs. Fannie E. Lawrence, behead of the Easter Bell Club, of which she is president, presented to the pastor a bouquet of 43 roses, as did also the Forget-me-not Floral Club.
In making the financial report the pastor gave great credit to the board of trustees for the careful and correct accounting of the money contributed. Mr. Graham II. Carter is secretary of the board of trustees, and his work in that capacity for upwards of 23 years has been of the most praiseworthy character. He is exact in his figures and renders monthly and yearly reports to the church. The annual report is printed and distributed among the members of the church and congregation, so that each member may see where the money goes. From all sources have been over $11,840.

Whites Charged With Midwesterners
Blacks With Murder.
ATLANTA, Ga., October 22—The most
violent discrimination is being made in
the courts here between the whites and
Afro-Americans who were arrested for
complicity in the riots in September.
Forty Afro-Americans are now in jail,
charged with aiding in' the shooting of
Officer Hearn. The charge against them
is murder in the first degree.
Twenty whites are in jail charged
parely with rioting, which is only a
midwesterner. Yet they or their comrades
are guilty of the deaths of nearly 20
Afro-Americans.

HOWARD'S FACULTY
Dr. Tunnell Takes Chair of History
Number of Other Changes.
From the Howard University Journal.
Prof. George M. Lightfoot has been appointed to the chair of Latin in the College of Arts and Sciences. Prof. Lightfoot has had a most successful career as instructor in Latin in the preparatory department, and his appointment in the college gives pleasure to every student of Latin. He has rare ability as a teacher.
Dr. Herbert Clay Scurlock, so favorably known through his conduct of the college classes in physics and chemistry during the school year of 1904-5, succeeds Dr. Whitmore. Prof. Scurlock has a wide knowledge of things scientific.
The Rev. William V. Tunnell takes charge of the chair of history in the College of Arts and Sciences. Prof. Tunnell is a professor of history, closing, and the University is fortunate in securing the services of one so able. These appointments will relieve the conditions heretofore existing in the College of Arts and Sciences. Dr. Baldwin and Prof. C. C. Deeb, both whom were severely taxed, are now relieved of the work in Latin and history respectively. This will allow an extension of the courses, not only in these subjects, but in other areas, to English literature and Greek literature. This extension becomes now even more necessary because of the increasing number of students. The trustees were happy to allow the department in the representative department of the university. Miss Lula. Vera Childers succeeds Mrs. Pelham as University Director of Music. Mrs. Pelham was happy to allow the Conservatory of Music and came from Knoxville college last year to Howard as instructor in music and methods in the Teacher's college. Her splendid readiness last spring of Mendelssohn's "Ellijah" gave her a reputation in the musical world.
