HALL'S NEW SERVICE. oling Good Expert Work for the Census Bureau. WASHINGTON. January 21.--A very interesting bulletin has just been issued by the Census Bureau on the "Clay Products of the United States." The report is published under the name of Mr. Charles E. Hall, an Afro-American from Illinois and a protege of Senator A. J. Hopkins. Mr. Hall was the first Afro-American clerk appointed in the Census Bureau and is the first one to receive credit from this source for a report touching on the commercial interests of the country. The report is a discussion of the operations of the brick, tile, pottery and term-cotta manufactories of the United States and will be considered as an authority by those engaged in such manufactures. It was upon the solicitation of Mr. Hall that the Census Bureau compiled and published special bulletin No. 8. "Negroes in the United States," the first authentic compilation of statistics issued on this subject by the United States Government. PHILIPPINE ORDER CHANGED Two Troops of Cavalry to Remain in This Country—All Others to Go to Manila. WASHINGTON, January 19. Orders were prepared at the War Department which modify those of December 31, which directed that all the Negro soldiers in this country be sent to the Philippines, in such a way that two troops of Negro cavalry will be left in this country after the three colored regiments have gone across the Pacific. One of these troops will be stationed at Fort Riley and one at Fort Leavenworth. In addition to this it has been virtually decided to relieve the detachment of white soldiers at the Military Academy at West Point with blacks. It is suspected that the presence of the white soldiers at West Point has been unsatisfactory, not only to the soldiers themselves, among whom there has been a serious increase in desertions, but to the superintendent and officers of the academy. The relief of the present West Point detachment will take place by degrees and the white soldiers will probably not be replaced entirely by the colored ones for many months. The Negroes who will remain behind while their regime is sent on to the Philippines will be form men; that is, men who he do not intend of their enlistments, do not intend to reer set.

DISUNITED PYTHIAN KNIGHTS MAY COME TOGETHER AGAIN Bishop Handy has Slight Stroke of Paralysis, but Recovering—In 80 Years Old. BALTIMORE, January 23.—Representatives of the Supreme Lodge, Knights of Pythias of the Eastern and Western Hemispheres, and the Supreme Lodge, Knights of Pythias, North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa and Australia, will meet in this city next Tuesday in an effort* unite the two factions. There have been two factions in the order since 1889, when a disagreement over the question of endowments arose. W. Ashble Hawkins of Baltimore, and S. W. Stork of West Virginia, the respective Supreme Chancellors, have exchanged considerable correspondence, centrally concerning the new compact, of which both are heartily in favor. There will be five representatives on each side, headed by the respective Supreme Chancellors, and it is said the prospects for coalition are excellent. Bishop James A. Handy of the A. M. E. church, who recently sustained a slight stroke of paralysis at his home here, is improving. He has just passed his eighteenth birthday. DUE PROCESS OF LAW. Former Secretary Long Thinks the President was Hasty in the Discharge Order. BOSTON, January 19.—"The Brownsville incident" was discussed by ex-Secretary of the Navy John D. Long at a dinner of the Massachusetts Club, an organization of prominent Republicans, here today. Mr. Long was Secretary of the Navy both during President McKinley's Administration and while President Roosevelt completed the term of his predecessor, and also in the early part of the present Administration. "It is often asked," said Mr. Long, "what actuated the President to such an unlimited sweep which, without a hearing of the parties accused, inflicted severe punishment not only on those suspected of guilt though not proved guilty on trial, but also, if there were guilty ones, on innocent and guilty alike. "It has occurred to me that the reason is perhaps to be found in the impulsive nature of the President, whose impulses always toward the right, are not always directed with sufficient consideration. No President has been more emphatic of his assertion of the rights and political equality of the Negro, for whose sake he has braved criticism and contumely. His righteous courtesy to Booker Washington in inviting him to his dinner table, and his, mistaken, I think, insistence in forcing Crum upon the City of Charleston, are instances in 'point. They brought upon him an avalanche of unjust abuse which he met with unswerving fidelity to his convictions. "What more natural than that, when occasion came, he should seize it to show that he is as quick to discipline the Negro citizen as to defend him, and that he does not propose to make fish of one race and fowl of the other. It was an honest, if a hasty, impulse. Senator Spooner hits the nail on the head, but really knocks the bottom out of his own long and brilliant speech in defense of the President, when he says he wishes that the President's action had been a little more carefully considered. The instinctive feeling of the people, whatever may be the precise letter of the law or the constitutional limitation, is that no man shall be adjudged guilty without a hearing, and that innocent men shall not be punished for the guilt of those for whom their only responsibility is that they are doing duty in the same organization. It is a mere play on words to say that a soldier's dismissal without honor, especially after long years of faithful and gallant service and without an opportunity to prove his innocence, is not a punishent act—indeed, one of the moverst punishments. The stain lasts for life. "Everybody knows that had time been taken, had efficient means of detection been set at work, had advantage been taken of the leaks which are sure to open in a matter of which so many are claimed to have had knowledge, the truth could have been got at and the offenders found out. A military officer, too, from his very training, is the last man in the world to get down to detective work. He commands, he does not ferret. "Of course, it is right and fitting that, in the present posture of the matter, Congress should, as now proposed, have a thorough investigation of the facts with a full hearing of all whose rights and fortunes are involved, and, if innocent men have suffered, do them justice." SURRENDER TO ROOSEVELT. WASHINGTON. January 21.—The surrender of the Republican opponents of the President's action in the Brownsville affair was recorded in the Senate to-day when Senator Foraker's substitute resolution was received. This resolution, agreed upon as a compromise, is as follows: Resolved. That without questioning the legality or justice of any act of the President in relation thereto, the Committee on Military Affairs is hereby authorized and directed, by subcommittee or otherwise, to take and have printed testimony for the purpose of ascertaining all the facts with reference to or connected with the affray at Brownsville, Texas, on the night of August 13-14, 1900. Said committee is authorized to seek for persons and papers, to administer oaths to, bring affray, or receive of the Senate, and, if deemed advisable, at Brownsville or elsewhere, the expenses of the investigation to be paid from the contigent funds of the Senate. The resolution is identical with that introduced by Senator Foraker on December 19 last, except for the declaration against raising the question of legality of the President's act. The words "without questioning the legality of any act of the President in relation then to" were inserted as the result of the conferences called to harmonize the differences of Republican Senators after the introduction by Senator Blackburn of his amendment to indorse the President. Mr. Foraker said that he believed that the present change did not in any way alter the effect of his previous resolution or narrow the scope of the proposed inquiry. "When the facts are ascertained," he continued, "we will be in the situation of not having raised the legality of the President's act in any way, and we will not be precluded in any way." Senator Lodge expressed his entire satisfaction with the modified resolution, which meant that the President had accepted it, and withdrew his pending amendment to the original Foraker resolution. Mr. Bacon insisted that the word "denying" should be added to the language of the resolution, so as to make it read "not questioning or denying the right of the President," &c. Mr. Lodge said he saw no need for this change. Senator Blackburn, the author of the much-discussed amendment, asserted that the modified resolution was amply satisfactory to him. "There is not a shadow of difference" he maintained, "between the amendment which I offered and the modification to the resolution which is now proposed." He claimed credit for securing the change. Then, when a vote seemed likely, Tillman started the debate which sent the revolution over for the day. Business League at Hampton. Mr. Fred R. Moore, organizer for the Mercer Business League was in Hampton on Wednesday and succeeded in organizing a local branch of the League here with the following well-known business men: offi- cers: W. F. BY HIS IRATE COLLEAGUES In Secret Session They Take the Offender on Their Laps and Apply the Blipper. From The New York Times. WASHINGTON, January 21.—This was a historic day in the Senate—the day of the "Trimming of Tillman." The Senate, which has trimmed so many unconventional statements, has sat for years impotently watching Tillman's pitchfork charges. To-day it devoted itself to the task of proving that not even Tillman can rise superior to its power of corraling and branding wild steers. At the close, for the first time in his life, Tillman arrose and apologized. He not only apologized, but he agreed to suppress a speech he had made and keep it out of The Record. It has taken the Senate a long time to get around to the trimming of Tillman, but once it applied itself to the job it was as thorough and workmanlike as ever was done in the Senate. Tillman had delivered a speech in which he outdid himself. He compared several Senators by name to minstrel performers, cataloguing their qualifications and assigning each to his place in line. Then, in reply to the excoriation given him by Spooner the other day for his action and language regarding luchings and mob violence, he went even further than he has gone before, and boasted that as Governor of South Carolina he would have headed a mob. Hilherto these speeches have been listened to in scandalized silence. This was the last straw. During the latter part of the speech the venerable Teller arose on the Democratic side and began to circulate around, first on his own side and then crossing over to the Republican side. He was arranging for the Trimming of Tillman. The scheme was for a secret session, at which Tillman should receive everybody's candid opinion of him in a way that would bore its way through the hide of a rhinoceros. This was carried out, and in secret session Senator after Senator arose and fell upon Tillman, hip and thigh. The discussion was over whether Tillman's speech should be stricken from the records or not. The men whom he had ridiculed opposed this, because each of them wanted to get up in open session and publicly flay Tillman, under pretext of replying to it. They made no bones about it, but proclaimed their intention. After an hour and a half of this the doors were opened and Tillman made his record-breaking apology. He was not altogether tamed yet, for though his apology was humble and abject about two thirds of the way, he closed with an old-time Tillmanace fling to the effect that those who didn't like his ways could lump them. MUSKOGEE IS GREAT. Afro-Americans are Represented in All of the Town's Life. MUSKOGEE, I. T., January 19. -Since Tir Anz has become so widely circulated in this city, through the efforts of your able representative, Mr. Lovall, permit me to tell your readers what a great people in a great town are going to do. Muskogee, the home of the Dames Commission and the Union Agency, is one of the most widely advertised towns in the country. Its population is made up of people from every State and Territory in the Union, and they are an energetic people. In every line of business and in the professions the Afro-American people are well represented. Socially Muckgore is far ahead of any other town in the new State. The Kohler Literary and Municipal Club, the Coterie Literary Society and the Indiana Social Club furnish the amusement for the town. The latter is an organization of young people, having their own club rooms, located in one of the principal Bus city churches. KING OF SOUTHERN CRACKERS SENATOR TILLMAN DESCRIBED AS AN INTELLECTUAL SAVAGE. Tremendous Popular Interest Displayed in Senate Debates on the Brownsville and Race Question Which is Significant --- Senator Paterson's Splendid Address and Friendly Warning to the Misguided Democrats of the South—Only Northern Democrats in the Senate. WASHINGTON, January 21.—The debate on the Brownsville resolution has now occupied the attention of the Senate and the country for more than two weeks. And still the interest gaps in that body and in the country at large in the subject. One must go back for a generation to parallel such scenes as one has seen for a fortnight, for almost every day of that time at the Capitol. The galleries of the Senate are crowded with eager throngs of people of both races, hanging with almost breathless attention on the speeches. Every foot of space has been occupied by hundreds within the galleries, while other hundreds stand in line waiting patiently for a chance to get inside. On one day no less a personage than Cardinal Gibbons occupied a seat in the Senate gallery, an attentive Monitor of the great speech of Senator Spooner, and on another day the daughter of the President, with a company of ladies, appeared in the same gallery, to listen to the speech of Senator Tillman arraigning the Chief Magistrate of the Republic in a bitter and picturesque argument. At one time this immense crowd in the galleries broke into applause at remarks which asserted the right of white supremacy, at another it broke into applause at remarks which claimed for the colored people of the South and the Nation equality before the law and an opportunity to make the most of themselves in this boasted free Republic. Great, antagonistic principles of justice and liberty were struggling for mastery on the floor of the Senate, and they were struggling likewise for mastery in the galleries. The air is charged heavily with the electric fires of right and wrong inside of the Capitol during these eventful weeks of the great debate. It all seemed at times like a chapter torn from the tremendous history of the tremendous anti-slavery period before and immediately following the war for the Union. It has been the one great subject which has engrossed the colored people of Washington during this time, and we think that it has been the one great subject which has held the white people also. It has filled the newspapers of the city, and morning after morning people wake to examine those papers for news of the great struggle in the Senate as they awake to resume the duties of the day. Plainly during the weeks since the President first issued his Draconian order discharging without honor and without trial of any kind 167 soldiers of the 25th U. S. Infantry from the army, barring them forever from reinforcement in the army and navy and from all employment in any capacity whatever under the National government, there has plainly occurred a recruidence of the race question in the country. Not for at least a score of years has that question seemed so vitally active, so robustly alive as at the present moment in this year of grace in those United States of America. Almost it appears to us at times as if the colored people were at the end of the long and miserable lane of this reactionary period in the Republic, so close at moments seem the movement, the path which is to carry them back to their lost rights under the Constitution through the powerful aid of a regenerated public opinion in, the North. Senator Tillman's speech constitutes one of the curiosities of the great debate. For it shows that his hatred of the colored neoile is exceeded by his hatred of the President. He allied himself with Senator Foraker as counsel in the Senate for the discharged colored soldiers. By that act he placed himself in opposition to the whole body of his Southern colleagues in the Senate, in opposition to the vote of the upper branch of the South Carolina Legislature, and in a word to the entire South. He stood absolutely alone as a representative of that section in this discussion, attacking the President with a passion of argument and of hate which must make his speech of two hours long to be remembered by the Senate and the occupant of the White House. But it was curious, most curious, to watch his attempts to make room in this memorable speech of his for not only his hatred of his old enemy, Theodore Roosevelt, but for his hardly less bitter hatred of the colored people of the country. Side by side with brutal frankness and ferocity he jammed together, check-by-jowl these two supreme passions in which his tiger-like life moves and has its being. In one paragraph he denounces the men for whom he was speaking as a lot of cutthroats and murderers, and the President for discharging the innocent among them with the guilty. In one breath he justified the lynching of Negroes for rape of white women and in the next he denounced the act of the President in discharging without honor and without trial of any kind the 167 soldiers of the 25th U. S. Infantry as an act of executive lynch law! Much, of the severity of his criticism of the arbitrary act of the President was just, but from his mouth it sounded strange, singularly, self-stultifying and hypocritically strange. The violent struggles of the two hatreds in the heart of the man were enough at times to make the whole tribe of human hyenas split their savage sides with ferocious laughter. The South Carolina Senator had enraged for the first time in the simple and murderous directness and frankness of his nature a dual role of contradictory purposes and passions and he played both parts without the slightest attempt on his part to disguise the identity of the actor. He was the bitter enemy of the President and the bitter enemy of the colored race at one and the same time. He was throughout the grim, the pictureque, the brutal king of the Southern Crackern, the high priest and prophet of the "poor white tranh." Brains he has undoubtedly, and courage, a certain reckless, wild beast sort of courage, if you will, but courage just the same, and a virility of hatred and brutality which exists only in the breasts of lawless and savage men. For this man albeit a Senator of the United States belongs emphatically and peculiarly, to that terrible brood of men, men with the hearts of wild beasts and the brains of wild men, engaged at the bottom of a half civilized and cruel society. The king of this savage, submerged class in the South has reached the top. But this change has not changed his nature, which is the same of his group. He ty, violence will remain under all outward pump, pride and position of the white as of the red warrior in America, whether located in South Carolina or Arizona, at the hand of their respective tribes or seated in state in the Senate on Capitol Hill itself. One of the most important and highly significant features of the great debate was the admirable speech of Senator Patterson of Colorado, in reply to Senator Tillman's characteristically frank and brutal avowals on the race question. Nothing could have been finer than the spirit which breathed through the reminiscent of Senator Patterson, who is an admirable example of the American gentleman and scholar in public life. He gave not only Senator Tillman warning, but served notice at the same time on the Democratic party of the South that the Democrat party of the North would not accept the un-American doctrine which denies to American citizens in the South equality of rights and opportunities on account of their race and color, which makes one law for one race and another law, for the other race in total disregard of the Constitution of the United States, which deprives some men because they are black and regardless of their qualifications, educational and property of the right to education and government, and grants other men because they are white regardless of their disqualification, educational and property, the same right to a voice in government. He reminded his Southern colleagues that in the next Congress there would be but two Democratic members of the Senate from the North, and that unless the Democratic party of the South disown and denounce such sentiments as those preached from one end of the country to the other and on the floor of the Senate itself by Senator Tillman, within four years there would be presented in that chamber the and sight of a solid North arrayed against a solid South in the membership of the National Senate. He appealed to his brethren from the South to do what in them lies to avert by their words and action the appearance of such an omnious line of sectionalism in the Senate and in the country. We regret to see such a liberal statesman and Democrat leave the Senate. But Senator Patterson is now serving his last term in the Senate. His Republican successor has already been elected. But more of the great debate has been resolved. H. G. Hammond SENATOR FORAKER INCREDULOUS The White South Jabilant Over Exile of the Four Regiments. WASHINGTON, January 5—As if in answer to the sentiment expressed in various parts of the United States, especially in the South, against having Negro soldiers wearing the uniform of the regular service stationed in such sections, Secretary Taft of the War Department to-day directed that they all be transferred to the Philippines. One colored regiment, the Twenty-fourth Infantry, is in the Philippines now, and the other three colored regiments in the service, the Twenty-fifth Infantry, which was involved in the Brownville riots, and the Ninth and Tenth cavalry—the letter being the troop which saved the Rough Riders at San Juan Hill—will be sent to our Eastern Although Secretary Taft felt, called upon to say after the issuance of his order providing for the transfer of all the Negro soldiers to the Philippines that it had nothing to do with nor was caused by the controversy in respect of the Brownsville riots, there is reason to believe that the criticism to which the Administration has been subjected for stationing Negro soldiers in the South had much to do with this action. Southerners in Congress, it is apparent, are highly pleased that no more colored regiments will be sent to their section. The fact is, however, that Secretary Taft has not hitherto favored sending colored soldiers to the Philippines for reasons which he learned when he was there. Senator Foraker was informed of Secretary Taft's order, but he declined to comment upon it, except to appear incredulous that Taft should have referred to the Brownsville incident. A SOUTHERN VIEW OF IT. Atlanta Editor Wants All Afro- American Troops Discharged. From The Atlanta Constitution. There is accumulating evidence that the best thing for the United States govern- ment to do is to dismiss from the service all the Negro troops. All this questioning and investigation in the case of the President's action respecting the Twenty-fifth Infantry battalion at Brownsville, Texas; the consideration shown the discharged troops by certain misguided cranks in certain communities; and, finally, the efforts of some people to make heroes out of them, has had the effect of bringing out the worst there is in the Negro soldiers, and scarcely a day passes but there is a report of some crime for which one or more of these uniformed black troopers is responsible. What does this show? Is it not evidence of the fact that wholesome punishment, as administered by the President in the Brownsville case, has no effect upon them? Is it not apparent from the daily record that their savage natures only find relief in renewed outbreaks? in further actual expressions of their contempt for law? Perhaps the responsibility, in a large measure, for these continued and repeated crimes, as we have shown, rests elsewhere. A shout of "Bravo" to the assassin will hasten the repetition of his crime. The Negro troops, as Representative Slayden, of Texas, said in a recent speech before Congress, have shown themselves unfit for service in the army. It is not that they are lacking in bravery, but that the class of Negroes entering the army is that farthest removed from respect for law and order. This same Twenty-fifth Infantry which "shot up" the town of Brownsville, Texas, has had a particularly vicious record. Giving some facts from its history, Congressman Slayden said that while stationed at Fort Meade, S. D., in the summer of 1885, a corporal of that regiment murdered a citizen and the people of the community lynched the murderer. About three weeks after the lynching fifteen or twenty Negro soldiers cailed and "shot up" the town of Sturgis, which is only a mile and a half from the post. According to Mr. Slayden's narrative, Winnemunca, Nev., was the next scene of a criminal outbreak by this regiment, then came the outbreak from Niobara, Neh., where a "wanton and cold blooded murder" was committed. There has been too much of this sort of thing in the past; the recent agitation on the part of misguided sympathizers with the Brownville assassins has served but to increase it. The war department evidently saw the necessity of taking some repressive measures when it issued the order sending all the Negro troops in the country to the Philippines. But that was only the second best plan. There is but one way to get rid of this turbulent and destructive element in the army, and that is to dismiss all the Negro troops from the service. As long as they are kept there to be coddled and applauded by misguided cranks whenever they break forth in some no PRESIDENT STANDS BY DISCHARGE No Redressance to Innocent Men in Blind-charged Troops—Mess of New Evidence Submitted in Senate—Nothing New. WASHINGTON, January 11.—President Roosevelt has again modified his Brownsville order. He is satisfied that the effect of his order dismissing these men without honor was not to bar them from all civil employment, and therefore has rescinded that part of it, saying: "The additional evidence thus taken renders it in my opinion impossible to question the conulations upon which my order was based. I have gone most carefully over every issue of law and fact that has been raised. I am now satisfied that the effect of my order dismissing these men without honor was not to bar them from all civil employment under the Government, and therefore that the part of the order which consisted of a declaration to this effect was lacking in validity, and I have directed that such portion be revoked. As to the rest of the order, dismissing the individuals in question without honor, and declaring the effect of such discharge under the law and regulations to be a bar to their future re-enlistment either, in the army or the navy, there is no doubt of my Constitutional and legal power. The order was within my discretion, under the Constitution and the laws, and cannot be reviewed or reversed save by another executive order. The facts did not merely warrant the action I took—they rendered such action imperative unless I was to prove false to my awnon duty. "If any one of the men discharged hereafter show to my satisfaction that he is clear of guilt, or of shielding the guilty, I will take what action is warranted; but the circumstances I have above detailed most certainly put upon any such man the burden of thus clearing himself." Discussing the message in the Senate, Mr. Lodge expressed a desire that the message and evidence be printed in the Record, commenting that there was no way so successfully to conceal information as to print it as a document, but he recognised that in the present instance the exhibits were too long. Mr. Foraker, saying he was not going to speak, but a few remarks, observed that the testimony amounted to a great deal, "for the President tells us it is conclusive. But it does not be the objection I have had from the beginning of this proceeding. What I have been trying to contend for, and I hope I will be successful, is to secure a hearing for the men charged with this serious crime. "This testimony has been taken, as the other was, behind closed doors, without anybody representing the men. That is the reason I shall not desist, notwithstanding what the President has said as to the character of it, from pressing for an investigation of the subject where especially the men who are charged with the crimes of murder, perjury, and conspiracy can be heard, to the end that if they can establish any facts in their favor they may have an opportunity to do so." Mr. Foraker added that he should reserve his discussion of the new evidence submitted by the President until after the investigation "if we shall order one, to be made in accordance with the spirit of American institutions, 'where every man, no matter how humble he may be, shall have an opportunity to be heard.' After that investigation, Mr. Foraker said, he should have something to say about the present testimony. Later Mr. Foraker went to the clerk's desk and unwrapped the package, and took from the cigar-box for a thorough inspection the bullets and shells the President had sent. TILLMAN CALLED A LUNATIC. From The New York Times. LONDON, January 14—The St. James's Gazette, apropos of Senator Tillman's recent speech on the Negro question, dubs him a raving lunatic, and then remarks: "We know very well what it is to suffer from that verbal hemorrhage of demagogues for which no styptic can apparently be found, and we have seen the damage that is done by their frothy violence. But America once more seems in a fair way to lick creation even in this respect. Tillman at all events is, if no more, primus inter pares." "It seems probable that even in South Carolina Tillman has no solid backing for his crazy violence, and that American opinion as a where entirely repudiates his manifesto. But he has the attraction of sensationalism and his position as a Senator. His lectures are largely attended, his speeches published far and wide, and he succeeds in so inflaming opinion on both sides as to render an extremely difficult problem unanswerable than ever. Ex uno discourses—there should be padded cell for the Tillmans of the world in any state approaching utopianism." The St. James's broadly intimates that Great Britain could furnish an excellently qualified running mate for Tillman in the person of Keir Hardie, whose latest dictum is that Socialism is going to get into the saddle and ride the State. An Prophet of Prejudice. Not Justice. From The New York World. Even though Senator Tillman is convinced that President Roosevelt's action against the men of the Twenty-fifth Infantry "is nothing more nor less than lynching," Senator Tillman during his speech in the Senate could not forget that they are Negroes. From that moment common sense quit. In his hatred of the colored man he was playing South Carolina politics just as Senator Foraker in his way plays anti-Roosevelt politics in appealing to the Republican Negro's prejudices. So long as the case of the Twenty-fifth Infantry has such champions President Roosevelt may rest secure and injustice will not be righted. The question of color has absolutely nothing to do with the matter. Whether the discharged soldiers are black or white, yellow or brown, does not affect in the slightest their rights to fair treatment. Men not charged with participating in the Brownville riot, men admitted to be innocent of wrongdoing, have been convicted without proof and disgraced for all time, while the real criminals have been turned loose without punishment. The whole question is one of simple justice. Scheming politicians and loud-mouthed demagogues who seek to turn the Negro issue to their own advantage only serve to strengthen President Roosevelt's position and to prevent a fair and impartial consideration of the Twenty-fifth Infantry case. As a Burat Cork Artist. The Hon. Benjamin Ryan Tillman's performance in the Senate Saturday must have reminded the spectators of the old-fashioned Negro minstrel lecturer, the mable humorist who pounded the table with his voluminous umbrella and emitted a series of mingled jokes and highfalutin. How thoroughly successful from an artistic point of view Mr. Tillman's show was may be judged from the fact that the "Niggers" in the gallery laughed heartily at the minstrel. They accepted his "offering" as a bit of detached comic variety. To treat legal and constitutional questions, grave questions of the right of the citizen and the powers of the Executive, now in the vein of Ancient Piatol, now in the vein of Coqard, is among the many privileges of Mr. Tillman's large license. He is a law unto himself and amendment. The burnt cork artist noble distinction ambition. THE NEW YORK AGE: THURSDAY, JANUARY 24. WASHINGTON, January 18.—There is no getting away from the fact that President Roosevelt faces a crisis in his political career. It is a crisis that is regarded as involving in some degree, perhaps to a great degree, the successful continuance of Republican rule. More than once since he attained his present high office Mr. Roosevelt has found himself out of harmony with the legislative representatives of his party, but the differences involved have never presented themselves in the form of the direct question whether he should be sustained or repudiated by his party associates. The issue has now been squirrelly put and unless conditions change by Monday the Republican members of the United States Senate will find themselves forced into the position of declaring that the President did or did not violate the Constitution and the statutes in summarily discharging "without honor" all the enlisted men of three companies of a Negro regiment. An overwhelming majority of Republican Senators did not wish to be placed officially on record as to whether the President's action was right or wrong, for they hold that it was decidedly wrong. It is a peculiar and interesting situation. It marks the culmination of a growing unrest among members of Congress over the contention that President Roosevelt has usurped the rights vested in the legislative branch of the Government. Its most striking peculiarity lies in the fact that a majority of Republican Senators are opposed to indoloring the action of the President in dismissing the New Jersey governor without giving them the opportunity of being while a majority of the Democratic Senate members of whom have heretofore been most with indignation over alleged executive usurpation, are anxious to give flat-footed approval to everything Mr. Roosevelt has done in dealing with the Brownsville incident. The Democratic Senators realize the commanding position which they occupy. They are checking delicately and saying that they have put their Republican associates in a hole. The Republicans admit it. They have gone to the extreme of making personal appeals to Democratic leaders to prevent the resolution offered by Senate Blockbuster from taking the constitutionality and legitimacy of the President's course in the Brownville affair. But the Democrats will have none of it. They are standing firm. "The Republicans," they say, "must come with us or let the country witness the spectacle of the Democratic party supporting Theodore Roosevelt in the face of his repudiation by those of his own political kind." BROWNSVILLE CASE IN SENATE Diamiscal Based on a Crime Unreco nised in Our Judicial System. From The New York Sun. WASHINGTON, January 10—Upon one point in the Brownsville matter there is general agreement. That is that it involves two questions, one of fact and one of law. There is also general agreement upon a second question, namely, that the question of fact should be fully investigated. The question of law will probably be well threshed out, but even Senator Lodge approves an investigation of the facts, although his opinion seems to be that the scope of the investigation should be limited. "The question of fact," says Senator Lodge, "is as to who committed or took part in the shooting at Brownsville on August 13—not what individuals, but what groups or bands of persons did the shooting." This proposition limits unduly the scope of the question. It is of very great importance to ascertain, if possible, what particular individuals were active in the affair. At the bottom of it all there lies a question of justice to individuals. The innocent should be cleared and the guilty should be punished. There is something more in the case than a mere issue between the soldiers of the post, as a whole, and the citizens of Brownville. Assuming that the shooting was done by soldiers there still remains the question of individual guilt and individual innocence. There is no crime in membership in a regiment, a battalion or a company in which there are undetected criminals. None will deny that there is a flagrant miscarriage of justice if, without trial by civil court or by military court-martial, innocent men are dismissed from the service to live their lives under an unproved charge of murder, miscarriage. inspiration of telony or perjury. The dismissal of these men "without them" is based on an assumption that all are guilded of one or more of these of fences, although by reason of an allegue "conspiracy of silence," a crime unrecei nized in our judicial system, it has been impossible to have their guilt. Unless it be admitted that our legal system, both civil and military, is fundamentally weak, it must be admitted that there is at least a reasonable ground, for doubt of the guilt of some, if not all, of these men. Thirteen of them were arrested and im- prisoned, and a local Grand Jury, having every possible desire to run down the offenders, found no ground of indictment against any of them. Yet among the number were men who, if not themselves active participants in the affair, must have known who some of the offenders were if the deed was done by soldiers. Some if not all of them were on guard when the shooting was done. Army officers, including the Inspector-General in person, investigated, but were no more successful than the Grand Jury had been. They got no further than a vagabound in a "conspiracy of silence" and found no evidence on which to bring the men before a court-marital for trial. On an assumption, resting on suspicion and not on evidence, that all had guilty knowledge of the guilt of a few, the entire battalion was branded and dismissed from the service and prohibited from re-elisting. They were dismissed without that "trial according to law" which the Supreme Court of the United States has declared to be the "birthright of every American citizen when charged with crime." These men were charged with crime. Otherwise their dismissal is indefensible, an act of despotism. The establishment of the truth in this case is now a matter of the much importance to the author of the order of dismissal as it is to the soldiers who, on suspicion only, are "discharged without honor."

Had it been an evening party given by some individual, with a selec list of friends present the arrangements could not have been more elaborate or more neatly carried out, than were those which delighted the many guests of this popular association. The hall had been decorated with American flags and the occupants of the boxes had their names displayed on a card, around which were draped flags and bunting. The boxes thus designated were as follows Officials of the Pullman Company and their friends. The City Press box was filled with visitors and friends of the association. THE NEW YORK AG, Richmond Planet, of Richmond, and The Freeman, of Indianapolis, three Afro-American newspapers, had a box which was occupied by representatives of the papers. The president of the association, Mr. E. V. Smith and wife and friends, M. E. V. Williams, wife of first vice-president, Mrs. C. A. Henry, Mrs. Harry Tolson, Mrs. Icaw Cawaln, Mr. H. G. Paris, Mrs. Bott and gister, Miss Paris, Miss Cora Johnson, occupied the next box. The other boxes were the Hotel Macco, Hotel Marshall, and Astoria Cafe, Miss Hallie L.

The hospitality of the members could not have been free than it was and the guests were free from every care. The association is formed of sixty-five members and the committee in charge of this entertainment was; W. J. Granby, J. Henry Williams, John Johnson, A. C. Howard, C. J. McGriff, Thomas Hall, H. G.

The American Association of Railway Employees is an organization composed of men of good records and department, who are or have been in his employ of the Pullman Company as porters, waiters, cooks and official messengers. Also such who are or have been in the employ of the Pullman Company as porters, waiters, ing car porters, train or depot porters, dining car cooks and waiters. Subway, surface or elevated railway employees are also eligible. The object of the American Association of Railway Employees is to promote industry, to be beneficial and protective and to give more dignity to all such positions on the part of the employees, and to classify such service by those employed in the various branches of railroad us will bestow credit to the Association, and will bring better service and satisfaction to the employer as well. For several years the service of the railway employees has not been of an absolute and satisfactory nature, viz.: That the unclassed, careless employee has broken down the records of the better employee who arrives hard to maintain his good record and position and to command his due respect, which the unclassed does to do. A large proportion of the men in the various branches of railway and Pullman service come very highly recommended to the service from gentlemen's and ladies' private homes, where they have served as butlers, valets, coachmen, etc. These men cannot afford to lose such good reputations and recommendation through the carelessness of a more, inferior employee who does not regard record or reputation, which every man should hold with highest regard, especially those who are obliged to earn their livelihood through this and other legitimate employ. The American Association of Railway Employees shall be a national organization with a body in each Pullman district, or town where there is a diner-car headquarters. These bodies will be designated as District Assemblies and numbered according to their existence. Such assemblies can organize and apply to the association for instruction, credentials, sharteries, etc. After so many assemblies shall have been organized, and have applied for recognition, there will be a convention called. Each assembly will be required to elect so many delegates to the convention. Each assembly will have its own headquarters in each respective district, where all assembly business must be transacted, such head- AFRO-AMERICAN EDITORIAL OPINION BON. C. J.

From The Richmond Planet. It is said that the people or a great many of them are tired of the reign of the present Char of Rusia. The transfer of the distinguished occupant of the White House to that far-away country, with a kingly crown upon his brow would tend to awaken dormant energies and realise that the country is under siege by the importation of one from abroad. We are opposed to President Roosevelt's position on this Brownville question, the question of whether the word for we is in it the essence of a principle, which if carried to its logical conclusion would be lynch-law. It is the sum and substance of all that we have been opposing for more than twenty years and we conclude by saying, "We are opposed to it; but, sir, let the innocent ones go free." To Make a Model City. Make Cadia a model city for her neighboring cities. Give us a mass meeting composed of the best citizens forming a league to break up lawlessness and crime, put down looting and loafers, shut up the dives for educating and training criminals.

Jim Crow Care and Railroad Accidents From The Colorado Springs Enterprise Railroad accidents are becoming so frequent in this country that through passengers, white or colored, travel at the risk of their lives if compelled to occupy the forward and so-called "Jim Crow cars," and we are quite sure that the people of Texas are not compelled to occupy the spirit of humanity that, if given legal right, they would force every colored person, however well clad and deserting, into the forward "Jim Crow" quarters. Let us stop extortion, but let it not be attended with fury, till it is settled, which as in case of the Japanese, are subjecting us to the ridicule of the civilized world. Individual worth and merit, rather than the mere incident of color, must be the basic ingredient for all future white regulation enactments in the future when not color must be the slogan of the future. What Senator Forker Has Done. From The Cleveland Gazette. Senator Foraker has been able to make the president see and admit that he had no legal right to attempt to bar the "discharged without honor" soldiers from future civil employment, and revoke that portion of his drastic "order." Before Mr. Foraker and the senate has done with the Brownville controversy, we are satisfied that there be more backing down admissions and right to power of the president so to do, because Mr. Roosevelt has unquestionably been purposefully mislead from start to date, from beginning to end, in D. C. by prejudiced citizens of that little town, the army and the war department. * Religious Editor's Plea for Harmony From The Christian Index There are some preachers who have ministerial enemies, and they never forgive them. They steal every opportunity to strike them in the dark with the knife of the assassin. They are rantless, and if had the advantage, they would punish their old time enemies. What monstrous hypocrites, Brett, it time to learn ministerial reproachly. See 'E. There must be harmony in a conference or church to secure success. If misunderstandings occur, they should be promptly addressed, and finally told what thing and even Gods "free air," is an evidence that the individual has water on his "brain," "hydrocephalic," and is a true candidate for the insane asylum, or for the mentally ill.

It certainly in most instances leads to increased work and difficulty. There may be certain seasons in which many kinds of work can be performed, but when they be merely dealt with in the religious world; for we have only to look upon the fields, and they will be found to be ready to harvest throughout all seasons. Editor Murphy Disagrees with Senatorial Courtesy. From the Baltimore Afro-American Ledger. The United States Senate has decided that there was no "War of the Rebellion." The late "pleasantness" was only a little "Civil War." At this late day the Senate may call it what it will, but certainly any man or set of men who fired upon the country he called trafrots, and that was what they were no matter how much the present day authorities may modify the term. Arose by any other name would be a sawyer, a trafrotsman, an Avon, and a trafrotson act is just as bad no matter by what name it may be called. Every man who took part in the war of 1861 was a trafrotsman, and nothing can change the act although it may change the name. Two Jobs Collared in Colorado. Through the resignation of one of the guards employed at the county jail, there was a vacancy in the force under Sheriff Alexander Nisbet last week, and it is very gratifying to the colored Republicans of this county that he filled the vacancy with a 10 percent share. So long since this kind of a position has been given us that it is more than mere passing mention that the appointment deserves. We also take occasion to thank County Clerk Vickery for the retention of a colored clerk in his office in the person who was the first to be growing upon colored Republicans will receive a decided check from such actions as these two officials are doing.

Affirm as stoutly as the President and his defenders may that the race question has nothing whatever to do with the discharge of the colored troops, it keeps on intruding into the discussion of that affair. Almost all the President's eulogists in the Senate have been from the South. No man in his senses believes that those Southern Roosevelt purely on the ill-founded question. Their action, like that of the Southern Legislatures which have approved the President's order, is prompted, consequently or not, by the army to be struck at men of the Negro race, whom they would like to see rebuked in their aspirations, and kept out of the army altogether, when then in proposed, as by Aldrich Carter entered, the real inquiry by the Senate into the race question at the South, including the suppression of the votes of qualified colored voters, and the continuation. Why so, if they are consolences of doing absolute justice to the Negro? Information About the Blind Declared by State Commission. It is greatly desired that the census of the blind in New York State, which is now being taken, shall be as accurate and complete as possible. The purpose of this census is primarily to determine the number of blind men and women who are physically capable of engaging in some of the occupations suitable for them and to make recommendations to the Legislature concerning the establishment of industrial schools for the blind. Its secondary object is to learn of blindness in order that the possible occupations may be instituted. It is therefore urgently desired that the names and addresses of all blind persons, whether adults or children, of the possible occupations be sent to the secretary of the Commission at once. As the blind themselves may not learn of this notice, the Commission will be grateful to any one who will send the information to them. In order that they may be properly registered, information can be sent to O. H. BURRIT, Secretary Bittala, N. Y. 72 LYNCHINGS THE PAST YEAR. Only One-third as Many Victims as Fourteen Years Ago. From The Columbia (U.S.) State. From the 235 mob murders of 1892 to the seventy two of last year is certainly an encouraging advance. This means that the mob wrenaked its fury upon less than one third as many victims last year as it did fourteen years ago. Even so late as the first year of this century, 1001, there were 155 mob murders, or nearly twice as many as there were in 1906. In 1903 we find the last record of more than 100 of the mob murders; and we can almost almost count the last time that the record will rise to that height of criminality. There is another encouraging feature in the lynching record for last year. There were no burnings at the stake. The mob has, perhaps, grown at least a little less violent than in the past, cast into the fire after having been murdered, but none. It seems, was burned all over. Discreditable as the record is, there in vet, as we have said, signs of encourag- ement. We have been told that we quite so bloodthirsty, not quite so inhuman. A strong effort for law and order, a stern facing and crushing of the mob spirit, public facing and crushing of the mob spirit, Senator Tillman, keep afloat the assassins of mob, and prompter and surer action on the part of the courts—and lynching will be stamped out in the South, and our people cleansed of the murderous shedding of blood Britain's Unlearned.

But all the good resolutions formed then have come to nothing.

The Jamaica Earthquake. We never understand the incoherence and helplessness of mankind so instantly and thoroughly as in the presence of great movements of natural forces, such as the Chicago fire, the Galveston storm, the San Francisco and the Kingston earthquakes. No human agency amounts to anything whatever in the presence of either of these forces in action. The Kingston earthquake appears to have been, from the reports at hand, as destructive of property if not of life as the San Francisco earthquake. It is a noticeable fact that the earthquake movement is world-wide. Beginning with Mount Pelee, in the French West Indies, five years ago, there have since been manifestations of the movement all around the globe, and scientists predict that the movement has not as yet reached its apogee. The devastation in Kingston and Jamaica has been great in loss of life and property, but as in the case of San Francisco and other like calamities, the world has been quick to respond with such assistance as it could to alleviate the distress of the survivors. The Island of Jamaica has a population of something over 000,000, all but 15,000 being African Negroes, the others being a mixture of all the races of the United States and Europe. It was one of the most beautiful and healthy of the islands of the seas, and was fast becoming a popular Winter resort. Robert E. Leo. The hundredth anniversary of the birth of Robert E. Lee was celebrated on the 19th instant. It is really pitiable that upon such occasions as the celebration of the anniversary of a great Southerner, or the annual gathering of some sort of Southern society, in the North or in the South, so many foolish things should be said, and so many foolish claims of one sort and another should be made, by Southern speakers and writers, who, in the main, go upon the theory that it is best to claim everything in order that what is fair and equitable may be allowed by the high court of public opinion, but very often the preversion or obscuration of the truth to serve a selfish and infamous purpose is present in much that is said in written and oral speech. And it is a noticeable fact that Southern writers and speakers habitually speak of themselves as the Southern people, to the utter exclusion of and without any regard whatever for the vast Afro-American population of the Southern States. This arrogation is as misleading as it is insolent. We naturally have a very high estimate of the personal character and high soldierly qualities of Robert E. Lee. The American people have produced few men of a more home-loving and lovable character than he, a gentleman after the old school, with all of Washington's courtly grace and dignity, and with vastly more of the soldierly qualities. And in his dignified and useful life after the War of the Rebellion, accepting defeat in good part as inseparable from the fortunes of war and observing acupulously, as gentlemen always have and always will, the conditions of his parole, he set an example to the white men of the Southern States which they point to with just admiration and pride, and which it would have been well for them and the Republic if they had followed more acupulously. As a man and as a soldier, in war and in peace, the character of General Lee was one worthy of all admiration, but further than this it is not easy to go without upsetting the ethics governing the relations of the citizen to the State. When a man abjures his allegiance to the Government which he has sworn to defend, as Robert E. Lee had done, he becomes a rebel, and when he turns his sword against his country and seeks to dismember if not to destroy it, he becomes a traitor. Nothing more nor less can be made of such conduct. In seeking to do it, Mr. Thomas Nelson Page makes a failure of it in his article on "Lee in Defeat," in the current issue of The South Atlantic Quarterly. Indeed, Mr. Page is just an hysterical in discussing his subject as was the girl visiting the Chicago Fair in writing home about it, and who expressed her admiration and hysterics by a string like this: "00000 !!!!!!"—only Mr. Page substitutes capital letters, which he scatters with a reckless pen all through his article in the effort to prove that General Lee's "military fame, in the estimation of all unprejudiced critics of the art of war, stands next to that of Hannibal and Alexander, Caesar and Napoleon." Personally, Robert E. Lee was a man of the very highest and best type, and as a general he will rank as among the ablest captains; but that he was a rebel and a traitor neither Thomas Nelson Page nor anybody else, Charles Francis Adams and Theodore Roosevelt included, can obliterate with ink or talk. That he was a slave-holder, without sympathetic in the keat, with the infamous principle of property in man, and finally freed his slaves, and that he strove with surpassing courage and abilities to destroy the Republic that nurtured him, will always detract from his reputation as a man and soldier, and as an example of the highest virtues for the emulation of the youth of the Republic. Those who took part in the War of the Rebellion, under the flag of the Confederate States of America, were rebels and traitors, and having been whipped as rebels they have been traitors ever since, and are traitors now, having refused and refusing to accept the conditions of their surrender—the abolition of slavery and the enfranchisement of the freeman—striving, and having driven, to subvert the three War Amendments to the Federal Constitution, one phase of this fatal blindness to error being stated by John C. Reed, in discussing the "Recent Primary Election in Georgia," in the current issue of The South Atlantic Quarterly, as follows: "Hoke Smith stood for a disfranchisement of the Negro in Georgia like that lately made in other Southern States. He is nearer in his proposal to the Alabama provision than any other. The platform endorses his position fully. From a long life spent in close contact with the white people of the State, I am convinced that at least 90 per cent of all who are free from corporate influence strongly favor this measure. It becomes more and more desirable to use the whites divide upon political issues without danger. That cannot be as long as the Negro vote is considerable." The surrender of Robert E. Lee at Appomattox should have ended the whole controversy over what Thomas Nelson Page calls "a servile population," but it did not. The settlement still rests with the Republic, and not with the States of the South. --- ITroops for the Philippines. The President has modified the order sending all of the soldiers of the Twenty-fifth Infantry, and the Ninth and Tenth Cavalry to the Philippines, where the Twenty-fourth Infantry is already stationed, so that two troops, gathered from the short-term men in all of the regiments, shall remain in this country. One of these troops will be stationed at Fort Riley and one at Fort Leavenworth. Later on a detachment of these troops may relieve the white detachment on service at the West Point Military Academy. Despite the explanations which the War Department has made as to the transfer of these troops to foreign service, or what amounts to that, the impression is abroad that the step was taken as a sort of punishment and in order to meet the prejudice, mainly in the Southern forts, to having these Afro-American soldiers stationed in them. It is unfortunate that the order should create this impression, to which the agitation growing out of the Brownville fractas gives additional color. If black men wearing the uniform of the army of the United States cannot have protection or be allowed to protect themselves from the prejudices and the hoodlumism of the rabble in the United States, and if the Federal Government has the weakness or the cowardice to acknowledge and bow to this sort of thing, what has the Afro-American civilian to expect from the prejudices and hoodlumism of the rabble and the weakness or the cowardice of the Government? It looks as if matters were fast reaching a breaking point. In the administration of, Theodore Roosevelt is the very last place that we should have gone in search of weakness or cowardice or error of judgment in dealing with the Afro-American soldier question, or in dealing with the prejudices and the hoodlumism of the rabble. But this is a queer world, and very queer things bob up in very unspected places. And the Afro-American people had better begin to hang together in wisdom and common sense and in action, as they are and have been hanging separately ever since the base sacrifice of their rights by the Republican cowards and anneals in the compromises of 1875-6 by which Rutherford B. Hayes was declared President of the United States, and inaugurated that policy of hugging and kissing the Democratic South and giving it everything it wanted, as against the loyal Afro-Americans—loyal in the War of the Rebellion to save the Union of the States and loyal in peace in support of Republican men and measures to save the credit and promote the protected industries of the Nation. Ingratitude is the basest of crimes, and the Republican party will some day find that out to its sorrow. The transfer of the four regiments of Afro-American soldiers to the Philippines may be for the good and reasonable causes alleged by the War Department, but all of the circumstances of the situation warrant a different conclusion. Afro-Americans Do Not "Hate" the President. Senator Edward H. Carmack, of Tennessee—who has been retired from public life by the recent primary vote of the Democrats of his State, and, who, if his part in the lynching of three reputable Afro-Americans in the Memphis jail some years ago, when he was editor of The Appeal, was known, would be in any decent condition of society swung up by the neck or compelled to spend a long term in the penitentiary—made a speech on the Browniesville francs, in the Senate, on the 16th instant, in which he said among other vitriolic things: In this case it seems to me that he has acted with remarkable freedom from impulse, with unusually careful deliberation and with anxious effort to do nothing more nor less than complete justice to all concerned. So far as the Negro race is concerned, the only charge that can be justly made against the President is that he has loved the Negro not wisely but too well. There is something pathetic in the President's plaintive recital of all that he has done and attempted for the Negro race. Yet there is no man in this country to-day, not even the Senator from South Carolina, who is so universally and so bitterly hated by the Negroes as the man who abolished the Indianola Post Office and dined with Booker T. Washington. All that he has done for the Negro, all the evidences of friendship he has shown in the past, have been utterly forgotten simply because he has not shown that sympathy with the criminal Negro, which pervades the Negro population of this country from one end of it to the other." Now, it is not true, in any sense what ever, that the Afro-American people "hate" the President for discharging the whole battalion of the Twenty-fifth Infantry without trial of any sort, for alleged complicity in the Brownville frances. It may please Senator Carmack and his Democratic colleagues in the since, and of their memory and woman—Senate to make it appear that they do because they have a cure way of twisting facts to suit their infamous purposes and of "marriicing truth to make a period round." pieces Captain Woods acted as his secretary and guide, by detail, and they now some rough and poignant service together. Captain Woods is a natural born soldier, and if he had not been a black man would have In common with the best sentiment of the Republic, very little of which is found in the Southern States and is kicked in the rife when it is found, the Afro-American people feel that the President erred badly when he assumed that he had right under the Constitution and the laws to discharge the soldiers, with certain disqualifications, some of which he has withdrawn, "without due process of law," and they have spoken their sentiments with freedom but, in the main, with temperateness, as the best sentiment of the country has done, in disapproval of his order; but to say that they "hate" him and forget the good and helpful words he has spoken in their behalf and the brave and wise things he has done for them—when a civil service commissioner, when Governor of New York, and as President of the United States—is not only to misrepresent them but to convict them of the sort of baseness and ingratitude which is common to Senator Carmack and his Democratic colleagues, who villainously ignore the debt they owe the Afro-American people for protecting their wives and children and property, and providing the necessary subsistence for the rebel soldiers in the field during the War of the Rebellion, leaving out of the estimate the industrial development of the Southern States from the foundation of the Government by slave labor. The Afro-American people do not "hate" the President. They feel that he has done them and their cause a great injury by condemning the innocent and guilty alike without "due process of law." And when Senator Carmack declares that "sympathy with the Negro criminal pervades the Negro population of this country," he utters a deliberate falsehood, and he knows that he does. By his Brownsville, order President Roosevelt has got himself associated with Southern sentiment and supported by Southern Senators as against the sentiment and the Senatorial representation of the other sections of the country—the sections of the country from which he got the votes that made him President, and the Senatorial representation without which he could secure none of the legislation which he deems good for the country—and he must feel keenly the disgrace of the association and support to which the Brownsville order has reduced him. Under all the circumstances, instead of "hating" him the Afro-American people sympathize with him, because Andrew Johnson is the only President in our history forced by his official acts into such disgraceful associations and misery --- Senator Foraker as a Leader. As a leader of men Joseph Benson Foraker of Ohio has demonstrated that he is a match for all of the Lodge, Spooners and Beveridgees in the Senate, as he has out-generated and out-orated them at every point in the protracted discussion of the Brownsville affair. It is true that he had an immeasurable advantage in the go-off—he had truth and right and the law on his side, and that in every issue means much. Senator Blackburn's resolution affirming the constitutionality of the President's order dismissing the troops, like the Lodge resolution that preceded it and was side tracked, is just what the Republican Senators do not want and have been dodging ever since the Brownsville matter was precipitated in the Senate by Senator Foraker. And in the final result Senator Foraker got what he started out to get—an official investigation of the Brownsville 'affair. When we have got that, it will be time enough to question the "legality or justice" of the President's order by Congressional vote. The Bordentown School. In his annual message to the Legislature of New Jersey, Governor E. C. Stokes, one of the best men in public life, calls sympathetic attention to the enormous increase of late years in the Afro-American population of New Jersey, and while pointing with pride to the fact that all of the children of the State are treated fairly and without prejudice of separation in the public schools, he thinks that they should have the industrial school maintained for them at Bordentown strengthened to meet the demands made upon it. And this is the wise view of the matter held by the leading papers of New Jersey. All the pupils who graduate from the public schools of New Jersey and are eligible can take the course at the State Normal School at Trenton. The Bordentown school is doing a needed work in a peculiar field. Under the management of Prof. James M. Gregory it has been wonderfully built up, with the resources at his command, and has accomplished great good. We hope that the Legislature will adopt the suggestions of Governor Stokes and make adequate appropriation to carry on the work, so as to provide for the education of those who desire industrial training, while at the same time being a credit and honor to the great State which maintains it. It will be money well spent. --- The way to have a great newspaper, sleepsily on guard to protect your rights and interests, is to subscribe for it and pay for it and to encourage your neighbor to do likewise. And was there ever a time when we needed more than now, great newspapers and magazines of our own to protect our rights and interests? We think not. Back up Tux Aax with your subscription and your influence in extending its circulation, and encourage your neighbor to do so. Captain Robert Gordon Woods will leave San Francisco on the 24th instant for Mauilla, after spending several months in the United States. He has been employed for five years in the Philippine civil service as an expert accountant. Before entering that service he had served ten years in the regular and volunteer armies of the United States, in which he rose from a private in the regular army to a captaincy in the officer army, and was a military governor of the Province of Filippine, in which Agalapalo was captured, the Spanish War. When Mr. Fo place Captain Woods acted on his mercy and guide, by detail, and that we now some rough and peppish serviles together. Captain Woods is a natural born soldier, and if he had not been a black man would have risen to high command in the army of the United States. But it was not possible for him to get even a licentiousity in the Philippine accouts. Will such injustice always prevail? 1. The New York Sun depicts Senator Tillman as a burnt-cork artist, and The Poll Hall Gazette, of London, classes him as an unlastic. We suspect that Senator Tillman regards himself as an am. New York policemen have long considered themselves the owners of the city, and free to treat citizens just as brutally as they pleased. Or late they have been committing acts of violence against the persons of citizens which have attracted more than usual attention from the newspapers and the public. One of them ran amuck on Seventh avenue last week and damaged a lot of people, but when he was taken to the station-house he was not locked up. In speaking of this policeman and his treatment Commissioner Bingham, who has not as yet become indoctrinated with the real ethics of the "nineest," said: "I shall ask Inspector Hussey why the patrolman was not locked up. There is no good reason why a man wearing a policeman's uniform should have any more privileges under the law than a man in citizen's clothes." After awhile the Commissioner will learn better. The common citizen has small show for a square, deal when a policeman wants him, and whether he has committed any offense or not the policeman will make out a case against him and have plenty of policemen to sweep that his statement of the case, however false, is true. Governor Hughes of New York has the Republican politicians guessing on his announced policies in the conduct of the affairs of the State and in his appointments to office. He follows his own nose. We shall watch with interest the course which he will follow by that sign and the effect it will have on the fortunes of the Republican party of the State. Whenever the question of the failure of the Afro-American people to have perfected an organization for the protection and defense of their civil and political rights is mentioned there is always some ignorant or malicious person to declare that it is due to the sort of leadership the people have had. Nothing could be more unfair, unjust or malicious. The leadership has been all right, but the masses of the people have not cared a rap about such organization, and do not care now. The writer has spent a great many years and a great deal of money in the effort to effect such organization as we should have, and there are others, men like Bishop Alexander Walters, Mr. William H. Steward, Bishop George W. Clinton, Bishop Abraham Grant, Dr. H. T. Johnson, and others, but the race at large has shown no readiness or willingness to respond to their efforts. Why should those who have tried to do something be condemned for failure to do much when they have not been supported at all? We cannot accept the position of many people on this point, and we are freer to do no because we are no longer spending a penny or a moment in an effort to organize people who show no disposition that they want such organization. But organization among them for the protection of their civil and political rights and for the promotion of their industrial, commercial, and financial interests, in as necessary now as when the writer urged it, and sought to put it into force. In the organization of the National Afro-American League, in 1890, and it will continue to grow more so with the years. How well and helpfully the National Negro Business League fills one phase of this need will be admitted by all unprejudiced minds. We are compelled to stand immediately in front of the Honorable Harry Stillwell Edwards, the postmaster at Macon, Ga., and admire the length and thickness of his nerve. He not only wants to get Henry A. Rucker out of his good thing as Collector of Internal Revenue for Georgia, one of the few Afro-Americans holding Presidential office in the South, but he wants convicts used in digging the Panama Canal, and has "impressed" his views on the President, whose friend and representative in Georgia he is. And what a queer lot of political bed-fellows the President has created in the South! The New York World says of the Edwards' convict proposition: "How does this fit in with President Roosevelt's plan to give a badge to every American citizen who takes part in the work at Panama? Recruiting 'the picked men of a victorious army' from the penitentiaries might make the Roosevelt badge a means of identification for the police." Mr. Edwards should confine himself to his business as a professional lawyer and postmaster. As an advisor to the President as to appointments in the Internal Revenue service or as to digging the Panama Canal he appears to be not fit. STATISTICS OF OUR WEALTH. Dr. Vass Says He Has Compiled Them—Proud of His Work. To the Editor of THE NEW YORK AGE: I noticed in a recent issue of The Record of Washington, D. C., a table taken, it was claimed, from the United States Census, giving the wealth of the Negro race by States, the sum total amounting to more than one billion dollars. In the interest of the truth, I wish to inform our people that the table is not based upon or copied from the census at all. The census gives us only a very little that will help us to ascertain the wealth of the race. The largest possible estimate that can be made with any kind of good reason is that to be found in my statistical report, made to the last Negro Congress. At the request of the editor, I sent a copy to The Record, but he preferred to insert a table, with no credit published with it, that is not correct. The Congress elected a statistician just to prevent such blunders, and after careful study of the statistics, with the assistance of experts, especially of Dr. Du Bois of Atlanta, I made a report which was approved and is now published by the American Statistical Association. It is an accurate a report as has ever been made and I am not ashamed to place my name to it. B. N. VASS. Raleigh, N. C., January 12. We Suspect Editor Wilkins Was Off Duty From The Chicopee Conservator. The Tuckerkill Student is getting to be one of our best Negro journals. Last week's issue was full of the most interesting race news, and its editorials would have done credit to any first-class Negro Journal. The question was worth more than the price of four year's subscription to The Student. IN THE PUBLIC EYE ROBERT H. TERKELL. THE CURSE OF MOD LAW. The Record for the Past Year and the Responsibility of the South Responsibility of the South. HOPKINSBURY, KY., January 19.—From clipping furnished me by the Romicke Press Clipping Bureau during the year 1906. I find that during the year there were seventy-two lynchings all of them in the South, if we consider Missouri, Maryland and the Indian Territory part of the South. Only a few days before the close of the year Maryland had to disgrace herself with a lynching in the pollinator. There was one in the Indian Territory last summer. With these exceptions the list is as follows: Alabama, 5; Arkansas, 4; Florida, 6; Georgia, 9; Kentucky, 3; Louisiana, 9; Mississippi, 13; Missouri, 3; North Carolina, 5; South Carolina, 6; Tennessee, 2; and Texas, 6. All of these lynchings were in former slave states. All of the victims were Negroes except two, and in one case one was a woman. Fourteen were for rape of white women and nineteen were for attempted assaults. The others survived the lynchings for four years of demenon, such as disorderly conduct, stealing a calf, stealing a dollar and carrying a pistol. There were only sixty-five lynchings during the year 1905, but the whole is a considerable decrease over the years when there were, nearly 150. This list when taken out killed during the Atlanta riots nor in the recent riots in Kenner County, Miss. Just how the white South can reconcile its boasted superiority in the face of these damaging facts must be considered with a question mark. The white man asserts his capacity for good government. He makes the laws, places his own construction upon them, and breaks them when he wills. It is time for the South to indulge in some serious retrospective on the subject. I law can hold up before the law with a record—which is indeed a horrifying record of barbarity—and yet boast of their superiority, is a bit of Anglo-Saxon civilization that the Negro does not wish to imitate. Their own directive for the law, which is their own creation, has no effect upon the Negro except to create in him a spirit of hate and revenge and disrespect for the law that bodes no good to the country. Truly the Negro is beginning to feel that that in whatever difficulty he finds himself on the earth and wants to be on his own journey and get his own just use. All this is wrong, very wrong. The white man in the South is responsible. HORACE D. SLATLER LIBERIA! Editor of the Detroit Informer Wants to Try the Single Tax Theory There. To the Editor of THE NEW YORK AGE: I write to compliment you upon your editorial in this week's AGE entitled "Private Ownership of Land." It is a clear and explicit statement of the facts regarding the evil effects of private ownership of God's bounty to mankind, and I truly hope to see more of such editorials in THE AGE in the future. Indeed, it seems to me, Mr. Fortune, that if there be virtue and blessings in the doctrine that the whole people should have the land values created by them, it would be well indeed to further the project, as much as possible, of securing the adoption of that policy by some nation where it may be easily applied or adopted. I have chosen Liberia for such a nation, and I have hoped to enlist a sufficient number of Afro-Americans in the cause to bring about a measurable change in the fiscal policy of that beautiful African country. Can you not aid us to encourage a sufficient number of talented Afro-Americans to go to Liberia and accomplish this most laudable work? There is no question but what under existing conditions here Afro-American should acquire all the land they can, and now, and that measure of advice is equally as important as the other part of your editorial pointing out evils of private ownership. It seems to me that it is equally as important that a thorough试 be made in some country where it may be made. Trusting you may see your way clear to render some assistance along the line of building up Liberia upon single tax lines by encouraging Afro-American Single Taxes to go there. I am. FRANCIS H.

To the Editor of The New York Am: Sir Harry H. Johnston deserves to be praised for the very many most inter- esting photographs, sketches, drawings, etc. with which his book, "Liberia," is ill- ustrated, and his publishers are entitled to communication for the excellence of their work. Probably the description of Liberiaan fauna and flora, and the brief account of physical and social anthropology may furnish interesting reading for dents of natural history, but except for that it is difficult to see anything in the book to recommend it, unless it might be found useful as an ex- ample of accuracy and purity. It might be possible to understand this infantile style, provided the book is written for consumption only by Librarians, who, if what Sir Harry Johnston says is true, "are quite as well read as the average English peasant." But, how is this to be taken, for, in another part of the book, he states the American peasant as the book of their civilization; they are an intelligent, often well educated, polite people, whose method of life is perhaps more akin to that of the Englishman or New Englander than it is to the habits of the African Negro. Mentally, they are much more European than African. "It is to be believed that the average English peasant" is "often well educated, if must be admired by the author, who is traditionally himself, and, consequently, that his statements in this particular instance, are of no value? It is hardly conceivable that Sir Harry H. Pohnston is sufficiently imaginative to think that carelessness with respect to facts, on the part of a historian, is not to be severely censured; nevertheless, he commits many crimes of this kind which show that he has not been at the slightest trouble to get at the truth, or to make himself familiar with his subject. He informs us that the music of the Liberian National athlet "was composed by Olmstead Luca," while the fact is the composition was the joint work of Cleveland Luca and Warren Griffen. Cleveland Luca, familiarly called "Clevie," was one of three musical brothers, John Alexander and Cleveland, who enjoyed quite a large degree of popularity in the United States in the late fifties and early sixties. Sir Harry H. Johnston says, "They were mulattoes from the United States by the duplication Negroes from Ohio. The author, not satisfied with having made this blunder, immediately put his foot into another: "Many of the beautiful airs of the early 'nigger' songs from the United States were invented by mulattoes and quadroons." Doubtless he means Negro melodies, as these songs are properly called. They are beautiful, it is true, but to say they were the out-put of mulattoes and quadroons is absolutely misleading and without warrant. Had Sir Harry H. Johnston made himself with the history of race of music he would have caused this into error. The melodies referred to were the outpourings of the hearts of plantation Negroes, field hands, who, forced to mute in other ways, thus gave voice to their pain and sorrow; furthermore, these field hands were almost invariably pure-blooded Negroes. The mulattoes and quadroons, as a rule, were house slaves; were more or less baddened by their owners and, possibly, had too much of what Sir Harry H. Johnson calls "the man's brain" a capable of "inventing" "mig It might supposed that Sir H. John, knowing his limita- would hailted. But no; for he "A well-now composer of the t day ran coming to the fore British real world is of this lineage. I hails from Sierra next door Liberia." The well- composerferred to is the tal- composer "Hiwatha," "The option," "Ka Khan," and other known mastices. This composer born in Lom; he was never in a Leoac. ferring to Great services rent to Liberian the late Josephus Roberts, at president of the public, Sir Hir S. H. Johnston says: "Robertus of his Roberts a strain of Negro in his husband was enslaved and directly a whiteness in which a gave him most weight at that time he councils of uprope, but a circumference which raisees jealousy about amonest the pre-blooded Negroes in Liberian State and perhaps also in Africa." The trth is that Roberts, before emigring to Liberia, had a boatman on the Mississippi river, illiterate. And, ven so, he was bred children, that he majority of the绑业, almost all of theves, who, during their days of enced service had not been permitted to glance at the pages of a book, and naturally, they readily accepted Roberts a leader. President Roberts visited trope at a time most auspicious for success of his mission, inasmuch as English people had been convinced the sine against the Negro, and the sine against slave trade and slavery, by lherference, by other militarisms, and the English conscience I become so disturbed that, even had Liberian appeal been made by a hero, "mentally and physically" a black man, without doubt the result would have no no less satisfactory. a consequence of his successful acie ies in the interests of Liberia.

Unfortunately, because he reported that whites became current in America at a time when many white men were strongly advocating the wholesale and involu- dary deportation of the Afro-American in the United States to Liberia. This despotic measure was opposed the Afro-American leaders with much silent bitterness, and, incidentally, Liia suffered in her reputation as an anum for Afro-Americans; nor is it to expected that President Roberts, who was charged with various serious its by his own fellow-citizens, and was suspected of being in alliance with the advocates of deportation, would consume from the Afro-American who whose whole life were filled of the amelioration of the condition of Sir Harry H. Johnson taken the to but glance at very easily got formation he would have become r with the well-known history of The Abolition Movement in the United States, and having become familiar with it he could never have mired up over the name of George T. Downing, whom he calls "George S. Downing"; nor would he have been so discontentous, even under the protection of quotation marks, as to have referred to him as a free colonist of the city. Only "George S. Downing," of Newport, Rhode Island, was a highly educated, wealthy mulatto. Charles Sumner, the great Senator, called Downing his friend, and died in the mulatto's arms. President Grant often sought Downing's opalion; seven million Afro-Americans held Downing in their estimation as second only to the great Frederick Downing. Downing's transactions have given of their money, their blood, their health, their brains, and even of their lives to Liberia. On page 290 of his most unvacuous book Bir Harry H. Johnston says, "Under Gibson's presidency a further change took place in regard to the development of Liberia. The agent of the Union Mining Company offered the charter of that body to an English syndicate of which Lieutenant-Colonel Ocel Powney was chairman and thus the chief director of the company which purchased this charter from the above-emotioned syndicate; therefore he ought to know that the charter was taken from an American who, in no sense, was "the agent" of the Union Mining Company. In 1880, this American visited Liberia, and while there he purchased on his own account, from the Union Mining Company of Liberia, aarter conceding certain mining rights which he obtained by the Liberian government in 1889. On his return to London the charter was offered for sale to the West African Gold Concessions, Ltd. This company agreed to purchase the charter, but, at the same time, it wished the vendor to have it amended so the English company would have certain exclusive rights. The vendor undertook to have the amendments made and returned Liberia for that purge and succeeded. The charter containing the exclusive rights was granted; it became the property of the vendor, and ultimately it got into the possession of the "Liberian Development Co. Chartered and Limited." Evidently Sir Harry H. Johnston is not over-buried with modesty, otherwise it would be difficult to understand how he could venture to decide for Liberians questions which it might well be thought, should be left to themselves. It is a delicate matter to interfere in the domestic affairs of a neighbor; yet there are tactless people who do, but they generally get a rebuff for their pain. It is to be hoped that Sir Harry H. Johnston will not be an abubbed. The Liberian flag and coat-of-arms do not meet with Sir Harry H. Johnston's approval, and he would have the Liberians alter them. He supplies models. He dislikes to see Liberian men in top-hats and frock coats; Liberian women in gowns cut and made after the styles of London and the chapel; he prepares the technique of the chapel in the Liberian educational institutions; in fact, it seems that nothing would please him better than to have the America-Liberians degenerate to the practices and habits of their uncivilized forefathers. He condemns them for what he calls their "religiousity." Sir Harry H. Johnston's knowledge of the black African is that which a short stay in the neighborhood near where Ja. Ja, of Opobo, lived, and in Uganda enabled him to secure. Unquestionably, Afro-Americans and Americo-Liberians are all one and the same people, are one in their aspirations, fears, loves and hatreds. Sir Harry H. Johnston, like almost every white writer who made this people their subject, knows nothing of these Negroes, is uninformed as to their real character, has no knowledge of the inner, silent forces that impel their action, and this being so, it is aburd for him to attempt to describe them. Peripharing Paul Laurence Duncan, a hunter, jumps into it. "He ain't de queired knowledge. Pu' to tell de story right. He ain't got de 'kre expert'ence Pu' to gib de proper light. Tell you one thing, 'bout Sir Harry. An' I'm tellin' you no joke "Spec' he knows d birds an' flowers. But nothin' 'bout de kulled folk." D. T. HENRY. Now In New York—Wants Another Goat at Nelson. Joseph Gans, champion lightweight pugilist of the world, is in town for the first time in several months, or rather since he signed articles to fight Battling Nelson at Goldfield. Nov., last year, Gans is doing a vaudeville stunt at a local theatre. He visited several sporting resorts yesterday and was interviewed by a number of ting experts. In speaking of the future Gans declared that after he gets through with Jimmy Britt, he hopes to make another match with Nelson. He stated that in case Nelson agreed to fight him again it would have to be done under better conditions than those that governed the Goldfield affair. In other words, Gans evidently means to insist upon weighing 153 pounds at least one hour before entering the ring. He will also hold out for a division of the purse which will give to the winner the bulk of the money. "I can beat Nelson decisively in another battle," said the champion, "and he knows it, too. I will agree to any reasonable terms to get him into the ring, for I want to prove to the sporting world that I really had the better of the argument. Bob fielded. Bob will ever agree to meet me again in another question. Herman was an easy mark for me. He is a strong young fellow with a good punch, but he lacks both experience and cleverness. I suppose I could have put him away in much quicker time if I had not been so cautious. I knew that he had a wallop and did not care to take any chances until I had sized him up to my own satisfaction. It seemed that I would be folly to talk about a match with him as long as there is a chance to fight Nelson for a $40,000 purse. "But at that under certain conditions I might be able to give O'Brien a pretty warm argument. If he would agree to scale at 154 pounds about two hours before entering the ring. I might have a chance with him for I could build up in my training so as to weigh a tride more than 140. But I do not care much about going out of my clay unless I find that I have to in order to secure suitable opponents—and gold puns. As the public evidently realizes, I have been fighting on the level ever since I severed relations with former associates. I have learned that honesty is the best policy for the excellent reason that I've got a bank account of my own now where I had nothing to smack of a year ago. My theatrical tour will be cut short in a few weeks as I wish to go to Nevada to begin training for Britt, who I feel sure will be some more easy money for me." To Study at Oberlin Miss Emma Louise Phillips, eldest daughter of Bishon and Mrs. C. H. Phillips, of Nashville, Tenn., having finished the normal and musical course of piano and voice at Wolden University and also a year's course at Flak University of special study and voice, entered the Musical Conservatory at Oberlin, Ohio, for a special course in voice, harmony and piano, January 4. TWO CENTENARIANS AT HOME FOR AGED AND RETURN Aunt Mahale Ayuru and Sophia Gray, Booth 108 YeYare Old, Rivals Sec Longevity Record—Many Near Continuity Mark—Gann in Philadelphia Real Estate—For Sale and To Let. ELEGANT FLATS To Let. Handsome Apartments with all in PHILADELPHIA, January 21. — "The good Lord takes care of me; I don't worry about nuffin'," said aged "Aunt" Mahal Ayara, who asked now she had ever been enabled to attain the ripe old age of 108 years. "Aunt" Mahala is an inmate of the Home for Aged and Indoor Colored People, at Glarard and Bellmont avenues. "Aunt" Mahala and Sophia Gray, another old woman living in the house, lay claim to the distinction of being the oldest woman in the city. Sophia is also 108 years of age, but it is not known in what month she was born. "Aunt" Mahala will be 107 years old April 12. "Aunt" Mahala received your correspondent in her chorey, cosy room on the western side of the main building. She put aside a gay little strip of rag carpet upon which she was sewing, that she might converge more easily. "Are you glad to see the beginning of another year," "Aunt" *Munt*华娃 was asked, "or are you weary of life?" "Oh dear, no," was her ready response. "I can't tired of living, but I ain't afraid to die neither." "Did you have a pleasant Christmas?" At this question "Aunt Mahala's eyes fairly, glistened. "Oh, my, honey, you done ought a beehorn that day. It was grant." And such a Christmas tree as we did have, all loaded down with gifts." "Aunt" Mahala said she was born on the western "who" of Maryland. While in slavery she was owned by John Fussett. "Dey treated me all right when I was a slave," declared the aged woman, "but I am free now, body and soul, and I'm thankful for it." "Aunt" Mahala's looks do not betray her age. She is active and delights in walking. She also enjoins an occasional culley ride. Her mother beware of her delicate faceles has no use for. Her mind is clear ever it was, but her hearing is slightly impaired. She is not a victim of rheumatism and she declared with a smile "that her appetite was jees splendid." The chief desire of "Aunt" Mahala's life is an automobile ride, and it is to be hoped that this desire will be satisfied. The matron of the home, Miss Elvira B. Robinson, who is almost idolised by her charges, affirmed that "Aunt" Mahala's daily duty was to clean the knives, forks and spoons in task which persons, that people in task which young people would shirk. "Aunt" Mahala never fails to read her Bible in the morning and before retiring. Sophia Gray, "Aunt" Mahalah's rival for the longevity record, has entered her second childhood. Her eyesight is good enough to allow her to string beads, which she was doing when seen, and her sense of hearing has not completely left her, but her mind is very feeble, and she is not talkative. She has lucid intervals, however, and then talks instinctively of her past life. Many other old folk who have passed their allotted three-score years and ten are happy inmates of the home. Among the oldest are Ephramma, aged ninety-three years; Mary Richardson, aged Ella Roberts, Rachel Bowie and Ann Chatham, each ninety years of age. Lavinia Sneed, who died seven weeks ago, was, at the time of her death, about a hundred years old. For forty years she was a missionary in Africa. Last month the Christian Endeavor Society of the Bethel A. M. E. church presented to the home a beautiful Brussels carved, to be laid in the founder's room. As Stephen Smith, the founder of the home, was a prominent member of Bethel church, the gift was an appropriate one. The speech of presentation was made by the church. Wm. Fickland, minister of the church, Dennis, that they have a number of entertainment, consisting of music and recitals. The Home for Aged and Infirm Colored Persons was founded in the year 1804. Believing such an institution necessary, Mrs. Henzy, a Quakerer, and Morris Hall, an Afro-American, interested in the project, Stephen Smith, at that time the wealthiest Afro-American in Philadelphia. With his help the home was founded at 340 South Front street. In 1871 the home was removed to the southwest corner of Girard and Delmont avenues, where St. Smith had been building to be constructed. Since then two additions have been built by charitably inclined persons. The home will comfortably accommodate 140 persons, and any vacancies which may occur are much in demand at $200 entrance fee. Following its custom of the last fifteen years, Bethany Church Sunday school Saturday gave the old women of the almshouse an entertainment. Bags of fruit and cakes were distributed to over 100 women, and a good program was provided. In the almshouse where are about thirty before the war old women, was the music most appreciated. Here the quarritte song old plantation melodies, and there were moments when it seemed as though those old women were going to dance. They hummed away at the choruses, and the older ones tapped the floor, keeping time with their arrangements were Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Boom. Joe Gans, the world's lightweight champion, and Young Corbett, who was recently defeated by Tommy Murphy, were the top liners at the fight show held at the National A. C. Friday night, for the benefit of Terry McGovern, who is now helpless in a sanitarium. Gans and Corbett sparred three two-minute rounds with George M. Cohen as referee. They gave a dummy exhibition. Gans displaying his accustomed cleverness. Neither man, however, exerted himself, but they were loudly amphibuted when they left the ring. It was Gans' first appearance in this city since June. J. H. GRAY. Successful Song and Viola Recital The song and recital given on January 17, for the benefit of St. Augustine's church was an immense artistic success. Miss Mattie Honkins, a dramatic soprano, demonstrated by her artistic singing that she is one of the finest sopranos of the race. Her voice possesses, not only a large compass and great power, but it has that indescribable something which makes it appeal to the heart. She rendered Holdena "Nearer My God to Thee" with great religious feeling and tenderness, but her singing of Mendelssohn's "Sorrow of Death from the Hymn of Praise" manifested her great dramatic capacity and aesthetic taste. The climax was, phenomenally thrilling. Mr. Walter F. Craig rendered "The Humorist" by Dvorak, and African dance by Coleridge-Taylor, and Hamer's *Hungarian Rhapsody*. His playing was not only an exhibition of mechanical brilliance, but it showed a breadth of style and an intellectual and masterly conception. Mr. Logan, a tenor, with an excellent voice-song "My Home is in the Everlasting"; by Stainer, and a tenor arrangement of Schumann's "Two Grenadiers". He sings with a great deal of feeling and unlike most so-called tenors he sings in tune. Mr. Melville Charlton is not by a master of the technique of the violin, but a sympathetic accompanist who what tonal balance and rational proportion are. Real Estate---For Sale and To Lease.

C., January 18.—Some 2,000 visitors invaded Wilmington the past week, among them hundreds of the survivors, both blue and gray, of the battle of Fort Fisher. It was indeed a reunion with all unpleasant features as well as the Afro-American left out. There were large numbers of Afro-Americans on both sides in one capacity or another at the time of the real conflict, in January, 1895, however, and the city would have been pleased to extend an equal hospital had any of these survivors of color been present. The reunion consisted chiefly of a trip to the old fort, camp five in the and again a still larger camp fire in the Academy of Music, where both wearers of the blue and wearers of the gray with each other of the gray with local peoples, in extending and accepting the gird hand. "Glory couron for all" was the motto truly lived in these saw days, and somehow we believe Wil- mington, although the latter's part was entirely passive, have reaped some benefit from the re-union. Congress set out "apart the old grounds of Fort Washington" to Government reservation and public park. The wedding of Mr. James H. Carry way and Mrs. Elizabeth L. Jenkins took place in St. Luke's Church, on last Wednesday evening, as already announced in these columns. The marri- age service of the Episcopal church was used. The Rev. Dr. Lee, pastor of the church officiated, assisted by Rev. B. B. Brown of Mt. Olive A. M. M. church. The wedding was one of the most beautiful and most suitable in color scheme and arrangement that ever took place in this city. Both bride and groom are middle-age women, well-preserved and youthful in appearance. Both are popular and have influence among, a wide circle of friends of whom we present in attendance upon the ceremony. The bride as well as her maid of honor, Mrs. Laura Richardson and the bridemaid, Mrs. Julius Murray were handsome grown up of gray silky hair. At 30 we married and carried unideal bouquets of white car nations. The groom, his best man, Mr. Wm. J. Harris, as well as Miss Joanna Bumpon, James D. Day and Julius Murray, wore the conventional evening dress. The bride entered the church learning solemnly and was met at the channel rail by the groom, where in a few minutes the words were said making them man and wife. After the marriage a reception was held at the residence of the bride in the church, where many valuable and handsome. Thursday night, January 17, the elite of Wilmington gave a full dress reception and married Mr. and Mrs. James H.

Hewes, assisted by a corps of young lady waitresses and consisted of the following menu: Oysters, pickle and crackers, the smoked and olives, ham sandwiching and Roman punch, ice cream and cake, imported fruits, coffee. Mr. W. D. Polite, the toastmaster, in a brilliant and captivating manner, introduced Mimi Beanie Harrington and Roe Rd. Glibber Hollis and Wm. J. Outlair, speaks to the various toasts proposed. Mr. Polite struck the keynote when he said: "Our greatest need to day as a face and as a people is encouragement: we need to be encouraged in our striving after all the important chefs, cheerful bakers, sympathize with brother, sister to encourage, help and share with sister, in all that is good, right, honest and true." Mr. Alan E. Jackson gave a dramatic recital, Monday night of this week, in St. Barnabas' Guild Hall, that was voted by the large and intelligent audience to be the most listened to in this city.
