THE NEW YORK AGE. ALL About the Brownville Mile-up- Club Homestead and Gun Tuba On These Pool by the Wendy Sump Between the Two Good Men—President Checkmate of Appointment in the Senate by Appointment in Ohio Discussed and Provided Mr. Graham's Pause. WASHINGTON, Feb. 11—Following the engagement in the Senate over the Brownville affray there came another. But in this struggle the President acted the role of champion in his own guise, while his great antagonist in the Senate, Senator Forsyth, appeared again as the unqualified champion of constitutional liberty and the rights of the colored battalion, discharged by the President autocratic order without heboro- ing the Senate. This event occurred at the famous Gridron Club diner, at which both the President and the Senator were honored guests. The President, who seems to be laboring under the strange delusion that he can handle his side of the Brownville controversy better than anybody else from his quarter of the list, took occasion to demonstrate to the assembled guests theILITY of the current belief in the superior, if not proper progeny of his mighty arm and mighty lance. Without warning, without any notice of an approaching collision between himself and his dauntless and unhonored antagonist, the President with lance in rest spurred the steed of his throne and fatal verbosity right straight against the unguarded helmet of the victorious knight of the cause of conquestion, the superior and of valor fallow. To the antitheism and almost consternation of everybody present the point up Utica in the White House slew swift like a bolt of battle at the unvisored head of his great antagonist in the Senate. The sack of the encounter was terrific, but even the dust had cleared was not the Sir Gulahad of the mate who was unhorsed and rolling in dust of the improvised arena, as the warbler begged to be the aggressor in the struggle at the now famous Gridiron Club diaper. the conduct of the President at a dinner where all subjects of a controversial nature are strictly tabooed by the Club and its guests is entirely characteristic of the man. Without thought of consequences to himself or to anybody else, in his impulsive way he saw an opportunity to give his side of the Brownville and its leaders with headgear used to take advantage of it. He got the opportunity to deliver himself of some of the things which were rankling in his heart against his opponents in the Senate in general and against Senator Foraker in particular, but the opportunity which he so elicited upon with such little deliberation and foresight, proved within his wraps to be an occasion of his defeat and humiliation. He got off in earnest and his great leader on the "academic" character of its discussion on the Brownville affray and the utter furtility of all such discussions, or even of any action which the Congress might take against him, as he, the head of the Army was concerned. He mapped his finger in the faces of those members of his party in the Senate who dared to dispute his claim to do the work involved in the All-Crowned unified defense in his Draconian decree, discharging them without honor and without trial of any kind, and on a mere presumption of their guilt. Of course as long as the President was on his feet and holding forth in his high and mighty way he encountered no obstacle, scriunk no snag, because he had the floor and the ears of the club and its success to do as he did. He had his heart in doing without apparently a thought of what might happen to him after he had taken his seat and had shut off the ill-considered and impetuous current of his tactless speech. He never seems to imagine that there is any hot hereafter to his words or acts. The words once spoken by him, the deeds once done by him, he seems ever prone to conceive of himself but praise, and the second nothing but men's wonder and everlasting honor. Experience seems to teach nothing, although if heeded it ought this time to teach him that blame end of praise may follow words of him and dissonor acts of his. No. none of these things appear to move him, for he has ever acted on something smart, to do something sensational and spectacular, and I will say that something, do that something though the heavens and the earth too tremble about my ears and the ear of those near me." Like blind Sampson the fine instinct of the man crouch his enemies is overpowering at times that he will be able with the first emesis he is able to lay his hands upon, although in doing so he crushes at the same time himself and his friends. And so, when the President sat down at the Gridiron Club dinner, doubtless much pleased with himself and totally oblivious of the ominous effects produced by his ill-timed speech, he found himself forthwith confronted by the hot hereafter of his ill-judged words in the flaming figure of the great Senator from Ohio. The resounding lash of daunting force upon him beyond four walls of the banquet room, the merciless swing of the fire of them hit into the quivering flesh of the occupant of the White House. The keen blade of Senator Foraker's reply sharper than any two-eled sword divided the Presidential assumption of arbitrarian power sheer away from his rightful constitutional authority, and covered with swift and monetely strokes all of the swollen and diseased parts from the healthier, constitutional tissues of the great office, although in doing so the great surgeon had abhorred his patient sore and schag from his head to his feet, and all the languing nerves in his plectic assumpti a quivering with moral pain. We do not think that bold and imitative as in the President he will have the temerity to deliver a lecture again to the Senate on the Brownville army when Senator Foraker is present. For as a burnt child dreads the fire, so will the President dread to provoke even the wrath of his great and victorious opponent. He will develop instead another and less dangerous attack, doubled, in the future. In the future, did we say he has already selected a fresh point of consulting the position of the chief officer of the block bastion and the chief officer of the American city in those two color preman, and of servitude. What is a farreth of attack selected by the chief of the Army by the navy, presently see. The Gridiron Club speeches followed the atturment we were and those led by Foratth door of the You were follede with American Hope of to tr. to the Fanta of the Manor or the Krident. point some colored man to the United States curryworship at Chennai, the home of Senator Purdue, and that he intended to do this without conferring, as in customary in such cases, with the Senators of Ohio. Instead of conferring with these two chosen leaders of the great State of Ohio, the prum reports that he has called in to his constituents the candidate in the primaries that the disqualified Mr. Purdue, Washington of Alabama. This meant more on the part of the President is in the nature of a division, intended to do for Senator Fischer what the automatic order of the head of the Army in relation to the Brownville affray has done—involved him in the political parity, which he finds it almost impossible to escape without a serious law of political prudence, popularity and power in the presidential election. In the President blamed Senator Fischer more than any other personal agency, or in fact than all other personal agencies put together. Great forces are back of Senator Forker and great forces are back of the President, and the struggle between them means disaster, destructive passage to one or the other of the champions and of one or the other of the mighty forces led respectively by each Senator. Further he has back him the great body of the powerful causes surrounding Republican party. The President has back of him more powerful individual members of his party, and the industrial and money interests represented by these individuals. Within his party the forces and interests opposed to him overmatch by far the forces and interests arrayed on his side. He has therefore been compelled in the struggle to enlist the support of democratic voters in his powerful words meant that he has fighting under his banner the solid forces, with a single solitary exception, of the Southern Democrats, who hate the colored people and who are resolved to undo for them all their rights and liberties under the Constitution. In this posture of the contending forces we regret exceedingly the wholly selfish use which the President is making of Mr. Washington the country can risk the hazard to be moved as a mere pawn on this chess board of the President. There is nothing for them in such a situation but peril and loss. For such a position between these contending forces gaposes them under contendous difficulty of the belligerents. If the President must consult Mr. Washington in such matters then the conference ought to be regarded as strictly confidential, and Mr. Washington's name and the counsels or suggestions made by him ought not to be given to the press by the President. For while publicity in such a case may serve the President's purpose or scheme, it seems more likely that Washington, but must operate instead to his hurt, to the hurt of Tuskegee and to the great cause of the race in America for long years to come. In this Brownsville affair the well-higher universal sentiment and sympathy of the colored people are with Senator Foraker and against the President. There are exceptions. It is true, but those exceptions are like angels' vision, few and far between, and in almost every case they are of an intersected nature, as coming from individuals, who, being in office, desire to gain promotions in the public service, or also they come from others, who being out of office, desire with all their small souls to get into the public service, with their pitiful exceptions, and receive people of the community with the Senator from Ohio and against the President. And that they are teototally and absolutely right, we have not the slightest doubt whatever. It is besides the only safe position for the race to occupy under the circumstances. Then let it stand its ground firmly to the end. ARCHIBALD H. GRIMKZ. GOV. HUGHES DEFIES PLATFORM LEAVES POLITICIANS IN COLD Decides on Questions on Merits and Wants Things Done in Honest Way —Has Faith in the People. ADAMAN: February 9. Some of Gov. Hughes's remarks at the State League of Clubs dinner last night will interest some politicians. Here they are: "Twice a day," he said, "I meet people, not the common people, but the uncommon people. I mean the newspaper men. They ask me all sorts of questions and show me how little I really know. To-day one of them told me that I was down to speak at a dinner to-night, and asked me what I was going to say, and told him I didn't know. But he said, "Greeting is the first dinner of strictly partisan character which you have addressed and we would like to know what you are going to say." "Now," continued the Governor, "I haven't one face for organizations of citizens and another for a Republican gathering. If what I have said at these gatherings is sound it will seem good to me to exploit it in the bosom of my political family. I am nothing of a politician. There are here here who could give me lessons in politics. But it seems to me there is only one kind of politics that has a chance of winning, and that is the kind which gives efficient government. I am profoundly impressed with the fact that the people are tired of all kinds of politics which do not work for their final good, their real interests and the betterment of administration." "The time has gone by when any politician or officeholder who is detected in using opportunities morphed him to feathery groundwork and any politician who because of his position seeks to advance his personal interest deserves no respect as a politician. "The Republican party has an unexamined opportunity. It is free to do what it will. It has its future in its own keeping. So far as I am concerned, disagreeable and unpleasant as it is for me at times to run counter to the free and generous and human way of dealing with matters of importance. I am confirmed in my belief that the true plan is to solve each question by itself when presented to the end that honest and efficient government may be secured. That is what the people want. At any rate, that is what I propose to give them." EXPECT VARDAMAN TO WIN. Some to Be Grinding Over John Sharp William for the Senate. CANTON, Miss., Feb. 6.—The Senatorial contest in this State is becoming live. From all parts evidence accumulates that the House minority leader, John Sharp Williams, is losing ground, and that Gov. Vardaman will defend him at the August primary. There are two reasons for this. In the first place Vardaman has given the State the kind of an administration it likes, and in the second the great body of Minimolim votem favor Government ownership of railways and the repeal of the Fifteenth Amendment, both of which THE LIFE OF MARY C. MAYER FREDERICK DOUGLASS AND HIS BEAUTIFUL HOME AT ANACOSTIA, NEAR WASHINGTON, D.C. DOUGLASS MEMORIAL HOME Tuskegee Ala., February 11—It is now nearly twelve years since Frederick Douglass to whom the Afro-American people gave more than to any other man of our race, for the part he took in securing our freedom, died in Washington. His home at Anacostia, in the suburbs of Washington, still remains, however, and an effort is now being made to provide this house with its memories and tradition, which it has a special interest in Douglass and the Afro-American people. An association, known as the Frederick Democrat. Historical Association, has FREDERICK DOUGLASS AND H SUCCESSEUL EVANGELIST St. Mark's A. M. E. Zion Church's Revival—Rev. Florence Randolph Evangelist — Thirty-eight People Converted. JERSEY CITY, February 11.—Good has come out of Israel and Jersey City has been in the throes of a genuine old-fashioned revival. Every knee has bent, every head has bowed: men and women cast aside denominations, put creeds behind them. God in front of them and joined in the pursuit to a common end, the salvation of souls. For two weeks St. Mark's A. M. E. Zion church on Montmorency street, for almost a half century, ceased religious activity and colored folk in lower Jersey City was nightly the accee of these great meetings. The pastor, R. V. R. Ball, D. D., decided that the time was appropriate for a revival. The oft-repeated assertion that Jersey City is more interested in temporal than spiritual affairs fell like sounding brass and thinking cymbals on his ears and he began preparations for the event. For assistance he looked without, not within, and found whom he sought in Rev. Florence Ramphilhite the all-time Newman engraver of this city. In night in the church; day after day in the homes of the people, this woman of God labored. She did not use her abundant allureance in painting vivid picture of hell's fire and brimstone, but to bring a message of love and good cheer. So effective is she that oldaints and youngaints, backsliders and penitent sinners all found themselves under the spell, a fascination as it were of this great agent of the Divinity and joined in the swell of the chorus. "I will trust in the Lord." Mourner after mourner arose from the bench of penitence and declared his or her sins, and went on their ways rebuilding. Those nightly scenes are indelibly impressed on the minds of all who attended and carried me back twenty years to the days of my early boyhood in the dear old Southland, where the old Christians did not wait for revivals to glorify the Ossinian One, and never tired of singing "Give --- best formed to effect this purpose. The people of our race have a sure opportunity to honor the memory of Frederick Duquesne and to show their love and reverence for the man, who during the trying, times before and after the war, embedded in his own life, more than any other man of our race, the aspirations and the hopes of our people. I have the full Association to assist in the securing the comparatively small sum of money, amounting to some $5,600 and interest, necessary to clear off the mortgage on the property and so secure the property for all time to the association and the Afro-American people of the United States. We should make Cedar Hill to our people what Mt. Vernon is to the white race. All of this can be accomplished if everyone in the community rents a tribute, at once, a small sum of money and send it to me by post office order, check or otherwise as soon as this case.

Thirty-eight souls saved is the record; the greatest revival in thirty-two years, more than a soul for each year of spiritual latitude. The eminent New England divine, Dr. Horace Bushnell, said, there is a divine plan in the life of every man. We know that the man in the concrete sense, for we are impressed with the divine plan in the life of Rev. Mrs. Randolph, the salvation of souls, the preaching of the gospel; her influence at the heartstone is as great as in the pulpit or on the lecture platform. In the life of this remarkable young man, we see his devotion and conservation of "A prophetess with honor in her own country and among her people." NEED FOR NEW KIND OF SCHOOL Public Education Association Urges Breeder Industrial Training. That a school of an entirely new kind is needed in New York was the unanimous opinion of a large conference which assembled, upon the invitation of the Public Education Association, yesterday afternoon at the home of Mrs. Victor Sorchan, to consider the need of a broader industrial training in the public schools. John F. Reigart, principal of Public School No. 2, conducted the conference. He said that children were eager to leave school to get their working papers at the public school. Because the school subjects did not interest them. Miss Julia Richman, in whose district, is the school for incorrigible and truant boys, showed that unmanageable boys who could not be held in the ordinary schools were ready to attend school in the evening out of hours, if only they were admitted to the workshop. Several speakers agreed that there was no difference of opinion among the Board of Superintendent, with Superintendent Maxwell at their head, about the need in New York for intermediate technical and trade schools; but said Professor Richard of Teachers College, little else exists upon which to determine exactly what to do in such schools. The Public Education, Association is forging a committee to urge the Board of Education to establish one such school as an experiment. nunciation is rud. I am making the appeal by the authority of the officers of the Frederick Doughns Memorial and Historical Association and with the approval and approval of Mr. Doughns immortal family.

RABBI JOSEPH SILVERMAN SEES DANGER AHEAD OF US Swipes American Race Tendencies Mercilessly. In his sermon on "Lincoln and the Race Problem," at the Temple Emmanuel last Sunday morning, the Rev. Joseph Silverman told his congregation that Abraham Lincoln was a "man messiah who lived and labored within the memory of the generation," and declared that, with which we might teach principles of preceptual use and ethical will, the virtues of logic and philosophy or the text of all the world's Bibles, we shall never eclipse the lasting benefit of one such virtuous character as Lincoln. He said, in part: "Abraham Lincoln is justly called the navigator of the Union, as Washington was called the father of the country. He eloquently championed the cause of the slave." "Our progress in degeneracy appears to me to be pretty stupid. As a nation we begin by declaring that 'all men are created equal.' We now practically word it. 'All men are equal except the Negro. when the 'know-nothings' get control it will read. 'All men are created equal except Negroes and foreigners.' When it comes to this I shall prefer emigration to some country where they make no difference to me. We will not instance, where demotism can be taken pure and without the base alloy of hypocrisy. In reality, the country is still divided on the Negro question. It is no longer a question of slavery, but a question of race equality. In this race problem we should use the rule of noblesse oblige and should follow the rule that the strong should help the weak, the superior级 kindly with the weaker, the inferior级 kindly with the least adopt a course of non-interference, if not of earnest help. Let there be no hostility, no opposition, no unfairness, no injustice practiced, either North or South, against the Negro." From The Indianapolis World. As long as the second section of the 14th Amendment is openly disregarded by both houses of Congress, it hardly behooves any one to talk very loudly about devotion to the Constitution. Before he made the gift of $200,000,000 to the General Bhattacharie Board on Thursday, he, Mr. John D. Buchaffler, and calculated that the disposition of the income Don that sum by the methods adopted by the board would mean that within ten years, the total amount contributed to, or available for, educational work in the United States would exceed $200,000,000, and might reach $200,000,000. This was reversed by Frederick T. Cain, who represents Mr. Buchaffler in philanthropic matters. Almost every gift made by the board is conditioned upon the making of an additional, and nearly always much larger, sum by the persons in control of the school or college making the application for aid. The statement issued by the board that thus far it has made conditional gifts approximating $1,677,000, and that various colleges to which this sum was offered are have raised something more than $3,220,000 in order to comply with the provisions of the gifts seems to indicate that the dispositions of the board are to be at least trebled. But Mr. Rocheffeller's latest gift has even greater significance, according to imam Shaykh Muhammad yesterday. It occurs to promote the agricultural rejuvenation of the entire South. When Mr. Rockefeller in 1802 made his gift of $1,000,000 to the General Education Board, then only an association of private citizens, he specified that it should be used for the study and promotion of education in the Southern States. In cooperation with the United States Department of Agriculture the board has done much successful work in this line. It began by teaching the farmers and planters how to increase the productivity of the soil. The intention was to increase the profits from the land and in that way enable the people to support better schools. Up to this time agricultural instruction provided by the farmers was limited to the States. Now, with the additional millions at their disposal, it is the intention to spread this work into all parts of the South. Mr. Gates explained the reason for the statement in the letter which John D. Rockefeller, Jr., sent to the board upon the gift that the donor or his associates would direct the use of the whole or any part of two-thirds of the total of $22,000,000. When the first gift of $1,000,000 was made, Mr. Rockefeller directed that it should be used in the Southern States. When the second gift of $10,000,000 was made he stipulated that it should be used to promote "comprehensive system of higher education in the United States." The gift it impaired to devote any part of the $10,000,000 to aiding academics or common schools. Now when Mr. Rockefeller decided to give $25,000,000 more, Mr. Gates explained he gave one-third of that amount to the board outright, to be used in such manner as it should determine. Mr. Rockefeller had not yet made up his mind what specific branches of educational work he should aid especially. That he had some idea, however incompletely developed, of further fusions in some particular division or direction would be a natural inference from the reservation he made in the letter. Just what his plans are have not been revealed. Mr. Gates was asked if, in view of Mr. Rockefeller's great interests, at the outset, in the economic and educational conditions in the Southern States, it would not be natural to expect that it is his intention to broaden the work in that suit and be replied that it certainly will be the aim now to spread the work into all parts of the agricultural South. Mr. Gates said that at the last meeting of the board it was decided to take the agricultural development work into Virginia next, and it was his opinion that other States would be invaded by the instructors as soon as possible. INQUIRY MAY LAST ALL SUMMER Senators Investigating Brownville Affair Believe They Will Have to Examine Every Man. WASHINGTON, Feb. 9.—The Brownvilleville inquiry by the Senate Committee on Military Affairs, may continue at intervals for several months. Many men for whom the inquiry has been asked have not been found, and others are in Texas attending the court-martial of the white officers of the discharged Negro battalion. The investigation has proceeded far enough to convince the members of the committee that the only way to get at the bottom of the affair is by the slow process of examining every man to see what he has done. The officers of B and D Companies have been on the stand, and no evidence has been secured indicating that these men were guilty of the offences charged against them. It has been brought out that the C Company men had a chance to secure gums, through face, that their guns, racks, broken arms, and similar members of that company is expected to be of greater interest. The feature of the testimony that most interests the members of the committee is that all of the men on the stand have said that they would be able to distinguish the report of the Springtime committee to the Kraig Jorgenson riffle from the reports of other witnesses have said that they did, not hear any army riffle. The testimony of the white officers, now under court-martial, is awaited on this point. Several Senators who have declared that they believe some members of the Negro battalion were guilty of the shooting new white officers should go on the stand and say that they could not detect the reports of Springfield or Kraig guns. The committee takes it for granted that soldiers are able to distinguish between the reports of various makes of guns. Senator Foraker has said that he will at the lotion of the affair if it should take the form of a force that after the adjournment of Congress a sub-committee will be named to take testimony.

SOUTHERN SUPPORT REGARDED AS PURCHASABLE, SAH! The Fulbrunke Bank End of It Put Up to Mr. Dawson in a Way to Hurt the Vice- President--The Campaign is On and Purchaser Stands Way Up in the List —Black to Succeed Flatt in the S Senate, Maybe. With the Republican National Convention of 1908 sixteen months away, boomers interested in boosting Vice-President Fairbanks into the Presidential nomination have been subscribing in New York State. Charles G. Dawes of Illinois, Comptroller of the Currency under President McKinley, has been especially active in New York City on behalf of the Vice-President. Mr. Dawes has consulted with many influential Republicans hereabouts and has enlisted them under the Fairbanks gonfalon. These interests are of a substantial character in a financial way. Even in this era of reform there are preliminary expenses which must be met if the Southern delegation is to be secured and retained and made happy at the convention. The great point now, according to the Republican United States Senators familiar with what is going on, is to get at the Southern Republican brother in the interest of Fairbanks and to keep him in tow until he cast his ballot in the convention according to the Southern States return votes in the Electoral College for a Republican candidate, except in isolated instances, but the Republican Southern delegate getting machine has been of immense value to previous Republican aspirants for the Presidential, nomination. Alabama leads off on the roll call, and sometimes even that is worth something. It has been said for some time that Vice-President Fairbanks is already very strong in the Republican nomination, and today that such is not the fact. The Fairbanks boomers, for that reason, headed by Mr. Dawes, have felt it necessary that something else should be done if Mr. Fairbanks is to call the Southern Republican delegate getting machine his own. One of the United States Senators in town said last night that he and his colleagues in the Senate are thoroughly impartial at present in the matter of a Presidential candidate, but he added: "At the moment it is all drifting towards Fairbanks, but whether Fairbanks could be elected, it is all drifting towards all talk of Roosevelt has ceased. Up to a month ago many Republicans believed that the situation might get into such a tangle that the only satisfactory outcome would be the President's renomination. But all this has departed, and now the favorite sons in sight besides Fairbanks of Indiana are Taft of Ohio, Foraker of Ohio, Shaw of Iowa and Cannon of Illinois. Foraker is a very strong man in State, but sometimes I think his health is It was learned that a number of old Republican New York Stake friends of Mr. Platt believed that he should resign his seat in the Senate before the present session of the Legislature at Albany adjourns, and have so suggested to Senator Platt. Eminent Republicans who spoke of this matter last night said that they did not without any personal feeling toward Senator Platt. The influential part an active Republican could play in the great Presidential game were he in Senator Platt's shoes. "Many of Senator Platt's friends are convinced," said another Republican United States Senator, "that if he should resign before the Legislature at Albany adjourns ex-Gov. Frank S. Black could be very easily elected in his place, whereas if Senator Platt holds on until after the Legislature adjourns and anything should happen to licapacitate him totally before the Legislature reconvenes. next winter Gov. Hughes would appoint either Joseph H. Chote or Seth Low United States Senator or at the appointment would carry with it, as a candidate for Legislature next winter. I am a friend of Platt, and of Chote, and of Low, but I am also a friend of Black, and I would rather see Black in Platt's place in the Senate than either Chote or Low. Still Chote and Low, especially Chote, are very highly regarded in Washington. But from the standpoint of a political organization which is to have an influence on the Presidential nomination in 1908, Black, in my judgment would be more effective in Senator Platt's place than either Mr. Chote or Mr. Low." DR. MASON IN HARTFORD. Cole & Johnson Play—Death in the Snow—Perry Dayn Dead. HARTFORD, February 12-- Mrs. Annie Robinson, widow of the late Wm. Robinson, was agreeable surprised at her home, 20 Martin street, last week; those interested being Mrs. Mary F. Knight Mrs. Elise Clark, Misses Lulu and Nellie Robinson, Miss Autonette Clegest, Miss Colwell and Mrs. Jacob Toplin, Carrie Smith, of 885, Fairmont street, works as a delegate representing the Roachd Nursery, No. 947, at the Philadelphia convention. Mr. Perry Davis, for many years one of the best known colored citizens of this city, was Thursday at the Connecticut hospital for a long time. He had been confined for the past eight years. For thirty years or more he was a porter in the wholesale drug store of Lee, Slisson & Co., and successors. He was known as an ace height man keen and shrewd. His life was marked by remarkable. He was a pillar of the A. M. E. Zion church, and as an exhorter of no mean power, eloquence and persuasion as were few colored than of his time in this city. He was a grandchild, Hurlbert R. Taylor, clerk in the George B. Detter, carlier; Mr. Besale Taylor Batton, and Miss Elise Taylor, now a student at Flick University. The funeral was held Saturday morning, at 10 o'clock, under undertaking rooms in Hills and Mechanic; and Mrs. Wendell officiating. Burial in old North Cemetery. The funeral of Mrs. Tamar Heath Young was held at the A. M. E. Zion church Sunday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock. A. M. Carey, of Jackson Rivers, were Neesar Virgil Wilson, Jackson Rivers, James P. Taylor and Austin Francis. After having been missing for ten days, George W. Winter, of 883, Fairmont street, was found on Saturday afternoon buried under a small brook which flows into the north branch of the Park River, back of the Watkinson Farm school. Mr. Winter was a driver for W. C. Mason and Co., and had a few months' experience with few months, because of a fall on his head received last year when his biker collided with a toller car on Market street. He and the railway company at that time, were arrested and fell into the brook while crossing the field. Rev. Dr. James P. Mason, professor of sociology and political economy at Livingston College and Industrial school, at Salisbury, N. C., spoke on Sunday and Monday at the church. Mr. Mason deserves larger audiences than attended both events. The Literary Society held its meeting at A. M. E.

Strange People of Central Africa have covered by Leont. Alexander From The New York Sun. Transafrican journeyers are now for the most art matters of comparatively little moment. There is almost a tourist route from Mombasa via the Uganda Railway, the Victoria Nyamu, Ruwamwari and the Pygmy forest to the Congo, and thence by that river to Matadi, where the steamer waits to take the voyager to Antwerp. And the Cape to Calvo route is becoming hacked and has been accomplished by at least one lady (Miss Mary Hall). But to cross the continent from the west coast to the Red Sea through the heart of the Sudan is quite another matter, says a correspondent of the Poll Mall Gazette, and has been attempted by very few travelers. Hilberto only one scientific expedition to photograph the Dr. Gustav-Nachschulz. Save for the howling waters of the eastern Sahara the central Sudan is the least known part of Africa—the still dark remnant of the continent. There has just passed through Egypt on his return home a young British officer who has rivalled, if not surpassed, Nachtigal's achievement. Lieut. Boyd Alexander, who, leaving England in the only spring of 1900, has been a course which began at the mouth of the Niger and ended at Port Soudan. When the expedition reached the Niger in March, 1904, it consisted of Lieut. Boyd Alexander of the Rifle Brigade, his brother, Capt. Claude Alexander of the Scotts Guards, Capt. G. B. Goaling of the Rifle Brigade and P. A. Talbot, B. A. When Lieut. Boyd Alexander reached the Nile he was alone, his brother and Capt. Goaling having died of fever, while Talbot was alone, his brother and Capt. Beneue and Niger after having accomplished a great deal of original survey work in Borne and in the exploration of Lake Chad. The first year's work of the expedition was spent in the eastern part of northern Nigeria. Capt. Claude Alexander and Mr. Talbot, despite illness and famine, made an excellent survey of the country, completing a triangulation between Ibi on the Benue and Lake Chad. The highest mountains were found to be a little more than 100 miles from Ibi. Kachai was met, among whom the women adorn themselves with an ornament tied on behind to resemble a tail. With a couple of shallow draught steel boats the Gongola River was explored, the boats being afterward taken to pieces and carried across country to the River Komadugu, where they were once more utilised. Lieut. Alexander navigating them down that river to Lake Chad. On one occasion an attempt was made, to Old Man Kokou, a riverbed met with no hostility from the inhabitants. A picturequeque incident was the relief of a caravan of 700 pilgrims on their way to Mecca—a six years' journey from Timbucto, the starting place—benieged in a walled town by semi-Berber robber tribes from the Sahara borderland. These freebooters were dispersed by Lieut. Alexander, helped by a force of archers. The first real disaster occurred in 1900 when Capt. Claude Alexander died at Maloni, a place southwest of Lake Chad, of enteric fever, the result of overwork in heavy rains and scarcity of food. Undeterred by the death of his brother Lieut. Alexander continued his journey. He and Mr. Talbot made a careful survey of Lake Chad, with the result of greatly altering the map of that mysterious lake, which appears to be little better than a vast swamp with two large pools of open water, was found a race of timid folk. Buddums had old caves and reed stalks tied together in layers and in shape resembling Yenetian gondolas. Mucolteques swarmed in clouds, "making it a perfect hell on earth." Mr. Talbot having left on his return home via Larges, Lieut. Alexander and Capt. Goosling, after three months battling with the reed swamps of Lake Chad, reached the mouth of the Shari on May 25, 1903. Sickness and desertion had widened the numbers of the caravan, but the after boat arrived from the French officers in the Shari district the travellers received every hospitality. In June, 1941, a start was made from Fort Lamy, a French post on the Shari for Ubangi River, the route being partly by water and partly overland. The next nine months were spent in investigating the water system connecting the Shari and the Ubangi and in making further zoological collections. Among other things a complete specimen of the okapi was procured on the Welle River. It was here that Lieut. Alexander was left to carry on the expedition alone, for on June 13, 1906, Capt. Goaling died, a victim of black water fever. Having crossed the great equatorial forests, Lieut. Alexander reached the Nile at Lado in December last, and thence made his way to Khartum by the river. From the Forgeades mouth of the Niger, he was hastened by Soulan, where it ends in distance by the route followed of more than 3,000 miles. Fully two-thirds of this long journey was in country very little known — some of it never before visited by any European — and among tribes, some Moslem, some pagan (and cannibal), whose good will was almost invariably obtained by mined firmness and kindness. Its successful assimilation places Lieut. Boyd Alexander in the front rank of living African explorers. One of the most important discoveries of the accurate knowledge of the navigable water ways connecting the Congo basin with Nigeria, a matter of great moment when the enormous cost of opening up the heart of Africa by railways is considered: REPUBLICAN CLUB ELECTION Officers and Committee Chosen on Lincoln's Birthday.

Grova, William Litchfield Bismuthian Soldier Browne Home of These Guns Who Witnessed and All the Ammunition Was Accused in— Think Tuun Sangue Md. St. WASHINGTON, February 8. Former Bargain George Jackson of Company B was the principal witness to-day before the Senate Committee on Military, Affairs which is investigating the Browneville affair. Jackson was one of the thirteen men arrested for participating in the shooting. He was released on November 16, when the three companies were discharged without honor. One of the other men arrested was Ernest Allison, the discharged soldier who was arrested in Browneville. The last Jackson board of Allison was that he was in prison in Browneville and "on the verge of going home." Jackson declared that he was not engaged in the shooting-up of the town and did not know of anyone who was. He testified that on the day of the shooting he had charge of the gun racks for Company B. He counted the guns in the morning and there were fifty-two of them. Ten of these were given to the man who went on guard in the morning. When the call to arms came that night he unlocked the racks and found all the other guns in their proper places. After the guns had been returned to the racks he went to the hospital and turned the keys over to Sergeant Mipo Saunders. The police officer in the shooting was done by Texas rangers and cowboys who were out on a drunk. He admitted that he had formed his opinion from what two white soldiers of the Twenty-sixth Infantry had told him in the hospital at San Antonio. The soldiers told him that the rangers and cowboys frequently went out and shot up towns "just for amusement." Walter McCurdy quartermaster sergeant of Company D accounted for all the ammunition which had been issued to his company. There was none of it missing, he said. He had not been connected with the shooting, knew of no one who was and had withheld no information. "I was sixteen years and four months in the service," said McCurdy, "and I am about as anxious as any of you gentlemen could be to find out who did the shooting. Some of our men have been too long in the service to throw away such ammunition as any of them committed a crime. I believe the guilty should be punished, but not those of us who are innocent. If I knew the name of any man who had been engaged in the shooting I would tell it to you gentlemen this instant. In my sixteen years of service I have never been punished once and have never been in the guardhouse for a single day." HOTEL BELLMEN'S RECEPTION. A special feature of the thirteenth annual reception of the Hotel Belimen's Benedictine Association, which took place at Grand Central Tnalac, Thundagone, and was the first to be established manner in which the hall was decorated; and it can be safe, by said that the decorations on this occasion were the most gorgeous and very in the form of the lily in which the old pours of the inhumance of people. In different parts of the immense ceiling there were clusters of roses, suspended from the ceiling by ropes of fern, and around the bottom of the national fort, and were critically placed. The entire arrangement was exceedingly beautiful and pleasing, and elicited much praise for the committee on decorations, which was more than three thousand people in attendance. The boxes were all taken, and among the occupants were many of the proprietors and snouts. The most important house of the small well-differed display of the endowment costumes on the floor, where it was one of the most orchestral of twenty-five pieces that played the role of the show, music was excellent. It was after 10-clock when President George S. Darnell led the Grand March of the Annocation. As the organization entered the hall they received the most important house from their own time. The marching was one and when they made the letters it. R. R. A. with great precision, they received rounds of applause. After the march, dancing was resumed till the small Box 15--Miss M.

APUS AMERICAN JOURNALIST—NO. 4 From The Southern American Reporter, soldierly Winston Churchill in the last election. The people elected Republican officials from county commissioners on up to all the other officers. It is now proposed by the Alabama legislature to punish this county for being in the Republican column by abolishing this election system as applies to Winston county and have the board of county commissioners appointed by the Democratic Government. Why not go the "whole big" and have the other offices in this county made appolitive? Why not have Governor Cosner all the rights and prerogatives of the plain judge in this county, the judge, the sheriff, the county clerk, the tax assessor and the tax collector? If the Democratic legislature is going to do the contemptible, the "puppy act," in this one thing in the case of the county commissioners, surely it is hog enough to go the whole length. The cloven foot of the oligarchy is equal Race Insec in Indian Territory. Near The Police Guide Unprecedented in the history of the Southern states has such a doubt as to the advisability of the race separation been as great as it is in the new state. The separation will be over the oblique line; but on the racial question instead. Now comes the question as to who are the Negroes and who are whites. The Indians by a provision introduced into the convention, are to be claimed as white between them whatsoever. For the last forty years the scheming white men of the North and East has inmarried among the Negroes and been forced by their mercenary thirst for land; but nevertheless the cold facts remain and the offspring are here remind us of it. The Negro and Indian have fared better in the American frontier, especially so in the Greek nation. As a result we have a mixture of races in the new state unequalled in any part of the country. Many of the Negroes in the state have either a mixture of African or Indian blood in their veins. Revival Wave in Memphis. From the Blue City News In order to change regulations, warfare against the crime, and wickedness that overshadows the city, the Methodist, Baptist and Congregational pastors, with their followers, have combined themselves together in the conduct of a spiritual awakening. A very Chapel, on Debono Street, which slightly services are held, and a result of those mighty forces much good is being accomplished. The revival, which began two weeks ago under Prof. Neely, of Jackson, has grown in interest nightly, and it is stated by the pastor, Ilev. G. B. Becher, the 579 conversers were the record of work ending last Monday night. Out of that number 38 had united with Avery Chapel and the rest had joined the other churches. Dr. G. W. Porter deserves special praise for the manner in which he has conducted these spiritual goods. Manager, and, under Lord, is an evidence of his great ability and strong Christian character. The meetings, in addition to their uplifting uplift, have a tendency to bring about closer relations between the members of the different denominations as well as to unite the total two-objective and related into the perpetual brotherhood, and will make for the moral stannis and upbuilding of the race. The Hope for Future Developments. This matter of industrial and technical education for the masses is of transcendent importance, and in these and in the columns of other publications we have emphasized it for years. But what of the people who are not interested in the masses who are not neglected? Preachers, teachers, physicians and leaders in the other walks of life are to be provided for the Negro masses from the races of the race and educated for the service they are to render, his life, to be done upon the best abandon all hope of high future development. Aditer Taylor's Widow Continues His Work After being imparted by so many friends and acquaintances to continue to publish the Plain Dealer, and after careful thought and consideration, I have decided to try, providing that I can secure the continued assistance of the general public in publishing the Plain Dealer. Of all things, it is generally known that it takes money to run any enterprise or business, and unless we can secure your support in a financial way, and not in sympathetic manner, our efforts will not be successful. We had described and did all in his power to keep the paper going that it could be a mouthpiece for his race, to speak out at all times in their behalf and all rallied to his assistance. I shall endeavor to be parental to your assistance. I try to assist you to help my fallen brother or sister and always be found coming to the rescue when needed. Kansas Wives Surprised. Glas, Tambleson had quite a surprise on his wife last Tuesday. She went to Pratt. When she came back home she found he had purchased a new fine range stove. Mrs. Marlon Fleming returned home last week and found relatives in Oklahoma. She also found a $700.00 new range stove in the kitchen waiting for the new cook. Dr. Kust and Mr. Rockefeller. Dr. J. S. Rust, the leading educator of Rust University has passed over the area into eternity. Such men as Dr. Rust cannot be found so soundly and so plaintful in the days of the sixties. We are reluctant to let such good men go. We give the American Baptist Home Mission Society money enough to put all its high grade schools for Negroes under endowment, his name would have forever among the million and a half Negro baptists, and the three million white Baptists of this coun A Solution of the Railroad Problem From the Chattahoochee Herald. The Chattahoochee herald faces a better solution for keeping order on trains than anything else and tails should be imposed and executed on all passengers. But there is no justice in making any well behaved intelligent person ride a train. Little is known about the kind of low vitamins that think no more of smoking, swearing, or taking out the whiskey bottle and treating to drinks in a reduced lady's face than they do in a bar. It is not hard to see why such a kind is required to have such coaches that will accommodate both classes. There are colored ladies just as refined and cultured as those of any other race and they should be treated with the same respect and consideration. Nothing has ever been required of the railroad companies by the states for the best class of colored travellers and hence they think that anything is good enough for a Negro woman or man, this country, and not enough in the decent treatment of its citizens who are deserving and worthy. Requirements of a Jockey. It is true that in this Western Outlook, he has produced great men as just signed a tation, but if you werright colors this leader of America N that there are to try to find the greatest to bow to the Manda or the Kroo, row to bow to are Negro, for he not only he to serve every minute of speed out of his house, but he has to steer clear of pedestrians and make that white boy not to step into the street. He must always days he has to be a superior heroesman brave, a fighter and ready to mix it with his rivals for pennant honors. Gov.-Governor Northam Spencer and Griflin. Opp. Gov.-Griflin, (Ga.) Negro Herald. On Monday night ex-Governor Burton speeds to the white and colored citizens of Griflin on Law and Order and the importance of every citizen's duty. "In the Indian entry" as a panacea for mob rule. He found in our large and broad-hearted white citizen the courage to cannot be in praise of his honor, the Mayor, Rea Jeankh, Ace and Murray for their active support of the principles advocated by Governor McKenna. He cannot be in praise of our cooperation and cooperation to its white friends and to the citations of this entire community in anything or any effort toward making our country and state the Garden Spot of the earth. We would urge our white friends to cease worrying about the social equality bugbear—it's all a myth. The Negro does not want it and has no applause and social equality in nothing less than a political race to make for selah ends. Our interests are common in all things commercial, industrial, moral and spiritual, and as such we are one as a land and your social we are as separate as the fingers. With the knowledge of these truths, why is it that the best men of both races cannot get in closer touch? There are hundreds of ex-patriates Spanish, French and Japanese and will respond to any call from their white friends for the best interest of our section. Terence Told Tragedy. From The Natches Weekly Herald. Lakewood, N.J. 1075. A juergo as usual was the victim charged with attempt to commit an assault on a grand lodge, and we witnessed the affair. A Protest from Louisiana. from The Times which report in Baton Rouge a few days ago, representing 50,000 colored people, did not represent colored people in Shreveport, nor north Louisiana. We are concerned, does not mean anything to us etc. But if it did, we wouldn't fuse and puff and doff our hats to any one. Mr. Baton Rouge is a law and punish innocent people. We know that: the guilty should and ought to be punished, but we do not say like Thraya machines, that justice is the interest of the weaker subjects, but to the reverse. A Stateman Without Party. Tom Watson is still without party and floundering around dipping into everybody's business. He was kicked out of the Democratic party, the Republicans refused to have him, he destroyed the third party, he destroyed the third party, poor farmers to take them into politics (of course for Tom Watson's sole benefit), to claw them to pieces. Important Meeting of North Carolina We know of no meeting of such vast importance as the one held in Raleigh last week between the representatives of the white and colored conventions of the Southern Baptist Convention that meeting Hon. N. B. Broughton, Mr. J. W. Bailley, editor of the Biblical Recorder; Rev. Lingston Johnson, Corresponding Secretary of North Carolina; Rev. H. C. Moore, Secretary of the Sunday School Work. Dr. Dunaway, Chairman of the Committee, Secretary of the Educational and Missionary Convention, Dr. C. S. Brown, Dr. A. Shepard, Dr. N. F. Holoper, Dr. A. W. Pegue, Col. N. F. Holoper, Rev. J. S. Bills and Rev. J. A. Whitted. The intention of this meeting is to hold and form such organizations and plans as to effect a better understanding and bring a better relation between the two GISTS. Nick Chiles on Sunday Shows From The Tonks Flap Dealer The passage of an act by the Legislature prohibiting shows on Sunday is indeed a great blessing. When the law goes into effect, the public will be encouraged that Jim Crow ideas in force will have to seek greener fields or grab a pick and shovel. The only thing that could have pleased us would be that the could have been for the earth to have opened up and swallowed the whole works, prophets and all. To Unite Texas Business Men. From The San Antonio Inquirer. For the first time, establishments owned by Negroes in San Antonio have taken on new life. Establishments of various kinds are springing up in the city, some among them are hardly able to exist, while others are flourishing with success. But a sad state of affairs is a lack of organization among our business men, in the city, in the country, and in themselves with any organization to propagate their business, but instead have held themselves apart and have attempted to their business independent of one another. The Citizen's League will endeavor to unite the business interests in every community, and that one will be dependent upon the other and the success of one will mean the success of the other. White merchants wholesale and retail are all thoroughly organized, and each of them, and each is co-operating one with the other for the common benefit and protection. Negro business men should follow the same rules and the results will be better than told. Justice the Only Solution. From The Suntter, (S. C.) Defender. The solution for the "Negro Problem" as it applies to the slave or freedom. The only solution of the present "Problem" is justice. And it does not lie in the months or the hands of the Negro to administer justice; it is justice held for the Negro to contribute in every way, to make any sacrifice if he can but attain to the full stature of a free man; he will never be content with loss, and there will be a permanent settlement, a lasting cure of the slaves' affliction, solved upon the basis of right and justice. Hospital Established at Knoxville. From The KinkaWille College Aurora. The KinkaWille College Aurora Hospital is now an established institution. One successful operation has been performed and it has been demonstrated that first class service will be given to all patients. Dr J. L. Johnson can now be found in the hospital's急诊 room at the Hospital every Tuesday afternoon. The high standard of admission for nurse students has prevented many from entering who otherwise would have done so, but it in the interests of thoroughness and ef gibility has been made. Always note that there is a general tendency to raise the standard of admission everywhere. It is expected that the formal opening of the Hospital will be on February 22, in the meantime patients are received and the teaching of the nurses goes steadily on. Separation in the Episcopal Church, From The Littleton (N. C.) Church Ro- man Archdeacon J. H. M. Pollard left last Saturday on a six month's tour to visit the University of Georgia in the interest of the Episcopal Church. His trip will extend through all of the Atlantic and Gulf States, from Virginia to Florida, and to the Carolinas at the request of the Episcopal Board of Missions.

Pence Reigns in Zion. From The Missionary Seer. We have given a curryy glance at our general official family and find them all hard at work for the promotion of African Zion Methodism, and we see no reason to doubt their efforts. We view of the present and future outlook. The old ship is equipped and manned with an strong and efficient a crew as our strength will permit, and there seems to be but little jangling or a regiment of peace. But it is not enough to know that our efficient family is at peace but God be praised for capable and loyal devotees to our Zion who are garrisoning the different factions of the church is to be congratulated upon having a strong man in nearly every important charge, especially at the strategic points.

The Fahrenhain End of It Put Up to Mr. Dawson in a Way to Heart the View- Foresthouse—The Campaign is On and Punishment Stands Way Up in the Lot —Black to Succeed Flatt in the Senate, Maybe. From The New York Sun. With the Republican National Convention of 1908 sixteen months away, boonous interested in boosting Vice-President Fairbanks into the Presidential nomination have been subscribing in New York State. Charles G. Davis of Illinois, Comptroller of the Currency under President McKinley, has been especially active in New York City on behalf of the Vice-President. Mr. Dawes has consulted with many influential Republicans hereabouts and has enlisted them under the Fairbanks gonfalon. These interests are of a substantial character in a financial way. Even in this era of reform there are preliminary expenses which must be met if the Southern delegation is to be secured and retained and made happy at the convention. The great point now, according to the Republican United States Senators familiar with what is going on, is to get at the Southern Republican brother in the interest of Fairbanks and to keep him in tow until he cast his ballot in the convention according to the Southern Senate programme. The Southern Senate votes in the Electoral College for a Republican candidate, except in isolated instances, but the Republican Southern delegate getting machine has been of immense value to previous Republican aspirants for the Presidential nomination. Alabama leads off on the roll call, and sometimes even that is worth something. It has been said for some time that Vice-President Fairbanks is already very strong in the Southern States, but it has learned less and less that he is not a Fairbanks boomer, for that reason, headed by Mr. Dawes, have felt it necessary that something else should be done if Mr. Fairbanks is to call the Southern Republican delegate getting machine his own. One of the United States Senators in town said last night that he said his colleagues in the Senate are thoroughly impartial at present in the matter of a Presidential candidate, but he added, "I will be off duty." Fairbanks, but whether Fairbanks could be elected or not is another story. But all talk of Roosevelt has ceased. Up to a month ago many Republicans believed that the situation might get into such a tangle that the only satisfactory outcome would be the President's remination. But all this has departed, and now the favorite sights in eight brides Fairbanks for Ohio. For Ohio, Shaw of Iowa and Cannon of Illinois. Foraker is a very strong man in his State, but sometimes I think his health is not as robust as it might be." It was learned that a number of old Republican New York State friends of Mr. Platt believed that he should resign his seat in the Senate before the present session of the Legislature at Albany adjourns, and have so suggested to Senator Platt. Eminent Republicans who spoke this last night night that they did not want to face the full force of ard Senator Platt, but because of the influential part an active Republican could play in the great Presidential game were he in Senator Platt's shoes. "Many of Senator Platt's friends are convinced," said another Republican United States Senator, "that if he should resign before the Legislature at Albany adjourns ex-Gov. Frank S. Black could be very easily elected in his place, whereas if Senator Platt holds on until after the Legislature adjourns and anything should happen to ilicapacitate him totally before the Legislature reconvene. next winter Gov. Hurries would appoint either Joseph H. Chote or Seth Low United States Senator, and the appointment carry over with an election by the Legislature next winter. If he bid of Platt, and of Chote, and of Low, but I am also a friend of Black, and I would rather see Black in Platt's place in the Senate than either Chote or Low. Still Chote and Low, especially Chote, are very highly regarded in Washington. But from the standpoint of a political organization which is to have an influence on the Presidential nomination in 1908, Black, in my judgment would be more effective in Senator Platt's place than either Mr. Chote or Mr. Low." DR. MASON IN HARTFORD. Cole & Johnson Play—Death in the Snow—Perry Davis Dead. HARTFORD, February 12 - Mrs. Annie Robinson, widow of the late Wm. Robinson, was agreeable surprised at her home, 20 Martin street, last week; those interested being Mrs. Mary P. Knight Mrs. Elise Clark, Miss Lalu and Nellie Robinson, Miss Jogget, Miss Colwell and Mrs Jacob Temple Mrs. Carrie Smith, of 881, Fairfort street, went as a delegate representing the public, No. 947, at the Philadelphia convention. Mr. Perry Davls, for many years one of the best known colored citizens of this city, died last Thursday at the Connecticut hospital for the insane, at Middletown, where he had been confined for the past eight years. For this year of more he was a writer in the whole paper, and of Loe, Sloess & Co. and successors. He was known as an active, bright man, keen and shrewd. His gift of language was little short of remarkable. He was a pillar of the A. M. E. Zion church, and as an exporter of no mean power, eloquence and persuasive as were few colored man of his time in this city. Mr. Davis left four grand-children. Hurbert R. Taylor, clerk in the post office, and the other two were the most female Taylor Raton, and Miss Elele Taylor, now a student at Flsk University. The funeral was held Saturday morning, at 10 o'clock, from the undertaking rooms of Hills and Marchant; Rev. Andrew McCallum officiating. Burial in old North Cemetery. The funeral of Mrs. Tamar Heath Young was held at the A. M. E. Zion church Sunday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock. Rec. A. McCallum, the head of theோயers were Messrs. Virgil Wilson, Stark, Ross, James F. Taylor and Austin, England. After having been missing for ten days, George W. Winter, of 8815, Fairmont street, was found four of snow, a afternoon moon, and a foot of snow, in a small brook which flows into the north branch of the Park River, back of the Watkinson Farm school. Mr. Winter was not known to be quite right mentally; the past few months, because of a fall on his head received last year when his wagon collided with a roller car on Market street. He was taken to the hospital but lost his suit. It is believed that he fell into the brook while crossing the field. Rev. Dr. James E. Mason, professor of occultology at the University and Industrial school, at Sallebury, N. C., spoke on Sunday and Monday evening at the Pearl street A. M. E.

Transafrican journeys are now for the most art matters of comparatively little moment. There is almost a tourist route from Mountains via the Uganda Railway, the Victoria Nyamani, Buwamori and the Pygmy forest to the Congo, and the theme by that river to Matadi, where the steamer, waits to take the voyager to Artwerp. And the Cape to Calve route is becoming hackneyed and has been accomplished by at least one lady (Miss Mary Hall). But to cream the continent from the west coast to the Red Sea through the heart of the Sudan is quite another matter, says a correspondent of the Pell Mell Guette, and has been attempted by very few travellers. Hitherto only one scientific observer has accomplished the feat—Dr. Gustav Nachaligel. Save for the central Sudan is the least known part of Africa—the still dark remnant of the continent. There has just passed through Egypt on his return home a young British officer who has rivalled, if not surpassed, Nachtigal's achievement, Lieut. Boyd Alexander, who, leaving England in the early spring of 1904, has spent the last three years in a journey which began at the mouth of the Niger and ended at Pott Souad. When the expedition reached the Niger in March, 1904, it consisted of Lieut. Boyd Alexander of the Rifle Brigade, his brother, Capt. Claudie Alexander of the Rifle Guard Capt. G. B. Goaling of the Rifle Brigade, Capt. B. B. When Lieut. Boyd Alexander reached the Nile he was alone, his brother and Capt. Goaling having died of fever, while Talbot was obliged to return home by the Benue and Niger after having accomplished a great deal of original survey work in Bornu and in the exploration of Lake Chad. The first year's work of the expedition was spent, in the eastern part of northern Nigeria. Capt. Claude Alexander and Mr. Talbot, despite illness and famine, made an excellent survey of the country, completing a triangulation between Ibi on the Benue and Lake Chad. The highest mountains were found to be a little over 5,500 feet. A pagan tribe, the Kachai, was met, among whom the women adorn themselves with an ornament tied on behind to resemble a tail. With a couple of shallow draught steel boats the Gongola River was explored, the boats being afterward taken to pieces and carried across country to the River Komadugu, where they were once more utilized. Lieut. Alexander navigating them down that river to Lake Chad. On one occasion an attempt was made to kidnap the boat, but the villagers met with no hostility from the inhabitants. A picturequeque incident was the relief of a caravan of 700 pilgrims on their way to Mecca—a six years' journey from Timbucto, the starting place—beieigned in a walled town by semi-Berber robber tribes from the Sahara borderland. These freebooters were dispersed by Lieut. Alexander, helped by force of archers. The first real disaster occurred in 1904, when Capt. Claude Alexander died at Mafoni, a place south of Lake Chad, of enteric fever, the result of overwork in heavy rains and scarcity of food. Undeterred by the death of his brother Lieut. Alexander continued his journey. He and Mr. Talbot made a careful survey of Lake Chad, with the result of greatly altering the map of that mysterious lake, which appears to be little better than a vast swamp with two large pools of open water. He and his crew folk, Rudduma, who build canoes of dried reed stalks tied together in layers and in shape resembling Venetian gondolas Monquitos swarmed in clouds, "making it a perfect hell on earth." Mr. Talbot having left on his return home via Lagos, Lieut. Alexander and Capt. Goalling, after three months battling with the reed swamps of Lake Chad, reached the mouth of the Shari on May 26, Sickness and desertion had greatly reduced numbers of the canvan, but the steel boats were intact and from the French officers in the Shari district the travellers received every hospitality. In June, 1901, a start was made from Fort Lamy, a French post on the Shari for Ubangi River, the route being partly by water and partly overland. The next nine months were spent in investigating the water system connecting the Shari and the Ubangi and in making further zoological collections. Among other things a complete specimen of the okui was obtained by Wille Hirie. It was here that Lieut. Alexander was left to carry on the expedition last, for on June 13, 1900, Capt. Goaling died, a victim of black water fever. Having crossed the great equatorial forests, Lieut. Alexander reached the Nile at Laube in December last, and thence made his way to Khartum by the river. From the Forçades mouth of the Niger, the journey was begun by Capt. Sutherland in distance the route followed of more than 3,000 miles. Fully two-thirds of this long journey was in country very little known some of it never before visited by any European- and among tribes, some Mosselon, some pugan (and cannibal), whose home is in invariably obtained mined firness and mined successful accomplishment places. Lieut. Royal Alexander in the front rank of living African explorers. One of the most important results obtained is a far more accurate knowledge of the navigable waterways common to the Congo basin with Nairobi in a matter of years. The enormous cost of opening up the heart of Africa by railways is considered. REPUBLICAN CLUB ELECTION Officers and Committees Chosen on Lincoln's Birthday.

D. Hawkins, John X. Dixon, Walter Pohl, Charles C. Green, William Lattimer WASHINGTON, February 8. Former Sergeant George Jackson of Company B was the principal witness to day before the Senate Committee on Military Affairs which is investigating the Brownville affair. Jackson was one of the thirteen men arrested for participating in the shooting. He was retested on November 16, when the three companies were discharged without honor. One of the other men arrested was Erwin Brownville, discharged soldier who set up a saloon for Negroes in Brownville. The last Jackson board of Allison was that. he was in prison in Brownville and "on the verge of going insane." Jackson declared that he was not engaged in the shooting up of the town and did not know of anyone who was. He testified that on the day of the shooting he had charge of the gun racks for Company B. He, counted the guns in the morning and there were fifty-two of them. Ten of these were given to the men who went on guard in the morning. When he or army came that night he unblocked the gate and the other guns in their proper places. After the guns had been returned to the racks he went to the hospital and turned the keys over to Sergeant Mino Saunders. Jackson said that in his opinion the shooting was done by Texas rangers and cowboys who were out on a drunk. He admitted that he had formed his opinion from what two white soldiers of the Twenty-sixth Infantry had told him in the hospital at San Antonio. The soldiers told him that the rangers and cowboys frequently went out and shot up towns "just for amusement." Walter McCurdy quarter-master sergeant of Company D accounted for all the ammunition which had been issued to the Twenty-sixth Infantry during the shooting. He said. He had not been connected with the shooting, knew of no one who was and had withheld no information. "I was sixteen years and four months in the service," said McCurtry, "and I am about as anxious as any of you gentlemen could be to find out who did the shooting. Some of our men have been shot, and some have such advantages by refusing to tell who had committed a crime. I believe the guilty should be punished, but not those of us who are innocent. If I knew the name of any man who had been engaged in the shooting I would tell it to you gentlemen this instant. In my sixteen years I had been punished once and have never been in the guardhouse for a single day." HOTEL BELLMEN'S RECEPTION. A special feature of the thirteenth annual reception of the Hotel Bellman's Beneficial Association, which took place at Grand Central, took place at the elaborate mansion of Mary 7, was the elaborate manner in which the hall was decorated; and it can be safely said that the decorations on this occasion are the most gorgeous of this city as the most beautiful given by our people. In different parts of the immense ceiling there were clusters of roses, suspended from the ceiling by ropes of fern, and the roses were artistically placed. The entire arrangement was exceedingly beautiful and pleasing, and elicited much praise for the committee on decorations, of which H. Anderson led, than three thousand people in attendance. The boxes were all taken, and among the occupants were many of the proprietors and managers. There was a bewildering display of handsome tumes on the floor, where it was one continual go. Miss Hailie L. Anderson led two orchestras of twenty-five pieces that played music, and a band of musicians music was excellent. It was after 1 o'clock when President George 8. Darnell led the Grand March of the Association. As the organisation entered the hall they received flowers, and the music was resumed till the small letters H. B. B.

With the Democratic majority, the most widely Republican in the last election, the pro- elected Republican officials from county commissioners on up to all the other officers. Now proposed by the Alabama legislature to punish this county for being in the Republican column by abolishing this election system as apples to the county commissioners appolated by the Democratic Governor of the State. Why not go the "whole hog" and have the entire county made a deputy? Why not have Governor Comer appolate all the rights and preogatives of the plain people of Winston and name the pro- judge, the sheriff, the clerk, the treasurer, the tax collector? If the Democratic legislature is going to do the contemptible, the "puppy act," in this one thing in the case of the county commissioner, it is hog enough to go the whole length. The cloven foot of the oligarchy is equal Race Issue in Indian Territory. Krom The Cuisse Guide. Unprecedented in the history of the Southern states has such a doubt as to the advisability of the race separation been as great as it is in the new circumstances be drawn on the color line; but on the racial question instead. Now comes the question as to who are the Negroes and who are whites. The Indians by a provision introduced into the convention, and the white race distinction to be held between them whatsoever. For the last forty years the scheming white men of the North and East has inscrambled among the Negroes in the South, influenced by their mercenary thirst for land; but nevertheless the cold facts remain and the offspring are here to remind us of it. The Negro and the white men of the South have formed their farmers' freedom; especially so in the Greek nation. As a result we have a mixture of races in the new state unequalled in any part of the country. Many of the Negroes have been the state have either a mixture of African or Indian blood in their veins.

In order to wage a relentless warfare against the crime and wickedness that overshadows the city, the Methodist, Hapag-Lambeth, and other followers, have combined themselves together in the conduct of a spiritual awakening at Avery Chapel, on Denbago street, where nightly services are held and as an activity being accomplished, the revival, which began two weeks ago under Prof. Neely, of Jackson, has grown in interest nightly, until it is in the midnight hours that G7B conversion were the record of work ending last Monday night. Out of that number 39 had united with Avery Chapel and the rest had joined the other churches for the purpose of providing for the manner in which he has conducted these spiritual works for the Master, and his record is an evidence of his great ability and strong Christian faith. In addition, their spiritual uplift, have a tendency to bring about clever solution between the members of the different denominations as well as to unite the pastors, irrespective of their denomination, will make for the moral stimulus and upbuilding of the race. The Hope for Future Developments. Higher Education. This matter of industrial and technical education for the masses is of transcendent importance, and in these and in the columns of other publications we have emphasised it for years, for the sake of saving the masses; shall they be neglected? Preachers, teachers, physicians and leaders in the other walks of life are to be provided for the Negro masses from the ranks of the race and education, therefore they must be included. If this is not, to be done at once we had best abandon all hope of high future development. Editor Taylor's Widow Continues His Work From The Utah Plan Dealer. After being imported by so many factual opportunities to publish the truth and after careful thought and consideration, I have decided to try, providing that I can secure the continued assistance of the general public and our old subscribers. Of course, we must be careful not to run any enterprise or business, and unless we can secure your support in a financial way, and not in sympathetic manner, our effort will be in vain. My late husband sacrificed and did all his power to mount a challenge for his race, to speak out at all times in their behalf and all rallied to his assistance. I shall endeavor to be partial to none, but to give justice to all and ever try to assist, help my fallen brother in the rescue when needed. Kansas Wives Surprised. Chas. Tumbleson had quite a surprise on his wife last Tuesday. She went to Pratt. When she came back home she found he had purchased a the new range store. Mrs. Marlon Fleming returned home last week to be spotted to be spotted relatives in Oklahoma. She also found a $700 new range store in the kitchen waiting for the new cook. Dr. Rmat and Mr. Rockefeller. Dr. J. S. Rust, the leading educator of Rust University has passed over the sea into eternity. Such men as Dr. Rust cannot be found so easily and so plentiful as in the days of the sixties. We are reluctant to admit Mr. Rust, but if Mr. Rockefeller would give the American Baptist Home Mission Society money enough to put all its high grade Schools for Negroes under endowment, his name would live forever among the milieu and a half Negro Baptists, and the three million white Baptists of this country. A Solution of the Railroad Problem. From The Chaitinoga Berkay. The Chaitinoga Berkay faces a better solution for keeping order on trains than anything else and tabs should be imposed and executed on all passengers. But there is no justice in making any well behaved intelligent person raise in train, and it would just be kind of low yellows that think no more of smoking, swearing, or taking out the whisky bottle and treating to drinks in a refused lady's face than they do in a bar. It would be required to have such coaches that will accommodate both classes. There are colored ladies just as refined and cultured as those of any other race and they should be treated when travelling as all the others. Nothing has ever been required of the railroad companies, by the states for the best class of colored travellers and hence they think that anything is good enough for a Negro woman, and that a bottle is far behind others in the decent treatment of its citizens who are deserving and worthy. Requirements of a Jockey. It is true that in this Western Outlook, has produced great men, Villiams, the best tation, but if you were bright colors this leader of the American team, to try to to try to and the Fantee the middle to the Mandi or the Kroo, row to hoe we are Negro, for he not THE NEW YORK AGE: THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 14, 1907. only has to force every ounce of speed out of his horse, but he has to clear clear of poachers and mares that white bears not eat, and to keep the horses safe in the day these days he had to be a superior horseman, brave, a fighter and ready to mix it with his rivals for plighten heroes. Sir-Governor Northern Spoken at Griflin. Fresh The Griflin, (Gn.) Negro Moral. The Griflin, (Gn.) Negro Moral. He then spoke to the white and broad citizens of Griflin on Law and Order and the importance of every citizen doing his "Christian duty" as a panacea for morbidity. He found in our large and broad-hearted white citizens a meet cordial welcome. Too much cannot be said in praise of his honesty, for he is a man of integrity for their civile support of the principles advocated by Governor Northern. The Journal extends its support and cooperation to its white friends and to the people of Griflin in everything or any effort toward making our community and state the Garden Spot of the South. We would urge our white friends to cover worrying about the social equality begins. It's all a myth. The Negro does not want it and no aspirations for such. All this talk of the Negro and social equality in nothing but a political race to the White House. Our interests are common in all things, commercial, industrial, moral and spiritual, and as such we are one as a land and yet we social we are as separate as the diarist. With the knowledge of those truths, why-is it that the best men of both races cannot get in closer touch? There are hundreds of them. Are they unwilling to wabbling and will respond to any call from their white friends for the best interest of our section. Teresley Told Tragedy. Lynchburg occurred at Greenwood, Miss., Jan. 23, 1807. A negro as usual was the victim charged with attempt to commit an assault on a grand lodge, and we witnessed the affair. That league which met in Baton Rouge a few days ago, representing 50,000 colored people, did not represent colored people in shreveport, not north Louisiana. The balloons he filled the colored are concerned, does not mean anything to us etc. But if it did, we wouldn't fuse and pug and doff our hats to any one, Mr. Thrayr, and punish the man who made the law and punish innocent men. We know that the guilty should and ought to be punished, but we do not say like Thrayr the stronger obeyed by the weaker subjects, but to the reverse. A Statesman Without Party. Tom Watson is still without a party and sounding around dipping into everybody's business. He was kicked out of the Democratic party, the Republicans retained to have him, he destroyed the third party, and now he has set his claws upon the party. He is now the president (of course for Tom Watson's sole benefit), to claw them to pieces. Important Meeting of North Carolina Bandits From The Baptist Standard We know no meeting that is most important in the Raleigh last week between the representatives of the white and colored conventions of North Carolina. There were present at that meeting Hon. B. Broughton, M. H. Editor of *Bulletin*; Recorder; Rev. Livingston Johnson; Corresponding Secretary of the Baptist State Convention of North Carolina; Rev. H. C. Moore, Secretary of the Sunday School Work. Dr. of the University of North Carolina was detained in Oxford. On the part of the Educational and Missionary Convention, Dr. C. S. Brown, Dr. A. Shepard, Dr. N. F. Hobber, Dr. A. W. Hegues, Col. A. L. King, Rev. J. S. Bills and Rev. A. Whitted. The intention of this meeting is to hold general and local meetings over the State and form such organizations and plans an effect a better understanding and bring about a better relation between the two races. Nick Chiles on Sunday Shows. The passage of an act by the Legislature prohibiting shows on Sunday is indeed a great blessing. When the law goes into effect, the law goes into force. Joe Peele, Jim Crow Ideas in force will be to seek greener fields or grab a pick and shovel. The only thing that could have pleased us was to open up the earth for the earth to have opened up and awakened the whole works, proprietors and all. To Unite Texas Business Men. From the San Antonio Inquirer. For the first time, establishments, owned by Negro in San Antonio have taken on new life. Establishments of various kinds are springing up in the city, some among them are hardly able to exist, while others are flourishing with success. But a sad state of affairs is a lack of resources in business men. In shape our fortune have not opened themselves with any organization to propagate their business, but instead have held themselves apart and have attempted to make their business independent of one another. The Citizen's League will endeavor to unite the business interests in every community, and that one will be dependent upon the other, and the success of one will mean the success of the other. White merchants wholesale and retail are all thoroughly organized in their business in all regions of them, and each is cooperating one with the other for the common benefit and protection. Negro business men should follow the results and will be better felt than told. --- Justice the Only Solution. From The Sumter, S. C. (C.) Defender. "The solution for the "Negro Problem" as it existed forty years ago was justice to the Negro, and it was the present "Problem" is justice. And it does not lie in the mouths or the hands of the Negro to administer justice; it is justice he humbly, anxiously craves. It is justice in every way, to make any sacrifice if he can but attain to the full stature of a free man; he will never be content with loss, and there will be a permanent solution, a lasting order of law, and a justice so solved upon the basis of right and justice. Hospital Established at Knoxville. From The Knoxville College Aurora. The Alum B. Wattles Memorial Hospital is being operated on one successful operation has been performed and it has been demonstrated that first class service will be given to all patients. Dr. J. J. Johnson can now, be found in the patient and comfortable dentist room at the Hospital every Tuesday for admission. The high standard of admission for nurse students has prevented many from entering who otherwise would have done so, but it is in the interests of thoroughness and efficiency, and humanity. We are glad to that there is a general tendency to raise the standard of admission everywhere. It is expected that the formal opening of the Hospital will be made on February 22, but in the meantime patients are received and the teaching of the nurses goes steadily on. Separation in the Episcopal Church. From The Littleton (N. C.) Church Re- Archdeacon J. H. M. Pollard left Saturday on a six months' tour to visit several points and missions in the South, in the interest of the Episcopal Church. His trip will extend through all of the Atchison, Omaha, and Virginia to Texas. This extensive trip began and ended at the request of the Episcopal Board of Missions.

The Home of Frederick Douglas In another column of THE ACM to-day we publish a statement of the needs of the Association authorized to protect the home of Frederick Douglas, and an appeal to have the small indebtedness upon the property provided for, by Dr. Washington... In making this statement and appeal Dr. Washington has acted a wise and generous part. Cedar Hill, the last home of Frederick Douglas, is one of the historic estates in the United States. It should belong to the people in perpetuity. It should be free of all debt, and it should be provided with a sufficient sum to maintain it in its original state. As the years come and go the Afro-American people will understand better and appreciate more not only the commanding genius and dominating personality of Frederick Douglas, but the incomparable services he rendered to the slave population and to the Republic. The Afro-American people of to-day should wipe out the small indebtedness on the home of Frederick Douglas, and we believe they will. Abraham J. Lincoln There are so few names in the history of mankind which are illustrious without the taint of corruption of one sort and another and of greed for power gained by violence and maintained at the point of the sword, in which countless peoples were made to mourn and often the liberty of states imperilled if not destroyed, that the few great men stand out "like some tall cliff that lifts its head above the storm," to be observed by all the wayfarers on the highway of time. Some such men are to be found in the history of every people—men who have illustrated in their living the highest thought and conduct in their relations with their fellows, and who made the world better by enlarging the scope of human liberty and happiness. The people of the United States have produced two men of the highest wisdom and patriotism and given them an opportunity in the highest office to use their gifts of head and heart for the best good of the State and the people. Such a man was George Washington, who led the armies of the colonies against the tyranny of the Mother Country to victory, and served the new Republic as its first President with as much wisdom and patriotism in peace as he had in war; and such a man was Abraham Lincoln, whose wisdom saved the Union of the States from disruption and made it possible for the nation to "have a new birth of freedom." Both Washington and Lincoln loom larger in the life of the Republic with the passing of the years. Their great wisdom and services stand out more conspicuously and are appreciated more and more by each succeeding generation. George Washington was born to the purple of aristocracy and was a slave holder. Abraham Lincoln was born to the lowly condition of the great mass of the people and saved the Union of the States and destroyed the system of slavery, which had given the lie to our Declaration of Independence and made our pretensions to democratic institutions a by-word and a hissing among mankind. It is not a question as to which of these two great men rendered the higher service to the Republic and humanity; each in his time and place, wisely and with the highest patriotism, did the work his hands found to do, and they will always we believe, remain pre-eminent among the great men of the great Republic, the greatness of which and the enlightenment of which command the admiration of mankind everywhere. But there are reasons why we attach greater importance to the work of Lincoln than to that of Washington. Lincoln was the prophet of freedom. We Afro-Americans owe more to him than we can ever owe to any other man, because he was in a position to put into the law of the Republic those elements of justice and equity made possible by the groundwork of such master builders of public sentiment as Benjamin Lundy, William Lloyd Garrison, and the great men and women who held up their hands in the fight against the institution of slavery. We are bound to have a higher estimate of our poor common human nature the more closely we study the lives of the men and women who created the public sentiment which made it possible for Abraham Lincoln to promulgate the Emancipation Proclamation and the final adoption of the three War Amendments to the Federal Constitution. Abramon Lincoln was born February 12, 1802. We are therefore celebrating this week the ninety-eighth anniversary of his birth. A striking feature of the mental attitude of Mr. Lincoln on the questions of slavery and, of the Afro-American and his place in the life of the Republic is that there was nothing fixed about it. He hated slavery naturally, we believe, but he approached the subject at every stage of his career with ever increasing growth of broadness and sympathy. This is shown in his attitude all the way. He finally became so broad that he favored the enlistment of black men as sol- THE NEW YORK AGE: THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 741 1967. also said of eligible candidates but then an officer he hired found that many of his appointees have been, and if he a matter always so be resulted that he contemplated at one time making an Afro-American a general. A thought like that has entered the hand of no President since Lincoln. He also came to the point, as he expressed it in a letter to the provincial governor of Louisiana, where he declared that some of the Afro-Americans would be found worthy to exercise the right of franchise and at some future time help to "keep the jewel of freedom in the diadem of Nations." If he had lived through the period of Reconstruction he would have taken advanced ground in all matters affecting the citizenship of the Afro-American people, because he appreciated at the full the splendid service they had rendered in the war. No one would be more pained than Mr. Lincoln at the deliberate attempt which have been made of late years by the enemies of the Afro-American people to make it appear from Mr. Lincoln's earlier attitude and utterances on the race question that he was opposed to a proper recognition of the services they had rendered in the War and the proper position they should be given in the citizenship of the Republic in the reorganization following the end of the war. He had constantly grown broader and more sympathetic in his attitude towards the Afro-American people, as his residence in Washington enabled him to meet Afro-Americans of broad intelligence and good character in a larger way than he had been able to do while a resident of Indiana and Illinois. The exceptional men and women of the race that he met in Washington taught him that there were people among the Afro-Americans, as among all people, who were superior to the common mass, and that wherever such a manifestation is found there is always a fair prospect that the great mass will steadily feed the exceptional few; indeed, mankind are judged everywhere by their exceptional men and women, and not by their commonplace mass. What attitude Mr. Lincoln would have taken after the war on the proper adjustment of the Afro-American's place in the new conditions and citizenship of the Republic should be estimated not by his earlier but by his later attitude towards them. He would not have been disposed to go as far as such radicals as Charles Sumner, Thaddeus Stevens, and others in the Congress, but we are sure that he would have gone a great deal further than those who have been using his earlier attitude and utterances as a club with which to beat down the civil and political rights of the Afro-American people, because he was a growing man; he grew from the hour that he was born in a Kentucky log cabin until the hour when he was cut down by the act of an assassin. With such a man it is not easy to estimate what he will do under any given condition of affairs, as he will always act with the best information at hand and in the broadest and most humane way. Happy are the people who in a time of great trial can have such a man as Abraham Lincoln to guide them through the storm into the haven of national peace and security. The Afro-American people are happy that they can share as freemen in the glory of so illustrious a character in the national life, and they are proud that in the hour of greatest stress they were enabled to put their hands to the gun and help him preserve the Nation intact for posterity as it had come down to us from the Revolutionary Fathers with the institution of slavery dug out of the foundation of the government, never to have a place in it again. Thirty-Two Million Dollars for Education This is a big country and things are done on a big scale. Fortunes have been accumulated in the past fifty years which make the fortunes of fiction writers look very small. Mr. Andrew Carnegie has given away fortunes in the past ten years which were beyond the dreams of our ancestors, while the wealth controlled by Mr. Rockefeller can only be guessed at. Mr. Rockefeller has given nearly $100,000,000 to the cause of education in one way and another. And he has been entirely democratic in his giving. He has not been governed by the questions of race or of section. Indeed, most of the great benefactors of mankind, they who have returned to the public some of the wealth they have been enabled to gather by tribute on the industry of the people, have been people of very Catholic disposition in their largespaces. This was peculiarly true of George Peabody, the pioneer in large giving for educational purposes, and of Peter Cooper, and equally true of Mr. Andrew Carnegie, Mr. John D. Rockefeller, the late William E. Dodge, Collis P. Huntlington, and others. The John F. Shetter and David Hand funds were given for a special reason and purpose. Mr. Rockefeller has just announced a donation of thirty-two millions of dollars, through the General, Education Board, to which he had previously given eleven million dollars, to be applied in the main for the relief of the smaller colleges. The Board will have, however, a freer hand in the application of the income of this last enormous gift. That means the colleges are not merely in the strength and character of their work by the expenditure of the income of this vast sum, and that the general education of those were attend these colleges, with resulting Benefit to the whole people, be benefited in every way will be generally acknowledged. It is probable also by a reservation in the gift that industrial and agricultural schools may share in the benefit. The General Education Board and the Southern Education Board grew out of the joint thought and efforts of the late William H. Baldwin Jr., Mr. Robert C. Ogden, and Dr. Brooker T. Washington, and were intended to accomplish the very work which the means placed at their disposal by such an as Rockefeller --- and white envelopes than to do and which is being done with palmwriting throughout, and we begin with a breakfast in the diplophony of the bumblebee which does not always appear in the published statements. Dr. Wallace Butterick is the chief functionary of the General Education Board, and he has systematized the work so that the strength and weakness of every school in the country are known, or will be, when the work has been finished along the lines mapped out in the beginning of the work. The country should grow more rapidly in general education in the future than it has in the past when the vast sums raised by public taxation for common school purposes are put by the side of the vast sums donated by philanthropists for higher and technical education. There should soon come a time in the history of the Republic when there could not be found a person without a common school education, at least. The Red Headed Watson The Red Headed Watson Thomas E. Watson, the red-headed Georgia Populist and literary humbug, who came to New York some time ago and started a magazine which burst up his cash and that of all the others who invested in the scheme, has now determined to start a string of newspapers and magazines in the Southern States. We do not think the scheme will pay any better than the New York venture did, and we are sure that it will do no more good. The fact of the matter is that Thomas E. Watson is built wrong in his head. We have known of him in politics for a great many years, and he has always been on the wrong side of every right question, and we believe that he is too old to reform. Mr. Watson's short stay in New York may have taught him not to eat soup with a fork, but we do not believe it taught him that the American people outside of the Southern States do not want and do not need the sort of bastard doctrine of citizenship and economic science, which he has in his head and spew out of his pen. The Republic does not need Thomas Watson's sort. High Cost Of Living In Cities High Cost Of Living In Cities The poor of all of the large cities of the country have a hard time all of the time, but they fare hardest in cold weather, such as we have had this Winter and have now. The cost of living in New York has greatly advanced in the past few years while there has been very little advance in wages of labor, certainly as compared with the cost of living. Indeed, this latter is abnormally high, although there never was greater production in food products than new, and when it was easier to get fuel from the mines to markets. And then there has been an enormous advance in rents in the past few years, due to the increased cost of materials for construction, taxation and the cost of skilled labor. It is growing more expensive every year to live in the large cities, but there was never a time when more people are congregated in them and when they have found it harder to make both ends meet. Projects to get them to buy homes in the suburb, especially After Americans, have all been failures up to this point, several propositions of that sort now on foot in New York having had no success whatever; but conditions, are getting to be such that they will have to take to the suburbs after awhile, as other races here have done and are doing. Way To Meet Vile Southern Daily Journalism Our esteemed contemporary, The Philadelphia Tribune, which has had a long and fairly successful career as a weekly newspaper, has been issued as a daily for the past three weeks, and we hope that it will be published as a daily paper for the remainder of its natural life. There is plenty of room for such a paper in Philadelphia, and there are plenty of Afro-Americans there with business enterprises in full swing and money in their purses to make a success of it. And they need such a paper, not as much as they do in Baltimore, Washington, Richmond, Charleston, Atlanta. New Orleans and Memphis, but they need it in Philadelphia all the same, and we hope that they will support it, now that they have it. We need not expect to get a square deal in matters affecting us in the daily and periodical press, until we have papers of our own, and this is truer of the Southern cities we have named than of those in the North and West. The service the white newspapers of the South give the Afro-American people is in the main damnably infamous. With rare exceptions they are villainously antagonistic and often provokingly insulting, some of them flatly refusing to employ a prefix to the names of Afro-American men or women. In most of the cities of the South the daily newspapers will not publish the actual news of importance affecting Afro-American uncles. It is written out and taken to the city editor, with a hegging plea that he use it. We know this to be the case in Washington, as far as The Washington Post is concerned, although the editors of all of those papers have thousands and thousands of Afro-American readers who look in vain for the news in which they are interested The Washington Evening Star is not included in this list. It has a large number of Afro-American readers and has the magnanimity to reflect this fact in its news and in its editor's columns. But of all the daily newspapers in the South it stands by itself in this respect, even if we include those daily newspapers which have "A Colored Column". In which they jam all of the news and opinion they care to give their Afro-American readers. It is a crying shame that the large Afro-American population of Washington; and the other Southern cities we have named, should have no daily newspaper of their own. They read white-dollar newspapers fast enough at six cents per copy and often get ten dollars' worth of inquiries and down-right misrepresentation, brazed lies, but they seem to countless it day in and day out without stopping. No other people on the floor of the globe would do it. To this is aid of the most important things in the whole plaguing Southern situation—the insistence and bravery of the editors of the White daily newspaper and the apparel compasscney who which Afro-Americans swallow their dirt and pay for it. As far as the Afro-Americans of Washington are concerned they have no excuse whatever. The Philadelphia Daily Tribune has our best wishes. May its days be long and prosperous in the land of the living. Mr. Edward S. Shefton, our artist, is a young man who comes from Georgia and who has had few advantages of education and little instruction in art. He will get as much of the latter in New York as possible. But Nature has been kind to him. He has the temperament of the true artist, plenty of ambition, and can take advice as readily as water runs off a duck's back. A man with some real genius, a studious disposition, who does not think that he knows it all, will make his way in the world, wherever his lot may be cast. We think Mr. Shefton has a future as a cartoonist, and we are proud of him. And since we began to run cartoons we have been surprised at the number of persons in all parts of the country who have a genius for that sort of thing and who have sent ss. samples of their work. When we are in better shape, when we have got The Ace in a position such as we are now working for, we hope to give all of our cartoonists an opportunity to show what they can do. The Pennsylvania Farmer who is writing a series of articles for Tir Am on the value of the farm and the necessity of developing the farm as a person would any other business, hit the hall on the head in his last article when he directed attention to the value of the horse or the mule on the farm. Indeed, the value of stock on the farm, especially in the Southern States, is not properly appreciated, although it is becoming to be more so. Then, the care of farm implements, next to proper care of stock, is the most important feature of farm life. The industrial schools of the South have done much in the past twenty years to educate the Afro-American in the proper value of farm life and living, and they are doing it more now than ever before, because they are in better position and because the farmers have learned the value of giving their children proper education in the value of the farm and the life of it. This knowledge on their part will grow and have its influence for good in all directions. Later on we expect to have a farm department of Tir Am, in which the whole subject can be discussed from week to week. The people of the United States have a great big sweet tooth, and they feed it all of the time. Last year they consumed 6,500,000 pounds of sugar, the average per capita consumption being seventy-six pounds, at a total cost of $300,000,000. The Atlanta News, which spewed out John Temple Graves as editor because he insisted on blowing his own trumpet for Governor, or United States Senator, or any other good thing in sight which would project him and keep him in the public eye of Georgia. Democracy, has suspended publication for lack of support The News went out on the crusade against the Afro-Americans of Atlanta which culminated in the infamous massacre there Just August. But it was not the only Atlanta newspaper offender, not a bit of it; it was simply the worst; and the pit that it dug for itself and tumbled into should not only be a warning to the other Atlanta newspapers like it but they should fall into it. The Daily Georgian, which John Temple Graves started when The News spewed him out and The Atlanta Evening Journal, are a bad lot, and the atmosphere of Atlanta, which is putrescent enough, would be a shade sweeter, if they would follow The News into the ditch. In cases of consumption the doctors used to prescribe unlimited consumption of raw milk. Now some of the doctors have found that raw milk is a prime conductor of consumption germs. Where are we at? We want the readers of Trug Ace to help us in our efforts to increase the circulation of the paper to the point where we shall be able to give them all that they are entitled to in a newspaper for the money. Any community can help in this work. We will send Trug Ace for one year for one dollar each to every club of ten persons. Any present subscriber who will send us ten paid up subscribers for a year, at one dollar each, will receive his own paper a year longer without further cost. Let us receive twenty thousand new subscribers by May 1. We have the people and they have the money. If the matter is properly submitted to them they will subscribe. Let us all make a strong pull altogether in this matter and it will be done. The Eclectic Club, of Trenton, N. J., has had a long and useful career. Mr. John M. Herbert, Mr. R. Hentl Herbert, and Mr. Alfred Webber have stood by the club through thick and thin, and brought together once a year the best element of the race from all parts of the country. It is a great club. Many Afro-Americans are making a big mistake in crowding into large numbers into the Northern cities. It is impossible for an individual to leave the average Southern State and come to a city like New York and establish himself, all at once, in his new surroundings without, in many cases, suffering greatly. In the large cities of the North competition is severe. Not only is there competition, but there is race prejudice in many of the avenues of life that has to be reckoned with. The cost of living is high, and employment not always easy to find. All these considerations lead us to warn our people to think carefully before they decide to pack up and leave their rural homes to come into a large city like New York. The attitude of the Japanese toward and the Japanese people, as brought out by the controversy over the San Francisco school question, is entirely characteristic. They have no conception whatever of the adult contained in the segregation of Japanese children from Americans and other foreigners, and point to the segregation of Ao-Meanicans in the Southern States as a matter of course and to be proud of. But there is nothing in it to be proud of and it. There is not a matter of course but a matter of force, and will not always exist. The course which other states have pursued in the matter during the past forty years will finally be pursued by the Southern States. The separation business in public places of all sorts will be wiped out, because public opinion will in the end come to recognize the injustice of it. There is too much law and not enough justice in this country. ARRAHAM LINCOLN SENATOR FORAKER'S COMPLAINT AS AMERICAN SPECTATOR SEES IT Thinks That If It Is Good and Wise to Appoint Afro-American to Office in the South It Is Equally So to Do It in the North and West. Senator Foraker complains that Booker T. Washington is interfering with his duties, one of which is to recommend a colored man for appointment to a Presidential office in the state of Ohio. Senator Foraker has been in public life in Ohio for thirty years, and during all this time there is no man of the Negro race who can recall a single instance where Senator Foraker has named an Afro-American for a Presidential office to be held within the state of Ohio, so it must be plain to the average man who uses his mind at all that Mr. Washington has not interfered with Senator Foraker's business in this respect. If it is his duty to represent Afro-American, he has not exercised his duty in that respect. It is true that Senator Foraker has been much interested, like many other Northern representatives, in seeing that Negro collectors were appointed at Charleston, New Orleans, Atlanta, etc., and really readied their garments and tore their hair when the white people in the South objected to the appointment of these Negroes to Presidential offices in the South; but it never occurred to Senator Foraker that we would have a President who was strong enough or brave enough to name a colored man for a Presidential office in Ohio. Now, since the President has announced that he will do so, Senator Foraker is entirely out of his boots, and seems to think it is an unforgettable crime. Of course, the good Senator is now most active in encouraging as many African-Americans from Ohio as possible to apply for some office in the state that the President will get discouraged by reason of the applicants, and appoint no colored officer at all. But we hope President Roosevelt will disappoint Senator Foraker and others like him. The fact is, the Afro-American of the North has been played with an as long as he intends to stand for it. He is getting to the point where his eyes are being opened, and he is getting to see that men like Senator Foraker are placing colored men in others in Mississippi and Louisiana, and it is equally right to appoint Afro-American to equal positions right in their own states. AMERICAN SPECTATOR New York City. February 9. 1907. DEAD NEWSPAPER SKUNK. Atlanta Daily Journalism on the Journalistic Griddle. From The New York Times. According to The Charleston News and Counsel we were harsh—by which, doubtless, The News and Counsel means that we were wrong—in explaining that suspension of The Atlanta News as a natural and well-deserved result of its too successful effort to cause a massacre of Negroes. Our presumably well-informed critic says that while this is a very pretty theory, the fact is that The News perished much less because it advocated mob law in a city where the belief in, or willingness to resort to, that law was confined to a criminal and therefore a small part of the population, than because the city isn't big enough to support three afternoon newspapers. It was a question which would go first The News or The Georgian. Mr. John Temple Grove started the former, but dissensions arose in its office, as a result of which he left it and started The Georgian. Then it became a question of capital, and The Georgian seems to have had more than its rival. "While," adds The News and Courier, "the views of The Georgian as to lynching were more skillfully presented than those of The News while it was more sparing of the sensibilities of its readers than was The News, we fancy that The New York Times would condemn its commendation of mob law for the 'normal crime' as one in essence with that of its laid-by competitor. The News's doom however, was sealed when the dissensions arose which led to the withdrawal of Mr. Graves from its staff and when that gentleman succeeded in obtaining financial support for a third newspaper venture." Of course it is not for us to question the accuracy of this chapter in four-nalistic history, but we do not see that it robs of the moral that adorned our tale, for it still seems to us that it was the open advocacy of mob violence that brought The News to its end. Whatever the editor of The Georgian may bolster his superb did not corpely and excite the Atlanta to the daughters of incarceration and respectable negroes, and he did not bring down upon himself the fifteen condemnation of his city and of the whole country. The News did that and perished a few weeks later under the unendurable burden of reproach. We very much wish that a larger number of our people could see their way clear to devote a large part of their time and strength to the discussion of matters in their immediate communities, instead of devoting so much time and strength to the discussion of National affairs. There is great need, for example, for giving attention to trade, labor and school affairs. After we have trained ourselves effectively in local affairs, we shall be in a better position to handle National affairs. What Some Anthropologists Say About the Important Subject—Mr. Ashmeed's Opinion. From The New York Sun. Mr. Griffis is as much in error in his recent statement in a letter to The Sun regarding the basic stock of the Japanese race being Aino as he was in his right in that in Hirodo's Empire, "relative to the affinity of the American Indian with the Japanese. The Japanese nation is not a perfected branch of the Alno' and Malay. The original invader of Nippon was Mandechurian; the same type, that of the five great families and of the Mikado, rules China to-day. The brown skin of the Mongolian of Japan is due to the infusion of Norcine Norcine, a blood type that quattreffes and Maget. The bridged eye (Mongol) is due according to no less an authority than Dr. Baeks of the University of Tokio, to bony formation of the orbit peculiar to all Mongolians. All Japanese culture, religion, education, the Shindayi language, etc., are distinctly Mongolian. Jimmu Tenno brought fire and sun and fire worship from Monopotam, and from Churin. Zoroastrian traditions prove this. The Malay infusion (red) of fishermen and sailors, which came later, never penetrated through the race. And Jimmu Tenno almost exterminated and drove northward to Yezo, Saghalien and the Kuriles, the despised white, hairy Alno, the aborigines. He killed all the inhabitants he "mislabeled to avenge his brother's death" see "Histoire Universelle des Religieux"). "To be a good Samurai (fighting servant) one must have half black blood in one's veins," says the old proverb. In those days they were not an assumed to acknowledge their black descent, but were proud of it. The infusion of black blood and Papuan Malay (neeritoid), which came from Madagascar to Japan, counts for the best nene. The basic stock of Japan was black and yellow, and not white Alno as all. The Papuan negritoid infusion brought to Japan from the Philippines the customs of gilding the lips of women, of blackening the hands at laundry, and the building of the house on pilus. The snuffing through the nose and playing the flute with the nose instead of the mouth, the mobility and funny use of the big toe are all distinctly negritoid. The very name Aino (corruption of Inu, and meaning dog) applied to the ancient possessors of the soil, who were not admitted into the relationship, proves that that hairy rass was despised and not assimilated. The extreme glabrity of all Japanese hybrids shows that the Ainoa had no part in the formation of the Japanese race. The Indonesian blood in the Mikado's veins is Polynesian. The two terms are synonymous. Mr. Griffis is wrong; and is contradicted by the well-known anthropologists, Quintrefages, Maget and Wernich. The Japanese are as Mongolian in their basic stock as are the Chinese and Coreans. ALBERT S. ANHMEAD, M. D. New York, February 4. # SOUTHERN LABOR. It Is Good as It Ever Was—Mr. Hyde's Strong Views. From The New York Times. It is a matter of wonderment to Northermers that the most urgent need of the South should be declared to be agricultural labor. In the days of slavery it was the Southern contention that the staples of the South, especially the chief of them, could not be successfully grown except by African slave labor. That this labor should have become untrustworthy, and that they should even be disliked deporting the Northen Newgrass looked like rather an inimminent confession of incompetency on the part of the superior race. It is gratifying to find the assumption of the inadequacy and untrustworthiness of Negro labor flatly denied by Southern experts. The Attanta Constitution quotes with approval an interview held some time since with Mr. J. W. Hyde, a successful lumberman of Jacksonville. Fla., in the course of which he said of the time, said: "I recorded them as the best workers in the world. I said then, and I repeat now, that I would not give one black man in the lumber camps of the South for three Indians or three of any other foreigners. We can't get along without them, and for one, I don't want to try. If Senator Tillman will give the country a rest on his negrophobia the so-called race problem will settle itself." With the concluding sentence of Mr. Hyde's Constitution, "we coincide almost unrespectfully" goes on to point out, very properly, that the men of business who have had practical experience with Negro labor are much better witnesses than the political agitators, and, that they have reached opposite conclusions. NEW YORK SOLDIER FUND Dr. Brooks Says It is Safe—Bad Effect of Ugly Surrounds. To the Editor of The New York Age: Without consulting Dr. M. W. Gilbert, the pastor of Mt. Olivet Baptist Church and Museum of the Fund raised in this city for the soldiers, I am sure he can at a moment's notice give the public the information of the amount of money received, the amount expended, the purpose for which it was expended, the amount in bank, and which bank. If we had five times as much ever penny would be needed for race protection, and the not amount is St. Street, New there is a MEET IN A NEW CHRISTIANITY THE NEED OF AFRICA A Native African's Views on the Re- quests of the Bank Continent— Council Criticism of Curtain Tund- denes Attributed to the Race in America—The Solution to Come From Whalia To the Editor of the New York Age:—Referring to your article entitled, "The Redemption of Africa," published in last week's Aur. I fully agree with you that the "redemption of Africa will not come through the white man." In its original sense, to redeem a man means to remove him from whatever obstacles in which he may have been entangled; to develop his mind and body to a state of vigorous manhood, to think and to act for himself, in other words, to make him a free man. Thus Christ speaks of the redemption of the world, that is, the emancipation of mankind from the destructive influences of evil. It is evidently clear, therefore, that a race so heartless, so unsympathetic, and so imperious as the white race can never in the true sense of the word, elevate the backward race to the stage of independent manhood. It is not the practice of imperialism to free men, but to keep them in subjection; not to raise independent thinkers, but to crush genius whenever it attempts to rise among the ruled. In its dealing with a backward race, the most "creditable work" of an imperial race is always on the material side, and never on the spiritual. Great Britain went to South Africa to preach Christianity, but as soon as the diamond mines were discovered the converted the population of that territory into virtual servitude; King Leopold was sent to Congo to start a work for the "moral and material regeneration of the natives, and to eradicate slavery," but he has labelled all the forests of that region and placed the natives under inexplicable lepis-faction. Germany, too, has a hand in this game of discreditable despilation; the deplorable condition of affairs in her African colonies is the inevitable result of commercialistic imperialism. I must admit, however, that there are persons among the white race whose hearts are so large, views so catholic, sympathy so delicate, insight so comprehensive, that above the freaky of Aryan individualism, above noble temperamental perversities, above the passionate cults of "racial prepotency," their attitude towards the less favored races is always praiseworthy and commendable. Nevertheless the fact that impassioned in more material than spiritual still remains. In your article, I noticed that in outlining the work to be done in Africa, you spoke of "Afro-American missionaries specially prepared for the work," and the glorious duty that the Afro-American churches have to perform." I am not surprised that you should come to this conclusion, for, at first glance, the thought you have expressed seems so reasonable and so transparent that those who are not well familiar with African often use the same language. But if you imply the competency of the American Negro to diffuse Western civilization in Africa or to lead the indigenous African, then permit me to take the negative side of the question. Americans Africans it takes a man of profound self-respect. Facial originality and separate personality, to become a leader. If the American Negro has these qualities, he will be able to help us in working out the destiny of Africa; if he has not, he will remain what he has been in the past. During the American slave traffic, the master devised all sorts of schemes to keep his slaves in a state of moral weakness, by teaching them to hate an another, by putting various incompatible elements together, and by separating children from their parents in their infancy, a practice which made it impossible for the mother to impart her knowledge of African traditions to the child. Because of this practice, in course of a few generations, the African lost not only all traces of the lofty traditions and sweet legends of his native land, but even his mother tongue. Anything that his master thought would remove him far and farther was a fitting subject. The Negro was taught that Africa was covered with lions, elephants, tigers, crocodiles, and all sorts of destructive reptiles; that the people of Africa were all naked savages and cannibals. He was tabbed that white was the chosen color and that his skin color and features were varied in color and features of misrepresentations and the use of unkind terms, the white man painted his race before him in the darkest colors possible. As result of this, the Negro in exile gradually lost self-respect and finally became ashamed, not only of his racial identity, but even of his own personality. Thus in America, the Negro has tabooed and is ashamed of anything that is African; indeed, he employs all the vague terms that he thinks will remove him from the "Anthropharpii, and the cannibals that each other eat." But the counter reaction of this said spectacle more implorable. I said that the Negro in Boston feels far removed from the Negro in Alabama; the Negro in Washington feels removed from the Negro in Georgia; the Negro in New York feels removed from the Negro in Virginia; the Negro in Virginia feels removed from the Negro in Tennessee, and so forth. Pirlona the "Afro-American" is not responsible for the inevitable result of his former training but the fact that he has learned a hard confession, he has never been able to lead himself; he is therefore incompetent to lead others. The American Negro has no racial originality. Derricativen from his natural source of life and vitality, he is in a state of moral confusion and physical deceptive. It is easy to make him believe that he is this or that person when in reality he is not; but in letting the indigenous and groping him he adds to the canal for the requisite, the adventitious for the essential. He has not separate personality. After the importation of the African to this country, the American Christians thought that they could up-root the sturdy indigenous palm of tropical, Africa and transplant it to the ivy soil of Lapland, and that they could obtain from it, apples, peaches, and horse chestnut for the fruit market. Imbued with this idea, they tore the African from his natural source of life and sustenance and grafted him to the Anglo-Saxon tree. As a result of this debased artificiality, this disregreatable hardy; this diabolical unnormation of the natural; the life of the American Negro becomes a suspended animation. He is not wholly African, he is not wholly Anglo-Saxon, he is not wholly French, he is not wholly Spanish. What is he? "A colored man." However desirous he may be, this state of affairsta in a hindrance to his usefulness in the future development of Africa. It is true that in this country the race has produced great men of national reputation, but if you were to place the leader of American Negro in Africa to try to d the Fantee or the Zulu, the Mandi or the Kroo, he will be at a loo are Negro bishops and ministers from this country in Africa trying to lead the native, but M you the North-American robin to the powerful winns of the African eagle and let it lead him through the intricacies of the dome former, you will have a picture of how the American Negro appears when he tried to lead the indigenous African. In other words, when the hybridized suspended animation comes in contact with the deeply rooted life of the native born African, we have the inertile degravitation of the former to the latter. Again, the "Afro-American" church is not in condition to take Christianity to Africa. The reasons for this deficiency are man-made, irrevertable as we shall not notice immediately. In the first place, the neurotic religion of the American Negro is but a recrudescence of the paganism of Central Africa in different form. His worship is characterised by great eloquence and little logic, excessive emotionality, physical contortion, and uncles' screams. In these days of alteration and augmentation, social upheaval and intellectual unrest, his theology is like the law of the Medea. His idea of Heaven and hell is sadly fixed in the wrong place. Indeed, his paganised Christianity has been more harmful to him than beneficial. In the second place, the "Afro-American" ministry is in a deplorable state of intellectual poverty. This may sound like a firecracker, nevertheless it is a fact—the nucleus of many a discreditable episode. In America the minister is really the leader of the masses of the people. Such great thinkers as Miller, DuBois, and others do not reach the people so closely as does the preacher. This is particularly true of their influences. Dr. DuBois's passionate pleas for the training of "the talented tenth" may be looked upon by the masses as theoretical and unelement, but they will accept the same suggestion without any criticism if made by the man behind the Bible. In fact, with the exception of Dr. Washington, perhaps there is no other member of the race who influences the masses more than minister who conducts the mini-meetings of the religious conferences. The preacher is considered a chosen being and his view is looked upon as a quasi infallibility. I know of cases in Chicago, Detroit, Buffalo, and Philadelphia where the home life of many a family is shaped according to the theology of their pastors. For this reason the minister should be of the best type, both morally and intellectually, but with few exceptions the very opposite has been the case. The pulpit is crowded with men who are inexcumely ignorant, not only of the Bible, but of the tremendous world in which they live. While in this condition if the "Afro-American church should to Africa to Christianize the nation, I am afraid the church and the native will sink deeper in paganism. Again, let us turn to the vital condition you have raised. You may you believe that "the African people are capable of developing a Christian religion adapted to their genius, and evolving systems of government out of the present tribal governments." But you ask, "Can it come from within?" For an apparent reason, I cannot express myself freely or so deeper into this important question as I should like to do, but I must say that you have touched a fact too frequently overlooked by outsiders who attempt to write about Africa. It is very true that the development of Africa will be done through Christianity, but Anglo-Saxon Christianity, with its evils of vampire individualism, race prejudice, destructive imperialism, liquor traffic, and ethical intolerance, is certainly deficient. As contemporary Christianity developed from the silly and dogmatic prescriptions of Judaism, as Protestantism developed from Papal imperialism of Rome, as Puritanism developed from the creedal aristocracy of England, so will a new form of Christianity for the African race develop from the present commercialism. The initiative of this great change will come from men of pure African blood—Africans in appearance, Africans in body, Africans in spirit, Africans in pride, Africans in thought. Grave Complications Feared — Haiti Has Friction With Us, Too. From The New York Times. Port Au Prince, Feb. 10.—The relations between the Governments of Haiti and Germany are strained owing to the refusal of the German bankers, Hermann & Co., to obey the order of the court at Port au Prince and return to the Haitian Government large sums of money from the United States, fraudulently. Among the alleged transactions of Hermann & Co. with the Haitian Government was one which is said to have proved favorable to the Government. This was concluded by the Haitian Minister of Finance, the German Legation and Hermann & Co. The German Minister demanded that this transaction, as well as others, be annulled, but the German Minister denied offensive russified to acquiesce. The German Minister at the same time demanded the withdrawal of the phrase objected to. This also was refused. Fears are entertained here of grave complications. The official Monitor recently published notice of the expulsion of Mr. Mansoura, an American citizen, but Mr. Furniss, the American Minister, believing the call for the man's expulsion unjustified, asked for the withdrawal o the order. This, however, was refused, and Mansoura has left here for New York. The seal of the American Legation has been placed on his shop. TURN TABLES ON BROWNSVILLE. Major Penrose's Defense Alma to Show That the Northwest Hectares That Police Shot Up the Twenty-Fifth, Dallas, Ft. F. Feb. 11—Now tactics were adopted by the defence to-day in the Major Penrose court-martial. To-day's move would seem to be for the purpose of proving that citizens of Brownsville were the raiders and were trying to "shoot up" the soldiers instead of the soldiers "shooting up" the town. Col. Glenn and Police Lieutenant Domingues of Brownsville on the witness stand under cross-examination nearly all day. Col. Glenn developed that it is Summer in Brownsville police wear khaki uniforms and felt hats similar to those worn in the army. The defence sought to prove that it was policemen thus uniformed who created the reign of terror on the night of August 13, and that they resembled United States men. It was also asserted that there were seven policemen thus uniformed on duty that night, that all of them are Mexicans, and all dark enough to be easily mistaken for Negroes. Committed to Awalt Outcome of Corporal Knowledge. Trial DENVER. February 9.—Zemra Andrewa, a former private in the battalion of the Twenty-fifth Infantry which was discharged by order of President Roosevelt for alleged participation in the Brownville riots, and who is believed to be the person who sent anonymous letters to military officers at Fort Reno stating that the writer knew of a plot to kill Cant. Macklin, was committed to jail by Judge Lewis of the Federal Court yesterday, to await the outcome of the trial of Corporal Edwin Knowles, charged with ab oting Capt. Macklin.

ELEGANT FLATS To Let. Handname Apartments with all improvements at Moderate Rentals, in THE DULLY-MOUNT, 811 W. 60th N. From The New York Evening Post. WASHINGTON, February 10—The continued adherence of the voting negroes in the United States to the Republican party is one of the strongest indictments that can be brought against them to support the charge that as a race they do not think for themselves, but are moved about like pawns on a chessboard by statute politicians. The pretences of affection and regard for the negroes which Republicans, leaders voice from time to time try one a patience when the motives that control them are known. The present investigation by the Senate committee of the Brownsville affray offers fresh proof of the lack of sincerity of leading men of the party that freed the slaves. Mr. Roosevelt has not given up his purpose of appointing a Nerro to some well-paid office in Ohio. Why? To put Foraker in a bole. When the first intimation was given that Mr. Roosevelt would appoint a Federal plum for an Ohio Nerro a storm test depended upon him from all quarters of the State. The people and all politicians were a unit in expressing their disapproval. It was not the character of the man to be appointed that dismayed them. No man had been selected. It was the color of the man that gave him the more than the people of Indiana. Min. Charleston, S. C., did they want a black man in office. It was at first proposed, it will be remembered, to fill one of the Cincinnati Federal offices by the appointment of a black man. It is credibly reported, and commonly believed in Washington, that the President gave up this idea at the earnest and affirmed solicitation of his non-in-law. Representative Longworth. If the current and undenied stories are true, Longworth represented to the President a good job in Cincinnati would mean his (Longworth's) political rule. In deference to his appeal and with natural hesitation at being the cause of a calamity that might appeal to Mr. Roosevelt as both national and domestic, the plan was changed. The vaults of the fair city who call the notorious Cox their liege and master caused their shudderings and outcries when the spectacle of black dominion in the person of a Negro surveyor of customs was removed from their homeland. President Roosevelt, it is believed, has now under consideration the appointment of a Negro to a Federal job in Columbus. The wily Senator Dick, from those regions, is reported much disturbed by the apposition of the treated appointment. When President Roosevelt's intention of appointing a Negro to an Ohio job was made known, everyone said, "What a shrewd political trick! What a keen politician the President is!" It was not viewed in any other light than an attempt to embarrass Foraker. Apparently it succeeded admirably in its purpose. Mr. Foraker has not been in the best of humor since the proposal came to his knowledge, and his fling at Booker Washington in the Senate committee yesterday showed how keenly he will resent such an appointment. Washington views these things nakedly. Nobody has been innocent enough to believe that the President had any desire to give recognition to a worthy Negro by an appointment in Ohio at this juncture. If Senator Foraker's feelings of right and justice have been lacerated by the President's action in discharging the two companies of Negro troops, and if he is inspired wholly by an eager desire to right a wrong, then he is being wofully minjudged. All of political Washington believes that the Ohio Senator has hit an apologetic and an apologetic ploited and so as to convict the President of an act of gross injustice, will aid Mr. Foraker's political ambitions. Until the Brownville affray and the discharge of the troops, President Roosevelt was commonly held to be the first among the chancellors of the Negro in political life. He was their great and good friend. His action in inviting Booker Washington to the White House, in insisting on the Crum appointment at Garrette in taking the Indian in a post office had made the question of the country a political unit given wholly into his keeping. When the soldiers were dismissed without honor the Negroes turned on their one time chancellor. Mr. Roosevelt was denounced bitterly by ministers in their churches and at public meetings. Senator Foraker saw his chance and seized it. Now the black people have turned to him as their shepherd. When they have served his purpose will they have feasted friends of the race in politics have done is a question that leading Negroes might do well to ask themselves. The docile delegates from the South to Republican National conventions are always factors when there is an evenly fought contest between the candidates. Senator Foraker may think that he will have some use for them in 1908. Vice President Fairbanks has not neglected to take steps to have them rally around his standard. If Senator Foraker finds that he is not strong enough elsewhere to use the black men in furthering his personal ambitions, his defence of the discharged soldiers may give him a hold upon their brothers in the South that will enable him to "deliver" their votes to some other candidate. The control of the Southern delegates to the 1908 Republican convention, it is expected, will be a factor in determining the result. The angle that very solidarity of the Negro in politics is a source of weakness instead of strength. His plight in this respect is analogous to that of the eleven Southern States which have lost much of their political prestige because of the forkknowledge that they will always go Democratic whoever the candidate or whatever his qualifications. So long as the Negro remains a docile unit in the Republican party he will be at the mercy of assuring and ambitious politicians, who will use him as a stepping stone to higher things, and having used him, will pass on without turning, leaving it to his successors to do the same thing. When exigency of occasion demands, the Republicans distribute political crumbs to the Negro. They have to be careful not to render aid for the services he has rendered either as a voter or as an issue. It has come to be that the Republican party is under deeper obligations to the Negroes in its ranks than the Negroes as a class are to the Republican party. What happened in the war time when the Emancipation Proclamation was signed, the Republican party of to-day is not held together by a common love of great moral principles. The present Republican party is a business machine and worrbing success as its god. It is organized and conducted to win elections. Its sense of discipline is strong: the individual must give way to the organization. To bring about a split in the party is counted the gravest form of treason. President Hooverself with all his striking but insulted attitude, control, has almost a morbid fear on this score. The Negro is used like any other cow in the machine, but the point is that he has not been "grown" so often and so lavishly as some of the other coats. If the so-called Negro vote was an independent factor, its constituent individuals voting according to their principles and beliefs, and as each one of them saw the AFRO-AMERICAN REALTY COMPANY Real Estate—For Sale and To Let.

From The New York Sun, Columbus must be a wicked town, if it doesn't have a gambling game.

Mr. Reccovelt has been solemnly warned to avoid the show active in the role of moralist than the Hon. Charles Warren Fairbanks, who was the guest of honor last year. Mr. Fairbanks was a man of fortune, but our life upon it he is a stranger to crape and check-a-luck. There is a stipulation to games of chance in the warnings to the President, something political, presence, perhaps, a rival negro of the educated and agricultural negro of Ohio. Topics That Engage Attention Kids. The Vocabulary Chains. carbon. The buying of valuable mana, the education of their children and the building of strong character are the topics that urgently require thoughtful negotiation. The white editors insist that Negroes have a social mania; and are, therefore, diligently in search of what the Negro community wants of equality. Not so! Such a topic is never discussed in the private or public assemblage. The Negro wants equality before the law, and due regard for his rights as a citizen. Death's Harvest Time in Wisconsin.

It is generally believed Negroes are looking for special privileges and immunities on account of their color.

We are of that opinion, the time has come in the life of colored peoples of the earth when they are not going to submit to the oppression of the white man, to pose the arrogance of the whites. There was a time when this sort of thing might have been done, but that day is long since it has been done. Every man will give to his brother his due. Until that time comes, there is going to be a war, which may involve the world. Let us hope for the best, as we make the journey. Wants to Be Separated. From The Montgomery Messenger. Well, the controversy between the city police and the race segregation of the races seems to have been settled, for we do not hear any more of the matter. We fall to see why they want to be separated, and we want to be separated, and would like to see it done at the earliest season possible for we know if we are separated. We have had some bad characters in our ranks, and there are some on the other side; and when two bad elements meet there is always conflict, should it happen, who would have to suffer? Some innocent man or woman might have to suffer for that which some people think will bring about a permanent peace and prosperity, and not race troubles. A Grave Question.

Farmers Treatment of Soil in Pestitization Made Biochemical and Practical — Strengthen the Farm Bank. In his last article the writer tried to explain the use of certain checks (farm bank) and their relation to the farmer's bank (land). In this article he approaches the subject in hand. How to Keep Funds in the Farmers' Bank, with fear and trembling because he realizes that it is one of the most pervasive questions confronting the practical farmer today. The president man places a part of his earnings in bank against that time when he may need them most. On the other hand, if he puts nothing in he can't have to draw anything out in the time when he needs it. If he does not put something into his bank (and it will only be a question of time when his funds are exhausted). The principal elements entering into all growing crops are known to the chemist as nitrogen, phosphoric acid and potash. Now it is the bonuses of the farmer to supply those in case of fire, if he gets to get the best results from his land. The country is flooded with many different brands of fertilisers which come highly, recommended, but the writer fears that too much dependence is being placed in purely commercial manure, for while crops are good, the majority are insufficient, and the yield is low. Another reason: Land must be supplied with humus (vegetable matter); as soon as the soil becomes deficient in this very necessary substance it becomes sandy and porous and its productiveness is cut short, notwithstanding the vigorous application of commercial fertilisers, where it is least, once a year the river overflows its banks, leaving a rich deposit of humus when the water recedes. Now then, the great problem is how to supply these funds at the least expense so the farmer. The farm is very expensive, for insurance, one farmer applied 400 bushels of time to six acres at a cost of $0. He needed to rye which may average 15 bushels per acre and bring $70 per bushel. The straw be sold averaged over 10 bushels per acre and cost $15 per ten. Now then, let us see what his earnings are going to be next harvest. Six acres of rye, 15 bushels per acre, 90 bushels at 70 cents per bushel, 100 bushels at 60 cents per bushel, 90 and 100, 115 minus $0, cost of time, leaves $73. Now, when the cost of growing, feeding harvesting and threshing are deducted this sum of $73 is nearly cut half. In the case any weeder then, that number of farmers in the country must make a living? Another farmer buys his manure and hauls it 12 miles. This takes a whole day and is even more expensive than the manure it takes to store. It does, report to more sensible methods. Before the writer goes further he wishes to impregnate this one fact, that manure is anything that will decompose when applied to the soil, grass, weeds, straw, cornstalks, grasses, or weeds. He suspects in them that we will humus and when used in conjunction with stable manure or small quantities of good commercial fertilizer produce the required result. The writer has not always been exempt from these evils about which he had been accustomed to deal with the out of the "wounds of despair," with the rest of his more progressive neighbors. Let us see. For years he felt that stable manure was of no use unless it had been previously decomposed in the barnyard. This was a most "irritious fault." This was a manure that threw thirds of the value and one-half the bulk were lost to him. The barnyard is therefore not used for a manure yard any longer. The following in the writer's "new" method for supplying funds to the soil. The manure is then stored in a continental farmer. All the stock, both horses and cows are thoroughly bedded with straw every Saturday, or as soon after an weather permits. Every day during the following week, morning and evening the dropping, with the straw that is knitted behind are thrown forward and fresh straw thrown on for a clean bed. Mules and horses like to stand lower in front than behind (the rest better than way), hence they are constantly digging for this position at the same time chopping the straw fine. By the time Saturday comes again all the drippings and straw have been chopped fine and are in a splendid condition to be spread. Care is also taken very important, by using large quantities of straw which absorb it. Instead of dumping the manure in the barnyard to burn, bleach and wash away, it is loaded directly on the wagon, carried to the farm and mowed. By the old method it took all winter to manure, about two and a half acres, whereas by the new nearly all the land plowed for corn is manured. With a judicious use of commercial fertilizer fair prices, the new crop is manured. Certain plants like cow peas, buckwheat, rye and clover are used to supply vegetable matter to wormout soils, care being taken that they are not too green when plowed under as they tend to your soil. In summing up the writer would say buy less fertilizer and try to produce more stable manure at home, for it contains every essential that is needed to feed your growing crops and to increase your "A FARMER" Hegison, Pa., February 11, 1907.

THE NEW YORK AGE: THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 14, 1907. NEW HAVEN, February 11.—The talking of evidence in the trial of Samuel H. Knox, who is charged with killing Frederick M. Kelley, came to a closs last Friday afternoon, when Knox took the stand and told the court and jury his the trouble that led to the choking itself. The Brewing Register of the 8th had the following to say: "Knox was by far the most valuable witness the defense put on the stand, and his story, told in his own words, impressed everyone who heard it. Knox on the stand preserved the same cool demeanor that has been with him during a trial, all the wiles of State's attorney William Willett, who contradicted Minus in his statements of facts were futtle, and in many cases the colored man thinking the question might have double meaning, in repeat and explain before answering him. "Another thing that impressed the court was Knox's politeness and evident good education. To every answer that he gave, Knox used correct language in all his statements." "Despite all efforts to shake him, Knox stuck to his story, and the readiness all questions of the trouble and of his previous life made a good effect. "The arguments in the case will be made Tuesday of this week." Cole and Johnson, comedians, with their company, in the "Sboo-Fly Regiment," played three nights at the New Haven Opera House last week, beginning Monday night. It is a musical comedy which exposes the ridiculous side of the aristocratic element of the Afro-American. The cast is good, and the work of Cole and Johnson is extremely clever. Mr. Johnson is one of the best comedians on the stage, and the two artists kept the house in a roar from beginning to end. The act was Mr. Cole's song, "Lemon's" with variations by Mr. Johnson, who is an accomplished pianist. The "Ghost of Dacon Brown" song, by Mr. Cole, accompanied by the Sboo-Fly Regiment, was another great feature. Despite the raging tone, the audience was greeted with a big house and had the same success the other two nights. Mr. Edward A.

Popular Confidence in Roosevelt Mingled with Self-Relance and Scorn for Defects in Our Civilization. Tokyo, February 9.—In discussing the anti-Japanese feeling expressed by a part of the American press, all classes whose opinion is worthy of consideration, are significantly reserved. The two prevailing sentiments noticeable are a strong disdain and contempt for the papers in America which entertain the idea of a war between Japan and the United States, and implicit confidence in President Roosevelt, who is regarded as the true type of American people here are inclined to smile at the outburst of what appears to them as a ridiculous agitation, and at the outbursts attitude toward innocent children in a Christian land. The Japanese have, in doubt, been smarting under the assumed superiority of Christian nations, and such an occurrence amid Christian civilization serves, in their judgment, as the confession of an inferiority, moral and otherwise. Moreover, the successful war with Russia has inspired the Japanese with great confidence, and although the possibility of a war with the United States is not now generally entertained, it may not be amused to point out that so personal a victory has been achieved by significant retaliary Tafle's declaration in regard to fortifying the Hawaiian Islands. GEORGIA AFTER IMMIGRANTS. Party Here to Make Offers for Desirable Incentives. Half a dozen Georgia Colonels were in the city yesterday in charge of David Robinson, editor of the Southern Immigrant.

Media Association for the Study and Powered by Aboveground Incurses Useful Pamphlet The National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis has issued a useful little pamphlet entitled "Information for persons having disease of the lungs, and for others living in the same house." The following information is given in regard to the first steps in the prevention of the spread of consumption. The spread of consumption is to be prevented by discovering as early as possible, and the patient should be told that he has the disease. He should at the same time be told that the disease is curable and that, in order to be cured, and in order not to give it away, he should be treated. If the disease were discovered early and the patients thoroughly instructed and trained in being careful, there would be little danger of scattering infection. If you have a cough, don't say "It's noon." If you have a cold, don't say "It's during yourself and others. Go to a doctor, who knows, and learn the truth. Persons suffering from tuberculosis should earnestly desire to know that they have tuberculosis, that they may be infected with tuberculosis, that treating the disease and be restored to health. They should know that "bronchial trouble," "throat trouble," "stomach ach cough," and such terms, are only deceptive and mean, in many cases confluent with other symptoms. The spitting of blood, unless positively from the gums, nose or throat, is in all probability from tuberculosis in the lung. Repeated protected colds are often signs of tuberculosis. A cough that hangs on the throat, of time should always excite musculism. Among the special directions for members of the bounchhold of consumptives are: these young children, should not be weighed on a bed-room chair, any one who has any disease, should play on the floor of the sick room especially should be absolutely forbidden. The germs of consumption are more dangerous than adults, but tuberculosis in tuberculosis nurses their infants, as nursing involves a considerable danger to the child and a heavy drain upon the mother's vitality. Mothers should thoroughly wash their hands before the bottles or handling the infants' food. Patients with 'pulmonary disease should not kiss anyone on the mouth. If the mouth and line have been cared for, handling is perhaps but slightly dangerous. Towels, clothing, handkerchiefs, and other personal articles used by a tuberculosis person should not be used. The consumptives are bedridden their clothing and bedding ought not to be thrown into the common receptacle for soiled clothes. Such things as can be boiled should be as soon as possible, or soaked for several hours in a disinfection solution. TO SAVE WOMEN. Mrs. Brown, the Evangelist, Will Stiny Here to Work for Them.

In the Lincoln High school in this city Afro-American girls are hearing to cook, to "wilk" upon table, to scrub, to be good housekeepers and domestics. These girls are being taught that labor is ever honorable, and that the skilled housekeeper has open to her portions of which the bookworm may only dream. The principal of the school and the teachers say that the girls have taken enthusiastically to this work. The domestic science department is presided over by Miss Frederick Douglas Sprague, a granddaughter of Frederick Douglass, and a woman skilled in the arts, a woman sewing, etc., and eager to impart her knowledge to children of her race. Miss Sprague is a comparative stranger in Kansas City, having been born in Rochester, N. I., removing with her parents to Washington; D. C., where she received her education in the public schools. From that time on, she attended the birth, and was graduated from the Mechanic's institute, fitting herself for the work in which she has since achieved a pronounced success. For three years Miss Sprague has been teaching domestic science at the Lincoln Institute, at Jefferson City, coming here but a few years later, completing a capstone training of the pupils of the Lincoln High school. Miss Sprague said last week: "When I started out to fit myself for a teacher I had in mind all that could be learned and housed, keeping, and decided that faction could be accomplished in the field of domestic science than could be hoped for, strictly speaking, in the world of arts and letters. The knowledge will hurt no one, the knowledge will be applied to with clerical workers and the like, while a competent seamstress, cook or maid is beyond the reach of ordinary mortals. Why the career of the thoroughly com-posed slip-shod clerk or office helper is understanding, but perhaps, when all the schools begin to teach domestic science, all this will be changed; at least we will have the little teacher's eyes fairly blazed with her work which could not be concealed. The cooking, school completely equipped provides 0,200 twenty-four pupils at each session. Each pupil is provided with a kitchen, a clean and well-ventilated and all the paranormalia of as well resilient kitchen. Hot and cold water is at hand, and the class is taught not only how to cook and prepare a complete meal, but also to use the dining table, how to plan the food as no cooking qualities, show to serve the meal properly, and all the "ins and outs" of dining service. The lessons are not all theory, either. The written portion is in the form of an activity, the cooking utensils and each pupil is expected to be as proficient in the setting of the table and in the serving of a meal as in any of the other studies of cooking. The students mean not only proficient cooks, but girls well trained waitresses, maids and housekeepers, instilled with the necessity of doing all things well and in a clean, manageable detail of the work even even the dishwashing is part of the training. LYNCHERS AND SUPREME COURT. Latter Selects Communicator to Take Broadcasts to Contestant. WASHINGTON, January 28—In the Supreme Court of the United States to-day Solicitor-General Hoyt stated that James D. Mather, assistant clerk of that court, and James A. McCormick, assistant parties as commissioner to take the testimony for the court in the contempt proceedings against Sheriff Shipp and others charged with complicity in the lynching Chinookaogo, last May, on the court had assumed jurisdiction in his case. Mr. Hoyt also presented for the opposing counsel a brief in opposition to the Government's motion to change the place of taking the testimony in the Shipp cane from Chattanooga to Washington. The Court held that the intention at the intimation that witnesses for the defendant would refrain from giving all the facts for fear of the consequences to themselves if examined at Chattanooga. It is asserted that there would be no more restraint upon them in Chattanooga than in Washington. The case is signed by George W. Chandler and Lewis Shepard, of Chattanooga, attorneys, and in part reads: "We say that there is no reason in the world why the witnesses for the Government should not tell the facts about this case at Chattanooga just as they are as at any other time if the offending is commenced at Chattanooga, any witness is intimidated, the court has power to change the place of the hearing and also to punish the offending party if such a case were possible. Public witnesses are not frankly, and unreservedly all the facts of this case at Chattanooga without intimidation towards anybody. To take those witnesses away from Chattanooga and deprive these defendants of the right to them face to face and treat them fairly from them face to face and hardship upon them and particularly so if they are innocent, as they claim to be, and especially on account of their poverty. In view of these and other circumstances, which they address, the attorney-general would answer to the attorney-general would amount to a denial of justice to their clients. Grimes Departing.

WARINGTON, Feb. 11. — Perry Sermant Mingo Sermant was the principal witness this morning before the Senate investigating the Brownwater shooting. He impressed the members of the committee with his circumstances and apparent velocity, as he told his story in detail and with elaborate use of military troops. He was a member of Company B and at the time of his discharge without honor, had been nearly twenty-six years in the service and would soon have been eligible to retirement on a pension. During all that time, he might have had never been in the army. Sanders said he was married and lived outside the barracks. He was arrested by the firing, and on going to quarters several ballots which were fired from the town whisked past his head. The firing was to be seen at 10 a.m. by Wichita, airborne, and some Mansur. He did not disguish the shots of any Springfield rifle, which were used by the garrison, at Fort Brown. When the call to name was granted Sanders and the team opened in opening the gun rack of his company, and the order to break them open was given by one of the lieutenants of the company. When the company landed up and the roll was called and a private attempted to crush down so as to be buried by the wall surrounding the barracks. "The firing was still going on," tortified Saunard, "and I told him to stand up, and if he was killed to die like another." Like Saunard, the company commander, he mild, cautioned the witness to keep the men in restraint, just to defend the fort in case an assault was made upon it. Saunard mid that at inspection the morning after the shooting all the guards of the fort were accounted for, conditioned. He also accounted for the ammunition. When the Twenty-fifth came to Fort Brown, he mild, they brought along a box of loose cartridge shells, which was used to kill the Mexicans were accounted to going into the barracks and carrying off anything they could pick up. They took away caps, clothing and even arctic overcoats which the men had brought from/the North. They also picked up the partridge shells. In answer to questions by Saunard Foraker, Saunard he was not implicated in the raid himself and knew of no one who was. He had restrained to one ruse after another to get information from the men of his company rewriting the affair, but had always failed. Senator Foraker read from the report of Gen. Garlington, wherein he stated that subsequently Saunders had come to him and asked to be exempted from the dismissal threatened by the President. "Did you go to Gen. Garlington and make any such request?" asked Senator Foraker. "Yes, sir, I did," replied the witness. I told him what my service had been in Cuba and the Philippines, of the engagement in which he had participated, and that my country had not "I told him, I says, 'General, I'm a poor man, and I serve my country honest and faithful for the government and before I tell you a lie, General, I suffer my life to be destroyed, my body to be buried in the earth and cattle so out of sight, and I suffer my life to be cast out in the world a condemned man, but I tell you honest I don't know nothing about who did that shooting." When asked why he had made a special plea for himself the witness said he had been "first; he knew he was not guilty and if any others were they should be punished. TWO MILLION DOLLARS IN TIFL What the Pullman Company Saves in the Porters' Wagons. From The New York Sun. The manner in which the people of the United States are borrowing the time to travel is a grave concern. Take the case of your smiling friend the Pullman porter. Do you know that the dimes and quarters and half dollars given him by our traveling companions every year amount to more than $2,000 a day, and with $1,000 every morning before breakfast? Let's figure it out. There are about $8,000 porters in the employ of the Pullman Company. If the total amount of money that would be $8,000. But in order to make allowance for time off and for stings or fragrant travellers who give little or nothing, suppose we knock off a couple of thousand dollars every morning. That would make $6,000 a day, or $2,150,000 This generosity on the part of the travelling public would be all right if the porters got the benefit of the conditions the tips are merely another source of profit for the Pullman Company. One would suppose that all the time of a grown up in the city would be spent on support, would at least be worth $10 a week, or $4 a month, to a concern earning millions of dividends. But the porters left to let the remainder from the public. Therefore the Pullman Company, on account of tips given to its emplty-maker, makes a saving of $15 per month on each tip, according to $120,000, or $1,440,000. MT.
