New York Age

THE NEW YORK AGE The aim of the fair was to show forth the progress of the colored people of Georgia during the forty years of their freedom. The table of statistics on exhibition that was shown presents $28,416,468 worth of property. There are 2,830 public and 251 private schools for Negroes. In these schools there are 220,000 pupils, taught by 4,798 teachers. These statistics show that Negroes in Georgia own a membership of 520,000, and valued at $5,000,000. Most of the counties in the State were organised in the interest of the fair, and several of these counties sent very credible exhibits. It was generally agreed that the exhibition with a membership of 520,000, and valued at $5,000,000. Another interesting feature of the fair was the building in which was situated the slavery time relief. This exhibition consisted of slave passes, bills of sale on slaves, slave indentures, and bills of sale on slaves shown in the actual condition of the Negro forty years ago. In the department of live stock and agriculture the exhibits were good. Perhaps the most striking feature of this department was the large number of Georgia cultural exhibits consisted of bales of cotton, (long and short staple) corn, potatoes, peas, sugar cane, syrup, and such products together with a large collection of hortes, mules, hogs, poultry, and everything that represents the thriving culture of Georgia. The emphasis was placed upon the educational feature of the fair and a number of the leading schools of the State were represented in this department. A whole day was given to the subject of education, and the teachers of the State were granted a day to attend the fair upon this occasion. When it is recalled that the fair followed a heated anti-Negro political campaign in Georgia, and when, as a matter of fact, the Athena riot broke out just a few weeks before the day that was set for the burial, the burial team of President Wright and his co-inhabers in pushing the movement on to success may be readily appreciated. Letters from all over the State came President Wright urging him to give the team a chance to assistants lost hope and gave up in despair. Intense excitement prevailed all over the State. Many conservative men, white and colored, thought it would be unwise to undertake to hold a State fair during the period of such intense excitement. Even the city council of Mason rescinded the motion in granting the Colored Fair Association the use of the Central City Park. President Wright redoubled his energy and within a space of fifteen days changed the sentiment of the entire State council to the city council of Macon granted the park again, and now the colored people of the State enjoy the distinction of having had, at the viewpoint, one of the most successful of fairs that have been held in the country. BUSINESS KEN MEET Lively Manifestation of Zeal by Wide- awake Members FILIPINOS PLOTTING UNION WITH JAPAN Seal of a Reorganized Kattipunan Beater the Clamped Hands of a Japanese and a Filipino. MANILA, April 2. A factory in which uniforms are being made for Filipinos who desire to fight for the Japanese has been discovered at Tagayas, sixty two miles from Manila. The Government here has been informed of this discovery, but the fact regarding it have not been made public. The Governor of Laguna Province has discovered the existence of a organized Kattipunan, or Tagalog anti-Government society, similar to that formed under Spanish rule. It is headed by Dominador Gomez. The remodeled seal of the society shows the clapped hands of a Japanese and a Filipino. The outh of the clapped ends with the words "without quarter." In Nueva Ecija, Laguna, Pampanga, Bulacan, Tayabas, and Cavite Provinces the pro-Japanese sentiment is apparently to invade to incite the people against the Government. The President's proclamation fixing July 30 as the date for the election of a National Assembly finds a somewhat involved political situation in the islands. The President is not confident likely to elect its whole ticket, as the Independent Party is making a strong showing. Advice from the provinces indicate that parties pose as friends or as enemies of the Americans as the situation demands. Ladronan still exists in the Hoilo and Capiz districts, but the constabulary control the situation, and in the Samar and districts matters are improving slowly. THE HUMAN BRIDGE IF THE RACE ISSUE WERE TAKEN OUT OF SOUTHERN POLITICS THE-BOTTOM WOULD DROP OUT OF THE STANDING OF NINETY-FIVE PER CENT, OF THE SOUTHERN POLITICIANS. Living comes as high to the Afro-American in Richmond as it does to his white neighbors. His property is assessed higher than that of the whites when the improvements in the way of paved streets, the African resident sections are taken into consideration with improvements in other sections. License taxes, fire insurance and life insurance, fuel provisions, house rent, and, in fact, everything by which the standard of life or standard of comfort the Afro-American as it does to the white man. By this I mean that the Afro-American, without an income is on an equal footing for home comforts with the white man similarly situated. This being the case, I think & the opportunity to be equal. But not so. For the sake of argument I am going to admit the Afro-American people an "inferior" race, rather people, and that educators and students of sociological problems like Washington, Dublin, Fortune, Miller and Bowens, auror, Davis, musical composers like Taylor, artists like Tanner, statesmen like Douglas, Bruce and Lynch, financiers like W. W. Brown and Mrs. Maggie L. Walker, and the whole category of Afro-American men and women of letters and progressiveives who have made a highly favorable impress in all that pertains to the general uphilt of the Nation, are exceptional cases and stand out distinct and alone. Reasoning then from that standpoint, since these "exceptional" cases are the patterns by which the present youth and generations of Afro-Americans are being shaped, is evident in well nigh inestimable? For the material out of which the "superior" race expects them to sould and fashion in all beauty and architectural harmony is not, to their way of thinking, what every other inferior expects for his hire, and if the "exceptional" Afro-American cases in the South, who deal with the masses of their people in educational lines, were to receive this full equivalent for their success, it should then be in effect that they be led by Anglo-Saxon, who similarly labor. And this suggests to me a recent increase in the pay of the public school teachers of Richmond. In the annual budget of the city council provisions were not made, and pointers, white print and the proportion for public school purposes, but it was done with the distinct understanding that Afro-American teachers were not to be participants in this increase, which was granted, and pointers, white print and the children in so called Afro-American children, not to be the Afro-American teachers. And one thing suggests another, under the recent congressional enactment by which postal clerks and carriers may receive an increase in salaries in the reservoir postoffice, not an Afro American clerk was raised, while the salaries of a large number of the white clerks were raised, Democrats and Republicans alike. The postmaster is a Republican, all the Afro Americans and Republicans alike. The mother cost of living for them is supposedly high not their service to the party to count as much as a Democrat's needs and service. And thus it will be ever so, our "best friends," Republican and Democrat, not the cost of living for them, is good enough for "Mr. Colored Man." Good Friday night in St. Philip's Protestant Episcopal church Stainer's "Cruection" was sung by the Grand Fountain choir, Mr. Edward Ellis, Jr., director, Mr. Edward Morris, Jr., organist, it was finally rendered to enjoy a large audience that packed the church. The soloists were Messrs. A. C. Johnson and P. F. Morris, tenor and basso, respectively. Mrs. Harper S. Fortune and James Jones were the violinists. The consisted of forty ladies and gentlemen. GEORGE Sr. JULIAN STEPHENS SHAKE-UP IN CONCULAR SERVICE James W. Johnson of New York Transferred from Puerto Cabello to Correo Dakar. WASHINGTON, April 6. Amendment was made at the State Department this month to promote transfers and appointment of promotions, transfer and appointment of personnel in the consular office. The promotions were made under the Executive order of June last, and the new appointments are from the list of eligible recently examined under the new government. Some forty or more officials will ex- change posts under this arrangement, some being switched from Venice to Cordobaštok and from Jersiam to Cordobaštok, and some being a follow- ing of interest to New Yorkers: James W. Johnson of New York from Puerto Cabello to Correo Dakar as consul to fill an original vacancy. James W. Stranghessy of Utah, new consular agent in Charlegoi, to Puerto Cabello as consul. The nearest approach to Consul Johnson's new post would appear to be Gorce, a small island belonging to France on the south coast of Cape Verde and separated from the continent by the Strait of Dacar. In this grand change of all hands abroad, the State Department government has neglected the opportunity of vindicating Prof. Richard T. Greener for returning him to Vladivostok, or finding some equally congenial post, for him. The Alpha Physical Culture Club entertain- ment and Palm Garden. April 10, will be an event. Golog? Healthy State of Our Citizenship in this Bright Southern City in All Lines of Life. CHATTANOGA, Tenn., April 15.—In this historic city, watered by the Tennessee River and situated at the foot of Lookout Mountain, where "Old Pap," who, between Grant on the one hand and Sherman on the other, stood the meanest and hottest drumming on record, yet bet his lips and won immortal fame by driving Hood's army out of Tennessee, is a king of African Americans. On the 39th inst., will come to this city that noisy demagogue, Bent Tillman, who ought to grow fat denouncing and lying on the Negro races for nearly every word he wrote, will be among the Western indulgence to utter in his harangos about the blacks carries with it the prejudice, the bitterness, the spleen and the poison spite of this political demagogue who works himself into excitement which borders upon frenzy and almost a hostility to the United States Supreme Court is playing in the affairs. Chattanooga has been in the limelight for years. The Afro-Americans here, like in many other cities, are making great progress. Their material, mental, moral and religious characters have been weighed in the scales of opportunities and have not been found wanting. Although not given the opportunity to speak, the slave-born and slave-reared, like Athens, are carrying on their bending shoulders the weighty responsibilities of life and proving themselves to be indispensable factors of American civilization. The man's good for that." Educationally, this city among our people is a center of light. There are eight schools breaking the fetters of ignorance and hundreds of black boys and girls verifying education and drinking from the Persian spring of knowledge. Religiously, there are several colored churches here, the most prominent being the Baptist, A. M. E. Zion, 4. A. M. E. C. Alleyne, 1. A. M. J. I. J. The ministry is representative, among the prominent being Revs. C. A. Bell, J. A. Smith, C. A. Cleyne, D. A. Johnson, W. M. Masses, J. F. Walton, J. W. Tate, C. H. Trusty, R. E. Moe, A. E. Martin, A. J. Hughes. The Y. M. C. A. is in a healthy condition and exerting a wholesome influence upon the young men. The Chattanooga Daily Times ever and anon editorially sings its praises and thanks to help the Y. M. C. A. financially. Among the Negro lawyers whose influences are felt for good in the temple of justice are Messus, J. G. Burge, J. W. White and J. Easley. J. W. Easley assists Dr. Drosso, A. O. W. James, W. A. Thompson, J. A. Mason, E. W. Rolgers, W. H. Stephens, J. D. M. Brooom and J. W. Wheeler, whose wife is also a practitioner, have won distinguished honors as healers of the sick. Dr. Drosso assists James three-story brick building, erected by him at a cost of $15,000 on Ninth street, rents out the first story for a drug store which is the finest and best of any that I have seen in the city, and also owns another drug store on the east side of the city. Nearly all of the colored physicians and dentists occupy offices on the second floor. All the col- A lockers meet on the third floor. Dr. P. W. Rodgers, who owns considerable real estate, is said to have the most up-to-date office in the city. Messrs. G. W. Macker, J. S. Frierson, J. D. Elmore and J. S. Alexander are first-class dentists and are kept busy. The Fagala Company and G. W. Franklin, J. H. and the undertakers and embalmers H. W. Johnson and J. Johnson, a shoe store. Our race here also owns a Mutual Bank and Trust Company, a life insurance company, tailoring establishments, several grocery stores, meat markets, coal yards and splendid and substantial restorers, carpenters, brick masons, moulders, one of the foundries being owned by a colored man, the workmen being all colored. The Herald Printing Company, E. W. Vaughan, editor and manager, is well equipped and printed weekly on their website, there is another paper called The Blade. The half concerning the industry, thrift and economy of the Afro-Americans here has not been told. Taking counsel with each other and combining their best wisdom and efforts, victory is perching on their hammers. With faith and hope in their future, they tie and looking skyward from the pedestal of their racial achievement with a grim determination despite discrimination and obstacles that "In union there is strength; divided we fall; that the Afro-Americans in their struggles to gaze to higher heights either hang together or hang separately." There are several points in and around Chattanooga that were made historic by the happenings of the Civil War between the Union and the Confederate which we haven't time to describe in full. It would no doubt be interesting to hear of the Lookout Mountain incline, 2,300 feet above sea level, with a steep grade 17% to 100 feet. Walden's Ridge, a 100-foot high mountain quarter of Chickamauga National Park of 10,000 acres, where 34,000 soldiers were slaughtered in battle; the National Cemetery, one of the largest and most picturesque in the United States, where the remains of General John Knox, where the generals of the Blue and Gray could watch all the movements of their respective armies; Sherman Heights; Government Army Post, where the present time is, Sherman's Army Post, the present time; and Lookout Mountain, the top of which one can stand and gaze on seven States. J. W. SMITH. DR. FURNISS BACK FROM HAYTI Legation Clerk Held Up on Account of Missing Papers. WASHINGTON, April 8. The State Department's information concern: Stephan is that he is detained pending an investigation of the manner in which he came into possession of certain papers to have taken them for Yonea's office. Some of the papers were original, while others were copies of documents said to relate chiefly to certain negotiations between Hayti and Chili. PRICE, 5 CENTS. CHICAGO, April 8.—Dr. Booster T. Washington came to Chicago April 8. It is not too much to say that very few public men could have commanded a larger amount of public interest. Though many public men objected to deliver an address in behalf of Olivet Baptist church, when it was publicly announced that he was to be in the city all kinds of organizations and churches to deliver it, he time last week before them. People take advantage of Dr. Washington's generous disposition to say "in response to any request, which people may ask," he does not apare himself, and a consequence he addressed more different audiences and had more conferences with all kinds of people than would seem possible. He was the ordinary long before he reached the city Prof. Grant of the Harvard preparatory school and a trustee of the Tuskegee Institute, and Mr. S. Laing Williams, a trusted professor of the Tuskegee leader, were besieged by individual or organizations asking for a portion of his time. Dr. Washington has developed a remarkable faculty of making the most of his time, but he could not begin to do all that was asked of him. It was he addressed the Baptist church, the students of Armour Institute, the largest polytechnical school in the West, the Negro students of the Chicago University, the local Business College, and the French laqueat at Olin Baptist church by one of the Circles connected with the church. Other men as leaders believe in complaining and fighting. Dr. Washington believes in working and trusting. Dr. Washington advises the poor man to get help from the police to remind them that the man behind the dollar is infinitely more important than the dollar. He pleads not for favors for his race, but a man's chance. No colored man of prominence has greater faith than his race than Dr. Washington. Though many people have ranged and more helplessness in the colored race than is given many men to see, yet his faith in the future sufficiency never wavers. He has been a profound student of the regenerative forces of education and the subliminal sublimities of what is humanly possible. He has studied and watched for many years the steady rise of thousands of his people from the very dregs of human misfortune in this country. This is the foundation of the ethical vision. And the can can redeem itself by suppressing its natural resentments and rise above mere hatred of its enemies need have no fear of the future. Such was the spirit and philosophy of the many addresses delivered to at kinds and conditions of people during his three days' stay in Chicago. The heated Mayoralty campaign in Chicago is now a thing of the past. In spite of the fact that a large number of Afro-Americans voted for the Democratic candidate for Mayor2 he was defeated by a comparatively small majority vote. In spite of the fact that the vote is generally large, the number of votes cast for the reelection of Mayor Dunne proved quite alarming to the Republican politicians. But for some unlooked-for conditions which divide1 the Democratic forces and the determined organized effort of the Republican electors led by County Commission Deprist, I. B. Anderson, Jordan Chavis, F. A. Dennison, S. Laiing Williams and many others, the registered protest of many of our best citizens, would have thought about a different result. Some of our eager politicians proved such poor support for their leadership seems to be slipping from their shoulders a little too rapidly for comfort. FANNIE BERRIE WILLIAMS. DR. WASHINGTON'S ACTIVITY. What He Did Say and What Some Newspapers Reported CITIGAN, April 8.—The colored people of Chicago have this week with them Booker T. Washington, the great Tuekegonan. Coming here primarily to address the citizens of Chicago at Olivet Baptist church, Carson and northern Dr. Drew J. Fisher, pastor, he was deluged with so many invitations of one kind and another that it seemed he must give, way under the strenuous pressure, but couple, calm and asleep as ever, he met every draft mental and physical enger. He listened to his. On Friday, ple, whi the genius with the distinguished visitor, was the pery front and flower of all there is best in the life of the New York people, the gentleman, the minister, the gentleman, the physician, in fact, the lonely among the colored people of every time were represented among them. Dr. Washington spoke with his old-time fervor and earnestness and with a certain plainness of spirit calculated to help forward the people in this great city to the lake. The emotional press of Chicago represented Dr. Washington as attacking the Negro press and as embattled with their votes for a confirmation. The truth should be told: During the course of his address he said: "I sometimes fear that none (note: the Negro press) will be able to prove me, in an admitted way, devote more space to choreologing our life than of encouraging the people by constructive and positive methods of parting with their votes for a money consideration. We must consider the ballot so secured to be placed in the market at any price, that the votes were earnestly applauded by the audience. As a matter of fact, almost every phrase and sentiment was so earnestly applauded that he provided with his address. a banquet in the Sunday school auditorium of the church followed. Attorney 3. Laiung Williams presided as toastmaster. Among the speakers were Dr. C. H. Hoon, E. H. Wright, Dr. D. P. Roberts, pastor of Quinn chapel, Dr. W. E. Bradden, Dr. E. J. Fisher, and a number of others. This banquet was a particularly brilliant affair. On Saturday evening Dr. Washington met the colored business men of Chicago at the Frederick Douglass Centre, and the colored students attending the University of Chicago at the Appointox club. Receptions at both places were more hearty. On Sunday he spoke at two aristocratic white churches; one at Lake Forest, a suburb, and the other, the Second Presbyterian church, 20th street and Madison Avenue, where were present at each of these meetings. On Monday morning at the earnest solicitation of Dr. F. W. Gunsanus, the president, he spoke at the Armour Institute of Technology to the hundreds of well parts of the country who attend there. The main theme on which Dr. Washington based his talks while here was the idea of racial pride. He employed the idea of the African American 1865, enumerating some of their achievements, told how education had spread among them and pointed out that Nebraska had more than $500,000,000 worth of property. Should a race which has done as much as ours not be proud of itself? he then addressed amid cheers that shook the建筑 of the city, given to the pessimistic and downcast view, "he went on. "What we want to a greater extent in a feeling that it is an opportunity to live faith in ourselves and in our possibilities. We should go on with a great constructive work in the upbuilding of our race, rather than giving encouragement to any one who does not heem our unward condition." Some of the points Dr. Washington made in giving suggestions as to racial upbuilding in the city to live in houses made as attractive as possible, surrounded by as many uplifting influences as can be commanded. "The Negroes should seek to generate a race that will be attractive and not content themselves with mental positions." "We should cultivate the habit of laying money to pay and should distribute all of our income on superficial show." "We should take advantage to a wider extent of the chances for college andomen should make use of the University of Chicago in a much more general way than they now do." "We should seek in every possible way to be more racial criminal class. This can be done through furthering racial pride, through education, through better life influences and through better life from some trade which they may live." Dr. Washington's coming here has helped all of our people. He has cleared up many misunderstandings as to his top priorities, and has under his standard a greater body of our influential people than ever before. Dr. Washington was accompanied to Chicago by Mr. Emmett J. Scott, Mr. J. Cox and his older son, Booker T. Washington, Jr. DR. WASHINGTON WILL REMAIN FOR 'ALL TIME IN THE SOUTH Traveler Mistook Him for a Porter in Pullman Car. CITICAGE. April 6.—Booker T. Washington addressed 3,000 colored people last night at the Olivet Baptist church. In opening, Mr. Washington declared his loyalty to his race. "People frequently ask me why I don't move out of the South," he said. "It might seem to some that one could educate himself and enrich himself to that point where he would desire to tear himself away from the Negro race, but as long as I live my home will be down there among the black men of the South." Above all, Mr. Washington encouraged the idea of industry. He urged that every man see that his son learn a trade that the boy he instructed to gave him the very kind of honest labor is honest, he said, "but the Negro should rise the more dignified stations of life, the more humble stations of life that only this morning in the train, a traveler took me for a porter and asked me the way to the dining car. I told him. They often have asked me to make up their beds, to decline because I didn't know how." OTHER GREAT AMERICANS. Mr. Brunswick Suggests That Booker T. Washington is One of Them. From The New York Times. Your symposium, "Who Are the Three Greatest Americans?" in last Sunday's Times, stimulated my thoughts toward peculiar reflections. Who knows but that we have to in-day in our Nation some one whom later generations might consider even more than Washington, Lincoln, Franklin? If humble origin and environment in childhood, lofty character and aspirations, untiring application and exceptional energy to overcome most difficult obstacle in achievement field of labor, and unabashed ardor to solve for our Nation the most pressing and menacing problem make foritness. Booker T. Washington, in the A TENTH GAVALKMAN TILLS OF FIVE YEARS IN TEXAS Fourteen of Eighteen Troopers Killed in Ambush During His Service. To the Editor of This New York Journal, in our grand paper to say a few words for the Brownville (Texas) comrades. I feel much interested in them, as served five years ago by the frontier. I served one year on the Rio Grande river, at Brownville, Texas, and all over Texas. During my term of service, I was to get all the most men from Mexicans or cow punches who had any special love for the colored troops. The only love those Texas cow herders had for cowmen to get all when they needed them in their paws had no further use for us. They would do all manner of mean things to us especially when they could not get them. In all things all Texas cow punches were always well armed, and they would always have the advantage of us in that line and take advantage of us at all times. Now, especially in Brownsville, they did not want the colored men to drink at the same bar counter the whites drank from. They would always beckon to us to go around in the back empty room or to go to the pool to drink in water. Should they catch one by himself they would double-team on him and club him. Now, in all disputes, there are two sides to take evidence from. In this Brownsville case I think this: It will take all the Philadelphia lawyers to destroy the shells that contain empty shells in the streets. That is no argument at all; those citizens can go out to the target grounds and get all the shells they want. During the time I served in the army they had to get out bullets from the timbers at target practice grounds. There were continually Mexicans and cow punchers in the quarters. They could get extra cartridges from soldiers. That was a common practice. They just as easy for the citizens to have done the shooting as it was for the soldiers to have done it. I have known citizens in Texas to meet one soldier alone on the streets and deliberately show him off the gun. They should then reply to him in a threatening way, knowing well the soldier was not allowed to even carry a pistol, they being allowed to carry a gatting gun, if they should soldiers did that shooting they were entirely in the wrong. They were there as peacemakers and not peace breakers. On the other hand, if they did it they were provoked to do so by the citizens of Brownsville did that all kinds of low mean things to us during my five years of service in the army. During my term of service I have known the Texas cow herders to fire on a very small detachment of soldiers at the Rio Grande river where there was a small detachment of soldiers out on scout duty in camp, near the river bank, 18 of us, 14 were killed in one volley. Some supposed Indians did it. some said cowboys that never seen Mexicans did it that never been found out yet who did that shooting. I say this, if the colored soldiers are all put out of the army, the time will come when this country may need the black man yet. This country will never find a truer-hearted set of men to come to its rescue than the men who have their best friend. Very respectfully, SCOTT LOVELACK Jacksonville, Fla. April 1. Thanksgiving Service of the Order of Macea.

GROWING COTTON A SUCCESS IN GERMAN SOUTH AFRICA The readers of *The Student* will be glad to know that a recent letter from Mr. and Mrs. John W. Robinson brings the information that they are both enjoying the best of health in Lone, Togo, seven years has been engrained in introducing scientific cotton growing under the auspices of the Kobohal Kommune of the German Government. Mr. Robinson has been constructed from the coast and manufactured in the interior. His letter, written in September, that the railroad was to be completed in January, at which time a terminal Agricultural Fair was to be held. He was placed in charge of preparing the exhibit for the Fair, and he remained in the Kobohal Kommune. The Fair was to be held at a place about 150 miles distant from Mr. Robinson's home, and so in making his monthly visits to the place he traveled one on the rain and the remaining one hundred miles he had to ride on a bicycle. Mr. Robinson visited America last year, having been one of the speakers at our Twenty-5th Anniversary celebration last April. When he returned to Africa in summer he had very little work done for that time in the year. The planting season was on and none of the farms were ready to plant. It took a great deal of hard work, but by the last of July the entire 125 acres were planted, and at the time his essay was written (September) a good crop had been grown and was being harvested. Beginning work about 5.30 o'clock each morning by showing the boys at his school, how to build a tractor to fire a house, how to build a tractor on a house, how to build a plow to run a straight farrow, then perhaps, going back to his office to answer correspondence, or to the carpenter's shop to show the smith how to weld a tire or the carpenter how to hub a wheel. Mr. Robinson finds him helpful in many directions. In the midst of all of these activities, he statues he must often "stop and entertain a visitor" in his shop, and range one's plans and purposes. He is learning from practical experience that a successful pioneer has to be a many-man great man. He is engaged in work where practice must almost wholly supplant theory. The following extract from Mr. and Mrs. Robinson's joint letter gives some further as to the scope of the farmer's work. "Aside from my regular work as farmer, I have to superintend and plan all of our primitive buildings of which some are covered with grass; I must actually run the steam engine and with the help of my students must do the ganning and bailing of some two hundred bales of cotton; take this cotton from the natives, must spend two hours each day in individual class, teaching the boys—one hundred in number—in modern methods of agriculture; train the animals for our own use here and for settlement purposes. I must make experiments for use of commercial fertilizers to improve the cotton and methods of farming, and must work out a detailed account of it all. The doing of this work involves the handling and paying out of (thousands of dollars monthly) and sending in to the authorities. "Now, I say that we are moving forward and here is my reason: At the last meeting of the executive board in Berlin, we discussed the students from one hundred to two or three hundred; second, it was decided that the name of the school should be changed from Cotton School to Agricultural School; usefulness; third, it was decided that a text book should be gotten out for teaching the natives improved methods of agriculture; fourth, it was written in German and native tongue and be gotten out by a Tuskegee graduate. Mr. Robinson, it will be remembered, graduated from Tuskegee Institute with the class 67, and Mrs. Robinson, not myself, class 67. I will be with same class and afterward a teacher here. MAJOR PENROSE TESTIFIES Saya His Men of 25th Infantry Beat In Army WASHINGTON, April 3.—The testimony of Major Charles W. Penrose, who commanded the three companies of colored soldiers at Brownsville at the time the attack, of the Senate Military Committee to-day, corroborated in the main that previously gathered piecemeal from the other officers on duty at the post as to the events of the night, the orders given, the complaint of Major Combe of Brownsville that the colony had been fired and their ammunition their guns the next morning and the subsequent efforts to discover the offenders. Notwithstanding the inspection showed that the men were all in line except two, that their guns showed no evidence of having been fired and their ammunition of his men had been implicated in the injury until after he heard the testimony in his own court-martial, in which he was acquitted on the charge of neglect of duty in connection with the affair. The testimony brought out then and before the Committee, however, had convinced him that his men had nothing to do with it. He spoke in the highest terms of the men of the three companies comprising the battalion, saying they were the best drilled and most disciplined in the whole army, and best trained in the art of fine men and soldiers, in whom he had the greatest confidence. All the months that followed he had been unable to obtain from the men any proof of guilt, and he was not given any direct examination had not been completed when adjournment was taken. The testimony given by Second Lieut. H. G. Locke, Twenty-sixth Infantry, was important in which came the shots which were fired in the Brownsville houses. His investigations showed that few of them could have come from the barracks, but had been fired from the trenches. Twenty-five or thirty lodged bullets were of the same calibre as those issued to the soldiers, but Locke avered that that ammunition could be fired from Winchester, his rifle, his pistol, one exception was declared by the Brownsville people to have been fired on the night of the shooting, but when dug out of the awning post by Locke was found to be of larger calibre than Government ammunition and without its steel jacket. As against the testimony of Brownville people that they recognized the Negro soldier on the night of the shooting, Major Joseph P. O'Nell, formerly of the Twentynine Fortantry, told of experiments made at Fort McIntosh, Tex., in which it was shown that even with the aid of moonlight white, colored or Mexican soldier could not be distinguished six feet away. The tests were made at various distances -and impossible to pick out the khaki uniform except close by. AFRICAN JOURNALISTS—No. 1 ALBERT MAYO SOGA, Editor of "Imve Zubanteunda (South Africa) CATHERINE PERGUSON'S WORK TO BE FITTINGLY COMMEMORATED Established First Sabbath School in New York City. To the Editor of THE NEW YORK ACE: Will you be kind enough to insert an article in your valuable paper on the life of Mrs. Ferguson, Ferguson's generality known that this woman was the first to establish a Sabbath school in Manhattan. This Sabbath school was organized in Mrs. Ferguson's own house, at the corner. It appears that in this neighborhood there were a number of poor children, white and black. Mrs. Ferguson, having suffered greatly in her childhood, her sympathy went out toward all children. She was a teacher and a house on the Sabbath day and taught them the catechism and Bible. She had been deprived of the privilege of learning to read. Her mistress, for she was a man she had freed that she knew quite as much as her own daughters and need not learn to read. Not being able to read, she secured the assistance of some of the best men and women of the city to teach her Sabbath school. She was the great-hearted Isabella Graham, the Helen Gould of her day. This school was kept up for some time in her own private home, but finally her pastor, the Rev. James H. Hobson, visited the school and exclaimed that "We must not allow you to do all alone." He immediately secured the consent of the officers of his church, then located in the school and moved to the lecture room of this church. This was the first organized Sabbath school on the island and among the first in this country. It was organized in this There was one organized in Boston, in 1792. Catherine Ferguson was well known by the best citizens of this city. An extended obituary notice of her long and active life was published in The New York Tribune, July 20, 1854. In this tribute to her memory she was called a "Mother in Israel." Also "a philanthropist." She was a philanthropist, for in addition to being the pioneer Subbath school worker she founded, she was the first founder of an orphan asylum for the island. For, during her life, she maintained 48 or 50 orphan children, providing for their support and comfort, of her circumstances or for them elsewhere. Her orphanage was a caterer, and for weddings and high social functions she was frequently called upon to serve. She was very popular among the people of the best society of the town. For her devotion to mourning she died at the age of 75. There is a large movement on foot to erect to the honor of this woman a great memorial institution for the advantage of her own race. This institution is to be a center for all kinds of religious work and education, a large building, and perhaps a museum for manual training and industrial work. Also Young Women's Christian Association work and a business department. An appeal is to be made to the entire city, white and back, to all who love to pay their taxes. She was a philanthropist who ministered to the needs of humanity, white and black, and the white and black of our city and country re uniting to do her honor and to erect in the form of a building and an institution which will perpetuate her memory in the city in which she dk her splendid wife.

Liberia, with a big British loan on its hands, is going the same way, towards Great Britain. The Haytiians should have brains and money enough to control and develop the resources of their country. When they shall have passed this control and development to Americans the days of Haytian independence will not be long in the catalogue of States. The white man takes all that belongs to him and then grabs what belongs to the other fellow—if he has enough power to do it. "The Cuban Negro." If there is anything good in a black, yellow or red face the average white American has been and is unable to discover it. According to his view of it the whole of them are no good, except to labor for and be subservient to "white folks." He has, in the main, in his newspaper, magazine and book writings classed the whole family of off-color races—the Indian, the Malay-Polynesian, the Japanese, the Chinese-Mongolian, the African, and all variations of them, wherever they may abide under their own or the stranger's vine and fig tree—as no good, except as hewers of wood and drawers of water. If there should ever come a period in the history world when the off-color people come to an understanding of the fact that the white races everywhere have their hands against them, then there will be things doing, and "the white man's burden" will be all that he will want to tote. In the mid-March number of The North American, Review Lieutenant-Colonel R. L. Bullard, U. S. A., takes "The Cuban Negro" in hand and rips the life out of him. According to him "the Cuban Negro" is a conjurer, a polygamist, a gambler, a lazy loafer, given to night revelry in "the Congo and Criole dance," and all of them want to be white. He has no religion and no morals, and so lives to day; the morrow he hanged Certainly this is a dark and gloomy picture. Is it true? There are plenty of intellectual Cubans, pure of blood and mixed of blood, in the United States and in Cuba, and we suppose one of them will hasten to answer the American soldier. Col. Bullard is fair in giving "the Cuban Negro" full credit for his part in the war for independence. "He bore it as the best. It was his war," says the Colonel. "But this, too, failed, and Cuba's freedom came to her, exhausted and defeated, as it had come to her Negroes, as a gift from another." So runs the mad world away, and where it will fetch up in the end no man can say, for the white races are laying the foundation of a hatred and venom among the dark races which when the time is ripe will rip the earth with devastating wars. Conspiracy to Defeat President Roosevelt and His Policies As an outcome of the disclosures made in a letter of Mr. E. H. Harriman, in which he showed how he came to raise $200,000 in President Roosevelt's last campaign, and in which the question of veracity between the two parties has been made an issue, the President asserting that Mr. Harriman is a liar and Mr. Harriman resting his case on his published letter and the statements in rejoinder made by the President, the whole of which putting the political and financial worlds by the ears, the President has announced that he has discovered the existence of a conspiracy, in which Mr. Harriman, the Rockefeller interests and William Randolph Hearst are the prime factors, to defeat him and his policies in the next National Convention of the Republican party. There is nothing on the surface to show that the men named are engaged in any such conspiracy, but there is every reason to believe that if they are dent Roosevelt in the next convention. And why not? Has not the President swiped them all over their surface with his big stick, in face of the fact that they put up the vast sums of money, as has been disclosed officially in the insurance investigation in New York and in other ways, to pay the necessary expenses of the last Republican campaign, as they have been doing since the war, in order to have their interests of all sorts safeguarded? The beneficiaries of the high protective tariff have been willing to pay for protection of legalized robbery in their business, and have done it. There is nothing new in that view of the matter. Our tariff laws are responsible for the swollen fortunes that have resulted from the monopoly in production and transportation, and the whole condition has grown up under the fostering protection of our tariff laws since the War of the Rebellion. Those who got the protection, and now have the swollen fortunes, have since the war paid the campaign expenses of the Republican party upon condition that they should have such protection. It is natural for the men and the interests which furnished the campaign money which elected President Roosevelt to howl because he has not only failed to give them the protection in their monopoly for which they had paid, but has made relentless war upon them, in so far that at this moment they do not know where they and their interests stand. Naturally-enough these men and President Roosevelt and his interests in the next National Convention of the Republican party. Whether they will succeed is a horse of another color. But the President and nobody else should be surprised at the attitude of fight which they are bound by the conditions of the situation to make. President Roosevelt is a good fighter, and it looks as if he will have all of it that is coming to him in the next fifteen months. The Lighter and Soriosa Side of Life in the North. Northern Afro-Americans have many admirable and strong qualities; but they have one weakness to which we wish to direct attention. They spend too much time and money on balls, receptacles, and other social attractions. For a people as poor as ours, and who are so far behind in the battle of life, we cannot afford to spend the money that we do for the finery necessary to attend these social affairs; neither can we spend the time, especially when the hours extend into the early mornings, as they usually do. Many people who cannot afford, to do so spend large sums for clothing, entirely out of keeping with their income. Not only this, but they break themselves down in body and in mind by keeping late hours, so that they are not capable of doing proper work the next day. When a person frequently reports for work tired and sleepy and stupid he will not long hold down his job Our ministers and leaders should speak out plainly and frankly against this folly. Entirely too much attention is given to the lighter and too little to the serious side of life. Afro-American young people should be taught to give more attention to saving their money and getting an education, and less attention to gaudy dress and social distractions which sap their vital energy and absorb all of their cash. "Life is real, life is earnest." We do not wish to be understood as meaning that Afro-Americans should not give a fair amount of time and attention to social affairs, but that at present there is entirely too much money and too much time squandered in this direction. Friendly Southern Democrats Should Be Encouraged. The Challestion (W. N. Y.) interstate thinks Ito No. Va was "thin shinned" by some one in what it and authoritatively, recently, of the attitude of Senator Adam R Littlepage, at the recent session of the West Virginia Legislature, on the questions of the suffrage and the education of the Afro American people of the State. It thinks that we will recode from our position of commendation of Senator Littlepage because of a reported speech he made on the Federal Senatorial question in January last, in which he expressed opposition to the centralization of powers in the Federal Government, and "also talked about the cloud with a black lining that had swept over the State and put the Republicans in control" and because, when the disfurishing resolution came to a vote Senator Page, instead of voting one way or the other, took himself off to the cloak room. But we do not see that we should recede We commended Senator Littlepage for what he did in the legislature in our behalf on the questions affecting us, and he showed how he felt by not voting at all on the disfranchising measure. We still think that such Democrats in the South should be encouraged. If all most of the Southern Democrats felt and acted as Senator Littlepage did in the last session of the West Virginia Legislature, class legislation, and therefore the chief nemesis to the rights of Afro-American citizens and the consequent stricter relations of the races in the South, constantly increasing in venom, would be laid, and, as we have said, "the solid and vindictive vote now cast by both races would be divided on the vital interest which concern all of the people." In a letter to The Act, published in our last issue, Senator Littlepage said: 'Every man has a soul to save, and rights which are sacred to him, be he old or young, rich or poor, black or white, and men occupying official positions should be held accountable for failure to fulfill every citizen full and equal rights under the flag and Constitution of this Government. I have striven to rise above parties and politics, and it has been my aim as a senator of this State, and shall be so long as I remain in that important position, to look well, and thoroughly to the very best interest of all of our people, irrespective of race or color, politics or religion, and to this extent I have not on all matters voted in the Senate in harmony with my political affiliations, but on all matters have been governed by the laws of the country, and apology to make to any man or class for my course, which I am very glad to say has met with universal approval among fair-minded men. A Democrat, who can talk as straight this, and who did fair in his voting and in his not voting in the Senate on the question of a fair deal for Afro-Americans in education and the suffrage, we say again, desereys encouragement. When the Democratic party contains more such men in the South, and fewer of the sort who are seeking always to promote offensive and degrading legislation for the Afro-American citizens, there will be better and happier times for both races in the South. We render "unto Caesar the things that are Caesar's," although Caesar be a Democrat. Mississippi Republicans. As an offset to the action of the Jackson conference of Afro-Americans, denouncing the manner in which the Mississippi Republicans have been treated by the Roosevelt Administration, and endorsing the aspirations of Senator Roosevelt to the Roosevelt succession in the White House, announcement has been made that an equally influential bunch of Mississippi Afro-Americans are opposed to the action of the Jackson conference. Perhaps. But we doubt it. THE AGE is not endorsing anybody's candidacy at this stage of the game. Let the whole candidarial shoot line up, and define their position, and we shall know where the Afro-American comes in. On that point there are all sorts of observations. But the Afro-Americans of Mississippi and the South should take the party bit in their mouths and stand pat on the question of united action in the convention; it will be time enough to determine what that action should be at a later stage of the game. Any Afro-American who endorses the Referee system which has dominated the affairs of the Republican party in the Southern States under the Roosevelt Administration—a Referee system made up of milk-and-water Democrats and Lilywhite skunks—which has given all the offices that it could to white Democrats and Lilywhite skunks, all Afro-Americans appointed or holding over being over their protest and opposition—any Afro-American who endorses this system and will vote to perceive it, who endorses the Roosevelt policy in the Southern States—crushing off Afro-Americans in politics of the South entirely, who endorses the Green-blood speech of secretary Latt, which he may put in force if he should become President—such an Afro-American! And, then, there is the Administration's policy of excluding Afro-Americans from civil and military appointments and employments, where possible, in the Insular territories and the Panama Zone, what of that? And what of the Administration's policy toward the Afro-American soldiers? Let the Southern Atoz Americans boss their job in securing the delegates to the new Republican convention. That is the main point. Their political life depends upon it. The endorsement business is entirely negligible. We have been endorsing rotten candidates and sinking platforms for a quarter of a century. Let us stop it, until we find out where we are. New Political Party Needed to Sip plant Existing One There never was anything more self-evident in the politics of the Republic than that a new party is needed to take the places of those now in existence. The need is as great to day as it was in 1856 when most of the existing parties of the time were merged into the Republican party in opposition to the Democratic party, the bag of American politics; then as now, and which had become answerably the party of the Slave Power. The need of a new party is made evident by the fact that there are a great many people in the Democratic party who would get out of it if they had a decent party with principles such as they believe in to go into, because the Democratic party to day has no well-defined principles, and has had non-since the War of the Rebellion; to all intents and purposes being still a party in opposition, with slave-holding ideals, dominated by a lot of small-bore Southerners, who hang together by the cohesive power of unsearness outlawed by the Federal Constitution and simply tolerated by the people of the country. The Democratic party has been a curse and a maze to the heart, peace and well doing of the Republic ever since it came into existence, and it was never more so than it is to day. A great many people are in it who would get out of it if they had anywhere else to go. The Republican party has swung so far from the principles upon which it first got the confidence of the people that there are few principles in its policy today which Lincoln, Summer, Thaddeus Stevens, Oliver P. Morton, or others of the great founders and moulders of its early history would subscribe to and under the administration of Theodore Roosevelt it has swung loose from the platform declarations upon which he was nominated, so that, as far as the President's policy is concerned, there is nothing in it, with rare exceptions, of Republican doctrines enunciated by the last National Convention of the party. If the policies now dominant in the conduct of the Republican party are made party doctrines by the next National Convention of the party thousands of men in every State who have been Republicans from their youth will abandon the party. Ultra centralization of the powers of the Federal Government, from regulation of child labor to regulation and control of the railroads and other corporate interests is a theory of administration which thousands of old-time Republicans do not believe in and will not support at the polls in the next National elections. We believe we voice the majority sentiment of the Afro-American Republicans when we declare that they are heartily sick and disgusted with the Republican policy toward them since 1876, and were never more so or had better cause than they are to-day. Give them a party with a plank declaring for equality under the law for all citizens and they will support it. Planks meeting the discontent of other interests would make a party that would cover the dissatisfiedlements in all existing parties, and here are more elements dissatisfied now to make a new party out of than there were in 1856, when the Republican party was formed to curb the insolence and aggressions of the Democratic Slaveholders' party. Let the dissatisfied of all existing parties get together and organize such a party as they and the country need. Breadwinning Growing More Difficult Industrial preparedness, to know how to do everyday things in the most up-to-date way, and business development on a large scale are the only hopes of the Afro-American people. We said that twenty years ago, and we say it again today, when labor conditions in all parts of the country are worse, harder, for us than they were then. We have got to face the fact that breadwinners, we are not only in competition with all of the white people of the labor class, but have as well the white employer class, in large measure, against us, in other than manual labor employment. This has always been the situation in the North and West, and it does not improve; and now it is becoming the situation in the South, where trade unions have barred us out of their organizations and out of certain departments of labor. Added to this an organized effort is being made by Southern States, endorsed by a wide construction of the recently adopted Immigration law by the Federal Government, to fill those States with hard labor, much of which is to be found in the mines and railroad construction work of the South already. The life of the case depends upon its distrust opportunities. If we remain a face of wage earners, with few coworkers among us, we are deserved. We have begun to develop an employee class. We need to encourage it. The growth of it, however, can hardly keep pace with the needs of our wage earners. Mayor Dunne found the support of William Randolph Hearst such a heavy handicap that he was defeated for reelection by 13,000 at the voting in Chicago last week, although the remainder of the Democratic ticket, it is said, pulled through. It was proved in the last New York election that William Randolph Hearst is so heavy a political weight that he cannot carry himself, as he was defeated for Governor while the remainder of his State ticket pulled through. After awhile he may consider it good and wise to keep his fingers out of his own as well as other people's political pie. Mayor Dunne was liberal in treatment of the Afro Americans of Chicago, and many of them voted for him. We shall see if Mayor Busse, the Republican 'Mayor-elect, will be equally as liberal. We doubt it. In this city Republic Mayor Mayes have all been disappointments to Afro Americans, treating them as Republican Governors of the State have always done, as if they were not a part of the Republican party at all. Talking is easy ; doing is hard. A bill has been introduced in the legislature of Pennsylvania making it illegal for blacks and whites to intermarry. We do not believe the law can be by the lawmaking power of the State, but the Afro-Americans of Pennsylvania had better get busy. They do not need any such law. They do not need any separation laws of any character, and they had better do what they can to kill the intermarriage-prohibition snake, because it is bad and wicked in itself, and because it will pay the way for other class legislation. The Afro-American people have a great many small minds which insist upon butting into big affairs. The Afro-American has been a foot all of politicisms from his youth up. Whose fault is that? Every dollar a man has stored away in a safe place against the day of need is worth an average friend. If you don't believe it try to borrow a dollar from a friend. Some people have seemed to misunderstand our alight reference to the attitude of Dr. Vandewater and other white preachers in this town who resent the Americans of their faith as being a pronouncement against Afro-American churches. Such a position on our part would be an aburduity. We believe in having churches of our own in which peoplebers and to attend upon the services as they will. We are opposed to exclusive churches for Christians. Let those of any sect or race have their own places should be free as to their membership and attendance to any follower of the faith. The Catholic church is more generally conducted upon that theory than any Christian denomination. United States churches have an attitude of given church denomination places it outside of the true Christian faith. Tennyson has said that in the "Spring a young man's fancy lightly turns to thoughts of love." Perhaps, But in a more prosaic sense; in the Spring old man's armor and his large bigharms on their hands appear to turn to labor strikes on the one hand and wars on the other. Just now there are strikes and rumors of strikes and wars and wars of to say, "What fools these mortals be." The experts of the War Department have had troubles of their own in seeking for evidence to justify the Brownsville order of President Hoovervelt. Their later statement, on the offending on Company B, and locating the offending guns to two, by the peculiar nickade by the gun on a discharged shell, it turns out that a whole raft of discharged guns were used in the Fort Niobrara when the company went to Brownsville, and may have been scattered over the town, and that one of the Brownsville armory and had not been used at Brownsville at all. The country is bound to applaud the ability which Senator Foraker has shown at every get at the truth of the whole business. And so it really looks an if Brownsville shot itself up, in an effort to discredit the Afro-American soldiers. There prove that the soldiers did the shooting. Governor Carter of Hawaii insinuates that President Roosevelt has abandoned the effort to make Hawaii American in its population. Very well. But we could have told him that there was never any possibility of doing that without crushing out the monopoly of the sugar barons, who have grabbed all of the valleys and weighted the land with their effort for anybody else but a vast area of igneous sturility, on which it would be difficult to raise a good-sized American row. Mr. Lee Stannard Baker, in the April number of *The American Magazine*, restates all of the horrible facts in the Atlanta riots with the cold-blooded incitement of the mob. He gives both sides of the question. He is not a biased investigator. He is seeking for the truth, and the mob grouped it in such a way as will make the people of Atlanta reflective as well as remorseful and the people of other sections of the country wiser in things to do. He will write a series of articles for *The American Magazine* on the race question, in the South more especially, but he will deal with the facts rather than indulge in the violence. And that will be well. What the American people need in this matter more than anything else are the facts. The Afro-American people have everything to gain and nothing to lose by a correct statement of the facts. A Yale professor has announced that kissing had sprung from sniffing, and was still unknown over half the world. That is funny. A sniff is indicative of sewn and a kiss of love and affection or friend skin. If it is derived from a sniff it has a different meaning. It is a tortoise. Miss Anna Hanna says a "sniff kiss": "horred" Miss Gladys says "I know when I am kissed, and I never got fooled on a sniff kiss". Dr. Pringle says "A sniff kiss is full of malignant germs, an infection that appears up different under the microscope. Minus different. Do you ever? No sniff kiss for us; the straight kiss, or nothing." The way of the transgressive is hard, but he will stand for no other. We sympathize with the small Atro- American schools throughout the South which are finding it increasingly hard to keep the wolf from the door, because of the rapidity with which educational funds are being diverted from the schools. West for Southern education have been diverted into trusts, so to speak, close corporations, which give or withhold as assistance from certain schools as they doom good and wise. There are three of these schools in some areas within a few years, which most of the money for Southern education now attains in the main with a big string at tached to it. It may be for the best that there is some more system in the schools, but there is not much to do. We hope so, but many of the small schools are bound to go to the wall. And that will be regrettable, because there is not hardly one of those schools that is doing well, where it is and that is not doing well needed work. But the big fish out up the little fish, "and to him that hath more shall be given, and to him that hath not shall be taken away even that he hath." Rev. W. N. Bellettier's article on labor conditions in Springfield, Mass., which we reproduced in THE ACE last week from The Springfield Republic, shows how difficult it is for Afro-Americans of both sexes to get employment of any kind in the United States. But the unfortunate point, about the Springfield situation is that it is very largely true in all of the New England and Middle States. A very great many Afro-Americans have left the Southern in the past year because the civil and political conditions in the States are simply intolerable; many are leaving all of the time, and there is no telling when they will stop leaving. All of the large cities of the North and West, especially Boston, New York, Philadelphia, New York, Chicago, have hired an enormous number of Afro-Americans in the past decade. The avenues of employment open to them, the people are of the most restricted garter, and in New York they have grown more and more so in the past ten years. If a industries of the South where they reside, employment is of the kind where they reside, it is for them? That is being done, it requires a great deal of time to do that. ```markdown ``` The good influence of the National Negro Business League is felt all over the country. It has done a great deal to stimulate the business activity of the people. It has been and is a source of inspirations. The August meeting of the League, in Tupelo, Kansas, promises to host annual meetings which have gone before it. The people in the West are laboring to make it so. IN THE PUBLIC EYE $700,000,000 COTTON CROP FOR THE SOUTH THIS YEAR Enerious Development in All Direc- tions: Write Calumny Howls About *Mary Jane* During 1905 the value of property in the South increased $2,600,000,000 over 1905, or an average daily gain of $7,000, which represents about 40 percent of the true value, was over $1,000,000,000, as compared with $7,600,000,000 for the ten year period ending with 1899. During the present year the gain should be equalized going on in the value of all properties. While firm lands have advanced on an average from 50 to 75 per cent, during the last two or three years, a still greater increase has been seen in timber bound land and industrial and other properties. The increase, especially in coal and iron properties, is creating many large fortunes, but as compared with Northern values prices are still very low. Properties are hardly linked as being worth over a few cents a ton in the ground, as compared with a dollar a ton in the Lake Superior region. In Pennsylvania land hands command from $100 to $200 per cent of the quoted for some Counnellville properties, while in the South good coal lands can be had at from $25 up to $100 an inch. With the wonderful development now in progress in the South, values of such properties will be to a parity with values in other sections. With an increase in the assessed value of property last year, greater by 25 per cent, than for the ten years from 1880 to 1890, the increase in the amount that this crop now commands not far from twice as much as the world's gold output, with an enormous expansion now under way in the development of its coal and iron and steel interests, it is not surpassed by rules the day 'n every part of the South. RICHARD H. F. PAYNE Editor Manufacturers Record. New York, March 22 The announcement having been lodged against the wicked city of Pittsburgh that it was like unto Solomon and Gomorra, it has a limited number of honest men in its city of Philadelphia, who are guilty of allegation and defying the allegator was undertaken by the Chamber of Commerce. Fifty distinguished sons were to be rounded up and photographed, but only twenty were to be taken to the police because we notice with interest and pleasure the name of Henry O. Tanner, the artist. He belongs to Philadelphia, but appears for the present to have his being in Pittsburgh. He was born in Philadelphia, but far been denied a place in the American Hall of Fame is one of those things we can't understand. Sooner or later he will have to be placed there, if honest fame can be found. He is a foem in which the Afro-American has not taken a high if not a distinguished part. INDUSTRIAL EDUCATION BECOMES IMPERATIVE NECESITYS Report of Massachusetts Commission on Industrial Education—Plans Under Way in Vatican City. BOSTON, March 29.—Progress in the establishment of industrial schools in this state are reported to-day by the Massachusetts Commission on Industrial Education, which presented its first annual report to the Legislature. The commission, which was appointed last year by Governor Guild, consists of Prof. Paul H. Husan of Harvard University, chairman; Prof. William C. Kebew of Boston, Calton D. Richardson of West Brookfield, and Charles H. Winstow of Somerville. The basis of an industrial commission is furnished by Governor William L. Douglas of Boston, Calton D. determine the wisdom of creating a permanent industrial commission. The report of that body was in the affirmative, and the permanent commission was made a fact. Last year a law was passed stating that trade schools were to be established. The report made public to-day emphasizes that the industrial school problem is not intended to establish a short cut to a trade, but that two years of general training in the field will develop special training will develop skilled workmen after a shortened apprenticeship. The commission conducted many hearings throughout New State and reports that planners under the commission for the establishment of industrial schools in the near future. For the maintenance of these the State will pay approximately one-half. The commission lay down a plan for the establishment of a question is presented at some length, and states that it anticipates the active cooperation of organized labor in its plans. Some of the features of the platform are: The progressive development of all high-grade industries requires skilled workmen possessing "industrial intelligence," that is, comprehensive insight into and intelligent interest in their several industries, whatever their grade. All industries whatever their grade, need more men than are now obtainable who are capable of acting as foremen, superintendents, or managers, men possessing the comprehensive insight, interest and direction of a deputy. Such men, whether workers, foremen or superintendents, are now developed only by chance, and they are then only self-made men, possessing the merits but also the shortcomings of their training. Desirable boys (and girls) are not only self-made men, but are often actually directed away from them by the bookish education of those schools, and their purely academic traditions. They do not aim to supply the specific education required for calling, nor is it desirable that they should. In every democratic society, the schools provided by the public should meet the demands of all classes—as those who are not going to college as well as those who are. The existing public high schools serve to train students in those pupils whose training must cease on them, and at the same time they offer preparation for admission to college or some higher technical institution. The manual training high schools, or so-called technical high schools, were intended originally by the teachers, but by they have not done so, and they cannot do it. Boys are not wanted in most of the skilled industries until they are sixteen years of age. The total result is a greater number of boys and girls from fourteen to sixteen years of age, most of whom are at work in various kinds of industry in which they learn no trade, are subject to little beneficial general education, and often to much harmful education from shifting experience and environment. Hence, the need of industrial schools to supplement the existing school system, and to meet a new educational need was developed with the evolution of our educational system. Wilmercus. Such schools would recruit students from fifteen years of age who declare their intention to learn a trade; and would, therefore, be parallel to the existing public high schools, but independent of them. Mr. James W. Johnson has been transferred from the consultate at Puerto Cabello, where he succeeded Mr. Jerome R. Peterson, to the consultate at Gorce Dukar, to fill an original vacancy. Mr. Johnson, the protégé of Tom, Charles W. Anderson, of New York, and the literary spoke in the musical wheel of Cole and Johnson, the delightful comedians who make plenty of money by making plenty of people laugh. We wish Mr. Johnson that so far we have been unable to locate it on the map of the globe. It smelled like one. "Why does Waxhall call that renovated sitting overpass of his an automobile-built house," he says, after it came honoring the memory of the blinded him of a gasoline revolver. NORTHERN APOSTASY Curse of Disfranchisement and Caste Schools in the Whole South The following address was made by William Lloyd Garrison at the educational man meeting in Tewksbury, Sunday, March 24, under the stipulations of the Morris Brown College of Atlanta, Ga.: It is a singular position for one holding my opinion, regarding Gov. Hoke Smith, John Temple Graves and Clark Hoeff of Georgia, which they recommend. I hold them to be among the worst enemies of the colored people in the South, as well as of democratic institutions. Before consenting to preside this afternoon, however, took pain to consult with the New York concerning Morris Brown College. Receiving an excellent report of its good work, I another my prejudices, as Northern men were once advised to another theirs in obeying the fugitive slave bill, but, like his dillference, the act was in the interest of freedom. mine is, I trust, in the interest of freedom. Fortunately human nature is more bevelent than logical. Even Senator Tillman, who can command $200 for every lynch law, is said to be friendly and helpful to individuals of the unpopular race. In fugitive slave times a famous Boston editor was won't denounce the treasonous lynchmen who killed his wife was, with his knowledge, sheltering a poor runaway in his house. And Mrs. Stowe, in "Uncle Tom's Cabin," has preserved the same type in the Ohio Senator James A. McCarthy's lattice, after voting for a law forbidding people to give meat and drink to flying bondmen, finds himself under the necessity of helping Eliza and her little boy to stay in the underground station on the way to Camda. Let us be thankful that the Georgia gentlemen named have virtue enough to let their hostility to a race—expended in public for politics and ambition—give place to their talents with the individuals they assepse. Yet what infatuation possesses such mindful? To educate men expecting to hold them down to cante conditions is to indulge an idle dream. Once grant the alphabet to a seeker after knowledge, and the boundless universe of letters and an effort must open to his utmost extent. No real government of the people can afford to deny the best means of education to all. All nations and races are in need of an education that is democratic, republic, and public safety demands that the cradle of misfortune and poverty shall be an guarded that the baby footsteps of its inmates shall of necessity pass through it. The best possible insurance of the country against evils inseparable from lack of knowledge. Free schools and free ballots have been the safeguard of New England and the New York State. The government goes on that line, it corroborates the principle upon which democratic government is based. When Booker Washington can adduce a record of the graduation of his students, he will fore the law of the long roll, the virtue of intelligence and moral advancement applied to the lowest promising material is vindicated. It would be difficult for schools to teach the students And, when out of 50 competitions a colored student of Harvard wins the Rbodes scholarship and will go to Oxford as a representative American, it is time to stop the race inferiority and drawing color lines. What disturbs me more than the attitude of the Southernners, who are making capital on the race hate in the co-conviction of North Carolina people who have been truly helpful in the encouragement of Southern schools. Because prejudice is deeply rooted and is often the result of North, it is all the more urgent that no concessions be given to this hateful spirit. Not even Southern lynchings are so disheartening to the friends of equal rights and justice in the South, as President Cleveland, President Eliot and Bishop Lawrence tall desirabs of uplifting the colored race) in the nullification of the castes school. ] The reasoning seems to me fallacious. It is after this fashion: Granted that the constitution is violated or evaded, response is required. With supreme power in its hands and claiming wisdom most needed to solve the race problem, the failure to justify pretensions will lie at its own door. Besides, the government has to ignore ignorance and shiftless habitdom, we should rebel against government by such an element, even if, to use Lowell's words, "we tear a parchment from its pages." This appeals to the average man. The plea is based on assumptions. What responsibility has the white South shown since unsurprising all political power? Unresolved in armament for taxation, colored people, and discriminated against them in appropriations, especially for colored schools. In Georgia, as Dr. Stimson will tell you, 20 cents out of the dollar only is given to those who most need it. The state will reduce the 20 cents to 10. That is the care of the wolf for the sheep. Nor has this control bettered the governments of the Southern States. Election days show that the state is not regarding their privilege. Unquestionable parallels analyze interest in public affairs and division on subjects of national importance is made impossible by the state's race issue. To countenance black disfranchisement is also to encourage white indifference and degradation. It takes for granted that, with equal political rights, a black woman would be on the color line at absurdly low levels. It is discrimination at race separation at the polls is removed. As for the excuse that in the same circumstances we would defy the nation's law, it simply reveals the hollowness of the democracy we profess. It is a touch of the right to be a republican gambit. How much nobler the position of Huxley in a similar crisis. In contraverting the plea that Negro emancipation was absurd on the ground of human rights he wrote: "The doctrine of emancipation is not a denial of emancipation; emancipation may convert the slave from a well-fed animal into a pampered man; mankind may even have to do without cotton shirts; but all those who want to emancipate human beings can arbitrarily dominate over another without grievous damage to his own nature be an readily demonstrable by experiment as any physical truth, true, no slavery can be abolished without the slave being freed; the master will benefit by freedom more than the freeman." Emancipation proved that freedmen were not pampered and that cotton could be grown to an extent assumed of. And the same truth helps us when political morals in doubt. The pathos of Southern education is the principal's security of spending so much time in the North attaining means to keep alive schools that should be maintained by the general government. It is the responsibility of the North to benefit of local schools, and the effort of the South to maintain the white institutions is not without full return. While there exists a Southern purpose to select Negro students and throw supervised classes in the North, the schools cannot keep pace with the growth of population. If we were a sane or Christian people, we would call a halt on the wicked and wannied battleships and the schools of the country's entire revenue, and turn the proceeds into the constructive and essential work of uplifting the Southern people, black and white. The responsibility of slavery equally open to the North and the South, the lesson in far from complete. The hopeful signs for our colored friends, and ourselves as well, are in the birth of a new sentiment in the South and the evolution of much true friendship as we know it. The policy of Alabama, President Kilgo of Trinity College in North Carolina, and Quincy A. Ewing of Minnesota. Through few, they are multiplying, and leaving the jump of prejudice and injustice now in the hands of the country. But there must be no abatement of the full demand of rights for the colored people of the country, whether on educational, industrial or political lines. No limits can be prescribed for them not applying to the rights of the colored people. Personally, I hold the ballot to be a primary consideration, the only guarantee of fair play and equal rights for any body of citizens. It may for a time induce mistakes and injurious legislation, but it will not be a negative. Our forefathers conceived free government to be the highest education in democracy, and to learn by failure is the only learning that availa. To talk of preparation for voting is to postpone the vote, which is by practice and experience. No substitutes will answer. KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAS Notes from the Office of the Supreme Chancellor. Remember the Supreme Lodge will meet at Louisville, Ky., September 3d. The Temple and Sanitarium tax is due in the office of the secretary of that department April 15th. Sunday, March 24, was almost universally observed as anniversary and thanks giving day by the order. On that day a hundred thousand Knights and Ladies visited various places of worship and rendered thanks to God for the many great things which through His alwisie providence, the order has been permitted to accomplish. The suggestion of "Rally Day" for March 21 proved to be a happy thought. A great number of toddlers adopted the convention and at least two thousand meme were added to the order on that date. In company with Major General R. R. Jackson and Adjunct General Joseph L. Jones, we visited Louisville on the 24th inat. The plans of the committee in charge of arrangements for the state of theythm depended on account of the change of date, from August 26 to September 3. When the committee was shown the reason for the change and made to understand that the rhythm depended upon it, they bravely accepted the situation and promised to make the coming session a record-breaker so far as Louisville is concerned. At an extra session of the Grand Lodge of North Carolina held at Greenshore, March 12, we succeeded in satisfactorily adjusting the differences existing in that State and the Grand Lodge was reinstated. With the differences adjusted, proper progress was having held, the outlook for the order in North Carolina was never brighter. Hereinafter we leave two Grand Lodges of North Carolina. One for the eastern part of the State consisting that part of the State in which Philadelphia is situated, and one for the Chambley to take such steps as in judgment seemed proper to merge with jurisdiction over the entire State. These instructions were complied with, and on March 25, at Herrrishburg, the two Grand Lodges were merged into one and thus formed the Grand Lodge of Pennsylvania. Thirty five lodges of the thirty-five State were合并 into the meeting was harmonious from beginning to end. The following officers were elected and installed: B. G. Collier, 702 South 15th street, Philadelphia, grand chancellor, B. G. Collier, 702 South 15th street, Philadelphia, grand keeper of records; McBrown, grand keeper of records and seal; M. C. Brown, G. P. C. Philadelphia; Samuel Howard, G. P. C. Philadelphia; V. Mills, G. P. Pittsburgh; R. J. Lewis, G. P. Uniontown; A. J. Lewis, G. L. Pittsburg; W. H. Freeman, G. M. A. Chester; D. J. Phillips, G. M. R. Philadelphia; W. H. Stanton, G. Attys, Pittsburg; W. H. Stanton, G. Attys, Pittsburg; M. E. Shephard, G. O. G., Pittsburg; B. G. Collier and G. A. Nevels, supreme representatives.

H. well, who were members of the committee from the grand lodge of Maryland which attended the New York committee meeting. These bodies offered support and the Pythians of Maryland are unanimous for union and so declared at a mass meeting held on the 19th of March. They will accrue the strength there will be in such union, and the great credit and strength which will accrue to the race as the result of same. There is a great matter of matter in our possession of interest to the order which should appear in these notes, but they ready generous press. They will appear in the notes for next month. In his will John Alexander Dowie appointed Overseeer Lewis as his successor as head of the church founded by him and bequeathed to him all of his wealth to be devoted to the work of the church. He left to his wife only what the law allows her and to his son A. J. Gladstone son of the late William J. Spencer this $10 will not to far.

Nearly Every Member of the Royal West Indiana in Six Feet in Height. From The New York Herald, Kirkland, 1807. Broadway policemen think they are some inches, but they ought to see the members of the Royal West Indian regiment who were doing police duty here during the war. Many a police officer in inches have feet, and hilt like giants. All are Negroes, the flower of the dusky population, being selected by the British Government for this famous corps of colonial troops. It is more than a fine piece of art, but a member of it feels pride in every inch from heel to helmet. As they sweep down from their barracks, beyond n the billos, they look down at the livers above the little brown men, the small whites and other blocks of the town, they seem like bronze warriors of another age—colossal, overpowering, devilish. And they do more than look the part. Their officers tell great tales of their feats of strength, bravery and endurance in Africa and at other hard stations where England's glory, without thought of self. Theirs is a more peaceful mission in Jamaica. Here they rest in the cool hills, to be called in great emergencies to the city. One of their duties was to attend at the depots where food was given out, to preserve order. The pressure of the poor through the fenced in passages from street to counter war terrific. One of those Weapons Jamaica had but to tear his hand and the half-starved mob in sight of food stood still. Why this was so is best known by a snapshot taken by the Herald correspondent one morning. The contrast in size between the soldiers and the crowd explains why perfect order and quiet reigned, without yards or open a show of weapons. As the correspondent out to one of the guard: "I sergeant, turn your face; de white Buka admire your stature." And the sergeant turned a smile like a full moon in the cloudy sky. Cholly—The dentist told me I had a large cavity that needed filling." Special course of study—Cincinnati Tribune. From The Chestnut Union. Brianna has been present at the country has been created recently by the attempted introduction of race prejudice in railway mail circles. For once the authorities stand by the law and our position is a "weak-backed" official yields to pressure and we become victims of a condition that brings us humiliation as well as inconvenience. Only last week in the Clerk office of the Hotel Havlin to give a dinner at the Hotel Havlin in honor of our Congressional Representative. A colored clerk who has many years as a member of the record, of the first to sit in the court, counted for names of those agreeable to the proposed entertainment. The next day he was asked to withdraw his name, the court would not stand for a Negro being admitted to the hotel! Highly indignant he withdrew. The objection of course was with the clerk. The colored man was with the clerk. And far more intelligent than the great majority of his Caucasian fellow-clerk. Only last year one of our prominent divines was a guest at dinner given by the club. He was not allowed to dine, because the waiters objected! The mini-communities lose their waiters! "Twas only a few months later that these same waiters struck for higher wages. The club secretes help and has gotten on very well since." A Negro was recently appointed head of a division in the New York post office. "Very many white men under him. They are still drawing their salaries!" A Negro in New York was appointed Revenue Collector for one of the richest districts in New York. "If nobody has resigned, and hundreds of white applicants applied for positions under him. If these "high-strung" people are not in favor of the superiority of the Negro" and "Social Equality" would get down to study and imitate the intelligent and well bred of the foolish pride that makes them appear so ridiculous to thinking people." DIVORCE EASY IN ABYSSINIA. Dismissed Parties at Rendale Court— Renegil and fila Court. From The Washington Post. Divorces in Abysinia are scourer and yet easier to obtain than anywhere else in the world, according to Frank R. Mowler, Addis Abelia, Mr. Mowler has just returned from the country of King Menelik and is filled with strange tales of that land. "As in every other kind of dispute in Absession, when a man decides to get a divorce from his wife he calls a court to order it. The judge said Mr. Maweer, "A man and a woman will be traveling, for instance. Perhaps they have lived together in communal joy for many years, but they agree not to become the judge. Another is selecte) as his attorney and still another as the defence for the court. Court is then held informally by the side of the public, and the judge is accorded accordance with the facts. If the divorce is granted the man and woman go their respective ways, parted probably forever. I had an English friend, an engineer, who taught me the rance and offered himself as a judge just for the experience. He wound up by timing each of the parties to the suit costs amounting to $15. But neither had any of them pay any of all the expenses of the trial himself. "It is a long way to Memelik's country" continued the Consul-General. "After one has left the ship and journey compelled to travel twenty days over the mountains on mule back before he comes to the capital of Abyssinia. And when he gets there he finds the King in a palace building of the sumptuous art and best building of Washington. The King himself receives you with his legs drawn up under him and sitting on a raised dau. His lips are thick and his nose pores. He like that the average man. Burk of him with a hundred of his courtiers, men with spears and short skirts. "Memelik is a strenuous and powerful anchem. Contrary to general supposition, he is a nineteenth husband. He gets up early and transacts a great deal of work in a day. Crude though he may be, he must have had much in him to rise from low station to the highest and to maintain his power to the highest and to design the designs of the Powers of Europe." FREDERICK DOUGLASS. A Notable Book by Dr. Booker T Wanlangleh From The New York Sun The notable life of Frederick Douglass which Booker T. Washington has written (George W. Jacobs and Company, Philadelphia) should stand by itself and not be buried in series, like the "American Negro advocate of emancipation, written by the foremost Negro of the day, is a book that leaves no room for apology or excuse. Its literary quality is of the highest, the historical perspective is admirable, the character is convincing, the匀荤ness with which matters are dealt with that have been the subject of passionate dispute is beyond all praise. Regarding the early years of the great Negro orator the author has been able to hold his own in the debates he told. His career after he escaped from slavery is described temperately, with frequent quotations from the speeches and writings. The biography, like Mr. Washington himself and the work he is doing, as a stubborn fact in the way of all effort to establish intellectual activities of the Negro race.

THE NEW YORK AGE THURSDAY, APRIL 11, 1907 Presentation of President Allen's Picture—Basketball Team Vorticature JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. April 8. A very pleasing feature of chapel exercises. Friday morning, April 5. was the presentation of a large and beautifully framed picture of President B. F. Allen. The entire affair was planned and directed by the students as a token of their loyalty to, and appreciation of, their able and beloved leader, President Allen, and it came to him as a complete surprise. Chester Kimbrough, class of '07, was master of ceremonies, and his well-delivered speech was followed by appropriate speeches from other students, as follows: Glancee Davie, Ruth Cooper, '07; William Scott, Zenobia Jackson, '08. To these speeches President Allen replied in words that graphically portrayed their appreciation for the act of the student body. The visit of Bishop Caldwell of Philadelphia was heartily enjoyed by all. His address before the faculty, and students was an inspiration to so many, and effort of the part of each of them and, as a participant in the recent conference in South Carolina, his optimistic views and discussion of the future of the Negro in the South and other sections was appreciated. A liberal collection for the Frederic Douglass fund was recently taken, in which both faculty and students gladly participated; each one feeling himself monotony of our own "Grand Old Man," picture of whom should be found in each home and school house; and the autobiography of the man who graduated from slavery and whose diploma was "written" with a familiar topic with our school children. "An old-fashioned spelling bee" produced valuable entertainment for our young people on the evening of the 5th, for neither the Chief Executive of the nation, nor any other power, has yet, simplified English spelling that the averaged learner can work, can master the intricacies of a language that perpetuates, century after century, such peculiarities of form and pronunciation as co-o-g-h — cough do-o-g-h — dough, etc. In this spelling match, Mina Mattie Scott, sophomore, monographs Jason Johnson, won first prize. $8 Edward Vile, former, Hancville, Missouri, second prize, $1 The baseball game, played April 6, between Lincoln Institute and George R. Smith College ball teams, at the former's athletic park, resulted, as was to be expected, considering Lincoln's victories on the field. The team was in favor of 16-10 in favor of Lincoln. Needless to say that Manager West was all smiles. Lincoln students entertained for the teams in the evening and rendered a literary and musical program that reflected much credit upon Lincoln Institute and that brought rounds of amusement from the students. All the world loves an honest winner, and we were pleased to note this mark of magnanimity on the part of the conquered. The young men composing the George R. Smith team were a fine-looking set of stalwart young men, and Lincoln students will welcome to her courses of study as well as to her gridiron and diamond. We here repeat a sentiment to which we have given utterance on many occasions, but in still true, and may bear in its young men and women; and as the season has now come, when they will literally pour out of our educational institution, we will represent it as men and women of the world, we trust, that, in the words of Editor Moore, in last week's issue of THE AUG. in that excellent article, "What We Need to Know of New York," we shall all act upon the principle that, "No enmity is made by building your race up, or making possible the employment of those who are each of us, and college." This is the principle of true race pride and race integrity. JOSHRINE SILONE-YATES. Waterbury, Conn. 90164. Newark Notes.

The color line it lies back of the trouble which led to the abandonment of the business will be resumed. The little lunch room was running smoothly, the newshewlet, a colored lawyer, with L. G. Gregory, another colored barrister, entered the bar and took seats at a table, Mrs. A. Lambert, who has been conducting the lunch room for about a year and has said that she could not be served in that room. A room across the corridor had been given over to the lawyers and Mrs. Lambert doubled her new customers to go there for their lunch. This allowed them to refuse to serve them and they left. Hewlett wrote a letter to United States officials and protested against Mrs. Lambert's court house building, telling of his experience and protesting against Mrs. Lambert'sbert that she must refrain from making such distinctions in the future. He notified the judge that he had so instructed Mrs. Lambert. Despite the very inclement weather of last Sunday a large and enthusiastic company, P.

KINK·NE Great Hair Straightener and Grower Most Wonderful Discovery ever made for curly, kinky and knotty hair. Makes hair grow long, straight soft, and silky; cures dandruff and stops falling hair. Kink-ine acts like magic on the hair. Kink-ine Is No Experiment. It was discovered by R. Roberta, a famous English chemist, who has made a study of the scalp of coloured people for the past 30 years, and who, after much time and experience, has prepared this great treat for the colored people. This chemist says that hair irritation and study have taught him that the scalp of the colored people requires a special treatment and after laboring and resting these many years he has discovered the greatest REMEDY the WORLD has ever known for the HAIR of colored hair. KINK-INE will make the hair GROW from one to three inches per month. If the directions and instructions are carefully followed out. We have many cases on record where the above results have been obtained, and we do not hesitate when we make these claims. KINK-INE is the only safe preparation in the world that is guaranteed to make the hair straight and make dry hair smooth and stop it from breaking off and falling out; takes out all the kinks and knots, cures dandruff, makes the hair soft and silky, and by nourishing the roots gives it new life and vigor, restoring it to natural color. READ what Miss Elizabeth Jones of Chicago says of KINK-INE: "My hair was not more than three inches long when I commenced to use Kink-ine six months ago. I have used it steadily since that date and it has grown on average of two inches each month and it is now more than fifteen inches long. Besides, my hair has become almost as strong and I fully believe by the end of the year I will have the most beautiful head of hair of any colored lady in the world." SPECIAL OFFER—To prove the quality and superiority of our goods over all others, we will sell one full-size bottle of Kink-ine, price 25 cents, one coke of Kink-ine Soap, the best shampoo and Tullet Soap in the world, price 25 cents, both for only 50 cents, or six bottles and six cakes of soap for $0.00.

WASHINGTON, April 7. —On March 6, President Boeoverdelt did the unusual thing of issuing for the second time an executive order in behalf of George W. Pitts of the University of Alabama, allowed Mr. Pitts an increase in salary without going through the usual form and delay of examination. In his present position Mr. Pitts is rendering his race such that he is the most intelligent that it is interesting to quote what The Albany Evening Journal said of him in its issue of March 4. When George B. Cortelyou became Secretary of the Treasury at noon to-day he took with him to that department George W. Pitts of Albany, one of the best colored men in the country. Pitts entered bany in 1885, and still retains his residence in that city. He is generally regarded as the most competent man that ever placed the place of messenger, and heBirthday Pitts came to Washington in 1885 to accept a place as an assistant messenger in the treasury. He was later transferred to the Department of Commerce and the Treasury, and when When Mr. Cortelyou temporarily quit the Government service in 1894 to become chairman of the Republican National Committee, the faithful Pitts made an effort to remain with his husband Cortelyou and remain at headquarters there throughout the progress of the campaign. Then Mr. Cortelyou became Postmaster General. Pitts in turn became chief of the messenger department, and goes to the treasury. So does Pitts. When Pitt's left the Department of Commerce and Labor in 1894 he got out from under the civil service blanket, and he signed a contract to sue an order to have him covered again. The order read as follows: "George W. Pitt, a skilled laborer in the Department of Commerce and Labor, may be appointed to a position without reference to civil service rules, requiring a service of six months next preceding transfer." This position was given to General Cortelyon, who informed the President that Pitt's services were desired, and that the duties to be assigned him were largely of a confidential nature. Pitt was asked to identify the waiving of the rules as to transfers. Pitt was born in Georgia. He moved to small boy, the family settling in Albany. Pitt is a born diplomat, polished, smart and useful. He knows intimately nearly every member of the House and Senate everybody who is anybody in politics. Mr. Pitts is a prominent member of the Masonic order in the District of Columbia. He is a past master of Pathogenics and a past master of his lodge he was in the front ranks of those who brought to a high point of efficiency and beauty the Masonic ritualistic work of the jurisdiction of the District of Columbia. He is a frequent messenger to the secretary of a great department, like the Treasury Mr. Pitts has the opportunity of serving, his race in a most effective way. He is brought in constant contact with various bureaucats of his department, with his department, with the secretaries of other executive departments. Senators and Representatives hawning business with Mr. Cortelgou of necessity meet the confidential messenger. In a position like this allusion can good indgment can serve his race well, and George W. Pitts has made for himself a reputation for faithfulness in this direction.

CAREY & JONES Real Estate Brokers New Era Building 13 Rone Street THE BROWNSVILLE MYSTERY. From The New York Sun. WASHINGTON, April 8.--Commenting on the results of the temporarily suspended investigation of the Brownsville shooting affair, The Washington Post says that "enough has been established, at any rate, to raise a reasonable doubt as to the guilt of the Negro soldiers." Many people here are going much further than that and saying that the investigation has established beyond and reasonable doubt the entire innocence of nearly all of the men of the battalion, leaving the guilt of any of them quite improbable. Eight months of investigation, of probing by a Grand Jury, a court-martial, the Inspector General's department, a special commissioner appointed by the President and the Military Committee of the Senate, to say nothing of private and peremptory actions, to have the effect of having resulted in little effect on the killing of history on mystery. Two facts appear and perhaps only two. One is the known fact that a shooting took place with one of the officers, and that the order dismissing the men was premature and without warrant. It was a decision based on insufficient evidence. It is difficult to review testimony to determine whether the investigation bodies without reaching a conclusion that a grave and perhaps irreparable wrong has been done to scores of innocent men by one who stands in the eyes of many of his fellow citizens as the defendant in the crime and the apostle of the "seal deal." The investigation is not yet finished, and there remains, of course, a possibility that the man may yet be located in the Brownville county market but can now only be regarded as remote. There seems no possibility whatever of fastening on the greater number of the men of the battalion the charge of the officer of the "space" under which they were dismissed. The developments of the case undoubtedly leave the Commander-in-Chief of the somewhat awkward predicament. From his dilemma he may be released by later developments, but the present indications are that his position will be made even more difficult. The evident moral of the affair is that in all cases, with the possible exception of those of special urgency, it is a good decision to suspect a fair trial before honoring them.
