Field Secretaries Appointed—Better Teachers and Longer Terms Provided PHILADELPHIA. June 10. Twelve trustees of the fund established by Miss Anna T. Jeanes of Germantown, to provide rudimentary education for Southern Afro-Americans, met in the office of the Pennsylvania Company for insurance on lives and granting annuities, Friday, and completed steps for the transfer of the $1,100,000 in securities comprising the benefaction. Through the kindness of Dr. Booker T. Washington special invitations were extended to Past, H. T. Kealing, Robert E.

Y. Upon the assembling of the trustees, proper meeting had been adjourned by Dr. Washington, the temporary chairman; by permission of the Board Dr. Washington's private secretary was present. After the call of the meeting steps were carried out, the solicitation of the $1,100,000 in securities given by Miss Jeanes to the care of the Board of Trustees through the Pennsylvania Company. This transference will be made as quickly as possible in order to have the applied at once for school improvement. The income of the endowment now amounts to about $10,000 a year, but it is thought by careful management this may be increased to $50,000 and possibly will be increased to $100,000 to be appointed to investigate school conditions. Certain schools which are in session only a few months of the year and are poorly equipped will be selected as object lessons, and better teachers a boner team provided by one of the staff. The board will also be aided. Montgomery, Ala., has selected as the headquarters or central office of the board. A committee of five was appointed, consisting of Secretary Washington, the Washington offices Dillard, General Secretary Hobbs Hollis Barke Frisselle, to call upon Miss Jenice, who is at present residing at the Friend's Home, which she erected, in Tulipakhen street, to announce the formal organization of the board and to express interest in representing those whom the Mind is to aid. Dr. Washington was elected temporary president, and Major Morin, temporary secretary. George Foster Penley was elected permanent provost and president of the National Government and a key person who was deferred until the next meeting, which will be at the end of Mr. Peabody. All of the members of the board expressed their satisfaction at the manner in which Dr. Washington said, "We hope to have things running well so as to begin to aid some of the schools in the fall." Secretary Taff said, "I am heartily in favor of the school and good work." Mr. Penley is the direct, of some kind. The members present were "Booker T.

At the adjournment of the board meeting, the committee appointed took the 2:30 train Germann to twenty minutes arriving at the office fifty minutes, and were ushered in her presence; she received them graciously. Secretary Tuff in behalf of the board, thanked Miss Jesenes for her service. The other members of the committee expressed their thanks. Owing to Miss Jesenes being poor in health the meeting only lasted a short time, and adjourned, subject to the request of the board, the trails then took the members to their respective homes. "Top" Fray celebrated his 25th anniversary as member of the police force on Thursday he. David Brain, the venerable Afro-American messenger of the Bureau of Health. Thursday celebrated the seventieth anniversary of his connection with that branch of the municipal government, which he helped build. He was confined to his home, on South Thirteenth street with illness incident to old age, for several months, and on that account was unable to celebrate the event elaborately. He did receive some of the flowers he received from all of the employees of the Health Bureau, all of whom congratulated him. He was first appointed a messenger on the 7th of June, 1937, and during the outbreak of yellow fever in this city, more than half in the city, he was stationed at the Lazaretto). Although active in caring for the many patients taken there for medical treatment, Mr. Brain did not contract the disease, in his earlier days he was prominent as a member of the city's civic committee in great demand by the best families these times. He was very active, despite advanced age, up to about three years after he shipped in one of the corri- While confined to his home during his present illness the duties of messenger have been performed by John Jones, a great-grandson. Captain Win P: Stewart, an arbiter of mancine modes, is evidently determined the reason for chilling the colour. He claimed a great sensation on Broad street last Sunday by appearing in a gray suit tipped with a gray bowler hat and a shirt of black. He was brought the tall walking stick into fashion here, it is not at all improbable, and there are many who hope so, that he will be a man of distinction, and contribute of men's attire. At the same time the Captain has expressed no approval of the mulberry and checked frock suits that a certain section of the south has been trying to make popular. The celebration of the 19th anniversary of Zion Baptist church, 13th street above Wallace began last Sunday and continued for the rest of the year. A work for the Afro-American people of this city among other enterprises is has purchased five lots upon which to erect a large building at the southwest corner of 13th and Mohon streets, to be used as an industrial school. In these days of tips there are reports of case money dropped into the bank, and a liberal spender who dung a $1 bill to the bellboy at the Hotel Ringham the other night, after he had been oblited with a match to light a cigar, is probably the one who was the first to be deprived. It was during a dull hour at the big hotel, just before the arrival of the theatre crowd for the night feast, that aowl to where the middle age crowd was located: "Got a match?" asked the man as he opened his cigarette case. The accommodating boy applied a match to the owl, and the stranger with the small change pocket of his coat. Finding this empty, he drew a roll of bills from his trumpet's pocket. He handed the bill to the boy, and as the stranger walked away the boy remarked, "The easter berry." Miss Hattie Pyer, a young Afro-American woman, living at 211 Colonia street, had a headache Saturday evening, and sent a little girl to a drug store at 25th Street to buy some spirits of ammonia. Instead the little girl became confused and purchased washing ammonia. This Hattie took to cure her thrashing head. She became violently ill, and it was thought she would die. She was taken to Homeopathic Hospital, where the physician say it was a close call, but she will recover. . . . J. J. ORAY. NEGRO SLAVE OWNERS. From The Atlanta Constitution "Did free Negroes own slaves in the South? is the new feature of the Negro question which has sprung out of an inquiry made of Judge Welburn of the State library by somebody in the North?" "Well I will tell you that I know about it. There was a family of free Negroes in Mecklenburg county, Virginia, whose name I cannot recall now, who owned Negro slaves. I know of it in my boyhood, think about 1840. In my active life, which is now, I know which bay immediately on the Virginia line, just above Mecklenburg county, Va., there was quite a colony of free Negroes, many of them named Eppa, and supposed to be the descendants of the slaves set brother-in-law by the Thomas Jefferson brother-in-law for the line between North Carolina and Virginia by old Peter Jefferson, the father of Thomas, there was a great tide of immigration into the border counties of North Carolina from Virginia because the crew of the ship was from Gods country—that was along the valley of the Roanok and Dan rivers. "Among those immigrants came these free Negroes, and in my boyhood time he in county. Billy Mitchell in county tall, well prepared and symmetrically formed, of a ginger-cake color and woolly hair—all in all a good looking man. He was honest, of a great height, and a white folks' church, as many of the free Negroes and slaves did before the war. He had no means and often hired to my father, and I remember on one occasion he had heard him telling my father of his trip to Mecklenburg county, about thirty miles away, when and where he went courting, and slaves which his girl's father owned. "He told with much humor of an incident which occurred while he was there; that he went out one morning with the girl's brother to the hog pot to look at the boys came and got up on the pen with them; that soon he heard the girl calling her mother to look at Jim perched on that hog pot with the white folks. Hilly said that he looked at them all and the girl Jim was about as white as any of them. "He went back and married the girl, took up his abode with them, became interested in the estate and a slave owner himself. I remember after I was a grown man he had to have seen him on a visit back to his old friends and relatives. He here the appearance of a man well to do in life. That section was no poor country, abandoning the land and son and his crew called it 'God's country.' On the North Carolina side lived Nathaniel Macon, than whom the memory of no man in that State is more cherished the virgin side lived the learned, versatile wonderful 'Jack Randolph of Roosevelt.' "In that county of Mecklenburg the Methodists established their first denominational college and called it 'Kandelib' and did one of the largest slave holders ever in the South, the only native American citizen, it is said, upon whom the British Government ever conferred a title. Sir Peyton Skipwell. He owned a large and well-established farm of Stunton and Dan rivers, forming the Ranoke. There was Skipwell's ferry known for hundreds of miles south of it as the crossing place for the tobacco wagons going to and from markets at Teeport, and for the churchmen and the churchman and kept employed in his house young. Henry Ravenscroft, an Episcopal minister, to conduct religious services every Sunday and for his children to come the Bishop of the diocese of North Carolina and some of the leading men of that State now were named for him." The Afro-American race can learn great lessons from the Greeks who are coming by drove into America. They are gradually planting themselves in every section of the South. One does not hear very much of them in public meetings and newspapers, but they are becoming farmers, and the industrial enterprises throughout the Southern country. AN AFRO-AMERICAN JOURNAL OF NEWS AND OPINION NEW YORK, THURSDAY, JUNE 13, 1907 QUEER CONDITION IN BOSTON TOWN Afro - American Leaders Afflicted with Hysteria Stores and Factories Being Closed, but They Overlook This and Look After Brothers Far Away. Special Correspondence to The AOL Boston, Mass., June 10—One race of people in the city of Boston is a very interesting element of the population—one that is with while do you study. We make the assertion that they are a group of Afro-American people anywhere in the United States that present such an interesting object lesson for study as is true of many of our citizens. There are two very striking and interesting. In the first place, as a race, our people in Boston give less attention to matters which tend to improve their own condition and more attention to matters which pertain to the many many miles distant than the people in our city in the United States. They can go into hysteresis more frequently and prolong the hysterical period longer than is true of any other racial group in the world, anything that concerns anybody a thousand miles distant and interests them deeply, but to matters that pertain to their own interest right at their own doors they never give any attention. Here in Boston it is difficult to buy a house in any descent quarter, and it is becoming more and more each year increasingly difficult for them to live. Notwithstanding this, our leaders give practice attention to the discussion of this important matter in their public meetings. It is a noteworthy and pathetic fact that our people are being more and more crowded out of all kinds of occupations. These new few hotels that now give em- gotten a new place are already highly impossible to get a man or woman employed as a bookkeeper or as a salesman, in any store in the city of Boston, but they are employed by the score of the best酒店 in the city. The best酒店 is a window, washes, and porters, and can sell a few cakes, and can serve a few cakes for an A-FRAC American to get employment in any factory or shop or any kind of industrial concern in the city of Boston. The line in these respects is a line between the two, and the place, where else in America. Speaking of the prejudice, it is nothing compared with the line that is drawn in industrial matters against AFRA-AMERIONS right here at what is considered the Hub. It is not the fact that AFRA-AMERION is a country of its own leaders. All of their meetings and all of their discussions are based upon the "poor Negro" a thousand miles away: it is a well-known fact that many of the people in the city of Boston go into hysterics are vastly better off in education, in material lines and in moral and religious welfare than is true of our people. The fact that AFRA-AMERION is a study of the educational condition of the Negro in Boston and vicinity without coming to the conclusion that he is falling tremendously behind the rest of our people in this country. No American is ever in the field of education, and the ingotion said in Chicago recently—is in Harvard University, notwithstanding the fact that Harvard University is right at their doors. No American student is ever in the field of education. They are not represented, except in a very small way, in any of the institutions of learning. Very few of them graduate from the high schools. The men and women who attend the college are not in the field of education. The most recent reform from the far South. And it is the rarest thing that a student from Boston ever graduated from one of these institutions. Still, none of these matters seem to concern the whole country. The most recent reform from the far South, and time to the discussion of the welfare of somebody else, Another element is peculiar to the Boston Afro-American leader. We would not, however, include all of the Bostonians in this class because there is a larger number of African Americans in the most part many of the leaders come under the description which your correspondent is making. Our people in this city can be taken in through the leadership and guidance of a white man, and they know that they are not the know of. They do not stop to ask where the white man came from, what his history is what his standing is; they do not inquire for his credentials; they only want to satisfy their curiosity and they know that his face is white, that white man can lead them anywhere; they will go into hysteria over him without question. A white man can come to Boston who could not get the solid business white men of Wall street or in State street in Boston; a white man who has no social or business standing in any community can get our people to follow his lead, and I say again, go into hysteria over him without mention. There is a certain element of Afro-American leaders in Boston and another element of white people in New York and elsewhere who are just now using the solid business white men to themselves into prominence. These white people have almost no standing among their race, but they do see an opportunity to work upon the ignorance and emotions of the Afro-American people and they are doing now to the fullest extent. "It is important in Boston that we have a hall which we can get free of charge; we refer to Faneuil hall. They work Faneuil hall for all it is worth, namely the recreation of a crowd of Afro-Americans in Faneuil hall throwing up their hats, rolling and going into hysteria to some subject usually relating to somebody a thousand miles away, never in relation to conditions right at home. The better we know of the people our white friends in this city have become disgusted over the policy that is being pursued and has been pursued for several months in Boston. Your correspondent can give you no better evidence of the disgust than to state that a few people have met in a few meetings held in Faneuil hall and our people gelled and cried and agitated for two hours and more. The next day not one of the leading papers, such as The Herald and The Transcript, had a single line concerning this meeting. A few people met in Faneuil hall under the leadership of safe and conservative Afro-Americans both. of these newspaper and paper of similar character would have devoted from two to three columns to a discussion of 12. characters they let them post, completing almost If there ever was a place where the Negro seems to have more freedom than he known what to do with, it is in this city; and the worst of it is that the num- bers of our people are more insecure month—after increasing faster than they are being directed into the natural and proper life of the community. These newcomers think the best way to exhibit their freedom and what they term their "manhood right" is by cursing and condemning this behavior. This habit of condemning all classes of white people, including the President of the United States, is another element in the situation which is driving many of our standout friends from us right here in the city of Boston. Many of them are in some direction that I am writing, and the time may soon come when many of them will get rid of their fears and speak out more plaintly and openly. REV. JETER ON EVANGELICAL WORK Successful Church Work 'In Pour Pennsylvania Cities. To the Editor of THE NEW YORK AGE: The following are the churches we visited in Philadelphia: The First African Baptist church, Rev. W. A. Creditt, D. D., pastor; St. Paul Baptist, Rev. W. A. Creditt, St. John's Church, Rev. W. A. Creditt, Baptist, Rev. W. G. Parks, D. D., pastor; Zion Baptist, Rev. E. W. Moore, D. D., pastor; Monumental Baptist, Rev. Alexander Gordon, D. D., pastor; and Union Baptist, St. K. D., former pastor. This church has undergone extensive repairs under the pastoral charge of Dr. Derrickk. While in Philadelphia we heard many express their reverence to Harrisburg after doing so much for the people who worship here in Philadelphia. We preached and sang for Dr. E. W. Johnson, W. G. Parks, E. W. Moore, and the hearty reception of these men of God and their people greatly encouraged us on our mission of love to the churches that the Holy Spirit has sent us along before the ministers of the A. M. E. and Baptist conferences in Philadelphia. We were never more cordially received by any conference than we were during the conferences of the M. E. conference. Both of these conferences are composed of a large membership of able and high-minded ministers of God. The Union Baptist church, Rev. W. G. Parks, having capacity of 1,200, understand the incindency of the weather the evening we preached the church was utterly full. Dr. Parks is a man of a most amiable nature. The Union Baptist church was filled him in the city of Brotherly Love. Hibernia will only reveal the good he has done in a brief pastorate of two years. Dr. Johnson has a great church. He has a rampant church. He has a large purse to send away for rest. Four years ago we spent a week in special relations meetings with Dr. Moore—a dear friend. When under the leadership of our church, we put in a large pipe-organ and sang. My music is Leonard met us here in Belfast and stayed over Sunday. He brought his instrument, the cello, over and usated us in the music. The beautiful tone he produced made many who born music feel heavenly inspired. A large congregation greeted us in the mid-week service at the Monumental Baptist church. Pastor James Gordon, whom we pastor, and Mrs. Gordon, whom we pastor, for many years have, have and are doing a great work for God. Since our visit four years ago, we are this church a beautiful church that has everything is moving for, new organization of God under Dr. Gordon's charge. The spiritual condition was very good. About two hundred were present who could explain us Peter on the mount of the cross, "Lord, it is us to be here." While the large number of churches in this city are doing a great work for God, we notice a large proportion of our race that attend no church. This class student themselves on the public most ridiculously, and that is a detriment to us as a group. It is my prayer that we will devise some plan to reach them and save them. We left Philadelphia Thursday the 30th, for Pittsburgh, stopping in Hershey burg a short drive to Pittsburgh. Morning more vigorous was Williamsport. Washes a circus was parading the streets when we arrived. We were conducted to the beautiful home of Dr. De Ferry Homerton, a host faithful member of Dr. Carter's church. At Dr. Carter's church we were made to feel very comfortable and at home. We were known for many years, people enriched in the hearts of the good people of Williamsport. There are about 4,000 colored here. There are many other churches, two methods of divining, and Des Scott and Fisher, Methodist divines. All of these churches have excellent buildings. One plessing feature is the fellowship between the native churches. On Friday evening we spoke and sang in the Shiloh Baptist church, Rev. J. H. Carter, D. D., pastor, Rev. Fisher and Scott were present in the church. Rev. Carter is a man who is known for his largeness of heart, Christian character, and success as a pastor. He organized the Union Baptist church in Cambridge, Mass., and secured property on Main Street, $2,000. After eight years of successful and faithful service he was called to Ebenezer church in Boston. They were then worshiping in a hall. Under Dr. Carter's leadership they came to the church for a service of worship on Srinfield street at a cost of $35,000. In Newark, N. J., he also did a work for God and the denomination, that will stand as a monument to him. The success of a pastor is greatly blessed in a wife that the community as well as have great love for her, owing to her amiable disposition. We preached and sang in Shiloh twice yesterday, and once in the A. M. E. Zion. We go on to Pittsburgh to share the church in our next letter, N. H. J. Tetra, Williamsport, Pa., June 2. POWERPLY IN OFFICE AGAIN WASHINGTON, June 5—Terrence W. Powdery has been appointed chief of the U.S. Department of Immigration. For several years, until about five years ago, Mr. Powdery was Commissioner of Immigration, a result of friction that existed between him and the Department. He banded his resignation with Roosevelt and it was accepted. FROM The New York Times Yazoo Criy, Miss. June 8—A race took place to-day on the Kirk plant station, thirteen miles southeast of here. Three Negroes have been killed, four white men were shot, and two Negroes were whipped. The country in that neighborhood is in arms and the sheriff, with deputies is harvesting there to pre- vent further bloodblood. One report has it that the white men who gathered after the race were killed, two Negroes, but this was not verified. The trouble started between 11 and 12 o'clock this morning. T. P. Kirk went into a field on his plantation, where Abel Johnson and his three sons were at work. Abel Johnson and his three sons were at work. One of the Negro boys curved him, and Kirk knocked the Negro down. The other Negro went to the defense of their brother, and Kirk started on a run to the Negro town. The Negro town was nearby, raced for their weapons, and, stealing them, fired at the fleeing man, emptying one or more loads of shot into his body and bringing him to the Negro town. Kirk's brothers, Washington and Cyrus, and J. T. Cheatham were attracted by shots. As they approached the Johnsons fired on them, hitting all three. Almost all and the ground the three men returned to the first place they could, killing Green Johnson instantly. Alb Johnson and his other sons then entered their cabin and harried the death to any who should approach the door. Word was sent throughout the city of the bloody happening, and soon of the former were on the scene all heavily armed and demanding vengeance on the grounded the cabin and began to move. Mugisterate Bell went forward ahead of them and pledged himself and his hope that no harm should befall the Johnsons if they would come out, and that they would be safe. But would the first, and this was followed by a fidelidade after fidelidade of shots until two more of the Johnsons were killed. Their ammunition was exhausted and they could not continue the fight. From the scene when the news reached him, but his deputies went immediately there, and to lightly they report that all is quiet. A PROGRESSIVE ARKANSAS CITY AND ITS PEOPLE Little Rock Has Strong Financial Institution—Race Activities. LIFTD Rock, Ark., June, 5. —This city is familiarly called the "City of Rocks," beautifully situated on the Arkansas river, and is within a stone's throw of St. Louis, Mo.; and is a short journey from Memphis, Tonn, while it is within talking distance of all the prosperous centers of Indian Territory and Oklahoma. As to the progress of the Afro-Aururi ears, here and about, many be judged from the fact that this town maintains a big Nero bank—named, "The Capital City Savings Bank." This financial institution has a long history, and has been a常驻的bank for many years by white men, in the State; and has for its president, Judge M. W. Gibbs, ex-Consul to Madagascar, and a man whose wealth is rated anywhere from six to eight hundred thousand dollars. The Judge is 56 years old, and for him to be the first of the first to be a president of the State, the endurance of the bank is the least bit. The chief of the bank is Mr. Charles King, a young colored business man who has recently inherited a fortune of one hundred thousand dollars. As assistant cuzheier and the head of the bank, Mr. J. H. McConico, the head of the first-class office of the State, associated with the above gentlemen are the Rev. D. P. Robinson, pastor of the biggest colored Baptist church in the city; William Le Porte, captainist and contractor; Mr. Horace L. L. L. and the first-class office of the state, the conservative business. So that, with men of influence and money, the Capital City Savings Bank has cut its way through the most of distrust and prejudice, and is now one of the strongest banks in the South; handling from three to four million thousand dollars of the colony's money. It is also pleasing to note that the two colored jewelry stores, the two colored drug stores, are doing a thriving business. Dr. L. R. Coffin and his associates are the owners of the stocked store and are adopt in compound prescriptions; while the Foster Drug Company is owned by Dr. Foster, whose store is patronized by a large and inexpensive department. It may be said that the "City of Medicine" physicians, most of them are graduates of Methery Medical College, Nashville Teen, and all of them are doing good work. There has been recently organized a medical department affiliated with Dr. Hayman as president of the Thornton, Brune and Robinson as an executive committee to form a permanent organization. It is the aim of the colored doctors of the city to incorporate their skills and knowledge in the hospital. This can be done, and it will afford an opportunity to develop the abilities and skill of the colored sun, eye, ear, nose and throat specialist and men who will develop along other lines in the medical and departments of the science of medicine. All of the horse-shoeing and blacksmith work done in the city is performed by Negro blacksmiths, and it is a familiar sight to see white and black bricklayers and white men working in the same ditch, or on the same building. There are numerous colored grocery stores and mean markets owned and run by colored men; colored falting and "dussholing" establishments and colored shops in the city are owned and run by colored cobblers; save however a few Italians who have lately come to the city from Louisiana. White and colored labor here in the Southwest are not permitted, and prejudice does not cut any ice when their common interest is one. For ex- sample, the Afro-American and white tonerial artist have recently formed a union in which both white and colored workers are represented, and working on the steam railroad track are colored men; while all the repairing done to the city street railroads and the motor and trolley cars is done by Negro labor, work, earn, spend and save money. As to the school facilities here, they are excellent. The Union, the 21st Street school and the Capital Hill high school are in the system of Yonkers, N. Y. Brooklyn school system of Yonkers, N. Y. Brooklyn or Washington, D. C., which are said to be the best in the world. Mr. John Bush, another very wealthy colored man, holds the position of receiver of public money, and is in the management position and there is not a mall train running into or out of the "City of Roose" that has not on it colored men in the United States mall service. From the department of the department Shepperson is the dean, and is one of the most trusted and valued employees in this branch of the service. Mr. Garner is the head letter carrier, or superintendent of carriers of the city. He is at the head of twenty-six other colored letter carriers. There are various grades of social life in this city which is the greatest "fraternal" and "society" towns in the South, and society in the North. In Coventry street cars the Negro not only the white ice cream and soda water but the white ice cream and soda water fountain drug stores; restaurants and liquor saloons; seems to have stimulated colored business interests to develop restaurants, bars and cafes, which do a large colored trade. Thus the white man's race prejudice, while it works a hardship on some, has contributed to develop various Negro enterprises. The Negro labor of the South is the most prosperous of the South. This labor ought to be trained and developed and when it is done, so the author of The Lapunis Spot" say: "The Negro will be trained in the Negro labor of the South. As told, the Little Rock Afro-American is progressing, especially when she splendid efforts of Moses, Horace Gibbs and Dr. Merchant in establishing a new called Roosevelt Park, which is destined to be the most beautiful of gomery's Mound Bay Island. Instead of the Negro going north and congesting the courts alleys and slums of the northern cities, he should listen to the saying "Arkansas, Oklahoma and Illinois splendid opportunities to the man or woman with aggressive energy, popularly known as "husbete." In a few years they overruns are a new country and afford them their own vine and fig tree. Young men, go southwest. J. M. R. Bethel Church Balcony $1,000 JOSSEY CITY, June 10: Thursday, June 6, was the occasion of a welcome reception tendered the Roy. I. Horryson, Jr., of St. Mark, a resident.

A BRILLIANT YOUTH. As a recent meeting of the first test classes of the De Witt Clinton High School, Mr. Gilbert met with students at 1011, Newton Lloyd Gilbert, the son of Rev. M. W. Gilbert, DD, of New York, and the president of church New York city, was elected president of this class containing about five hundred boys. Mr. Gilbert was up for president, white boys running for presidency Three years ago, when Dr. Gilbert first came to New York, his son Lloyd entered the public school in Harlem, Public School No. 89. Very soon after entering that school he became the leader of his class. He was also the only student in the class, while he was the only colored boy. On his father's removal to West 54th street, he was promoted to Grammarian School No. 69, on West 54th street, and very soon after entering this school, he became the only student about thirty-five white boys, almost four colored boys. About four months ago, he graduated from this school at the head of his class, winning the Five Dollar gold prize offered to the boy who graduated at the head of his class, provided by a former teacher.

PRICE, 5 CENTS A Splendid Audience Greets the Choral Study Club and Its Celebrated Solists CHICAGO, June 11.—The greatest musical achievement of our people in the West was the wonderful rendition of B. Coleridge Taylor's "Inhawatha" by the Choral Study Club of this city, on Monday evening, June 3. The readers of The Ade have been informed from time to time of the very interesting work of this choral society under the masterful leadership of Mr. P. T. Tinley. This society was organised by Mr. Tinley about five years ago for the sole object of cultivating a taste for music of the classic quality. It was not for the purpose of money making, but for the development of that sort of culture that makes for the refinements of life and inspirations of things beautiful. Through many weary years of hard work and splendid contagion, this club of about seventy members, disciplined and trained, has achieved results which have become the pride of all Chicago. The growing work of those patient and strenuous efforts was the artistic production of Mr. Taylor's impressive and soul-stirring triology "Hiwatha's Wedding," a work by Hiwatha's "Departure." In this extraordinary undertaking the club was compelled, in order to meet the artistic conception of the great composer, to call to assistance three celebrated solisters: Robert B. Barker, Mitchell of Cleveland, O. soprano; Mr. Harry T. Burghill of New York, baritone, and Mr. George I. Holt, tenor, of Des Moines, Ia. had already earned the greatest S. Coleridge Tayler's solist "Great States." In support of these singers there was engaged for the occasion one of the best orchestras of stringed instruments in the city, a pipe organ and piano. In making arrangements for this ambulatory drama, Chicago rose to the rare splendid solist "Niner tribute has ever been paid, by the colored people of this city, to any undertaking than was paid by the splendid audience that crowded the noble auditorium of Quincy chapel, the Cathedral among Afro-Americans in the West. The audience that greeted Mr. Tinsley, his associates and three distinguished artists was unlike anything ever before with it. He was a full and overflowing house, but he was more important and interesting, it was an audience of critical appreciation of the splendid unfolding of tone and sentiment as interpreted by the magnificent chorus he unleashed in the condition of the solo parts. His dramatic tenor, Mitchell's soprano never found a finer appraisal than in the solo descriptive of the "Familii and Fever" and in "Hiwatha Vision." It was a prime favorite in Chicago and nothing could be more pleasing than his classic rendering of the solo "Onaway, Awake, Beloved." New York's prime baritone, Mr. Harry T. Burleigh, made a profound impression. His splendid art and sound voice freely overshadowed the audience with emotions of joy. But your correspondent is far from leaving a musical critic. These great artists whose gracious presence made it possible for Chicago to realize for the first time the power of Colleague Joris's matchless art have contributed immensely to the spiritual life of this community. It seems as if we have been lifted high above the things that are sad and mourn in our common lot by the powerful power of what we have heard and felt. Every one now begins to feel that the Choral Study Club is a part of whatever is best in the life of this city. The most important organizations that they have at last won that high appreciation for which they have worked so long and faithfully. They begin to feel a deserved Vishniha with each noble organization. The Apollo Art Institute, the Orchestra of the Art Institute, and kindred organizations whose refining influences are daily helping to sweeten and amelie the lives of all the people. The country, as well as the city, has a right to expect very much from these organizations, the faithful interpreters of classic music. Mr. P. T. Tinsley, to whom all the credit is due for this recent achievement, deserves to rank among the most successful music majors the race has yet won. He is a great artist, a faithful and real genius for scholarship in choral training. This friends are amazed at his success in compelling Chicago to appreciate something besides a ragtime ditties. He is a good example of what a man can accomplish for the work he aims to do. Mr. Fred. A. Moore, organizer for the National Negro, Uniessible League, made a brief stop in Chicago on Monday last week, where he met the league's president, the West, in the interest of the National League. There was a hurriedly-called meeting of the local league to meet Mr. Morris. He survived in a nursing convalescent hospital and met the league. Although his course was unexpected, his visit and talk had a good effect. FANNIE BARRIFRIL WILLIAMS. WIFE DESERTS AN EMPEROR. Rosey, June S.

JACKSON, Tenn., May 31.—The two-fifth annual session of Lane College, the University of Michigan, the Michigan Institute, Episcopal church, and this week with the best commencement exercises on record. Not only were the commencement exercises, the program outfits, including the music and dance attire, the best attire, attendance from far and near, above the ordinary, but those in position to know that the actual work done this year will be the best of the year. A mark of thoroughness, of the six young men finishing the college preparatory department, three of them, who were brilliant and otherwise active students, has allowed their use of the freshman class on conditions. The mark of discipline in a study ordinarily considered non-essential cells well enough the story of thorough work done in all the departments. This work act as a guide to the administration of Rev. J. A. Bray A.M. who four years ago, by the action of the Board of Bishops, was elected President of Lane College. Prof. Bray was instrumental in bringing about many needed changes in the course of being a progressive young man, of course, instituted new and advanced ideas. He has secured from the Methodist Episcopal church an annual appropriation of nearly $1000 to be applied on the college's budget. He increased the enrollment and the salary of every teacher, save his own; turned out the first college graduates, and placed the institution nearer than ever on the plane of all the best and advanced institutions of the land for the training In spite of this glowing record, without cause, without allowing time sufficient for his reform measures to reap their fullest and ripest fruits, an attempt is made by the patron bishop of the institution, Rt. Rev. Isaac Lane, H.D., to replace him in order that his an might become president. The statement is made in a recent issue of The Christian Index that the Colored Methodist Episcopal church is not in politics. Perhaps not, but if this notion is an index, this particular diocese is inoculated with that kind of corrupt and selfish politics that gave Rutherford B. Hayes the Presidential election, and keeps the retichonick senators in office. Lemo College is an institution fostered by the Colonial Methodist Episcopal church in America, is chartered under the provisions in the Act that the provision is made in that charter that the Pree deed shall be elected by the Board of Trustees. The Board of Trustees long ago delegated that right to the Board of Bishops, composed of E. Chalmers Pree and E. Bryan Brays administration has been such a signal success, and had given such general satisfaction, that there was no thought by the majority of the members of the Board but that he could as a member of the Board be elected. The provision of the Bishop. The provision of the charter that the president of the institution shall be elected by the Board of Trustees renders that matter final, but for the fact that it makes this provision: "The Board of Trustees shall elect all teachers, professors and officers, except the president of this institution, who shall be appointed by the Board of Bishops of the C. M. E. church. It would seem to the ordinary observer that Bishop Isaac Lane, himself, although the patron Bishop of Lane College, has no more right to say arbitrarily who shall be the president of the institution or any one else. Contrast these two statements, the one made by the bishop after the graduating exercises from the postrum of the chapel, with the first statement, the trustee meeting, hardly three hours' difference. The first one: "These are the best exercises I have ever witnessed in the history of Lance College, and I must have been there every year." The second one: "Some people here have said I was against somebody, but I want it understood that before God I am against nobody. At the chapel, where I meet, the chapel, which did not have the power to elect a president through its own action, he rose and made this statement: 'I am going to do something now that I have given earnest consideration, and I want no discussion of it. I hereby appoint my son, J. F. Lance, President of Lance College.' I think of a clear sky that pronounced a struck dumb the few, who it is alleged were organizer of the bishop's actions and the board meeting was adjourned before who was aware of the same. Arrof. Bray would combine no statement for publication. He only said to me that his course of action had not been met. He said he would be "surely in him, there will be something doing in Colored Methodism in the next few months. Lane College quarto-centennial celebration is on, and will be celebrated at Memphis in August. The office of the Rev. James McCarthy will secure sufficient funds to complete the new girls' dormitory now in course of erection. It is difficult to forecast with any degree of certainty what effect this action of Bishop Lane's will have upon the community. Lane will have upon reasonable to suprise, however, that there are some good, honest Christian gentlemen in the various stations of this discipline, who are unwilling to see one man, who is unwilling to see another, and who will be exceedingly slow to give their influence and means to support any institution of learning that is not conducted on a strictly religious basis. It is difficult to understand how men can run race by one single action of selfishness and unfairness. HORNET D. SLATER COLOR LINE IN BASEBALL BURKINGTON, Vt., June 6. - Two baseball games which had been arranged for to-day and to-morrow between the University of Vermont and the University of Alabama teams have been cancelled because of the management of the latter team, and the management of the two colored youths on the Vermont team. The cancellation of these games involves a forfeit of $100, it is said, as the Vermont management declined to release the Alabamaans from their contract voluntarily. The colored players on the Vermont team are Watkins, first baseman, who has recently been elected captain of the varsity football team, and Williams, second baseman. Milchore Notes. ATTLEFORD, June 11. Miss Mrs Jack Anderson, brother, Mr Wm Jackson on, Mrs Charles Howard, of Boston, was visiting his mother, Mrs Elizabeth Smith, Turner and Mrs Elizabeth Smith are the annual conference at New Haven, and she will be into her home after boarding out for Hendrick New York Warehouse Hard Rock Hotel Washington, June 11—Major Pemrose, who commanded the three companies of colored soldiers at the time Browneville was shot up and upon whose investigations and recommendations they were disobviously discharged, expressed the opinion to-day before the Senate Military Committee that his men were not guilty of the outrage, but that it was committed by the people of Browneville themselves. Major Pemrose acknowledged that he could find no motive on the part of the Browneville people and no evidence that the war was some evidence incriminating of New York. Nevertheless, as he considered the testimony of the townpeople identifying the colored soldiers in the dark utterly beyond any moral doubt that his men were innocent of the charge; that the shooting was done by Brownsville people, and that the empty soldiers were some fired at Foro Nibirana, taken from a box on the street, and then streets so as to throw suspicion on the soldiers. He admitted that he had not charged his first conclusion as to the guilt of the Negroes until his trial by court-martial on charges of maintaining a pipeline had brought out that testimony. Major Pouise declared that the Negro's of his battalion were a fine body of men, well behaved and of good reputation, but on cross-examination, after arrogant remarks, he admitted that he would believe them under oath, acknowledged that in his opinion they would not have told the truth on the witness stand but they were concerned in the shooting of Brunswick, a county of a statement by Captain Kelly of Brunswick as to the latter's call him him and that he had appeared without a coat or collar and in a dirty shaki suit and doubted the oblige of Ms. Leach and other witnesses in the shooting of the rioters. He also contradicted the testimony of General Garlington, who investigated the affair for the War Department, that he had told the latter that Captain Mackin had covered up the riot. He told that he had discovered on the siege. Captain Marklin, who was called later declared the heir and escaped an imprisonment one shell, and contended the test of suspicion that while he was together with Lieutenant Tournault and Captain Lyon, while having drinks in Crucella's saloon in Brownsville, had discussed the alleged act of murder, he was accused of pulling her from her house, and had expressed the opinion that the ladies with the children with whom he was involved in the murder of the ladies. He likewise combed the evidence given by Mrs. Leatha that she had gone along the road by the shooting and had seen soldiers on the gallery of Dracks.

There are signs that, the Japanese people are getting tired of American professions of good will, and all that, and their evidences of race prejudice. The San Francisco school question, it is intimated from Tokio, has not been settled at all, as the exclusion of Japanese from the United States under the amended immigration law, a discrimination not made in the case of any white European people, is distasteful to the Japanese people; and the recent smashing of Japanese restaurants and heads by a San Francisco mob has complicated matters for the diplomatic talkers at Washington, as systematic agitation of the matter in Japan is arousing the anger of the Japanese people. The American people are anxious to have a share, a large share, of the trade of Japan and China; they need the markets of those countries for the placing of a part of their surplus production, but they are not willing to treat the people of those countries as they treat the white people of other countries. The Chinese are weak, and have to stand bullying by the United States and the countries of Europe, even as the Turks have to do it, but the Japanese are strong and high spirited, and do not need to stand for anything that injures them in their pride or their purse. The American people have more prejudice on account of race than any other people. They are intolerant of any people who are not white. This is all the more remarkable, as they are the most mixed people in history since the confusion of tongues at the Tower of Babel. Here Europe, Asia, Africa and the aborigines of America meet and have met on the square and have mingled their blood, so that it is often difficult to tell 'tother from which; they are industriously mixing their blood all of the time. No prophet could figure out the sort of human type that will eventually be the result of the mix-up. Then, whence comes this National prejudice against the darker-skinned people of Africa and Asia? It does not matter how big a bucket of milk may be, if a fly gets into it the whole bucket becomes spilled. The white population of the Southern States, which has been striving for two centuries, but without complete success and with ultimate failure inevitable, to create a caste among its population and in the country at large—is responsible for the existence of race prejudice in this country and for the spreading and intensifying of it. The purpose of creating discontent, of spreading friction among the mixed people of the country, based upon the absurd assumption that they are better than other sorts of people, has been the chief business of the Southern white population for two centuries. It has kept the rest of the country in a state of mind and has it in a state of mind now, has provoked one Civil War and may provoke another, and threatens to provoke a rupture of the good relations of the Federal Republic with the government of Japan. Without marked superiority in intellectual qualities, for her statesmen and literary people have not in two centuries ranked those of New England and the Middle States, the Southern white people have imposed their dictum upon the Republic for two centuries, to the hurt of themselves and the rest of mankind. "Jim" Crow Car Laws. From time to time efforts have been made to get a definite opinion of the Federal courts as to the constitutionality of the separate car laws of the Southern States, but this has failed, as tests of other discriminatory laws have failed, because of defect of one sort and another in the briefs of the complainants and the apparent indisposition of the courts to settle the provoking and exasperating question once for all. A Federal Circuit for Tennessee has held that an interstate passenger is not affected by State legislation, but this is not generally known, and the railroads or their employees do not hesitate to override it when they please. In no instance in the Southern States is "the separate but equal accommodation" required by the law given, and if it were we should still maintain that under the common law such separation is a breach of contract and under the Federal Constitution an abridgment of the common rights inherent in citizenship. A case has been argued just now before the Interstate Commerce Commission by Mr. W. H. H. Hart, with Miss Edwards as complainant, to test the constitutionality of the separation law; but it seems the pleadings of the attorney will have to be amended in order to cover the question of constitutionality, the constitution having been brought on account that while the accommodation law it was by no means to prove it, that the Afro-American people were strong and mainly enough to take concerted action for the protection of their civil and political rights, guaranteed them by the Federal Constitution and denied them by State laws, but we no longer believe anything of the sort. We know that if it is just as possible for a camel to travel through the eye of a needle at twenty miles a second as to raise $1,000 from the entire Afro-American people to test even their right to live. God never made any people no indifferent to their rights of life and equality under the law as the Afro-American people, if we are to judge their interest by the sort of opposition which they show toward efforts of States and individuals to make a degraded place for them in the life of the American people. Secretary Taft and the Jeanne Faid. Secretary William Howard Taft is after the President, the busiest man in the United States. As Secretary of War he has to keep an eye on the scattered parts of our small army in all parts of the world; and efficient oversight of that feature alone is tax enough upon the time and abilities of any ordinary man; but in addition to constant oversight of the army Secretary Taft has immediate oversight of the Panama Canal, of the Provisional Government of Cuba and Porto Rico and of the Philippine Islands. In addition to all of this he is a candidate to succeed President Roosevelt in the White House, and must give some thought to the conduct of his campaign. Now, the point is this: Secretary Taft was made one of the trustees of the Jeanes Fund. His selection was criticised in some quarters because in the Brownville affair he deceived it wise to side with President Roosevelt, rather than break with him. If he were not interested in the well-being of the Afro-American people he would have refused to get as a trustee of the Jeanes Fund. Having accepted the trust, it is interesting to note that Secretary Taft took a day off Friday of last week to attend the first meeting of the trustees of the Jeanes Fund at Philadelphia. When a man who has so many important matters on his thought and time takes a day off to discharge a duty like that devolving on a trustee of the Jeanes Fund, in which there is small glory, but in which much good can be done, it is fair to recognize his public spirit and to give him credit for an interest in the people immediately concerned not selfish in its nature. And it is a happy thought that in the past so many busy men have turned aside to render such service for the Afro-American people. It has been true of the trustees of the Peabody, Hand, Slater and other funds, and of people who have not had their names gazetted to the world as doing a good and gracious service for the Republic and humanity. A Brownsville Woman In her testimony before the Senate Committee on Military Affairs, in the Brownsville affray, at Washington, one day last week, we have a report of the following: Mrs. Emma Leahy, manager of the Leahy House at Brownsville, proved an interesting witness. It was she who, according to the testimony of other witnesses, had concealed two Brownsville policemen in her bathroom until after the shooting was over. "Yes, I am to blame," said Mrs. Leahy. "The policemen, who had heard the shooting, came under my window and inquired, 'Where is the fire?' I told them there wasn't any fire but the aliquers were shooting up them in the bathroom and told them not to come out until I told them on penalty of theft lives. And they didn't come out." Senator Foraker asked her if she didn't think it would have been wiser to turn the two policemen on once upon the shooters "No, I don't," spoke up Mrs. Leahy. "What could two poor policemen do against all those soldiers, armed as they were, to kill them out and fight them and brought them out and fought it out with them myself." She rested to see sixteen soldiers in the streets. Two of them she saw very plainly. She described one as very black and the other as a "yellow ginger with spots on his face." She could know thatigger anywhere said Mr. Leahy with great positiveness. "Why didn't you go before the grand jury and point out the man?" "I was not asked to do not," she replied. It is interesting to learn that some of the Brownsville police hid in the bathroom when there was shooting in the street; but it is discouraging that no member of the Committee on Military Affairs appears to have rebuked Mrs. Leahy for her insolent characterization of the soldiers as "niggers." The "Bewer" The New York Sun, which of late has been tickling the vanity of Southern Democrats, says that: "The men who have rescued the South from the calamities attendant upon Reconstruction cannot possibly be feels." No, they have not been and are not fools; but a laser lot of assassins and demagogues, from Hamburg Butler to Ben Tillman, never cursed any country and escaped living hung. The Reconstruction governments were overthrown by organized revolution conducted as highwaymen do things, and the administration of the governments of those States since 1877 has been in absolute disregard of the rights of one-third of the people of those States and open defense of the latter and spirit of the Federal Constitution. When a nation con- demon the perpetration and perpetuation of such gigantic wrongs as Southern Democrats are guilty of it surely invites future trouble. Race prejudice used to be as wares in Chicago as dach's teeth; now it is no thick as leaves in Yellowbrown. The Chicago, Conservator says: One of the student announcements we ever had to make is the fact that all the medical schools in Chicago have agreed and announced that no more colored students will be allowed to attend for graduate exercise. The cause of this extraordinary announcement is that the Southern students object to the presence of Negroes in the classes. Now it is up to the Negro doctors country to try and establish a graduate school of their own. They can do it if they have the manhood, self-respect and push, Chicago, the medical Mercy of this country, in the place, and now in the time. Let Doctor Hall, Williams, Bayard, et al., get busy at once. The columns of The Conservator are open to the doctors free of cost. Let us hear from you at once. Yes; let us have a school of that sort of our own. And we should learn to swipe a Southern white head wherever we see it. Pennsylvania has made Senator P. C. Knox a favorite son for the Republican nomination for President, and Illinois has selected Speaker Joseph G. Cannon. Ohio is divided on Secretary Taft, Indiana on Vice President Fairbanks, and the Republicans of New York do not know what attitude to take toward Governor Hughes. But the chances are that before the convention meets next year they will get their cue. Governor Hughes is growing in favor with the voters of the country as a man who understands his job, who believes in a square ideal for the interests concerned in a given case, with the courage to stand by his convictions, and who is on his job all of the time. The rank and file of Republicans of New York believe that Governor Hughes is capable, honest and courageous, and that he would fill with credit any position in the gift of the people. Mr. Pearl Wight of Louisiana, will be Commissioner of Internal Revenue when his private affairs will allow him to take over the office; until that time Mr. John G. Capere of South Carolina, will have it. Both these men are National Committees for their respective States, and are appointed to succeed Mr. Yerkes of Kentucky, who recently resigned, and as the position is the only representative ops at Washington, except that of Recorder of Deeds of the District of Columbia, held by Mr. John C. Dancy of North Carolina, filled by a Southern Republican, the fact would indicate how low Southern Republicans have fallen in the estimation of the appointing powers. Indeed, there are more Southern Democrats holding high position at Washington by appointment of Republican Presidents than Southern Republicans. The Charlotte Daily Observer thinks that "that wisdom suggests" that the National Democratic party take a Southern man as its candidate for President next year. The Atlanta Georgian and News thinks that the miserable Hoke Smith should be the candidate, while Col. Waterson in the Louisville Courrier-Journal appears to think that what the Democratic party most needs is harmony. For our part we can see no good thing in the Democratic party. Since the war it has stood as a horrible example of disord, economic heresy, and aggression in State and local government, and there is apparent no good reason why it should be put in control of the Federal Government. The United States will have 29,000,000 acres in cotton this year, or about the same in last year. Texas has the largest average, 9,430,000, with Georgia next, while Virginia has the smallest, 37,000 acres. Cotton is one of the leading staple products of the world, and the demand for it is constantly increasing. The United States leads in the production of it. European nations are experimenting with it in India and Africa. In the production in the United States Afro-American labor and the mule have proven most efficient, and the efforts to supplant the former have so far failed of success. We need some sort of community organization to raise the standard of character among Afro-Americans. In the smaller communities of the New England and Middle States. The people in many cases who have gone into these communities, from the Southern States appear to think that they are a law unto themselves, and by their manner of living soundalize the communities in which they live and bring reproach and discredit on the good people of the race. The shorts of organized labor to shorten the hours of work and to increase the rate of wages is having the effect of decreasing the efficiency of labor, of increasing the cost of production and of increasing the cost of living, food products being constantly increased. Shortage in food stuffs is also to be counted in the trouble we are having and will have more and more. The King of the Belgians, it is said, is not making any money out of his African Congo possessions. Perhaps not, but it will be hard to make the world believe it. The Tarabitics practiced in the Congo, upon the helpless natives, are a world-wide scandal. Why did Luke E. Wright resign as Ambassador to Japan? Did the aggression of a Memphis paper that the Democrats nominate him for President have anything to do with it? A reporter for The New York Sun speaks of a "downpour of very wet rain." Very good. But we should like to look in the mouth of a very dry rain. Raw milk is said to be full of consumption germs. Physicians used to prescribe raw milk as best for consumptives. The Negro Business League meeting at Topkala in August will be among the best of the annual meetings. Problem Concept in the Equil. Over Hold and Whole Load. At the class of Governor Glenn's memorable speech at the commencement of Livingston College at Hallsbury, N. C. a few days ago, Bishop Alexander Walters areas in the audience and asked the Governor what about the constitutional amendment of North Carolina, of 1906 which is supposed to affect white and black women alike. The Governor said: "Bishop Walters, the constitutional amendment was passed by the Legislature to make white and black men by the year 1908; measure up to the true intelligent and high-standard of citizenship and if they don't measure up they will be denied a Democrat of Democrats and will not vote for any man devoid of honest qualities. Right after the Civil War when the colored people were clothed with citizenship they unfortunately fell into the wanted officers. They took advantage of your political ignorance to lead you for selfish purposes to oftimes vote for corrupt Republicans against sometimes high-minded Democrats. To-day the colored people are instead of having bad politicians leading you like sheep to the polls, you will have to lead them. You are fast seeing the necessity of developing political independence. Let me advise you to vote for more black men than white men, white or black, of either party, that does not stand for truth and righteousness. Governor Glenn also said. The white and colored people of North Carolina last year饮 $16,000,000 worth of whiskey in drinks $16,000,000 in the prisons in this State, 65 per cent. of them being colored. Are there because of whiskey and crime. Give me that money spent for whiskey and I will build churches, schools, hospitals, aged care, and other services which both races need. The colored people have not common sense and plenty of it. You have muscle and brains, and if you cannot win in the race of life you have to fight. The colored people, for you have not only North Carolina but the United States. "Colored friends," said the Governor, "you have no business to leave this country, especially North Carolina. One of the chief reasons why the South is colored is because you people are leaving here in large numbers for the North. You have got no business going North in large droves. There is nothing up North for you to do but to work in hotels, barber shops, restaurants, and universities in the North exclude you, from the other lucrative jobs. In the South the white and colored people work together, side by side, in the different fields of labor. In the North you want work. In the South you offer you work and hundreds of you won't accept it. Of course, we white people of the South won't call you Mr. or Mrs. like the Northern white people who do not love you any better. In the South we will work and request and protect the self-respecting and law-abiding colored peoples. Friends, stay in the South and help we white people here with fear and trembling, work on the same problem the same problem today. The South is your proper place. Stay here." JAMES VARICK The Great Founder of Zion Church AURORA, June 8. We attended the New York Conference, the oldest annual conference of the A. M. E. Zion denomination, at Brooklyn; N. Y. presided over by Bishon J. W. Wood, Bishops T. H. Lonaux, A. Walters and J. S. Caldwell and were general officers were present the Conference had raised for all purposes in the last twelve months over $45,000 Because of the denial of religious and ecclesiastical liberties to the colored members of the old John street Methodist church in New York city in refusing to attend the services of the Lord's Supper at the same table with the white members, in compelling them to sit in mosept galleries or "Jim-Crow" seats near the door, and also refusing to attend the services of the fellow-delighted called to preach, the gospel James Varkich, the most intellectual and influential member in said local white church, got the colored members together in 1786 and politely, quietly withdrew from the Episcopal Zion church, which to-day numbers over half a million members in the United States, Africa, British Honduras and some of the islands of the sea. An annual denomination has 34 annual conferences, or which New York is the mother. Bristol J. W. SMITH BROWNSVILLE INVITES SENATORS (Cit) Wants to Convince Feraker That Nerra Troon Did the Shooting. GATESON, Tex., June 8. The citizens of Brownsville, headed by the mayor and all the municipal and county officials, have forwarded an invitation to the members of the Senate Committee on the physical evidence of the alleged midnight raid of the negro soldiers of the Twenty-third infantry on August 12 has been preserved as fresh as the day the bullet holes and scars were made in the homes of civilians. The evidence they will be able to prove that the raid was made by black soldiers. Special reference is made to Senator Porker who has intimated that a visit to the scene may be attended with some fear of violence. The citizens assure the Senator that they will be a Washington and will have a grand reception and a company of mounted guards of honor. Flattering Lecture Offer to Dr. Washington. From The Tukekegee Student. Principal Booker T. Washington has just received an offer from one of the teachers at the West for a series of engagements during the coming summer, guaranteeing three hundred dollars for each engagement and stipulating that all money received at each place for single admissions up to the hour he speaks, to the teacher, be allowed him. All money received for admissions over the five hundred dollars is to be left for the Chautauqua manager. As a matter of fact, at all of the Western Chautauqua where he spoke last year, the manager realized from one thousand dollars alone the commissions guaranteed for Principal Washington's appearance before them. METHODIST BISHOPS TO HAVE CLOSEER UNION. AURIN, N. Y., June 8.—The Bishops only of the A. M. E., A. M. E. Zion and C. M. E. denominations have been invited most to a private conference in Walnut Hill, N.C., 21st August, 1907, at the A. M. E. Zion church, on Pennsylvania avenue, in the interest of a closer federation between their respective denominations. Correspondence relating to these events being on between the senior bishops of these powerful Methodist bodies. In the death of Dr. David Philip Bald on the 29th day of May, in the forty-second year of his age, the city loses one of its most worthy citizens and the rare one of its pioneers in professional life. Born in a humble home in Charlotte County, Va., the far-famed mother of president the 25th of March, 1918, of William of Willis, who in early life was taken to Wadden, North Carolina, of which he became a loyal and devoted son. 'Coming to New York when eighteen years of age, he noon secured employment with the inventor of crown and bridge work, with whom he worked for over nine years. Being desirous of practicing dentistry, he applied for admission to the New York College of Dentistry, but, because of his color, his application was denied. After a mechanical dentistry in Pittsburgh for the Philadelphia College of Dentistry, of Philadelphia, Pa. from which he graduated with high honors in 1891, Returning to New York, he began the practice of dentistry, being the first colored man to practice dentistry to be admitted to practice dentistry by the State Board of Dentistry, after examination. Already an expert mechanical dentist before he entered the Philadelphia College of Dentistry, he soon, by reason of his great efficiency, built up a large and charismatic array among both colored and white. Because of his selflessness, he fitted himself with every interest that tended to promote the elevation of his race, and, both by his moral and his financial support, he contributed his full measure to its advancement. He charmed and drew unfortunate, but kindly and undemonimational. Many churches were benefited by his generosity and he was a contributor poete the White Rose, Mission, to the Fresh Air Home, Westbury; to the New York city mission, to the Y. M. C. A. of which he was a benefactor. He served the Orphan Asylum, near Welton, N. C. Unterfired by superstition, unlettered by creed, he led the life of a Christian and his acts were animated by the loftiest motives and the highest ideals. He was a loyal and devoted friend in life, and a death. They who knew and loved him lay a flower, in love, upon his grave. Dr. Reid was a member of the New York Dental Society; of the Medical Chirurgical Society, and of the National Dermatologists and Physicians, Dentists and Pharmacists. He is a member of the old McDonough Memorial Hospital Association. His competency in his profession was not without its reward, for he leaves banks and bonds, money in banks and a treasured real estate holdings on Perot street, and, also, Boston Road, Kingsbridge, New York City; in Rockland Co., N. Y.; in Petersburg, Va., and in Weldon, N. C.; in New York City; in New York City; and in infant daughter, Gladys, need nine years, and an infant son, David P., Jr., aged twenty-one months. SPRINGFIELD CELEBRATES But It Has Its Own Ways About Doing So. Talk about the unfair actions of 'cleb Tom's Robin'. This old man quietly said he had seen Negraves hung up by the bands and whipped until they were cut down, missing from the town and the grounds smoked with the salt and water. Talk about the Congo atrocities? Robert Lees a Georgia slave, said that a slave's hours of labor were from daybreak until nightfall, and that often in the evening the night was a shill of air. He was very other work he torebbish. He described the system by which the overseers got, besides their salary, a commission on the increase in earnings per Negro: as this increase had to be $200 before the compensation of the operation, the oversee became so low that he Negraves in several counties turned on the oppressors and in one county nine overswaves were killed in one week—which led to an investigation and the final absolvishment of the case. The case was not a form of lending by burning, but had seven slaves held before a fire until they were Histered. He had seen them benten to death with wagon traces, and spoke of one case when the tortured Negro lost his weight and fell in the master's comet to his help while it was that some master who was beating him. He had often seen men and women running before bloodhounds, and had himself been chased fifty miles with dogs. As for the case, he was also a man who knew one who was so soft hearted that he could not bear the sight of a scratched finger, but he would sometimes order out his carriage and with his family drive off fifty or a hundred miles, leaving a note to the patient, and the slave was held to be designating the slaves from old women to be whipped during his few days' absence. But the old slaves did not omit to speak of some of the better sides of slavery; they knew of the other white men in the community to cheat his slaves in carrying out agreements the social downfall of the other resulted. It was Mrs. Martha Tucker, Tucker's sister, who was the local character in the proceedings. She could remember the South before railroads. She was first sold when 12 years old, and she was a slave. Her sisters and father and husband were sold. She said that she had seen as many as one hundred slaves, some heavily mancled, some crying and other singing "The Alabama with my bando on my knees." From The New York Sun In诉请ifying before the Senate Military Committee on Tuesday, Inspector General Garlington stated that he did not believe there had been a "conspiracy" among the non-commissioned officers and enlisted men of the battalion of the Twenty-fifth Infantry to know nothing about the murderous raid at Browniere on the night of August 13, 1906, and in his report of the attack, thoroughly consistent and discreet. Nowhere in the report which he made to the War Department on October 22, 1900, upon his failure to implicate the battalion, did Major Augustus P. Blockson, of the Inspector-General's Department, use the word in the report which he made on August 29, 1900, nor Lieutenant-Colonel General, in his report of October 4, 1900. It was the President of the United States who decided that there had been a conspiracy in the battalion to shield Negro men in the battle to abstain from the Word, which meant to be favorite with the President, more than once in the message which he sent to the Senate on December 19, 1906. In one passage he went so far as to intimate the conspiracy of the battalion might have been guilty. "Some of the non-commissioned officers and many of the men of the three companies in question have banded together in a conspiracy to protect the insurgents displayed their uniform by the conduct above related. Many of these non-commissioned officers, and men must have known and all of them may have known, circumstance in which would have been the cause of those curged in the murdering assault." General Garlington was placed in an embarrassing position when Senator Foraker asked him whether he did not go down to Brownville "to establish a relationship that he did not come away "without any knowledge whatever concerning the affray." The witness answered both questions in the affirmative. How otherwise could he have answered, the question relating to his business at Brownville when instructions from Robert S. Olive and Secretary of War, read as follows: "The President authorises you to make known to those concerned the orders given by him in this case and the recovery, the President approves the recommendation (made by Major Blockson) that the whole three companies implicated in this situation should be forever debarred from re-entering in the army or navy of the United States." The assumption that "the whole three companies implicated seem to have been the President's." It appears neither in the report nor in the recommendation made by Major Blockson. That officer committed himself only to the compensation about the latter's complicity: "Many of its old soldiers who had nothing to do with the raid must know something tangible as to the identity of Tobacco Garlington in his report and in his evidence given before the Senate committee conjectured that from five to twenty men were engaged in the Browning attack, and that he had "no knowledge whatever concerning the affray." So in the opinion of this excellent officer there was no conspiracy in the battalion to shield the guilty; and not more than twenty men were conceived in the raid, assuming that they were all of soldiers of the Twenty-fifth Infantry. The President dismissed the battalion without honor because he assumed there had been a conspiracy in its ranks to suppress evidence of the raid. If there were conspiracies in the raid, understanding shield the guilty, it is highly probable—and we venture to believe that General Garlington shares the opinion—that only a limited number of soldiers were prized to the understanding. All the available evidence when viewed together would prove that he believes the impression has steadily grown that most of the soldiers of the battalion knew nothing about the raid on the night of August 13, and that a gross injustice was done them by the summary and arbitrary act of the President in disguising from the service the whole battalion. From the moment the suspicion that their mother was abducted by a balgamot in his mind they were doomed. Democratic Demonstration and Utter Creativeness The center of interest is doing what it can unavoidably intelligently and disinterestedly to consider and discuss the political situation as ships slowly move into the waters of the 1900s. It truly wants to elect a Democratic President. It invites its Democratic constituencies in and out of Kentucky, to share its investigation with it and to join the action of the actualities of the situation. But in a spirit of inquiry and of brotherhood. "Those any one of them purpose, with out an effort at agreement, and preparation, to rurrender our chance of victory in advance, with eyes wide open to walk bluffed to defend? There are serious faults in our approach. There are many factions. Must they continue to battle our hopes? The Concur Journal may be mistaken; but it is sincere, it is selfless and it is in earnest. It seeks nothing but a Democratic triumph. If the party can be unified it believes, the possibility is not, however, that the party will not continue contemporaries in stigmatizing the Constitution of the United States as a "tactile" and its worship by Democrats is a "dangerous form of political idolatry." WILL JAPAN FIGHT? Control of the Pacific May Be Prize Fought For. From The New York World. PARK, June 8. Ernest Judet has a remarkable article in *L'Eclair* in which he declares his belief that war is inevitable between Japan and America. "In the contest for control of the Pacific, America will lose," says the writer, "sees a great loss of power, loudly beating off her position in the world between Europe, which she did not fear, and Asia, which she treated with contempt. Everything is changed now. The Pacific Ocean, which was supposed to be American lake, is simply a danger to Japanese subnations. President Roosevelt's recent pacific actions can be imputed to his desire to stave off the evil day. "But the Japanese are not duped. They know the weakness of the American army, the difficulty experienced in beginning the war, and the weakness of the American fleet, which has good ships but crews made up of adventurers of all races, including many Japanese." M. Judet thinks that many troubles in American ports are due to the influence of foreign agents and spies, and he concludes if a hostile war flee should arrive the ports would be devoid of all security. Commission Under New State Laws Washington, June 8—The first law Crow car case under the new law was argued before the Interstate Con- sensus. It was a rest case brought by Mine Goodwin of Ottawa, against the Northville, Chattanooga and St. Louis Railway. The compalat was represented by William H. H. Hart, of Washington, who was the employee of the late William M. Ewart, of Atlanta, pany answered through its attorney, John Tye of Atlanta. The rate law law went into effect on August 18 and on August 31 Mim Georgia Twins decided to test the legality of the law to prevent the private commerce. She purchased a ticket for Team, to Dalton, Ga., and took a case in the court reserved for white passengers. When she was ordered out she folded her arms and remarked, "I am an intermediate After some delay she was ejected from the petition set up discrimination, but specifies particularly the unequal accommodations, declaring that the Jim Crow coach had compartments with swinging doors, was filthy and dirty, and in other not the equal of the white folks' coach. Attorney Hart, for the complainant, directed his argument almost entirely to the illegality of the separation of passengers. He was reminded by Commissar Kirkup that the petition did not raise the issue of segregation but alleged unequal accommodations. The commission reserved its opinion. It is understood that the case will be carried into the courts and the constitutionality of the Jim Crow car in interstate commerce tested in the highest courts. A CUBAN HEROINE A Black Amman, More Than Six Few High, Living at Camaggey. *Maximo Gomez*, says W. E. Curtis in *The Chicago Record-Herald*, had several camping places in the timber, so well concealed that nobody, but well-trained that nobody could and him, and in one of these retreats house, have been maintained for more than two years. An ebony Amazon called La Bagnesia. Her real name is Rosa Castellanos, and she was one of the genuine heroines of the War of Liberation. She is now living in the province, providing the profession of nurse and parishioner honored and respected by all true Cubans. La Bayamesia is a giantset, six feet five inches in height and as black as a block of antique coal. Her muscular strength was extraordinary. Her strength was so extraordinary that she carried the sick and wounded insurer from the camp and battlefields of Santa Clara and Puerto Principe on her back 20, 30 and even 50 miles to her hospital. On a hill southeast of Camaguey. On a hill ordinary people she had a row of tents rudely supplied with the necessities of life and she housed her patients to the top in bainmocks. The hospital was imminent. It was it, and it was so concealed by timber that the Spaniards never could have found it except by accident. There Rosa Castellanos nursed the sick and wounded with assistance of several hospital astrakens and laborers in that part of the country knew there was such a place and respected her requests as if they were the commands of the Almighty. They gave her whatever she was much better humble stores and she was much better humble than any part of the insurgent forces. The insurgent government gave her a commission as captain in the army. She was much more entitled to the rank of captain than the commander who parade as such for when her hospital was vacant, when there were no sick or wounded to care for. La Bayamayne went down and fought in the ranks. She is now sixty and seventy years old, but is vigorous. When the proceeds of the thirty-five million dollar loan were being distributed among the veterans of the revolution she received eighteen hundred dollars as her reward, in which she bought a home in city of Camagayne, and there she is living now. THREE HUNDREDTH ANNIVERSARY Episcopalians to Celebrate Three Centuries of Church in America On Sunday next, June 16, in all the Protestant Episcopal churches there will be services commemorating the three hundredth anniversary of the first church service held by this church in America, held by the occasion of a thanks offering by the congregation to be turned in at the general convention, which will meet at Richmond in October.

He stated that there were but few churches of the denomination that made as strong a showing in made attendance as St. Phillip, the men of the parish should all turn out at this church service. The Sunday school will celebrate its eighty-ninth anniversary on Friday evening by appropriate exercises. A large audience filled the church. A Sunday morning and listened to a sermon by the rector; his theme being taken from Luke, x 31. "And by chance there came down a certain priest that way; and when he saw him, he passed by on the other side." THE DOOR OF OPPORTUNITY How Its Portals Have Swung Wide in Clasical Cambridge.

Y., June 8.—We are here in this beautiful city of Auburn, attending the Fifth session of the Western New York Conference, presided over by Bishop C. R. Harris, associated by the writer. Its reports show excellent progress and $25,000 for all purposes has been raised during the Conference year. In the evening the Conference was welcomed to the city by Mayor E. C. Aiken, Rev. J. H. Washington and Mrs. E. V. A. Brooks, and were responded to by Rev. J. W. Brown, Rev. J. W. H. Johnson, Mrs. C. F. Matthews and Rev. G. H. Morse. In his welcome address on behalf of the white churches of the city, Rev. E. J. Rosegrant, pastor of the First M. E. church, white said. "Bishops and Conference," my father was an abolitionist. I preached my first sermon to a colored congregation and at its conclusion in old colored mother came to the school, having found the old man to be poor, you preach such a helpful and comforting gospel. Friends, wonderful changes have come to pass in 42 years. What great advancements you have made? It is the most of all in all of all in the sixties, after your emancipation you were thrown out on the world without the knowledge of civil or self-government or self-protection, without much help and hopeless care, poverty, stricken, depleted and ill-modulated. But, than the beast that tilled the field, but, thank God, you are rising higher and higher despite prudice, opposition and wicked legislation. On-fifth of all the times the great clergers of the world, the beautiful homes, splendid farms, successful businesses, fine schools and magnificent churches, owned by the industrial, economical and progressive Negro, about the growth of the country to Africa? This Nation and especially the North cannot spare them. Their strong arms are developing this country. Their advancement along many lines has been rapid than the of the slave master-men who are now the most poor people who are from any foreign race that has come to our American shores. Thank God for the boys in blue who 42 years ago under the gallant leadership of Grant went down to Dixie's look for from the end of the late-days of the slave-driver's lash, four millions of Africa's able sons and daughters and set them free, and may they continue to keep against the progress until this great world shall whispers into line. Among the many questions of religion and race interest discussed by Bishop Harris in the Western New York Conference he said the following: "I must be using the Ritual as adopted by our General Conference and thus forestall, as far as may be, the necessity of a Colored Episcopal church which is now advised by bishops of the Protestant Episcopal Church. I believe that there is any demand from the laity who are inclined to Episcopal forms, surely it applies with equal or greater force to theoption of preacher's guards for the fership, if not to the denominate. We are also adopted the third option, and yet are not adopted the first option. Right Reverend for the bishops." "In regard to Negro immigration, I learn, in my visits this year through your conference, that there is a demand in the South for Negroes to work as women are already in demand in towns as cooks and housemaids, it would seem well for us to encourage men, young men, and women to work on the farms where we told them the average $25 a month and board. They could come to town from nequintensive help with the southern women and position themselves as the permanent citizenry of the State. As there are no discriminating laws against Negroes here as at the South, the better they are, the more likely they doublet prefer to remain here, notwithstanding the severity of cold weather which prevails in Winter. A famous orator once said, "Give me liberty or give me death. Why not organize an immigration bureau?" "Politically, for over 40 years the Negro has been persuaded in the South, because of his dogged and sometimes unreasonable regimen to the Republican party, to the great extent that he was the party that freed him. It ought not to be forgotten that without the Negro's help the Union would have been forced dissolved, and the flag of the Confederacy was raised over the Capitol at Montgomery, Alabama. Hence, this Nation owes the Negro a debt it will never repay. A few noble Republicans like Senator John B. Parker of Ohio, still acknowledge him but vast majority think it has been settled. "Ohio, without Negro Republicans would be a doubtful State, and hence it is good policy as well as good principles to allow Negro soldiers to participate in other Northern States to conceive the Negro vote. President Roosevelt did it when he dined with Booker T. Washinton and印军 stood by him when he asked him to vote for him. He then believed that the "door of hope" should not be closed against the Negro, But, also, to conquer Southern Democracy and build up a Republic in the South, he said, "Justice against Negro soldiers whom he had posted in the midst of inveterate racial and political foes. Why not put Negro soldiers on a friendly hand or seize them? Why not let them be tempted to retaliate for scorn and color or caste prejudice? Double some of these soldiers may have been guilty but, if so, why be so reckless of the fact? Why not allow them to valor and loyalty as to punish the innocent with the guilty? Under the circumstances the President should have held to the dictum, Better let ten guilty men not be sent to prison, the innocent man should (perch or suffer). "When the heads of the Republican party care more for Democratic votes which will never come to them than they do for Republican Negroes the more Negroes for Democratic white votes. Notwithstanding that, I am a Hooverville Republican. The Negro numbers only one-tenth of the population of this country, and neither grafted when nineteen cannot set all theirs' granted. Let not be too ready to condemn the Presidency for one mistake when he has shown the regard for honest and morally and toward us in a multitude of instances. But I am also a Prohibition fan and in the South where I the Democrat are predilegimizing the Negroes are predilegimizing the out of all the candidates who may deny my opinion. The President does well to send young cadets to the West Indies and the Philippines, for the climate is better adapted to them than to the white and the prejudice between the races in hosterness. But why not send true, freedom-loving cadets to the Philippines rather than the southern Democrats who cannot trust the unqualified Indian corps with respect, even if they desired to do so, because of long prejudice?

THE BOOKLOVERS' CLUB. Give a Farewell to U. A. Connell Hunt's Wife. WASHINGTON, June 10.—The Bookworm Club, of which Mrs. Ida Gibs-Hunt is a member, tendered her a farewell presentation Saturday evening, according to Mr. William H. Hunt, F. S. Connell at St. Ethelne, France. The club decided to have the entertainment take the form of an evening with Shakespeare, so that every feast works. The president of the club, Mrs. Lavana Moss, and its secretary, Mrs. H. E. Baker, were the committee of arrangements, and the program as printed on the evening's interesting medley of Shakespeare productions. Mrs. A. F. Hillyer began the program by a piano solo, entitled "Hark, Hark, the Lark," from Cymbeline, with music by William Shakespeare, quotation from each guest. Some artistic representation of a prominent Shakespearean character was displayed by each quest, and a prize was awarded the person who correctly answered the greatest number of such characters. Another feature of the program was the division of the guests into two rival classes arranged on opposite sides of the table, the lecturer alternately from the Bible and the works of Shakespeare were read by Mrs. Geo. W. Cook, who required each side to guess the author of the quotation. The answers produced a manageable mix-up of the Bible and the smoke of this intellectual battle cleared away and both classes had been "downed." Miss Mickie Cook of the Baltimore High School was left standing alone, the sole victor in the contest, and the only one worked right. The prize was hers. The next piece on the program was the reading of the trial scene from "The Merchant of Venice" by Mrs Goo, W. Cook, and James H. Hammond in the same manner. After this followed a series of guessing competitions armed to tax and test the company's familiarity with Shakespeare characters and quotations. This proved a very interesting diversion. This contest brought the evening to the final number—the piece de resistance—the supper table. But even the admission to the supper room involved a Shakespeare contest, for each guest was handed a card featuring a character from Shakespeare hero or heroine, the former being given to the gentlemen and the latter to the ladies. A failure to form the proper Shakespeare combination closed the door to the hungry crowd, and the last time in finding her Ferdinand and Rome flew to the side of his Juliet. Once seated at the supper table each guest found the following menu card. MENT. Salad. Finger Rolls. "My salad daisy!" Autony and Cleopatra. "I warrant there's vinegar and pepper in it"...

A beautiful friendship sonneneve Mrs. Strange, the beloved honor, Mrs. Hunt, who responded in a graceful and feeling speech of appreciation. Her father, Hon. Wiffin W.

There were over 1,800 in attendance, which included many visiting brother Elks. To the interest and cooperation of the committee of arrangements is the much of the success of the picnic. The said committee comprised T. A. Bentley chairman; J. Madoer, C. Struck, Joseph Williams, James H. Williams, R. Jeter, G. Campbell, T. R. Jones, G. Brown DeFoster, Offices of the Lodge of Elks, James S. Williams, exalted ruler; To the Batter of The New York Asc: There seems to be a widespread misinformation regarding the present legislation in the Intergovernmental Council serving "Negro Bihope." With your permission, I desire, briefly, to state the case as it h. The Memorial of the Colored Clergy and Lalty of the Rhinoceros Association. Negro Bihope, is not directed after the curtailment of one single ecclesiastical privilege new enjoyed by colored churchmen. If the proposed legislation is adopted it will not affect the least change in the religious practices of the men. The legislation proposed is simply permissive in its character. At present there are any number of colored congregations in the South having no official and organic connection with the Episcopal church in the several dioceses they are situated. The white conventions will all be kept the membership. Now, the legislation proposed, simply makes it law, wherever it may be desired, to group such Negro parishes and missions together, into a missionary district, with a Bishop of their own, and the district, including the general convention of the church. As it is now, Negro churchmen are excluded from, contact in the Diocesan Conventions. Such are isolated ad have no contact with the church. The proposed plan is simply to give them contact and representation of the church. The Hon. Seth Low of New York, in a speech in the General Convention of 1880, said: "It seems to me perfectly consistent with the theory of equality that the point of contact between the races should take place in the diocesan conventions, and that apart from economical usage there is no reason at all why there should not be an organization of colored men with their own bishops as well as their own presbyteries, and that they have a seat in the House of Bishops, and deputies from the congregations should have seats with equal rights in this House with deputies from the white congregations. It is interesting to note that all objectives to the plan proposed may be classified into two groups: First, there are those who profess that they are not in favor of any plan which would be "color-line" is officially recognized in the smallest unit of the church. We have "white" parishes, and "colored" parishes. We colored men ordained to the ministry. We sent to labor in the "colored" group. All of them were not so much as "white" and "colored" parishes, we would not have the present difficulty. All the trouble arises when the attempt is made to bring together, in one diocesan convention, in one bishop, the white and colored units. "The second class of white objectors to our plan rest their opposition in a fundamental distrust of the colored race. The second class of white objectors they also may be classed under two heads. I regret very much to say, after an experience of twenty years in the ministry, that there is a small contingent of white objectors in the church who seem to believe that the Episcopal church is too high a thing for the ordinary Negro; and, hence, are opposed to any plan which will reach them in large numbers. Many of this class and their leaders, because they want to get as far as possible from the ordinary Negro. Hence their opposition to "Negro" bishops. The second class of Negroes who object to the ordination of white objectors will evidently be styled, "ecclesiastical paupers." They are content to hear and sustain any amount of humiliation and inconvenience, so long as the white people will pay the support of their representatives and relieve them of their responsibilities.

CARES REYENEE HEAD WASHINGTON, June 4 — Announcement was made today that John C. Cowers of Greenville, S.C., would announce the appointment of Irene T. Wheeler to the understanding that he would resign in December, when Pearl Wight of New Orleans will take the office. The selection will be announced later. Mr. Cowers' announcement is bound to create much comment in the South and elsewhere for the reason that he was hired from a Federal office by Mr. Rosswell. Mr. Cameron was a Democrat who became a Republican. President McKinley made him an assistant Attorney-General and he was subsequently appointed United States Attorney for South Carolina and later became the management of the Republican nationwide in South Carolina, and while those wereigned by the Administration, President Roosevelt decided that it would be better to have somebody else in Mr. Cameron's place. Since his retirement from the District Attorney's office, Mr. Cameron has been in office as Commissioner of Internal Revenue will be 60 a year. The appointment of Mr. Capers is intended like that of Mr. Wight, as a recognition of the Republican party in the Southern States, Mr. Capers is the Republican national committeeman from South Carolina.

Lively Blaze Drives Many Families From Nightly-eighth Street A fire-story double tenement at 213 East Eighty-eight street, occupied by four families to a floor, caught fire shortly before 8 o'clock last Thursday night. The fire ran up the airship of the house and surged over the roof to 215 East Eighty-eight street, another tenement occupied by the police and firemen a hard hour's work. Justin Rowan, 10 years old, was missing after the fire. The dames got their start in a pile of rubbish in the collar near the airship, Mrs. Lizzie Bowman and her daughter, Mrs. Robert Bowman, put wood. Then the dames were roaring up the airship and Mrs. Bowman ran, upstairs to warn the tenants. She said after the fire that her daughter, wont be able to move the furniture at the last minute. Following the juniors' warning the big tenement buzzed like a beehive and the frightened tenants carrying all sorts of household gear, come out and crowd gathered that Inspector Dillon called out the reserves of three prescents to form fire lines. Deputy Chief Dougherty came with the first engine and after the fire, although the roof and upper tenement next door were badly covered, the damage was assisted at $5,000. SHOOTS INTO FERRY CROWD. South Carolina Strike Breaker Wounds a Man and a Boy Paul Poinsettia, a South Carolina Negro who came North to work as a strike breaker on the docks pulled a revolver as the ferryboat Ringhamton landed at Ringhamton street last Saturday night and began to fire off the boat. Two persons fell wounded, and it was only after a hard fight that three policemen of the Church street station captured the Negro and beat off him in its own way. He was locked up the Church street station charged with felonies assault. The Negro gave his home as 152 Church street, Charleston, S. C. and said to WSS that he was the first Negro to come to Hoboken Friday with other Negros and want to work for the North German Lloyd Steamship Line. Last night he and a friend, David Summers, 20 years old, who lives in an neighbor's house, were brought to the ferryboat Ringhamton at her Hoboken ship, guarded by two detectives employed by the company. There, he said, the detectives left them and they started for New York. When the ferryboot, which carried about three hundred passengers was in mid-tream Poinsettia and Sommers were attacked by a crowd of men said by witnesses to have been strikes or strike sympathizers, the boat was corroborated Poinsettia's story in part.

W. S. Lampton, and Jacob B. Walter. General Howard, who will review the parade of the Grand Army paws in this city to-day, in the most distinguished survivor of the Union Generals who made history in the years that tried men so hard between April 12, 1861, when Bantor was fired on, and April 18, 1865, when the great civil conflict ended at Appointox. General Howard, in paying tribute to the memory of General Joseph Wheeler in the early part of last year, said: "It is and to see the soldieries whom I have known passing away, but, as I look at it, there is a comfort in this: that so many of them have left a record of integrity and honor who our present and coming young men will do well to emu- Such is the record of Oliver Otis Howard in a long life devoted to his country in the fields of war and peace. The Union armies contained no soldier who had not been a religious man in the camp and on the march, and always offered prayer before joining battle. There is a fine story told of General Howard's war trying to start a balky hule in the Tennessee campaign. "Exeuse me, General," said the offender. "I did not know you were present." With great dignity the General replied: "I was a soldier in the war, and I came from a higher and better motive than because of my presence." On one occasion General Sherman wrote to General Grant about Howard: "I find a polished man who is intelligent and the highest and most chivalrous traits of character." And so it happened that the young soldier who had been called "Phinus Howard" at Howdowin and had prayed with siege artillery men he had seen at mess in the stress of war times without provoking a show of intolerance among men who could not understand his robust spirit. Sherman understood it however. He once said: "Howard is like from us; he believes in his religion." From the day Oliver Olsen Howard left the chair of mathematics at West Point, resisting with the exclamation "My country needs me," when leave was resumed. He was constantly at the front, except for six months' incapacity after he left an arm at Fair Oaks, always moving his mattle and rendering invaluable services. From the Colonelcy of the Third Maine Column, he was the second round of the Army of Tennessee. With a calmness which was attributed to fanfare, he was famous for exposing himself. Tremendooily in earnest, he finished as little from routine work as with the Army, and by never taking stimulants. At Gettysburg, holding the key to the Federal position, Howard stood like a rock. At Antietam, Fredericksburg and Chancellerville he handled his troops with unimpeded efficiency, and the survivals of the corps commanders who parached with Sherman to the son. His Indian campaigns against the Nex Persc in 1874 and the Hammocks and Piutes in 1878 were conducted with the same goal. He was a brilliant leader in the civil war. He has written admirably about the heroic Joseph. Events have moved so fast in recent years that most of us have forgotten that General Howard remained in the army during the war, and was appointed to the East, with headquarters at Governor's Island, when he retired After serving his country as a soldier for forty-four years he entered upon a civic career which has added to his distinction. General Howard was given him on October 31, 1844, in Brooklyn, at the time of his retirement from the army, when he said: "The institutions which make this Government are the family, the public schools, the churches and the town meeting." In his seventy-seventh year, General Howard is still doing his duty as a citizen on the active list, and he gets through his duties with ease. Nothing is more likeable about him than his fair judgments and generous estimates of surviving Confederates With one of them, General Stephen D. Ask, like himself one of the responsible soldiers, he has been able to collaborate in a history of the conflict. If completed it will doublesthe be just to both sides and a painstaking work. In Oliver Otto Howard we of the century took a type of soldier whom we can count on and honor on each recurring Memorial day. TUSKEGEE GETS SHAW ESTATE. Hooker T. Washington Hearts the Jury's Verdict on the Bench. Dr. Bocker T. Washington sat on the bench with Justice Dayton in the Supreme Court Monday while a jury was out determining whether or not Mrs. Mary E. Shaw, of John W. A. Shaw, the well-known writer and politician, was of sound and dispensing mind when she made a will four years ago, leaving the bulk of her estate to the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute. The jury was out only a few minutes before Mrs. Shaw's will, and Mr. Washington had the court very much pleased. He had expected to be a witness, but was not called. She well and a number of cousins of Mrs. Shaw contested the will, alleging that after Mrs. Shaw inherited some $20,000 from Mrs. Catherine Aune Ten Hout her friend, Mrs. Shaw took to entertaining herself. Other actions of Mrs. Shaw the relatives denounced as main indicator of her security, especially as her will ignored them. Mrs. Shaw made a will bequeathing to her mother, Sarah A. Porter, the income from $10,000 for life, on the mother's death half of the $10,000 to go to Mrs. Goldhoff. Mrs. Goldhoff was to be a memorial to Mrs. Shaw's daughter Eilah, who died at Tuskegee. Another trust fund of $10,000, set aside to provide an income for Miss Anne Johnson, another friend returns to Tuskegee, to be added to the will. All the residuary estate, save heirs of $1,000 to the Flushing Free Library, $2,000 to St. Philips' church and $1,000 to the Hospital and Dispensary of Flushing was left to Tuskegee. The will testified that Mrs. Shaw was quite save and normal when she declared it to her last will and testament. For threecore years the office of President has been a Northern asset and the Vice-Presidency has been equally out of the South reach since 1864. The executive department has an entirely sectional affair that has been since the first sectional ticket—Lincoln and Hamilton—were elected. Might it not be a whole-come thing for the Southern people to assert themselves, take up a Southern man, nominate him, and challenge the North for a showdown of real America? Or would the equality of States, the equality of sects and the equality of men? FREE! FREE! FREE!

From The New York Times. American sewing machines are undoubtedly the most popular throughout the colony of Natal, although English and German manufacturers are making rapid progress in the perfection of their machines and are steadily increasing the general sales in all the colonies of South Africa. There seems to be a greater demand for the hand sewing machines of the cheapest sorts, and in this line of goods the American manufacturer appears to be out of the competition; but in the higher grades the American machine evens all other makes and stands in a class quite by itself in giving general satisfaction. There are numerous complaints from both the agents and purchasers of the cheaper grades of the American make that the machines are not properly set up and they have been carefully assembled and fitted to the machine for the "hurry-up" methods of some of the American manufacturers to fill rush orders, regardless of the interests of either the agent or purchaser. The claim is made that the American sewing machines of the lower grades are poorly made and of poor durability as compared with those of the English and German make of similar grade.

The time can easily be resulted when predictions were relegant that the American Negro could not master the ruler of American civilization, or acquire the highest office in the country. The opportunity has been offered individual members of the race have, one by one, broken over the set barriers, as that now in education, in literature, the arts, and in profession has been achieved so largely as not to available quantities. On the stage, as elsewhere, the Negro was disexposed. He could not advance; he was und and could remain only a knook about camelion, a man of the discourant and accepted beliefs. But, here also, success writ large, has been achieved. It is comparative success only, to be sure, but a sure and steady endeavor is tolerated only in miniseries, with his crude and suggestive humor, and indifferent acting. His im perceptions were worse than caricatures. As a rule, they were based on the black plowers, or albums by these first black plowers, even as the 'burnt cork' white ministrels of that period wittingly labeled us in their portrayals. The story of the Negro's evolution on the stage is quite as interesting a chapter as can be written of his progress in other characters. These reflections are called to mind by the appearance, as I note by the Acer. of Cole and Johnson's "Shoo-Fly Regiment" in New York City this week. Recently, in Chicago, had opposed to be present at a protest of wonder, counsel of pathos, subtle humor, bold-time fun, and patriotism, with evidences everywhere of the touch of master artists, from the composition of the music and the singing of the songs, to the smallest detail of stage craftsmanship. The plot is strong, very strong, much stronger than the slender threat of a plot upon which most musical comedies de Bob Cole, who wrote the book, and Rosamond Johnson, who composed the music, are the chief characters. Their fitness to do a creditable piece of work was guaranteed by the long list of catchy songs which have proved unparalleled "hits" during the past six or seven years. Musically it is one of the strongest shows I have seen. The rich harmony of the ensemble, the catchy, all-pervadingness of the solo, the exquisite lyric precision, the costuming, and even the sometimes appréciated "ragtime," possess the like of a man who is so good at writing, and, if he be a Negro, thrill him with pride that young men of his race should so splendidly have wrought. There are flaws of course; no one recognizes this more than the authors, but they have, like Messrs. Williams and Walker, and their collaborators. Messrs. Nhipp and Rogers made popular throughout the country a production which is a country to their race. It is a country, and it is a treat. The Indebtedness of the歌剧, and the歌剧, the imitimate, as The Indebtedness of Star says. The songs, "The Gay Lunetta," "La Philippa," "Always Something Wrong," "Won't You Be My Little Brown Beau?" "The Southland," "If Adam Hadn't Seen the Appletree," and a number of others, to the total of twenty-one, with Harry Williams as musical director, are good: they are very fine. Fifty people composed the cast who, I saw it, and the support of a man who, Anna Cook, Banker, and the more than 300-ankey, Sam Lasch, Fannie Wise, Wesley Jenkins, and Andrew Tribble shine each in their receiveable sphere. A Southern newspaper, published at San Antonio, Texas, paid the company, when it visited there, the praise of unusual compliments. It apprehended an alimony and said to the authors and said in beating words: "Why they call it the 'Shoo Fly Regiment' inobvious. A more dignified title, and one befitting such a meritorious entertainment, might be better to face many empty seats in the lower part of the house. Those who came to see the ordinary buffoonery of the average Negro company remained to wonder at, to be entertained and to entertain—n play constructed in a natural manner, performed in a natural manner and from the point of art considerations, the most perfect that has faced a San Antonio man. The play in this performance of the Cole and Johnson people, and more than that, there is tact throughout in the atmosphere of the play that betrays the hand of the diplomat, the man who soothly presents his claims without resort to subterfuge or appeal to shallow sympathy. "The comedy parts, without exception, are handled by actors of great ability, and the comedy parts are cleaned in a subtle effort to elevate the American Negro, and without a trace of a tendency to demoralise him. The movie has the necessary ministerial has a fascinating result, and it is this unique instance of distancing their itineraries that gives the strongest indication of the possibilities of future Negro folk-song. The voices are practically perfect, and only the master hand in scientific musical construction could have put together the admirable part work that so affected an otherwise nonchalant subterranean "This show is too good to die in its infancy, it deserves to be placed with the classics in stagecraft, and Cole and Johnson can be assured of a warm welcome from the audience. Also, while in Chicago, I went out to Robert T. Motta's Pekin theater. The Agr already has described this fine little playhouse. It is attractively furnished, with a thousand good seats, and completely under Nero management. Mr. Motta himself, down, including Thomas P. Mottas, treasurer; J. Edward Green, director of amusements, Joe Jordan, musical director, a stage carpenter, a lady attendant, a house physician and other teachers. Dr. D. Tuskegee, a musical comedy, book and lyrics by Stanley Wood and music by Joe Jordan and J. T. Byrnan, was the attraction. It, like all of the Motta's productions, was well staged, well acted, well sung, and best in G. Wells, the English publicist in his book, "The Future in America," speaks of a visit to the Pekin theatre and of the splendid impression made upon him by all that he saw and heard. The Pekin is one of the "show-plays," Chicago, and is offering a surprise black theatrical a chance to enter," their warrants. Clarence Cameron White, of Washington, the violinist, and G. Luther Sidgair, also of Washington, put on the boards a few evenings ago a new musical comedy, "The Isle of Never." I have not it, but I know Mr. White will have such an in musical ability that I have it too, it too, is tuneful and catchy. What these men, along with Harry T. Burleigh and Will Marion Cook, and Shipp & Rogers, whom I have mentioned, Ernest Hogan, S. H. Dudley and a number of other composers are doing is of inexplicable value. In accompanying preface to this book, Nogus ability in this be as interesting experiences that in the long play above we will find ... strikes, shoving how strong a hold the man and his work have taken upon the imagination of the playwright. People go to the theatre. They like to be in the audience, but the vehicle presumably is launched. It may be, after all, that the forces working for our betterment and appealing to the better judgment and higher appraisal of men may come to reason the Negro playwright as a valuable asset. The Only Organs and Piano Registers—Former Collector of Outfits NEW BENNE, N. C., June 11.—There is an element in the South among the Afro-American people that is rapidly bringing them together for their own business. For example, the former, have not been given the consideration they justly deserve by the press, hence the Afro-American people of one State are in ignorance as to the efforts and successes of other States. M. W. W. Lawrence, a native of this city, is a progressive business man. Mr. Lawrence has the distinction of being the only Afro-American in Eastern North Carolina, that of being a pianist. For fifteen years he was a conspicuous figure in the Republican Conventions of this State and for five years served in the district of Famhico, N. C., a Deputy Governor of custom, and charged of the collector's office and managed its affairs to the satisfaction of all concerned, which brought about his endorsement, during the year of 1897, by the incumbent State. He is a general insurance agent and notary public, a grand director of W. W. LAWRENCE The Grand United Order of Oblt Fellows in America and an influential character in the order of K. of P. As a churchman, he is as a myamau found in all of the councils of his general church which is the A. M. E. Z. conviction. There are two Afro-American lawyers in the state of New York. It is a law of lawyers are highly extended by menurists of the bar and have the confidence of the general public. The Consellor R. W. Williamson, is the senior Afro-Americans lawyer, practicing before the bar of this city and county. His clientation is a whole, is made up of the progressive class of Afro-Americans whose civil affairs are protected by him. The new house, stores and hall owned by Mr. Williamson—shown in the recent report, is being the recent extant possessing the traits that make him a complete man, and no pillar in the Presbyterian church. He is often a conspicuous figure in the general assembly of his church. Lawyer R. O'Hernan is a companyman with a keen interest in showing the ability that is making him a power in this community. He is a power in creating an impression for good, and never misises an opportunity to have Afro-American lawyers going to be working for themselves. His successful handling of civil suits proves the worth of the man. These two lawyers have excellent offices and if their sound counsel prepare for the city will be American enterprises. The natural advantages of New America are good and if the management of Afro-American industries here used modern methods, numbered every detail of their businesses, and the other of their public verifying and an active expense of the people, and being prompt in their transaction with the public, fine results, financially and otherwise would be gained. The business that will set up the business is the business that will not out-dollar in one to make $110. You cannot expect the people to patronize a concern that hasn't the facilities to do business and the management are appealing to the needs of their patrons. There are many other patrons who are known among Afro-American business men to erect a large building with an auditorium, lodge rooms, offices and stores. What is the matter? The people should take care of them when they don't the business men of this community see after these dollars that Afro-Americans spend each week and see that a department store is opened here and the store is the most�'s. The most�'s in addition to the most�'s and intelligent young ladies that don't have a lucrative position. You can't preach one thing and not another, it is false and inconsistent, therefore in order to prove the you are correct. And it. You business men of New York, together with the case of New Business, the case of ex-pain business ailments then like men apply the remedy. Gen. F. KING Patterson's New Church.
