All Afro-American Applicants for Medical License Fall in State Board Examinations. Special Correspondence of The Age: LITTLE HOCK, July 14. There will soon be established in this city a medical college whose professors and instructors will all be colored men. The men behind the guns are Dr. Robinson, Hickman, Harymen, Sugra, Thornton, Bruce, Coleman, Warnack and others. Connected with the medical school will be a colored hospital and nurses' training school. It is not known whether this forthcoming medical college will be connected with the Smith, Arkansas Baptist or Shorter College, institutions of learning which are located in this city. Now, colored students, from Texas, Oklahoma and the Southwest must either go to Tennessee or Chicago, so that an Afro-American medical college is much needed in the great and growing Southwest. In this city there are not a few colored real estate brokers and money lenders on bonds and mortgages and other securities. Singfield, Jones and Boatner are the names of the more prominent gentlemen engaged in the fore-American "land speculators"; because, through them, hundreds of people have押卖 improved homes. The progressive Afro-American in the Southwest is a homeowner, while not a few ladies in the city of roses are expert in doing "battenberg" and other fancy needlework that instructor it. English literature at the Capitol Hill high school, Lawyer Nichols' wife and Mrs. Lee Broadway, have work that would take the grand prize at a Paris exposition. Mrs. Fleetwood is an excellent artist. The walls of her beautiful Broadway home are literally covered with her own brain and hand. The city of roses also has one music teacher who holds a diploma from the New England Conservatory of Music at Boston, viz., Miss Florence Bee Smith, instructor of music at the Cotton Plant Academy. The people of this city are very up-to-date in their own brain and heart to the race question. Miss Stella Bush, daughter of Mr. John E. Bush, the wealthy capitalist, and the leading colored politician of the State, is also one of the most excellent pianists in this section of the country. Mr. Dunn Murray of Washington, says that Negroes have produced (40%) of the music heard from the would have to revise his statistics. It may be interesting to the readers of THE AGE to know that the Rose City has produced an inventor, Dr. Harry Smith, D. D. S., has invented a machine whb will take the stone out of a clinging piece of wood and place it now in correspondence with this inventor. This same inventor is also a painter, the only man who has ever put the old Southern cotton field scenes on canvas. In addition to being an artist and a dentist, Dr. Smith is an author, having written a work entitled 'Mar. The Black Mammies of the South.' There are several graduate trained nurses engaged in their calling, and they all are doing excellently. Colored trained nurses have plenty to do in Little Rock, Arkansas, and would be no competition among them. There is an opening here for a couple of good colored caterers, such as there are in Baltimore, Philadelphia and New York, and several good, first-class babies' hair dressing and manicuring parlors. These business enterprises would open up suitable places. Besides, it would give employment to more young women of the race. The Oaks Jewelry Company is a colored firm doing an excellent business, and Mr. J. E. Henderson, whose well-stocked store is located at Ninth and Brondway, is one of the leading jewelers in the State. Henderson learned he can make a Zirconia bracelet for whom he worked "at the bench" for twelve years; he is therefore a practician workman, and is so recognized by all the white jewelers of the city. This city also possesses two colored umbrellas menus, who make a good living by making and repairing umbrellas. There is an opening here for a good colored saddle and harness under a white woolen jacket. Tuskegee Institute graduate has not heard of the golden chincess out this way. There is also a good change out this way for a colored veterinary surgeon, civil engineer, draughtsman and architect. Colored contractors are compelled to work by the plans of white architects, and colored owners of horses are compelled to make their colored white horse braces by white hardwear makers. Tuskegee and Hampton take notice. the public school teachers, both regular, and substitute teachers in the street Union and Capital Hill high school have been reappointed. It is said, however, that young "Lochinvar" are around and that there will be several big weddings—not now, but soon. In this city is located the usual State institutions and Colored Blind school has for its principal Prof. T. R. Ish, who is one of the most efficient teachers of the blind. He is assisted by a lady teacher of the blind in the southwest. Living in the Rose City is Mr. Lewis Porter. Deputy Grand Master of the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows. The Odd Fellows lodges in this city have recently purchased a large brick hall at a cost of $12,000, which contains lodge rooms, and around floor being occupied by business firms. Its location is on Ninth and Gaines streets, opposite the Allison Presbyterian church. The Knights of Pythians, Sons and Daughters of Tabor. True Reformers, Monks, and Free and Accepted Masons are also very strong secret organizations. The Knights of Pythians hold in the Fall. John E. Bush is at the head of this movement. Little Rock will then, in a few months, have two colored banks. Whether Roosevelt, McKinley or the Afro-American electors themselves are to blame, the Afro-American in politics in this State it is predicted will soon be as "ships that pass in the night," because there is a strong lily-white element in control of the state government in Minnesota. There are however in the State, more Afro-Americans in the Government service than in any State south of the Potomac river. At the last examination held by the examiners of the Arkansas State Medical Society, it is said all the colored candidates failed to pass. Candidates for medical licenses should equip themselves in anatomy, histology, obstetrics, chemistry, pathology, physiology, theory and practice, therapeutics, neurology, bacteriology, surgery, medical jurisprudence, dermatology, gynocosmetics, pediatrics and questioning, scopy. The State Board approves the Medical Brief or Medicine World, gives the student a fair insight into what he may expect from the Arkansas State Board. And there is no reason why students taking the examination should not pass up. It is not race prejudice that keeps the colored student from passing; the boys do not do sufficient work. They should "pole" more, and burn a little more midnight oil; then they could easily cross the "jones assamorum" hang out their shirts and their hustle. The American Society's infirmity work in every State the Union, notably raising the standard of medical education and requirements. The charge made by some colored newspaper writers and correspondents that prejudice is at work is groundless. Recently there has been organized in this city a barbers' labor union which includes the white and colored barbers in one and the same union. The labor leaders are thus bringing the white and colored laborers together, while the white prisoner and the black man will soon be out of campaign ammunition and perhaps the office that he now holds. The labor unions and white labor leaders are doing what the Christian churches and the Christian religion could not do—bringing the Southern white laboring man and his brother in black should to shoulder with each other, contending for principles and values. The white police officer, the South's mental fetish—social equality—which has been ignorantly worshipped by the white South for over 300 years, like a Georgian rabbit's foot, is gradually losing its charm. J. M. R. PROF. DU BOIS AND THE POLL TAX He and Prof. Hershaw Have Failed to Pay It—Efforts Being Made to Meet the Difraunishment Movement in Georgia. ATLANTA, Ga., July 12—Our people in the State of Georgia are sparing no pain to protect their rights. It is probable that the State Legislature will try to pass a law which will have for its object the disfranchisement of a large portion of the Afro-American people. Of course, before this becomes a law, it will have to be submitted to the votes of the people of Georgia. To do this, we must hold in different parts of Georgia for the purpose of urging our people to pay taxes and register, so as to be prepared when the proper time comes. In this way they hope to be able to engineer a large vote against the measure in case it is submitted to the people. Several important meetings have been held in the city of Atlanta recently. In making a canvass to find out just where we stand in the matter of votes in Georgia we have been surprised very tach to find that many of our most prominent men, who talk a great deal of voting, are not on the voting list, because they have not paid their poll tax and are not registered. Among them are Prof. Dubois and Mr. L. M. Hershaw. Both of these men spend a great deal of time discussing the ballot, and you can imagine the surprise of our people who find that Prof. Dubois is not that prof. Prof. Dubois not Mr. Hershaw had even paid their poll tax, and neither of their names was down as a registered voter. Any man who wishes to do so can pay his poll tax and register in the State of Georgia. There is no reason why these two men should not set an example in this respect to our people. ENGINEER FOILED HOLD-UP MEN. Gave them a Long Ride, Feeling They Would Be a Wreck If He Purpled. Four Negroes, who apparently had planned to rob a boy car, stepped away from Poseidonquin N.J. last Thursday by breaking a signal and setting it at the "changer" position. They climbed into the locomotive cab and ordered H.B. Lawrence, the engineer, and his fireman to uncouple one car and run the locomotive on down the line. Lawrence, however, opened the throttle and the train started out rapidly. The fireman tried to stop the engine if he didn't stop, but they didn't show any weapons and the fireman, armed with his shot, kept them back in the coal pit. The train flew by the Elizabeth station. Nearing the siding at Wavestly, it had to slow up in speed and then the Negroes jumped off. The Newark police were notified and they made after the fugitives joined the train. William Mabler, son of the late Edward Mabler, a former police commissioner of Newark, was out in an automobile and asked three policemen to jump in. Then he started after the negroes and finally overhaul them at New York avenue and Ann street, Newark. Played out from their long run, the Negroes were not able to put up much in a fight with the firemen. Norman Tobin and Clarence Davis, they all under 21 years of age. All said they lived in Philadelphia. AN AFRO-AMERICAN JOURNAL OF NEWS AND OPINION NEW YORK, THURSDAY, JULY 18, 1907 Thrilling Development in Fifteen Years Special Correspondence of THE AGE Meansman, Miss, July 15. The Minisippi Negro is a wonderful child of a be-ing. Nothing daunts; him; of nothing is he afraid, and the words of his traduccers he takes as so much inspiration and moves on, "nor looks behind where hot the bounds come laying at his hip." He advertises but little; he simply invites one in his travels to look in upon him, and see what has been done in fifteen years. Fifteen? It was only fifteen years ago that the Negroes of that State looked down and behold diamonds under their feet, and legged, ricking them up. The third annual session of the Mississippi Negro Business League has just adjourned, having met this year at Meridien. I have attended each of the meetings of the National League save one. To me none has been more inspiring in the light of the evidences of progress, more enthusiastic in the abounding hope, nor, comparatively more largely attended. And in point of dignity and poise, and a serious appreciation of the importance upon both the league and the influence the Negro people, this meeting fairly shone out as conspicuously as the Nashville session of the National League, for that, so far, is the most wholly successful of all the National meetings. To Meridien came five hundred visitors, two hundred of that number being delegates to the league. I know Mississippi, I think, from Tishomingo and Desoto to Hancock and Wilkinson. Knowing it as so, I have no hesitancy in saying that the Negro League is gathering of Negroes of Mississippi I even want me. I have seen, presented itself at Meridian. It represented the leadership of the present era in all that leadership implies. Money, education, worth, work, character, all, all were there. Sitting in the moonlight after an evening session, some man, it might have been McKissack, made a rough estimate of the wealth represented at this meeting. It was a million ($1,000,000) dollars, more than was represented at the Boston meeting of the Negro League. That was conservative for I knew permanently that there were two men there who easily could have pooled two hundred thousand ($200,000) dollars and still had left pocket change. I said the leaders were there. So they were. Mississippi is a parochial State' provincialism among both races is somewhat of a religion. That is why, finally the Negroes are united. The attitude of the whites assists this union mightily incomparably. There were Banks, the founder and president of the league whose address, abounding in eloquent philosophy, brought forth a most unusual expression from the leading Mollusk of Indiana, the builder of Mound Bayou, Mollison brilliant lawyer, founder of the first of Mississippi's thirteen Negro banks—The Lincoln; President Rowan of unfortunate Moor College, the football of politicians; the Howards, all of them, a whole brigade of lawyers and doctors they are; Redmond, the wealthy banker and physician and first citizen of Jackson; McKissack, executive head of the largest federal insurance concern among Negroes in the country; Greene, the Marshman sumper bermatant of Cox, caster of Mollusk of Indiana, the way of Sunflower; Stranther Washington, perhaps the best business man among Negroes in the South; Hardy, grand chancellor of the Mississippi K. of P., an office carrying with it the force and character of leadership; Coleman from Minnox; Richardson, thirty years postmaster at the city of Port Gibson; Gary of Isaquena, and others of more or less light and leading. The Rev. Dr. E. W. Lampton, who is first in the hearts of the great mass of Negroes in the city, was conspicuous by his absence, but his message is oxygene lip, and he sent his message of insurance Upon these names I rest my contention of the highly representative character of the meeting, and likewise its dignity and importance. President Banks has come to be somewhat of a yearly prophet for his people. His annual address attracted wide attention throughout the South, and afforded not only inspiration for his own people, but texts for sermons from the white editors of that section. His Meriden address was able and ably delivered, and is regarded as the keynote of the Mississippi Negro's platform. I feel impelled to mention especially the brilliant paper on "Ancient Bankers," prepared and delivered by W. E. Mellison, chairman of the National Negro Bankers Association. I think there are but few bankers anywhere, producing such a tower, showing, as it does, a remarkable familiarity with usury and banking since exchange of any character whatsoever began. It is extremely likely that it will find a place in the pages of an early number The American Banker. The program proper included addresses on "Making Farming Pay." "How I Have Succeeded in the Millinery Business," "The Rise and Progress of the Negro Physician," "The Negro as a Barber in the Mississippi Opportunities Opened to the Negro Dresser," and "Success as I Have Found It in the Shop Business." One of the most inspiring sessions of the meeting was that given over to the bankers. Mississippi has within its border almost one-third of all the Negro banks in the country and each of them has discussed was as interesting to the depositor as to the custier or director, Dr. W. A. Attiway, president of the Delta Bank at Indianola, said the Negro bankers were much like his office boy, John. John is always either tardy or absent when he is most desired. He has, however, always been on his toes. His deos appear "Why, John," the doctor scolds, "come on, come on; you are, never here when I want you." "Coming, doctor, coming; I'm coming all the time, all the time; you just don't care me." The Negro bankers are coming all the time, their programmes was in practical subject, consisted of such practical subjects as "Utility of Banking to the Negro" H. H.

Davis, the statistician of the league, made a partial report of the status of the Mississippi Negro. His report in part follows: Banks, 11, capital stock $22,000, business $12,400; colleges, 14, scholars $5,800; independent schools, 20, scholars $1,800; cotton gins, 60; saw mills 17; dry goods stores, 90; grocers, 1,121; residences, 85; lawyers, 11, doctors, 25; dentists, 4; dentakers, 7; chitches, 11,789; drug stores, 11; soda tanks, 14; hotels, 24; restaurants, 90; contractors, 14; millers, 48; dressers, 467; painters, 165; newspapers, 20; printing presses, 11. The league had many visitors from a distance. Two of them delivered addresses. The Rev. Dr. R. E. Jones, editor of *The Southwestern Christian Adolescente*, was one and Rosemary Conkling position is sufficient proof that his position was charged with wisdom and eloquence of speech. He is a favorite in the South and the welcome extended to him is potent. He reflected honor upon himself and the great church which he serves. The citizens of Meridian, both black and white, under the leadership of John W. Harris, Dr. E. E. Howard, president of the Meridian League and a physician of the highest standing, and Mr. J. W. longstreet gave the league a most cordial welcome and entertained it lavishly. Charles Banks, chosen for a year include Charles Banks, secretary; Perry W. Howard, vice secretary; E. H. McKissack treasurer, and Isaiah T. Montgomery, chairman of the executive committee. Mr. Howard, who is a brilliant and successful lawyer, has rendered the organization invaluable service and is the wheel horse of its annual meetings. Fifty delegates were elected to the Topeka meeting of the National League. Included in this delegation are Charles Banks, Isaiah T. Montgomery, Dr. E. W. Lampton, W. E. W. Johnson, S. S. Simmons, Dr. E. J. Jones, Dr. S. R. Redmond, I. W. Howard, Dr. E. H. Howard and John W. Straphey. Vickings was chosen as the meeting place for 1995. Three days after the Mississippi Negro Business League adorned Governor Vardaman and John Sharp Williams met at Meridian, in joint debate. Each abused the Negro and both swore their hatred of John; each dwell upon his vice and neither found in him any virtue whatsoever. But world from one of the leading men among white Mississippiians assures me that the old-time applause that greeted abuse of Negroes was silent on this memorial occasion; no unless nor projunctive punishment. In calling ours for the very week before that race, we cut off of which and the men of which now rolled upon the tongue of the demagogue, and met here and demonstrated its ability to measure to the spirit of the age and gave evidence of its fitness to be called first among the citizens of the State. The Business League had proven by some inexplicable fixing of inscrutable Fate both a boon and a mighty witness. ROSCOE CONKLING SIMMONS. Lumber Company Guild of Pensnoge, CHARLESTON, W. Va., July 12—In the Federal court here today the Ritter Lumber Company, of Meben, Wyoming County, pleaded guilty to charges of conspiracy to hold employees in penance. The indictment contained twenty counts, including one on each count being $1,000. Fined. The indictment followed an investigation by the National Government at the request of the Italian Ambassador to the United States. CHICAGO. July 15.—There has been developed in Chicago a new kind of race prejudice. This may not be a very accurate way of putting it, but it is so unusual, unexpected and interesting that it is worth noticing. In this instance the colored people are themselves guilty of the very thing that is the cause of most of our heartaches. Armour avenue in this city has for many years past been one of the principal streets in which colored people have been segregated. Many of them own homes in this street. Between 40th and 50th streets there could scarcely be found a white family. While many colored people during the last five years have been industriously purchasing finishes on the best avenues of the most exclusive resident districts, our Armour avenue friends who had comfortable and well-furnished houses, have been content to remain segregated and make the most of their own dwellings or homesteads. It was generally supposed that where our people lived in any considerable numbers, that would be the place that would no secure from the invasion of white homesteads. Also, there seems to be permanent security for us may dust when our thirty home be were enjoying themselves and thity in possession which owners here comps a board of Italian themselves into every available corner that they can either The Afro-Americans by towright had made th' avenue as very desi are using the sum of and statement of the "Negro intruder dents are say against the "a time, "They regard pertinence in shelling me where they are so indi their prope They regard an effort them, and much, who Smith of similar poenns.

The comin; in of these chattering Italian immigrants has depreciated values and made our people flee as from a pestilence. The passion of the hour is for good homes, clean streets and protection for children. It is not altogether a case of race prejudice on our part, but rather an organised protest against living amidst slovenly and sordid surroundings. Mr. A. H. Roberta, the Afro-American clerk of one of the municipal courts scored a visual triumph the other night at a banquet given by the Association of Court Clerks. Mr. Roberta was one of the speakers, on this occasion, and so great was the effect of his address that fellow clerks, who had also one of the speakers, paid him a well-deserved compliment, and held the Afro-American orator up as an example in character, ability and efficiency in court work. Dr. Rooker T. Washington spent a day in Chicago last week on his way to Macon, Ill., to address a Chauquillaquua Assembly. A large number of prominent people called upon him during his brief stay in this city. He spoke of the coming National Negro Business Association, Topека, predicting that it would be the most gathering in the history of the league.

RICHMOND, July 10—Race prejudiced Richmond has thrown, several "constitution fits" in the past ten days. And all of this fuss has been brought about by impudent street car conductors, who, in the main, are ignorant "poor white trash" fresh from the country, not out of their "teens," and who take delight in imposing upon both black and white in the operation of the Jim Crow street car laws. These conductors, who possess about as much brain as the paternal ancestor of "Her Name Is Maud," being clothed with police authority will sooner or later have the street car company involved in suits innumerable. Always impudent and insulting to Afro-American patrons, and with immunity because of conditions, that prevail in our police court, this insolence grows worse each day. Puffed up with their pride of "office" they cut such fantastic capers before the public as would make an angel swear. Some two weeks ago an Afro-American stranger in the city, not knowing ot the separate car laws, boarded a car. After he had ridden several blocks, he was ordered by the conductor to move. He refused; was' then placed under arrest, placed in a patrol wagon and then in a lockup house. In the dollar bill and costs ($11,00), because he did not move when ordered (not requested) by the conductor. But the climax was reached a day or two later, when James R. Gordon, one of Richmond's wealthy capitalists and foremost business men, was ordered to "move up," and upon failure to do so, and upon being informed it was safe that had the "green" conductor known that the man he had caused to be arrested was the president of Richmond's Chamber of Commerce, and who two years ago declined to stand for the mayorality of the city, after having been endowed by the business men of the city, he was soon with common reason would have gotten the better part of his ambition and Mr. Gordon would have been unmolested. Mr. Gordon allowed himself to be placed under arrest to test the validity of the "Jim Crow" street car law. The facts in the case are about as these: the business man with a friend named Pickerel, another staunch business man, boarded a car in the west-end. As both were smoking, they should have taken one of the two seats in the rear of the car provided for all smokers, whether white or black; but these seats we filled with Afro-American passengers. They were so with their seat of the rear, the seat provided. All Americans who are not smoking. W ordered to "move up" by the car he declined to do so as it tate the discontinuance of offered to move to the doctor would have one Afro-American passengers smoking to the doctor refused to act and as Mr. Moore was placed under Mr. Gordon, separation of took the A POLICEMAN __... __, FOR 25: YEARS onda Troube mR: a LEROY LOCKE Ye cGve Service as a . = ‘rust Ce.

Deputia, who came to America to attend the Freedman general assembly at a conference from the church in Liberia, Africa, and who has been the guest of Dr. and Dr. Spurgeon of 530 Cleveland street, Liberia, occupied Saturday on the Hamburg, American steamship line. Dr. Deputia was born in America 61 years ago in the State of Pennsylvania, but accompanied his parents to Manipur, Liberia, Africa, during the days of American slavery in 1853. He is the last of three brothers, all ministers. In speaking of the development and possibilities of Liberia he said: "We have no internal strife or revolutions such as Haytius has, but we must be careful. Each school has its military department supported by the government, where military tactics are taught. All boys of 16 years are compiled to drill and do duty for the country unless exempted on account of profession or otherwise until they are 50 "The constitution of Liberia was changed or amended for the first time since 1947 recently to make President Barclay president for a term of four years instead of two, in his third term of the presidency, which begins with his inauguration in January next, and which is the Second Period of six instead of four years and the Representatives four instead of two years. Our President is about 52 years of age and is a great scholar and lawyer. He is greatly loved by the people and was elected without opposition.

CAMBRIDGE, July 16.—Last Monday night the second anniversary of Dr. Snelson's postgraduate at St. Paul, A. M. E. Church was held. A bishop of Rhodes made a statement of the financial condition of the year, showing that over $5,800 had been raised in cash and that the mortgage debts had been reduced from $14,800 to $7,500 at present. A second mortgage of $2,500 had been canceled entirely and $500 paid on the first mortgage. Attorney H. N. Allin (white), representing the first mortgage, made a highly complimentary address. Attorney C. G. Morgan said he did not see how Cambridge could spare the services of Dr. Snelson and his estimable wife. A purse was presented Dr. Snellson by Mrs. W. W. Grubham, Mrs. M. Proctor, Mrs. Hattie Davis, Mrs. M. Proctor, kings, Mrs. Luzie Brown, Miss Kate Bonner, Mrs. Adriene Thomas and owed. The mayor of Cambridge, Hon. W. C.

Powhatan Bagnall of Ohio at night, when the holy sacrament was administered by Dr. Snelson for the last time. The church, despite the fact that the annual conference was so near, was in session at Charles Street Church, Boston, was crowded with admiring friends to bid Dr. Snelson farewell. Many petitions from St. Paul's Church, from the citizens and from lodges went to Bishop H. M. Turner for Dr. Snelson's return, but by the decision of several bishops Dr. Snelson was secured to be the superintendent of the A. M. E. church work in Bermuda and pastor of the Hamilton A. M. E. Church. His family will remain in Cambridge for a while, but will soon follow him his new job. Mr. W.

It is full all day at Nicepark Club Thursday, July TO the master of the law I ask: I am the master of the law. I think it my duty to write and let you know how very much I appreciate the improved condition of your journal. What I am saying not only indicates my own feelings, but those of many others with whom I have talked in Washington. There are many kinds of newspapers being published by the Negro people at this time in various parts of the country, but it is the consensus of opinion that none excels The Ake in wisdom and discussion and in the character of its news. The people of Washington are all the more pleased with The Ake because it does not yield to the temptation of becoming a cheap, sensational sheet. Clearly, sensation for a while, but in the long run the people patronize and believe in the paper, which discards sensational methods. While discussing newspapers it has often been a matter of surprise in Washington as to why the President and his cabinet officials permit a man who is serving as a clerk in one of these departments to be a correspondent of one of the most rabid and sensational Negro newspapers in the country. I refer to Mr. L. M. Hershaw, who holds a clerkship in the interior department under Secretary Garfield. It is well known here in Washington that Mr. Hershaw is the Washington correspondent of the colored newspaper in Boston, which is more abusive of the President and of the members of his cabinet than any other newspaper in the country. Not only is this Boston newspaper abusing practically all the members of the President's administration, but a letter sent to that paper from Washington in 1828, in which he saw no need for Taft and of the whole administrative policy. There are not a few citizens in Washington who are wondering how long these conditions will be permitted to last. It is presumed that the President and his advisers do not obstruct to persons differing from them on the subject, and that the administration will stand the abuse much longer from a clerk in a division of the interior department. Washington, July 15. S. S. H. Punishment of Gidon and Woodson of the Treasury. From The Washington Evening Star, (July 8.) The recent trouble between the white and colored, draughtsmans in the office of the supervising architect of the treasury, John W. Woodson, and Winthrop, who has directed the supervising architect to reprimand the two men considered guilty of bringing on the fight between H. D. Woodson, colored, and William P. Ryder, white. The verdict of the assistant secretary is that Woodson, although striking the first blow, was gouged on several of the apparent white keys. Then he then lied. I. G. Woodson, his gouging that caused Woodson to lose his temper and strike Ryder, who had taken little or no part in the affair, Woodson and Gideon will be reprimanded. As 66 Ryder, it is held by the assistant secretary that he did nothing more than defenselessly after he had been struck. Ryder is not, therefore, involved in the punishment. Mr. Winthrop said to day that the fight had been much exaggerated and did not amount to much. If the men reprimanded, he said, did not see fit to remain in the service they could do as they pleased. He thought that the relations between the white and colored draughtsmen would be better in the future. Flower Day In the Churches HARTFORD, July 10.—Sunday was set apart by the Zion concession as "Flower Day" and one to be used in collecting funds for Livingstone College.

Interesting Publication of the Lide and Work of the Famous Poet. A notable contribution to the literature of the race is the biography of Paul Laurence Dunbar, written by Lida Keck Wiggins. The work is full of interest and fascination for the reader, proving that the romance of fact is oftimes equal to that of fiction. The author refers briefly to the humble birth of Dunbar, his poverty and hard struggles to secure an education and to support himself and mother. As an elevator boy he wrote some of his most charming poems, which attracted the attention of James P. Miller. His poems are one of them wrote Dunbar a complimentary letter, which the poet always preserved as a previous relic. The biographer has given us in this work plenty of interesting incidents and anecdotes, showing the claims of the poet to fame. Among these are descriptions of his reception by prominent people in America and Europe, including a banquet given in his honor by the Savage Club of London, England, at which he was in attendance. In a letter he says, "America's greatest statement. There are also included in the volume personal letters of appreciation from such prominent persons as Mr. James Lone Allen, the Southern author; Mr. William Dean Howells, the widely known novelist. President. Theodore Roosevelt and others. The volume contains numerous original illustrations, which have been produced by the author. Half-tone drawings and photo-engravings. The volume contains besides the complete poetical works of Mr. Dunbar, some of his best short stories, together with an introduction by William Dean Howells. It is printed in clear type from new plates on high-grade paper and contains over 430 pages. There are three styles of binding, the most popular being the two-colour social design stamped in two-colour ink with a lily portrait, which retails at $1.75. The leaders of Tup.

The President of every week by The New York Amz Publishing Company, at 7 and 8 Chatham Square, President of the Company, T. Thomas Fortune, 7 and 8 Chatham Square, T. Thomas Fortune, 8, B. Peterton, 7 and 8 Chatham Square, in the Borough of Manhattan, New York. Mr. Fortune and the Council. Mr. Fortune and the Council. Bishop Alexander Walters, the president of the National Afro-American Council, is a real good man with a great big heart, but he is also as full of impulses as an egg is of meat. If he does not have a care he will allow his impulse to run away with him in the matter of Mr. Fortune's position toward the council. Bishop Walters' notion that Mr. Fortune wants to break up the council is all monsense; Mr. Fortune has simply decided not to have part and parcel in the council and in the active work of it in the future. In this decision he is not in cahoot with Dr. Booker Washington, as has been insinuated, or with anybody else, and he has no reason to believe that Dr. Washington has any other feelings than friendship toward the council, such as he has manifested for years. Anyway, no one need bother about mixing Mr. Fortune's decisions with decisions of Dr. Washington in such matters as the council, as Mr. Fortune does his own thinking and will always do it. Mr. Fortune believes in organization and the work of organization, and he regrets profoundly that the race at large does not care a rap about civic organization or the work of it. The council has his sympathy and will have his support when it deserves it. "Large Oaks from Little Acorns Grow" One of the chief drawbacks to the material well-being of the average Afro-American is that he does not think he can begin any sort of venture except on a large scale. If he is going to buy a home he waits until he has the cost price of the best sort of property, or of a modest one, but in nine cases out of ten he never gets the cost price together in a heap and dies paying rent; whereas, if he would pay down a few hundred dollars on a modest home as a starter what he pays in rent would go on payments on the property, into which he would ultimately come. It is the same in business ventures. To begin business at the bottom, by selling vegetables from a push cart or fish, fruit, and the like, or by beginning to have a shoe store from a cobbler's bench or a bootblacking stand—too many prefer to work for wages and wait until they have money in a lump large enough to begin business on a large scale, which they are seldom able to do, and offender fail than succeed when they do, because they have not sufficient experience in business methods to make for success. The man who starts any enterprise in a modest way gradually masters the details of the business and growth of it is a matter of time, patient industry and foresight. The first Vanderbilt began business as a fruit vendor; A. T. Stewart began in an equally small way; Jay Gould began as a modest country surveyor; most of the great business enterprises of the country, which are colossal to think of, were started in small beginnings. The founders of them had but little capital and experience, but in starting in a small way capital and experience came with the growth of the business. Afro-Americans have to begin as others. We have an illustration in point. Mr. Tulane, of Montgomery, Ala., who has just been in New York purchasing stock, has in a very short time built up a large grocery business, but he began in a small way. His capital and experience grew with the growth of his business. There are lots of others who have achieved or are achieving success in the same way. There should be, more of them. The Business League has done much to popularize this idea, as in the beginning of its work most of its members were engaged in small enterprises. Now, what is true of Afro-Americans in the neglect to buy homes and begin business enterprises on small capital and experience is time of the farm people in the same way. To many of them wait until they have a bank account big enough to purchase a building before undertaking to do so, when they could easily buy a small average, which cultivated widely and to the limit, will pay better than a big average poorly cultivated. The peasantry of Europe have had this ground into them by centuries of experience, and so have the Asiatics—it being highly probable that a Japanese, a Chinaman or a Hollander can produce more on a small average than any other people on earth. Almost any Afro-American in the Southern State can purchase a tenacre plot of land, which, it properly diversified as to small crops and cultivated to the limit, with the by-products which should go along with every farm—poultry, hogs, cows, small fruits—should be sufficient for any family and if there be a good city marble in easy reach the farmer should be able to support his family in comfort and in a short time add appreciably to his赘age. But most of the Afro-Americans have big ideas, and wait until they can have money enough to buy a big farm, with the result that they never get the money and they never get the farm. Sometimes they manage to get a big farm, but not having the money to properly stock it and buy the necessary labor-saving implements of the farm, nor to hire sufficient labor, they fail to make a success of it and run in debt instead of accumulating something. Big ideas are all right; if one has the experience and the money to back them up; but they have been the cause of the failure of more people in all the avenues of industry and business than any other one thing. The man who begins with a small capital and big determination will find his capital and experience grow strong together, so that the expansion of his enterprise will come along as a matter of course. Try it, and see how it will work. War with Japan? The newspaper efforts to provoke a war between Japan and the United States have been greatly aided by the order of the President that the entire battleship fleet shall proceed to the Pacific Ocean. To put the order into operation would be a menace, if not a declaration of war. The Japanese are in the right in demanding that Japanese subjects in the United States shall have all of the rights that they are entitled to as "a most favored nation" and which are not denied or abridged in the case of any European nation; they are right in standing up for the right of Japanese to be naturalized and to enter the United States under the immigration laws the same as Europeans. The discrimination against them in all of these matters is simply "on account of race and color," and they cannot afford to stand for that without great loss of prestige and honor. If the people of the United States want to have war because of their prejudice against race and color some time in the future they will get what they want. American commerce can make no headway in Asia as long as prejudice against race and color is made by them the criterion of worth. Civic Organizati:n Needed In New York. We need a civic organization in New York that will be a civic organization in fact as well as in name. It is high time that the thoughtful men and women of the race here awake to this fact, which we have urged upon their attention and consideration for a quarter of a century. Our civic interests are absolutely at the mercy of any person or interest which cares to take advantage of us. No other race in the great city is so deficient as ours in civic virtue and organization. The Italians, Japanese, Chinese, and what not, all have organizations backed with civic pride to protect the interests they have and to promote other interests they want. They are represented in one sort and another in all of the civic movements and life of New York City; while the Afro-American is represented in none of it. We have social, secret, beneficial, fraternal and religious organizations galeore to promote the lighter and gayer side of life, to care for the sick and bury the dead and to lay up enough treasure in heaven to keep us out of hell, but as to the matters of citizenship and civic well doing, upon which all of the others depend, we are as naked of preparation as a new born baby. It is scandalous; it is criminal Southern "Qualities, Conjunctions and Standards." A writer in the current number of The South Atlantic, Quarterly, speaking of Thomas Nelson Page and his works, says, among other things: "The one essay here included in his appeal for a history of the Southern people, a history needed not more because of the unique traits of this people in the former comparative isolation of their National life than because of the fact, pressing itself upon the attention of the statesmen, churchmen and men of affairs, that the conservative South has preserved certain qualities, convictions and standards that may in turn have to preserve this Union." It is a pity that the writer, Proof Charles W. Kent, did not take the trouble to explain the exact character of these "qualities, convictions and standards," potential to "preserve this Union" from anything that is ignoble and dishonorable. The greatness of this Union is not limited upon the ignorance and provincialism of the white masses of the South, and its inflated, bombastic aristocracy, equally as provincial and a shade less ignorant than its former white slave holding few, who have transmitted to their posterity the worst elements of their character, nor to the few whites who have raided the Southern States as an oligarchy, since the recovery of power by them in the Reconstruction period by bloody violence, in which not one element of conservation was present, and which they have maintained by fraud and makeshift clearly radical if not revolutionary, and in positive violation of the letter and spirit of the War documents to the Federal Constitution, this Union has not been pre- THE NEW YORK AGE: THURSDAY JULY 18, 1907. by the conservation which since the days of Reconstruction has marked the history of the white South and its alleged statesmen in opposition to every economic, financial and foreign policy, endorsed, by the remainder of the people of the Republic, and which has placed the country abreast of the strongest in the earth in wealth and power. In war and in peace the white South has been a curse to this Union, contributing precious little to its wealth and power or its domestic peace. Its "qualities, convictions and standards" have not been conservative in any sense, but radical in the extreme, and entirely un-American. The forces of head and heart which have made this Republic what it is came out of New England Puritanism, and if it is to be saved from destruction of the form of government bequeathed us by the Revolutionary Fathers, by Southern oligarchism and Western anarchism, planted in the National blood by non-English immigrants, it will be New England Puritanism or the ideas of Federal republicanism and human liberty which it has scattered broadcast over the land through its educational institutions and the migrations of its sons and daughters. The writer is a Southerner by birth and a Northerner by education, but he is constantly astonished at the self-complacency and erroneous viewpoint of the white Southerners, whose boundless egotism and inability to "see themselves as others see them" is enough to confuse gods and little fishes. Traitors and Patriots Now Look Allie. The new Governor of Georgia was inaugurated the other day and the marshal of the occasion wore the "rebel uniform." while the inaugural address of Hoke Smith was full of "rebelisms" of the stinkest sort. Nearly everything that the war was fought for, except the preservation of the union of the states, has been recovered by the party which got whipped. The North and West have forgiven, and strive hard to forget that the South rushed into the war and was rushed out, costing the country infinite loss in lives and wealth, and all this when the South has forgotten and forgiven nothing. The State of South Carolina will place a statue of John C. Calhoun in the capitol at Washington. The New York Evening Mail has this to say about it: "The more the South Carolina venerates and honors Calhoun, the more apparent do they make it that the opposite idea to his own has triumphed. He was a man of very great interest and that integrity and public spirit. There is no irritation, for why any one should object to the erection of his statue in the capitol. That is to say, the more a person loves and commemorates the object he has lost the gladder he is that he has lost it! And Southern white men are constantly protesting that they are glad that they lost in the war, but, just the same, they keep on commemorating the Lost Cause and venerating the memory of the leaders of it and undermining the principles of the War Amendments, which are the only visible and tangible results of the war. The Ernesta Mail says that there is no earthly reason why any one should object to the placing of the statue of Calboun in the capital. No man did more than Calboun to make the sentiment that made the War of the Rebellion inevitable. It has become fashionable from the White House to the gutter to land the treason of the white South and to ignore the patriotism of the black South. But if it is good to put a statue of John C. Calboun in the capitol, why should any one object to placing in there one of Jefferson Davis? Why not give all of the leaders of the Southern Rebellion a place in the capitol? Arc Separate Car Laws Constitutional? The Interstate Commerce Commission has handed down a decision on the separate car laws of the Southern States which upholds the right of a State to compel such separation, provided the accommodations furnished are equal, a condition contained in all of the separation laws of the Southern States which is universally disregarded or ignored, and was intended by the law makers that it should be. Now, the Southern railroad, will not furnish a full day coach and a smoker for Afro-Americans, and the Interstate Commerce Commission cannot make them do it; and those roads are not going to furnish a chair or sleeping car with dining and observation cars for black as they do for white travelers, and the Interstate Commerce Commission cannot make them do it. It is a piece of gratuitous insistence for The Network (N. J.) Evening News to declare that the decision will be acceptable to the Afro-American people, as it meets all of the objections to the "Jim Crow" car. It does nothing of the sort; it emphasizes all of the objections to such laws which have been urged ever since, out of a spirit of infinite and damnable dhobism, they were forced upon a section of the citizenship which was powerless to protect itself. We would like to take a look at the black victim who would declare, honestly, that he is satisfied with the separate car laws, with or without equal accommodations. Nobody asked The Network Evening News to be spokesman for the Afro-American people in this business, and it certainly has not done so, however much it may think that it has. We do not care a rap for the decisions of the Federal Supreme Court on the separation laws; its decisions on all questions affecting the rights of Afro-Americans, as slaves and as freemen, have always been putridly frowned; some of them have been reversed, and all of them will be reversed, because the principle involved is at variance with the letter and spirit of the Federal Constitution. What would be considered of the wisdom of the court if it should declare valid a law separating red-headed citizens from black or white-headed ones, or Jews from the rest of the races of the citizenship, or Irishmen, or Englishmen, or Germans? There would be as much equity and reason in such a law as there is in separating races on account of color. The separation laws of States because of color are an infamous and degrading stigma, and were intended to be such; they not only violate the principle of equality of citizenship, without which citizenship is not worth having, but they violate the law of contract, without which no man is secure in his life or property. The decision of the Interstate-Commerce Commission is bad in law and worse than bad in equity. A decision that a railroad shall not transport oats and wheat, or mutton and beef, or meal and potatoes in the same car, but in separate cars exactly alike, would be equally unjust, outrageous and burdensome upon shippers and railroads, with the reservation that these inanimate objects of transportation would not feel the stigma of the forced segregation. The editor of THE AGE has received a letter from Bishop Walters of the Afro-American Council, stating that the newspaper reports that Dr. Booker T. Washington was criticized during the sessions of the Afro-American Council, were untrue and without foundation. Bishop Walters status that there was no criticism whatever of Dr. Washington: Do not forget the annual meeting of the National Negro Business League, at Topeka, the last of August. We are bound to note with more or less interest the strentuous efforts of The North American Review, Harper's Weekly and The New York Sun, all controlled by the same capitalists, to popularize the idea that the time has arrived when there would be no objection to the candidacy of a Southern man for the Presidency. So far these publications have passed in review the availability of Senator John W. Daniels of Virginia, former Senator Edward W. Carmack of Tennessee and Senator Charles A. Culbertson of Texas. Before the finish we suppose the claims of Senator Tillman of South Carolina, Governor Vardman of Mississippi and Senator Jeff. Davis of Arkansas, who also be presented. Surly this latter trinity is more representative of up-to-date Southern Democratic deprivacy than the former, who being in the catalogue of amachronisms, have some of the elements of respectability and statesmanship in them, elements which are no longer popular with Southern Democratic constituencies, which stink to heaven for fumigation. Let the National Democratic bag fetch on a Southern candidate for the Presidency, and it will learn a lot of things. The complete list of American Rhodes scholarship applicants who will go to Oxford this summer has been given out by Farmham P. Griffiths, secretary to President Benjamin Ide Wheeler of the University of California; Mr. Griffiths is the Rhodes scholar chosen to represent California this year. There are forty-five American sights six from Canada in the list. The men from American States number twenty-two, of whom nine are credited to the Southern States, three to the Western States and the remainder to the Middle and New England States. The large number credited to the Southern States and the small number to the Western States is equally surprising. Alain L. Leake of Pennsylvania is the only American in the box, and this is also surprising; there should be more of them, and there would have been, we believe, if more of them had entered the examinations. In the future there should be a larger number of them to try for these extraordinary prizes. A course at Oxford should be of more benefit to the Southern students than to any others, as they need the broad view which comes of study and travel in foreign countries more than any other sort of Americans. The men who have the best preparation for the work they undertake to do will get the highest wages and the steadiest employment. It is the same with traces. Industrial preparedness is the first requisite of success. There is not a skilled industry for which there are not training schools of one sort and another. Even the bootblocks have a training school for whites. And it takes an artist to polish a pair of shoes as they should be. And the white barbers have a school, and the cooks every department of industry requiring a measure of skill has a school to prepare the whites for it. We cannot expect to succeed unless we also have as much technical knowledge of the particular work we wish to do as others, with whom we shall necessarily have to compete. Danger of a Drive in Africa. Known the Givele Times It is happily not often that we have to record an attack from lions on our favorite dogs around the kopep, but while Dr. Mishrafid was driving around, new lions appeared. After an afternoon in large lioness spring out of the bushes and made direct for the terrified horses, which started off at full gallop with the lioness in hot pursuit, they were able to find an unattainable distance, but happily did not come near enough to make a spring. The doctor, who was unarmed at the time, was glad to get safely back to town with Mrs. Spright, several men went out on Friday in search of the animal, but without GREAT BAH. HAHA!

THE COCAINE CRIME AND HABIT Dr. Higgins Does Not Believe the Use of It in General Among Southern Negroes—Some Use of It in Large Cities—Effects of Coronavirus on the System. To the Editor of The New York Age: In reply to the appeal of the Editor of The Age for expressions from medical technicians in the United States, I would say, in answer to the article from the New Orleans correspondent on "Cocaine and Southern Crime," that his argument is extravagant. He says the "cocaine hypothesis is gaining force," perhaps, in his imagination, it is, but the actual facts in the case do not bear out his contentions. From South and elsewhere on conditions of South and elsewhere on conditions of bourne sociologists and unbiased physicians and pharmacists, and also from actual observation and perusal, but also a medical physician's account of North Carolina, where hundreds of Afro-Americans are employed in this industry. I have yet to note one case either from reading medical literature or my own research, which is authored by this New Orleans correspondent. I regret to mention, however, that I cannot say as much for some of our people in the larger cities, for I commend the Army at Long Island Medical Hospital doing post graduate work. I had the opportunity in the clinics and dispensaries to see a number of cases of both sexes among white and blacks who were treated with the use of cremeine and morphine. I was also told by a reliable colored pharmacist employed in a large apothecary shop on Eighth avenue, that he sold from two to five pounds of cremeine every night to coloren oen and women. These statements being absolute facts constrain me to disagree with the cremeine hypothesis on animals. It is not, in my opinion, the cause of the alleged diabolical crimes perpetrated by criminals of any race. The physiological effect of cremeine on animals must wild animal; on the contrary it acts on the reflex spinal centers and the cerebroum, causing a sense of cold and well being; it lessens the sense of fatigue and hunger, and in finally deep sleep. I agree with the editor that the South is seeking an excuse for the villainous violations of the law against the person and property rights of the Negro. W. H. HIGGINS, M. D.

This report discloses the remunerable for convicts in the State penitentiary, or more than 50 per cent, are serving terms of varying length for homicides or for attempt to take human life. In 955 of these cases human life was actually taken, and 420 of these convicts are serving terms of longer than 58, and for manslaughter of 192 murders and 21 for manslaughter, in the penitentiary.

BISHOP TURNER AND THE FLAG American Spectator says Intemperate Utternames Hurt the Race and Insists That Our Men of Reputation Think Before They Speak—Effect End in the North. I quote extract from an address which Hidian Turner said he had made at his conference which was held in Brooklyn a few days ago. "I used to love the American flag once, but I now despise it. because America is the most horrible color prejudice nation of earth. Here Negroes can be lynched, burned alive and skinned and nothing is more important that must get up and dove to Africa and I will never admiring the Negroes to leave a country that is saturated with prejudice." If these extracts are correct I have no hesitation in saying that such utterances are not calculated to assemble any people to do what I am to do. Bishop Turner belongs and of which he is the senior bishop. Of course, most of the people of our race understand Bishop Henry M. Turner and do not take him as people do not understand the bishop and do take him and his utterness seriously. For this reason such rabid utterances as those I here quote make the way hard for the preachers in the bishops church. I understand that the bishop is in a position where he does not feel the financial pinch, but he should bear in mind that he must support him, and the masses of the people have to get the money to support the ministers. The bishop, then, should hesitate before he says or does anything that would be a way hard for the masses of his people. I notice that Rev. W. H. Heard, D. P. is proud as saying something in line with what is attributed to Bishop Turner. In this connection, however, I cannot overlook the fact that Dr. Heard was in his pines pled by the American government, but, it seems, he did not like that country well enough to remain there. Now, if the bishop wants to go to Africa or leave this country let him do so and if Dr. Heard wants to migrate to another land he will go to Africa and will go to Africa themselves they assimilate no good by stirring up our people in the direction indicated. The breach between the races here in the North is wide enough and the feeling is tense enough. Absolutely no good is assimilated when men like Bishop Turner come to America and are quoted and which can assimilate no good for our race. The time has come when the members of the race, and especially officers of the A. M. E. Church of America, should拜 Riship, Turner know in no uncertain terms that he is doing the rare real harm to the race. The fact that we have found that there is barely a bishop in the A. M. E. Church who does not condemn his utterances. The trouble is that they have been rarely in reprimanding the bishop in a way that he deserves. It was such foolish talk as this that the bishop's reconstitution was insisted in the order of Negro in the South and made the white man take from him practically all political power. During those times there were a number of colored people who were desiions of being known as "soungers" and "big Negroes who thought they were white." Negroes was to be continually condemning the white people for all he was worth. If such remarks as those ascribed to Bishop Turner continue to be made in the North the time will soon come when the Negroes in the North will be no better than those in the South, and for some reason Bishop Turner and others that those of us who live in the North do not propose to have our condition disturbed by people who do not live among us and who come here only for a season and know nothing of the situation, we are greatly surprised that he did not hear anything from Bishop Turner in Atlanta, where he resides, during the riots there last September. Notwithstanding the bishop was right in the vicinity where the riot took place, for two months he would have been courageous and brave in the courage that he would make us believe he possesses while in the North he should have manifested some of this courage in the city of Atlanta. The bishop, like a good many others, wants until he gets a chance to talk to the people before taking. We are simply writing to say that we in the North must protect ourselves from the harm that such men as Bishop Turner try to do, and in doing so every minister of the A.M.E. Church, well as its minister of harm is being done to the church and to our people through out the North by such utterances as Bishop Turner has given voice to. At a recent meeting of the trustees of the Puskegee Normal and Industrial Institute, held in New York, arrangements to be made for a reopening is to be reopen upon a strictly cash basis hereafter; that is, cleaning up and paying all bills of every character at the end of each month. This is a long step in addition to the work in running an educational institution. NOTE AND COMMENT OF INTEREST Mr. Hiram S. Thomas, who died at his home on the Rumson Road, near Red Bank, N. J., last week, was one of the best known hotel men of the country. He began hotel life at the bottom, working all the way from a side waiter on lake steamers to the management of vast hotel interests of A. T. Stewart and others, and then as a proprietor. When he died he was proprietor of the Rumson Inu, one of the most fashionable houses of its kind in New Jersey; but during the past two years he has been unable to attend to his affairs, and the management has devolved on a young son and two daughters, who have brought to their task much of the skill displayed by their father, and they will doubtless continue the business. Mr. Thomas was a man of great intelligence. He had come in contact with, many of the famous men of the past thirty years, and his conversation was wontillant with witty sayings, happy jests and anecdotes. As a host he was all that could be desired. The fine art of entertaining was his in largest measure. * Mr. Gillespie R. Anderson, who was recently killed by a Pennsylvania Railroad train, was for twenty years a porter on the Congressional limited. He was a man of splendid character and held in the highest esteem by all who knew him. The writer first met him at Washington, in 1867. He was at a time a messenger in the Treasury and a stockholder in the Ent lishing Company, of which it is employed. Convention Meets at Perkin Theatre, August 27 Steward Losses 992,000 Damage Cause—Important Preclamation Concerning Elks Convention Brooklyn Lodge, No. 32, has paid her Grand Lodge taxes and her delegated have received their credentials and are now eligible to receive the Grand Lodge degree of Cervus Canadensis. July 11, Manhattan Lodge held its second monthly meeting, and considerable important business was transacted. The sick committee reported the following Antlers on the sick list: State Deputy Sandy P. Jones, 6 West 134th street; Emmitt R. Loffer, George R. Hayes and Henry J. Tankard, Bellevue Hospital, ward 15. Necessary sick benefits were ordered paid through the chairman of the sick committee. The finance committee reported on the stability of the lodge and also reported that they found the accounts of the increased treasurer correct. Applicants of six gentlemen received and favorably acted upon and the seventh reported unfavorable. The Grand Lodge taxes for the third order were ordered paid to the grand secretary. On receipt of this quarterly tax Manhattan delegates will be eligible to receive the Grand Lodge degree. The dr. bureau committee chairmen of the dr. bureau committee read for approval the revised by-laws of No. 45, which were approved by articles and sections, and approved printed after ensuring sufficient estimates. The August number of The Colored American Magazine will contain an article titled "Elkdom Locally and Otherwise." Not as a literary digest, however, but a full and free discussion of the Elks' events periodically. Mrs. W. Preston Moore will represent Tux New York Aug. and Columbia Magazine in New York. Copies of each will be sold at the Perkin Theatre. We desire that the secretaries of subordinate lodges furnish the writer with Elks notes of interest; our office is 453 Hudson avenue, Brooklyn, N.

Even though I have been in constant contact with the Trunk Ink and the Central Passenger Association since early in February I have been unable to arrange satisfactory rates for our convention. My Central Passenger Territory, has recently advised me that the fares in the registry of the Central Passenger Association. on for tasks which are contingent in several states to a basis that is practically the equivalent of fares authorized in previous years for convention gatherings to grant any concession from normal fares currently in effect. This is a matter we very much regret, and in reply to a letter that our application would be reimbursed at their approaching meeting with a view of reconsidering their former decision if it is possible to do so will promptly be communicated to all of our lodges. Members of the order who are familiar with the recent legislative enactments regulating fare attitudes of the lines regarding this matter. Unless some concession is given us between now and the time for the full round trip fare to Chicago and In my opinion the importance of our own approaching meeting is such that every lodge should be able, and it will be a fitting and graceful act on the part of all of our lodges to do everything in their power one that shall never offer a credit to the order everywhere.

Several weeks ago B. F. Howard, the deposed grand exalted ruler who now suffers the death of his father, against Dr. Atkins, grand exalted ruler, in the United States Courts in Norfolk, Va., claiming that he had infringed upon his (Howard) rights by using their (his) copyrighted he-laws and constitution. Dr. Atkins was 262 when the answer of Dr. Atkins was filed by his attorneys, Messrs. N. J. Dudley and S. G. Cumming, it was shown conclusively that Howard had never had his "by-laws copyrighted until after his death." Howard immediately determined to withdraw his action for damages. It is said by reliable sources that it will not be very long before Howard will be entirely without a reasonable following in his so-called grand lodge. The lodge has its own meeting throughout the country, as it is thought it will finally lead to the R. P. O. E. and the L. R. P. O. E. taking actions against Howard for using their rituals and pins. Howard is cordially invited to put aside the "bitchet of war" and make application to the grand lodge for reaffiliation and peace. Come! Look this way. We feel that our great fraternity has entered upon a still greater career of usefulness, and we ask the co-operation of friends everywhere. Pass this newspaper to a friend who will read it. It will be a great help to the Elks right in the future. Send us names of prospective subscribers and members. Snook of the virtues of the tribes. If they are not reading this paper, cause them to do so. Young men, this fraternity presents a rare opportunity for worthy and ambition men to meet and enjoy fellowship. William E. Arkins Hampton, Va., for vicinaries of information. Concerning the reference to the prospective actions of the white Elks in Philadelphia by Mr. J. H. Gray, in Tux Air of July 11, we are personally of the opinion that those paragraphs contain a good deal of information concerning which there is a distinction between which parishes they will not be seriously misunderstood by the well meaning; that those who are instinctively opposed to our work will not approve of any sympathetic statement concerning the fraternity whether our efforts and aims are clearly defined or not, and that such criticisms may be directed against us, as we are being publicly, being usually able to distinguish between the language of self-advertisement and the language of natural appreciation, will value what is obviously but an intimate and sympathetic statement of our principles. We wish to say most unreservedly however that relative Elks in Philadelphia regarding our branch of the fraternity, our incorporate charter grants us the undeniable privilege of instituting lodges in every State in the Union, and that one State cannot undo the set of another, and furthermore, one State must respect the legal decisions and laws of another. Our legal status to wear clothes must be ablided by the white Elks under the supreme laws of the United States. Two white men in Powellah, Idaho, recently killed 1,000 elk for the much-boosted white organization. Both were arrested and final. These men, it is understood, were paid something like $10,000 for the teeth to use as ornaments and insignia. The approaching convention would do well to advise their clan to discontinue the use of emblems that involve not only a violation of law but an outrage against public sentiment. One of the men arrested had a bag containing 275 elk teeth, and it is said that he had recently sold as many more. If a tribe of the energy displayed in endowing to prevent us from our legal privileges was exerted in improving and elevating the energy factor in the entire country, than a tribe of desist, infidelity, intrigue and amusement intensified. Our clan are true blue and dispensers of charity, justice, bravery love and fidelity. The real knights of Elkdom in reality. Our purpose is not to paint a lily picture, but to draw a lesson, enforce an obligation of propriety, and voice an appeal of justice to every man under the clan.

Real Estate WEST NEW BRIGHTON is the most exclusive residential section of Staten Island, commanding an excellent view of New York Bay and the surrounding country. West New Brighton is just thirty-five minutes from the Battery via the new Municipal $3,000,000 Ferry. Trolleys pass this property. Besides this, the property is well situated, nice high grounds, good drainage, and has all the improvements, such as sewer, water, gas, electric lights, macadamized streets, excellent schools, churches of all denominations, and social life not to be found in the city, where one does not know his neighbor across the hall. This is a very desirable place for residence on account of its accessibility and its surroundings. Considering its nearness to the Borough of Manhattan, it is perhaps a surprising statement that the climate of Staten Island is radically different from that of Manhattan. The air is possessed of invigorating properties, the effect of which is felt in the first hour. The explanation is not far to seek. The ocean and the beautiful hills of Staten Island perform their allotted tasks. Here instead of bricks and mortar, radiating at night their accumulated heat of the day, the trees and shrubs and well-kept lawns send forth their cool fragrance as a tonic to the tired nerve. New York has all the population it can hold, rentals have increased out of all proportion to the accommodations furnished, and the flat dweller has been compelled to turn to outside territory to secure a suitable home. Hence all suburban localities have been benefited by Manhattan's prosperity, but none to such a remarkable extent, nor with such infinite possibilities as Staten Island. Remember there are only 232 of these lots, and we are selling them for $250 to $500 each, which does not represent a half of their real value.

WASHINGTON POOR PEOPLE Settlement Work Begun to Better Their Condition SUMMER OUTING CAMP For Mothers and Little Ones—Better Homes and Milk—Prominent People Interested. WASHINGTON, July 12—The late Album W. Toughe, who was quick in discerning political tendencies and governmental evils and ready in describing them by simple and forceful aphorisms, once said, "ignorance and neglect are the mainsprings of misrule." Many circumstances and conditions incident to urban life are turning attention to urban poverty and politics to that of poverty. After years of agitation and struggle the government of American cities has witnessed notable improvement, and reformers and good citizens generally, while not anticipating Utopian conditions in this very human business, are nevertheless becoming measured. But the fact of poverty and its attendant evils stares wretchedly in these crowded haunts of men and presses with increasing significance with every event. "ignorance and neglect" in a large measure constitute "the mainsprings" of the problems whose cause is of not so much concern as its cure. "The poor always ye have with you" is but an instance of Divine recognition of the frailties of the human species and the Divine pity for the victim of poverty is the inspiration of the human efforts and agenesis which are seeking along various practical lines to alleviate their condition. It is not the condition simply which produces dread. Under simple conditions of life, bovent poverty in not only the living but the charitable may be comfort. But in the crowded, clashing and complex life of your modern city, poverty creates a great and grim social problem, what John Spargo calls the "hideous phantasmagoria of hunger, disease, crime, and despair." Philanthropy, genius, organisation plain and earnest men and women are seriously and systematically striving to lift the great substratum of the city's denizens to a higher plane of civic and economic life; not the substratum only, but all whom grinding toil, greed, misfortune and environment are handcapped. The problem varies by State and Federal government, and laws have been paved and investigations instituted for the promotion especially of the social and vital efficiency of women and children. The problem varies in acuteness for different cities, owing to the size and complexity of population and industrial conditions; but in all cities it is sufficiently important and serious to comprehend the useful and the practical and sympathetic efforts of earnest men and women. In the District of Columbia the efforts for social betterment by Afro-Americans have been greatly stimulated and redoubled. The usual, Christian, educational, moral, social and economic agencies which have operated here are elsewhere to the uplift of the people are quietly and effectively concerned and noteworthy agencies and movements have been organized in recent years, some of which are attacking in a humble, slow but determined way new problems. How many, how serious and how in creasing these problems, relating to social betterment at the National capital, are, may be easily understood from the size of the Negro population of Washington. Washington has the largest Afro-American population of any city in the world. According to the latest police census it approximates 100,000. The census of 1902 gave it 702. The police even carries it beyond the 90,000 mark. Washington, of course, includes the District of Columbia. Without detriment to other cities which have a large and growing Negro population, the Afro-Americans of Washington are comparatively the most intelligent, the most prosperous, the most cultured and the best bird of any city in the world. Whatever their shortcomings, they are not within the forgoing category. It is a large population and has the usually attending problems and drawbacks. However, the very large part of it and this fact together with others facts suggest many problems and opportunities, or rather needs for unplifting influences. The health and mortality record for the District of Columbia, for the week ending July 1, were as follows: 115,000 reported. 52; white; 63; rate per 1,000 per annum, white; 14; colored; 28.1. Deaths under two years of age, 19, of which 14 are colored. The births "reported" were 117 of which 81 were white and 36 colored. It is a record of but one week, a work which had 65 deaths less than the corresponding week of last year, yet it tells a sad and simple tale. The infantile mortality suggests the extent of poverty. A similar record from the book of crime was that of the table of despair there is no record! The problem here arising is traceable to unsanitary dwellings and unwholesome food, as well as to ignorance and neglect, and these causes are being vigorously assailed by law and private endeavor. A recent law of Congress promises radical reform of the people, and the milk industry, which is being municipalized, whereby clean, wholesome milk will be assured. The Afro-Americans of this city have instituted two movements to assist this work of legal reform and to counteract the evils of ignorance and neglect among those whom the ordinary agencies of upstate government fail to reach directly. The first is the Council, an outgrowth of the first, is an Outing Camp for mothers and children. The 'Colored Social Settlement, located in south-western Washington, was established in 1802, and represents one of about two of its kind throughout the country. Many of Washington's most prominent citizens, earnest students of social conditions, are among its promoters. It has been incorporated and the management in the department consisting of Rev. Francis J. Grimke Rev. J. Fordred, Mrs. Anna J. Cooper, Mrs. Bettie G. Francis, Mrs. S. E. Fernadis, Mrs. Eugenia W. Weller, Mrs. Mary Church Terrell, Mr. H. E. Williams, Prof. Roscoe C. Bruce, Prof. A. U. Craig, Prof. Jas. E. Walker, Mr. Samuel Middleton, Miss Sara W. Brown and Mr. Charles F. Weller. Its plans and purposes, as set forth in the articles of incorporation are, to conduct a social settlement and social center, including clubs and classes, education, industrial work, etc.; to foster mutual help and cooperation among the colored people to investigate industrial conditions and social problems, and to promote individual, neighborhood and municipal improvement. Besides a large band of voluntary workers who help to conduct the work, the settlement has a "resident worker" who lives at the settlement house and ministers to the many needs of the neighborhood. Since its establishment Mrs. Sarah C. Furnandi, a Hampton graduate and a faithful missionary, has beg the residing yanker. She has been moderately successful in organizing various settlement activities; clubs for boys and girls; a day nursery, where working mothers have their babies from six o'clock; the morning until evening; industrial clothing; school classes for girls; mothers' meetings and mothers' sweeping classes. Still another important activity of the bureau is what may be regarded as a bureau of provident savings deposits under the stamp—collecting system instituted by the postal Office. This gives direct to the postmaster a written year ending December 31, 1906, 400 savers and 41,138,787 represent the work of this bureau. Perhaps no reform of more extensive ramifications can be inaugurated to benefit the poor than the establishment of a savings self-contract in spending, and the ability to desire to a larger future good. This is attempted in the stamp deposit savings, and involving as it does weekly house to house visits by the resent worker and a call a score or more of volunteer collectors, practically and beneficial contact with all the families of the locality. This social settlement endeavor spread out of the Conference Class of the Associated Charities instituted by Mr. Charles F. Weller, secretary of the Associated Charities, a man of wonderfully large hands and a rare devotion: to the work of social uplift. Coming here from Chicago, where Miss Janet made the Hull House experiment a far-reaching social benediction, Mr. Weller became impressed with the need of a neighborhood work in the byways and hedges of Washington's alley and court population. In the Conference Class co-organized by women gathered to study and discuss "women and under the inspiration of their real practical guidance two social settlement endeavors were evolved. His idea that a social settlement "is not a charity," that it "does not offer alms, but opportunities; not a means of patronage or condemnation; not a level-bridge between different: people have has taken a strong hold upon all large groups of diligent and serious-minded men and women of all walks and occupations. Besides the regular staff of managers, there are something like one hundred volunteer helpers, the most of whom are school teachers who are with varying degrees helping to the purpose of the effort. Neighborhood groups are held at the homes of the workers and auxiliary branches are being formed to help support the work. An impressive demonstration of the beneficial influence of this settlement work was witnessed at the recent closing of the Mothers' Sewing Club. Representatives of allied clubs forming the London-Han Industrial League were present, representing the Ancestors Women's Club, the Colored Young Women's Christian Association, St. Monica's Guild and others. Among the women present who are promoting this feature of the work were: Mrs. William T. Verger, A. J. Cooper, Mrs. Agnes Smallwood, Mrs. Rose Coleman; Mrs. Benjamin Davis, Mrs. Caroline Jackson and Miss Emma V. Smith. An exhibition of needlework was given and Madam Smallwood gave a demonstration in skirt cutting and fitting. In discussing the aim and plans of the work, Mrs. Cooper said: "By buying our material in bulk and in the cheapest benefit of the best discount on goods as well as the highest efficiency of material. By securing sensible models and cultivating a taste for the becoming, we should be able to raise the standard of dress and personal improvement. These benefits, together with the inevitable sympathy and helpfulness of our neighborly interest and the love of one another cannot but radiate from the industry and aspiration in a quickening of social impulse and a betterment of the community life." Such is the work being done and contemplated by an organization which present has its headquarters in a humble two-story house located in one of the most sections of this city. About eight miles from the situation upon an eminence overlooking the stately buildings of the Capital, is another Surrounding it are extensive grounds covered with forests, fields of daisies and soft grass, and about it blow cooling browns bearing the healthful odor of pines. This is the place of the Outing for the poor mothers and children of the poor city. Here tents have been raised, swings have been hung, clean and inviting cots have been built and an abundance of good fresh food has been stored; and thither will go for the next six weeks a weekly-average-of twenty mothers and children to recuperate and to enjoy what is denied them in the city. The first interview hand left on July 11. It was an interview to watch them as they were assembled start. They were not happy nor were they hurt. They simply did not understand what was being done to brighten and prolong their lives. They will understand and bless the men and women who are doing these things for them. J. L. LOVE. Funeral of Hiram N. Thomas Female services were held over the remains of Hiram S. H. Philip's P. E. church, West 25th street on Thursday, July 11, at noon. Rev. Edward W. Daniel, the curate, officiated at the church and Rev. Hutchens C. Bishop, the rector, performed the committee, the express Hills cemetery, where the remains of Colonel in the family plot. A large number of friends and friends attended the service and the floral tributes were numerous and handsome. His death occurred on Monday, July 7, after a long illness at the Rumphia M. which he was proprietor, near Red Bank N. New York, who enjoyed a wide acquaintance among public and financial circles. General Grant was a warm supporter of his meeting him when Mr. Thomas was steward of the Capitol Club on Washington, and Grover Cleveland who among his patrons, a list of whom would come in to present prominent men. Mr. Thomas was born over seven years ago at Drummondville, Ont. He was for a long time steward on the boats on the Lakes and Mississippi River. He was also head waiter at the Grand Hotel, Saratoga and from there he when would come in to Saratoga Lake, of which he was proprietor ten years. Eleven years ago he took charge of the Rumphia Inn. He was prominently identified with St. Philip's church during his residence in New York, serving for several years as a vicar. He also also a member of the New York and Newport U.S. Fishing Club. He leaves a widow and eight children. A. Brilliant Student.
