Industrious Economic and Commercial Life Indications of Success in Business Methods Employed in All Branches at the Capital WASHINGTON. July 28—Afro-American mechanic, professional and business men and women, of the National Capital, are proving the wisdom of the maxim, "Despite not small beginnings" according to the compilation which is being made by the local branch of the National Negro Business League, relative to the business and professional enterprises conducted by Afro-Americans in the District of Columbia. Large enterprises of the occupum variety are so common these days and are so powerful in their ability to benefit or to injure, and so ramifying in their agencies of trade that men generally, and Afro-Americans especially, are proud, underestimate small business and for the reason frequently to overestimate the provisions of big undertakings. Discouragement results in either case and tends to paralyse both industries and mutual business. Small capital in the form of modern civilization, is itself a sufficient handicap to deter men from entering upon a career, in which ninety-five per cent. of men are drawn out and must drawbacks not economic in cause but disastrous in result, the Afro-American especially displays something more than ordinary courage when he enters the arena. And yet the preliminary practice required to above, women of this age are daily engaging in the practice or the pursuit of professors or commerce. The canvass made so far is only partial and the completed port will hold together very materially august- This showing, incomplete as it is, is extremely interesting and is indicative of the success that will ultimately crown thoronghoeing business methods. The first glance at the summary of these tactics is apt to excite Washington in business and commerce operations, although forces have recently been aroused that promise to add to its importance as a business center. Then, too, these statistics may appear as "the evidence of things not seen, for some of these venture the "strongened and lightened" ways," although many are conspicuous for their location and prosperous patronage. Many of them are obscure and unfortunately are not the resort of bargain hunters. Some have been extracted or abortively used, either undisturbed or unmarked disap-vision takes in the small as well as the great there are evidences of the increasing number of moderately thriving enterprises, conducted by Afro-Americans, in this city. They are coming to the local branch of the Business League can effectively stimulate and encourage them. In the recognized professions, not including teaching, Washington has 143 active practitioners. There are 640 active lawyers, and 10 degrees of success before the district courts. Many of them are capable, worthy and reputable men, several are prosperous, and all are apparently making a living as lawyers. Successful both in the matter of litigation and collecting fees, seldom come into public notice as that is usually understood. They do a land office business on behalf of clients out of court. Others practice in the more open and public way and are active in criminal practice. The ordinary layman may be somewhat prepared to hire fifty Afro-American lawyers find business in Washington. There is plenty of it and it is no reflection upon the honorable profession to say that it is a part of the lawyer's business. It is not a private estate and other contract operations daily carried on by the Afro-Americans here, which are a source of lucrative practice, and the litigious prosociality and petty criminality of the population furnish work for all. Exactly equal in number, generally more prosperous in their practice and, owing partly to the nature of their profession, the lawyers, are the physicians and surgeons. There are besides 15 dentists and 25 trained nurse practitioners. The medical sciences has been the field so far of the Afro-American greatest success and a combination of circumstances has made the Afro-American physicians of Washington among the best. The large number of them in native practice here is frequently the subject of remark. Yet the number increases annually and their success seems not the least affected by the law of diminishing demand for medical services in large and perhaps in no other community is so large a per cent. of the colored population ministered to by physicians of their own race. A few families from considerations of sentiments born of attachment or fear of the law employ other than Afro-American physicians but their number is constantly diminishing. Several physicians here are specialists and are really becoming eminent in their line of specialty, and some have equipped their offices and laboratories with the latest medical discoveries. They constitute a body of unto-date, studious and reliable men and only a few of them come within Dr. J. G. Holland or finishes as a humming on whistle. They are since the dawn of creation and, like the post, they are born not made; if a man or woman is born with fake blood, no process and permanently purify it. The medical profession, like all other professions, like whistle as a whole, has to be trained with patience the operation of this human law. This enumeration of lawyers and physicians does not include those who are not in active practice, for there are enough men here with legal and medical lore gleaned away in their brains to "hunt" the biggest trust convivial or to route from Twenty-five undertakers assist in performing the last rites over departed Afro-Americans in this district. These men, in conjunction with many beneficial services with good consultation and render services without their beneficiaries could not be comforted. The statistics furnish an interesting study of lumbricose business undertakings of importance and in astonishing numbers. Forty barber shops, ten blacksmiths and milk dealers, fifteen wood and leather shops, ten cleaningers, thirty express and baggage men, over two hundred dressmakers and seamstresses, fifteen restaurants, five insurance companies, twenty printing and publishing establishments, two registered plumbers, eight timers, two bricklayers, one carpenter, twenty-two contractors and builders, two architects, seventy-five carpenters, eighteen showrooms, four bakers, twenty-five steam engineers, fifteen real estate dealers, two jewelry shops, ten construction firms which are out a small part of the area, and many of these are widewake, prosperous and growing establishments of which specific mention cannot be made. They testify to an arduous industrial, economic and commercial consciousness which if kept alive, and fed with the encouragement of parental and support will work for a higher status. Afro-Americans are chiefly consumers of the necessities of life, as they are generally understood, and these should, to a large extent constitute the stock-in-trade food and clothing-American merchant. Food and clothing-Americans expenditure and they are the basis of a large part of modern commerce. While there are many small establishments, dealing groceries and produce, scattered all over the country, there are present but few of important size. The profit in this business is small, and the failure to appreciate this fact and to recognize the further fact and guiding principle, that modern mercantile success depends on the success of many commodities, accounts for the failure which has attended efforts to establish reasonably large grocery and produce business. Several attempts here have root with failure and various causes have been assigned, and the success of many companies dealing in groceries or produce on both combined is forty-five. Evolution will probably develop larger establishments based upon correct business principles, methods wherein the get-rich-quick idea has been applied, which has been in operation here for the past two years gives promise of such an evolution. It is somewhat unusual in its character and has been managed in an exceptionally up-to-date manner. This is a result of the success of the business in fruit, delicacies, luncheon dainties and fancy groceries. In enterprise, arrangement, cleanliness and in the complete ensemble which attracts custom and holds customers has been a model establishment and is still being built, such that success in business depends upon a clear understanding of business methods. In its last analysis the expansion of the commercial suitris upon the feeling of business men, and it is probable that the Business League and kindred organization, both local and national, will do more to fulfill its mission in Washington as elsewhere.

AN AFRICAN AMERICAN JOURNAL OF NEWS AND OPINION A PHILADELPHIA TRAINED NURSE PHILADELPHIA: July 29 - During his inspection of the schools downtown Superintendent Brumbaugh found a trained nurse, who, without receiving any compensation whatever, has been doing for the Afro-American children of the city a while. He is to be compared with the efforts for his race of Booker T. Washington at Tuskegee. This woman is Miss Annie H. Reeves, daughter of the reverable pastor of the Central Presbyterian church, Dr. John B. H. it was by the mercy accident that the school authorities became aware that a young Afro-American woman, had during the past term, so successfully co-operated with the medical inspectors that outpatient clinics were three schools attended by Afro-American children were checked. Perhap is the most important feature of the volunteer nurse's achievements was her success in persuading the parents of the children to avoid quacking. No part of her work was done by anyone who does a lucrative business at times, and a number of our herb doctors are reported to no matter how serious the illness, and despite the efforts of the medical inspectors competent doctors are required to turn up to brumbyburg whenever a child is admitted to the three schools became ill Nurse Reeves would go to the home, nurse the child, provide medicine, which she procured from the hospitals or the Bureau of Health, and then persuade the child's parents to attend the entire term that she did not take a child, or more than one, to a hospital for treatment. Among the prominent physician she interested in Afro-American children was Dr. Lagerstroff, a professor of the clinic, University of Pennsylvania, to whom she brought no-called incorrigible children. A boy, for whom teachers could do nothing, and who had been expelled from the Catto school, came under her observation, unable to talk, and was sent two months later he could not form a letter. Discovered at his failure to get along, the boy became mischievous and would have been left to drift had it not been for the nurse. The child's mother had taken him to the nurse. Nurse Reeves had him examined by Dr. Witmer, who found that the boy had defective vision and adenoids. An operation was performed, the boy returned to school when he got well, and his progress has been no remarkable that although his attention was called to the case. It was in this way that the superintendent heard of the volunteer nurse, "There is not a department of our public schools that is doing so much to educate our children, and others lives than the visiting nurses," said Dr. Brunnbaugh. "Mrs. Quintard, the matron of the Visiting Nurse Society, formerly had charge of the work in the New York schools, and her Miss Reeves reports that she is doing so much to skill the children. Many of the little ones who come to our schools belong in homes, where nothing is known about hygienic living. Miss Reeves reports that she is doing so much to skill the sick children, and her suggestions as to improving the sanitation of the homes is observed. Nurse Reeves in February of this year visited schools 141 times, went to 155 homes, and had 765 cases treated, and an remarkable record I have ever heard of and she received no salary from the city." Charging mismanagement, wastefulness, extravagance and violation of the by-laws of the order, three members of different subordinates of the Grand Unit, and one member of the can organisation, instituted equity proceedings in the Common Pleas Court Friday to have a receiver appointed for the sub-committee of management. The members asking for the receivership are identified in the Order of Old Lodge, Grisham of Enoch Lodge, John H. A Knox of Climax Lodge. The defendants are W. L. Hounsland, L. N. Porter, James F. Needham, H. J. Davis, Julius C. Johnson, George H. M. Thomas, Park P. Woodland. The律师 Lawrence and A: T. Shriram are a corporation of members of the Grand United Order of Old Fellows. The members are elected blennially. It is charged that the committee has been extravagant and wasteful and acting in opposition to the best interests of the organization. The sub-committee is authorized to the sub-committee raised the salaries of the grand master and assistant secretary. These advances, it is said, should have been made by the movable committee. Objections are made to the conclusion, it is charged, that although the charter calls for four directors, five were elected to the sub-committee. The court is asked to appoint a receiver and take charge of the assets and property, and to collect all monies, and to hold the committee accountable. It is also asked to restrain the committee from further action. The assertion that the district attorney's office acted with too much haste in disposing of the case of John Hurton, the seventy-year-old Mary Perry at Seventh and Panama streets on June 25, was made by Lawyer John R. K. Scott to judge Nilsberger Quarre, Nissius Berger, Thurlow, and Berger had appointed Mr. Scott to investigate new evidence in the case. Mr. Scott investigated the case which resulted in the contraction of the holding responsible for the deaths of a number of Afro-Americans who were killed in the collapse of a building recently by the corpse of a number of inmates will now be begun by the families of the deceased.

Hill on Banking. RICHMOND, Va., July 22—The Rev Dr. W. F. Graham is one of the hustling business preschools of Richmond. He not only pastor a large and growing congregation, but is the president of one of the largest Afro-American insurance companies in the country and as head of the Virginia Negro Business League has made the organization in the State a success. The Virginia League held its third annual session in the city of Suffolk July 10 and 11, and at the Jamestown expedition the 12th. In speaking to the session Dr. Graham said the meetings were excellent, the programme well executed and those of them lived in a well-lived addresses did much good by way of encouragement of the race in business pursuits. The local league of Suffolk, he said had made ample preparations for entertainment of the State body. The team had a public tent and a public hall all been tendered for use of the gathering. The Rev. Dr. M. B. Hueckel, Robert Davis, W. W. Gaines and other pastors of the city took an active part in the discussion of the merchants to make the meeting a success. At the opening session the address of welcome was made by Mayor Killen. In his address the mayor said the African-American people were short in education and had a task on its shoulders to make them succeed in business. He also touched on the irregularities of our people as a laboring class, many of whom will leave their work one or two weeks before graduation. He had been the cause for a demand for foreign labor, an element not congenial to Southern employment; class. He urged the race to stick to the work, as if was the sure course to guard against the country. R. T. Hill, Esq. of Richmond responded to the address. One of the first questions to encounter the attention of the league was the feasibility of continuing the State league's importance in supplying Afro-American businesses warmly discussed, acer speaker advocating the continuance. Among the newest read during the sessions were important companies: Afro-American Business Company, Anderson; "General Merchandise," Theobroch Harris; "The Real Estate Business," E. C. Brown; "The Negro's Business," E. C. Brown; "The Business Training," G. W. Roper; "The Oyster Business," Merritt Gray; "Undertrakt and Embalming." W. H. Crosker, "Banking," R. T. Hill. These close of the afternoon session of Thursday a trip was made down the Nanesmond river on a steamer owned by an Afro-American company to an island. Here was held an old-time Virginia lighthouse and there was speechmaking galore. The third day session was held in the auditorium of the Negro Building at the Jamestown expedition, the league making the trip to the expedition in the morning. At the expedition the body was warm received by Mr. J. T. Collier, chairman of the committee, mittees, who in a most felicious address welcomed the league. The response was made by J. Thomas Newcome, Esq., who in his very admirable address said he wished to emphasise the fact that he had made a careful study of the exhibits and that the Negro exhibit was the finest on the grounds. While primarily he had not favored a separate exhibit, yet from what he has seen he had made a difference to the heist and the advantage of the race having a separate exhibit. It was at this session that R. T. Hill, Eq., cashier of the True Reformer's Bank, read his most excellent paper on "Banking Business" in the audience and the advantage of people in the audience and they could readily understand from the scope of the paper that the Afro American banker is not a novice at financiering. Colonel Giles P. Jackson, who has always been keen to learn about the banker, was on the programme for an address, but he was unavoidably absent. His place on the programme was filled by Mrs. A. M. Curtis, who delivered an address of inspiration and encouragement to the Rev. Dr. W. T. Taylor, head of the True Reformer; W. K. Hope of New Orleans, Professor J. K. Hope of New Orleans, might have undertaken of Norfolk, oftener the Fiske Jubilee Singers rendered several choice selections between the speeches. In the election of officers the Rev. Dr. W. F.

Taylor; assistant recording secretary, W. F. Deny; corresponding secretary, R. W. Andersen; treasurer, the colonel Harris; statistician, R. T. Hill; chaplain, Rev. T. S. Epps; State secretary and organist, R. F. Graham; Dr. Graham the retiring president, declining to stand for re-election, said his interest in the work of the league was as ardent as ever and that he would continue to do his part to make the organization a medium for encouraging race enterprises and business, but that he would not be elected to the presidency, as he believed in encouraging the young men by bringing them to the front. The Suffolk-Jamestown session will go down into the history of the State by taking a highly successful and profitable one. George St. Julien STEPHENS. THE RACE HISTORY CLUB.

The Chicago University seems fated to be the storm center of color-line situations. Nearby a term passer without opposition is color prejudice is a vital thing in our Christian civilization. Yet the abilities young men and women of our race come and go in spite of the tyranny of opposition and oppression the country has been forced to confront in the pursuit of this great and well-equipped seat of learning. you may see our young people as students, diligently preparing themselves for life and increasing their knowledge by going George Washington, D.

Wright of Philadelphia and many others. The most recent and sensational event in the big university is the alleged sudden discovery that one of the prettiest, the most beautiful, the most famous of the class that graduated a year ago and now a post-graduate student, in a colored girl, Miss Cecilia Johnson.

For four years she was the chief attraction at all the high social functions. The papers all she wrote might be accomplished as a linguist, pianist and ceived honorable mention as a student. Newspapers thirsting for a sensation published several columns describing Miss Johnson as a clever deceiver of men and foes in concealing her race identity, and foes in concealing her identity "preaches and cream complexion."

PRESIDENT THIRKIELD History of the Inception and Work of the Great Institution at Washington From The Washington Evening Star. Howard University, the highest institution for the education of the colored race in the world, was founded on the 15th of November, 1867, and it is proposed to celebrate the fortyth anniversary of that event when the date comes around next fall. Arrangements have already begun. President Wilbur Patterson Thirkeld has concurred with President Roosevelt, who is expected to be the principal figure in the ceremonies, and a committee of the alumni has been organized to promote the success of the occasion. It is proposed to commemorate the event by raising a fund for a new building which is greatly needed to accommodate the 46,000 volumes which are now overcrowding the present library. The occasion will call back to Washington many of the 3,000 alumni for a reunion, and such a gathering will do more than anything else that could be planned to stimulate interest in the institution. The new president, Dr. Thirkield, will be inaugurated at that time. After preaching in Cincinnati-for two years he was invited to take up the very important work of organizing an institution at Atlanta for the training of young colored men for the ministry. Mr. E. II. Gammon of Batavia, Ill., a former partner of William Deering, of Chicago, in the manufacture of agricultural imple- East ments, offered to endow a theological department in connection with Clark University. Dr. Thirkield accepted the call and commenced work with himself as the entire faculty and only two students in a humble, unfinished building. Sixteen years later he left the institution, after having educated more than 500 Methodist ministers who are now leaders of their faith, filling some of the most important palpits in the South and serving as heads of institutes of learning. One is an editor of an influential newspaper; another is the agent of the American Bible Society and has distributed and sold more Bibles to the colored race than any other man. Fire are missionaries in Africa and one is president of a college at Monrovia, West Africa. Dr. Thirkield left the summary a group of several buildings, grounds worth over $100,000, and an endowment of half a million, making it the best endowed theological school in the South. During his work at the Gammon Seminary he demonstrated that a Northern man can conduct a colored institution in the heart of the South upon progressive plans and take a determined and in favor of Negro education with it losing the confidence and respect of the white people. In 1890 Dr. Thirkield was chosen secretary of the Fowthill League, with leadquarters at Chicago. In 1900 he was elected to succeed Bishop Hamilton as secretary of the Freedmen's Aid and Southern Educational Society, in charge of forty-three schools in the South, with 200 teachers, and an average attendance The image provided is too blurry to accurately recognize any text. It appears to be a grayscale image with a dark background and some faint, indistinct shapes that could be interpreted as objects or patterns. of 1930, which was increased to 12,000 during the six years of his administration. During that time he erected twenty-six new school buildings. Dr. Thirkirk came to the presidency of Howard University in 1906, being the unanimous choice of the board of trustees, and has recently completed his first college year, working in perfect harmony with the trustees and the faculty. The year before he came there were 160 students. During the recent term there were 1,011, and a graduating class of 126. At the recent commencement three graduates received the degree of bachelor of divinity, sixty-eight that of doctor of medicine, eleven that of doctor of pharmacy, thirteen dental surgery, twenty-six bachelor of laws, five bachelor of arts, three bachelor of science, and two bachelor of philosophy. There is likely to be considerable agitation during the next few months over Howard University, because of the recent election of Booker T. Washington as a member of the board of trustees. Prof. Washington has been severely criticised by many members of his race, and by many white people who are interested in its advancement, because of the determined attitude he has taken in advocating the industrial education of Negroes. He has been the ablest add the foremost apostle of the theory that the colored Panorama from Top of Main Hall, Showing Location in the City, University Quadrangle, with Lake and Soldiers' Home Park at the Right race should keep out of the productions and politics, and devote itself to agriculture, the mechanic arm and the trades until it has acquired a wealth and industrial importance corresponding to that of the white race in this country. He has devoted his life, as every one known, to industrial education, believing that to be the solution of the race problem, but his experience in securing teachers for his own great institution has taught him the advantage and the necessity of higher education for teachers and preachers at least, because that is the only way in which the standard of knowledge and efficiency in school houses and the pulpita of the South can be raised. He concedes that the proper solution of the race problem is impossible without an educated clergy.

WILBUR PATTERSON THIRKIELD, DD, LL.D. President Howard University ample. East Front of Campus from Freedman's Hospital Building church the present partially educated generation must have educated leaders. He believes, too, that the morality of the colored energy of the South can only be improved by education. The Suffrage League of Boston, which has denounced his election and used him to decline, failed to see that his hearty acceptance of a place on the board of an institution that for forty years has stood for the higher education of the Negro, identifies this great leader with that movement. In accepting his election Prof. Washington wrote to President Thirkield "I shall do my best to strive with you and others to make Howard University an ideal institution for the elevation of our race. In my opinion, by all of us working heartily and continuously together we can build up a great Negro university of which the whole country will be proud. Howard University, as you have often suggested, needs to be put abreast with the best institutions of the kind in the country." Possessing these views, Prof. Washington was elected trustee of Howard University, and great good is expected to come from his services in that capacity, but a certain fraction of the colored race, particularly in the North, who have resented his opposition to the general higher education of Negroes, will doubtless continue to criticise the selection and are determined to drive him off the board, if possible. Prof. Washington is perfectly able to take care of himself; the trustees have absolute confidence in his integrity and usefulness, and the agitation will do Panorama from Top of Main Hall, Showing Location Howard University more good than harm. There are many interesting incidents in connection with the origin of Howard University. In 1866 the members of the First Congregational church of Washington were using Columbia Law building on 5th street, opposite Judicary Square, as a temporary place of worship while their present building at the corner of 10th and G streets was being erected. At a monthly concert on the night of November 17, 1866, the pastor, the Rev. Dr. C. B. Royton, spoke upon the duty of the country of the Christian people in particular and toward the freedmen who had been emancipated. Other gentlemen in attendance continued the discussion, and Benjamin F. Morris, a clerk in the Post Office Department and a son of a former member of the United States Senate from Ohio, described what he had seen that afternoon at Wayland Institute, a theological school for colored young men, in the northern part of Washington, where the annual examinations were held. There was only one teacher and only half a dozen students, but Mr. Morris expressed his gratification at the intelligence and zeal that were displayed by them, and the hope that a larger institution might some day be established in Washington. Mr. Henry A. Brewster, local insurer was once agent, was so impressed by the disc Mr. counsion that be invited a number of gentlemen presently meet at his house on 1 street, near 8th, on the following Thursday evening, to discuss the subject further. Mr. Brewster was a life-long abolitionist of the Brewster who came over in the Mayflower. He was actively engaged in charitable and religious work during his long residence in Washington, and his death in 1873 was universally mourned. About thirty gentlemen accepted his invitation, and the meeting appointed a committee consisting of Dr. Boynton, Benjamin F. Morris and the Rev. D. B. Nichols to draw up a plan for the establishment of a college and theological seminary for colored young men in Washington. was appointed, which began its work to take up complete the organization, and November 18, 1857, work began with Rev. Dr. Boynton as president. He was shortly succeeded by Rev. Byron Banderlith, and he in turn, by Gen. Howard, who remained from April 5, 1859, to December 1, 1873.

Dr. Banderlith, of the Presbyterian church for the cation were held last夜 Charles St. Preston prescheduled. Rev. Dr. Boynton was chaplain of the House of Representatives, pastor of the newly-organised First Congregational church, and the first president of Howard University. He was a man of great ability and learning, an eloquent preacher, an abolitionist, and sincerely devoted to the cause of education. The Rev. Danforth B. Nichols was born in Massachusetts, educated at Oberlin College, served as a home missionary in Iowa, superintendent of a reform school in Chicago and afterward of a State reform school in Michigan. During the war he went into the Christian commission, and had charge of a large camp of "contrabands" just across the Potomac from Washington. Later he lived at Rockford, Ill., and then moved to South Dakota, where he was installed as pastor of a Congregational church. At the second meeting at Mr. Brewer's house, when the committee made its report, Henry Wilson, one of the Senators from Massachusetts, and afterward Vice-president; Senator Pomeroy of Kansas and Gen. O. O. Howard, then superintendent of the freechmen's bureau at Washington, were present, and those gentlemen took a deep interest in the plans from that hour. The report recommended the establishment of a "theological and normal institute" for the education of colored youth Building Class of '06—College of Arts and Sciences for the ministry and the schools of the South, the normal part being suggested by Senator Pomeroy. At a subsequent meeting upon his motion the scope of the school was enlarged so us to include both sexes and all races and conditions of men and women on equal footing. It was also decided, upon motion of Gen. Howard, to include departments of medicine, law and agriculture, and to establish a preparatory school in connection with the Location in the City, University Quadrangle, with I. institution. A dozen or more names for the institution had been proposed, but none of them seemed to suit the committee until Mr. Nichols suggested that it be called Howard University. Gen. Howard, who was present, objected to the use of his name, although he expressed his profound appreciation of the honor. Whereupon Mr. Nichols suggested that the new institution be named in honor of John Howard, the great English philanthropist, who was celebrated for his labors in behalf of the down-trodden and oppressed and the poor and the criminal classes in England. He suggested jocularly that while the new institution would be called after John Howard, in respect to the modesty of one of the trustees, it would at the same time bear the name of Oliver Otis Howard, an American philanthropist, commissioner of the freedmen's bureau, and who was also the true friend of the down-trodden and oppressed. Senator Pomeroy drew up the act of incorporation, which was introduced in the Senate by Henry Wilson and in the House by Burton C. Cook, a representative from Chicago, who took an active interest in securing its passage March 2, 1907. The first meeting of the incorporators was held the same day at the house of Mr. Brewster, and a board of trustees were appointed, which began the process to take them to complete the organization, and November 18, 1857, work was begun, with Rev. Dr. Boyston as president. He was shortly succeeded by Rev. Ryeus Benderandier, and he, in turn, by Gen. Howard, who remained from April 5, 1862, to December 1, 1873. Since that date several distinguished men have been at the head of the institution, and its progress and growth have been continuous and healthful. During the last college year forty-one States and foreign countries were represented. There were sixty-seven students from the British West Indies, seven from British Guiana, four from Africa, four from Porto Rico, three from Canada, two from the Republic of Panama, and one each from Santo, Domingo, Haiti and South America. The students were divided into different departments, as follows: Academic department, 228; medical department, 284; law department, 101; teachers' college, 190; theology, 83; arts and sciences, 75; commercial college, 56. The commercial department of the university has furnished more colored physicians for the South than all the other institutes combined. It is asserted that one-third of all the colored doctors in the country are graduates of Howard University. WILLIAM E. CURTIS. Homestead Climate Clean Up HOT SPENCES. Va., July 30.—Mr. and Mrs. N. F.

Cole and Johannes are determined to "go big" in the musical comedy world, so they did in the song-writing realm. It was only a year or two ago that their songs were being sung on Broadway by the most prominent of artists. Now announcement is made that the two comedians, with their "Shoo-Fly Regiment" company, will do Broadway for a run, opening at the Rijou Theatre Tuesday, August 8. It is not known how they did it, but we do know that they gave another exhibition of energy that should make the older and more prominent comedians Williams and Walker and Ernest Hogan, rub their eyes and ask their younger colleagues in the show. How was it used. Expressions of surprise are being heard on all sides that date and Johnson should beat Ernest Hogan and Williams on Broadway, and the writer is very much surprised himself. Hogan may assert that he plays on Broadway in New York every season, when he is featured as Hammerstein's, but that of Hogan he will be twice or thirty minutes. Two seasons ago his "Memphis Student," in which he was star, was the bit of the summer on Broadway; yet people also went to see eight or nine (the act and (white) on the bill. Then Williams and Walker may contend that they played at the New York Theatre shortly before they left for London, where they will be Broadway house by way of Long Acre Square on which it is situated. The Bijou Theatre is a Broadway house without any ifs or ans. Of course I may be termed technical by some, because I say the New York Theatre is not on Broadway. It is now regarded as a Broadway house. With an engagement Kline & Dilanger, but the never any disguises, to what the Bijou Theatre is and where it is located. Rehearsals are now being held by the Cole and Johnson Company, and when the curtain rises Tuesday evening, there will be sixty people in the organization. Joe Jordan has been recorded the honor of directing the large orchestra for the first week at least. Several new songs have been interpolated and the scenery as well as costumes, the latter being badly crooked and uneven. In commencing on the appearance of the Afro-American show on Broadway one New York paper has to say: "Those who attend to see the ordinary buffoonery of the average Negro company will find a play constructed in a natural manner and an entertainment which has proven most delightful. The comedy parts, without exception, are handled by Negro actors of ability. Their work is refreshing in its decency, clean in a subtlety to elevate the American Negro without a trace of a tendency to demoralize." As I have attended the Cole and Johnson show twice and have also been present at their rehearsals for their opening on Broadway. I don't feel other than optimistic as to their artistic success. Their financial success will depend mainly on things—the joint support of the white and colored people and the deportment of the latter. It is not that the managers of first-class theatres object to colored shows being booked in their houses because of the companies being composed of Afro-Americans, but is more on account of the clientele they draw. The content of their shows on Broadway can be made an event of no little importance, if the Afro-Americans who attend will individually lend their efforts to help the two comedians, to wit: Don't laugh loudly when there is nothing much to laugh at, as is often the case; don't laugh too loudly so the people near you cannot hear which of them are laughing at all of time around the front of the theatre and in front of adjoining buildings in large numbers. If these rules are adopted and carried out to the letter by each and every Afro-American who goes to see the "Shoo-Fly Regiment," there is no question that Cole and Johnson will have a successful run at the Bijon Theatre, as they will be supported by the white theatre hosts; and it will mean much for Afro-American stars in Broadway houses in the figure.

To the Editor of THE AGE: Through your newspaper, I beg to call to the attention of our people the fact that Dec. 17, 1907, will be the one hundredth anniversary of the birth of John Greenleaf Whittier. I need not remind the Negro people of the unassimilated labors rendered by this great individual and for the perpetuation of the Union. Our race owes him a debt of gratitude it will be difficult for us to repay. It seems to me that it would be very fitting if we should begin now to make preparations to celebrate this anniversary in a befitting manner. Such a cell should arrive, organized in schools, churches, by library organizations and by various other organized bodies. I am just in receipt of a letter from friends of the poet living in Amesbury, Mass., his old home, advising of plans now being perfected for the celebration of this great event in Amesbury. Everywhere will let the world know through a proper celebration of the event how much they honor the memory of theainted Whittier. Yours faithfully.

THE CURRY NORMAL AND INDUSTRIAL INSTITUTE Urbana, Ohio Aug 1-2t Published on Thursday of every week by The New York Amz Publishing Company, the Company, T. Thema Fortune, 7 and 8 Chatham Square; Secretary, Secretary, J Johnson; Peterson; Chatham In the Borough of Manhattan, New York. Filipino Unroot. Are the Filipinos satisfied with American rule? Are they resting peacefully under the uncertain (to them) folds of the American flag with no wish, no longing, no desire, to be free, to be independent? The registration in Manila preparatory to the election of members for the Philippines Assembly, which took place July 30, showed a total of 7,903, of whom 865 were Americans, or only 7,037 Filipinos out of the very large population. Now, if the Filipino is resting peacefully, with no hankering after the things all people deem supreme and best in government, this small registration does not show it, and the Washington authorities will have trouble in making the next Congress and the people of the country believe it. And American newspapers are making a lot of assorted talk about statements emanating from the Cornell Filipino colony that the Filipinos are unhappy and want what they have not got. Of course these have brought out some dissent. But the facts remain as they have come out of the Cornell Filipino colony, and as the writer found them when he was in the Philippines. What the United States should do as soon as possible is to get out of the Philippine Islands. We have a country big enough for our purposes, and we have troubles enough at home without going to Asia for more territory and more trouble. If we think we must expand our territorial area there is room a-plenty to do so on the North American Continent. Nesperian's stepmother Vespasian Warner of Illinois, Commissioner of Pensions, has publicly charged that his stepmother, Mrs. Isabella Robinson Warner, is not entitled to the rights in her late husband's large estate, because she has Negro blood in her veins. Mrs. Warner, it is said, has more than a hundred letters from her late husband, whom she met in a railroad wreck, showing that she did not deceive her husband in the way her stepon alleges. It is said a movement has been put on foot in Illinois to ask the President to remove Mr. Warner for his action in this matter. There should be such a movement, and the President should be given a chance to sustain or rebuke the Commissioner for his conduct. Suppose his stepmother has Negro blood? It is not a crime under Federal or Illinois law to have it or legally mingle it with the blood of Europeans, Asiatics or hyphenated Americans. The Whiskey Poison. Kentucky, where whiskey distilling is the most profitable industry, has determined that its citizens of the State shall not drink liquor, but leaves those same citizens to distil liquor to sell to the citizens of the other States, subject only to the Federal internal revenue tax. Now, if the Federal Government can legalize the sale, by taking it, a poison which the people of one State deny to themselves, but give to the people of other States for a price, why can't the Federal Government regulate or prohibit by law the manufacture and sale of the liquor poison? If it has a right to tax the liquor poison for the purpose of raising revenue the Federal Government must necessarily have the right to prohibit the manufacture and sale of the liquor poison to kill the brain and stunt the body of the citizens of the Republic. Will the Federal Government do it? Yes; when the people, who are the Government, are educated by pulpit and press to the sense of injury which the liquor poison is, and will compel legislators, who are their servants, to enact necessary laws to do it. "Perhaps" A New York newspaper remarks that "Perhaps it would be better if all the Southern Legislatures met in cold weather." No "perhaps" about it; it would be better, as a matter of fact, if they did not meet at all. They have been meeting annually ever since 1876 and piling up a body of laws out of which as much trouble may come in the future as came out of the body of laws which grew up in the slave-days and which was abolished by the War Amendments to the Federal Constitution and legislation under the Reconstruction act. Southern Legislatures are constituted by a portion of the citizenship and are oligarchical rather than republican in character. They are not needed in our Federal system. Strictly speaking, they are prohibited by the Federal Constitution. As a matter of fact and of Constitutional law, the Southern States, which have not a republican form of government, would be territorial governments if the theory of our institutions were enforced. But the Federal Supreme Court has stood for the justification of the wrong, and right will have to wait upon time and enlightened public opinion for vindication. The Unwritten Law Supreme. The unwritten law—the right of a member of a family to kill a person alleged to have wronged a female of such family—is marching on with evident self-satisfaction and esteem in the Southern States. Twice in six months courts of Virginia have approved of the unwritten law doctrine, and only last week a Maryland jury discharged a woman and her son who had shot a man accused of bad faith with the woman's daughter. But all along the Southern line of States the doctrine is being entrenched in law and precedent, even as litch law has been. In granting an unconditional pardon to Mrs. Birdsong for killing her family physician, because when he was drunk he blabbed about their relations to each other, Governor Vardaman, who is striving to win a seat in the Federal Senate, declared that he believed the unwritten law should prevail in Mississippi. The New York World has the following to say about it: Governor Vardaman of Mississippi in the Birdsong case divides that a woman is justified in murdering her paramour if he gets drunk and reveals their relations. Why not repeat the written law and depend entirely on the unwritten law? Then the country could dispose with Congress, President, and with Governor. Legislature courts, shelters and police, while each person enacted his own law and enforced it with a shotgun. Why waste all this money on a superfluous thing like government? When lawlessness becomes so pronounced an element in the life of a people that the wise provisions of government, in which exact justice for all is the ideal aimed at, are set aside by the courts to satisfy the demands of the populace, the State or States where such conditions prevail are clearly diseased in their moral sense and dangerously debased in their civil virtue. This is the real condition of affairs in the Southern States, and behooves the people of the other States to turn the searchlight mercilessly upon it, lest the people of the States immediately concerned lapse into barbarism. The unwritten law and lynch law are the products of a diseased public intelligence which, allowed full scope, will undermine all of the safeguards of orderly government. That is the way matters are tending in the Southern States, and have been tending ever since the War of the Rebellion, with the acquiescence if not the connivance of the people of the other States of the Union "An injury to one is an injury to all" applies to States as well as individuals. --- The toughs who delight to harass Afro-Americans in New York are finding out that it is a game that two can play at. And the police who single out Afro-Americans when there is a riot for the purpose of smashing their heads are learning that a razor properly handled leaves hurts that talk a long time. All of this is to be deplored; but as long as race riots continue it will be so. New York city is big enough for all of the people in it, and the police are able to maintain peace if they will; and when all of this is thrown to winds and Afro-Americans are put on the defensive it is right that they fight to a finish in holding up their end. Cowardice under any circumstances is the best sort of thing. --- The recent Solomon Concave of Afro-Americans of Missouri was far out of the ordinary of such gatherings. It took high but temperate ground on all questions with which it had to deal. The St. Louis Globe-Democrat, one of the greatest newspapers in the Southwest, says of the Concave's address that it "is a notable document, one worthy of any race, and calculated to promote good feeling and right thinking." In another column of THE ACE we give the full text of Bishop Grant's eloquent address. --- The Baltimore Sun, which is not a prophet nor the sun of a prophet, wants the Federal Government to control mosquitoes. Very well. There are a great many things which the Federal Government does not control, which is should control, and will control, before the end of the chapter, and a great many such things, which do violence to the common rights of citizens under the statute laws of the Federal Government, and which The Baltimore Sun helped possible, in the State of Maryland. Governor Frantz of Oklahoma has issued a proclamation calling for an election. September 17, to ratify the proposed State Constitution. It would be well if the people would defeat the ratification, so that a second convention, wiser for the blunders of the first, would frame a Constitution, meeting all of the requirements of the enabling act. --- The Japanese have taken away from the Emperor of Korea his crown, ostensibly because he appealed to the Peace Tribunal to intervene in his interest as against the aggravations of Japan. Now, if the Emperor of Korea does not walk in the middle of the turnip Japan may take away his head. The big fish eat up the little fish. THE NEW YORK AGE; THURSDAY AUGUST 1, 1907. CHAIN GANG VICTIMS One Woman Serves Twenty Years When Sentenced for Only Twenty Months—Died in Durese. WASHINGTON, July 29.—The Associated Press says that on July 18 former Registrar of the Treasury Judson W. Lyon of Augusta suffered a serious injury in a Southern Railway wreck at Richland, S. C. It is said that side by side with the Cubans at Tampa, Fla., is a veritable Little Italy. In their rivalry they will have no affiliation whatever with the Cubans. The late Senator Morgan, who some years ago in Congress wanted all the Negroes sent from America to Africa, must have been good to them in Alabama, because The War was not a suitable feature of the solemn depot gathering which awaited the coming of the funeral train of Senator Morgan was the presence of a committee of 50 well-dressed and intelligent Negro men of Selma. The committee was collected and arranged under the direction of the Clark well-known Negro teachers of Selma. Acting under the suggestion of the Rev. W. H. Nixon, every Negro in Selma caused his work for a few minutes at 12 o'clock in honor of Senator Morgan. This feature of the day in Selma was favorably communicated upon two occasions between the two hours in Selma, perhaps the most typical black-belt city of Alabama." Judge Bernard S. Rodney, former delegate in Congress from New Mexico and now a judge on the bench in Porto Rico, tells the administration in Washington and the state legislature that he aged over the failure of Congress to grant them rights of full citizenship that they not only refuse to lift their hats when the American band plays. The State Department says their devotion to Spain. Of course they would feel discouraged, for to give people freedom without giving them citizenship looks like their freedom a lie. Judge Rodney says that Congress has been of great benefit to Porto Rico, inspiring American capital to develop it, giving employment to everybody, driving away starvation, once so common there, and making it easier to make angels weep and devils swear when they read in the newspapers recently that because of the mistake of a court clerk in Montgomery, Ala., who wrote prosecution instead of a girl convict, served almost 20 years in the penitentiary when typhoid fever and death came to her relief. It might pay for the penitentiary officials to examine the girl, if there were not some more Negro convicts serving by mistake away over their terms. The next disgrace that came to her while in prison was the birth of a child, is there no protection for her, or is there not some more closure after they are sent to prison? The dead girl's mother is asking the legislature to make an atonement by appreciating enough money to pay for the work done by her husband, who showed that it should only be 20 months. The Afro-American Council, Niagara Movement, and similar organizations formed to fight the battles of the Negro race should significantly improve the sorrowful mother's cry and appropriate a reasonable amount. There is only one Bishop II, M. T. Marner who is old and courageous enough to do his own thinking and express his own feelings with his own mind, without afraid of a midnight mob. When speaking in defense of his persecuted race he knows how to hit the bullseye with a ringer. Several daily journals of the Southern belief and prejudice on the Negro question have been bowling with pain and abusing Bishop Tarner because in one of the Boston churches recently he was accused of being a slave. I possibly the last man to call on to speak on July 1. Yet I have seen the day when I thanked God that I was a citizen of the United States. When I came out of prison, I was a citizen of the nation in the world and I would like to hold it so yet. The flag still flaunts in the heavens, but there is not a star in it which signifies manhood or liberty. This of Thee, I cannot understand. So long as the nation burns and lynches and skins alive my race may my tongue drop out before I sing it. But My Father I could sense that. The white and black soldiers of the District of Columbia are taking their annual camp out at present at Camp Orkney, Bolivar Heights, and are daily testing their military knowledge and proficiency in gun-balloting. There is no fear that the Negro millitiam will "shoot up" the camp and wound or kill any of the white soldiers, as the show of force from their commanders and published in The Washington, D. C., Daily Herald will attest: "The colored men are a soldiers and orderly set of men and in an intimate and soil they give absolutely no trouble because of disorder. Once in a while two clobanned, embryo warriors have a difference of opinion, but they settle the matter with boxing gloves and a knife was conducted without a hitch and Colonel Brett spoke in terms of aprise of the four companies composing the battalion. These four companies, have the largest membership of any organization in the militiamen of the colored soldiers." Many an innocent Negro in the South todda is in the grave because falsely charged, without proof, of being guilty of rape. The curried mob will not allow a woman to be guilty of a Negro, innocent or guilty, will outweigh all the proof he can pile up. Because of a brutal, resulting and sickening falsehood told by a young white woman the other day in Memphis, she was accused of a city, whose name we will not call, was quickly arrested and might have been lynched had not the white girl later when facing him broke down completely in tears and denied it and confessed that she was accused of the crime. Had this woman stuck to her falsehood this prominent Negro would have been lynched, but, the lash of an awakened and guilty conscience forced her to tell the truth, and the horrors of hundreds showing how the innocent when denied a trial suffer with the guilty when a false alarm is made. But we will let two paper state the facts: The Memphis, Tenn., Citizen says: To-day the most known example of crime was brought to light when Dr. was acquitted of a charge of criminal assault upon a white girl. The girl testified before the grand jury that she had gone in the show to make a parade and white and while she was arrested by Dr. He was at once arrested and forced to give a $7,000 bill. When Dr. — appeared in court the girl did not know him and broke down completely. The Hot Spring Daily News reported that she — charged with criminally assaulting a white girl, was not prosecuted by Prosecuting Attorney Means in the Circuit Court this afternoon. The reason she was arrested was that she was Eva Barnett, the prosecuting witness, admitted to the prosecuting attorney that she testified falsely before the grand jury and that not only — but also — assaulted her. She stated that she was induced by other parties to accuse him of the crime." BLANCH J. W. BARR. THE NEGRO DOCTOR IN THE SOUTH Constant Growth in Numbers and Intuition—Their Efforts to Elevate the Standard of Living—Phenomenal Growth of Their Drug Storeroom. INSTRUCTIONS From Thi Independent When I went to Alabama in 1861 there was not a Negro doctor, dentist or pharmacist in the State; three years later Dr. C. N. Dornett located in fontenoye, Alabama, and received heavy training in medicine, colored citizen, generally. At the present time There are more than 100 Negro doctors, dentists and pharmacists in the State. In the district of Hirimine he was well known, and he be well to mention here that the first woman of any race who was permitted to practice medicine in the State of Alabama was a Negro woman, Dr. Randle, a daughter of Bisho Benjamin Tanner. A few days ago the State Negro Medical, Dental and Pharmaceutical Association held its annual session in Birmingham, Ala. There were present seven medical men and one woman in the medical profession. Aside from those who reside in the State there were present medical men of national reputation, such as Dr. George C. Hall of Chicago, Dr. William C. of Washington, D. C. and Dr. Rodd, Stewart and Roman of Nashville, Tex. The progress that I have mentioned as having taken place in the State of Alabama is a fair sample of what is going on throughout the South. One does not want to be alone. There are few stronger forces at work in the elevation of the race than those represented by the Negro doctors. The Negro physician is well treated by the white doctor, and the white doctor is willing to load the Negro doctor books, instruments, and, with few exceptions, is glued to go into the consultation room with him. He receives practice in the hospital, and since that is associated with the white physician. In almost every section of the South where I have gone I have observed that the Negro doctor is not only treated with high respect by the colored doctors, but also by the white doctors. There are comparatively few cases where the Negro doctor has not held his own from a moral point of view. The number who have gone down on account of rank or other bad habits is very small. The influence of the Negro doctor in the elevation of the race has extended further than the more practiced medicine. In many cases it will be found that the community in which he lives and owning valuable property. In Montgomery, Ala., for instance, the Negro doctor occurs a and operate four drug stores; in Birmingham and Mobile they control equally as many drug stores. One of the largest and most successful wholesale drug stores in the city of Arlington, Ala., is owned by Dr. Charles I. Thomas, and there is nothing in its inventory that it is not in the hands of a whitman. Nearly every town or city of any size in Alabama has its Negro drug store, and its patrons are not confined to the Negro area, although the practice of the Negro drug store is growing almost entirely in the town of Raleigh. The influence of the Negro doctor has gone still further. In north every large city in the State there are hospitals or internships, where good surgical and medical attention is provided and nurses are trained. The institution is owned and controlled by the public in other instances that are owned by individual doctors. The majority of the Negro doctors, dentists and pharmacists at University Washington, D.C. *Meharrh Medical College, at Nashville, Tenn., or at the Leomur Medical College at Raleigh, N.C. At the Leomur Medical College, from the beginning a majority of white men residing in Raleigh Last April I had the pleasure of delivering the commencement address to the graduating class of the Mehary Medical College when 98 received diplomas in medicine, dentistry and philanthropy of the course, of course will practice in the South. The evolution of the Nega doctor has been a gradual but constant one and his influence for good will be felt in him in creatively strong manner throughout the South each year. NEMER T. WASHINGTON.

New Born, July 29.—As a race we believe too much in individualism and half to get harmony and stability, for our own good from this chaotic state. The various races of this human family believe in the solidarity of society and are accumulating the world's goods like a rolling snowball, and will soon; if we do not act jointly upon the right principles for wealth, harmony and stability, absorb the material wealth of the world. The economic realm of the white races is continually gaining momentum. Their united strength and skill increasing will force a disorganised people into an abyss of commercial-inactivity and make us economically nerveless, shabby and lose the power of stimulation. If we are industrially weak, we will become weaker if the race fails to act to-day to strengthen itself by accepting the opportunity to build, substantially, upon an economic foundation. I find in many communities Afro-Americans with thousands of dollars in white men's banks in the same vicinity. These men of color absolutely fail to foster and encourage materially business promoted by their people. Some say: "I prefer to be alone because all of the profits are mine," money and unless they can be the bear of the company (and they have ten times P. REV. W. G. AVANT more money than they have brains), they will completely isolate themselves from the men that believe in cooperation. They will service at the time every white man recognizes the fact that white men must be mutual in love and service. Such Irish Moff Americans are "Dead Sees" to the men who are supposed to appropriating a certain amount of their money to multiply our valuation in the world of affairs. What protection comes from speaking the truth, which is to the men who the realists are prepared to market their intelligence, but are forced to remain home every day because these Dead Sees will not float in the protection are these disqualified castles? In this city there is a character who does not solitely remain to himself when a movement is being beoomed, to give the fellow behind the plow, at the bottom on the ground, a chance to serve a servant girl a chance to invest a dollar that will bring them in time another dollar and give employment to many of the workers. The stresses are not slow and his energies are strong swift and stimulating. He know that the strong must help the weak, and he bands his energies, faculties and skills to make them his people and make them a homogeneous people of commercial characteristics. He is a fine specimen of manhood. Physical, moral, intellectual and religious training brought him into full oridial manhood. He has always been an active inspiration to those about him. He is optimistic unlike those that through usury and ransom have been taken from an unfortunate for a solitary gain, and then will not cooperate with men of the race to give the race great and commensurate indulgence in the solitary men and women of the race, who will not do something every day to make our position in this country more temible, must be destroyed if they are to survive. This is why W. George Aurgeon is archdeacon for the diocese of East North Carolina. For eight years he was pastor of St. Cyprian P. E. church of this city and principal of the city graded in the diocese. He is a true tribute to seek notoriety, yet he is highly public-spirited and will make sacrifices for the general uplift of his proscribed race. He is a ripe scholar, a powerful lover of knowledge and holds his niece by his logic. Rev. Avant is conservative, but he contends for right to prevail. His hands are trained as well as his head and heart. The factory of St. Cyprus church was built in the 18th century and now runs home by using his skill, brawny arms and tools. An athlete and exponent of physical culture and a first-class carpenter—Rev. Avant is an all-round man. Go to his home and you will find him up on the lawn, in the garden, in the farmer in the gardens, later in the day you will find him making needed repairs about the homestead. A man should manage his brains and stomach and become capable of producing a strong pressure for the productivity of things his family needs, and this architecture is doing this. Through ignorance, men that are in the position to build more needed commercial houses among our people in New York. Norfolk, Albany and other cities. New York and other often allow opportunity to take its flight. Archdacon Avant is a young man who is putting his dollars in Afro-American companies with skilled managers. Judicious officers and men and women possess the skills to work with a few dollars and confidence who are opening up commercial pathways. They are united to break down this ignorance that seems to memorialize a number of our people who have the money to build commercial houses and are willing to see the white man gain by their folly. A true principle must insert itself in the lives of this class of Afro-American folk. Out out this selfish spirit and give the race a great non-violent department store, mill factories, also banks and other enterprises. You who have the dollar, let your money and support prove that you believe in the principle of justice, whether they are in New York, New Horn, New Orleans or wherever, in crediting profitable business institutions, which are our walls of defense against the great attack of an organized business force. The man standing alone, without commercial regard for the other fellow, has determined the character and destiny of his son or daughter who have to follow him and face a combined industrial army, men and women who can reason safely and with confidence our economic good, and this commercial del that obstructs our progress will tolerate and fall by our steadily advance—the road is clear. George F. KING. BISHOP SATTERLEE DYSPEPTIC His Church, Has Not Condidence of Negroes and His Negro Opinions Will Imply He Is—Editor Ward His High School of Negroes. From the Independent Dr. Satterlee, the Episcopal bishop of Washington, gave the more important part of his address before the late diocesan convention to the church's duty to the colored race. It is to his honor that he recognized the prime importance of the race. He admitted that his church does not have the confidence of the Negro, and he gave no explanation of the fact, but his address itself would afford an explanation if the church is a fair representative came throughout a reiterated assertion of the racial inferiority. Now, nobody likes to be told that, even if it is true. Our Declaration of Indemnity requires that we create equal, and that sound battering be hopeful. We like to hear it. Bishop Satterlee's first sentence says, that there are 10,000,000 people "belonging to a subject race." He says, that he goes on to say that "the presence of a subject race in the midst of another people" has always made true race relations more gradual, in the past, removed dissonance "between subject and superior races." The early church, he says, "never came in with a negative ego and had to do with much stronger races of men." He proceeds to assume: "We have to help elevate a race which is morally and intellectually weaker than the Greeks and Syrians, Egyptians and Goths of Apollos days, or the Goths of Byzantium, or the Jews." We imagine that will not be very sensitive reading to Professor Kelly Miller of Howard University or the Register of the Treasury, and he goes on to in his inferior condition, for the Negro people, has been greatly complicated by this fact: "To prevent the Negro from being a subject race the country has given them the right to suffrage, making them the equals of the whites, when they are not killed. So he would have the fifteenth amendment rescinded—though he does not need to say so in terms—but his attack on Negro suffrage and the Constitution will not please the Negro spirit, giving to rise and make themselves the worthy equals of white people he sees, but it will be a sure failure, for he says: "At the present day the colored people of America are led astray by mere desire, by the way in which the difference between the longer and a weaker race may be overcome "The most ignorant of them think that by standing for their political rights as fellow citizens they are going to cover prognosis as social equals and therefore assertion and an assumption of equality whenever the opportunity offers in public or private. Others dream that they will break down the color line by becoming households, and therefore are buying all the land they can pay for in order to own some object through the possession of wealth, and others still aim for equality by being educated in schools and colleges, entering upon the learned professions and having university degrees at the university. "But no stream can rise higher than its fountain head and the history of the Negro race in the past 40 years is a great historic lesson. Though for more than a generation the Negroes have been made the political equals of the whites only they have only brought out more plainly than ever before the fact that they are morally and intellectually a weaker race and that even if they should become great land owners, men of wealth and men of education, now antagonism would only become stronger and more sharply defined. Let us say to Bishop Satterles that he is as ignorant of the Negroes as he confesses he was until lately of the Methodists. The colored people of America were so ignorant of recognition, only about their equal personal rights. They do not admit that they are intellectually or physically inferior to any other race; they are only a little bitter in getting started. They have no knowledge of the history of their shall do our best to support, that in intelligence, culture, wealth and genius they may prove themselves equal to the best the world has yet produced. We expect to see men of that blood occupy the land of the South, all conceived and arrogant Companion or Anno-Saxon in assumption and resistance to the contrary notwithstanding. We want to see it; it is descently Christian to desire it. We believe that a successful nation will publish in Africa, producing statesmen, philosophers, poets and orators worthy to be counted beside Homer and Plato and Cicero and Dauro and Shakespeare. Equally we expect great leaders to be more intelligent and hopeful; are no more fantastic than it would have appeared to Roman Senators to see the Anglo shaves become angeli, or to Cassius that the race of which he sold G1400 shaves should produce in Napoléon a mightier compere than him. Liberia and Afro-America. From The Brooklyn Daily Eagle that took to the world Liberia. Liberia, in the next five years and develop that great country in the world. The superintendent of public instruction in Liberia. Liberia's bridges, nails and drums Need many thousand Afro-Ams. With faintest praise Liberia damn's the slow arriving Ama. Unless their woes at home are shams Why don't they go, the Ama? J. A. From The Southern Letter. The number of boys and girls the summer—600 boys and 181 girls Nine hundred and seventy-two thousand nine hundred and ten bricks have been laid during the year by the monastery division. Six hundred and ninety-five parcels were made in the tailor shop during the year. The total amount of work done amounted to $3,217. During the past year forty-six sets of harness have been made in the harness-making division besides the thousand nine hundred and seventy nine dollars' worth of work was done in the division. One hundred and seventy-five thousand laths have been cut and 228,000 feet of board have been dressed in the sawmill during the year. The thousand nine hundred and seventy nine laths have also been sawed by the division. Besides keeping up the repair work of the school, bricklaying and plantering have been done on Tantum Hall, the dining hall and Emery Hall No. 4. Twenty-eight dollars' worth of work was done in the division. Forty-two pairs of new shoes have been made in the shoemaking division during the year and 1,340 pairs have been required, the whole amounting to $24,000. Our readers will remember that two pairs of the shoes were made for Mr. Carnegie. There are 250 students attending the summer night school. Attendance upon graduation condenses to a few students, which wish to make up work in which they are deficient, primarily, but quite a number of students attend it to do advance work. The carpentry division has done $235,000 worth of work during the year, $720 worth of this work having been done for the people in the town of Turkegree. The erection of the State Fair Building in Montgomery, two miles on the river, the Tantum Hall and the extension to the hospital in some of the work done by the division. Besides doing all of the printing for the institution quite a deal of work for the Macon County Bank, the Tuskegee Water Works Company and others has been done in the printing office during the year just closed. About $11,000 worth of work was done in the shop, much more and beer work can be done if the闸管 purchase a much-needed press mentioned in another column. --- Resides the regular work at the school's plants the mechanical engineering division has installed a new 85 horse-power Atlas engine in the dynamo room and a new Cameron boiler feeding pump in the boilers. The students have five-inch and six-inch steam mains have been covered with the Wycof covering: 112 iron beds for the students have been made. The division did $14,996 worth of work during the year. The total enrollment of the school reached 1484 during the past year—1,111 young men and 337 young women. In the Tuskegee town night school 88 were enrolled and in the Tuskegee town cooking school 17. Adding these to the number enrolled in the training school, or children's house, the total reached 36 states and territories and 21 foreign countries. MOR OVERAWED BY OFFICERS. Could Always Be Done If Officers Were Fateful to Oath. From The New York Times. Probably no mob was ever much more "determined" than were the hundred men who wouted them from New Orleans to Hahnemann. From New Orleans to Hahnemann, the purpose of lynching the four Italian kidnapers convicted as accomplices in, but not sentenced to death for, the murder of the Latina boy. They were well aware of the danger they were being stifled by a lenency of the law which they had rather good excuse for considering dangerous to the safety of their families, and they were in numbers sufficiently large for more of individual responsibility for the net they pursued doing. From the carrying out of that purpose, however, they were quickly and easily persuaded by one officer at the head of an army of eight men who met them on the road near the jail. There is no reason for supposing that the soldiers differed in the slightest degree from the members of the lynching party in courage or any other respect exaggerated by the law on their side, and that it was not only their right, but their sworn duty to protect the prisoners by killing as many of the would-be lynchers as might be necessary to restrain their ardor for killing more than once in the presence of the law; the emergencies have yielded to what they called overwhelming force. Whatever these men may have felt as to that they did not yield. Somehow or other they arranged their features in expressions that would begin the moment it advanced. That proved to be quite enough. There was no shooting, because there was no advance, and the determination reached by the determined hundred after their request for a parley had been sternly rejected. Their train and return to New Orleans. The episode is full of material for thought for the psychologist, the moralist, the exponents of civism and inculcation and for the moralist. For the last two groups faced each other two groups faced and each "sized up" the other, one militiaman, a genius of tact or of luck, asked in an indolent drawl the beautifully irrelevant question. Any of you follows a cigarette? Any of you follows a beer? Any of you follows a battle was lost and won lost by disorder, won by law. And the kidnappers? Oh, they are a relatively insignificant detail. Mississippi can invoke the offense they committed punishers, and until it does their legal right to live is as good as that of anybody else. WILL NOT TAX TUSKRGEE Alhama House Vote Down Bill Alamed at Booker T. Washington's School. MONTGOMERY, Ala., July 28.—The House of Representatives tonight voted down a bill to tax the property of the Booker T. Washington School at Tunker Lake. There were several sensational speeches on the bill, one member declared that the school should be wiped off the earth, and that it was the South's greatest curse. Most of the members, however, look upon the school as a great factor in the South, and as a powerful influence for the youthment of the race question. New York is soon to have an Afro-American stock broker. He will not worry his office under his hat, nor has he opened a room in an obscure part of the city, but his office will be in the heart of the Wall street district, right down among the "bulls" and "bears." His name is Robert W. Taylor, who for fourteen years has held the responsible position of financial secretary of the Trustee Institute. His days ago a reporter of The Ace had the measure of reading a neatly printed pamphlet in which Mr. Taylor made his bow to the public, and in which he stated in a straightforward manner the nature of his business; the principles on which he means to conduct it, and the profits that he believes will be realized by those who invest in his advice. No extravagant claims were set forth in the pamphlet. No promise to enrich every one who invested with him fifty or a hundred dollars. A clear, modest, but convincing statement—that's all. This was so unlike the average prospect of an enterpriser able to be funded by the trust of The Ace obtained an interview with Mr. Taylor, which is here with reprinted: "How did you become interested in investment securities, Mr. Taylor?" the reporter asked. "I found myself short of $55 one day. Whether I lit it or it was stolen from me I do not know. I told one of my friends of my hard luck and be advised me to invest in a certain stock. I did as he told me, and within six months I had a profit of $71.58 on an investment ```markdown ``` ROBERT W. TAYLOR of $297. That opened by eyes to the possibilities of investment securities as a means of making money, and as my work for Tuskegee brought me into constant touch with men interested in investment securities. I was not long acquiring a working knowledge of several good investment stocks. This practical knowledge was supplemented by reading various books, and by paying close attention to the financial columns in our best papers," he said. "What are your reasons for going into the brokerage business?" "Primarily, to make money," he answered. "Money, my dear man, is what a worthy need, and my paramount object in this business is to make money for myself and for my clients. And I am going to do it. Failure with me is not even a remote possibility." "Is the opportunity for making money in the business the only thing that appeals to you?" the reporter asked. "Not by any means," was his quick response. "The business itself," he continued, "is a most fascinating one. There are so many factors that affect the market value of securities—factors which sometime are together and other times at purpose to determine what those factors are and what the facto able or unfavorable to and what extent, make the business of successful investing one of the most intricate and absorbing games in the world. I believe that the most intellectual men in Wall street, other things being equal, are the most successful men in Wall street. A plunger may cut a big swath there for a while, but not long unless he pays attention to crop reports, bank statements, or an commerce, political discussions. Each of these factors affect most ultimately the market value of securities, and cannot be so closely watched." Will American confined to Afro-American, Mr. Taylor says. "I think not. In fact, I know not, for I have a client now who is not an Afro-American. You may be interested to read this letter." The reporter said the letter handed him. It was written July 15 in a prosperous city of Western New York and contained this significant paragraph which is certainly complimentary to Mr. Taylor, and must prove gentility to his reader, read your public with much interest. You evidently have a clear conception of the work you are about to undertake, or you could not state your case so simply and convincingly. I believe that you ought to be given an opportunity to show what you can do. I take pleasure in sending my check for $1,000 for you to invest for me as you think best. The reporter read the letter and asked, "What was not dreaming, and as he returned it to its owner, he asked: "Do you think you will get many such letters, Mr. Taylor?" "I am sure I do not know," he answered. "Nothing could have surprised me more than this one, for I did not ask my friend to do this. I sent him my announcement only, that he might know surprised, however, if others follow the example of this friend, for I know some people who have expressed themselves as being much interested in me." "I shall make a special effort, however, to interest members of my race in investment securities, for I am convinced that there are no greater opportunities offered them to use their surplus, money in way to make it earn more money. I have millions of dollars have been made from the investment industry in trial and mining securities, and many of the great fortunes in this country are directly traceable to such investments. Until Neilson takes a more active interest in these forms of investments they will continue to be greatly handicapped in their race for wealth: for the man who gets only four or five per cent, on his money is greatly disadvantaged by the man who gets from 10 to 25 per cent. on his money is confident that I can make at least 10 per cent and I believe that I can build up a large advantage by doing so. There is no argument no atting as actual results, and I propose guevie results." Then we re the man who is soon to enter a Calvarytried by Afro-Americans. He is given, assuming in his manner, to the Calk to him dong without by his candor and by his side he has youth: hence far beyond his casualty wide ac qualification; he has a firm grasp of the details of his business; it is whispered that he has money; but that which is more important than all the rest is the sublime faith that he seems to have in himself. There is no reason why such a man should not succeed, and we believe that he will succeed. ODD PELLOWS' INSTITUTE A LODGE.

COLE AND JOHNSON ON BROADWAY "Shoe Fly Regiment," Written, Staged and Acted by Afro-American, to Open at Bjlou Theatre. Cole and Johnson have become famous the country over as vaudevillians. Now that they have undertaken something more they will be equally as successful. Cole and Johnson have written countless songs, the kind of songs which Americans, and African-Americans, have sung. "The Shoe Fly Regiment" opens with the scene showing the front of a colored industrial school in the South with a cot, a chair, a desk, a mirror, the school, the attaches of the institute, remind of Tuskegee, neighbors and visitors, cause the principals and chorus to dance, the Spanish-American War, when a company of colored soldiers is organized with the principals in the ranks. The scene shows girls anser in a characteristic male and dances. There is a touch of military melodrama, with a battle scene in play. There is a homecoming and a lightened Such is the story of "The Shoe Fly Repent," which introduces to the stage real life the story of a teenage girl, Nassifia and Ophelia, Mia Lumpkins, the Professor, Uncle Jerry, Aunt Phoebe, the janitor of Lincolnville Institute, the junior of Lincolnville Institute, of the characters applauded,出色 and John promises some big song hits, including "Sugar Rake," "If Adam Hadn't seen the Brown Bear," and "Why Do You Love?" An exceptionally strong cast and incomparable chorus will present the play at the Rifle Store, commencing Tuesday. An Marissa McCarthy NEGRO BUSINESS LEAGUE NOTES. The National Negro Business League will meet Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, Aug. 14, 15 and 16 in the hall of the House of Representatives. State Capitol Building, Topeka, Kah. Governor Hoch will welcome the delegates. The social features, aside from the very strong programme which has been written out in writing at Garfield Park on Thursday, a banquet at the Auditorium on Friday evening and a final picnic at "Vinewood," the aristocratic pleasure resort, six miles from the city, on Saturday, Aug. 17. The Southeastern Passenger Association, the Western Passenger Association and the Southwestern Excursion Bureau, have joined in extending rates of one and one third fare on the certificate plan to delegates who attend the eighth annual session of the League. Plans are being formulated in various sections of the League, and are being provided for them special Pullman and chair car accommodations. In this way comfort and privacy will be afforded. The Topeka Negro Business League has arranged for an excursion to Colorado points, so that persons wishing to do so may deposit their tickets and after points have been received, many delegates have expressed the desire to see the rich new country beyond the Mississippi River—the Oklahoma and Indian Territory section—and similar arrangements will be made for them. This session of the league offers an admirable opportunity for a trip to the West at comparatively small cost. The league is one of the most helpful organizations that the Afro-American people have. It has accomplished a great and good work. It was never stronger than it is to day. By its teaching and the annual gathering of its members it has inspired more business enterprise of all sorts than any other influence in the life of the people. The annual meetings are necessary. They bring the business people together and give them an opportunity to match experiences and to feel the strength which the association has in a social side to these meetings which is helpful and inspiring. The way to learn what sort of men and women are having the commercial foundations upon which the children may amass large wealth is to visit the annual meetings of the Business League. Twenty Cents for Ice Cream. WESTVILLE, July 29...The New York avenue Baptist church was well attended Sunday. In the morning Rev. Booker of Tebbond reached, Al. night Rev. Ross of Princeton; from there she will go to Philadelphia. Rev. Robeson is preparing a grand rally to take place the second Sunday in August. Mrs. Hattie Adams of Princeton, her brother, Mr. William Thompson, of Broad street, Mr. Cannon stopped on his way home to Princeton from the Sunday school convention last Thursday. Miss Elizabeth Clarke for Richmond and King William, Va. Projig, is evident in our little town, as well as in larger cities. Rev. Robeson was made to feel it a few days ago when Kitchen and called for a plate of ice cream for his daughter. They refused to sell it for less than twenty cents, ten cents to eat it at the table and ten cents for the cream. There are enough Afro-Americans to have an ice cream bowl of their own.

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. We will make terms to suit the purchaser, therefore be quick and write, or phone.

RPPS [Image of a man in a suit with a blurred face] REV. N. S. EPSN OPENING SERVICES OF THE MERCY SEAT BAPTIST CHURCH Elaborate Ceremonies Mark Beginning of New Harlem Church Sunday, the 21st, dawned bright and beautiful; the brightness of the day beamed amenable to the lived in beauty of the man who attended the open exercises of the Mercy Sea Baptist church, located on 134th street between Lenox and Fifth avenues, of which Rev. N. B. Epps is the pastor for about three months observers have passed through 134th street and have noted with growing interest the erection of a new building, Huddenly, as a magic, magic, magic, the tiring direction of Dr. Epps and his faithful followers, brought to pass a finished basement foundation. On Sunday, July 21, the church was incomplete temple and asked the general public to "Come see what God has wrought," and inspire us to greater achivement. My attention, as an observer, has been called of late most forebaby to the need of a centralizing influence for good upon the vast number of our people in this district. The church, a good, good, good, and moral habitat not observed. Then reading the signs of the times, not at a more opportune moment, could Dr. Epps wrought a glittering light say, life worsens true, 134th street. worship. Long before the hour set for the opening exercise, 134th street was alive with a steady stream of humanity that had on its destination the new church. By 11 o'clock the new church was filled at 11:30 not one more was vacant, and stood during service. At 11 o'clock the Rev. L. R. Tinby, D. D., addressed an appitative audience. Dr. Tinby never appeared to better address the congregation, but brought out with emphasis every thought in the great text, "He buildeth his house upon a rock." At 3 o'clock almost an unprecedented mass of worship gathered exceeded that of the morning. A large number of New York's leading pastors graced the rostrum, and prominent among our business men we found: Councillor M. Leonard Fraxel, Ph. D., L.D., of New York, and Councillor The Rev. Granteville of Mt. Vernon, N. Y., acted as master of ceremonies, and ST. AUGUSTINE'S PICNIC. Annual Affair Given by the Choir Guild Highly Successful from All Sides. The picnic given by the Choir Guild of St. Augustine's P. K. church, which took place at Uimer Park on Friday, July 26, was possibly one of the most successful picnics given for the church. There were about one thousand people in attendance. An attractive feature of the affair was the athletic contest in the afternoon. In the first event, the 220-yard Set and the Marathon Club took part. The prize was won by the Junior Smart Set; Robert Bernard of that club, won three events, the 100-yard dash, the 220-yard run, and the mile run was won by Earle Smith of the Marathon Club. The Junior Smart Set won the one-mile relay. William Pogue was judge; Charles Jacobs, starter; Chadley Chadwick, a member; there was a large crowd on the platform. Professor Walter Craig's band furnished the music, and all had a delightful time, as was the aaron for the between the two clubs. The Daughters of New York, St. Christopher Club, Junior Smart Set, St. Augustine Choir Guild and the Marathon Athletic Club, Mr. J. Hoffman Woods and a corps of assistants had charge of the floor. The great success of the affair was due to the uniting efforts of Mrs. M. L. J. Hoffman and the other members of the committee of arrangements. Manual Training School Reqst. PARKSIDE, July 29 — The Children's Aid Society holds a successful lawn party last week for the benefit of the home. The attendance was good. The committee was: Mrs. A. L. Randolph, Miss Alice Perkins, Mrs. A. Ray, Mrs. J. H Dempsey, Mrs. J. A. Huggs, Mr. Peter Ray, Mr. J. H Dempsey. The Colored Women's Exchange held a watermelon and ice cream social two days before the Manual Training School. The social was a success both in attendance and finance. Rev. T. H. Amos, pastor of St. Augustine parish, adjoining the church Rev. Anderson, pastor of the Cannan Baptist church, returned from Abbury Park last Thursday accompanied by his son Rev. James Burke, pastor of the Baptist church was well attended at all services. Sermon in the morning by Rev. M. J. Goodle, The A. M. E. Zion church had good services Sunday. Club meeting 2:30 p.m. The St. Augustine Presbyterian Church in J. W. Anderson, and in the evening by Rev. T. H. Amos. The pulpit of the calvary Baptist church was occupied last Sunday by the Rev.

Randolph and Miss Lena Blunt visited friends in New York city last Sunday. Miss Bertha Hughes of Brooklyn, Rev. Thomas H. Amos has been visiting in Philadelphia last week. Rev. W. C. Young left this city last Monday for a short stay in Pittsburgh. Ps. Miss Martha Ruffin has been confined to her room for the past week. Rev. Thomas H. Amos were united in marriage last Wednesday, July 24, at the residence of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. John Kline. Harrison street. There was a large number of relatives and friends in attendance. Rev. J. J. Adams indicated. Introduced to an expectant audience Rev. George Sims, D. D., of the Union Baptist church. Rev Sims is his first rich truth clothed in good style as only the "San Juan" pastor can dill with life and make plain every thought presented to his heart. His effort was great and well appreciated. Rev. Hunt next introduced: Counsellor Prasley, whose easy manner of address interested his audience to the collection basket. Prasley freighted with sincerity and every one felt he could be counted on in word and deed. Mr. Prasley demonstrated this thought later when he checked in to the collection basket-check for $50. Lawyer Knuth also spoke encouragingly and bade us godspad. The words of the dylips and perhaps butcher were forth and in God's name do and dare until in the sunlight and shadows we could bring our weary souls to wobble in a finished temple, many more. Every man and woman in the vast crowd felt in their hearts they were philanthropists and in the altarish spirit of the moment must have felt eager for choice of a man of readiness of ready cash on the altar. All present, however, did not have large amounts, but of what they had freely gave. They and those of the day brought with it financial For one week the services have been held at this church each night. The faithful met, and at last the week added into its days a Sunday long to be, remembered, for it seemed one fitting that these three strong Christian character, and a man of God leaving a last word of hope ringing in the ears of those who are to be the salt of this church in the future, and when Rev. N. S. Ephes invited Dr. Drew of Washington to come in. "Macedonia and help him," he called the right man at the right time. Dr. Bruce preached Sunday, the 28th, at 8 p.m., from a most sensational text, and his audience was well pleased and said on leaving the church, "It is good to have N. S. KPPS Tonight's services closes the opening service of a church that, like a rock of Gilharra, will stand for God's cause "will impress and stars doth wane." The week's service, The Rev. N. N. Eps, whom we regard as one of the most promising young divines in New York city, is a man of sterling worth and strong Christian character. He can be seen almost on every age, being been illumined by the Bishop John Baptist church, Trenton, N. J. Rev. Eps, seeing the need of a church, began his labor in Harlem, and organized the above-named church with seven memoirs, two books, and over eight hundred. Although Rev. Eps was busily engaged in building a house of worship, he would not content himself with his former educational advantages, and thereupon entered the public school of New York, later taking a theological course in the Amity Theological School in 54th street. "Ougskewer," CUBANS PLOTTING REVOLT. Senator Delano, in Open Letter, Accuses Manno Parra. HAVANA, Cuba, July 27. A sensational letter is published in *La Lucha*, signed by Senator Morna Delgado, a prominent liberal, who participated in the revolution of last year. He writes: "I am assured that Juan Anso Parra, who recently returned to Cuba, plans to work up the Cuban people and induce them to violence against the provisional government in order that the Washington Government may understand that Cubans wish a speedy end of American occupation and a quick withdrawal of the American representatives. "It is true there is no Cuban laying the liberty and sovereignty of his country who wishes more than I the quick restoration to the republic and Cuba of its own government, but just because I wish that, I give out this information as the best means to save the country from turbulence and Maso Parra himself from trouble. I hope La Lucha will publish an article in a warning to those who might innocently believe Maso Parra's dangerous suggestions." "Nobody can now accuse the American Government of concealed purposes against the restoration of the republic and any disturbance of public order, far from making the Americans withdraw, will be a reason for their indefinite stay." Massa Parra denies the conspiracy, and says he will compose only when he is convinced that Cabrera has been deceived by the Americans and that political and military representatives take that step. His declaration is published in the newspaper La de Back. GUATEMALA CITY, July 27. The Supreme Court of Guatemala has confirmed the death penalty on all those sentenced in connection with the recent attempt to assassinate President Cabrera and who had appealed their cases to the highest court. STILL HAS QUARTER IN HER. Girl Carried Three in Her Mouth and Swallowed Them. Hurrying to the grocery store Tuesday morning, Maggie Crowley, 20 years old, who lives in 239 West 61st street, carried three silver 25-cent pieces in her mouth. On the way up San Juan Hill she tossed back her head and the quarantined slipped down her throat. Maggie fell to the sidewalk, gurgling and kicking. Some colored men ran to help her, but it was not until "Big Ben" Connor, the terror of the Hill evildoers, caught the thin arms and slapped her vigorously on the back that she was afforded any relief. Still half strangled she went to Roosevelt Velt. There the surgeons removed two quarters, but the girl insists that there is another one lost and not in the street, either. Later the X-ray will be endeavor to discover its whereabouts. \ GOVERNOR DROPS PRENTICE BILL. Primary Reform Measure Distinctly Favors Those of the Party in Control. He Finds. ALBANY, July 29. Despite the appeals of Hiebert Parsons, president of the New York County Republican Committee, Governor Hughes let the Prentice bill, providing for an official primary ballot in New York city, die among the unsigned thirty-day bills, the period for whose consideration ended at midnight. "On examining this bill I find that it contains provisions which I cannot approve. PRATHERNAL NEWS. Social and Secret Society of Panasonic Have Duy Meetings. FANRATIC, July 30.

On Monday, July 30, the old folks home rally, preparatory to the annual convention, at Richmond, will be held at Hackenmack at the Mr. Olivet Baptist church. Last Monday week Meers, Hazzard and "This bill in its preferential provisions for nominations by district committees and for the use of an organization, or district committee column on the ballot, distinctly favors those of any party who who nominate officers not put upon an even footing. Instead of encouraging care and self-reliance in voting, the proposed form of ballot makes it easy to dispense with discrimination. It is open to the objections I have urged to our election ballot, and its adoption as a feature of a plan of primary reform I regard as a serious obstacle to the success of keeping in view the end to be attained and we should proceed in a consistent manner." The Prentice bill provided for an official primary ballot, to be issued by the Board of Elections. The ballots were to be numbered serially with stubs likewise numbered. It was declared in support of the measure that it would tend to prevent ballot-box stuffing at primaries. Lately, however, considerable opposition from Governor Hughes, especially from John J. Murphy, secretary of the Citizens' Union, who declared it would tend to prevent any independent movement within party lines. CURRY INSTITUTE Seventy-five Acres Purchased for Exten- tion of Institute. URBANA, O., July 28.—The foundation for a larger Curry Institute was recently laid, when a 75-acre farm located four miles south of this city was secured with the intention of ultimately establishing the institute upon and developing so far as is possible in the north-an institute, much after the likeness of the famous school at Tuskegee presided over by the famous Booker T. Washington. The Curry Institute may be established there, but may be granted this year text, but, nevertheless, that place is to finally be the permanent home of the institute. Some time ago Judge E. E. Cheyne and Edwin Hagenbach, acting for the executive committee, of the Curry Institute, purchased seventy-five acres of the Dallas land through the Downs & Rice agency, paying $80 per acre for the same. Since that time they have held the land, pending the return of Mr. Curry and a meeting of the executive committee, Prof. Curry returned from a southern lecturing tour and the committee met and unanimously agreed that the institute should take over the land. Therefore, the tract will be farmed and the proceeds garnered while the usual land is left behind by the Curry Institute, for which the land was bought, will continue in its present location in East Water street for some time. The purchase of this land and the decision to eventually establish the Curry Institute on the same marks the dawning of a new day for that institution.
