IS OF SOUTHERN FAMILY
On Fame's Eternal Camping Ground Their Silent Tents are Broad and Glory Marks with Solomon Sound the Bivouac of the Dead.
WASHINGTON, August 29.—The death of General William Birney in this city on August 14, at the age of 76, will illuminate family illustrious for achievements and deeds of valor, and especially for the tenacity with which they held and the courage with which they defended opposing conditions. His death also recalls the fact that the very first anti-slavery movement began at the South near the beginning of the nineteenth century and that the Birney family was among its strongest expo-
It seems strange in looking back to the past, or indeed in contemplating the present, that Alabama, North Carolina and Tennessee should be considered the early anti-slavery crusade; yet Benjamin Lundy and James Gillepie Burke, his sons, and others attest this fact. The late General Burley, who had made Washington a slave state, should to the left the faith of his father, and stoutly battled for freedom throughout his long life; not only the freedom of the body, which he lived to see accomplished, but also the freedom of the mind, a consummation still to be fought
Born in Huntsville, Ala., in 1819, he moved with his father at about the age of 14 to Kentucky and later to Cincinnati, where he witnessed the efforts of his paper, Cincinnati was, perhaps, the most pro-slavery town in Ohio, and the efforts of the elder Birney shared ultimately the fate that overtook Lovejoy at the age of 18. Birney was a courage of young William Birney, to whom physical fear was as unknown as moral cowardice, that the printing establishment occupied destruction at the printing press, and that occasions before it was finally thrown into the Ohio River. At one time, in the absence of his father, a mob assembled for the purpose of destroying the printing press, with a number of rifles, the boy of sixteen defied the mob, threatening to shout down the first man to cross the threshold. The mob prudently retired. Some of the men who attended a meeting to plan the suppression and destruction of the Birney crusade against slavery. While the meeting was in progress young Birney himself appeared, insulted by the men who addressed the chairman, who did not know who the man. He was invited forward. Accepting the invitation, he made known his identity and calmly and patiently obeyed the intention of the Birney to continue their work and to resist lawless interference. His manner and courage captivated the audience and nothing at all done later, however, the abolition paper and press were thrown into the river.
When the Birnies moved to New York the father became secretary of the Anti-Slavery Society and young William Birnies became the chairman of the Manhattan Association of North Carolina which had been formed in 1816, and in the succeeding ten years, numbered forty-five auxiliaries, and carried the anti-slavery crusade through that State, having many support but not much resistance but the resistance with which it met was determined and waxed violent. Nat Turner's insurrection in Virginia, however, bounded the death knell of Southern anti-slavery legislation. The check there was made by the governor and it was as secretary of the American anti-Slavery Society that James G. Birney of Alabama contributed his greatest services to the cause. Twice he ran for President on the Free Soil ticket, and in 1841 he was attributable to Birney's candidacy. Birney having polled 622,863 votes. The result was the election of Polk and the annexation of Texas. The same result might have followed the election of James G. Birney in 1844 his position on that great issue uncertain, and it was fortunate for the cause of freedom that the result was as it was. In 1845 William Birney, having completed his studies at Yale and having been admitted to the bar, returned to Cincinnati to practice law. Later he went to France, where he spent six years studying the country and its language. He became professor soother and was appointed professor of English literature in the University of Bourges.
THE NEW YORK AGE.
not able bodied enough for service they were set free. This would have been high-handed enough in rebellions States, Maryland and, order, Jackson Maryland. It was therefore dangerous and likely to embarrass the government. A number of planters protected to the War Department against his course. Secretary Stanton became alarmed and ordered the planters to once to Washington. Mounting his horse he rode to Washington, not knowing the cause of his sudden mummies. Stanton had calculated that about fifty slaves had been killed and he asked and was informed that they numbered about three thousand. Stanton was amused and informed him that he would have to set himself, straight with his weapon, and be burned by Birney called upon Mr. Lincoln and told him as he had told Mr. Stanton that his orders had not stated that he was not to enlist slaves, and as they were able and right to fight for the country their freedom could not be allowed them.
This was the first attempt to organize United States Negro troops. Several regiments had been formed before, this by some of the States, notably by the General Binney was made colonel of the Second United States Negro troops, and was later promoted to the position of brigadier-general. Soon afterwards he was made brigadier-general of Florida and a little later, with Grant in Virginia, taking part in the siege of Richmond and Petersburg, and the pursuit of Lee's troops to Appalachia from the Negro troops organized by him rendered heroic and warful service.
A few years ago, General Birney commenced a history of his command of the Negro troops, but his advanced years and experience during the war him from completing it, a private conversation he was wont to discourse enthusiastically about the sheer courage and fine discipline of those soldiers of Uncle Sum. The publication of his incomplete memoirs would be a valuable contribution to the history of the Negro troops.
General Birney made Washington his home after the war, where he engaged in practice of the law and in prosecution of the capital. As president of the board of school trustees he rendered the district invaluable services and took a deep and abiding interest in the organization and administration of the schools of the city. One of these schools is called the Birney School. Whether named for him or his father it is a fitting tribute to a family services of which the prize was so eminently conspicuous.
Freedom of thought, and especially freedom of the human mind from creed enslavement, engaged the thought and labors of his students. His methodological work made it necessary for him to content opposing views, and some of his best work was done along this line. The recent struggle in France between church and State was a result of Owing to his intimate acquaintance with French life and institutions, he was able to write luminously of the context, although he supported the cause of France against the church. Generous support an eminently successful and moral life. J. I. Lovey.

Mr. Bogan has created a commercial atmosphere that has given us the Virginia Beneficial Insurance Company, a company with a history of 0.001 million State's treasury, and the Home Building and Loan Association which is an indispensable commercial institution for the material progress of the Afro-America community. The organization's genetic secretary is always on the alert; he is unassuming, remaining in the background when others are seeking honors, awards, and recognition. Hisngular success is assured. Hence, this协会 in a city made up of all classes of people, is in a large measure helping to solve the so-called race problem. The fall campaign will make this association an ideal club for the young men.
Norfolk is a fine field for hustling young Afro-Americans. Wages are good and conditions have made opportunities for young men with the ability to make a decent living. Masters, Cooper and Jones, two Pennsylvaniaans, who are not afraid to venture, have recently bought the Palmer House and are giving Norfolk a first-class Afro-American Navy. There young men are help to help build up a great commercial center for industrious people of color. Norfolk can boast of having the finest equipped Afro-American drug store in the South. This store and modern brick building is owned by Dr. Joseph K. Bean, who has been intelligently prepared for his work and who believes in spending his dollars to give the man of color native ideals.
The beautiful home of the surgeon, successful lawyer and public-spirited citizen, Attorney Eugene Diges, when completed Mr. Wells, an Afro-American contractor, has built some of the finest Afro-American houses in the South. Dr. L. H. Reynolds and his coworkers are working diligently to the general conference of the A. M. E. church, which will hold its sessions in this city next May, comfortable, as if they were at home. Mr. John's A. M. E. church when completed will be as fine as any in the connection. Dr. Mosse, the able pastor, and his officials and congregation, should justly feel proud of such a structure. At last has Mr. Jackson been appointed shop. Mr. James Jackson, the popular owner of this tonorial parlor, is another of Norfolk's business young men; he has valuable real estate holdings, and he is the owner of a beautiful house in this city. The natural advantages of Norfolk bring commercial houses into direct touch with other States. The capitalists of the country are building their homes in the short time Norfolk will become a great manufacturing center. Let the Afro-American business men of this section combine their money, build factories, float the capital in the economy, and spend dollars in other sections of the country are ready for you to use.

WICHTA, Kan. August 31—The mayor of Wichita, Ken., John H. Graham, when he discharged Police Officer William J.

The Republican party under Roosevelt has proved faithless to its pledges. If it is imminent opposition to tooth and teeth, we are going to fight. We want an effective civil service bill in every Northern State. We want improved traveling facilities and we want to force the service of colored men on the juries of the Negro community going to gain our ends. We will organize and promote our cause by bobbies, by civil cases and by literature.

YAZOO CITY, Miss., August 29.—In keeping with the record in most of the large towns in Mississippi, Yazoo City abounds with prosperous and well-to-do Afro-Americans.

COTTON GROWING IN AFRICA.
Krypt Produces Annually $30,000.
Krypt is in So Fine as to be Climbed
by Krypt.
A writer in The New York Sun says: "India now produces some 3,000,000 bales of cotton annually and Egypt some 1,200,000 bales. Egypt produces cotton of textile materials by itself. Moreover, the supply is limited, and it is within a few years that a dam has been built in the Nile at vast expense to increase the area of cultivation by increasing the area submerged in the annual rise of that water. The statement that *Asin* and *Africa* produced cotton centuries before anybody ever heard of America." Perhaps we can both agree that *Asin* and *Africa* produced cotton Columbus. The fact that the cotton famine during our Civil War, when cotton sold as high as $1.50 a pound, failed to increase permanently the cotton-growing area of *Asin* and *Africa* outside of India, to stimulate cotton growing on those continents since then have met with such discouraging results that the general cotton trade of Launchsea declines to support the enterprise, should be conclusive, wants cotton by the million bales and can find it only in our Southern States."

FROM THE HOUSE OF THE TRUSTE.
Tennessee Bank AGENT, inscribed with incidents of human interest after a reception by the State, city, and cutture, registries of cree or chieves as generous and complete as one could wish, the organization of Negroes of the incarceration of Booker T. Washington, known as the National Negro Business League, has met for three three days in this wide-street, hustling city of the southwest. It has been one naughty business. The magnetic Tundragon. The business sessions of the league have been held in the Hall of Representatives in the State capital, the use of which was donated by the State, while the president's great and sigle pokes a handsome new auditorium donated by the Chamber of Commerce.
Ask from this most generous and impartial reception there have been three features of this business men's convention conspicuous and remarkable. "First, he must be mindful to mind, one of the most significant and important addresses of his entire life. In a speech or characteristic energy and earnestness that thrilled the great crowd, he must be mindful to mind, financing measure an to Negro rights and privileges and opportunities. In a great burst of eloquence that threw the vast assembly into a pandemonium of cheering and applause he declared that he must up a single right guaranteed to him by the Constitution. After the Negro has done all these things, "acquiring property, education and character, he continued, "he is not seeking to dominate over others in society, but he is seeking to merge with others in strictly social matters, where he is not wanted or asked, but he is asking that in every community and State where he resides that equal justice shall be meted out to him in the courts and elsewhere and that his family and property shall be protected by those who administer the law."
It has been the privilege of the writer to attend many Negro gatherings and conventions, but, he has never attended from which he has come with such definition of progress and achievement; with such insignificance and assurance of the future of his race, as he has coming from the long, rest thoroughly interesting sessions of this convention. As I have sat meeting after these, after day listening to these business men, the number of whom are an impressive in appearance as can be found in any political assembly. I have unconciously forgotten that their race's future could ever be in doubt. In fact the delegates themselves the second feature of their convention.
They are farmers, merchants, doctors, lawyers, bankers, contractors, undertakers, in short, every branch of business profession and trade among the Americas, able men and women come from almost all the states Union from Washington to Florida and Maine to California. Two of the most interesting men at the convention, in fact, were a real estate broker from California and a wealthy lawyer and business man Owens, from Los Angeles young black man, Owens, from Los Angeles young black man, as a harvest hand, after finishing his schooling, at a dollar per day, and now, after a lapse of less than twenty years, is a well-known member of his city's Chamber of Commerce and is the city's private estate broker, with a fortune valued between a half million and a million dollars.
Negro after Negro who has actually succeeded as this one booker Washington has introduced to the convention and the white and black citizens of Kansas and the Negro has done and can do. This he believes to be the most powerful and effective argument against race inferiority and oppression. As he would say, this "inch of real progress" revealed "is far more important than the Negro has done and can do." This he believes to be the most powerful and effective argument against race inferiority and oppression. As he would say, this "inch of real progress" revealed "is far more important than the Negro has done and can do." From Kansas the most interesting figure is Julius G. Groves, the far-famed "Black White Potato King" of Edwardsville. This Negro is the largest raiser of Irish potato farmers in the United States. State Negro Business League and of the Kansas Negro Farmers' Association. He began to work in 1879 on his arrival in Wyandotte Co., Kas, as a farm aborer at forty cents per day. By a dimention of dollars he although not a sufficient frugality, he soon had a sufficient saving to buy some and begin farming for himself. Since then his rise has been continuous and phenomonal until to-day, it is said, he is worth not far from million dollars although not so much, assuming farmer a statement to his wealth. However, he owns over forty square miles of Kansas land, or to be exact, twenty-seven hundred acres. His home farm of Kansas has a valuation of $50 per acre. In addition he owns over two hundred acres of valuable productive land in Gove County, Kas, and numerous bank, real estate and corporation interests. A son of Negro farmers, he is an educational College and is now in immediate charge of the farming, while the father is devoting much of his attention now to pure-bred stock. Mr. Groves is a man of only forty-eight years, of an interesting business personality, and that he has not reached the goal of his ambition yet.

Another leading constituent was the "Bureau of Negro Towns and Communities." This brought both an author intermingling and usable personality, as well as community, to Negro towns of the state. This prosperous community in the state country has an exclusive Negro population with a regularly organized city government and a great many possessors and another is in the process of organization, representatives from other Negro towns, such as Boney, I., A., and Dutton City, 10., reported equal property for their communities. The town population in the last four years, and has on record only one case committed in that time. In Dutton the population is 6,000. Dutton towns have a full staff of colored city officials, although the latter, Dutton, Dutton, were not represented in their representatives are in any way to be believed, they have all passed the experiment stage in their career. An addition, mention of whom cannot be counted, is that no industrial and popular manag- Negro, William T. Vernon, registrar of the Treasury at Washington, D.C. The silver-tongued orator tarried his life in the Nation, with his declarations of hope and purpose.
In one way or another it would appear that all of the more than two hundred delegates in attendance have succeeded according to all standards of success. I have negro presents a degree with but little interest in the wealth represented by four, five or six figures. Many other delegates in the convention whose careers are just as notable and interesting as these mentioned and who began their efforts as delegates in the convention might be mentioned. Among these might be named the venerable negro Negro judge, Ammon W. Gibbs, and the United States Land Receiver, J. E. Bush, both of Arkansas; George W. Gross, the very successful Negro Colorado; S. Laine Williams, the Negro magistrate of Chicago, Assistant District attorney Jamison of Swain County, Kansas; Gilbert Harris, thewig maker of New England and Mrs. Belle Davis, the widest caterer of Indianapolis, whose catering establishment alone is worth $200,000.
Without question the third feature of the convention was the spirit, the enthusiastic, optimistic, loyal earnest spirit of the delegates. More than the loyalty to the race and Booker T. Washington, the loyalty to the president, is a Washington man to the core, one delegate expressed it; more than this loyalty of spirit has pervaded the convention since it first gathered. At the first session after the addresses of welcome speakers, the executive committee, chairman of the executive committee and editor of THE NEW YORK AUZ, the best Negro weekly publication in the country, rose to remind the delegates that they were "in the land of the sainted John Brown of Ossawatonic and sugared to invoke the spirit of antislavery upon the assembly." Rev. Bishop Grant of the African Methodist Episcopal Church proposed the singing first of "John Brown's body." Someone struck up the tune and the whole audience spontaneously took to the stage to invoke Negro heart as "Jesus, Lower of My Soul." Such was the impression of the song and the bishop's prayer that followed, that never since has the league been able to free itself from the spirit of antislavery. Again and again evoked the spirit of the delegates in the speeches of the delegates as well as in that of the president.
As an executive the great man of the South is diplomatic and tactful, firm and positive, yet witty, and to a judicious measure indulgent. And yet he makes the most of his position, and the tenors of financial import. For these reasons this well organized body of business men transacts its business with almost clock-like, precision, but this in no worse minimizes the interest of the meetings, but that the league occupies reasons that the league is gaining. It is important and its hold upon the Negro race. Despite the distance to Toppea, the railroad rate difficulties and the size of this convention city, this session of the league has been in many respects the most successful of the members were enrolled this year than ever before. Twenty-six delegates from all parts of the country paid their life fee of $5 and became thus enrolled. This is the eighth session of the league, which was held in Washington in 1800. Next year the convention will be in Baltimore.
While this league seeks the industrial development of the race, it in no wise concludes injustice and oppression. Neither does it address the social status or social status of the race neglected. In the words of its president, all of these considerations have a place, and a rightful place. But it leaves those to other organizations, believing, however, that the "Negroes must be the prime movers" in their own economic factors.

New Automatic Piano Invented in Richmond
Arrangements Completed for 27th Annual Session in Richmond—An Industrial Institution Opened—Shrimers to Meet
RICHMOND, Va., September 3.—The American Whistler is the name of a new musical invention, which the inventor hopes to put on the market by the middle of next year. The instrument, which has all the appearance of an upright shaker, is a musical member as a piano, with a slightly different board. The inventor is the Rev. James O. Early, Jr., of Richmond. Mr. Early has taken care to secure patent rights and is now proceeding to interest Afro-American capitals in his invention to the extent of owning a stock company to build a factory for the manufacture of the instrument.
The Jamestown Exposition is attracting Afro-American visitors to this city from all sections of the country east of the Mississippi. The hotels and boarding houses are good spenders, well behaved and orderly. Miller's Hotel is the principal headquarters for the traveling public and the lobby is always filled with strangers. The visitors with whom I have tallied express much surprise at the prowess of the American people of the city, and the cordial relations that exist between the races.
They all speak in highest praise of the Negro exhibit at the exposition and highly command the work of the Jamestown New York museum, to whose uniting work the exhibit is due. The exposition is an advertisement for our city, as the tourists either stop over in Richmond going or returning, or the visitors stop at the Rev. S. J. Turner of Brockton, Mass. The Rev. Mr. Turner is pastor of Lincoln Congregational church of that city. His visit to the city was for the purpose of the enterprise and business ventures of the Afro-American people for public service. He brought his camera along with him and made snapshots of our business houses, churches, and schools. New York Age, of February 12, 1898, containing a correspondence from this city as to the progress of our people was a medium by which the gentleman sought additional data and useful information.

The local committee having in charge the housing and care of the great gathering of True Reformers that will assemble in their twenty-seventh annual session, have about perfected every detail, and it is safe to say that the accommodations will be all that the visiting delegates and the members of the committee must be harmonious as throughout True Reformer Day at the Jamestown Exposition, which has been set for Friday, the 13th instant, promises to be a record breaker in the crowds that will go down from the street to the courtyard, the charge of a committee with Attorney J. C. Robertson as chairman, which will insure a careful oversight of ladies going down without escorts. It is known as Christ's Mission Workers has acquired a communal building at 516 North Third street, and have opened up an industrial home and nursery for women and children. The work is in charge of Mrs. R. V. Crawford and will be filled to fill a great need among our people.

A. Pertinent Question
From The Omaha Enterprise,
Vardhaman's Negotiating did not elect him to the Senate. Are the people of Mississippi to be ashamed of this demagogue?
THE NEW YORK AGE: THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 5, 1907
BENOP SMITH HAS FUN
Smiles and Jibes the Monarchs Living on They Rise.
JERSEY CITY, August 31—This Nation has no truer friend than the Negro.
Ren Tillman says he wants to debate the Negro question with Senator Foraker.
Ishaw! Forker would wipe up the earth with him.
The Knights of Pythian, of which Mr. S. W. Starka is supreme chancellor, is not holding its biannual session at Louisville. The National Baptist Convention, which will meet in Washington September 11, has engaged Dr. Booker T. Washington to address it in Convention on the 15th. The American Baptist Association of Tappantown, N. J., two weeks ago some rude white scams cut the rope holding the tailboard of a wagon and a pile of lujonic watermelons rolled down the hill among the pluckers and were devoured. The women, whom the National Baptist Union cost of $1400, have purchased a six-acre tract on the Beining road near Washington, on a hill, having a building of eight rooms, a large stable and an orchard, for a Woman's Industrial Training School. It is published in the Washington daily papers that the Cosmopolitan Temple Baptist church. Rev. Simon P. W. Drew, pastor, has purchased the Northwestern Presbyterian church on N street, between North streets, N. W., and it will be handsomely remodeled by Lankford & Brother.
At Pottstown, Pa., last week, Louis A. Wells, a stalwart Negro, accidentally fell down fifty feet from a stack at the Wickfort wurmace and landed head first on the ground, and suffered a slight hurt. Let old Tillman debate that with Varduman instead of Foraker and tell why he was not killed instead of slightly hurt.
Having disfranchised the Negroes, the Wickfort wurmace in Norburg, A. refused to allow Abraham T. Merchant, to register, because he could not make the application in English in his own handwriting. Possibly if he could have sworn that Abraham, whom he seemed so nightly, was his "grandfather," so that he descended from the Tribe of Levi, he might have "pussed muster."
The Hartford (Conn.) Times says that the following advice which Booker T. Washington gave to a Negro organization in Washington, once recently that Civilization, soon ties in, that continually whines and complains, is "good for everybody, no matter whether his skin is white or black or bronze; that "the man makes the most of his opportunities and has a good side, even when things aren't altogether to his liking, is the one that gets there."
The Negro soldiers are making no entrance to "shooting up the town" because they are not trained. The Negroes a few days ago ordered that the blankets which had been used previous Negroes be not issued to white soldiers. Negroes had been used blankets the blankets had been thoroughly washed with soap, starched, ironed and aired. kicked like males against shouting on and kicking like soldiers against shouting on and used them at last year's encampment. Will the kicking of the Negro soldiers the same effect on the blankets that white soldiers used are dumped on them?
A case like this in which a Negro is involved is rare and worthy of notice. Would that the country had more governors and women like them willing to help, and the benefit of a doubt, Mrs. Forrest, Goodwill of the nation, young woman upon whom an attack was made near Alexandervin, Va., several weeks ago, Joseph Thomas, alias Wright, a Negro, being suspicioned, arrested, convicted, and sentenced to the gallows lost personally appealed to Governor Swain, the mutation of the sentence of the prisoner to life imprisonment. After this appeal for mercy, the governor took the matter under admission for several days. Having serious doubt of the prisoner's guilt, after examining the facts, he commuted the death sentence to imprisonment. Restraint L.

BALTIMORE. August 31.—The ninth annual session of the National Medical Association, held here this week, presents an inspiring spectacle of advancement in the science of medicine, surgery, dentistry and pharmacy. Upwards of three hundred representatives were in attendance, from thirty States and Territories of Columbia; the latter seeking the highest medical Practically every medical school of sequence in the country was represented. The business sessions were held in Metropolitan Hall, Orchard street, near the avenue, and the auditorium was filled full of guests, the larger occasions. St. John's A. M. E. and Zion Baptist churches were used.
The morning session of the opening day, August 27, was devoted to registering delegates, arranging the body in secrecy, and presenting the professions represented, in listening to the dress of President N. P. Moseley of Philadelphia, and to a consideration of the report of the executive board by Secretary of State, John W. Washington. In the afternoon, judges were allowed to follow: "The Treatment of the Puerperium" by Dr. W. W. Johnson, of Covina; "Syphilis Innocently Accepted, with a legal for Legal Control of the Disease" by Dr. W. W. Johnson; "Syphilis in a Causal Relation to Certain Diseases of the Erys" Dr. M. O. Dumas, of Washington. Then, the papers as follows: "Romance" by Dr. W. W. Johnson; "Beckman, Brooklyn, N. Y." The needs of the Dental Profession. C. C. Frey, Washington; "Clinical Paper on Several Conditions of Bridge Work" W. N. Lofthoff, of Washington; "Membership of hospitals in nearly every city of considerable population in the country.
The evening session at Union Baptist church was largely attended After the invocation by Rev. Harvey Johnson, a welcome was delivered by the Hon. J. Sawmon, mayor of Baltimore, who said there was no mayor to work who had so much to do with human humility as the good doctor, the good dentist and the good pharmacist, their mission was of the utmost import, and he was proud to welcome to the church the special faculty of the South and the so large municipality in the Nation, so splendid anybody of men and women. He bespoke for the association an increasing degree of usefulness as the years go by, and had all gone gold in the service made by Dr. A. Wilberforce Williams of Chicago. Dr. H. Stanton McCarthy welcomed the association on behalf of the local physicians and Dr. C. H. Shephard, of Durham, N. C., responded. Durham was represented by Dr. W. H. Wright of Baltimore "Tuberculosis with Special Reference to Maryland"; by Dr. J. W. Walker, Asheville, N. C. on "Diagnosis and Treatment of Poliomyeloma Tuberculosis" and by Dr. W. H. Wright of Newport News, Va., on "Early Identification of Tuberculosis". Mrs. J. C. Cosin rendered a charming solo.
Wednesday morning's session drew an older large crowd which listened attentively to Baltimore on "Intestinal Harm," Dr. John E. Hunter, of Lexington, Ky. on "Liver Lesions as Sequelae of Acute Intestinal Diseases"; "Peritonitis," Dr. John E. Hunter, of Decatur, Ala.; "Appendicitis," Dr. J. C. Johnson, of Pleasign, N. J. The discussion was unusually spirited and entertaining, for the afternoon, Dr. W. E. Conner, of Brooklyn on Miss. discussed Abdominal tumors in the New York School of Philadelphia. Dr. Roberts of New York, "The Proper Care of Children"; Dr. William T. Carr, of Baltimore; "Arthritis Deformations"; Dr. Roberts of Philadelphia; "Reflex Headaches."

Resel, of New York; Dr. M. F. Wheatland on "Nervous Diseases." Musical stations were rendered by Mrs. Roberta of Philadelphia, and Miss Max Jenkins.
During the day some interesting scenes were being enacted at Provident Hospital, where a clinic was held and several important surgical operations were performed. The staff of Provident Curtis, of Washington, Dr. George C. Hall, one of the founders of Provident Hospital, Chicago, rendered valuable assistance in the diagnosis of the cases brought forward. Other operations were performed by Dr. J. E. Hunter, of Kensilvale, and Dr. W. S. Harris, of Baltimore. At Thursday's session the papers were: "The Management of Typhoid Fever," Dr. J. W. Jones, Winston-Salem, N. C.; "Puerperal Lever," Dr. C. R. Alexander, Petersburg, Ga.; "Treatment of Pomonia," Dr. Milton N. White, Philadelphia, with discussion by physicians present.
The report of Mrs. Amanda V. Gray, pharmacist, of Washington, a graduate of Howard and one of the most successful business women of the race evoked many of the businessmen in Washington, who plained that the exactions of their business had kept many of the members of the pharmaceutical section at home, yet eight had put in an appearance in response to the energetic correspondence that had been carried on during the year. Mrs. Lafont, who had been reached by letter, and that the fruit of this agitation would be shown in future conventions of the association. Washington alone had fourteen drug stores. W. S. Lafont, of Washington, reported from the dental section that finding fifteen members when he took hold, he had been able to increase the roll to 150, covering twenty-eight States and Territories; 1,000 letters had been sent out since January 4, last, and as a result of the success in presenting and voting twenty-two dentists. Dr. H. E. Hunter reported the surgical section to be in process of organization. Dr. J. R. Francis, president of this section, and Dr. E. E. Green, of Montgomery secretary, Dr. L. H. Singleton, of Washington, is president of the dental section.
At the afternoon session, Thursday the following officers were elected: President, Dr. W. H. Wright, of Baltimore; Dr. W. H. Roberts, of New York; secretary, Dr. Tuskegee, Ala.; assistant secretary, Dr. I. A. Lawrence, Elizabeth, N. J.; treasurer, Dr. A. Wilberforce Williams, Chicago, Ill.; corresponding dental secretary, Dr. J. H. Fenderson, Baltimore; corrections chemistical secretary, Dr. Philip D. Hill, New York was selected as the next place of meeting, last week in August, 1908. The announcement made by Dr. P. A. Roberts of New York was greeted by loud cheers. A telegram of congratulations to the Constitutional League was read by Dr. Sinclair.
The reception at Lyric Hall Thursday night closed the festivities of the mission, and the next morning a party numbering nearly 200 left by steamer for the exercises. Expansion to witness the exercises in the "Citizens' Day," Saturday, and to take part in the special services at Hampton.

Ghosts of the South.
These are times when William Aristides Pledger is needed in Georgia and Norris Wright Cuney in Texas. Where is the spirit of them anyhow? Has it gone into swine? And where are the spirits of the brave Afro-Americans who made and kept alive Republicanism in the South, which President McKinley and President Roosevelt stabbed to death? Our Southern politicians have become as cur dogs who are ashamed to bay at the moon. That God will smile upon and assist such men to do other than grovel in the dirt of hope is not believed by any brave-fronted child of His!
After Boosercult
What is the matter with the Afro-American man and brother? He who has aforetime allowed himself to be led as a lamb to the political slaughter is now howling all along the line that he will this and he will not this. And who is he, this Afro-American slave aforetime, that he should defy "the Big Stick"? Has hell broke loose in him that he must fly in the face of his Republican creator and look the Democratic hag in the face without being blasted by the horror of the sacrilege?
In Afro-American newspapers and conventions and private conversation antagonism to President Roosevelt because of his Brownsville order, at the instance of Southern marplot, and the sidetracking of Republicanism in his Southern policy, which Secretary Taft has gulped down whole saturated with McEllenny's Louisiana Tabasco poison of sauce, has become so pronounced as to compel all men to sit up and make note. The great and good things the President has done are submerged by the howling sense of personal injury. So flits the mad world after the shadow of the substance of things hoped for and in forgetfulness of the substance of things received.
The latest pronouncement against President Roosevelt and "my policies" comes from Boston, that precious vat of hot air and cinders. The Negro Improvement Society, a thing we never heard of and which may "the baseless fabric of an insubstantial pageant faded," has been holding a powwow. The feeling of the body was expressed by its mouth, according to a press dispatch, as follows: "The Republican party, under Roosevelt has proved faithless to its pledges. If Taft is nominated we will oppose him tooth and nail. We are going to fight. We want an effective civil rights bill in every Northern State. We want improved traveling facilities and we want to force the service of colored men on the juries of the South. We are going to enter politics to gain our ends. We will organize and promote our cause by lobbies, by civil cases and by literature."
Now, verily, "to him that hath shall be given and to him that hath not shall be taken away even that he hath". If President Roosevelt and the cost of mankind can solve the riddle of it, will be well for them and the Republic.
Legislating Against Liquora.
The effort to curb the drink habit by prohibition laws seems to be gaining ground, in the South especially, Georgia the latest State to forbid the manufacture and-sale of intoxicating liquors within its borders. Legislation of a similar character is contemplated in Texas, while Tennessee has already joined the ranks of the alleged Day States. In the West, Kansas led the way for prohibition, with North Dakota in the far North and Maine the pioneer in the far East. If this prohibition spasm proves to be of the kind that really prohibits the results ought to be for the betterment of the moral and physical conditions of the communities affected.
Undoubtedly the excessive use or abuse of spirituous liquors leads to immorality and crime in the North as well as in the South. While some newspapers emphasize the close relation said to exist between the saloon and Negro criminology in the South, it must not be forgotten that the equally henious and cowardly crime of lynch law is incited and emboldened by recourse to the same artificial stimulus. Stamp out the saloons and low drinking dens and the cause of law and order would, undoubtedly, be a gainer. But the "speak easy" and "boot-legger" must be allowed to take their place, and
the drug stores need to be placed under strict surveillance. If the prohibition sentiment in the States concerned is hearty and genuine it may be able to stop the sale of strong drink, but the experiment of effecting moral reforms through the passage of laws alone has hardly ever been successful. There must be a popular sentiment behind the law to enforce it. If this sentiment exists in Georgia and the other States concerned prohibition may in time really prohibit.
The President and the Puritan
A careful reading of President Roosevelt's address at the "unveiling of the Cape Cod Pilgrim Memorial Monument," at Provincetown, Mass., throws new light on the many-sided individuality of the Nation's Chief Executive. Analyzing the character of the Puritan, Mr. Roosevelt emphasized his iron sense of duty, and his unbending, infinishing will to do the right as it was given him to see the right. What could more clearly define the predominant characteristic of Theodore Roosevelt, as exhibited in his policy toward corporate interests. That the President is not disposed to take his hand from the plow was shown by the following paragraphs:
"I believe in a National incorporation law for corporations engaged in interstate business. I believe, furthermore, that the need for action is most pressing as regards those corporations which, because they are common carriers, exercise a quasipublic function; and which can be completely controlled, in all respects, by the Federal Government, by the exercise of the power conferred under the interstate commerce clause, and, if necessary, under the postroad clause, of the Constitution.
"During the last few years we have taken marked strides in advance along the road of proper regulation" of these railroad corporations; but we must not stop there. The National Government should exercise over them a similar supervision and control to that which it exercises over National banks. We can do this only by proceeding farther along the lines marked out by the recent National legislation."
There is a strong public sentiment sustaining the President in his efforts to regulate the great corporations. This sentiment grew out of the high-handed methods adopted by the promoters of the trusts in crushing out competition and exacting the utmost penny from the consumer. It was skilfully cultivated and nursed into vigorous life by socialistic agitators and magazine muckrakers. But it remained for Mr. Roosevelt, embodying the executive power of the Nation, to translate words into acts. This he has done through the various departments of the Government and the people as a whole approve his course, despite the efforts of the organs of monopoly to prove the contrary.
Hughes Growing in Strength.
Secretary Taft and Governor Hughes occupy public attention to the exclusion of other presidential possibilities. Secretary Taft, who is an avowed candidate for the Republican nomination, is bound to a doubtful position as to his future because he is the heir apparent of a great name which has wiped itself off the state of candidates three times. By making the Brownville order and the Southern policy of the Administration his own Secretary Taft wrote Ichabod all over the face of his candidacy for the presidential nomination. This fact is cropping out in every direction, like raindrops falling upon parched and withered land.
Governor Hughes, who is not an avowed candidate for the presidency, and who believes in a square deal for the corporation trust, the labor organization trust, and the people, is steadily growing in public favor by his addresses at Jamestown, at Chautauquas and other Summer places for the generation and explosion of political fireworks. He feels saney and reasons logically upon the grave questions now uppermost in the public mind, and the people are beginning to look to him as the most available man to succeed Theodore Roosevelt in the White House. And Senator Joseph Benson Foraker will see it in this way before the end of the chapter.
Afro-American politicians who are staggering in the dark will do well to keep their eyes on Charles Evans Hughes of New York, because it is written in the stars that he will be the next President of the United States. If Roosevelt or Taft gets the nomination the stars will have a heap to say about their election.
Playing to the Galleries.
Playing to the galleries is a favorite pastime of the artful politician when he feels the need of mending his fences, which may have suffered from the braving breezes of a safe and sane public sentiment. We find conspicuous examples of this when Mr. Bryan forces a new issue to the front to supplant the famous "cross of gold" figure, when Bourke Cockran addresses Tammany Hall braves for three hours on State regulation of corporations and Hoke Smith signs a total abstinence law to the downfall of the famous "Georgia Gal in the Fountain."
Horror and surprise, therefore, must have been the portion of those who found the oracular and smug Brooklyn Daily Eagle accusing President Roosevelt of this device of the demagogue! The indictment was drawn with care and deliberation in the course of a leading editorial on the President's course in bringing about a peaceful solution of
the conflict raised between a Federal judge and the Governor of North Carolina.
"Playing to the galleries" has not been one of Mr. Roosevelt's most pronounced ways of reaching public opinion, although the people have believed to be earnest and sincere in all of his official acts. Anyhow, the political leopard does not think he changes his spots. Oh, no; the dear political leopard. And the Presidential election is just around the bend of the year, and the politicians of all parties are beginning to stagger with the jumps.

A little more than twenty years ago, a young lawyer of Springfield. Ill. delivered before the Young Men's Lycum of that town an address upon "The Petitionation of Our Political Institutions." It contains many passages of a curious present timeliness. For example, Mr. Lincoln spoke of the growing disposition to substitute the wild and foreign positions in lieu of the sober judgment of courts" and of "this mobocratic spirit which is now abroad in the land."

A Chicago dispatch says: "Plans for the establishment of an institution for the education of hotel chefs and employees are being made by the International Stewards' Association, now in session here. It is intended to have a college where chefs can be trained and educated scientifically, so that when they graduate they will be ready to run kitchens of hotels. Tentative arrangements have been made with the Winona School of Technology of Indianapolis for the equipment of a department of culinary education." This is not a college for Afro-Americans, neither is it to be established in the South; it is to be established in the city of Indianapolis. Ind., where all the people should be benefited. Several years ago when industrial training was established in the South for Afro-Americans there was a long, loud howl; in fact, some people are howling yet, but in spite of that evidences every day crop out that white people are establishing industrial training schools everywhere.
A measure of real estate values in New York city is furnished by the statement of the president of the Tax Department that the assessed value of land "alone, exclusive of improvements in the city, is greater than the assessed value of all the real estate, improvements included, in the State of Pennsylvania and nearly twice as great as the value of all the real estate, including improvements, in the State of New York outside the city. The assessed value of the land of six-square miles of Manhattan in the neighborhood of Central Park is greater than the assessed value of all the real estate in the State of Missouri, all of which goes to show that New York real estate is a sound investment.
The dismissal of an officer from the New York police force on the charge of cowardice was a harsh but needed proceeding. With all its potent faults of brutality and corruption, the force has hitherto escaped the stigma of cowardice for a generation of men, and it is well to make the fact manifest that there is no room for the yellow streaked in its ranks. The highest rate of pay for such service should at least secure men who are not afraid to arrest a criminal caught in the act.
Immigration Commissioner General Frank P. Sargent spends more of his time traveling about the earth than at his desk in Washington. For a born biometric fireman Mr. Sargent displays a wonderful aptitude for the luxuries his sort bowel against in the Rockefellers, the Harrimans and the Fishes. And why should the Government's immigration business be given absolutely into the hands of organized labor, which looks out for its special interests always instead of the general interests? Perhaps our good friend, Deputy Commissioner Terence Vespasian Powdery, for whom we have great respect, can answer the question.

MR. LINCOLN ON MOB SPIRIT
Equality of Right Under the Law the Heritage of All Citizens Allies.
From The New York Sun.
A little more than seventy years ago, a young lawyer of Springfield, Ill. delivered before the Young Men's Lycum of that town an address upon "The Perpetuation of Our Political Institutions."
It contains many passages of a curious and interesting account of Lincoln spoke of "the growing disposition to substitute the wild and furious passions in lieu of the sober judgment of courts and of this subcocratic spirit in the state." He then recurrent baring of a North at St. Louis suggested this line of thought, which led the orator to those words, now a classic of American literature; he taught in schools, in seminaries and in colleges; let it be written in primers, spelling books and almanac; let it be preached from the pulpit, proclaimed in legislative bodies; and taught in schools, in seminaries and in colleges. And, in short, let it become the political religion of the Nation; and let the old and the young, the rich and the poor, the gracious and the poor, the seated and the color and condition, sacrifice unceasingly upon its altars.
But what cause was there to suppose danger to American political institutions? They had lasted fifty years; why should they be lasted for so long? Lincoln's explanation is of living interest still. Many men had satisfied their ambition and won imperishable renown by suking their all upon the experiment of Republican government. Well, the ex-convict, the formerly caught; and I believe it is true that with the catching end the pleasures of the chase. Men of talents and ambition will continue to spring up. Can they gratify the cunning passion by maintaining the chase? Lincoln's opinion "most certainly" no:
"Many great and good men, sufficiently qualified for any task they should undertake, may ever be found whose ambition Congress, a Gubernatorial or a Presidential chair; but such belong hot to the family of the lion or the tribe of the eagle. That is what Think you these places and you the lion. The lion is a Napoleon? Never! Towering genius disdains a heaten path. It seeks regions hitherto unexplored. It sees no distinction in adding story to story upon the eagle, but in adding story to story of others. It denies that it is glory enough to serve under any chief. It scorns to trend in the footsteps of any proxessor, however illustrious. It tithes but unremarkable object. "Is it pernicious, then, to expect that some man possessed of the loftiest genius, coupled with ambition sufficient to push it to its utmost stretch, will at some point be able to accomplish it." Distinction will be his paramount object, and although he would as willingly, perhaps more so, acquire it by doing good as harm, we that opportunity be able to accomplish it by the way of building up, he would set boldly to the task of pulling down." How did this obscure country lawyer come to appreciate and predict so fully the way of spilling craving and working of Genius?
ARTHUR SIMMONS
A Courtroom, Digialised Soldier of the Nation.
From The New York Sun.
Arthur Simmons, for nearly forty years a member of the whitehall of the President's house at Washington, was one of the few remaining types of a class now rapidly vestigating and never to be renewed, or indeed replaced, from a stage in North Carolina by a stage in New York by the example of the masters and the mistresses to whom destiny had assigned him. "Arthur" developed through the evolution of that incident into the most exacting and most radical of aristocrats. This was the period of the standard of wealth, gorgeous riment and the noisy ostentation of official power. On the contrary he clung to the old models and methods of appraisement and community as a simple antiquated philosophy as a simple a gentleman in poverty as in affluence.
He isolated Lincoln as one of nature's noblemen who had the grand air despite his ill-fitting clothes and his awkward demeanor. He bowed down before Grant Arthur delightedly every fifteenth of a heart that yearned for majesty of mother and splendor of environment. Cleveland won his everlasting love by one act of kindness to the high priest but impoverished indies who once "owned" Simmons and Washington, the faithful frankish Washington, the faithful old man had maintained a fatt but always respectfully affectionate correspondence. He angered some of Benjamin Harrison's understermpers—hardly the President himself—and was exiled to the Treasury Department. William McKinley kept him on. After the accession of Roosevelt, under the dispensation of Loch, Arthur Simmons met his final and irrevocable downfall. He was removed from the White House to the Department of the Interior, where he met some small executive subordinate, he dwindled into obscurity and death.
So passed a kindly and a faithful soul. Honest, loyal and devoted according to his lights, always courteous to such as he held, and always willing to never really rude to any one, he held his place through seven or eight Administrations, and it may truthfully be said of him that not only did he mistake the panchack for the genuine, but he was rarely care to-day. They are growing raiser every year. "Education" does not recruit the fast thinning ranks; it merely emphasizes the decadence. Arthur Simmons's death marks another milestone on the fast-tracking pathway to a regrettable extinction.

Social, Labor and Political Questions in
South Africa Coming to a Dangerous
From Iswl Lahanta.
At present it is plain that the natives of South Africa are in the position of having no rights which hostile Parliament needs respect for a moment longer than they wish to, nor is there any security for native lands or fronemines. This is especially so in the sister States, and to speak of securing native rights to lands when the right of franchise has been obtained emphatically their duty to beneficially empathize with the unworthy of the consideration of intelligent men. How are native lands and possessions to be protected then? This must rest principally with the natives of the region, and to secure their daily to benefitously empathize with it to its utmost capacity. Energy, industry and thrift are the first requisites, and the second in the banishment of idle speculation on the uncertainties of the environment and supervision must give place to intelligent pursuit of higher standards of life, and the proper training of their children to habitate of sobriety, industry, commerce and agriculture, well as the young must work, and mutually assist in advancing the general welfare and the future can well be allowed under those circumstances to look upon the people of the European continent men among the Europeans who are becoming disgusted with the chicery of politicians and speculators, and any conflicts that arise on land questions will be ultimately involve this country in trouble. Whites as well as blacks are both involved in the conflict between capital and labor which is at the root of these social questions which must if not care, be resolved. But with this the black man has no need to trouble himself except by active and diligent industry and sobriety to place himself in the best position to stand up for constitutional rights when menaced.
CALLS HERSELF DIVINE
White and Colored Persona Follow
"Black Divinity."
GREENSBURG, Pa., August 20—Bodily declaring that he is a worshipper at the shrine of a Nergess who has proclaimed herself "God," and whom he calls his "Black God," William McKnight, a wealthy merchant of New Kensington, stood before judge Donald Tennant to charge of misconduct with Mrs. Lydia Regis, wife of a prominent New Kensington citizen. After hearing of the weird teachings of her followers, the jury conducted of her followers, the jury returned a verdict of guilty in less than twenty minutes after the case was close. For more than three weeks this strange case was being investigated, it is charged that homes have been wrecked, families disrupted, fortunes and business sacrificed by men and women who call her followers her "children" whom they that they have ceased to live in the flesh and dwell only in the spirit and words them in the spirit to one animate bond may be or what their color.
Faithful in his belief of the teachings of the big black woman before whom he married, many months, William McKnight, husband of defended it all alleged relations with another's wife by declaring that he lives only in the spirit and that the "spirit" shall be forever held by the "Black God" who anneal it all. This peculiar sect has its headquarters in a house in Murtland avenue in the heart of Pittsburgh's East End residence of McKnight, the Sunday the faithful children of the black church whites of both sexes, assemble early in the morning and mingle until late at night discussing their weird "revelations" and communing with each other as "spirits" in the land of life and material things.
Mrs. McKnight, after three years' effort to persuade her recent spouse to forsake his strange beliefs, has sued for divorce and her husband for possession of his property.
Mrs. Regis, who is named as correspondent in the McKnight divorce suit, has sued for divorce and her husband for alienation of his wife's affections.
DENTAL SURGERY.
Prominent Dentists Who Have Succeeded in New Jersey.
NEWARK, August 25:—The practice of dental surgery in New Jersey within recent years by Afro-Americans has developed to the extent that those who have located within are finding their fields of operation a lucrative investment. It was not long since that Dr. John L. Ballard, of Orange, had the singular distinction of being the first in his profession to cater to both races, and to whom he has been devoted. Of being the first of his peers to bemitted to membership in the State Dental Association of New Jersey. But as in the evolution of all things, Dr. Ballard's success, because of ability, charisma, and citizenship in the welfare of his new others, have followed in his wake, and the colored citizens can boost of five dental surgeons in nearly cities of the State, all of whom are men learned in their art, some having the opportunity of practical work in the laboratory before their college courses began.
Three years since Dr. Wendall P. G. Weling, a former resident of Brooklyn, began his practice in Newark, and has staged up a large practice among students of the University of twelve years prior to entering college in one of Brooklyn's most prominent dental parlorists had given him much knowledge to build upon. That his success has been greatly purchased one of the finest residences owned by Afro-Americans in Newark, on Weight street, a prominent locality, and has entered into partnership with Dr. William. H. Sutherland in position with the Board of Appeals well, Dr. William H. Sutherland has recently passed the State Board of Examiners and received a high compliment from the secretary of the board, Dr. Charles M. Meker, for his proficiency in the class. He is a classmate of Howard University, class 1906, and takes a deep interest in the future of the young men of his race. Dr. R. Wormley, of Plainfield, has also written a model confidence in his town and enjoys a modern practice from the surrounding localities.
Dr. Robinson, of Jersey City, has also been spoken of as a young man whose devotion to his profession and ability in the arts has led him to him a successful clientage. Thus he has surgery made a place for young professionals whose logical conclusions are that health cannot be maintained in its highest degree without good teeth, and demonstration coupled with physical and emotional training has come out to its final analysis as cause effect, the citizens of New Jersey should have no rush to rush to those dental magicians who cause gold and ivory to spring up into waste places, and ill-health and ill-health or stumped or made barren bothered to beautiful grinders.
STICKING "THE BIG STICK"
The Voice of Labor Lifts Up Taft and Stroge Him and the Republican Party in the Mind.
From the New York Daily People.
In his attempt to convince the South that the Negro question, which for long has held it to the Democratic party, is now but a spectre, and that therefore the South should now turn Republican—and Taftian—William H. Taft has delivered himself in Louisville, Ky., of a string of utterances by which the working class of the country can and should take his measure.
No intimately are the Negro question and the labor question related that in hand liged one Taft inevitably handled both. Taft's handling of them should be the surest pledge to the South that he, no more than his sponsor, the indefattable foe of the South, worthy of the support of the working class.
To begin with, Taft entered into a lengthy justification of the increasing disenchancement of Negro voters. He proclaimed that the Negro voters were schizified with equal step: "The Fifteenth Amendment does not require that every Negro should vote. All that it requires that he should not be excluded from voting, that he should not be Negro in educational qualifications, or any other qualifications that the State may lawfully impose as a rule of eligibility for its voters, then he may be excluded, providing similar qualifications is equally excluded."
Here is one wrong against the working class being condoned and justified by another. The argument that the voter should be good; the argument that the voter should have a certain amount of property interest, that he may not recklessly plunge his property into the wrong hands; make these arguments favor of a system which would enable the unschooled and the propertyless to acquire both property and education would be excelsior. But Taft uses them for exactly the opposite purpose. He uses them to support a system which increasingly prevents the working class from accruing property and education, uses them in support of disfranchiscing the Negro, who was brought here by treachery and kidnapping and sold into a bondage that kept him for two centuries at the level of a slave. There is no opportunity to rise to human stature. And in order to make this wrong less glaring, Taft advocates the extension of the working class to the laborer, thereby effectively barring the more unfortunate members of the working class, both white and black, from all political opportunity to overthrow the system of imperial privilege and poverty.
Taft goes on to express the hope that these disfranchised Negro citizens—disfranchised for lack of knowledge and of property, bear in mind—will "under the Washington, become respected business members of the communities in which they live, and when they exercise independence of judgment in respect to political issues, we may be sure that graduation, the right to vote will be accorded them."
Such an example of keen and intelligent statesmanship would be hard to be taken from those who take it to be taken from those lack even that minimum of education and property required by the State for qualification as a voter, men whose lack of these things is to disfranchise them as "undesirable"—those very men are expected to set up shop, and "become respected business men of community"—one was that a sidelight this notion throws on the capitalist's "original accumulations" and "superior intelligence." In another way what a sidelight it throws on the capitalist is that utter it. For Taft doesn't mean the statement, not a word of it. In his very next breath he goes on to show that it is not the capitalist who franchised white to become business men. The future he sees ahead for them is to remain decide wage slaves forever. He says: "The Negro is necessary to be unskilled. The world over to-day there is a demand for labor, and were the Negro to be withdrawn from the South the difficulties undone which would labour can be generated."
There lies the kernel of the speech. Disfranchise the Negro; disfranchise the white laborer along with him; in that way put an added barrier, the political cipation; keep them ignorant and penniless, them and their posterity forever; use them for milk, mine and cotton field. In that way will American capitalism reign supreme, and "prosperity" for all sins, that is the platform of the South as the platform of the platform should array the working class of the South as one man against him.

NEGRO BUSINESS LEAGUE NOTEES
—Lawyer J. E. Hawkins, a propertious and substantive-looking delegate, from far-off Seattle, Wash., made an impression on the convention. His square-topped hat and his distinctive uniform, a different, more difficult State and its boundary resources, closing with a cordial invitation to the league to hold its next session there during the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Expedition was one of the most noteworthy. The Oklahoma and Indian Territory "booth" was the first of the four. M. W. Gay, T. J. Ellis, G. W. F. Wawrone, A. F.

The enrollment of registered delegates in the Bank representing 2N states and territories; registered life memberships, 25.
—The names of Messrs. Booze and Brewer suggested a happy partnership to some awardees, but the fitness of the business in the Bank appropriately engage was marred by the fact that both are test-takers.

The announcement that Counsellor J. D. Wetmore and Rev. C. T. Walker would address the Y. M. C.

NEW HAVEN STILL DYING.
Faithful Workers in the Church Round
Out Their Labor.
NEW HAVEN, September 2.—Mrs. Ann Allston, a highly-respected resident, died very suddenly last Tuesday, August 27 at her residence, 11 Winter street, of old age and incidental infirmities. Mrs. Allston was born 55 years ago in Edenton, N. C. She came to this city sixty years ago and attached herself to Bethel A. M. E. church, Sperry street, where she proved a loyal Christian and an infidel friend. At the time of the split, she went out with the inimitable body, which formed the John Wesley M. E. church on Webster street. There she labored in the cause of Christ up to the time of her death. Mrs. Allston survived her husband twenty years. He left her in comfortable circumstances. The obsequies took place Thursday at 2:30 p.m. from the house and 3 o'clock from John Wesley M. E. church. Pastor Spellman preached the sermon, assisted by Rev. E. F. Goin, pastor of the Dixwell avenue Congregational church. Devout congregants loved him and his loss. The remains were interred in the family plot in Evergreen cemetery. The bearers were Messrs. John T. Williams, David Ferris, William H. Brown and John Rogers.
Mrs. Polly Jackson, a native of Waterbury, Conn., who lived on the hill lock in Orange, near Derby turnip road, for sixty years, died Tuesday, August 13, at Grace Hospital, of heart trouble. She was 81 years old and had been a member of the Dixwell avenue Congregational church over forty years. The funeral was held the following Saturday at 6 p.m. from the chapel of Lewis and E. F. Owen pastor, conducted the services. She leaves a son, Frank Brown of Cleveland, O.; a brother, John Oviot, and a nephew, William C. Sharpe. The body was interred in Evergreen cemetery. Rev. A. P. Miller, pastor of St. Mark's A. M. E. Zion church, Jersey City, N. J., and family spent a few days with friends in the city and were the guests of Mr. and Mrs. Anthony Skinner, of 480 Elm street. They will leave Wednesday for Fairfield, Conn., to visit Mrs. Miller's mother, where she will attend her vacation after an enjoyable trip of three weeks with friends in Boston and Providence. She was accompanied by her daughter, Miss Bessie, who joined her in Boston.

Springfield Audience at St. John's Church Hear Brilliant Artist.
SPEAKING. August 28—On the evening of the 21st inst. the main auditorium of St. John's church was well filled with music lovers and friends of Miss Edna Gordon, when she rendered a splendid and enjoyable piano and song recital. Miss Gordon's ability as a young pianist is well known in our city, but she rendered an agreeable surprise to many in the condition of her vocal solos. Miss Gordon returns to Oberlin College this fall to further pursue her musical studies.
Last Thursday afternoon Forest Park was the place of a pleasant picnic party when a number of Medies Columbia Johnson and Mary Garrett Simpson gathered there as an occasion to talk over remembrances of former days.

Head.
CHICAGO, August 31.—Chicago has sold-
dom been more mirred by a convention
event than it has been, and still is, by
the exhilarating presence of the delegates
from 150 lodges of The Brotherhood of
The Protective Order of "Elms of the
World." They poured into this city,
from every point of the compass, and
they came with such a rush and vigor of
demonstration as to make every one feel
that something unusual was in the wind.
This breasy, disabling and self-sufficient
manner and movements gave us all a
sense of feeling that something distinctly
The local lodge, known as the "Great Lakes Lodge," No. 43, made extensive preparations for the entertainment of the delegates and their friends. The Pelik Theatre was secured as the meeting venue, and the convention was singularly free from contentions and strife. The routine work was transacted with harmonious agreement and the general feeling in that the order has gained strength in itself and won respect from the public. Its large, the annual reports show that the year was the most in the increase of lodges and membership. Thirty-eight States were represented in the Chicago meeting. There are now sixty-five lodges in the order and the increase in membership has far exceeded the expectations of the leaders. The annual ampton. Van. was re-elected grand exalted ruler, as were all the other officers.
The Chicago lodge is about two years old, and in that time it has far surpassed any other fraternal organization in the amount of things done. Not the least of its accomplishments is the purported office of the lodge, which is one of the business of the order. The Great Lakes Lodge is a model of up-to-date methods of administration.
There were two noteworthy features of the Chicago convention, the street parade and the Elks' ball. There were nearly a hundred carriages and automobiles, the procession, and nearly six hundred intruding people on streets through which the procession passed were decked with flags and emblems of the order, and have seldom been so throneled with people as they were on the day that these "Knights of the Antlers" tore down the streets with their fantastic and extravagant display of color, music and artworks; the circus procession was far more impressive than the extravagance of the Elks' street parade.
The Elke' ball almost defies description. Like nothing it has been seen in this part of the country. In the middle of dress, millinery, jewelry display and enthusiasm, it was incomparably the greatest thing of its kind ever seen in the country. The ball was known as Tatternalls, one of the largest assembly rooms in the country. Fully 5,000 people from every point of the compass were there, jubilant, proud and apparently carefree. In this vast enclosure all kinds and grades of people could be seen elaborately costumed and eager, as the occasion was to be the only one in the country. People from far-off California, Seattle, Florida, New England and even from the West Indies were there. It was a handsome and well-behaved, though frankly bibulous, crowd of people. People who seldom or never got to balls, and would not like to have it known that they were there were not the retailers of music, the crowd and the festive spirit boering over all.
From the standpoint of the Elks spirit and purpose, success can be spelled with capital letters. From what was seen and done in those three full days of work and play one is impressed with the feeling that the race is capable of doing great things when all of all the Elks in Chicago have made other societies stand aghast. To outdo what has been done norms a task impossible. It is to be hoped that the virile manhood thus displayed will not disgust itself wholly in pleasure and things merely sensuous. Enthusiasm, loyalty and big-hearted fellowship are essential to this, and for this, I must leave let us be thankful. FANNY BARRIER WILLIAMS
fist on the job and stay there.
From The Portland (Ore.) Advocate
There is a just cause for some of the complaints which are being registered by some of the employees against some of our race. Too many of them cannot be depended upon, for they are untrustworthy and unreliable. The above are some of the charges brought against them, which in many cases are true. The habit of working too hard may be a sign of two weeks in a month ought to be cut out, and learn the habit of sticking to your work. This must be done if we wish to check the rapidly growing sentiment in favor of the Chinese and Japanese as domestics, janitors and porters. We do not mean to say that there are not among us reliable, industrious and steady workers, but nevertheless, it is a fact that indolent and lazy to work for a living, and is a source of much trouble and annoyance and tends to keep those who would go upward from advancing.

WHALTHY WEST INDIANS
A Number of Them Arrive in Brooklyn from St. Thomas.
A considerable number of wealthy Negroes arrived last week on the British steamship Korona, from St. Thomas. Acting Deputy Collector Simmons, who boarded the Korona at Quarantine and took the declarations of her passengers was surprised when he reached the second cabin passenger contingent and found that education, wealth and gratitude reigned supreme among the West Indian voyagers. Most of them were scheduled for addresses in Brooklyn.
A West Indian boat passenger aboard a West Indian steamship is quickly disposed of by the customs man. As a general rule the passenger is able only to "make his mark" on the declaration sheet and then does not understand what the mark is for. The usual ceremonies on the pier last about five minutes as the crew compartment have yet found much to inspect in a shipload of West Indians.
All this was changed when the Korona reached her Brooklyn pier. The colored passengers had not yet finished declaring all they had to declare to Uncle Sam's representatives. Some of them had more than the laws allow to come in free and were later passed up to appraise and examiners on the wharf. There was not a declaration on the Korona that was not signed. Education, in fact, was the feature of the steamer's West Indian passenger cargo and Uncle Sam incidentally took in a few dollars from the wealthy Africans to swell the treasury.
JAPANESE FETE.
Given at White Rose Home for Working Girls a Perfect Success.
A most unique and pleasing entertainment was given at the White Rose Home on Monday evening, August 19, by a committee of ladies and gentlemen. Mine, Marie Jackson Stuart, as chairman, was able assisted by Miss Eva D. Bowles, Miss Williana Jones, Mr. Louis Carter, Miss Mabel Gartell and others.
The building and lawn, beautifully decorated with Japanese lanterns, fans and a large display of the hand of the Mikado. The members of the committee were pretty gowned in Japanese, and presented a remarkably picturesque and charming appearance.
The program presented some novel and attractive numbers; the graceful and skillful club swinging and the charming pose to the music of "Suwanance River." by Miss Eva D. Bowles being, perhaps, the most fascinating features. Mme. Marie Jackson Stuart, by request, sang a solo with her usual excellence of tone and expression. Mr. Louis Carter rendered an enchanting and elegant performance in a pleasing manner. Mme. V. Hunt Scott favored the audience with a solo in her rich control to that gave rare pleasure and elicited ample applause.
Throughout the evening Prof. DeKnight delighted his hearers with music upon both piano and organ, executed in his own masterly style.
The home was well filled with White Rose friends, who did ample justice to the refreshments served after the program.
The association feels deeply grateful to the ladies and gentlemen who so kindly helped with the entire entertainment, relieving the managers of all care and responsibility. It was an artistic as well as a financial success.

A'Big Week for the United Workers' Realty Co.
Address by the president outlining the many ways by which stockholders will receive benefit. He said:
The public often hears of investments, but few take the time necessary to inquire or investigate their merits. Many would make money easier if they would only investigate and take hold of the most inviting and sound propositions offered the public from time to time.
Everyone knows that investments are always the grandest avenues to become wealthy; they are always the quickest when safe. With some of the best enterprises of to-day doing business and making money, don't let this one pass you without grasping it. As one of the most promising of splendid opportunities take hold and harvest the good when reaping time comes.
There should not be a necessity of convincing the public with arguments, for investments have always proven better and safest avenues toward success.
The time has come when we must take hold of enterprises, as a people, and do our best to maintain them, for we find that this is the only way to keep pace with the rapid strides of progress. The bank depositor's money never lies in the banks, but is put out at a goodly interest, making by the transaction more than 25 per cent, while you, the depositor, get only 3 or 4 per cent. per year. It is needless to say that this is unjust, for it is in self proof enough. We do not believe that you can look on unmoved while others are making money without feeling it.
This Company will give you reasonable returns on your money from 6 to 10 per cent; why not put your money to work here?
The Company's investments will be of the best, and always for the benefit of the stockholders. The officers of this Company are all men of good character and good standing. A feature of the business will be to open stores, buy and sell houses, and lots, build houses for those who so desire, and pay for them on installments.
We will operate laundries, employment bureaus and do general, moving and express business.
The Company will start stores in every city where they can get together 25 who will buy 5 shares each. In this way we will soon be able to employ many of our sons and daughters who are now idle.
Now is the chance for any good hustler to get in on the ground floor. This offer will remain open for 90 days only.
If you have some money in the bank take my advice and draw half of it out and invest it in this, your own company: Nothing on earth will pay you as well; nothing on earth could be safer, because you are protected, first, by the laws of the great State of New York; second, by the great income from the many stores in all parts of the United States of which you will be part owner, third, by the increase of interest each year from the large amount of stock sold and with the assurance that stock will increase from three to five dollars each year in value; fourth, by the many positions given stockholders, which will pay from $5 to $20 a week, and you will be entitled to one of the first; fifth, by so per cent of the entire population being working people, who have the power of the world in their hands, agreeing to unite and be one strong body.
Now I ask do you want to be free? If so, stop paying rent to the millionaire, stop buying from the rich merchant, stop being contented for life with small salaries, stop allowing the rich man to use you for his own benefit, and buy stock in the, UNITED WORKERS' REALITY COMPANY.

An interesting incident in Stuyvesant Fish's career as president of the Illinois Central Railroad is being told in Wall street. Mr. Fish got a job for a young man as porter in one of the Pullman cars. The porter, on a trip over an Eastern road, threatened to thrash a man who was annoying a girl passenger. The girl was traveling alone and the man porter was a near relative of one of the officers of the road, and a few days after the incident the porter was discharged by the Pullman Company. The young man wrote to Mr. Fish to let him know that he hadn't lost his job through any fault of his own. Mr. Fish then wrote a letter to Robert T. Lincoln, president of the Pullman Company, explaining the circumstances and notifying him that unless he paid a certain number of hours the Pullman service on the Illinois Central would be terminated. The Negro went back.
Jim Crow City in West Virginia
From the Baltimore Sun
West Virginia is to make an experiment in a Jim Crow city. This city has been laid out near Charleston, the capital of the State, and it is expected that within a year it will contain a population of several thousand. This population will be colored. No white person will be permitted to reside within its limits nor to own property therein. In the midst of this little Africa is situated the State Colored High School. Educational facilities will be ample and there will be electric lights, sewers and a park. The city will be governed, of course, by the Negro inhabitants, and the despatches may the whole State send to interest in the experiment as testing the capacity of the Negro for self-government. It is to be hoped that the plan will succeed and that the Negroes will prove themselves equal to the occasion. Such a success, might help to solve the "race problem" in future years.

She Had But Two
In the absence of his wife and the illness of the servant, Mr. Taylor undertook to help three-year-old Marjory to dress.
He had succeeded in getting her arms in the sleeves and through the armholes of her garments and had buttons] her into them. Then he told her to put on her shoes herself and he would button them. He soon discovered that she was vainly striving to put a left shoe on her right foot.
"Why, Marjory," he said, impatiently, "don't you know any better than that? You are putting your shoes on the wrong foot."
"Dey's all de foots I dot, papa," replied Marjory, tearfully.—Youth's Companion.
Why She Sang the Hymn.
A well-known bishop relates that while on a recent visit to the South he was in a small country town, where, owing to the scarcity of good servants, most of the ladies preferred to do their own work. The tone of a soprano voice singing "Neater, My God, to Thee." As the bishop lay in bed he meditated upon the piety which his hostess must possess which enabled her to go about her task early in the morning singing such a noble hymn. At breakfast he spoke to her about it, and told her how pleased he was. That's the hymn I boil the eggs by; three verses for soft and five for hard."—The St. Joseph News Press.

It has been MANY a DAY since there were such GREAT INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITIES AS NOW. FIRST-CLASS SECURITIES are selling at ridiculously low prices. They will not STAY DOWN. THEY have got to COME UP, and they who INVEST NOW will reap LARGE RETURNS.
If you have $500 or more to invest, let me invest it in Securities which you can lay away for a few months with the certainty that they will advance at least TEN PER CENT. If you have less than $500 but as much as $50, put that amount with like amounts which I have received from other clients and then you will have an interest in all the properties in which the total sum thus received is invested.
A few words in answer to inquiries I have received
I shall not invest for anyone on a margin, for experience has taught me that MARGINAL TRADING IS DANGEROUS. I shall not deal in SPECULATIVE STOCKS, for I do not believe in GAMBLING. I have no stock to sell. My business is in Advise those who have money to INVEST how to INVEST it.
FINALLY, I have so much faith in my ability to give the right kind of advice that I will give a WRITTEN PROMISE to bear half of the LOSSES of any client who invests as I ADVIESE, provided he will give me a like PROMISE to DIVIDE with me his PROFITS.
But, whether you invest with me or not, remember that I am here to serve you. If you wish to know about any stock that you own or are thinking of buying Telephone or Write me.

TWO SISTERS OF MERCY
There are approximately 16,400 dwelling houses in Philadelphia, which are occupied by 82,000 Afro-American people. We are asked to provide persons to each dwelling. Of the 16,400 dwellings one-half are of the characteristic Philadelphia two-story design. The rent of these two-story houses ranges from $12 to $30. A number are owned, and most are rented through the building and loan associations, and most of the inhabitants have a fixed and permanent direct interest in public matters. The palatial home is a rarity, as we have very few of them. The homes are rich and refined domesticity, coupled with inner equipments that make for comfort. The squares, streets and districts outside of the congested districts, devoted to residences, are noted for their home delphinia, mostly easy of access by frequent train and trolley service, are notable for their beauty. Here Frank Thompson, one of our prominent Afro-American builders, is erecting superbly designed, reposeful and admirable homes. His combination of picturequeen natural landscape, a well-designed and harmonious adherence to rural requirements in architecture, and a flavor of the colonial, is attractive, reposeful and admirable. We are also accommodations very high and this is what is forcing us to invest in reality.
At the profession of Sisters held at St. Elizabeth's Convent, Archbishop Rynn stated his belief in the ability of the Catholic church to peacefully attend the attention of statemen and economists is each day being drawn more strongly. In speaking of the race problem, the archbishop said: "Much is said of those who are trying to solve our problems as the sisters describe. Yet the occasion of one splendid Catholic woman, not only to the Indians who are the wards of our country, but her efforts on behalf of these children of Afro-Americans for whose souls our Savior died, is one example of our citizens. But she is only one example of the possibilities of our mother's church. These women who today give up homes and loved ones and who carry mother's hearts in virgin body, are the most valuable of our church that shows no race hatred." Thursday's profession of the Sisterhood was made especially notable by the announcement of the recent formal acknowledgment of the Hope of Africa, the newly established half of Afro-American and Indian children. A number of sisters took the final row of chastity, poverty and obedience. An Afro-American bootlead with an uptown stand found that business was too dull to suit his ideas of prosperity. Finally had his chair and box of tools set up on wheels, with a handle at the back, like a baby's go-cart, while an attractive awning was added to the queer vehicle. Now he contentedly trundles his legs around the North Broad street and says his returns a cash are more satisfactory.
After having spent two fortunes for the education and uplift of Afro-Americans, and being a liberal patron of all deserving charities as long as her mansions were not destroyed, Fitzwater street, died Thursday in the Philadelphia Hospital, a victim of the morphine habit. Through all her life she had been a friend to the friendless, and a friend to the miserable alone, save for the ministrations of an old Afro-American woman. Before the Civil War Mrs. Martin's father was a rich planter and slave owner, near Middletown, Md. On his big estate she was a teacher, a teacher of sympathy for Afro-Americans who clung to the plantation and the old master after they were free. When her father died she inherited a fortune of $100,000, and upon the larger part of her establishment she took an education in training of Afro-Americans and supporting miscellaneous charities tending to the same end. After her funds were exhausted she acquired a second fortune, an inheritance to a Mrs. Gardner. This she used in the same way as she had the first, always keeping an open purse for the relief of all whom she deemed worthy, though her keenest interest was in the work of Afro-Americans. So, she came to Philadelphia and accepted a home proferred by a Mrs. Uphur, who is said to have been a slave of her father. In this shelter Mrs. Martin, one time dispenser of golden grapes, and finally became abducted to morphine. A recluse, her history and deplorable condition became known to but few who had the means and disposition to aid her. These few did what little she could and help could hope to cope with the deadly influence of morphine. The habit got a fatal grip, and her health was that.
pored beyond repair. A physician called in by neighbors had the woman committed by the Philadelphia Hospital, where she died on Thursday. An insurance policy, which will yield enough to give funeral expenses, was found among Mrs. Martín's effects. Officials of the cover of the case said the woman was employed in the U. S. Revenue office in Baltimore, and another relative named Nedleyer is said to reside in that city. They have been notified of Mrs. Martín's death. J. H. GRAY.

Unite Celebration at Springfield, Mo.
$4,000 for Livingstone College—Robert C. Owens of Los Angeles—The Dunbar Monument—Appreciation for Lincoln Institute.
A Tallahassee, Fa., dispatch says: Governor Broward ordered the local militia company to hold itself in readiness to protect George Williams, a Georgia Negro who, pursued by ten armed men in automobiles, mirrred himself to the sheriff and is now in jail here. Williams is charged with killing Marshal Gargell of Cairo, Ga., and while trying to escape from a pose, killing two of the poise leathers. And Governor Broward is the sort of Governor to have all over, and especially in the White House, where lynching the political rights of Afro-American citizens and the civil rights of American soldiers has been made a law by President Roosevelt and endorsed by Secretary of War Taft, both of whom want to be President.
This is the season of the year when thousands of young men from New York and other cities are earning money. It is important that they should be saving some of it. The winter season is rapidly approaching and many of our young men who squander their earnings during the summer suffer during the winter.
Mr. Fred. R. Moore, the National organizer of the National Negro Business League, performed valiant service in building up the Business League in the West during the last three months. His work in Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Missouri and other Western States was largely responsible for the very successful meeting at Topeka.
—One of the most interesting figures at the National Negro Business League was Robert, C. Owens, of Los Angeles, Cal. Fortunate investments in real estate, beginning with a small capital as an option buyer, have enabled him to amass property valued at the enormous sum of $475,000. He is a member of the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce, and his time will have a monthly rent roll of $3,500.
—The celebration of Emancipation Day, August 5, at Springfield, Mo., presented a unique feature. It was in the form of a memorial service. The hundred Negroes attended this dinner, many of them more than ninety years of age.
—Five thousand delegates are expected at the National Baptist Convention of the State of Missouri in the Metropolitan Baptist church, Washington, D. C., September 11-16.
—The cornerstone of the new and magnificent church office to be built by the Negroes of the Metropolitan Baptist Temple, Els., was laid last Sunday. The capacity of the auditorium will be 1,272. It will be a two-story stone structure, Gothic carved style. Addresses will be delivered by the colored ministers of the city by prominent white ministers and bishops.
—Miss Hazel Harrison, of Laporte, Md., a pianist and a graduate of Chicago Conservatory of Music, and who also took a post-graduate course in Boston, gave a musical love-joy to the music-loving people of Detroit by her marvelous playing.
—The colored people of Lexington, Ky., gave their second annual charity ball the title of the Good Samaritan and St. Joseph's, Hospitals and the Orphans' Home.
-By an official order the second meeting of the bishops of the A. M. E., A. M. E. Zion and (C. M. E. churches will be held on Monday, January 10, in Washington, Wednesday in January of next year. The purpose will be to affect a confederation of these three powerful denominations.
-Prof. J. T. Layton, supervisor of Music, public schools, Washington, will visit in Chicago. C. W. whipped received in the musical circles of the City by the Lake.
-Contributions are being received for the Paul Lawrence Dunbar monument, at 222 West Fourth street, Cincinnati, Ohio. Charles Abbot have been contributed, and that chiefly by white people.
-For the first time in the history of the city of Indianapolis, Negroes are being employed at the great Kingman's Packing House.
-Mr. James Ed. Mason, financial agent of Livingstone College, has just secured an additional gift of $4,000 from Mr. Carnegie for the college.
