VOL. XX. No. 40 ACTIVITIES OF THE WEST INDUSTRIAL IMPORTANCE Great Strides Made in Commercial and Economic Independence—Political and Civic Atmosphere Encouraging—School System. LANOSI, Okla., September 16.—The meeting of the National Negro Business League at Topeka last month had at least two very beneficial results. It brought the men of the East and West together into a relationship of a kind which had not previously existed, thereby awakening in them a keen appreciation of the business and commercial aspirations, efforts and achievements of each section; especially opening eyes of the men of the Middle West seated on the wonderful strides which the Afro-Americans of the Middle West and Southwest are making in the direction of commercial and economic independence. The impression, which the pioneer activities of the valley and the plain made upon the men who hug the shoreline was indeed profound, judged from the comments one hears in conversation and from the press accounts since the Topeka convention. But more significant than this mutual respect and apprehension, it allied to it, the fact of what may be termed the discovery by the western men of their own actual progress, business strength and importance. The country west of the Mississippi has always spelled possibility to them, but they little realized the extent to which they have been coming their possibilities and opportunities into real achievement, until they began to compute and take stock of the situation since the stream of immigration began to immulate the prairie and plain the Afro-Americans of the Middle and Southwest, through their representatives had the opportunity of making accurate and systematic reports of their efforts and success to their brethren of the East and to themselves, and therefrom was born the consciousness of organized business efforts on the part of the men of the West. The success of individuals here and there had for some time been a matter of more or less common knowledge, but that so many, are succeeding, and that too, in so many, various lines, of business, is a fact but slightly realized before the era of the great interest and is stimulating inquiry and the commercial spirit in a very perceptible manner. In every Southwestern city or town of any size or industrial importance, evidences of this awakening are manifest to even the most transient observer. Afro-American men are carefully studying commercial and industrial conditions with a view of venturing their talent or capital or both in some enterprise becoming frequent. Among the thriving centers of this section where the spirit is thoroughly arraced are the twin cities of Kansas City, Missouri, and Kansas City, Kansas. Situated at the gateway of the great southwest country extending to Mexico, Kansas City has steadily forged ahead and is easily the commercial metropolis of the Mississippi Valley, the position held by Louis before the construction of the railroad there like a network this vast territory. A score or more of railroads have made it a central terminus and it has thus become to the southwest what Chicago is to the West generally. Such a city will naturally have an industrious, thrifty and strenuous population, no element of which can permanently escape the contagion of the hustling spirit which permeates it with atmosphere. Afro Americans of the twin cities of the Kaw are proving themselves a factor deserving of recognition in the development which is going on in and about them. For several years the Afro-Americans of Kansas City have been noted for their marked degree of culture, reinforcement, enterprise, thrift and hospitality. The explanation of this is not far to seek. Kansas City is one of the wonderful products of the last half century and its population has been made up of the best elements of the nation who went there to win the success promised by the opportunities of the new country that lay beyond the North and south of the Americas. Eastern and Southern States immigrated there in the early days of its boom and formed the nucleus and basis of the progressive and cultured society which exists there and each year their number is augmented and strengthened by scores of intelligent men and women seeking professional or business success. The political and civic atmosphere of the city has a strong tincture of Yankee liberalism, which in addition to its proximity to Kansas has made it a very desirable city to live in. Then too, Missouri in her legislation and general treatment of Afro-Americans has been compelled to embrace the characteristics that deeply harsh and has thus encouraged contentment among Her native population and invited settlers, from harsh regions. These and other circumstances have made possible the splendid progress which the Afro-Americans of Kansas City have made. The Negro in the United States has reached the period of development when the character and quality of the homes which they live are the greatest indices of progress, and by sign the Afro-Americans of Kansas City take high rank. In most of the cities of the West as in many of the South, the improvement which is taking place in the housing of the people is one of the most striking and encouraging features of Afro-American advancement, and in most cities of the West this feature is especially impressive. It was the subject of enthusiastic comment on the part of those who attended the Topeka convention and enjoyed the hospitality of the beautiful homes of that city. Kansas City will produce a like-admiration, as its homes are among the most handsome and substantial to be found anywhere and are equipped with every modern improvement and convenience. The abundance and comparative cheapness of urban land make possible unusually beautiful surroundings in the shape of farmland, parks, and public spaces. Afro-American population of this city is becoming gradually confined to the Eastern and Southeastern section, renders this evolution of model homes peculiarly important as it inspires the hope that in the near future it may not be considered discrertable to live in the colored residential section of a city. The educational progress, as evidenced by the growth of schools and school facilities and a large body of ambitious students and progressive educators, is a source of pride to the people of Kansas City as well as are their model schools. The City of Kansas City have the best colored schools of the country and are controlled more or less exclusively by Afro-American educators. Their development and efficiency afford a strong proof of the Afro-American's administrative ability when not despoiled of all power of initiative. The two cities graduated schools and two high schools. The new Lincoln High School which was occupied for the first time last year is one of the most handsome and one of the best equipped in the Southwest and is a credit to the city. The professional spirit among the teachers of the city has reached a high mark and receives generous encouragement. The schools do not brook cheap politics and personal exploitation of the schools in their management. In the professions of medicine and law, the twin cities are according to population not far behind others which are more favored for training of this kind. There is not a medical or law school in either city open to Afro-Americans, but there are dentists and a half dozen lawyers are doing a lucrative business. All are men of more than ordinary capacities, and the physicians, especially, are abreast of all the improvements of their calling. Their offices are among the best equipped in the country, many of the younger men especially having installed computers. The profession at considerable cost. The expert de corps which prevails among the physicians is particularly noticeable and pleasing. In their practice they lead almost a communal life, their offices being confined to one building and in many cases communicating. A very few of them have offices, but they are all established themselves in a general location near a general cooperative drug establishment. The most prominent physician of the group and perhaps the most influential Afro-American in the State of Missouri is Dr T. C Uthank, under whose leadership the physicians of Kansas City are making their influence for good felt and appreciated in a manner more than in any other hospital. Douglas Hospital and Training School is one important result of their cooperative efforts. This institution was established in 1895 for the sick and helpless Afro-Americans of the community and to give young women a thorough course in nurse training, it being the only institution west of Chicago holding out such an opportunity to colored women. Their efforts have been substantial, influenced by the A. E. B. Grant being president of the board of directors. Since its establishment more than a thousand persons have been treated and many have been turned away for the lack of accommodations. Through the generosity of Dr Booker T. Washington, who delivered a lecture in Convention hall, in Kansas City last year for the benefit of the hospital and through the benefactions of public-spirited citizens, the management have increased their amount, amounting to more than two thousand dollars in the past year. Their outstanding indebtedness amounts to about six hundred dollars, which, according to present plans, will soon be cancelled. The energy, practical sense and foreseeing which characterize the endeavors of the professional men are also manifest among a numerous body of business men, who in various ways are cautiously building up commercial enterprises, many of which have passed the experimental stage. One establishment deserves special mention because of its success, which causes it an evidence that Afro-Americans are entering new fields of enterprise. This is the Hygiene Manufacturing Company, located on the Kansas side, which manufactures baking powder, pickles and other useful and useful condiments. Its business is said to be very large and growing. The recent commotion which occurred at Aburray Park over the matter of the organization of an Afro-American fire company makes it interesting to mention that Kansas City has two very efficient and much-strewn fire companies composed of Afro-Americans. They are paid and held by the city and have a record for bravery and heroism that would be a credit to any body of firefighters. A new home for one of these companies is now in the course of creation which will cost $25,000. These evidences of the progress, thrift and industry of the colored people who live at the gateway of the Southwest, but the sweet, which the future has in store in this region, Toil and ownership of the soil are the factors that are to count mightily in the conquests that are to be made in this section and the rework made by a prominent and well-to-do citizen of Kansas City the other day is surely sanguine: "My people," he said, "have bought more property in and about this city during the last three years than they had bought during all the preceding ten years." J. L. LOVE. AN AFRO-AMERICAN JOURNAL OF NEWS AND OPINION NEW YORK, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 19, 1907 7,000 People Crowd Convention Hall and Tender Most Enthusiastic Demonstration Ever Held in Washington — Speech in Part. WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept. 14.—The demonstration that followed the speech of Booker T. Washington before the Negro Baptist Convention last night simply beggars description. Every feature of the ovation was genuine, spontaneous and hearty, a classic for elicitness to a splendid address. When the great leader of his race had uttered the last word of his speech the vast audience of 7,000 people that filled Convention Hall arose as one man and cheered and cheered and, then hundreds upon hundreds of enthusiastic men and women, as if moved by impulse. He impelled them to shake their way to the platform, shake the hand of the man who had so stirred their souls by the force and power of his words. The crowd upon the rostrum became so great that it was soon beyond control. Then an effort was made to have Dr. Washington shake hands with those who were trying to reach him by leaning over the railing and, as the crowd passed in front of the long platform, an extend both of his hands to those who were climbing up the hill. But this did not meet the demands of the situation. Finally, to avoid a most dangerous condition which was rapidly developing through the impatience of the crowd, several able-bodied men almost carried Prof. Washington on their shoulders down through the crowded aisles out into the street and placed him in his carriage. This vehicle happened to be an open harpoon. In a few seconds, men and women struggling to get an opportunity to do what it was not possible to do within the hall. For a quarter of an hour Prof. Washington, standing in his carriage, thus held a reception in the open air, shaking the hands of the people who crowded about him and responding to the words of congratulation that came to him from every one who could get in speaking distance of him. Instead the committee decided to crowd to desist in order to allow the object of its enthusiasm to catch the train for Tuskegee. "It is difficult for the average citizen to realize to what an extent the Negro race has increased in this country within in a few centuries. In numbers we begin with twenty, three hundred years ago. We have, as a race, increased in population until we now number more than ten million. The Negro in America is more and more twice as large as the entire population of the Dominion of Canada, and is nearly as large as the entire republic of Mexico. "The national Negro Baptist convention is perhaps the largest organic body within the Negro population. Beginning, as I have stated, with twenty slaves landed at Jamestown a few centuries ago, this one organization alone has more than fifteen thousand ministers, more than fifteen thousand individual church organizations, and a total church membership of 1,625,000. The Negro Baptists of America own property to the value of nearly $13,000,000. Let the individual who doubts the progress of the Negro race think upon these tremendous figures. As a race, we have made tremendous progress. The Negro Baptists this century have not lagged behind in their progress. "There are several points in connection with this church which the race should carefully guard. In the first place, it is too easy, I fear, for persons to enter the ministry. I mean persons without proper preparation—persons who have not the proper mental, moral, or WALL ST. MANHATTAN SPELL ADRACCO FRANCE ARAQLEY spiritual equipment. It is too easy, I fear, for improper ministers to remain in the church. Then, again, I often fear that we have among us too many floating ministers. The minister who is weak in mental preparation, weak in moral and religious practice, is not only a hindrance to the congregation, but he reflects upon the minister who is leading a correct, whole-some life. The ministers in the Baptist church who are holding up before their congregation and the community a high standard of life owe it to themselves to see to it that the denomination gets rid of the weak and immoral minister just as soon as possible. "One way in which the church can be supplied with a better class of ministers is through the establishment of a large central training school for ministers somewhere in the Heart of the South, of the 100,000,000 or more of people, the Southern States, and such a seminary should be located right in the midst of the people whose needs are the greatest." Dr. Washington again laid stress on the importance of industrial and economic growth among his race, declaring "a poverty-striken church makes a weak minister." He said: "We must not be content to be tolerated in communities, but should take action, and we can only do this by putting as much brains and skill and conscience into every line of employment as the members of any other race." Reverting to statistics, he said: "The Negro race, since it became free, has secured an acreage of land upon which it pays taxes that is as large as the combined territories of the kingdom of America; theATIVE figure the Negro race of America owns and pays taxes upon $1,000,000 worth of property. While in many of the European, Asian and Eastern countries the majority of the masses are still in deep ignorance, in America after only forty years of freedom, 50 percent of the Negroes can both read and write. He urged that his hearts make the names of the friends of the race prominent rather than the names of its enemies, and concluded by saying: "Nothing that I have said is meant to indicate that we should surrender any rights that are guaranteed to us by any of the State and Federal laws. We should do our utmost in every part of the country to prove to the world that we are worthy of the same protection of the law that is guaranteed to any other class of citizens." ROBERT H. TESSERELI Victoria at Whitehead House. ANURY PARK, September 16. Judging by the number of guests at the Whitehead House, one would think that the season at Ashbury Park was now at its height. On Friday, the 13th instant, a party consisting of Hon Wm. F. Powell, Engene Gregory, A. R. Cossy, Hon. Clus Robinson, A. X. Martin, the leading colored politicians of the State were entertained at the Whitehead House. The arrivals at the Whitehead House are: Mr. Jesse Lawson, Washington, D. C. Mr. Rutledge and son J. R. Rutledge, Mrs. Caulman, Miss Armstrong, New York; Miss Marie C. Green, Mr. E. Green, Mr. A. Edwards, Philadelphia. CIVIL SERVICE IN ARKANSAS Men of Little Rock Way Up in Postal Service WHERE ABILITY WINS The Largest Mail Contractor—A Supt. of Letter Carriers—Vice-President of Board of Examiners—One Conducting Examinations LITTLE Rock, September 16th—There are many young men in the classified government service in the great and growing Southwest, and, when one sees the splendid chances for the Northern and Eastern young men, one stops to think why it is that there are not more United States Negroes entering the classified government service. Here in Little Rock the white daily newapers are keeping the reader informed about the civil service examinations. So that in a recent examination there were seven cofounded and thirteen white applicants. From Dan to Ree sheba, the pulpit preacher, the bandleader, the imams, such as Tig New Young, Aar, ought to keep the young men informed about such matters. Here in the Southwest the young men first equip and qualify themselves before they apply for examination. In the North and Middle Atlantic States the young men neither have the time nor the patience to burn a little "midnight oil" to enter the examination or classified government service, hence their Southern and Southwestern brother negged away ahead of the Northern colored man in getting into civil service jobs. Such great newspapers like Ltrr New York Nw, which is circulated from Hell Gate on the East, to the Golden Gate on the West, should keep the Negro reading public informed as to the time, place, etc., when these government examinations take place, because the Negro should share in the because the Negro of the lion by filling up the ranks of the millions of Uncle Sam's employees. Here in the Southwest the United States Negro has the personal initiative of the Baltea Sea kings; he has not only entered the ranks of the government service as a letter carrier, postoffice clerk, railway mail clerk, but you find one Mr. D. C. Kee, the largest. Mr. D. C. Kee, mail and postoffice, the various trains at the several railroad stations. More young colored men and women should qualify themselves and enter the examinations with a view of entering the classified government service. Civil servants are the recent tour in the South, it is said, before Y. M. C. A. G. (white), and in the State of Arkansas lectured before white teachers and other associations. He held consultation with State and local school heads, and as a result in white high, normal and other schools, courses will be added to the curriculum, tending to fit the white student for vacant places in the government service. A postal card requesting further information on the subject will bring to the reader all needed information if addressed to the United States Civil Service Commission, Washington, D. C. It is not generally known that the capital city of Arkansas has a colored superintendent of letter carriers, viz., Mr. H. H. Garner, who is the only office superintendent of carriers in the world. Mr. Garner has been the employ of "Uncle Saw for some twenty odd years. The question might suggest itself, how did Mr. Garner come up from the ranks of a carrier to be the superintendent of carriers in one of the largest cities south of the Potomac? There are many carriers here and elsewhere who when they have their vacation go off and have a real good time; whereas, Mr. Garner whenever he went as a delegate to the National Letter Carriers' Association or elsewhere on his business, would carry letters of introduction to his office, larger cities, and spent his spare time studying the service in other cities. His letters of introduction from his home office would admit him to the offices in distant cities so that he would study the facilities and methods of handling and distributing the mail in other cities. Then he would bring to his home office new ideas and improved methods of handling the city's mail. When a vacancy did occur, the place naturally fell to him, because of his ability, competence and fitness. Mr. Garner has the authority and skill to handle the public and he knows about as much about the laws of the "postal regulations" as any of the "chiefs" or heads of the department at Washington, hence he has been of invaluable service to the several postmasters who have held the office under the several administrations. Mr. S. A. Jordan, who entered the classified government service fifteen or twenty years ago, has the unique distinction of having been a member of and chairman of the board of Civil Service Examiners for the postoffice at Little Rock, Ark. Here, again, is an item of news that no correspondent of Turt Acq can duplicate in any progressive town, "North of the Bronx." Mr. Jordan was the first colored man to hold this honor in the Southwest. He was commissioned February, 1906. Mr. Jordan besides being high in the United Order of Odd Fellows, is also International Mentor of the Knights and Daughters of Tabor, a beneficial organization; he is also a stockholder and a director in the Capital City Savings Bank, of which Judge M. W. Gibbs is the president. At present Mr. L. N. Porter, who entered the classified government service about twenty years ago, holds the position of vice-secretary of the Board of Civil Service Examiners for the Government, at Little Rock. The position of vice-secretary is equivalent to that of chairman of the board which is composed of three persons, two white and one colored. This is another pleasant news item to know that in these last days a colored man in the person of Mr. Porter, conducts all the civil service examinations held by "Uncle Sam" at Little Rock Mr. Porter recently conducted a civil service examination at the local office for various governmental positions and in the class were thirteen "white folk" who did not kick at the presence of Mr. Porter for fear of your correspondent's knowledge考验 Mr. Porter is the only Negro in the world holding this honorable and responsible position. How did he get it? That was dead easy; Mr. Porter was recommended to this position by the postmaster because of his length of government service, fitness, competency and ability. The colored men out this way who have entered the classified government service study every branch and every detail of the service, whereas the Northern and Eastern colored men who are in the government service seem to all by the way-side when it comes to understanding why each of the service except that with which they are immediately concerned The Southwestern young men in the government service invariably qualify themselves and are looking for promotion as against the idea of remaining satisfied in one grade of the service. TO APPEAL TO GOVERNOR Movement to Secure Clemency for Arthur J. Harris. In the riot of August, 1800, Arthur J. Harris unfortunately took the life of a police officer. While the public mind was greatly agitated over the race question Harris was put upon trial in the General Sessions Court for this offence, and was convicted of murder and sentenced to life imprisonment. The fact that the officer whom he slew was not in uniform, and oogan to assault him with his night slick without sufficient prosecution, and that it was then and not until then that Harris defended himself with a small pocket knife, which happened to strike the officer on the jingular. Higher than the man is the principle of justice, and the seven years which he has already suffered in prison may be argued as a sufficient punishment in a case where, if his trial had occurred under different circumstances, it is probable that would not have been punished at all. Our interest in the case is increased by the fact that it is reported that he is wasting of consumption, superinduced by the crime in prison. We want to advise the Governor for commutation of sentence, believing that if the case comes before him in the proper form, it will receive due consideration. Make copies of the record of his trial, to prepare and present petitions and services of a legal nature will require the expenditure of at least $150. Whatever contributions may be sent weekly in the columns of this paper. PRICE 5 CENTS Detachments of the 24th Infantry to Be Stationed in New York—Black Troops Can't Be Shoved off Face of the Earth. From The New York Sun. WASHINGTON, Sept. 12.—By an order issued by the War Department to-day the Twenty-fourth Infantry, now on duty in the Philippines, is to be brought home and stationed at Fort Ontario, Oswego, N. Y., and Madison Barracks, near Watertown, N. Y. The Twenty-fourth Infantry is one of the four Negro regiments in the army, and in view of the general objections to Negro troops at almost every post the problem of assigning those now about to return home has been a serious one with the Department. The Department desires to avoid the possibility of a repetition of the Brownsville affair, in which a part of the Twenty-fifth Infantry, a Negro regiment, is alleged to have been implicated, and it will probably be a long time before any of the Negro regiments are stationed in the South. Aside from this consideration, however, and the one which Department officials declare target the Negro troops in the decision, the Negro posts to New York posts, is the fact that these troops have been in tropical service for two years and are now entitled, under the policy of the Department, to service in a cooler climate. The regiment is due to arrive at these stations on February 15 next. The headquarters, band and two battalions to be selected by the regimental commander will be assigned to Madison Barracks, and one battalion to Fort Ontario. With the appointment of protests from the citizens of Oswego and Watertown against the assignment of Negro soldiers to the posts in the vicinity of these two cities, it argues that they must be stationed somewhere, and Madison Barracks and Fort Ontario were the most available. In fact it is said that representations have already been made against the proposed settlement of the Negro regiment was declared at the Department that no formal protests had been received. Nearly all the members of the other three Negro regiments are now in the Philippines or on their way there. The North and Teenth Cavalry, colored, are all in the Islands, with the exception, of one troop at Fort Riley and another at Fort Leavenworth, both composed of Negro soldiers. A part of Twenty-fifth Infantry is now in the Philippines, and the remainder is en route there, the last companies having sailed from San Francisco about two weeks ago. It is not likely the appeals to the Department and proves against the presence of the Twenty-fifth Infantry at Fort Leavenworth, both composed of Negro soldiers, will avail anything, for the Department will firm in its determination that the Negro troops shall remain there during the regular tour of duty. FIRE AT NEW HAVEN. Confectionery Store Burns During the Night—Missionary Convention. New Haven, September 18th.—A grand missionary convention will be held in the A. M. E. Zion church, Norwich, Conn. Rev. A. J. Tolstor, D. D. pastor, on Tuesday and Wednesday, October 1 and 2. Rev. Dr. E. George Biddle, presiding elder over the New England district, makes the following appeal: We would like to have every church and mission in the New England district have their missionary and church extension assessment paid up in full by that time. If you have not sent it in to the headquarters, bring it or send it to Norwich at that time. A special rally will be made at this time for local missions; it is expected that the church will be the second record of thousands of dollars raised for church extension in the district. Rev. J. W. Davis returned Tuesday, the 31st from a two weeks' trip to Norwich City. During his absence he preached at St. John's M. E. church, Newark; Calvary M. E. church, Philadelphia; and Albury M. E. church, Atlantic City. Rev. J. W. Davis reports a very pleasant acquaintance with the church, which he left the city Sunday, the 5th instant, for Orange, N. J. where he is conducting a two weeks' series of meetings for the Rev. D. De Still Turpentine, pastor of the church. M. E. B. R. of Lincoln street, has returned from a visit to Mrs. E. D. McKnight of Newwich, Mrs. M. Gee and three children of Boston, who have spent three months with Mrs. J. Woods and Mrs. Woods, of 10th Day street, return home this week. Mrs. Lacini Stanley of Newburg, N. C., is accompanied by her maid, is visiting Mrs. Woods, of 10th Day street, and Mrs. E. Dickinson of Norwich. HOWARD AND ATKINS Leaders of the Two Clans of Elks About to Unite Forces-Growth and Strength of the Order in Virginia and South NORFOLK, Va., September 16th—During the year of 1899, a number of influential Afro-American citizens of this city organized the first Afro-American lodge of Elks in this country. This lodge had thirty members and is still known as the Eureka Lodge, No. 5, L. B. P. O. Elks of the World. The progress of this organization is worthy of the serious attention of the Afro-American people, for it has risen despite the rancorous opposition the stigma of prejudice has created. Soon after the order had begun to bring its membership to a numerical point where it was independent a few sordid and grunted individuals made futile attempts to disrupt the order. These conditions brought forth a young man endowed with the temperament to inspire confidence, dispelling the delusions of a number of men who were not thoughtful and liberating them from the clutches of a discontent. Dr. Mills successfully saved this lodge which to-day has a membership of 450 or more. The Eureka lodge owns property valued at $8,000 and recently purchased a brick building and lot on the principal street of the city. This building is to be enclosed and when completed will be among the finest Elks' homes in the country. Norfolk is the hutbed of Elkdom, and this section does not breed indifference to the general uplift of a worthy organization. The lodges of Tidewater section of Virginia are loyal to the parent body. Every Afro-Americ Elk of the original body, knowing the weight of public opinion against dissensions, especially at a time when the white Elks were trying to humiliate Afro-American Elks, tried to prevent the New York, Brooklyn and Jersey City lodges, from weakening the ranks of Elkdom. The insurgent lodges claimed that the founder of the order was ignorant and the leading characters of the regular body asserts in no childish tones that the so-called insurgents were in power to make the administrative department of the grand body a strong one. Again, they say, that a large number of the Atkins faction had helped make laws and could have received any gitt from an official standpoint that the order could bestow The correspondent was given facts bearing upon the case which show that conditions in Elkdon, especially at this period, should be made so that both factions heal the breach. Leading men of the Howard convention say it is true that the Atkins clan has asked for exclusive rights in the State of Virginia, but the corporation commission failed to grant same. The natural view of the matter is that a thoughtful observer would deplore discussions and would apreciate only facts, as they affect the case, and I find that in Virginia that Norlok, Portsmouth, Berkley, Sewell's Point, Newport News, Smithfield and a lodge in Richmond are loyal to the parent body and from reports the lodges at Petersburg and Manchester are going to return to the Howard wing, despite the fact that Dr Atkins the opposing ruler lives in this section, 95 per cent of the Elks in Virginia are with Howard and in North Carolina. Every place I have visited recently, with a few exceptions, the lodges are standpatters on Howard's ground. The Howard men don't seem to be rueful veterans, but they are optimistic and to me seem to be working for me. Dr J. E Mills is a vigorous worker full of the doing power and a young man with a veteran's head Dr Mills grand organizer is a graduate of Norfolk Mission College, Leonard Medical College, Shaw University and he has an excellent practice. The personnel of Eureka Lodge are composed of such influential men as Dr G. J Jarvis Bowes-ex-American Counsel to Gandolpe Doctors Mills and G J Jarvis Bowes who have offices jointly have as elegant a suite of offices and as well fitted as any African American physician in this country. Mr Charles S Carter, of the firm of Mr Charles & Dorkin, who have the finest Arto-American taboring and gents finishing establishments in the South; Mr J C Wilson, one of the leading undertakers of the South; Mr D W Jones, superintendent of Cabary Cemetery; Mr John D Mortis, proprietor of Norfolk Hotel at exposition ground; Mr L W Bright, who has just completed the Mr Vernon Hotel which cost $2,000; Mr Charles Juttis, a postman and one of the leading musicians of color in Virginia; Mr William Nixon, grand expire and proprietor of the Monicello Pressing Club; this young man has the patronage of the largest hotels in the city; Mr Abe Cooke, foreman for Compede Dye Works; Mr J. J. Corpent, a citizen of material worth and a host of others who represent great wealth: The Richmond lodge of the Howard wing is composed of such men as Mr. James Carter, stenographer for the leading white law firm of Richmond and Mr. John T. Taylor, secretary of the strong Richmond beneficial insurance company, and Mr. Powell Williams, United States letter carrier. The Howard people are strong in their conviction that they are right, yet they are imbued with the spirit of right and justice and are willing to welcome back the Atkins wing to the parent body. GEO.

Gaines Interesting Character in Life of the Western Church—Elected Delegate to Quadrennial Conference. CHICAGO, September 18th.—The more or less jolly exit of the Elks fraternity from Chicago after a three days' session of their National Convention was quickly followed by the incoming of a small army of preachers, elders, deacons and deaconeses, presiding elders, and other church people, to attend the annual conference of the A. M. E. church of the 4th Episcopal District. Some people are unkind enough to suggest a disparaging comparison in favor of the church people and to insinuate that the influence of the church was much needed as a sort of corrective for the excessive worldliness of the Sir Elks. Be that it as may, the church people who have just closed one of the largest and most successful annual conferences ever held in the west, held a large amount of public attention. Not since the Quadrennial Conference, that met in Chicago about three years ago, has there been so many visiting church people to our city. They were a well-dressed and well-conducted lot of people and their cheerful optimism as well as serious and aggressive spirit were quite contagious and salutary in their influence. The territory represented by this Iowa Conference covers a wide stretch of country, including Kentucky, Indiana, Iowa, Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota and North and South Dakota. Outside of Chicago the Afro-American population in the territory of the Iowa conference is widely scattered. There are about 60 churches and 100 congregations, with a church membership of about 3,000. But the significance and importance of this religious society in the Northwest are scarcely indicated by mere figures. Social and spiritual values cannot be expressed in figures. In organizing the religious life of the colored people in the northwest, a part of the country not particularly hospitable either in climate or public sentiment, some of the best traits of self-emanipating race has been out to the test. The Roman Catholic church, which has surpassed all other societies in Christendom in securing and occupying the outposts of Christian civilization, has scarcely shown greater zeal, in nourishing the spiritual life of its people, than has the A. M. E. church. These half-starved preachers have bravely faced the blizzards and all kinds of hardships, in their efforts to reach the scattering groups of colored people who have sought freedom and opportunity in the barren wastes of the Dakotas, Iowa and other States, included in the district. Old and tried fighters, for human righteousness, like Presiding Elder George W. Gaines, the much loved "Pap" Hall, now retired, and others who have long since gone to their rest, could tell a graphic story of sacrifice and hardships in order to make righteousness exalted among the people, that would furnish a romantic chapter in American history. Whenever two or three Afro-Americans were gathered together there a church was planted. They did not wait for a building or a pulpit to form a church, the spirit and act of worship were already there. Though welcomed to white churches, they had an uncompeting zeal to keep alive the altar fires of African Methodism. This missionary spirit of the people is of greater importance than is generally recognized. It is this spirit hat doted the Northwest with little hapels out of which the great A. M. E. hurch took form and development, here is not a more interesting chapter the life of the colored people in this intruy that the way this church has assisted through bitter adversities with and without the race, to a great historic organization. What the church has done and is still driving to do was fully reflected in the proceedings of the great conference held in historic old Quinn Chapel, the oldest church represented. To one who has had the opportunity to study these annual conferences through a course of years, there were unmistakable signs of progress in the recent Iowa Conference. The personnel of the ministers and elders shows a remarkable improvement over that of say ten years ago. The signs of a new generation of churchmen was everywhere manifest. There has been gradually worked out a standard of personality in the preachers that is sure proof that "The church is moving on." A visiting layman did not hostile to say that twenty-five years ago but few of the A M E ministers in this part of the country were school men. If this be true, it is evident that Payne Theological Seminary and other charity schools are making an impression on the character of the present day preacher. This new man, who has had training in school and college, is getting the upper hand in church government. He is mustering upon higher standards, both in the pulpit and the pew. In the recent conference the charges of wrong doing on the part of unworthy ministers were so few as not to mar the higher influences of the gathering. The voices of the best men were dominant and controlling during the six days proceedings of the convention. The exalted personality of Bishop Schaffer seemed to lift the conference to an elevation of deorum and seriousness that was in strong contrast to what might have been a few years ago. Perhaps the most touching incident of the conference was the tender solicitude for those who had born the burden and the heat of the day and were now superannuated and living a kind of death in life. Most of these worn-out members are without means of support "the grateful spirit of the conference" nobly shown in their willingness to offer liberal donations upon those who conflicted their usefulness and physi-strength as these people are the ag- amount of the money raised in struggling churches is astonishing. $20,000 was raised during the year missionary and educational purposes among the interesting features of the a Conference was the large number prominent out-of-town churchmen were present, among them the genial Prof. H. T. Kealing, Dr. Parks, Dr. Chappell, and Dr. Watson. Of course the next Quadrennial Conference loomed up more or less prominently in the minds of the ambitious. A spirited contest arose as to the leadership of the Iowa Conference delegation to Norfolk. Presiding Elder George W. Gaines won the prize. Gaines is one of the interesting characters in the life of the western church. He has been longer in continuous work than any man here and has had more to do in shaping African Methodism-perhaps than any other one man. He was a valiant soldier in the United States army as well as in the army, of the Lord. He has been for many years a part of every struggle and victory of the A. M. E. church and is still a man of vigor both in mind and body. Quinn chapel in which the conference was held is one of the oldest churches in Chicago. It had its beginning way back in 1847 when Chicago was little more than a village. It is indeed the mother of churches. Its noble pastor, Dr. D. P. Roberts, has done much to establish this church in the first rank of western churches. FANNIE BARRIER WILLIAMS. FIERCE BIOTS IN CALCUTTA. Punishment of Native Leader for Sedition Execution Bengali Students. Special Cable Despatch to The Sun. CALCUTTA, September 12th - Serious sedition rioting has occurred as a result of the sentence of six months' rigorous imprisonment passed upon the extremist Nationalist Leader Bepin Chandra Lal, who refused to testify on August 27 in a case in which the Hindu journal Bande Materam was charged with sedition. The excitement lasted many hours. Great crowds assembled in the vicinity of the police court, shouting: "Bande Materam!" They attacked the police and a free fight ensued, in which the Bengali students showed great determination and assaulted some European sergeants. The crowd completely blocked Old Court-house street, the chief thoroughfare of Calcutta. Other attacks on Europeans are reported, especially in eastern Bengal, where the racial feeling resembles that in Ireland in the day of the Land League. LADRONES TO HANG Gov. Smith, However, Commutes Sentences of You Out of Four Filipinos. From The New York Sun, MANILA, September 19th. Governor-General Smith has refused to modify the death sentence in the cases of Macario Sakay and Julian Devega, the former ladrone chiefs, who pleaded guilty of brigandage and whose sentence was confirmed on appeal by the Supreme Court on July 26 for the cases of Luzon Montalon and Leon Villanorte, who were sentenced at the same time as Sakay and Devega, the Governor-General has commuted the sentence to life imprisonment. Sakey and Devega are to be hanged to morrow. The Filipino newspapers have been daily agitating for a light punishment for these so-called patrons, convicted of the murder and torture of their unfortunate fellow countrymen, whom they blinded, mutilated and buried, while the American newspapers have demanded the infliction of the extreme penalty. The utterances of David P. Barrows, superintendent of public instruction, with regard to the alleged readiness of the United States to grant the Filipinos immediate independence, have created only a mild sensation.

Peterson, 7 and 8 Chatham Square, in the Borough of Manhattan, New York. Dr. Charles M. Freeman lives at Metuchen, N. J. He is husband to Mary Wilkins, the popular novelist. He wants to be the Republican candidate of his neck of the woods. His Democratic opponents camp on his candidacy. Last week they caught him mixed up in a crap game with three slady Hans. Very well. Now, the point is Dr. Freeman wants to be mayor. He hunts for votes in a crap game, the high mysteries of which have only been revealed to the sons of Ham. The dear police catch him. Now, then, how did Dr. Freeman get the crap poison in his blood? --- Those who have been figuring it out that William Randolph Hearst had spent his force in politics when Hughes beat him for the governorship of New York last year are still figuring. The Hearst sentiment, which is yellow all over, is alive and in evidence here in New York, there in Cleveland and everywhere to the Golden Gate. Now, what is Hearst and hisism? Simply the spirit of political unrest and indecision, which does not know where it came from nor rock or care where it will go to. And the end of the blamed thing is confusion, in which the Hearst bank account suffers nothing, as his string of yellow journals stretching across the continent fetch it all back again. It is interesting to find that French soldiers are slaughtering natives in East Africa, that the native soldiers are slaughtering Portuguese in West Africa, while natives and Europeans scattered over the remainder of the continent are resting for the next outbreak. The main thing is that the European spirit of progress is getting into the bone and the blood of Africa, so that the dead native is waking up. A sign of the time is that President Barclay and T. M. Cams Stewart of Liberia are visiting England and will visit France in an effort to strengthen the influence of the Black Republic. After awhile the spirit-like flings of Mr. Stewart from continent to continent will begin to be seen and heard. The empress of China is placing a number of young women in American seminaries. What for? To marry American millionaires? Oh no! They are to imbibe, in their heads and hearts, the man's spirit in religion and in the arts and sciences and take it back to China, where they will scatter a broadcast among their sisters. In third or fourth generation this American spirit in Chinese women will return in delegates to vex the patience of the dear presidentess of the National Association of Negro Women. The spirits of Europe, Asia and Africa will yet meet upon the fertile plains of another Spinar and raise points of order in a common language. Joe Gans justified the expectations of the gambling public by wrestling Jimmy Britt in their customer last week. The winner received a small fortune, a large part of which wisdom would plant in Baltimore dirt, where it would bear fruit to nourish his old age when he can use neither his jets nor his needs in chasing the three square meals a day his Negro Jew appetite will be craving for. The total poverty which crept upon Jackson and Dixon and the other bright stars eclipsed should teach such as Gans wisdom A Scandalous Mix-Up in the South. Last year 57,997 Italians came to the United States. The steady demand is beginning to tell on the productive resources of Italy. These Italians are scattered all over the United States. More than any other Europeans, they are going into the Southern States. Wherever they go they take with them the Roman Catholic religion, the two-edged dagger (which is mightier than the dear razor), and the wisdom which earns a dollar and saves fifty cent. They succeed. These Italians are after the black man and the white man of the South—after their labor, their capital and their women. Will they get them? Publish it not in the streets of Aske-Elton, for fear Editors Ben Davis and Clark Howell may spoil it in mind and blood in the streets of Gattiana. Mr Davis should readily that which he lays down the doctrine that he can only live in Atlanta by favor of the bad will of Clark Howell, who is a snake, it leads naturally to riot and murder. It would be just the same if Clark Howell could live in Atlanta only by the good will of Ben Davis. The one has as much right to live and swear and be fierce in Atlanta as the other has to be good and mild; When the right of either is disputed blood flows, but it should flow in equal volume. · Let the Italian come and mix with us. The Right of a Square Deal. · The effort of the Democratic authorities of Texas to force the railroads, the insurance and the oil companies out of the State or into bankruptcy is progressing famously. The policy of Governor Hughes to give the corporations and the people fair play is not only the best but the only way to reach a square deal. From the high point of seeking a adjustment the related rights in law and equity of the corporations and the people by legislation, Governor Hughes stands highest among men spoken of for the presidential nomination. The railroads and other corporations need each other. They cannot get along without each other. Demagogues will not understand this in their mad chase after the Blanche, Tray and Sweetheart of popular favor, but the people and the corporations should understand it. An evidence that they are beginning to do so is to be found in the steady growth of sentiment all over the country favorable to the nomination of Governor Hughes as the successor of President Roosevelt. Same Old Democratic War Life. There cannot be a nation in a Nation without dangerous weakness at home and in our foreign relations. The murder of eleven Italians in the administration of President Harrison, and instances of like character since; the Sand Lot agitation against the Chinese, between 1850 and 1890, and the present difficulty between this country and Japan over the rights of children of the latter in the public schools of San Francisco, show that, as Mr. Lincoln declared in substance, a Nation with divided power cannot endure. It must be free or slave; it must have a tree hand in its own house or it will fall. In a Jamestown address last week Mr. Judson Harmon, who was attorney-general under President Cleveland in the Sand Lot agitation period, says: "The people of Ohio cherish still as they always have done the 'rights of sovereignty, freedom and independence,' as well as the membership in the Union. They realize that for a people who have set out to govern themselves to look to one one else, no matter who, to help govern them is a confession of unfitness. They are proud of the Governor, who when pleaded with to call for Federal troops said Ohio could take care of herself, as she did." This is precisely the view of the matter taken by the slave masters, whose wishes were crushed to death in the voice of John C. Callum by the wishes of the hosts of freedom in the voice of Daniel Webster. The body of it was sheed to death in the Civil War. Do Judson Harmon and the other Democratic spirits want more death of war? The Horizon and the Moon Our esteemed contemporary The Horizon came to New York recently, and after returning to The Moon sent the following to us by Uncle Sam, for 1 cent Wysuttschen, D. C., Sept. 5, 1997. Dear Aa. Referring to your query in the current Avail to as to "The Horizon" we beg to say that we have been issuing regularly on time our time - about 15th of each month. Perhaps you did not get the one August issue. Am mulling you the one. Look for the September issue in a few days. No our "insultily" the people's subscriptions, has not yet been withdrawn. Like the whale's crare there is not much in it, but each time we have drawn on it we have found enough "all" to sustain life. We dropped on card into the crack in your covered, padded locked door on the Rowney in a few days ago while "dating" New York. Did you get it? Good luck. We renew to Editor Murray the gratitude assurance of our most distinguished regard. When The Horizon looks in the Rowery and finds "the wildew's cruse" locked, Tire Ace must have come into more Fortune than a crackman could see through a "uncoverd, padlocked door." "The people's subscription" feel alike The Horizon and Tire Ace and are not with drawn even when The Horizon gently falls into the hot embraces of the recently Moon. The outbreak of popular wrath against the Japanese of Vancouver has placed Great Britain in a worse predation than the mob outbreak against the Japanese in San Francisco placed the United States, because Great Britain is an avowed ally of Japan. By the nature of things, if Japan is to safeguard British interests in India, Great Britain must safeguard those of Japan in British Columbia. Any way the crow dies, the Japanese will get the better of it. The Emperor of Germany, who is a sort of gagged brute among rulers, spoke solely for Europe when he denounced the influence for offensive and defensive forces of Great Britain and France Japan. When races mix their greed and breed the black and yellow ones always get the better of it. The rule of three works that way in making the triangle square the circle of human affairs. Judges Without Judgment Now and again the public utterances of men occupying positions on the judicial bench give overwhelming proof of the unfitness of the speakers to arbitrate the difference of their fellow citizens or to interpret the law and see that the evidence is fairly weighed in cases coming before them. For instance, in a hearing before a local Dogberry, the charge against the woman in the case, was that she had sold her young daughter for immoral purposes and to male buyers of another color than her own. Now this was shocking enough without any question of color being interpreted, but it hardly warranted the wearer of the unspottedermine in pronouncing the judicial dogma that the accused should be burned at the stake. That is a form of punishment not provided by the law of the State and its enforcement would only be possible through mob law, which is no law at all. The judge may have considered the penal code inadequate to fully punish the unnatural act of the mother, but his language was the reverse of judicial and far from judicious. In fact, he was inciting to the violation of the very laws he was sworn to protect and execute. Another example of the wrong man on the bench was furnished by a Virginian magistrate who took occasion to criticize the Governor of that commonwealth for his action in sending troops to Omanock to keep the peace when the local authorities had made no requisition for them. It is just such action by the Governors of Virginia and other Southern States that is discouraging mob and lynch law and the courts should gladly welcome and approve such enforcement of law and order by the State authorities. Instead of this, the Virginia magistrate, who unworthily wore the name of Blackstone, pronounced the sending of the militia "the act of a spectacular Governor who is frequently given to spontaneous combustion." The elevation of a man to a judicial position presupposes, besides the requisite legal training and experience, the mental equipoise and sobriety of speech that should preclude such undignified utterances as the foregoing. The American people are fortunate in that such instances of misfit judges without judgment are becoming rarer with the passing years. Millions in Goobers The humble but savory peanut, long contained to the circus and the theatre gallery, is slowly but surely coming to its own. A Virginia newspaper corre- spondent estimates that the value of the peanut crop in the United States exceeds $15,000,000. It itches about 400,000, 000 pounds and nearly half a million persons are employed in its cultivation. Some 400,000 acres of land is devoted to its culture for market purposes. The introduction of this new popular groundnut into Virginia dates back half a century ago. Somebody brought it originally from Brazil as a cheap and nutritious food for stock. The gardener pulled up the vines with the nuts cling- ing to them and stored them in the hay- leaf to be fed to the animals. At that time it was by no means a common crop in the Old Dominion and no one thought of it as a source of revenue. Accident revealed its value as a means of enriching the soil. Where it was left to decay the ground yielded remarkable crops of other kinds. However it may be with man, tobacco is bad for the soil, quickly exhausting its nitrogenous element. In the few years immediately following the war the impoverished Virginian planter raised all the tobacco he could and soon this crop hardly paid for the work it required. Lands were offered for the traditional song. Then came the wider planting of the peanut and the increasing fertility of the soil. Soon the popularity of the peanut in the North led to its cultivation pretty generally throughout Virginia and the Carolinas. Now it is the favorite nut for man and is grown in every Southern State and in California, Oklahoma and Missouri and in several Northern and Western States. It has become so important that there is published in Virginia the American Nut Journal, which is devoted chiefly to the peanut interest. It would be hard to estimate the number of Italian pushcart merchants in all the cities of this country who depend largely on the sale of roasted peanuts. Besides this, the gooded, as it is called, is manufactured into butter and an oil is extracted from it, which has a commercial value. It is also used as a food for stock and scientists comment it as nutritions and wholesome for both man and beast. A section of the Georgia Republicans are after Roosevelt and Taft with a big bow. When the nominations have been made, will they be good? Dr. Unfold Also Same Dr Du Bois' Niagara movement, in its Boston meeting last week, also rose up and swiped Roosevelt and Taft and swore aloud: "No; not on your life!" Now, Roosevelt and Taft are trembling in the big place where their mouths stand. When the nominations are made, mark you, Dr. Du Bois' Niagara Movement and John E. Milholland's Constitution League will support the nominees of the National Republican Convention. Politics is beginning to, sizzle in all directions. The big fellows and the editors are talking overtime trying to prove something is nothing, while the small fry in Maryland, New York and the remainder of the States are swearing big cuss words with little mouths and punching each other in the face with knuckles and chuckles. When it is all over two candidates will be nominated, the dear people will swipe the brains out of the head of one of them with ballots, and the white rascals will gobble all of the big offices. Wow! A NEW SCHOOL READER "Animal Fables," Collection of Stories by A. O. Stafford, Recently Issued School Book. Among the new school readers advertised in the latest catalogue of the American Book Company, 100 Washington Square, New York city, one of the largest and best-known publishers of school books in America, is Stafford's "Animal Fables." This reader is a collection of animal stories adapted from the folk lore of the colored race as found not only in the United States, but also in Africa, and is intended for children of the tithi grade in grades. Each fable is illustrated by a full-page cut and in every way the book is attractive in form as well as in reading matter. There is no dialect, each story being told in simple and interesting English. There is not found anywhere else in school book form a collection of our own folk lore that can be used in our teaching of the country and each child in Stafford's "Animal Fables." The compiler of the reader is one of our well-known teachers, Mr. A. O. Stafford, of the Institute for Colored Youth at Cheyney, Pa., who has given and is giving much study to the race's history and its literature. Now that thousands of our teachers know the country are considering what books to order for the children of their schools, Stafford's "Animal Fables" should by all means be known to them. THE PROPER SPIRIT Receptions Accordeed Dr. Washington Indicate Strong Feeling. Tuskegee's principal was the guest of the great Pythian organization at Louisville, Ky. This organization extends to all parts of North America, South America, with dominion in several foreign lands as well. The supreme chancellor, Mr S W Sta.S, is a man of commanding power, capable for the high place which the organization has won among black men, Principal Washington was received with every demonstration of good will. On Friday evening he was the guest of the National Baptist Convention at Washington, D. C., the largest Negro organization in the world, composed of strongly influential men, who in large part direct the activities of the Negro people. Judging by the reception accorded by the thousands who were in attendance at Louisville, and as well by the reception at Washington, from the National Baptist Convention; by the colored people who were gathered by thousands on Negro Day at the Jamestown Exposition, August 4, and by those who attended the last session of the National Negro Business League at Touka, Katsu, in August, we are led to conclude that the Negro people of the country are only willing still, as they have been, to be totally as to the warm place which he has in their hearts and affections. No man could fail to note the way in which he is received wherever he goes without judging how foolish and futile is the noise and commotion promoted by a small coterie of charlatans who are distinguished most by their self-seeking egotism and by their ability to abuse, misrepresent and be. Revolt Among Congo Natives From The Christian Register A new difficulty confronts the Belgian administration in the Congo Free State. The revolt among the natives against the system of forced labor in lieu of the payment of taxes is reported at Brussels to have reached alarming proportions, and it may be necessary to increase the white soldiery in the State to comparatively large proportions in order to restore tranquil. The importance of quelling the revolt is emphasized by the agents of King Leopold who have been in the habit of recruiting their working forces from the natives who are unable to meet the demands of the taxgatherer by payment in money or in native taxes. The natives to refuse to work for the Belgian explorers would destroy at once the foundations of the enormous structure of profit, which has been built up in the Congo during the past dozen years, and would therefore require the administration will spare any efforts to maintain the highly iterative status quo. WITH JOHN, BROWN IN KANSAS From The Springfield Republican. From The Springfield Republican. What man ever saw in flame Man's immortal fame? What man hath seen The mountain green Turn pured and red Where he stood dead? What man hath booked the sky. Unblinking, in its dazzling eye. And seen vast drifts of ice and snow In August sunbeams burn and glow. I saw it in the Kausas sky. Where Freedom's sons now lie And in her slumberbread breast Find to rest! John Brown, arise in thy despair! For Death is there In Kausas air! T. THOMAS FORTUNE. The thoughts in these lines were sug- gested by some phenomena I saw in the heavens, in Kausas, in the early morning of August 14, 1807. THE NEGRO BEFENDED An Answer to Arguments for the Repeal of the Fifteenth Amendment. From The Sun. To the Editor of. The Sun—Sir: I beg to say a few words in response to the letter in The Sun of September 6 calling for the repeal of the Fifteenth Amendment. Your correspondent showed a great deal of headstrong prejudice but very little historical knowledge. Of course, it is no new thing to hear a Southerner calling for the repeal of the last two amendments to the Constitution; but what are we of the North to do? We cannot consistently give up the only thing that we won by the war. The South has regained nearly everything that it lost in the war and by it; and if a stranger should judge of it merely by present results he would be apt to think that the war had been won by the South. I shall omit this phase of the controversy, however, and answer a few of your correspondent's arguments. He alleges (1) that the African is here only on sufferance, (2) that he has no part or lot in the benefits of our Government and institutions, (3) that the founders of this Republic did not intend to include him in its benefits, (4) that he is and is intended by God to be inferior to every white man, and (5) that he should "cheerfully" accept this inferior, position. Of all people in this country the African has the strongest claim to remain here. He did not come here seeking either a living or racial equality, but upon the most pressing and urgent invitation, which brooked neither delay nor acceptance, he brought here to woo and he had to. He would gladly have stayed away, or, failing that, he would gladly have gone away long ago, but our people wouldn't let him. Now, of course, he is expatriated from Africa and cannot return. So much for being here on sufferance. Official records show that 175,975 Negroes, under 7,182 officers, including the immortal Colonel Shaw, Colonel T. W. Higginson, still alive; General Ferrero, General Burnside and many other of that stamp, fought to preserve the Union. They engaged in 252 battles (May 24, 1865; general battles May 24, 1864) the flower of the Confederate cavalry under the personal command of General FitzHugh Lee. I see, moreover, in going over some of the testimony taken before the Congressional investigating committee (1872) that General Grant speaks in the highest terms of their courage and efficiency and the value of their services. And I am simple enough to think that our country's institutions they are entitled to share the benefits of those institutions. Am I right? As regards what the founders thought, the same argument was made by Chief Justice Taney in Dred Scott vs. Sandford (Miller's Reports, pp. 6-56). And the speciousness of the argument was exposed at the time by Senator Benton of Missouri ("Historical and Legal Examination," etc., pp. 4-96); by Abraham Lincoln in his House Divided speech of 1858, and by Justice McLean of the Supreme Court in the dissenting opinion on that case (19 Howard, 403-422). If your correspondent would devote a day to the reading of these things he would be very much edited and instructed. As to the fourth point, I can't presume to say just what God did or did not intend, but if your correspondent will note the following facts he should tread lightly on the inferiority argument: Two thousand years ago, the forefathers of this Anglo-Saxon race were running wild in the woods, sacrificing their children and other relatives to jobs, and couldn't read, write or talk (See Tactus, Don Cassius, Liamans, and Malcolm Cicero, in a letter to Atticus, advises him not to buy Britons for his household since they were too stupid to be of any use (H. A Tame "Histoire de la Literature Anglaise"); In answer to the exhortation to the Vienna cheerfully to accept his inferior position, I think he does. His is usually a cheerful race and can't help laughing at these things. But Professor Josh Boyce intimates that to tell a man that you are his superior may make your superior makes him look up to your superiority makes him look up to and love you. It all depends on whether our superiority is an assumption of a fact Mr H G Wells in his book on Utopia has a chapter on 'Race Prejudice in Utopia' which might interest, if not instruct, your correspondent. At any rate, it is too late to repeal the amendment. Even Williams of Mississippi concedes as much. In closing I would warn your correspondent not to put too much confidence in the belief that the white people of the South abhor the blood fusion of the two races. There are more than five million mulattos and other people of mixed blood in this country, and they don't grow on trees or spring from black and black. HUBERT H. HARRISON. New York, September 10 Honor to A. M. E. Elder. Dr. W. H. Butler, presiding elder of Greater New York and Long Island district of the African M. E. church for the past fourteen months, and who savers his connection in that capacity to return to his own State (Ohio) to take up the pastorate of one of the large churches and congregations, with his wife and the Misses Butler, were Tuesday night tendered by the ministers and monarch. A large gathering, with many prominent clergymen, filled the body of Bethel church, the largest church in the New York diocese. On the platform were sent the Rev. D. H. Berns, the Rev. of Homeland Foreign Missionaries of Homeland A. M. E. church; Dr. Solomon P. Hood, of Orange, N. J.; the Rev. R. F. Giles, master of ceremonies and chairman of the committee of arrangements; H. H. Berns, the Rev. David Eato, the Rev. of Homeland son, the Rev. W. H. Lacey, the Rev. H. B. Gantt, the Rev. William Edwards, the Rev. G. F. V. Gunthorpe, the Rev. A. L. Boulbin, the Rev. Israel Sands, Percell Harris and W. G. Ocronton, programme of studies in interperspased with Tionne Bethel church choir had been arranged. Among those who took part here, Rev. J. Parks, Rev. Faith, Mr. Dennis, the Rev. Kew, the Rev. W. Wells, the son and I. W. Wells. The response was made by Dr. Butter after Mr. Wells had met with a substantial purse on behalf of the ministers and hymen of the district. ONLY MEMBER DESIGNS Representative W.-H. Rogers, of McIntosh county, the only Negro member of the General Assembly, has resigned his office. A brief and respectful letter to this effect was received in the Governor's office. No reason was assigned for this action. The Governor was 'out of the city and could not accept it, but will do so and will order an election for his successor. Inasmuch as McIntosh county is in the heart of the black belt, the Negroes have the majority of votes cast and have elected a Negro representative from county or year. Representative Rogers came to the last General Assembly with his seat contested by his white opponent, Geo. E. Atwood. Speaker Slaton appointed a strong committee on privileges and elections to hear the evidence in this case. Judge Spencer Atkinson, formerly of the Supreme Court, represented Mr. Atwood, and Judge Howard Van Epps, of Atlanta, represented Representative Rogers. After hearing all of the testimony, the committee reported that the incumulative bureaucracy was entitled to his sea, and he was seated. He rarely participated in the debates of the House, but voted on every question. He was quiet, unobtrusive and was well thought of by the members of the House. He spoke in opposition to the disfranchisement amendment and offered an amendment to that bill which sought to exempt from its terms all slaves in involuntary servitude previous to the emancipation proclamation and their descendants. He was the only one who voted for this amendment. Soon after the Legislature adjourned he announced his intention of resigning and it was received. The contest to be his successor will doubtless be entire warm. SURVEYING AFRICA After Awhile the Native Will Know Where He Is and Isn't. from the New York Sun. The colonial powers are making remarkable progress with their surveys in Africa. England, England, England. Its Survey Department organized in each of the colonies. The last annual report of the Topographic Survey of the War Department shows that the British South Africa Company has completed its geodetic determination of the thirtieth meridian east of Greenwich from Cape Town to within seventy miles of Lake, Tanganyika, or about 2,100 miles. This work will be extended to the Mediterranean and will be of service in establishing correct boundaries for the minimum amount of labor, through out the whole of the North and South extent of Africa. The report adds that in each of the British colonies the natives are being trained for work as chainmen and for other survey service, and considerable success has already been attained in this way, particularly in the West Coast, Southern Nigeria and Uganda. In the latter country the Baganda are of a much higher type of intellectual capacity than the natives of them are capable of receiving a fair technical education, and it is believed that some of them will become valuable members of the survey staff. It is regarded as highly desirable to employ all the competency the natives may develop, as the expense of European surveyors is very large. During the last year the British parties in the field completed the topographic survey of 49,000 square miles, at a rate just about the size of the State. The great progress as well as the understanding from the resulting maps will show all the land forms, and all the accidents of the surface, both natural and artificial, as far as the scale permits. It is said that there is no spot in the settled parts of Africa that can nown be placed on the maps within a mile or two of its correct position, and there are thousands of hamlets whose place must nown be accurately known within the maps many living men inner Africa was almess, a total blank on our maps.

EAST ORANGE, Sept. 17. At a meeting of the Negro. citizens of East Orange, N. J., held on Wednesday evening of last week, at which were present men representing the five wards of the city, the Independent Negro-American Republican League of East Orange was organized, and following elected as officers, President, Robert A. Travis; President, Frank A. Reid; secretary, Thomas Smith; corresponding secretary, H. Hamilton Travis; treasurer, Horace Davis. An executive committee consisting of the first three officers, together with one representative of each ward, was also elected. President Travis, at the close of the election, made the following address: election, made the following address: "For some considerable time the need of an organization among the Negro-American citizens which shall have for the purpose of its existence the welfare and betterment of race, there is East Orange being identified as an institution, which shall devote its energies to the uplift of our people within their own spheres, bringing into its fold those of our race who, coming as strangers to our city, know not where to turn or go for that association which will tend to their moral and intellectual betterment. Such is the purpose of existence of this league, and such is the result that I, as your president, will use every endeavor to materialize. The city of East Orange has grown to be the garden spot of New Jersey, its reputation throughout the State and the country is an enviable one, its citizens are justly proud of that they reside here. The culture and well-kept avenues, its clean and well-kept streets, the almost total absence of anything to cause one to wish he lived elsewhere all go to make the people of East Orange proud of their city; and we should have a share in this feeling of pride. We should, however, see, to it that we are justified in taking this share. We should do everything in our power to see that the behavior and conduct of our people on the streets of our city is as chaste and goodly as that of anyone else. We are proud that our city numbers among the poor citizens some of the leading men of our race; gentlemen high in the councils of our nation National life, who are only too ready to give us the benefit of their advice and experience were we in an attitude to receive same. "The purpose of this league, in its very start, is to seek some place where the men of our race may gather for social and intellectual intercourse, surrounded by those influences which tend to develop all that is high and noble in us. This is also the purposes of pledge to you my full and sincere offering for your cooperation and asking for silence and need not those of our racekind or anyone else who have said and will say that the Negroes of East Grammar can never unite for their mutual uplift. Defiance of the failure of men whose visions were narrowed, whose intellects were dwarfed, and whose intellects were very limited, because they have failed is no reason why the desired result cannot be materialized. "As to political affiliation, which to my mind should be secondary in our purpose of organization, because of the greater duty which, I believe, we owe to ourselves in that we should seek first our material uplift and betterment within our own spheres. You know and I know of the great effort now being made to break and sever the allegiance, to strike in particular of the Negro vote to that world which has, given the Nation, the world of humanity, America's most illustrious in While I know that the feeling of umi and discontent which is characteristie the spirit of Americanism to day now being felt in our midst, I ww caution all to weigh carefully the cation of changing party affiliation and thoroughly convinced that you things as they are face to face, and through a glass, darkly" "The league by a manianous vote to date the candidacy of Justice Franklin D. Roosevelt for Governor, ampled to the regular Republican their full support. A smoker will be given by the league, in Hill's Hall, Main and Jones streets, East Orange, on Friday evening, September 27. INVESTMENTS IN AFRICA. Ex-Conan Waller Points Out Some Golden Opportunities. author of THE NEW YORK AGE: Will you permeate me a few words through the pages of this paper, relative to the Akhnian Nuskwar and Dionaeum Syndicate who are endeavoring to develop the gold mines, and cultivate rubber, cocon and various other indus- tries, in the land upon which they have an option. I have been interested in this project for some two or three years and I am satisfied from my experience and observations that with the investment of a little money the part of the black men and women of this country that it will be the means of turning millions of dollars into the hands of the investors annually for generations of years, which hundreds of thousands of capu- lity young men and women who will be able to obtain a position and a standing in our country as citizens and as a business man, which they otherwise could never acquire. I have talked with Professor Smeaton, the expert mining engineer, who is a graduate from the College of Mines, of Columbia College and has had twenty years of experience in the examination of gold in South America, Mexico and other parts of the world and who has just returned from Africa where he has made an examination of these properties for the gold named syndicate and brought with him specimens of gold taken therefrom, together with specimens of cocoa, rubbish, coal and other precious metals in exhibition at 16 and 17, 28 Broadway, New York for the examination and inspection persons interested. It has been a question which he pleaded me for years, why the blah and women of this country he in silence toward Africa and its people, man go there and make millions and the black men and women of country stand by in silence and comment. Yours for the Race. JOHN L. W 20. Calver street, Yankers, N.Y. THE WOMAN'S CONVENTION Great Work Being Done by This Organization Efficient Secretary and Prominent Worker—Mission Home in Africa and National Training School in Washington Plans. WASHINGTON, September 17th.—On Wednesday morning, September 11, at Vermont Avenue Baptist church, Rev. George W. Lee, pastor, the great wheels of the Woman's Convention, Auxiliary to the National Baptist Convention; were set in motion. Miss Nannie H. Burfoughs, of Louisville, Ky., is corresponding secretary. Seven years ago the Negro women of the Baptist denomination decided that they would have a convention of their own, to be entirely managed by themselves. Since that time they have gone steadily forward, each year being more successful, and in the fiscal year just closed (September, 1907) they raised over $13,760 for missionary and educational purposes and $2,933.22 for the training school movement. The greater part of this money was raised by the Secretary herself, who traveled almost constantly from one section of the country to the other, holding missionary meetings, institutes, etc. Then there are three efficient home missionaries, Mrs. E. E. Whitfield, Mrs. Lula M. Jackson and Miss M. M. Kimball. It is remarkable the great work being done by the good women of this convention. On November last, seven large boxes and three trunks were sent to their missionaries in South America and Africa. They are now making an appeal for one hundred bolts of unbleached cotton, fifty bolts of calico and gingham and three hundred spools of thread, one hundred papers of assorted needles and five hundred thimbles. A needlework exhibit showing the handwork of the women of their race is being held in the lecture room of the church. In her seventh annual report, the Secretary has advocated that every church ought to have a wide awake children's missionary organization. They are already in touch with one hundred and fifty children's bands and hope to increase the number. The idea is also brought forth that there is great work in the rural districts to be done, the women and girls in those localities being sadly neglected. Well prepared rural district missionaries are needed. It is hoped that $2,500 will be raised for a "Mission Home" at Cape Town, South Africa. Rev. D. E. Murray, who has charge of the work there, is now in this country attending the meetings of the National Baptist Convention The Woman's Convention is also supporting a missionary at Middle Drift, South Africa, presided over by Miss Jeanie Sontumtu, who has held that position since the decease of Rev. J. L. Buchanan on December 19, 1906. Another plea is being made by these women for more Young Women Christian Associations throughout the country. Ever since the organization of the Woman's Convention, the Secretary has at each National meeting brought to their attention the matter of a National Training School for their women and girls, in which all the arts, sciences and professions would be taught. She regards such a school as a positive and growing necessity owing to the demand for trained hands in the religious and secular world. The proposed school will train women as Sunday school teachers, and missionaries, as stenographes, typewriters, and other professions, also laundresses, cooks, Sand houseworkers. At the meeting in Memphis, Tem- last year, Washington was selected as the most desirable place in which to locate the school. A six-acre tract of land situated on Bennings Road (on what is known as Lincoln Heights) about twenty-five minutes' ride from 15th street and New York avenue, has been secured for $6,000. On the place are a well built four-story frame house of ten rooms heated throughout by furnace, a number of fruit trees, a splen- dled well and a large stable and barn. It is desired that $25,000 be raised this year to begin at once a building suf- ficiently ample to accommodate the hun- dreds of women who are seeking training. Even before the building was secured, there were at least twenty-five applications from women and girls from various States. The convention will be in session from September 11 to 16. A splendid program has been arranged for each session. There will be missionaries from Africa and South America. WEDDING AT PATTERSON. Brilliant Social Function at Home of Mr. and Mrs. S. G. Walker.

FRATERNAL NOTES OF THE BLKS Grand Secretary J. Wetherford Melman Mortgaged—Other Offers—Land Ice Ellie' Home Donated. Grand Secretary J. Welfred Holmes was elected after a most concentrated effort to defeat him on hearay by those who had axes to grind. Brother D. W. Parker stayed in the field up to the last moment and then declined in favor of Brother George E. Bates, of Jersey City. Brother Parker's kindness in declining the nomination of grand secretary and throwing his strength to Brother Bates wasn't accomplished at the technological moment. Brother H. H. Bates, the last number of cause of Brother Bates, lost a number of strong supporters by his abrupt manner and uncoureousness. At times he was absolutely uncontrollable. The writer championed the re-election of Atkins and Holmes from first to last, and frankly admitted it to Bates in open session when asked his position relative to the office of grand secretary, the writer, Richard McIntosh, admiring Brother Parker; the seal of the projectors of Brother Rates' nomination didn't meet admiration and approval. To embarrass the office of grand secretary at that time would have serious consequences; for the best interest of the order. To drive the incumbent prematurely, we should be prepared when certain internal problems in the fraternity, are approaching satisfactory and early solution, would have been to endanger Western, Southern and Southwestern support—still a great factor in the order. The New York delegations still need the liberalizing influence of a strong leader, and I prefer liberalization rather than alienation. Great good can come by grouping of our utilities, but to conserve and to strengthen seems our present duty in order to occupy a larger place in the world. Here lies the way to unity. The elements of time must enter into the realization of great and far-reaching schemes of Elkdom, especially among lodges of relatively small wealth, and if we are to have unity, which I greatly desire, we must make sure that we do not into the minds and hearts of those who are naturally our fellow-heliers. I count the wise, systematic co-operation and sympathetic friendship of Brothers J. Edward Hawkins, E. M. Shoecraft, H. E. Jones, R. L. Phillips, Thomas F. Harper, Cabell Calloway, J., F. H. Hunt, J. H. Hunt, T. Brandy, Thomas W. Allen H. C. Sterrett, W. C. Hueston, Q. J. Gillmore, James A. Ross, R. M. Johnson, P. A. Clark, G. William Frazier, J. W. Harris, Col. J. M. Brown, Dr. John H. Williams, Dr. Meymw R. Bibb, Prof. H. Herbert Pace, C. P. Lancaster, H. Strawbridge, I. Woodridge, and several others in furthering the election of Brother J. Wilfred Holmes for another administrative term. The following are the other officers: Raymond L. Phillips, 19, grand esteemed leading knight; Cabell Calloway, 91, grand esteemed loyal knight; John A. Jones, grand esteemed lecturing knight; Thomas F. Harper, 40, grand tyler; E. M. Shoecraft, 43, grand esquire; James H. Anderson, 45, grand inner guard; William Lewis, 3, grand organizer; Dr. R. E. Jones, 11, grand medical examiner; Louis B. Anderson, 43, grand legal adviser; and H. Strawbridge, 54, elected grand trustees for three years. Other grand trustees are: I. Woolridge, 46, and Brather Brown. Dr. R. E. Jones, 11, grand medical examiner, Richmond, Va., donated five acres of land to the grand lodge for an Elkhorn home. This piece of property is twelve miles below Richmond, at Jonesboro. A committee three, consisting of B. John D. Jones, 10, H. Stockridge and C. 11, Jones, this committee will shortly go to Richmond and after inspecting the ground at Jonesboro, secure the necessary legal transfer papers and present the same to the grand trustees. A committee of three were appointed on arbitration to meet a similar committee on the ground at Jonesboro to their findings and conclusions to the grand exalted ruler, who will report his endorsement or rejection at the ninth annual grand lodge session, St. Paul, Minn. August 25, 1988. The following Authors compose this important committee: Edward Hawkins, 19, W. L. Anderson, Cincinnati, O.; James A. Ross, 119, Buffalo, N. Y. The ninth annual meeting of the grand lodge, Improved Renewal and Protective Order of Elks of the World, will be held in St. Paul, Minn., August 25, 26, 27, 28, 1988, letter was read in the lodge, and letter was sent out inviting the grand lodge to hold its next annual session at St. Paul, Richmond, Va.,失住 the convention by nine votes. While at Chicago, news reached the New York delegation that Manhattan Lodge, No. 45, had lost a member in the person of Brother Clinton E. Wilkins, the funeral service was held on August 25 at Bethel A. M. e church West 25th street, Manhattan. Brother Wilkins departed this life on Sunday evening, August 25, at 11:30 o'clock at his late residence, 132 West 153rd street. A large attendance of the tribes were present to pay their last salute to their beloved Brother Art, and offerings were both rare and beautiful. Interment at Mt. Olivet cemetery. Mrs. M. E. Hodges, 35 Lincoln street, Hampton, Va., called at the office of the Elks to see the writer last Wednesday, relative to establishing a Temple in the East Mrs. Hodges is grand daughter ruler of the Grand Temple of Lady Elks, and Past Daughter Ruler of Tribet Temple No. 1 in Hampton, Va., who was organized November 1903, and now has a bonaffine membership of sixty houses. Twelve delegates representing eight Temples attend the grand temple sessions at Chicago. Those eight Temples have a membership of 500. One hundred and twenty-five ladies took the grand temple degree. They have a very healthy treasury and always meet their obligations with surprising purity. It was our pleasure to meet Mr. Farnsworth, a former secretary of 271 Princess Anne avenue, Norfolk, Va., while in Chicago. Both Mrs. Hodges and Mrs. Kelly feel, justly proud of the class of ladies associated in the Temples, and they expect a large increase of Temples between now and the Grand Temple meeting at St. Paul, Minn. Mrs. Hodges is on route home from Chicago and expressed the pleasure of her visit to our Grand Temple of which she is the guest of Mr. and Mrs. Stockley. Next week we shall have more to say relative to the Temples in the fraternity. The whole fraternity feel highly gratified to know that we have carried our eighth annual convention through thus far so successfully. It has been a large undertaking, mentally, physically, and formally, and has required a great deal of effort. We are grateful that the Anthers individually, and perhaps one of the best and fastest results is that we have made many friends and the fraternity stands today in a place far above where it stood when we began our improved movement in 1988.

The True Reformers and the Shriners have come and gone. But while they were here hotels, boarding houses and the homes of private families were thrown wide open to the strangers and there was no end (till the end came) to Virginia hospitality and good cheer. There were between two and three thousand True Reformers in and around True Reformers' Hall last Tuesday morning when at ten o'clock President Taylor rapped the Grand Fountain to order. The sessions were characterized for their harmony and the general satisfaction of previous editions of the annual address of President Taylor was a complete summing up of the work accomplished within the fiscal year which ended September 1. No less replete with facts and figures concerning the work of the order was the report of grand worthy secretary W. P. Burrell. His report showed that the organization had grown from a membership of 100 in 1881 to a total of 81,616 that there had been paid out in sick and death benefits $2,236,989.25. The report of Cashier R. Hill of the resources and liabilities of the bank amounted to $681,288.46. The mercantile department, which conducts a chain of commerce and general provision business, did $100,000 worth of business during the year. The Reformer, the organ of the or- ganization, conducts a general printing busi- ness. and conducts a general printing business. The real estate owned is assessed at more than $400,000. This is comprised in twenty-seven buildings and three farms. In addition to this the organization leases twenty-three buildings. The Hotel Reformer has the Old Folks for 190 and the New Old Folks Home has a farm of 343 acres, with well built buildings thereon. The regalia department manufactures all of the regalia for the organization. The building and loan association, recently incorporated, is doing the business of a general building and loan association. Friday was "True Reformers' Day" at the Jamestown Exposition. So great was the crowd that went down from Richmond that it required four special trains of ten coaches, each leaving at intervals of fifteen minutes each, to commute the crowd. The transportation of the crowds was in charge of a committee with J. C Robertson, Esq, as chairman, and so well was everything managed that there was not the slightest hitch. In the main auditorium of the Negro Building an elaborate program was rendered. There were excellent addresses by President Teller, J. C Robertson, Esq, W. Organizer, and J. C Robertson, Esq, W. Organizer. That public spirited race woman, Mrs. Maggie L. Walker, of the St. Luke organization, was present and delivered an address replete and full of good advice to the race. Though a woman, Mrs. Walker can always be rehealed upon to contribute her share to any movement that tends for the uplift of the race. Short addresses were also given by Mrs. G. B. Jackson, W. J. Johnson and R. L. T. Hill. The Grand Fountain choir, under the direction of Mr. Edward Ellis, Jr., with Mrs. Elizabeth L. Stanford as organist, rendered several selections during the exercises. One of the most interesting sessions of the Grand Fountain was the public meeting of Tuesday night. An elaborate program was rendered Captain B. A. Graves made the address of welcome, which was a most eloquent address to apologize there by M. Batey, of Chicago. There were other addresses, and music by the Grand Fountain choir and solos by Miss Bertha Sweete and Mrs. Sadie B. Jackson of Pittsburg. The officers for the ensuing year are W. I. Taylor, grand worthy master, Edward Ellis, Jr., grand worthy vice master; W. P. Burrell, grand worthy secretary; Rev. J. T. Carpenter, grand worthy chaplain; R. T. Hill, grand worthy treasurer; Mrs. Rosa Thompson, grand worthy mistress; J. H. Nutt, grand worthy guide; Mrs. L. O. Hodge, grand worthy assistant guide; Mrs. L. Giselle semen; M. T. Hail, grand worthy picture; J. H. M. Taylor and Mrs. M. E. Holmes, grand worthy heralds; Mrs. Eliza Allen, grand worthy governess; Mrs. Frances H. James, past grand worthy mistress. Board of directors—W. L. Taylor, A. W. Holmes, J. C. Robertson, J. S. Smothers, J. L. Cobran, James Allen, S. W. Allen, T. W. Taylor, W. L. Anderson, Edward Ellis, Jr. W. P. Burrell, J. T. Carpenter, Mrs. Rosa Thompson, R. O. Oliver. All in all, the twenty-seventh annual session of the Grand Fountain, United Order of True Reformers, was the most harmonious, and successful in the history of the organization. Thirty-one State and the District of Columbia had representatives. Another notable gathering in Richmond last week was the eighth annual session of the Imperial Council, Ancient Egyptian Arabic Order, Nobles of the State. This body met in Pothian Castle. There were about fifteen hundred of the Nobles and friend in attendance. The council was called to order at the high noon Wednesday by Illustrator Jacoel F. Wright, of Richmond, imperial potentiate. There were only two sessions of the council, the first of Wednesday's session was the annual address of the imperial potentiate and the report of committees appointed at last year's session. At Thursday of session officers were elected and in capita F. Wright was re-elected imperial potentiate. This is Noble Wright's first appearance unprecedented in the history of the imperial Dates and trivial Wright is one of Richmond, in most substantial citizens. He is a captain. JIMMY BRITT JOE GANS human of sterling character, fine ability and has the confidence of this community. Editor J. H. Murphy of the Baltimore African-American Ledger was re-elected imperial recorder. The Shriners paraded Wednesday and Thursday nights. Thursday night's parade was followed by a picnic at Magnolia Park, the feature of which was an exhibition patrol drill of the Arabic Patrol of Medina Temple of New York. Thursday night's parade was followed by a literary, musi- cal and banquet. There were present at the imperial representatives from Medina Temple, New York, Paramid, Philadelphia; Mecca, Washington, Jerusalem, Washington; Sahara, Alexandria, Mocha, Richmond, and temples of El Park, Birmingham, Montreal, Toronto, Jacksonville, Tallahassee, and Charleston, S. C. "Open house" was kept by the nobles of Mecha Temple for the accommodation of the visitors. GEORGE ST. JUDEN STEPHENS THEATRICAL NOTES Strongest Afro-American Companies Are Well into the Season. Williams and Walker opened their season at Ashbury Park, Thursday, August 20 in their new musical piece, "In Randanna Land." Ernest Hogan is rehearing his "Oyster Man," another new song by the band. He Dudley as the star, has been gossiping about the "Black Patti Company," inaugurating the season over in New Jersey. The band was under way. Never before in the past few months, from the Afro-American standpoint, has gothic been so much interest manifested as in the past few months. The band shows now in the field and the friendly trusty that has inevitably developed. Surprises and predictions are already with him, and "which will be" will be the coming season, but until the latter part of September, when all the organizations are ready to sign the memorabilia of the gaming table, under the verdict will have to be withheld. The Pokin Stock Company finished a two works engagement at Harlem Music Hall. It was pleasing to note the large attendance. In part, it was the largest of the engagement. The presence of the Chicago organization in the metropolitan proved conclusive that a colored theatre, conducted on the same times as the Pokin Theatre Chicago, would be a success here. One of the principal features of the (tiger) playhouses was missed in New York. The musicians, who were brought together by Joe Jordan, and who helped to make the many musical numbers so popular. On the next visit of the company they, will be brought along, it is promised.

"Jack" Knocked the Sailor Down Three Times in One Round. BURKE: Comm. September 12. Jack Johnson, the colored heavy weight, unclassified Sailor Burke in their six-round bout before the Liberty A. C. in Smith's Theatre here to night, but at the end of the sixth round the Sailor was on his way very wobbly and banging to his antagonist for support, but still in the ring. The affair could hardly be called a contest. It was merely an exhibition in which Jack Johnson showed what a heavier boxer and accurate hitter he is, and that he is infinitely cleverer than Burke, much too strong for him as a "miser"; but as a fighter for the Sailor to even斗 compete with him. Burke was down or wrestled to the floor fourteen times in the six rounds. In fact, he hit about five times oftener than his glove collided with any part of Johnson's anatomy. It was a pitiful exhibition, and only served to show that Burke can take a lot of punishment. Nearly every time a round he hit at Burke after the first round he hit a synth to the floor, and every time that he settled himself reclaiming on the canvas, he settled himself soundly and rested for nine seconds. **Dolphin Jack O'Brien** sat at the ringside, and observed that it was merely an "set of charity" on the part of John to allow Burke to stay the six rounds. He added: "I think that Jack Johnson is a wonderful boxer, puncher and fighter. I wonder would whip Jeffries, and I don't blame me of the big fellows for 'fucking him.'" PHILADELPHIA GIANTS WIN Take the Strong Hoboken Team Info Camp-Score 1 to 0 in 12 Innings HOOKEN, September 16. A most interesting game of baseball was witnessed by about six thousand fans, who journeyed to Oak and Jersey City to Hokken, Sunday. Sandy and the second game between Manager Doub's, New York Ginnets and the crack Philadelphia Giants, colored champions having defeated Hokken in their first encounter, it was said that manager Doub had put his pitchers there, thus allowing training to offset the Giants' strength at home. It was thought by many that the Hokken would win out, as they had defeat all corners, including the jersey City team of the Eastern League the Sunday before. It was a pitcher's battle from start to finish with faintness support on either side to the twelfth inning there had been a pitching match reached third. In the Giants' half Hill excelled, based out a two-bigger to the right field, went to third on Metcalleans out. Caufield to Hoffman. Lloyd came to bat and hit, followed by Lloyd excelled, being a favorite among the pitchers. In a fast shortstop, and the awkward wrist in a fast bats, he brought laughter and cheers, but with his awkwardness he landed on the for the second time, bringing Hill home with the last pitch of the game. Hokken came up for the last bats and went out in one two-three innings. The Philadelphia Giants have again won the colored championship of the world, with colored Giants and Cuban Giants tied for second. The Giants will be played off at Washington Park.

There was formed in this city some years ago an athletic association which at first here the name of the Greater New York Irish Athletic Association Among the very first members were Michael J. Cregan, known as the athletic cup; John J. Flanagan, the hammer thrower, and Mayer Prinstein, the broad knuckle change in name to the Irish-American athlete with the organization begun to broaden many more men were taken in whose names did not seem to indicate Irish extraction. One of the recent recruits to the club staff of athletes is John B. Taylor, the New York University of Pennsylvania, who is the first player to earn midshipman and record balker. The has hard been one athletic meeting recently at Celtic Park, the club's grounds. He has not appeared and it may be said that he adds more popular with the Celtic Park than Taylor. In fact it is hard to say whether even Martin Sheridan, well liked though more highly considered than the Negro Jack, is in every in which Taylor starts he is on scratch, or very close to the post of honor because of his ability. And every man of the Irish contingent around Taylor win. SOCIETY AT OSSINING Late Visitors and Travelers—Social and Personal Notes OSNYNNO, September 18, 1871.

PHILADELPHIA, September 10th.—It is the fashion of some superficial observances to term the general steadfastness and exactness of Philadelphia's Afro-Americans in business matters "slowness," but the present status of our financial institutions may be cited to show that occasion requires. Philadelphia Afro-Americans are as ready, as strong and as efficient as need be. We are less rapid in our ventures, less fulsome in our games, and less liable to losses. Our ways are the ways of the simple carried into the domain of the great. This explains much. Finance is the lubricating oil of the world, the art of making the wheels of life turn with as little waste of material or effort as possible, of vitalizing the substance and making it a being. It is often denounced as a sordid occupation but rightly understood is a blessing. Prominent among our financial institutions which are of very healthy nature, we have the Afro-American Realty Co. capital $30,000, who declare a six per cent dividend annually; president J. S.

The Barbers' Association will meet in Maennerchor hall on October 7; 8 and 9, when they will try and convince the somewhat indifferent legislators that inspection of barber shops is a necessity to public health, and that barbers should pass before a State board of examiners just like doctors, lawyers and pharmacists, the public may look forward to the regularly inspected shaving and hair cutting establishment, where everything from the hot towels to the barber's teeth, will have to pass a rigid examination before business can be done. Albronzed by the sun of mountain and seashore, the Lincoln University students are already beginning to return for the college term which will start in a week. A few days ago the dormitories were empty and a walk around the campus would have been as solitary as a desert isle, but now every evening dormitory windows glow with light and everything is assuming a very busy air. Madame E. Azala Hackley, America's greatest Afro-American prima donna soprano, who has been studying under the great masters of France for the past two years, is now in London, and will sail for this country on September 18th.

Signed by Boston National League— Troubles to Begin. The announcement that the Boston National League club has signed a colored pitcher for next season has already started a little zephyr along the baseball circuit which is liable to develop into a hurricane with a poor defense. Tenney soaped up and dining a problem which stares him in the face. The fact that baseball is strictly an American game has caused a general resentment against foreigners, except the Irish and German, by players as well as the public. The players will be a foreignborn player in the field with all the welcome that the game offers, but as a rule they make it so, bumping for a foreign-born player that he usually backs out with good grace after the first whirl around the circuit. These affairs have been smoothed over by diplomatic management, the employment of this agent from Honolulu is like a match in no wonder magazine. Some ten years or more ago, the same thing was tried in the National League, but the colored second baseman who, if remember right, was with Boseman, found an opportunity that he had quit. The Negro infielder who played with Harvard for several years and then signed a contract in the New England League lasted a little more than a month. Although Joy is a Mabay and Negro, he is as dark as an Ethiopian. Throughout the circuit of the two leagues the ball clubs stop at hotels which have long since drawn the color line, and therein Manager Tenney is going to have his first trouble. Players always go in pairs, and are allotted to their rooms, and therein comes another bump. Bill Joy (that is the name of the new pitcher) will have a hard road to travel when it comes to finding a rommate. Joy managed to get along for a while in Frisco, and it may be that Tenney gets some information out there, but just isn't sure what experience it has an interesting experience yet untold. They say Joy is a cracking good pitcher, and is a native-born Hawaiian, but unless he can get the aid and catered of his teammates his career in the major league is likely to be a sad affair. A HATTERSBURG PHYSICIAN Dr. J. H. Howard, His Successful Work and His Model Drug Store. HATTISBURG, Miss., September 18. Except for the fact that the American people like to hear of examples of individual or racial progress, in spite of difficulties, I would be ashamed to write so often of the accomplishments of the Afro-Americans in the State of Mississippi. Whether it is because there are more Afro-Americans in this State, or whether the conditions are such as to give them greater incentive for racial endeavor, is not so much a part of this article, but I do know that to the square inch, there is more real progress to be found in Mississippi among our people than in any other Southern State. I have just been attending the grand encampments of the United Woodmen, a secret organization organized in this State and under the direct supervision of Prof. J. A. Q. Williams, of Holly Springs, the Supreme Banker. The grand encampment for the second district was held in this place, Rev. S. A. Cowan, of Meridian, being the grand governor, and it is here on this meeting that there has come under my notice DR. J. H. HOWARD the work of another young physician of the Afro-American race, who in spite of difficulties, has won a competence contributed to the uplift of his, ecerly. One would think that Hattiesburg is a country place, for indeed it has been only within the last few years that the place was recognized on the maps of Mississippi. Due to the advent of our pr two new railroads and the development of the lumber industry, Hattiesburg has had a phenomenal growth, until it now has within its corporate limits more than 20,000 souls, half of which can be found among the people of my race. It would seem then that with due diligence in one's work, and with competence and ability, the average professional or business man among our people would prosper. The same difficulties, however, that are to be found in establishing business, enterprises that have to rely solely upon our people for support in other communities were met here, and the fact is pertinent that the smallest establishment masmiled by a man of another race, located in a thickly settled black neighborhood would get greater patronage than a strictly race enterprise. Directly from the Meharry Medical college of Walden University, Dr. J. H. Howard came to Mississippi among his own people here to labor for them. I say labor for them, for in no profession in the South does the young Afro-American give more liberally of his time and services to his people than in that of medicine. The people, as a rule, are so poor that often seven cases out of ten are attended regularly and faithfully with no thought of compensation, and even in cases where remuneration is given, it is very seldom that the pay is commensurate with the service rendered. His first work was done at Holly Springs, but as is usual with the thoroughgoing Afro-American physician in smaller towns in the South, the field is soon exhausted and he is forced to took for one wider, larger and replete with greater opportunities. Thence to the growing town of Hattiesburg, where the competition was sharp, there being already one physician of the race in the field, and the white physicians "condescending" to do three-fourths of the work among the Afro-Americans. So great was the feeling on the advent of this new physician with a record, that he received a threatening letter to leave the town immediately. He has yet been here two and a half years, and by his courteous treatment of all people, and his proficiency in his calling, he has steadily won the confidence of his professional brethren, and the patronage of a goodly share of the people of the city. His drug store is a model of neatness, the clerks are affable and courteous, and in the Southland, where it is so difficult for the younger people to find cool and refreshing drinks. Dr. Howard has provided a soda fountain and satisfactorily supplies the taste of the most fastidious customer. It is only the belief that THE New York Age delights to place the accomplishments of our people in the South before the public, and that the readers of THE Age delight in reading of them, that I am prompted from time to time to place these facts before them. The path of success in this Southland is not a rosy one. It is not every man that can succeed. It takes more than ability and pluck. It takes courage. Courage to face the conditions squately in the face, with the dogged determination to succeed in spite of hell, for that is about the most faithful representation of conditions in this region. Dr Howard has accumulated some valuable property in Hattiesburg, owns the two-story building in which he does business, rents out the flat above, owns a beautiful home and other valuable and remunerative property in the city. In addition to all this, he is a young man, and is accepted fully in the counsel of his people throughout the State. He is treasurer of the Mississippi Medical Association and has served as Grand Medical Director of the Knights of Pythias of the State. He has an accomplished wife, the daughter of Hon. L. K. Atwood, of Jackson, who is a leader of the society in Hattiesburg. Altogether Dr. Howard is doing well and his success serves as an incentive to others in any walk of life, for it is only by competence, faithfulness and solitude that he has won such a high place in the confidence and esteem of his fellows. While there are others who operate active enterprises THE NEW YORK AGE: THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 19, 1907 The New York Age Publishing Co in Hattiesburg, Dr. Howard is easily the "pollest Roan of them all."-He has the best wishes of all the people who know him, and, in my long acquaintance with them I have not found one man who can be counted his enemy. HORACE D. SLATER. LITERARY AFRICAN CHIEF Mutahangarua, of German East Africa an Author and Publisher. From The New York Sun. The richest and most intelligent native chief in the Western part of German East Africa is becoming well known in Germany because of his excellent qualities and his great helpfulness, as the ruler and the king of the ruling white power. Every public act and many of the private enterprises of the Sultan Mutahangarua are deemed worthy of record in the German newspapers, because he has much power and uses it wisely for the good of his people and the Germans, as well as for the advancement of his own interests. Mutahangarua is lord over a beautiful and healthy region to the West of Victoria Nyanza in the Bukoba province of the colony. His country is the Kisiba district, which is the mountain from 4,000 to 8,000 feet above the sea. More than 50,000 people own him as their native ruler. The Germans give him entire charge of the collection of the but tax on the 10,000 habitations of his subjects and pay him a commission for the work. This is one of the few districts in the colony where the white rulers have no difficulty in collecting the full tax imposed upon the natives. When Mutahahazaria first board of the arts of reading and writing he became very eager to acquire them and gave a body to his country. He has been a student for nearly twenty years, and is now one of the most proficient native scholars in tropical Africa. He has some imagination and a gift of literary expression and has recently begun to publish his writings both in his native language and in Ki-Sunhelli, the coast tongue which is known all over tropical East Africa and to some extent even to the Atlantic Coast. The following facts from the Dutch-Ocean Province of Dar es Salaam, the capital of the colony, are the latest that have been published about this remarkable map. He knew long ago that some of the learned men of Europe were especially desirous to collect information about the customs and arts of the less advanced peoples and their folklore and traditions. This was an opportunity which the Sultan gladly embraced. He wrote a history of his people as far as tradition and the memory of living men could hand it down. He made a collection of tales, histories, verbs, songs and myths that are current in his country. He described his land with its diversity of resources, the advent of the new civilization and its effect upon his subjects. He wrote from fulness of knowledge, and the advantage which his high position and exceptional intelligence gave him. Of course his writings are not scientific works, but they have their special value as giving the native point of view and as a large collection of facts recorded by a man who desires to tell the truth in a matter of facts. If a large proportion of Arab blood mingled with the Hantu blood in Mutahangara's veins he would have been more diffuse and indulged in many speculation. But his style is concise and his statements are not long spun out. He has collected the raw materials for his writings, which will doublet give full credit to the native historian and chronicler. A man of means, he is able to be his own publisher. His writings are now being issued from his own printing press. Many of his subjects can read and write in Arabic, and he is among them. He saw to it that the art of printing was represented among the industries taught to his subjects. He imported a printing press, and trained natives are now putting his pages into type and turning out the printed sheets. The Sultan is the first native author on the shores of the greatest of African lakes. A while ago Mutahangarana decided that his residence did not befit his position in the world, and he is now erecting a new palace, which is to be a wonderful building for Central Africa. - It is three stories and is to have a number of towers, plenty of windows and European furniture. When ground was broken the Sultan appropriated $10,000 for the bare building. Perhaps he will find, as other builders do, that first estimates must be supplemented by later appropriations. The Sultan was the first native to introduce coffee culture on the mountain slopes of Central Africa and his plantation, the German planting companies, though most of his trees have not yet come into bearing. He employs hundreds of workmen to care for his trees, about 1,000,000 in number, that spread along the mountain sides for many miles. His first planting, of 80,000 trees, is now yielding well, and British steamers calling to the Uganda Railroad, which carries it to Momhana for shipment to Europe, where it brings a good price. It was thirty-seven yeah after Stanley tramped through this region before a single trace of white influence reached it. No one would have dreamed that such a story as this could be written to-day of the enlightened ruler of a land that but yesterday, was sleeped in barbarism.

During the discussion of the Madden bill for cleaner gas, Congressman Legare told the following story of a cook he had once brought from home with him. She was a splendid servant, but she didn't know anything about gas to cook with, so he went to the kitchen with her to explain about the range. So that she could see how it was operated, he lit each of the many burners. While still melting the muggered oil from the kitchen, and the felt her, he guesses you will find that it will work all right now. Martina.
