VOL. XX. No. 41 Reliance and Satisfaction Most Impressive Feature of Western Life—Langston an Agricultural Settlement. LANGSTON, Okla., September 23.—Twenty out years ago a wave of restlessness stirred the negro population of the Central and South States of the South. A spirit of dissatisfaction with surroundings and conditions and yearning for a change of environment and for a greater tree-downtime and expansion, which in all times from Antamam to Roosevelt have imputed men to wanderings, took possession in an extraordinary degree of these people of the former slave States and wrought a very perceptible depletion of the population, especially on the plantations and in the smaller towns. I amane threatened the labor supply and agricultures resorted to drastic measures to check the movement. Notany North Carolina and Alabama passed stringent penal laws directed against immigration agents and labor contractors, whose rosy accounts of the pleasing prospects of the Southwest and whose nattering offers of good wages were working navy for their planters. The haughty and domineering set-sufficiency and economic tyranny that characterize the landlords of that part of the land were suddenly brought race to face with the fact that free labor and cheap land tax no count of teudal traditions except to render them abortive and calamitous; and, although the activities of the immigration agent and labor contractor were measurably lessened by the laws enacted against them, the restiveness of the people, yoked to a burdensome labor system and subjected to a political regime growing daily more antuterable, waxed ance. Our foreign emigrant devotes the first years of his efforts to the accumulation of a sum sufficient to pay the passage to these shores of relatives left in the old country, and these in turn write the message of freedom and opportunity to others, so that without the efforts of great navigation companies the stream of foreign emigration will continue to swell as long as opportunity invites or our laws permit. In the same manner the spirit of dissatisfaction was kept alive in the South. The mind of early immigrants who, following the climatic parallel, settled in the West, wrote back to the cottages and cabins of the cotton States, accounts of the new and better country, and, in spite of the privations and the hardships incident to all pioneer undertakings, their accounts for the spirit of unrest and kept alive the cry of "Westward Ho." the conquest and settlement of the West, its rapid and wonderful growth and development furnish the most romantic, thrilling and instructive chapters in our national history. No other American achievement has created so successfully the consciousness of a national life and, despite sporadic and superficial distempers, no section of the country will play so important a part in solving the many intricate, delicate and vexing problems to which the high purpose of our institutions, the multiform and complex character of our civilization and the heterogeneity of our population give rise. In the great mow of its possibilities, perfect adjustment of all difficulties and a happy accord of conflicting aims and sentiments will be realized to the greatest extent possible. Not time alone, but room as well is necessary for the working out of the great problems for which America was predestined to or which she is here; and room enough the West provides despite the tide of population which set in its direction nearly a century ago, and has yearly increased in volume. Not unnaturally there is much misuse on the part of the Afro-American people of the extent of Afro-American settlement in the West. For centuries circumstances beyond their control combined them to the last and Southeast, and especially during the period of flood tide of Western immigration. From the western border of the recognized cotton area they saw the sunset, and straightway turned their eyes toward its rising. When later, amid the contusion of a dismembered society, helpless, landless and accustomed only to the guidance of the north star, their restraint was suddenly removed, they were in no condition and had little spirit to venture upon unleashed paths. The slave spirit and the pioneer spirit are not abilities. God and Moses had the greatest difficulty in making the Israelites accomplish an eleven day journey in forty years and that, too, when at the end of it were "great and goodly cities," "houses full of all good things," "fine yards," and "live trees" which they neither built nor planted. From the house of their bourgegee the Afro-Americans had no Moses to lead them even when God had destroyed the house. There were many Arsini, it is true, and much good service did they render, notwithstanding frequent apostasy when in sight of the golden city, and notwithstanding their blameless, heightened. Net within less than a score of years, at numbers of them turned their westward and began the long and dry march of a thousand miles and came to a land full of promise indeed, not yielding the fruit and comfort only to the determined application of brawn and muscle seasoned with almost superhuman patience. Even earlier, before the close of the war, fragmentary bands of frozen or ingestive slaves crossed the Mississippi and found a retinue in Kansas which the spirit of John Brown of rendered as safe as Canada, while rier still individuals had scaled the containers or rounded the Horn to dig THE NEW YORK AGE. gold on the Pacific slope. gold on the Pacific slope. The great exodus, however, of Afro-Americans to the West took place in the decade between 1880 and 1890. In the short space of a few years more than a quarter million Afro-Americans took up the Western trail and scattered settlements from Texas to California on the south, and from Ohio to Washington on the north. Thousands of the most respectable, the most well-to-do and most progressive families disposed of their innovable property, the fruit of years of careful husbandry, and with hearts and spirits to endure dangers, hardships and toll, joined the great caravan of Western home-seekers. They were fit material for such an epoch-making undertaking. Few of them have ever returned, and the great mass of them by dint of industry and by grace of the fertility of the land, have made good and are enjoying comforts, privileges, a security and prosperity not possible in the South for several generations to come. In 1900 the Negro population north of the Ohio and west of the Mississippi is 2,334,480. The bulk of this population is found in the States of the Central West with Kansas, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Indian Territory and Texas leading. That there is room for ten to fifteen million more is plain to any one who has had but a glimpse of this vast plain and plateau region whose fringes only have been settled. The settlement of Afro-Americans in the West has been attended by several significant and noteworthy achievements and experiments. The acquisition of land in quantity impossible in the South and East, the accumulation of wealth and the enjoyment of advantages which produce a healthy, mainly and self-reliant independence, are developing a type of Afro-American citizenship quite different from that found elsewhere. Especially has there been awakened the consciousness of the power that ensues from close communal life and cooperation. The independent and corporate Negro community or municipality is an evolution peculiar to the West, which is fraught with far-reaching consequences. The self-reliance which the West develops in every individual who strives for success is being fostered in the race, and it is taking on a new strength born of the feeling of mutual confidence, interdependence and the pride and real of a common aspiration. Oklahoma and Indian Territory fur- nish instructive instances of this success of towns built and governed by Negroes. The experiment has been tried with some success in the former slave States Mound Bayon, Mississippi, being a splendid example; but the land system of the South and the moribund state of its political and civic life are not con- duitive to the expansion of the experiment. Oklahoma, however, and other parts of the West, afford almost un- mitted opportunity for it, and in Oklahoma the thing has become an accomplished fact and a settled policy. Indeed, only the lack of a quick appri- cation of advantage or of the means and ability to make use of advantage, as well as the fatally characteristic want of con- tinue in those who seemingly possess in a rare degree the gift of fatigued work, prevented Oklahoma from becoming practically a Negro commonwealth. When the Oklahoma country was opened for settlement (it is customary to say "for white settlement") the exclusus from the South was in full swing, and a serious effort was made to immi- mate it with Viro-American home-seekers. Several thousands of them came and took up good claims in the fastest portion of the country. But the land was too fertile and inviting for the slow, bullying and intermittent process of Afré-American compass, especially when the purpose was divided by the politicians and land sharks of Texas and Arkansas. The plan of erecting a Negro com-muneworthy out of Oklahoma was conceived by F. P. McCabe, and it was principally to his conventions that a mea-cum of success was realized. The career of Mr. McCabe has been specially notable as well as successful. It fur-merishes a rare instance of an Nite Ameri-can following a political course with out encountering an untimely Waterloo he had the good fortune to cast his heart in the West as a time favorable to the political uphement of a capable col-rod man, and he has had the good sense to stay put, thereby avoiding the partiality of Oklahoma into which the will of the wisp of propensity national promo-mentals. As deputy and author of the Territory of Oklahoma he is today as loo-nent of spirit and sin in tem-ment as he was twenty five years ago when, at the second time he was cleft and author of the State of Kansas by the flattering maturity of nearly sixty thousand votes. He has the distinction of being the only Negro in the United States who ever succeeded himself by popular vote to a State office, and his prestige in Oklahoma furnished a large part of the capital of the Democratic party in the recent campaign in this State. Reaching that his scheme to a Negro State could not at that time be carried out, Mr McCabe determined to contact a Negro agricultural settlement large enough to support an incorporated Negro town. Accordingly in 1900 he purchased 200 acres of the best farming land in Oklahoma ostensibly for a sheep ranch. Here his aim has been fully and marvelously realized. That it should remain a Negro town through all views studies, he named the town in Langston and advertised its advantages throughout the East and South. On the original 220 acres a town of fair size for the West about 400 population has grown its people are industrious, thrifty and contented. Every one owns its own home and from one to several tracts of land. The stories of which there are several, the printing office, the cotton gin and many other business enterprises are owned and conducted by Negroes. The government of the town is visited in a town council of three members, the president of it being the mayor, who are elected annually by the trefoilers. They pass ordinances for the regulation of the town and levies taxes. A town clerk, a municipal street commissioner, assessor and metary public constitute the other chief others. There is not a more orderly of better governed town of its size in the United AN APRO-AMERICAN JOURNAL OF NEWS AND OPINION NEW YORK, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 26, 1907 States. The pride of the people in their municipality is perhaps unprecedented, and seems daily to increase, the women being fully as patriotic and as loyal to their customs and institutions as the men. The town has exceptional educational advantages. The State University for Negro youth is located here, which is attended by about four hundred young men and women from the two Territories and the adjoining States. It has a good public school and a Catholic parochial school where there is one white child in attendance. THE COMMUTER AND HIS GARDEN. SAY, WHAT DO YOU THINK O'THAT FOR A STRING BLAN? South and east of the town for a distance of twenty or more miles are farms owned by Afro-Americans. The average size of these farms is a hundred and sixty acres. Several men, however, own two or three farms of this size. The land produces everything. It is a common saying that if you can't make a living in Oklahoma, you had better quit trying. Cotton is one of the chief staples in the vicinity of Langston, and many of the farmers raise from twenty to thirty bales-a year besides a large acreage of corn and other cereals. One of the largest cotton buyers of this section is a Negro. Last year he handled $70,000 worth of cotton, and it is likely that his operations this year will exceed that figure. He is one of the principal owners of the large cotton gin established here, and the owner of exceedingly valuable farm lands. The largest general merchandise store here is a cooperative enterprise managed by two up-to-date young business men, one of whom is the postmaster and mayor of the town. They have a well-stocked store, and do a large business with the town folks and the farmers within a radius of twenty miles. There is much daily travel, but it is heaviest on Saturdays, which is the principal trading day, and on Sunday which is strictly given over to attending church, and the impression which the going and coming of these two days make upon the mind of the observer can never be forgotten. Every man has his team, his buggy or carriage, which are kept in the very best condition. The condition of the stock alone is one of the best signs of the progress these people have made. But the most impressive feature of the life of these people is the supreme satisfaction they take in their environment. They seem, indeed, to live in a perfect Arecadia which is rendered all the more blissful by the thought of the woes from which they have escaped. Their one thought and care appear to be the prosperity and peace of the community, and while they have a full share of human foibles, complaint and grumbling are not in the category. They work and save and possess their souls in peace. J. L. LOVE WILLIAM MILLER DUTTON DEAR. An Old New Yorker Who Ranked High in Scottish Rite Masonry. William Miller Dutton died at his residence, No 1647 Atlantic avenue, Brooklyn, on the 10th inst., after a long and painful illness. Funeral services were held at the above number Saturday evening at 8 o'clock, and the remains deposited in Cypress Hills Cemetery Sunday morning. William Miller Dutton was one of the last of the old time New Yorkers born in this city eighty five years ago. He was the son of a Presbyterian clergyman, Rev Solomon Dutton, who was in charge of a congregation in Newark, N. J., although he maintained a residence here in New York, where he brought up his two sons, William and Solomon, all of the family being well known and looked up to for their evident intelligence. William, who has just passed away, was educated in the common schools and then sent along with the late Dr Peter W Ray to Ecoleon College, Maine, from which institution both graduated about 1550. Ray graduated as a Doctor of Medicine, and Dutton as a Bachelor of Science, and down to their deaths, which have taken place but ten months apart, were more or less associated. Dr Ray became the most pursuant grand commander of the Supreme Council of Scottish Rite Masons, founded here in 1654, by the late Baron A. Hugo de Bulew, of the Supreme Council of France, and Dutton became second in command, serving in his exiled position down to the death of Ray, when he was in turn elevated to the highest position in Masonry. He served only a short time and then resigned because his taking health would not permit of his active duty in the office. He was one of the only few colored men upon whom were ever confronted the highest degrees in Masonry by any legitimate authority, leaving but one by virtue of the original number. SHERIFF SAVES MURDERER Takes Him from Jail to Thwart Gathering Leaders Cornwall, O., Sept. 22. Henry Dalton, a Negro, who last night shot and killed Chris Horn, a Big Four Railroad engineer, at Delaware. Ohio, was brought to Columbus to night by Sherif Matthews, to save the prisoner from violence at the hands of some of Delaware's enraged citizens. James Knowlton and Dalton, workmen in a quarry at Sunbury, were riding in a buggy that crashed into a carriage driven by Horn. The engineer uphraised the mon for their carelessness. Knowlton started to tight with Horn and was getting the worst of the light, when Dalton drew a receiver and shot Horn. Dalton was captured and locked up in the county jail. Horn shot this morning, and as the news spread groups of exepted men began to gather in the streets. There was tats of lynching, and the situation became so threatening that Sherif Matthews shipped out the back door of the jail with Dalton, drove to a station on an interurban line, and brought him to Columbus. "Have you n few moments to spare?" "Young man," said the capitalist severely, "my time is worth $100 an hour, but I give you ten minutes." "If it's all the same to you," thoughtfully replied the visitor, "I believe I would rather take it in cash." Philadelphia Lodger. SAY, WHAT DO YOU THINK O'THAT FOR A STRING BLAN? HE'S BE CAREFUL!

Unionville Citizens Will Not Wait on the County Authorities. Lincoln, Md. Sept. 15. It has been determined by the Young Men's Enterprise Association of this place to open a school here for the purpose of educating their own children, and for that purpose have employed a teacher to be good by them. The school will be held in a building owned by the association. Lincoln county does not give us African American children more than five months' schooling in the year, and the opening of this school is for the purpose of implementing this condition of affair. Mr. L. T. Cooper is the president of the association, which is doing a good business, having a general store. They will probably be assisted by members of the Manager Methodist Episcopal church here and at other contiguous points. Brunswick Murdered: Porsson, 16, N.Y., Sept. 23. Mrs. Frank Korshak, the wife of Louis Rorthek, U.S.N., was murdered by some unknown person in her home in Park View, the exclusive white residence of the city several days ago. The local police seem to be completely battered by the mystery, but bodies which they keep to them others. Two attempts have been made to hold an impost, but each time it has been postponed. The entire community has been arrested by the districtly crime, and it is the correct wish of all Viro Americans in particular, that the murderer be apprehended. Thomas Vrocher, a respectable young Viro American, is held by the authorities as the guilty party, but as yet no evidence has been brought to show that he was remotely concerned in the deplorable affair. Sher Into Crowd. Honors Milliard, a Negro, of Elstreet street, Brooklyn, was held yesterday by Magistrate Harris, in the West Side Court, in $4,000 bail for trial on a charge of robbery assaulting Thomas Hayden, of 1st West 2nd Street. Milliard declared that he and a companion were assaulted by a gang of young men at 11th javno and West 5th street early yesterday. To protect himself, he fired two shots into the crowd. One of the bullets struck Hayden in the left side. TO TURN DOWN TAFT Awful Tale of the News Bureau CHASE CHIEF PLOTTER According to the Plausible Story Told by the Ever Alert Washington Correspondent Who Has Space to Fill Galore From The Brooklyn Daily Eagle. Washington, Sept. 20. The Taft Presidential supporters in the Administration have discovered a surprising state of affairs among the Republicans at the District of Columbia. In the very shadow of the White House a plot is being latched to humiliate both the President and the latter's choice for the President, Secretary Taft. The consortium is fathered by the Negroes of Washington and is inspired by Government in growing out of the dismay from the army of four companies of the Twenty-fifth Infantry for alleged participation in the Brooksville riots. The plan in brief is to secure the election early next year of two delegates to the Republican National Convention from the District of Columbia who are known to be both Reservist, anti Tatt and anti everything else. For as the President's wishes with reference to the nomination are concerned. With this as a beginning, the agitation will be extended to the country at large, with the hope of inducing the Republican organizations of those States in which the Negro is a big facet to follow the sort of the District Republicans and send one but two Reservist men to the convention. In addition, it is hoped that the spectacle of this action in the part of members of the party at the capital will not fail to make impression upon the white Republicans through the United States. The foregoing facts have been communicated to A. L. Vortys, manager of the Taft presidential boom. By one of the Secretary's friends in Washington, together with the injunction to take the steps necessary to checkmate the platers. The delegates from the district will be chosen in February, ahead of most of the States. The selection is made by the primary method. Usually something like 12,000 votes are cast, and perhaps one-third of these are white. The rule has been to choose one white and one Negro delegate. The white delegate for several conventions has been Dr. Robert Reyburn, one of the most prominent physicians of the city, while the Negro delegate has been W. Calvin Chase, a lawyer. The first suggestion made by those here in opposition to the President on account of the Brownsville affair was that two Negro delegates be chosen for the 1908 convention. It was argued that this would emphasize to the country the feeling of the colored voters in the matter. With the proportion of votes in the primaries heavily in favor of the blacks, there would apparently be very little difficulty in bringing this about, but upon careful consideration it was determined that this would not be wise. As matters stand, then one white and one Negro delegate will be selected, but the white man will be entirely in sympathy with the movement against the President. This means that Dr. Reyburn will be left at home, for it is understood that he is a supporter of the administration as to the next nomination. Chase will be the Negro delegate. He admitted today that the scheme as outlined above was an accurate presentation of the situation. "This is a movement against President Roosevelt and Secretary Taft in the Republican National Convention," he said, "and we are going to press our case home with all the means at our hand. Our grievance primarily is against the President and not Secretary Taft, for it was Mr. Roosevelt who gave the order dismissing the colored soldiers. Mr. Taft countermanded the order, which was very good as long as it lasted, but he was too weak to stand up against the President, and finally revoked the countermand. We are, therefore, opposed to both Mr. Roosevelt and Mr. Taft and are for Senator Foraker, who championed the cause of the dismissed troops, or any candidate whom he favors." As soon as the primary election in the district shall have been held, appeals will be made to the Republican organizations in the Southern States to line up against the administration and see to it that no one who will vote for Mr. Taft is elected as a delegate. Little doubt is felt that this course of action will receive the moral support, and possibly even more material aid, from sources favoring the interests of other candidates, so that an exceedingly interesting situation is likely to develop out of what is already regarded here as the "Washington movement." Naturally, the administration is expected to take note of all these happenings and do what it can to check the movement at the outset. Through the influence of postoffice appointments and other Federal patronage, Mr. Taft's friends are, of course, in a position to exercise a potent force upon the various political machines in the South. President Roosevelt, too, has in his service as surveyor of the port of New York, the one man in the United States perhaps best fitted for handling this matter. He is James H. Clarkson, who was intimately associated with and gave almost invaluable aid to the managers of the Harrison and McKinley campaigns in dealing with the delegates from the Southern States to the National convention. But it is the understanding that Mr. Clarkson has allied himself with the political fortunes of George R. Cortellon, Secretary of the Treasury, who is known to cherish presidential aspirations, no matter how hard he may be attempting to conceal the fact from the public. Mr Clarkson was in Washington about two months ago and no denial was made of the stories printed at that time, that he had undertaken the role of political adviser, along certain lines to the secretary. Without desiring to patient upon Mr Clarkson, it may be fairly inferred that the President might institute to place the case of his candidate in the hands of a person who appeared to be favorable to the candidacy of another. I that the administration is much concerned over the outlook with reference to the Negro vote admits of little question. The advocates of Mr. Taft's nomination have noted with apprehension the outspreading of feeling over the Browns' the affair in almost all the conventions, religions and secular, of colored organizations held in the past spring and summer. Every influence has been brought to bear in head off action by these bodies in the form of resolutions condemnatory of the President and Mr. Taft, and while they have been in the main successful, it has not always been possible to hold back the volume of wrath of some of the speakers. The truth is that the Negro political leaders have been surprised to find that the rank and file of their race are not amenable to their arguments, when it comes to dealing with the dismissal of the Negro soldiers. Here they always appeared to be willing to listen to reason, but on the subject now foremost in their conversations they seem to be unavailble in their conversations. LYNCHING AT MOBILE. Body Riddled with Bullets and Wurden Sign Hung on It. Mountain, Ma, Sept 20. The body of Messrs. Dessert, a Negro, swung to a tree for several hours today in the suburbs of Mobile, bearing a card with this legend: "Negroes must be taught that death will always follow attacks on white women." The man was lynched about 7 o'clock ten an attack on Mrs. John Becker about 7 o'clock last night. Mrs. Becker was alone when he gained access to the house. Sheriff Smith and a number of officers captured him about 7 o'clock this morning, and started with him to the Mobile jail. They were ambushed by twenty masked men, who covered the officers with rihks and demanded the Negro. The officers yielded the prisoner, who was hurried to the Becker home, where he was identified. The masked men then took him, about 200 yards up the street, hanged him to a tree, and trilled his body with bullets.

Father Hannigan and Franciscan Sisters Doing a Great Work Among Race People—School System Below Standard. RICHMOND, September 23.—The Catholics are doing a great work among the Afro-American people of the city. There is no flare of trumpets, but it is a gradual and persistent work, which is bringing recruits to the Church in large numbers. As large as is the Afro-American population of the city (approximately 42,000), there is not a kindergarten in connection with the public schools for their children. The Catholics have taken advantage of this derelection on the part of the city and have established a kindergarten for Afro-American tots, which for the past two years has been successfully conducted. The St. John the Baptist filustrial school, another one of their educational ventures, is a well-attended school for boys and girls, which provides for a good English education, including church history, in addition to an industrial training. A day nursery for cast-off children and orphans has been founded. It is known as the Asylum of the Holy Immuneces. The nursery has large, air rooms, open-air playrooms. The kitchens, baths and sleeping rooms are constructed with an eye to good sanitation. A maternity hospital has been established for wayward girls. This hospital is in the charge of a matron and two assistants, all of whom are Afro-american widows of middle age, and admirably suited for the work. The founding of this institution is two-fold—a refuge for unfortunate girls and a home where they may be reclaimed to society and made to become good. To that end, the girls are allowed to remain at the home if they manifest a desire to reform. Positions are secured for them as servants in good families and they are allowed to remain at the hospital, paying a nominal sum for use of bed room. The hospital has a large reception room where the girls are allowed to receive proper friends at stated hours. St Joseph's church, their house of worship, is being remodeled preparatory to placing a $2,500 pipe organ in. The church, asylum, hospital, school houses and Episcopal residence occupy a beautiful block in the Afro-American section and is well improved. The Franciscan Sisters in charge of the school work do not confine their work to the schoolhouse alone, for they give lessons in music and needlework. They go through the Afro-American sections ministering to the sick and the poor and are truly doing a great work among our people. The Rev. Father Hamigan is priest in charge of the work. The public schools of the city will open for the 1907-08 session a week from to day. As there have been two or three marriages since the election of teachers in June, there will be several new appointments made this week. An outsider would think that the curriculum of studies in the high and normal school for Afro-American pupils provided for a business course. This especially so, in view of the large number of business enterprises conducted by our people. But not so neither bookkeeping, stenography, typewriting nor commercial arithmetic is taught. There are no languages taught and what was once a high and normal school is now nothing more than a grammar school. We have a business college and that with Virginia Union University and Hartshorn Memorial College supplies the deficiency of the city school authorities. I am of the opinion if a committee representing the Richmond Negro Business League were to appear before our city school board and place the matter squarely before the members, the importance of adding these subjects to the course of study would be seen and the request granted.

He was formerly interested in the Y.M.C. A. bage Boston, Mass., Sept. 23.—Symphony Hall, Boston's beautiful temple dedicated to music, was the scene of the opening session of the International Congress of Religious Liberals last night. Only 8,000 of the 8,000 people who clamored for admittance were able to get in. The scene within the hall was most inspiring. The floor seats were packet; from the balconies clouds of visible witnesses looked down; the spectators stood when they could not sit, and the open doorways were gorged by people unable to get any further in. Most of the delegates to the congress attended, and from their places on the platform gave a remarkable cosmopolitan character to the proceedings. With the exception of Russia, nearly every open nationality had its representative at the meeting. Under the expansive canopy of four great world faiths, Boston extended her hand in welcome to the Jew and the Gentile, to the African, the Mohammedan and the Hindu. The rendering of Luther's classic hymn, "A Mighty Fortress Is Our God," by a chorus from the Handel and Haydn Society, prepared the meeting for its work, and the impression made by the burst of sacred music was depicted by the singing of Frederick L. Hosner's opening hymn. The triple of applause burst forth when Dr. Edward Everett Hale, chaplain of the United States Senate, Boston's "grand old man," and Booker T. Washington came to the platform, Dr. Hale leaning heavily on the stalwart arm of the colored orator from Tuskegee. Only three speakers had been selected to extend greetings to the delegates, who have come from every corner of the world, these two, and Dr. Thomas C. Sliper, of All Souls' church, New York. In referring to the three speakers, the Boston chorus said: "In the addle the Rev T. R. Sliper, of York, spoke to the intellect of the gathering, while Edward Everett Hale, whose reception was demonstratively affectionate, appealed powerfully to its heart. "But for the foreign visitors the most interesting of all the pleas made for liberal religion was that uttered by an ex-slave, raised by American opportunities from a Virginia plantation to the platform of the International Congress of Religion leaders and Thought leaders, reserved for those slave, the Negro educator and orator, to shake the great audience out of its Sunday demeanor. To Dr. Hale it had risen and extended the Chantanquax salute, but when the Tuskegee strode to his place at the front, the great audience instantly as by one impulse, came to its feet and vigorously welcomed him by hand-clapping, the waving of handkerchiefs and cause the leader the dign delegate to the platform of the man whose fame is as well known to them as it is to his own countrymen. Dr. Washington's address was a message of "Good Will to Men," pregnant with rich thought and optimism. He is the only American Negro to appear before the Congress, in company with such men as those named, and, in addition, President Elijah of Harvard, Dr. William H. Johnson, and Dr. Donation of the New Old South church, Boston, and the foreign university professors and religious teachers, as he was also the only Negro present, along with his secretary, Mr. Emmett J. Scott, and Mr. Charles Alexander of Alexander's Magazine at the great reception at the Somerset Hotel, Monday evening, at which time brief addresses were made by Hon Curtis Guild, Jr., Governor of the Commonwealth, Professor Monet, the retiring president of the International Council, Sir J. R. Harrington, Baron of the British Foreign Unitarian Association; Dr. Meybom, of Cromington; Professor Reville of Paris; Professor Pheidder, of Berlin, and other friends.

The sessions were taken up with the productions of papers assigned, and while it would be interesting to note the valuable points brought out in each yet the task would be a burdensome one both to the writer and reader. A word, however, should be said of some of them, as they appealed to the race as a whole. Mr. Howard of Cyprus, a Yorkshire on Wisconsin Work in a Northern City."

John Francis Lee, the coming Negro poet of America?" Will he take up the minstrel harp that was dropped by the late Paul Laurence Dunbar?" asks the Philadelphia Tribune in its issue of May 26, 1906. Paul Laurence Dunbar was undoubtedly the greatest Negro poet. This is universally acknowledged by the best minds of both races. If he could return to earth and read the poetry and prose of the Rev. J. Francis Lee, of 324 Bank street, Norfolk, Va., and analyze the same, he would find them musical, full of learning, taste, study, spontaneity, strong in phraseology, beautiful in imagery and rhyme, excellent in meter, and fire and light burning and sparkling in each line and train of thought as he described the dulcet, odd, and ill of the antebellum Negro and signs optimistically to-day of the progress of the progressive Negro. He is the author of, "What You Gove to Do Wid Ham?" "Discords and Harmony," "The Evening Dream," "The Emancipation Song," but his last ```markdown ``` one best volume is the *Prince in Ebony* of 112 pages, neatly bound in cloth the cover being beautifully illustrated with a pretty Southern scene. He is a great lover of the works of bharata and Dumar's poem. When William Inspired Mr. Lee to compose "When Susanna Strikes the Stirrane Key." Only thirty-five years of age. Mr. Lee began life a poor boy working hard and patiently in corn and wheat fields, brickyards, barber shops and other places, doing whatever his hands found to do to make an honest dollar to feed the and educate himself. He has been supporting himself ever since he was nine years of age. By his own努力 he has been teaching the schools of Philadelphia and the institute for Colored Youth there, and later, Princess Anne (Md.) Academy Bennett College of Greenshore, N. C. Maryville (Temple U. College) and graduated in 1955 at Lavingstone College at Salisbury, N. C. receiving from the latter college the degrees of V.R. and A.M. He is of pure African blood, as black as silk, weighs 200 pounds, is five feet eleven inches tall and is strong and robust yet modest and affable. He is a Virginian, the poetic fire kindling as he played with the boys on the banks of the river, and an artist. In order that the readers may get a better knowledge of this young man and his progeny ability, we will quote what some of the leading newspapers of both sexes say about him. Mr Lee has a musical ear and gift making and is most eminable in poetry dancing with New York life. Boston Ad- dresser My Dear Nor Lee, Lee thank you for you your beauty. Lee shows teaching and life.

Lewis, who died the Dunham of the South, will undoubtedly take the place of his Philadelphia Daily Dispatch. Rev. 1 Frank L. Lewis of Norfolk, is bound by many as the coming Negro poet of the country and a fit successor to the late Paul Dinbar. Through all of his works takes a love of nature proclaims, and his various poems contain that undeniable peculiar to the New York (Worcester) (Mass.) Daily Telegram.

Mr. Lee's book is fine. We await his next volume. To pay him the Dear Lord, the best thing Mr. Lee has written was this poem reminds me of Grey and his Elggy. Any poet would be proud to have his name attached to a poem like this: "The day man's task is ended, His heart is light and gay, His steps are homeward turning. At the closing of the day." The good wife comes to meet him. While children rump and play. For labor centres are ending. At the close of the day. The following tribute from Mr. Lee to Dunbar is excellent: "Like nephyrus of Eden, Or frat dawn of day, If life chanting was pleasing. Melody la la la, He sing to the lowly, The haughty and proud, The flamme of sorrow, The weeping that bowed." Like Burns, who found great themes in small things—which other writers overlooked, such as the daisy, the mouse and even a a——that he saw on a lady's bonnet, one black poet finds music in the Swert Tanker separate car law and many other similar car Mr. Lee also writes in the Negro dialect.

Within the past ten days rumors have been current that the Cole and Johnson show was to soon close indefinitely. Such gossip was occasioned, however, on account of the week's vaudeville engagement Cole and Johnson had for September 16, at Cook's Opera House, Rochester. Yet out of all the talk there has developed a piece of news which is absolutely true. Cole and Johnson's "Shoofly Regiment" will be managed by Stair and Havlin and not the two song-writers from now on. The deal whereby Stair and Havlin have assumed control of the "Snooily Regiment" was consummated the latter part of last week while the company was playing at the Folly Theatre, Brooklyn. Just what the considerations were involving the chance has not been made public. Being under the strong wing of the heads of the popular price theatres Cole and Johnson should receive booking for the season that would play them in the best popular-price theatres in which Williams and Walker and Ernest Hogan are booked. Last season it was due to their poor booking that the show did not end the season with a nice sum of money to the good. Imagine week after week playing one-night stands in the South with a big company of sixty-old people and several carloads of scenery, and the answer to why they did not flourish is easily given. The piece having been acquired by the heads of the popular-price theatres, it it expected that these two persevering young men will get such houses as the Houk Theatre, Cincinnati, Grand Opera House in St. Louis, and the Grand Opera House in Kansas City, where they will not be compelled to play two shows daily. The show is a good popular-price attraction, and if Stair and Havlin think well enough of them to place them under their management, they should give them good booking. All the big colored shows with the exception of Ernest Hogan are on the road. Williams and Walker have been out a number of weeks, by the writer has not been able to see "In Randana land," owing to the company playing out of New York: Flattering reports are being given of the new piece, which is described as a musical show with all the numbers bad. At present they are doing a bunch of one-nighters which should put everything in great shape for the large cities. "The Smart Set," with S. H. Dudley, opened the season last week and with a much stronger cast to support Mr. Dudley than last season, "The Black Politician" should make good. Last year the cast was very weak in spots which handicapped the comedian in many ways. Ernest Hogan is rehearsing night and day with his new show, "The Oyster Man." This is the last week of rehearsal, as The Oyster Man" opens at Lima, O. September 25. After playing the rest of the week on one night stands the piece opens in Chicago at the Great Northern Theatre September 29. From what I have seen of the Hogan and the William & Walker shows I believe that the former will prove the comedy hit of the season, while the latter will secure honors from the musical end. Determined to make his new piece as funny as possible "the unbleached American" has added to his cast John Rucker, the former comedian for Black Patti. Rucker is playing second comedy to Hogan and they create some very funny situations. With Carita Day as leading lady again this season, Bob Kelley playing the role of an old preacher, Murriel Ringgold back in the fold, Ella Anderson, Craig Williams and the two Dees in the cast, I look for some sure enough comedy. Mr. and Mrs. Bob Kelley entertained a number of their friends at a luncheon in honor of Mrs. Kelley at their resilience several days ago. Among those present were Ernest Hogan, Carita Day, Tom Logan and Gus Hall. LESTER A. WALTON. ORDAINED A PRIEST. Mr. John J. Plantecigne Entera Catholic Priesthood. HALTIMORE, Sept. 23. Mr. John J.

TO TEST SUNDAY CONVICTION. NEWARK, N. J., Sept. 24.—Counselor George A. Doughless on Thursday appeared in the police court before Judge B. J. Parkin, who have set aside the sentence of five convicts, who had been found guilty and sentenced on Sunday. Mr. Doughless was instructed to get an opinion from Judge Ten Eyck, of the Court of Common Pleas. Lawyer Doughless holds to the opinion that punishment will be adjudicated fairly. The police judges have been trying on Sunday persons arrested on Saturday nights. Recently five Afro-American women were sentenced Sunday, and Counselor Doughless has been retained by them to contest the legality of the punishment on Sunday held at Kemper Park was well attended and a great success.

RESULTS OF PRIMARIES No Changes In This County—Woodruff Lease Districts After one of the bloodiest primary days, known in New York politics, the list of district leaders in Manhattan, both Democratic and Republican, remains unchanged. In Richmond, Nicholas Muller, for twenty years a Tammy leader, went down to defeat. Some 258 arrests were made in Manhattan and The Bronx in the course of the day, 114 of which were in connection with the primary elections. In all other boroughs the total arrests were 18, only one of which was directly attributable to the election. In the Fourteenth District of New York county, where William Larry carried on a bitter and thorough fight against the old leader, W. J. Boyhan, the result was so close that a contest is inevitable, and there is a strong chance of such a contest reversing the apparent result. The vote stood 1,252 for Boyhan to 1,345 for Larry, a difference of only 24 votes. State committees are elected from Senate districts. The Fourteenth is one of the three Assembly districts in the Senate district from which Murphy was elected to the State Committee. Another one of the three is the Sixteenth, where State Chairman Woodruff was detained in the only two districts in Kings in which he made a fight. In the Fifth Assembly District, Robert A. Sharkey, who has been interned for years because he has held offices under Federal and State patronage, won despite the opposition of Mr. Woodruff's friends. The complete returns were not in by midnight, but it was conceded that he had won over Jesse Fuller, Jr., his adversary, by more than 700 votes. The biggest victory, however, came in Mr. Woodruff's former home district, the Eleventh. In this district Pestmaster George H. Roberts has held sway without dispute until this year. He was a Woodruff man, and a fight was made against him. His adversaries, headed by Eugene H. Travis, raised the house of Governor Hughes and carried on an aggressive fight throughout the district. Their fight was not regarded seriously, and it was not supposed that they could win. To the surprise of the Roberts supporters, when the returns came in, Travis had won, his vote being 1,362 to Roberts's 997. Plainfield Church News Fine Concert at Tareyton Tarrytown, Sept. 24.

Andrew Carnegie, in his Glasgow address, made it plain that he thinks a great deal of New York. Very good! And New York thinks a heap of Uncle Andy. 'Since the death of Carl Schurz, he is the most intellectual citizen of the Republic. --- Stephen V. White, who was long a prominent factor in Plymouth church, at the age of 77, after forty years as a Wall street speculator, finds himself voted off the stock gambling exchange for gambling therein without a permit. Paradox on paradox! Oklahoma was Democratic by some 40,000. New Oklahoma will probably always be an igniting scab on the big body of the Republic. It has a worse pin-up of race variations than New Mexico, and before they fuse and become good there will be things doing, for they are there in the constitution of it. --- Secretary Taft has been ordered to the Philippines by President Roosevelt, and the Twenty-fourth Infantry has been ordered from the Philippines to the United States by Acting Secretary of War Robert Shaw Oliver. The ghosts of firearms appear to be moving. The diplomacy of politics makes strange self-fellows.

Why not? There were Jews there bristling with speech who think and speak in all modern languages, including Igandese, where some of 'em want to separate Palestine. Now what would the children of Jacob do in the land of Esau? Get you to the land of Judah, you Zimbabwe of Israel, who find a Palestine wherever your tents are pitched, and especially in Europe and America. The Japanese government is putting in $5,000,000 worth of war preparation in a foundation for the manufacture of death-dealing engines, in addition to the costly agencies it already has. There is nothing short about a Japanese but the height of him and his ability to stand taxation. As the ally of Great Britain, which has in the Lar East more territory than it needs or that its warships can protect, Japan has been bought by American labor capiloggers in British Columbia, who are dog eat dog of the San Francisco sort, that a hungry yellow hide is toight to eat. War guns pointed in the right direction, with poor rear behind them, are the best argument for peace everywhere. The misfortune of the Negro all over the world is that his month is his gun, and Catra is held with his arm. Hughes Growing in Favor. Governor Hughes, of New York, grows steadily in favor as the possible candidate of the Republican party for the Presidency. The New England and the Middle States, which gave one to the intelligent public opinion of the nation, are coming to his support with substantial匀unity. The fact that the democratized Democratic party, strangling in the death agonies, is looking to New York for a Yankee serves to show popular drift toward Governor Hughes. The second fiddle to the Hunters how for the Gov't errorrship may yet become the third Democratic orchestra. Now wouldn't that be a quiet freak of all Nick, who always exasperated with the liquid of inebriation these be warts to smash up. And the Feathers Bryan still bowls, it wants to be? Make a Place to Stand. We are beginning to feel the life giving influence of the Business League meeting at Uptown. The fact that the spirit of John Brown and the hosts who fought with him to make Kansas a free State was there, and worked in the insertions, has everything to do with it. When our Mr. Fortune called upon Bishop Abraham Grant to ask God to get into the men and women there, it created much confusion, because irreg ular, but good followed it.' The paramount and direct influence, of God in the affairs of men and nations cannot be overlooked even in a meeting of business men without provoking the hell of confusion. The children of Ham had better begin to understand this fact, because the devil is hot on their coasts in this Republic, in the West Indies, in Africa, in the islands of the sea. They should see this. We need a business standing in this Republic. The Business League indicates many directions in which we can get it; but unless the membership carry into their daily life the teachings of the prophets and the Christ, they will fail even when seeming to succeed. It is written in the Book. Dr. Washington has done a great deal to stimulate the business development of the race. He receives the plaudits of all good people for his untiring zeal, those who hinder him in the good work throw stones in the pathway of the people. They ought to understand that, because the plagues of Egypt are come again in them in the seed of Ephraim and Mannaseh, and they will get what is coming to them. The good will succeed here because it is good. The South, Bryan and Roosevelt. The Brooklyn Daily Eagle, with truly professional solicitude, has been feeling the pulse of the South in the matter of Bryanism. In other words, it has been getting opinions about the Peerless One from editors of the leading newspapers of the South. The results of the canvass indicate several things to the satisfaction of The Eagle. In the question of the advisability of remoninating Mr. Bryan opinion appears to be about equally divided. It is made clear, however, that Mr. Bryan retains his place in the admiration and affection of the Southern Democrats and that there is no individual who makes so general an appeal as the Nebraskan. Many of the some men who declare that they are personally opposed to the renomination state that there exists a strong sentiment for Mr. Bryan among the Democratic readers of their papers. What The Eagle considers a most striking and significant feature of its canvass, however, are the answers received regarding the Roosevelt policies. There is a consensus of opinion amounting almost to unanimity that the Roosevelt policies have greatly strengthened him in the South, and the opinion is expressed that the renomination of the President might result in splitting the "solid South." Several editors appear to be of the opinion that the sentiment, of the South is that the reelection of Roosevelt or a Roosevelt Republican would be in some respects the most desirable event for the South. The Eagle may swallow these sentiments as genuine, but they have the ring of the same old bunco game, that the South is ready to play on any Republican President who may incline an ear. The white South wants all the Federal paper can capture, but it is not going to give anything in return for it. When President Roosevelt discharged the black soldiers on account of the Brownville affair and when he appointed the Louisiana tabacco man to the Civil Service Commission, he received Southern applause by the yard. But there will be no votes for Roosevelt in the Democratic National Convention, it is safe to wager. The Dead and Live Spirits in Africa life which returns again to air, water and vegetation? The spiritually dead nations are such as Spain, Portugal, Italy and France, which have indurated the blood of life by isolation from outside mankind. In like manner the whole of Africa and Asia are dead, except where the spirit of Europe has got into them, as in Morocco, Algeria, East and South Africa and Japan. Everywhere else we find nothing but pure spiritual and physical mud, which stinks in the nostrils of the Creator, who made it and wants it to stir itself up and grow, and not stand still and stagnate and stink. A WIDER AFRICAN MOVEMENT Some Conciliations Drawn from the Present Trouble in Morocco. From The New York Sun. The question has not yet been answered how far the present troubles in Morocco are connected with a wider African movement. It is generally admitted that France is not eager to penetrate the country with arms. As an unexpanding nation with an export trade that addresses itself mostly to peoples appreciative of art and luxury, she might well hold the conquest of that barbarian territory to be not worth her blood and powder. But France's reluctance has also more NEW CONDITIONS IN THE Interview with Mon. J. T. P. LITTLE ROCK, Ark., September While enroute to some Westments a few days ago, I Memphis long enough to with my friend T. T. as in usual in nine cases our conversation turned to the dency of the South to belithe out the Afro-Americans an increasing evidence of raci as seen on every side. Mr. acknowledging all of these, he means a peasant, and with his brilliant and success in public life, largely in the Which have been the live nations of history? Assyria, Babylonia, Judea, Greece, Rome. Why are they dead? Why is the spirit of them living in the life blood of every living nation? Because the spirit life went out of them, as it went out of the swine, and left them dead. They flocked by themselves, ate themselves up, and God blasted them, as nations, scattering the spirit of them over all lands and into all peoples. What lands and peoples? Russia, Germany, Great Britain and the United States. And why are the United States the strongest in morals, religion, culture and the thrift that follows honest toil? Because here are come and abide some of all races, tongues and religions of the earth, which are being ground up into a type of nationality such as has not been on the earth since the last Jew stalked into the darkness over the fallen stones of the Temple of Solomon. It is the commingled spirits of dead nations which make live men, and live men make live nations. Mix the spirit of the babies! is the essence of the law of the survival of the fittest. What are the Stewarts, Barclays, Freemans and other Americo-Liberians but live American spirits, half white and half black, planted among the dead blacks of Liberia, in whom the spirit of death has strained the spirit of life, so that it hath become Stinking mad. What did they plant themselves there for, to eat themselves up, instead of eating up the natives by infusing into them the high spirit of American Christian hoping and doing. Let the doubting preachers search the Scriptures through spectacles of faith and they will understand that the spirit of death is the spirit of life. WASHINGTON EXTOLS THE NEGRO. Accumulated More Than $380,000,000 of Taxable Property. Boston, Sept. 22 - Booker T. Washington, in addressing the Congress of Religious Liberals, said: "Christian civilization is moving forward, not halting of retrograding, and no one is in a better position to realize this than one who belongs, as I do to what is known as one of the unpopular, or disadjusted races. It is a long step from a Virginia plantation to the platform upon which I speak. In America, and in all countries the spirit of the Master is slowly entering all problems that relate to justice and fair play is so in regard to the great problems of the capital, of education and the administration of relations to race, in the securing of all the important, but sure protection and encouragement of the law. "We have a patent example of this progress in the case of more than 20 million Negroes in America, who, in about forty years, in the face of difficulties, have accumulated more than $300,000,000 worth of taxable property, who have acquired nearly half a million homes and farms, who have moved forward to the account that 36 per cent can read and write the English language, who have 16,000 Christian ministers and 21,000 church organizations with $27,000,000 worth of church property. In this connection I want the world to know that the educated Negro is not a rapist and is rarely a criminal of any character. "In the solution of all these great questions we are far from perfection and wrong and injustice still exist, and much serious work remains before the right skill completely triumph. For off I like a hard, serious and perplexing problem at which to work. For myself I would not care to live in an age where there was no hard problem to be solved or weak portion of the human family reached and bled up in proportion we reimbolded up and the weakest, we ourselves are made strong. In the degree that we mute out injustice to the humblest and weakest, in like degree are we degraded and weakened." CITY PASTOR FOR RUGHES Tells Him Fleek Governor In the Ideal Chief Magistrate. In celebrating the forty-fifth anniversary of Lincoln's emancipation proclamation at the Bethel A. M. E. church in West 25th street, Sunday night, the pastor, the Rev R C Ransom, criticised President Roosevelt's action in dismissing the color blast battalion of the Twenty-fifth Infantry, holding on the band, Governor Hughes, as the ideal Chief Magistrate. He also declared that the Negro had fought in all the American wars and had played an important part in American history. After speaking of the dismissal of the colored battalion, he said, "The Negro needs to-day a new emancipation. He should let it be known that the race can no longer be either manager of 'kept solid' by appointing a manager of 'operative positions' in the Government. It requires the reincarcation of the spirit of men like Lincoln Chase, and Summer to behold rising intifader a man like Governor Charles F Hughes. With high patriotism he is courageously enforcing the law in a temperate manner with justice to all." Editor, Karine Still, Breaching Editor T. Thomas Fortune in the ministry would not be a strange shifting of base Mr. Fortune has been a splendid preacher all his life. R W. Thompson in The Indianapolis Freeman A WIDER AFRICAN MOVEMENT The question has not yet been answered how far the present troubles in Morocco are connected with a wider African movement. It is generally admitted that France is not eager to penetrate country with arms. As an expanding position with an export trade that addresses itself mostly to peoples appreciative of art and luxury, she might well hold the conquest of that barbarian territory to be not worth her blood and powder. But France's reluctance has also more positive reasons. The French Intelligence Department with its close knowledge of African affairs must be fully alive to the possibility that something more than Morocco, a difficult enough antagonist to subdue by itself, has to be reckoned with in the deal. There are those who believe that a vast organized anti-European movement, extremist directed by high intelligence, permeates the entire Northern half at least of the Dark Continent, and that Morocco is one of its principal fields. A British officer who has served for a number of years in East Africa and the Sudan makes some interesting statements about this movement in the current number of The Nineteenth Century. Very little has yet been heard of the Seumssia by white men, but how gravely Captain H. A. Wilson regards the potentialities of that fanatical league may be gathered from his summing up: "I must reiterate my firm conviction that Europe struggling in the threes of an African war against forces so great that at the end it is unlikely to a degree that a single white man will remain in Africa." In support of this conclusion Captain Wilson is able to quote the testimony of Dr. Carl Peters. After the yellow, blighted peril! there is nothing illogical in the statement, and are to believe these commissures the war is likely at no remote date to be relieved of his coloured burden of atrocities. The Semisia, a Mohammedan religious organization founded in Africa in 1853 by a lineal descendant of Mohammed, with the main purpose of freeing all Moslem countries from inside rule by a universal jihad, or holy war, said to have its fortified headquarters at Jarabub, situated to the east of the oasis of Siwah, on the frontier between Egypt and Bengalhiz. At Jarabub have been established factories of arms and munitions and depots of all kinds of war material. Thither come cargoes of imported arms via the almost unknown harbors of North Africa. Thither went pilgrimage on their way to Jerusalem, where they estimated the head of the government estimated the Captain Wilson as probably the most important personage to day in the Moslem world. There every year are held tide parliaments of the subordinate Semisia chiefs, and thence its agents go forth by the hundred "to kindle the entire Dark Comment." These agents pay special attention to the native African troops trained by France and Great Britain, into which they must carry on their propaganda more effectively, with such success, already that in Captain Wilson's opinion 75 per cent, at least of those employed by Britain would turn against her on the proclamation of the relief. But that the proclamation will not be heeded is due to the delay of the Semesta leader's is of delay. On the authority of a sergeant in one of the British Sudanese regiments Captain Wilson states that the general rising will not take place till France or England is busy with some other war. Viccanwhite, preparations are streamly going forward. The present head of the movement, the third in succession from its founder, is reported to be at present in Tims Khudhdera organizing his followers. No big demonstration has yet been attempted, but the Seminosa, according to Captain Wilson, "has undoubtedly been at the back of every disturbance in French territory," and also interested in the aid British campaign of the Somalland Mullah. It may be taken for granted that, it has its finger in the present Moorish agitation. Members of the Seminosa are sent in considerable numbers to study in Europe and bring back the art of the foot. It is no blind organization of savages, but one that understands the advantages of civilization. Though it is essentially a Museum movement, Captain Wilson holds that when it decides to strike its blow an uprising of such magnitude will set house against the white master "very black skin in Africa" "so great are the murdest and discontent among all the native races" with the result of a universal cataclysm. Such are the views and prognostica- tions of the writer who writes in the Nineteenth Century. TILLMAN IN ANOTHER ROW. NEWTON TO CAL., Sept. 21 Senator Ben Tillman started up a hernia test here, last night when he attempted to speak on the race question. The lecture was under the auspices of the N M C A, and when the subject of the Senator's address became known, the officers of organization requested him to change it to "The Trend of American Politics." Mr. Tillman retorted that he would not be gagged by a parcel of mules, and offered to return the check given him for the lecture. This was refused, and the difference was patched up until the Senator and lenely interjected the race problem in his address. There was such a strong disapproval that he finally left the hall and delivered the rest of His address on the street. 500 MEN CHASE MAN. SWANNAT, Ga., Sept 22. With 500 men, accompanied by bloodhounds in close pursuit, a Negro is fleeing to escape lynching for an attack on Mrs. Henry Overstreet, the young wife of a prominent citizen of Chatham County. She was attacked this morning soon after her husband had left for church. Mrs. Overstreet told the Negro she would call her husband. "Mrs. Overstreet, you cannot fool me. I know your husband has gone to chumba; baby in her arms was badly injured. Mr. Overstreet informed neighbors, and 500 men are trailing the man, with the avowed intention of lynching him. NEW CONDITIONS IN THE SOUTH LITTLE ROCK. Ark, September 12th. While enronto some Western engagements a few days ago, I stopped in Memphis, long enough to have a chat with my friend, Hon. J. T. Settle, and as is usual in nine cases out of ten, the conversation turned to the growing tendency of the South to belittle and crush out the Afro-Americans and the ever-increasing evidence of racial prejudice as seen on every side. Mr. Settle, while acknowledging all of these things, is by no means a pessimist, and in keeping with hisaint and successor record in public life, he expresses an ever-abiding faith in the Afro-American people, to free themselves from the meshes into which they seem to have so irretrievably fallen. His conversation took such high ground that I secured his permission to use it as an interview, and with an improvised notebook and my stenographers' penil, I herewith give to TZAz just what he said to me in discussing certain phases of the question as it confronts our people in the South. It is, of course, well known that Mr. Settle's opinions carry weight, since they are the fruit of many years' service among the people of both races in the South. He stands at the front among our lawyers in the country, and is an admitted practitioner before the Supreme Court of the United States. Mr. Settle has served in various capacities in his work South, having served in the Mississippi腔腔, Assistant District Attorney at Memphis, and with Mr. Napier at Nashville, is serving over the State Central Republican Committee. In the interview herewith appended, I have eliminated all questions that I asked him, so that his statements follow closely one on the other. Among other things, he said: More than forty years have passed since the civil war closed, and the new conditions growing org of it were inaugurated. A large portion of our country desolated by its ravages has been rehabilitated, its natural resources developed and a multitude of manufactories and commercial industries established, which have rendered it more prosperous than ever before. The days of construction and the conditions growing in the city they never had been, and the descent of the same people who ruled the South in antiquity days, absolutely control the department of her government today. The Nervio, though emancipated and enfranchised by the Federal constitution, exercises no political influence upon the control of the destiny of any of the Southern States. He is as impotent politically in these States as though the Taft administration had not exist. The Federal constitution did not exist, however, because he outnumbered the white people to one, he in no way interferes with the whites exercising absolute control in all political and public matters; though furnishing at the same time the labor upon which the prosperity of these localities depends. As a race he is law-abiding, and unlike some of the foreign elements which come to our shores, he is found among those dissidentate heirs of colonial and militia, which often clog the wheels of industry, and strike at the permanency of our free institution. "In the face of all these facts, however, there can be no doubt that the prejudice against the Negro, both as a race and as an individual, is greater and more general than ever before since he was test plant upon this continent. Why this is so, and its ultimate effect upon the condition of the race, as well as our entire country, the future alone, is our entire country. Certainly no conditions for which the Negro himself is responsible have caused him has any one been able to find an adequate remedy which public opinion will adopt and not. William H. Neward said in his great speech at Albany many years ago, "This country cannot exist half slave and half free," and the war which followed with all its terrible results, confirmed the ever like truthfulness of his words. If this was true of physical slavery, is it not equally true of political slavery" and is it not equally true of public slavery was shaking off its disease of prejudice at present admitted? Race prejudice and race hatred cannot exist where public opinion is strong enough to, and does, note not equal and exact civil and political justice to all. More than thirty years ago we were told that if we accumulated property acquired education and set for ourselves the white man's high moral standard and lived up to it, we would deserved a commendation and encouragement of the white people in the South. We did this over the South we have thousands of and women of wealth, education and reminence, living up to the best and highest moral standard, and yet, strange as it may appear, the race prejudice is stronger against them than it was against their parents thirty years ago. It would seem, therefore, that the acquisition of education and property, and the chance of all moral and statutory laws having an effect or prevent this prejudice, cannot be other. "The wise men of both races have sought, and many think they have found a potence, to stay the growth and spread of this race prejudice, so harmful to both races and the entire country as well, but it goes on apace and is stronger to day than it was yesterday. Most of them seem to think it lies in what they are pleased to call the "solution of the race problem". A problem, which in my opinion, if it ever existed at all, is further from solution to day than ever before. "What might have been a solution in time when the first twenty were landed in Virginia would not have been a solution in time when the contest might have been a solution in 1787 when the contest against slavery began by the passage of the ordinance against its extension into the 'Northwest Territory' would not have been a solution when the Missouri Compromise was made in 1821, nor would any solution then reached with the conditions of 1861. "When the war ended the race numbered scarcely four millions, for the most part poor, ignorant, homeless and unused to freedom; any conditions and compromises might then have been accepted as a solution of the so-called race problem; but what might have been regarded as a solution then would scarcely be recognized as such to-day by a race numbering nearly ten millions, owning tens of thousands of homes, and hundreds of millions of dollars' worth of property. A race that has grown from a schoolless race to a race with hundreds of colleges, thousands of schools and millions of scholars, from a race without representation or place in professional, commercial and industrial world, to a race with representatives in all the learned professions, and in every branch of commerce and industry, who are successfully competing with every other element of Americanism, and winning victories substantial and material, at the bar of a hostile public opinion. "A great orator once said it took Rome three hundred years to die. In less time this race has grown from a few souls to many millions. Races, like individuals, have an origin, youth, maturity, old age, decay and death. Many races once powerful live to-day only in story and in song, and authentic history scarcely reveals the race which furnished the fire to light the torch of the Christian civilization, to to-day enmities and blesses the world. It requires no prophet to foretell what the Negro will be in the United States at the beginning of the modern century, or even at the middle of this. His only race that has successfully withstood the conditions of contact with the white races, conditions which have decimated or destroyed all other races in the western world. "The Negro has accepted the white man's slavery, absorbed his religion and his laws, and successfully competed with him in every department of life. The Negro is indigenous to all climates, accepts any and all of the Christian religions, prosperse where most oppressed, and increases and multiplies under conditions which have destroyed other countries. He has a race virility and tenacity but no other race in this country. Others may lose their identity, but all he becomes and remains his, and the division of his genius extends to every realm of thought. In the fifty years the race will number more than twenty-five millions, his wealth will be counted by the billions, he will own and operate cotton exchanges, and merchant exchanges, railroad and steamboat lines to handle the cotton and other products raised upon his own hands; and he will handle the money received for these products through banks, exchanges and clearing houses, and operated by the American Negro. In many localities he will hold the balance of power in financial and commercial affairs numerically to-day. What might the fore, be a solution of the race problem, and a stay of the growth of race prejudice to-day would scarcely be accepted as such by the race fifty years hence. To me it seems that the growth and spread of race predisence is but an incident in the epoch through which we are passing in the process of our race evolution. That it is an affliction visited upon us in the progress of our growth strong and vigorous manhood. This affliction, temporary, it will not last, it cannot last; nor will it stop or change the process of race evolution along the lines ordained in the all-wise Creator. God has planted the race in this continent and brought it into contact with a dominant race under condition unprecedented in the history of the world. That He has endowed it with the capacity to develop into greatness and power is demonstrated by its achievements during the last forty years. "The thoughtful student of race evolution can see this race in the next century numbering forty or fifty millions and stands aghast at what it may come in the succeeding centuries. I cannot believe that this new growth of race perishes is due to the assumed superiority of the one race and the inferiority of the other. It rather grows out of the foot of the greatness and power to which that race is destined to grow in its relentless evolution under the provisor of God. The Tillmans and the John Pope Graves and their school of them seem to believe and realize that, urged by fear to madness have attempted to manipulate a crusade of prejudice and hatred by magnifying the vices and crimes of the lowest elements of the race, calling them inherent characteristics of the curse race, while they are forever sleeper upon the virtues possessed by the highest types of the race. They never tell their audiences that the Negro never committed a crime or practiced a vice, which has not been committed and practiced by a white man, nor do they ever tell the no-noble and most self-sacrifice net ever performed by a white man has been permitted by a Negro also. "These apostles of race battled and race prejudice are having their days they have insulated public opinion with an unjust, unholy and unpatriotic prejudice against us, but they cannot stop or materially affect our progress and development. They might as well attempt to control the tides of the ocean as to attempt to thwart the plunge of God. "This increasing prejudice, though in many cases, is at present humiliating, gall, and closes the door of hope against us, will run its course and become a thing of the past, leaving in blackened train untainted aspirations, broken lives and blasted hopes; but in its stead will come a higher, purer, more patriotic public opinion, which will recognize and sustain our man and woman, unfetter the white man's mind, and remove the meters and bombies placed by hostile hands around our hopes and aspirations. The day will come when race will have as fair a field for the employment of every faculty, mind and body as any other element of our composite nationality, and when every opportunity has been improved, and we have reached the goal set for us. Him who planted us on this continent, and guided us by His light and no page in our country's history will be brightened more morigious than that records the evolution and growth to greatness of the American Negro." Correction. We regret that an error occurred in the advertisement of the "Akamun, Nuskway, and Dopom Synchraty" published in our issue of September 1975. In making a change in the advertisements, the second line of the last paragraph was transposed, so that the latter half was placed before the first half. The paragraph should have read as follows: "Subscriptions are now ten cents per share. On and after October 1, they will be advanced to twenty five cents a share. Subscriptions can be had at the office of the president, A. C. Cowan." "The editor of The Ack has made a long and persistent opposition to the term 'Negro,' as used to describe or designate a race of people from Africa, because it is used all over the globe to describe the physical character of the African people—black color, kinky hair, broad face, and the like—and so used is treated as a common noun, as it should be; and while we shall use the term Afro-American as more appropriate and dignified, we shall hereafter allow correspondents to use the term 'Negro' as they will, and in news matter we shall allow the same usage, which is so general. "In accepting the terms 'Negro' and 'Negress' to designate the African or Afro-American people, we are sure that our men and women make a big mistake. What are we to do, however, when all of our popular speakers and writers—Dr. Washington, Prof. Du Bois, Mrs. Mary Church Terrell, Prof. Kelly Milier, Mrs. Fannie Barrier Williams, Mrs. J. Silene Yates, Mrs. Booker T. Washington, Bishop Turner, Bishop Grant, Bishop Walters—most of strong men and women persist in using the inappropriate terms, what are we to do? We are hunging to Ulrichi or wooly-hairing to Ulrichi or wooly-hairing to mankind; a black man, especially of African blood, and particularly belonging to the stock of Senegambia, Upper Guinea and the Soudan, and when 'Negress' is defined as a female of the 'Negro race,' a black wench—when these definitions are used by publicists all over to describe a sort and not a race of people, is it not a degradation on our part to accept it? And we cannot see for the life of us the wisdom of so designating such mixed-blooded people as Dr. Washington, Dr. Du Bois, Mrs. Errell and a million or two more of the mixed-blooded sort. The wise man of the race is instituted the Bethel and Zion Methodist Episcopal churches, made no such mistake, they called them African Methodist Episcopal churches, and they built on flint-ethnic terminology which will abide as long as Africa occupies a place on the map of the world. "But, as we have said, we are not stronger than all of the men and women of the race and the publicists of the world, who persist in using the terms Negro and Negress to designate a sort of people rather than a race of people; so when they want to use it in Titre, we are going to allow it, but we want it distinctly marked that neither the writer nor any of his Negro or Negress, the whole of that tribe, as it has evolved out of the nimbs of the past, are Afro-Americans from the heel up and proper nouns of the pugnacious, aggressive sort. "And here is to Mr. Negro and Mrs. Negress, and may they specially become proper nouns which the world must respect rather than common nouns, which world treats with scorn and contempt. The above from Titre New York Age should be read and digested, and all the Afro-American people, race, variety should begin using the only proper, correct and dignified racial term Afro-American. The Conant has adopted the term for use in its columns. REWARDING COLORED TROOPS. (From the Cleveland Plain Dealer.) General Oliver, the Vetting Secretar of War, has certainly acted wisely in refusing to heed the protests of the citizens of Watertown and Oswego, N. who have objected to the propo transfer of the Twenty-fourth Infant a colored regiment, to forts in the city of those cities. The Twenty-fourth has done long and efficient service in the Philippines, and the transits in a sense a reward. With the white regiments this policy of shifting about has always been maintained. Soldiers who have swetted on the Western Philippines or suffered punishment in the Philippines have invariably been rewarded in the mining regiments by being given a period of time at station where their work will be largely nominal. There is certainly no justice in refusing the same privilege to the colored regiments. Their severe critics do not deny that the colored men are excellent soldiers; that they do their work as well as the men of the white regiments, and that they are in justice entitled to all rewards of merit. General Oliver has stated that in some respects the colored troops are superior to the white. There are fewer desertions from the Negro regiments, and fewer serious infractions of discipline. There seems to be little sense in the protest of the people of Watertown and Oswego. Even if the soldiers are stationed in their vicinity they will be under military discipline. Without the spirit of open antagonism and violent prejudice that was manifested at Brownville, there is absolutely no danger of a clash between troops and townpeople. Not the attitude of the people of these New York cities is not very different from that of the Southerners who complain so bitterly of the presence of Negro soldiers. There is not the slightest indication for their position. If the coloration for their position is really dangerous to the peace of a community they should be disbanded, but there is no reason to believe that such is the case. The War Department officials and the officers of the army are positive on this point. They have nothing but praise for the colored troops. Gen.

NATIONAL BAPTIST CONVENTION Twenty-seventh Annual Session Largest and Most Successful Gathering. WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept. 17.—The National Baptist Convention closed its twenty-seventh annual session here yesterday afternoon, having been in almost continuous service for six days. It was one of the largest and most successful meetings of the organization yet held, the attendance having been exceeded only upon two other occasions—at Philadelphia and Chicago. Not less than 7,000 delegates and visitors were attracted to the nation's capital by this wonderful body, representing a constituency of two and a half million Baptists, and hailing from nearly every State in the Union, with a sprinkling from Africa and the islands of the sea. The sessions of the National Baptist Convention were held in the Metropolitan Baptist church, of which Rev. M. W. D. Norman is pastor, and which seats about 2,500 persons. Dr. E. C. Morris, of Helana, Ark. one of the ablest, clearest-headed and best informed men in the denomination, presided. On Friday; under a suspension of the rules, Dr. Morris was reelected president for the fourteenth time. Prof. R. B. Hudson, principal of the high school at Selma. Ala., was elected secretary. The addresses of welcome were delivered by Commissioner H. F. B. Macfarland, on behalf of the District of Columbia; Rev. M. W. D. Norman, for the Metropolitan Baptist church; Rev. G. W. Lee, for the Ministers' Union of the District of Columbia; Rev. S. L. Corrothers, for the Methodists, and Lawyer Thomas L. Jones, on behalf of the Young. People's Union of the church. Rev. W. H. Moses, of Staunton, Va., responded on behalf of the convention. The address of President Morris on Wednesday was a clean-cut expression of the denomination on the problems, ecclesiastical and state, which confronted it and demanded solution. President J. H. Frank, of Louisville, Ky., of the Foreign Mission Board, introduced Dr. L. G. Jordan, corresponding secretary, who gave a highly interesting account of the work of the demination in the foreign field, particularly in West, Central and South Africa, West Indies, Haiti, South America and Russia. Receipts for the year amounted to $18,727.66; expenditures, $17,542.65, leaving a balance on hand of $1,185.01. Dr. Jordan said a school had been erected at Cape Town and a church would soon follow, and other efforts on the same line would be made this year in Quentown, South Africa. Several missionaries were present from the fields they represented and addressed the convention. The missionary work was given a magnificent hearing at Convention Hall on Sunday afternoon, with an audience of 5,000. Fine music was furnished by Rev. N. H. Pins of Indianaolis, Ind., and Prof. H. B. Britt, Kentucky's sweet singer. President Morris appointed the following officers of the convention, all of whom performed their tasks with fidelity and zeal: Assistant secretaries, Revs. T. O. Fuller, Memphis, Tenn.; J. H. A. Cyrus, Port Royal, Va.; C. T. Stamps, Kosciusko, Miss.; E. H. McDonald, Providence, R. I.; postoffice messenger, J. Thomas Turner, Memphis, Tenn. The committees were appointed as follows: Enrollment, Revs. W. F. Graham, Virginia; L. L. Campbell, Texas; R. M. Caver, Arkansas; J. T. Brown, Texas; Finance, Rev. C. B. Brown, Arkansas; G. B. Howard, Virginia; J. H. Miller, Alabama; F. L. Lights, Texas; J. H. Mays, Georgia; E. T. Gardner, Arkansas. Great enthusiasm greeted the reading of the report of Dr R H Boyd, secretary of the Publication Board and manager of the publishing house at Nashville, Tenn. which gives employment to 400 of the educated men and women of the church. The publications reach 500,000 or more Baptists. White people had been employed at first, but Negroes were gradually instructed in the fine points of the mechanical trades and now there isn't a single white face about the place. The receipts for the year were given at $60,152.14; expenditures. $44,576.96. The receipts for the Home Mission Board were $42,576.96. Statistician S. N. Nass reported an increase of 134.114 in the membership of the church during the year, making a total of 2,235.545. In the church educational works he reported 643 instructors and 12261 students. A notable feature of Friday's session was the stirring address of Hon W. T. Vernon, Registrar of the Treasury, who had been taking an active interest all week in the visitors to the National convention, entertaining many of his acquaintances from Kansas at his home and receiving hundreds who called at his office to pay their respects. Dr Vernon said it gave him great pleasure to lay aside the duties of his office to visit this most representative body of men who are giving their lives to the cause of education and the Chrismatization of our race throughout the world. Said he: "I have been impressed with the solidity of your leaders, the conservatism of your presiding officer, and the personnel of the active forces of this great body—the serious-minded men of this gathering who feel the weight of the problems before us—who see the duties which he nearest us and are working with heart and soul toward the amelioration of the untoward conditions now the portion of our race. "I am convinced that by the adoption of right methods we are to find a better day for the American Negro. All the elements of our national life are moving toward an improved condition. It is inconceivable that in this era of progress, right should not triumph, and justice should not be finally done to all the people. The American Republic, the home of free government throughout the world, has a mission so lofty that its "carrying out necessarily involves that bitterness which exalteth a nation," when men understand that their duties study the granting of rights to their low men and the Golden Rule in affairs of state, church and home is the only rule which can be subjected to the test of divine scrutiny, then shall we see an era of greatness, in harmony with the divine purpose. Governments are strongest which live in the hearts of their subjects. Patriotism is the outgrowth of an intelligent appreciation of the goodness and justice of human government. "To educate the Negro to a full appreciation of his rights and duties, to insist upon a performance of his duties and to insure him his rights will lead to the nearest possible perfection in national effort, and rapidly bring us forward to a realization of the hopes of the most sanguine dreamer who ever wrought for the liberation of human kind. "I am in sympathy with you, and have a feeling stronger than denominational lines. We may not all see alike on non-essentials, but on those essential things which make for a better dayy for the Negro, all leaders must agree. Worth shipping the same God, paying homage to the same Christ alike and preaching His gospel, working for and with a struggling race, we can but be united and must work together. "As one holding an official position, I desire you to tell me with you at all times, and consider me as everybody's Register and with all men who desire to uplift the race, regardless of denomination or creed. Let us be hopeful and the years which will untold will see the accomplishment of our aims and the fruition of the fondest hopes of ten million struggling people." A resolution was presented and unanimously adopted to the effect that as the United States Government is making a census of religious bodies and has shown a particular interest in the gathering of the census of Negro Baptists, thereby recognizing their worth as a mighty moral and religious force, and whereas the Bureau has appointed Rev. W. Bishop Johnson, D. D., LL. D., to secure the census from the churches and Sunday schools of the Baptist faith, it is resolved that the convention commend the wisdom of the Director of the Census in appointing Dr. Johnson, who is regarded as one of the best qualified men in the denomination, both by education and a thorough knowledge of the pointy of Baptists, and that he be given the nearly cooperation of the entire church in the important work he is doing. To give force to the resolution, a committee was ordered to wait upon the Director of the Census and present the sentiments of the National Convention in person. In the interim just prior to the speaking hour, Dr. Washington was most enjoyably entertained at dinner at the home of Prot. Roscoe Cooking Bruce, superintendent of Washington's public schools. Among those present sharing with Dr. Washington the hospitality of Prot. and Mrs. Bruce were Judge K. H. Terrell, Mc. (L. K. Turner, of the Washington Board of Education; Mr. C. Tyson, Mr. Kalph W. Tyser, Auditor of Navy Department; Mr. Julius K. Cox, traveling secretary to Dr. Washington, Mr. Ernest Davidson Washington, younger son of the Doctor; Mr. W. Sidney Pitman, the architect; Mr. Whitwood McKunlay and Mr. R. W. Thompson. Dr. Washington, accompanied by his son and secretary, left for Tuskegee immediately after the night meeting. After a strenuous day Sunday, during which the ministers bled the various city pulpits, addressed schools and clubs, Y. M. C. A. and the use, the closing scenes came on Monday. The principal feature of the day was the adoption of the address on "The State of the Country." A struggle, thirteen in its intensity, was made by the hot-headed ones to denounce President Roosevelt for his action in the Brownsville matter, and many fiery speeches were made to influence that end; but cooler counsel prevented, and the address was finally adopted, with all political acrimony eliminated, stronger because of its Christian moderation, in the face of what even conservatives admitted was an exasperating circumstance. So bitterly was President Morris opposed to allowing a Baptist National Convention to be turned into a campaign primary that it is rumored that he threatened to resign if the objectifiable clause was permitted to remain in the document, and he carried his point, to the glory of the convention and the salvation of its reputation for sinny and ability to adhere to its traditional moorings. Monday afternoon the great body adjourned one of its most successful seasons, to meet next September in New York. A party of 1000 delegates left that evening for Jamestown to view the beauties of the famous expotion beside the castic waters of Hampton Roads. R.W.Jameson GRAND LODGE AT HARTFORD. Annual Session of Masons' Held at Hartford—Election of Officers Hartford, September 17th. The annual session of the Grand Lodge of Confection met in New London, the guest of Jephtha Lodge No. 11, on the 19th and 14th instant. Grand Master Iro, Walter B. Gladding presiding. The session was large and well attended. The usual formula of business was transacted and the election which marks the close resulted as follows: Brother Walter B. Gladding, G. M.; Brother James B. McKnight, D. M.; Brother Frederick D. Meyers, G. S.; Brother Frederick C. Cross, G. secretary; Brother John W. Ross, G. presurer. The distinguished visitor present was Brother Tenn, deputy grand master of Prime Hall Grand Lodge of Massachusetts, who delivered a lecture on the history of the order in America. He also invited the grand lodge to visit Prime Hall Grand Lodge who would celebrate the 100th anniversary of colored masonry in America next fall in Boston. The invitation was unanimously accepted and a celebration was planned upon the subordinate lodges. On the day evening a grand reception was tendered the members of the grand lodge. A feature of the evening was an exhibition drill by St. Paul's commandery of New Haven which was finely executed. Sunday was an ideal day as far as the weather was concerned. St. Monica's Episcopal Mission was crowded a large congregation assembling to hear Rev Prof. Wm. W. Tunnel, of Washington, who was the speaker. His theme was "Work, a purpose, a fact in Christian life." Mrs Susan L. Hoblen, of Windsor was the solist, who rendered her work very skillfully. In the evening through the kind invitation of Rev. Dr. McCollum he spoke to his people in Zion A. M. E. church taking his text from Revolution "Held I stand at the door and knock." His argument was that God is always seeking man who rebels against His love. The week the conference of church workers meets in Ashbury-Park, N. J., under the auspices of St. Augustine's church, Rev. Jensen, rector, an account of which will appear in the next letter. Hishop Ferguson Arrives. Bishop S. D. Ferguson of the Protestant Episcopal church of Liberia, was a cabin passenger, on the Lucania, which arrived last Saturday. He was reported as saying that the people of the Black Republic were presumptuous and the country fertile and that he would advise American Negroes to go there.

Fortune, Redwoods and wife, Baltimore; E. Fortune, Redwoods and Mrs. Arnold, Seattle, Wash.; D. Alston, Arnold Park "Bermuda has lost the smartest colored man in the country," was the comment of the leading white physician of the island when it was announced Wednesday last that the Honorable John Henry Thomas Jackson was dead. For many years he had been an honored member of the Parliament of the Colony of Bermuda and was associated with many acts which led to the betrayment of his island home. His whole career abounded in sacrifices for others, and, while his political achievements were the highest character they cost him no small part of his well-accumulated fortune derived from his personal business. He was for many years the largest shipper of Bermuda produce, and conducted a large wholesale and retail merchandise business. John Henry Thomas Jackson was born in Devonshire, Bermuda, Sept. 17, 1846, and died Sept. 18, 1907, just one day after he had passed the age of six-one years. His parents were John Henry Jackson and Anna May Jackson both of splendid Bermuda extraction. His mother died thirty-five years ago and his father, though twice married since, passed away the river nine years ago. Mr. Jackson, his mother, reared and educated in the island, a prided student of the now aged Professor John Henry Thomas for whom he was named. Mr. Jackson early entered business as a merchant and shipper, doing a large business with America and also in Barbados, where he met Miss Henrietta Hunt and won her hand. They were married at Brigidetown, Barbados, October 17, 1879 and devoted their lives to the business for thirty years, during which time there were born to them four sons, viz: John Henry Cassidy Jackson, William Hunt Jackson, Lionel Ormond Jackson, Jabez Walter Jackson, and two daughters, Mrs. Sydney Woodward, of Jacksonville, Fla., and Miss Annice Jackson, organist of St Paul's A. M. E. Church, Hamilton, Bermuda. All of his children were plenially educated and are an important part of the family name. One is in control of his father's former store, another runs another grocery business of his own, another is a general collecting agent, house reenter, property controller, etc. The deceased has two younger brothers, Albert Walter Jackson, of Australia, and E. C. Jackson, barrister-at-law in Bermuda. He has two sisters, Mrs. Thomas Hasden, of Tucker's Town, Bermuda, and Mrs. C. W. S. Smith, wife of a wealthy Bermuda physician, and Dr. W. A. medical graduates of Howard University, Washington, D. C. U. S. A. On the death of the late William H T. Joch, in 1951, John H T. Jochson was elected to complete the unexpired term of four years as a member of Parliament, representing Pembroke Parish, which is popped by Bermuda aristocracy. By re-election Mr. Jackson held this honor for a period of seventeen years, when his health failed and he was retired in 1963. In broken health and mental impatience he limited his time for the river for four years, nursed most tenderly by his loved ones at home, and visited by his solicitors numberless friends and old associates. Hon J. H. T. Jackson was a constant visitor to the United States where he made the appearance of most African American celebrities, especially of "the old guard" and was entertained in the theater. Thomas Fortune of Red Bank, N.J. While in the Bermuda Parliament, Mr. Jackson in all matters represented the interests of his own colored people in every measure which engrossed the consideration of Bermuda's statement. Especially was he heard in the enactment of (1) Bermuda Educational Bill (2) the holding of pulp magazines, (3) the introduction of that colored men "would have a show" (4) He opposed Woman's suffrage because the bill was framed up the interests of white women as against colored women, and he was interested in many other important measures to his race. But he proved a martyr for his people, and his liberal and unstinted stance cost Mr. Jackson not only his health, but his prosperity and even his very life. Mr. Jackson encouraged West Indian immigration to Bermuda, labored increasingly for good schools, sought the erection of the collegiate Institute with the Devonshire College Fund, etc., He was a member of Hammel Lodge No. 224, Free and Accepted Masons for twenty years or more, under the Royal Irish Dispensation. All his life, together with his wife, a cultured Barbados lady, who has done so much to shape his career for good. Hon J. H. Jackson, with all his children, has been a member of the church, indeed one of its pioneer and charter members. He was elected several times the Bermuda trustee of Walthorpe University and was a point of inspiration to all the accomplishments of African Methodism here. Hisson, W. H. Jackson, now superintendent of the Sunday school and secretary of the trustee board. Mrs J. H. T. Jackson, widow, is class leader, Miss Hunt, a sister, is a class leader. Both are officers of the Missionary and of the Ladies' Aid societies. Miss Annice Jackson, his prided daughter, is a teacher of the Sunday school organist of the church and a member of several other auxiliaries; and nearly all branches of Mr. Jackson's family groups either hold pews in my church or in my home. But our hero is now translated! The giant in physique, in intellect, in heart throbs for his race, and in public achievements, has been called hence "Enter into the joy of thy rest," was beard and hecked and heen opened her golden gates to receive his spirit. There are none too poor to do him reverence, for it is a delight to dwell upon his sterling virtues. Honorable John Henry Thomas Jackson, rest, forever, rest Fanlighted Dice The funeral of Mgr Matilda Brinna, wife of captain Thomas Brinna, was subminned from her late residence, 76 River street, last Saturday afternoon.

NEW YORK 0612-1234 1,100,000 Hats Handled Without a Mistake—Sized Up According to Class—Merchant Made to Move—A Record Deposit. PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 23.—One of the most remarkable financial transactions recorded in years in this or probably any other city took place on Thursday last. Margaret Sangster, an elderly Afro-American woman, poorly dressed, entered one of the large banks in the financial district and insisted union seeing the president himself. No one else would do, and the attendant was eventually obliged to conduct her to that official's private office. Arrived there, Mrs. Sangster, with much simplicity of manner, asked whether the financial disturbance was past, and was smilingly assured that it was. Thereupon, to the amazement of the president, she drew from the folds of her dress a bankbook and forty bills, each of the denomination of $1,000, and asked that they be placed to the credit of her master's account. The book was in the name of one of the oldest and wealthiest customers of the bank, a retired and superannuated merchant, who nowadays rarely leaves his house, but who had every confidence in his old domestic. Three hundred hats each day, 110,000 hats each year, 1,100,000 hats in thirty years. These figures tell the story of the average number of hats checked in the Union League Club (the millionaire club) each day, each year and for thirty years. When it is added that one man has handled this stupendous volume of brain protectors without dependence on checks; and has never been charged with making a mistake in returning the right hat to the right man—the figures become more significant. Charles H. Gibson, an Afro-American, is the man who has this wonderful faculty for knowing hats and heads. To many of the Union League members Charlie's right name is unknown. He has hung hats so long that the members who joined since the war have come to call him "Deacon," and by this sobriquet he is known alone. September 13, 1877, just thirty-three years ago, "Deacon" came from Queen Anne's County, Maryland, and went in the cloak room of the Union League as custodian of hats, umbrellas, topcoats and piershoes. He was proud of his job determined to make the best of it. "I hadn't much more than got started," said the "Deacon," in telling his story, "when along came General Grant from his trip around the world. "That was a great night at the Union League, and you bet I was busy. But I sized up the General's hat—he wore a wide-brimmed silk one—and I didn't miscalculate a single one of the company that night. I felt so proud of myself after that that I just set out to make a system. I said to myself, "I'll put a big man's hat off to itself, and I'll grade 'em down accordingly." In those days we didn't have any cheeks, so when I learned my men, I put 'em along the room according to their bigness and I never made a mistake. One time a gentleman said to me, "Deacon, how do you know this is my hat?" All I could answer him was; "I don't know if it is your hat. All I know is you give it to me, sir." this is the Deacon's hat knowing philosophy. After thirty years of hat receiving, hat-returning and no mistakes, his only explanation to your correspondent was; "I sizes them up according to class, sir." In his day at the Union League the Deacon has out away the "liks" of the greatest men of the land, including every President since Grant, except Cleveland. "Tom Reed had the biggest head," he said. President Arthur wore the first big panama he had ever seen. United States Senator Beveridge is one of the "small-headed" men in the Deacon's category. "Unele Joe" Cannon, he remembers, as bringing a slouch hat, oasis in a desert of silk hats. "How about Roosevelt's bonnet?" he was asked. The old man smiled quizzically. "As the saying is," he replied, "he's a new beginner." Angered because an Afro-American had moved into the neighborhood and had opened a store at 61st and Lombard street, a crowd of 5,000 persons gathered in front of his store, after he had opened for business, and demanded that he move, as they did not want any Afro-Americans in that vicinity. Frightened by the threats of the crowd, he took back the rent which he had paid the owner of the premises. Isaac Clackms, and, packing his stock in vans, for which a collection was taken for him to pay for them, he moved away, followed by the cheers of the crowd. It was a great surprise to everybody to know that Thomas R. Harbridge had been appointed a regular detective at a salary of $1,700 a year by Director Clay. It is said this is a direct slap at Mayor Reyburn, who had promised the first vacancy to Acting Detective Williams, an Afro-American, of his own ward. Williams is one of the many intelligent Afro-Americans of the city, and a friend for years of the Mayor, and has helped him to fight several political battles. He has long been regarded as a kind of protege of the Mayor, and during the hot political fight of 1905 he was discharged from the police force for the active part he took in aiding the friends of the Mayor. When Mr. Reyburn was elected Mayor one of his first acts was to reinstate Williams and send him to City Hall as an acting detective. He assured Williams and his many friends that he would be appointed to the first vacancy in the detective force, and since then, the 15th warder has been carefully groomed for the position given Thursday to Harbridge without even so much as extending the usual courtesy to the Mayor of consulting his wish in the matter. Harbridge is a friend of Senator James P. McNichol. J. H. GRAY. FRATERNAL NEWS OF THE ELKS Notes of Lodges and Members from Many Sections of the Country. That the literature of our fraternity has not kept pace with the numerical, material, earnestness and progressive advancement of the order, is a proposition the truth of which is generally conceded, especially when taking into consideration the deans of the English language and of grammatical fame. Of course, the production is not a bad showing. We are not ashamed of it, but rather proud, for we do not believe that any other Afro-American order has developed as many active coworkers in such a short time. And yet the risks of misunderstanding are, after all, not a criterion for silence; but on the contrary an illustration of the need for more explicit suggestions from many sides which—if sincerely made and if impartially executed—may yield us a simpler and a more fraternal duty. One may well contract adequately, however, with great reserve and without intentional dogmatism along these lines of activity. There are some of us who are so narrowminded and beguiled as to make little of the showing being made. It is an unfortunate fact, and we deeply regret to acknowledge the hypothetical methods involved by intelligent and responsible leaders. Captain James A. Thomas, 220 Chelsea avenue, Long Branch, N. J., returned home August 30 after a most pleasant visit of several days attending the eighth annual convention of the parent order of the I. B. P. O. E. W. held at Reading, Pa. Captain Thomas is Exalted Ruler of Magnolia Lodge, No. 120, and also the dashing young captain of Seaside Company, No. 3. U. R. K. of P., who are preparing for the annual drill to be held in Ashbury Park, October 17th, at which time he expects to make a good showing. The membership of Magnolia Lodge consists of forty-three young and intelligent men. Four others are to be initiated at their next meeting. We greatly appreciate the Elks news of Mr. George F. King in THE AGE of recent date, but we do feel that the first paragraph of his able article, relative to the split of the order last year, is rather untimely and at variance with the facts in the controversy. We greatly desire reconciliation at as early a date at practicable, and we will reciprocate any suggestions along those lines for publication with our fraternal news of the Elks. The Grand Temple of Daughters of thel. B. P. O. Elks of the World, held its fifth annual sessions at Chicago, III. August 27, 28, 29, 30. This session was one of the most interesting and best ever recorded in the history of the organization. Harmony and love were the governing features of their meetings, and the good sisters pride themselves in terming it the "harmonious sessions." Thursday morning the grand officers were elected as follows: Mrs. Mamie T. Hodges, Grand Daughter Ruler, Hampton, Va.; Miss (Dr.) M. L. McDonald Grand Vice Daughter Ruler, Washington, D.C.; Miss Florence Hoffer, Grand Assistant Daughter Ruler Washington, Pa.; Mrs. Hattie Anderson, Grand Chaplain, Chicago, Ill.; Mrs. Emma V. Kelley, Grand Secretary, Norfolk, Va.; Mrs. Frances Young, Grand Treasurer, Hampton, Va.; Mrs. N. E. Williams, Grand Escort, Norfolk, Va.; Mrs. Eliza E. Lasane, Grand Doorkeeper, Birmingham, Ala.; Mrs. Susie E. Swan, Grand Gatekeeper, Chicago, Ill.; Mrs. Elizabeth Johnson and Miss S. E. Roberson, of Norfolk, Va., and Mrs. Mattie Combs, Cincinnati, Ohio, Grand Thustees. Mrs. Kelley and Mrs. Hodgers feel assured that all who attended the Grand Temple have been greatly benefited. They enjoyed their stay in the Lake City very pleasantly, indeed, and sweet memories of their visit still linger. The sisters of Warden Temple, No. 16, did not leave one stone unturned towards making it congenial and pleasant for the visiting sisters, and the sisters of subordinate temples join Mrs. Kelley in highly complimenting them for their unbounded hospitality shown the Grand Temple of Daughters while in executive sessions at Chicago under the watchful care of Warden Temple. A correction. Brother Deputy George Booker, Wheeling, W. Va., instituted the following lodges previous to the Grand Lodge Convention: Mountain State Lodge, No. 117, Clarksburg, W. Va., ally assisted by Brother Frank Cumberland and eight members of Pan Handle Lodge, No. 74; Pilgrim Lodge, No. 125, North Fork, W. Va. He also made forty new members and obligated seventeen members of the Keystone Lodge (a Howard lodge). On Sept. 5 he instituted and installed Eureka Lodge, No. 131, Huntington, W. Va. Its prospects are very bright, the membership consisting of intelligent and energetic young men. West Virginia last year had only one lodge, with seventy members, and now they have four progressive lodges, with a membership of over 250 men. The opposition from other orders is considerable and the deputy finds it extremely difficult to arouse the people's interest, but he is working diligently to enlist their co-operation, and the class of men who have identified themselves with the lodges have created a very favorable and healthy opinion of the Elks all over the state, especially at Huntington. They selected thirty of the best citizens and instituted the lodge. They refused to accept any more at the time of institution, and now are about to apply for a dispensation to open a club for the purpose of securing a number of progressive business men who have expressed a desire to become affiliated with Eureka Lodge. The membership undoubtedly will be increased to one hundred of the best citizens. Brother I. L. Johnson, Exalted Ruler; Brother D. W. Perdue, secretary, and T. I. Taver; treasurer. The membership of Westchester Lodge, No. 116, Tarrytown, N. Y., feel highly gratified over the results of their first annual reception on Labor Day, at Music Hall. It proved to be the crowning social event of the season. The Elks' grand march was a feature of the occasion. Excellent music was furnished by John W. Hoffmans' orchestra. Among the prominent out-of-town Antlers were Brothers Thomas B. James, Jr. of Manhattan Lodge, No. 45, and Charles H. Kingsland, of Pride of Newark Lodge, No. 93. The Elks of Westchester Lodge will partake of some "fruit antelopes" and carry the prospenter THE NEW YORK AGE: THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 26, 1907 pective Antlers through the wilderness of Elkdom at their next meeting. At the recent meeting of Elite Lodge, No. 119, Buffalo, N. Y., Brother James A.' Ross, re-elected Exalted Ruler, for one year, and all other officers re-elected for the same period. Elite Lodge is in excellent condition, and proposes to begin the fight for holding the tenth annual session of the I. B. P. O. E. W. in Buffalo. Elite Lodge voted to contribute $1 per member for the Elks' Home, payable on demand each quarter. Brother Ross was given a unanimous vote of appreciation for the magnificent and exhortative report of the proceedings of the Grand Lodge Sessions. Brother George Marshall, a member of Brooklyn Lodge, No. 32, died August 24, at Willisville, Va. This information reached us only a few days ago, and necessary steps will be taken to forward Mrs. Henderson, his mother, her endowment after receiving all the facts in the case. Brother W. P. Moore, senior delegate of 32, rendered his report giving the proceedings of the convention at Chicago, the report consisting of 10,000 words. His actions sustained and approved by a unanimous vote, and a vote of appreciation. The report will be placed into the archives of the lodge for future reference. Brother E. Elmore Brock, junior delegate of 32, will render his report October 7. Monday evening, the 30th, Brooklyn Lodge will hold a social session for its membership, and the balance of the by-laws and constitution will be read for approval. September 23, 1907. W. PRESTON MOORE. ST. PHILIP'S GUILD PICNIC Lester A. Walton, as a Descriptive Writer, Tells of the Function You may talk about feasting your cyes on beauty and fashion at the opening performance of the Metropolitan Opera or dwell at length on some dissertation on "Pretty Sights \ I Have Seen," but when I think of the picture formed several evenings ago by the "coming together" of the Afro-Americans of Greater New, York at the Manhattan Casino. I am of the opinion that I am qualified and competent to enter wordy war, and contend that the gathering at the annual picnic of St. Philip's Guild presented a sight to be classed in the superlative degree when such adjectives as "pretty" and "picturesque" are brought to the fore. All races have their defined instincts; their likes and dislikes. The Afro-American is well known for his love of music and the natural ease in which he can use his feet on the ballroom floor. Yet, it is very seldom that the public in general gets any information regarding a ball or picnic given by Afro-Americans, unless it happens to be an event conducted by the rougher element wherein a general "rough house" is always the inevitable, and the finale is a shooting or cutting affray in which one or more find their way to the hospital. The next day you can rest assured mention will be made in the daily papers of came, usually in bold type in a prominent column. While watching the concourse of dancers the other evening, the thought suggested itself, why don't the daily papers send some of their writers to such events as St. Philip's Guild picnic? Why not produce a pen-picture in the miniature of how the scene appeared to the writer or artist and give a detailed account of what transpired and the conduct of those present? Why not give some little attention to the doings of the refined and cultured Afro-American and pay less attention to airing the acts of the other class? There are always two sides to every question, as there is to the race question; but it is very seldom that but one side of the race question is given publicity and that is the side which you find some morning when you pick up your paper and read in large headlines—"Negro Lynched!" "Negro Arrested for Theft!" "Tillman Says Negro Is Menace to Country." It is no wonder that you hear complaints nowadays even in New York about the Afro-American being snubbed on the street cars. Not being intimately associated with the race as a whole, but with only a few, many of the whites are forming opinions by such reading matter in the daily papers that we are not yet fit associates. But to return to the St. Philip's Guid picnic. It would have been a source of wonder to a white writer, as he would have found in the neighborhood of two thousand persons, and Afro-Americans, too, assembled in one room where perfect decorum was kept for a number of hours while dancing was going on. Had a white writer attended the function he could have put the lie to the oft repeated assertion that Afro-Americans cannot congregate in large numbers and maintain order until the end. And remember the example given was not a private affair, but a public one, which goes to prove that the Afro-American discriminates—a fact which is hard to make many of our white brothers believe. Although the white writer was absent, I will endeavor to assume the role of a descrivative, tell and tell some few things I saw.

Then I must tell about the stylish dresses worn by the women folks. The princess gown and the Prince Chap suits were in evidence. I also saw evening coats of chiffon. What kind of material were in the dresses? Why from silk of the peau de soie, crepe de chine, and embroidered voiles variety to cheviots and flannellets.

When one finishes the other at once starts playing. Much more could be said of the picnic, but descriptive writing, no matter how pleasant, grows monotonous. W. W. HART Sucessor to R. H.
