VOL. XX. No. 42 In opening the meeting President Williams made the statement that although the organization was formed for political purposes, yet anything that tended to the cause of the people, its activities and purposes, and so invited suggestions and discussion upon the vital needs of the race in Massachusetts. It appears that the move to the state was prompted by the Springfield Worcester and other cities of the State, are thoroughly aroused to the threatening situation which confronts the race. Of late many cases of discrimination in public places, such as eating at restaurants, are being committed to the newspaper in the daily newspapers, Mr. John W. Schenk, of Ward 10, spoke of this unjust and unlawful discrimination and asked in a motion that the president of the league appoint a commissioner to act as ex-officio members, to draw up resolutions for presentation to the committee on resolutions of the Republican State Committee, to be incorporated by the Republican party of Massachusetts in its next convention. The chair appointed Messrs J. W. Schenk, of Ward 10; Charles Alexander, of Ward 18; W. L. Marshall, of West Newton; W. L. Reed, of Ward 11; P. F. Charce, of Ward 12; and Robinson, of Ward 13, stated that a resolution from Ward is colored men has been handed to the State Central Committee relative to the Negro, and asked to have the executive committee look up his record for colored Republicans opened all the year round in his ward, of which he was the president. The matter was referred to the executive committee. The committee on resolutions reported a vote of 14 to 6 in favor by a standing vote of 14 to 6 in the word "condemned" was substituted for the word "deplore" in the opening paragraph, so that the sense of the resolutions would be that the Republican party condemned acts of discrimination. The resolutions were then adopted, and returned to the committee revision. Among "the distinguished delegates and members from foreign countries who were in attendance upon the intersely interesting sessions of the International Congress of Religion, Mr. Rudolphus L. Worst, from the town of Paramaribo Suriname, Dutch Guiana. Mr. Worst read some few years ago Dr. Booker T. Washington's "Up From Slavery," translated in Dutch. He subsequently read this book in English and became a professor at the Tuskegee Institute in Alabama. After making a thorough investigation of economic conditions in his country, he concluded to attempt the establishment of an industrial institute for the purpose of teaching scientific agriculture. He branched out his inspiration. His confessions, same chiefly through reading "Up From Slavery." Mr. Worst received his primary education in a Roman Catholic school in the Dutch language. His theological training was received in the Moravian school, and he studied in the German language. Under private tutelage he studied Latin and Greek as well as English. He is now regarded as one of the most capable teachers of modern languages in his colony. He speaks Dutch, English, German and French. He is able to read Latin and Greek. He was born in a very humble community, under very unfavorable circumstances, and he is a striking 'example of a self-made man. It is his ardent desire and purpose to render to his people the same values and values of Washington has rendered the Negroes in the United Stat s.

He is very enthusiastic in his praise of this wonderful country and expresses wonder that the United States should so little interest in South America, that it is so distant when exploration, exploitation and the investment of American capital in the "America incognita" will be rampant. He informs us that there are no rich people among the native Dutch of his colony. The only rich men are Jews and they are few in number, many consist of middle-class men who are $100,000. There are no millionaires in his country. The Jews make their money in trading and in importing manufacturing articles of necessity to sell to the natives. The chief products of Dutch Guiana at the present time are bananas and cocoa. From the Fruit Company we will be the market for the bananas now sold on a large scale and being raised in Dutch Guiana. Mr. Worst is a writer of considerable versatility; he has contributed articles to newspapers and magazines on educational, biblical and scientific subjects. In British Guiana he has delivered several scholarly lectures on "Woman's Emancipation," "Cremation," "American Literature," "Self-culture" and the oratory of Mr. Worst. Mr. Worst will deliver an address before the Twentieth Century Club by special invitation of Dr. Charles F. Dole, the president on Saturday afternoon, October 42, and the early part of the following week for Holland, Germany and England. "To support themselves by their freely chosen labor, to educate and exercise freely whatever talent each may have; to unit, in those duties of society and in all duties of duty, in all and to wear away by the softening effect of time, and the changed conditions of race relation, the sad and odious memories of the old oppression, is my wish and hope for all sorts and conditions of men throughout the world, and I will be brought about by wars and disfranchisement, nor by compulses and control of oceans, and islands; it must be the slow result of justice, common sense, and a firm adherence to democratic government; it must be the unmistakable domestic or foreign, or rich, poor, must be held in check, the rest of luxury and the insufficiency of office, and of riches must be repressed, as it can hast be by a free and laborious people, independence of the party base, and unrestraint of the boss. This is the purpose of a lifelong friend of Democracy, trained in the school of Jefferson, Emerson, Garrison and Lincoln, who sees with an amused contempt the pranks of small men in great places, striving to be the best of the best, shifting plans of shallow statesmanhip and beautiful intrigue." A splendid program has been planned by the executive committee of the St Mark Musical and Literary Union for the next month.

AN AFRO-AMERICAN JOURNAL OF NEWS AND OPINION NEW YORK, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 3, 1907 Advinability of Electing a Negro Bishop Urged — Reinstatement of Public School, Teachers — Chapel W. T. Anderson. WASHINGTON, D. C. October 2.—The international convention of the Episcopal Brotherhood of St. Andrew, which has been in session here for several days, is calling renewed attention to the relation of the Negro to the triennial general convention of the Protestant Episcopal Church at happy age; it is now a new session, for a new seven's session. About twenty-five colored delegates, representing local Brotherhoods in various sections of the country, have been in attendance, and they have expressed themselves quite freely on the advisability of urging the Negro to attend the work of the colored parishes, or to leave the situation as it stands. There is no doubt that the prosecution, pro and con, will be threshed out pretty thoroughly and a lively tilt over the matter is in prospect. Both races are divided on the question, and the settlement will be vital after the Negro church among the Negroes in this locally. From present indications it is evident that the southern wing of Negro Episcopalians will favor the conservation of a missionary bishop, with special powers, in order to secure local recognition now that the missionary bishop of northern wing will stand almost as a unit against any change in present conditions, as they have no definite complaint along racial lines. Rector J. B. Brown, of J. Brown's Wadsworth, and G. F. Bragg, of Baltimore, are warm advocates of the Negro bishop plan, missionary or otherwise, while Rector D. L. Ferguson, of Kentucky, is quoted as a vigorous opponent of the movement others have made according to may may may according to the way the listener chooses to look at the matter. The success of Bishop Ferguson in Africa, and of Bishop Holly in Hayt, are pointed out by the segregationalists as an example of the success of the superintendent can do in this country among his own people. the agency in the public schools is over for the time being at least. The two positions that have been hanging fire all summer have been finally settled in the issue. Miss Lucy E. Moten retains her directorship of the normal school, where she has been serving for many years, and Prof. W. T. B. Williams has been elected to the post of supervising principal of the normal school, where Dr. W. V. T. Tunnell, Prof. Williams comes well recommended, having been connected with the schools of Indianapolis and points in the South, and for a number of years the traveling representative Institute in Indianapolis placed in $200,000. The department is credited to the influence of Mary Church Terrrell Dr. W. H. D.威, the new principal of the night school at Armstrong Manual Training school is a valuable acquaintance. He takes in the executive charge of the entire night division of the immense Armstrong Manual Training school in person the commercial branches, embracing shorthand, typewriting, bookkeeping, business artistry, and training in the shorthand. Prevising the work of the assistants who instruct in carpentry, bench work, wood and wood turning; steam and electrical engineering, machine work and steam fitting, timing, tailoring, harness making, cooking, sewing and dressmaking掌握, training in dressmaking, eighteen years of practical experience as a bookkeeper, stenographer, both in banks and in the courts, and has held important positions in a number of the leading business houses conducted by white corporations in home, home city, and international locations. He has extensive ability and fidelity to duty outweighed the handicap of color. Other night schools are being held in the Stevens school, Randall, Garnet, Garfield and Lacey buildings. Sessions are held Monday, Wednesday and Thursday. These schools afford a golden opportunity for young men and women who are employed during the day, and it is not surprising that the enrollment is large. Auditor Ralph W. Tyler is the recipient of the annual success in having Chapman W T. Anderson, of Cleveland, Ohio, promoted from the rank of captain to that of major. For ten years Dr. Anderson has been chapman of the 10th cavalry, and since the retirement of Dr. Stewart the senior chapman of the colored wing of the United States army. He is now stationed with his regiment in the Philippines, and the elevation in rank will bring him a salary and allowances to the army. The new major is a doctor of divinity as well as a doctor of divinity. This appointment through the War Department represents but a small part of the constructive work that Auditor Tyler is doing in behalf of the race. One of his latest achievements was the designation of Mr. F. C. Brandon as the chair of the Civil Division of the office of the Auditor for the Dan honor that has not been conferred upon a member of the Negro race since the new dispensation in government regulations. Rt. Rev. S. D. Ferguson, D. D. D. C. I. Missionary Bishop of Cape Palms, the one Negro to sit as a member of the Episcopal General Convention in Richmond, Va., most conspicuous delegates to the recent International Convention of the Episcopal Brotherhood of St. Andrew in this city, he lives at Monrovia, Liberia, West Africa, and when he takes his seat, in the second of the most important churches in the city, South (cf. Paulistine, Richmond), he will mark an especial history of his denomination on American soil. While in Washington, he was the guest of the President of the P. P. church. During his stay in Richmond it is understood he has accepted the invitation of Warren William C. Scott a leading, colored business man of that instrument of St. Philips P. E. church. Among the colored delegates to the Brotherhood of St. Andrew was Mr. S. A. Matthews, who came as the delegate of the Brotherhood of St. Paul's church (white). Of Milwaukee, Ind., he was a delegate, Edward Hastings, Ind., and delegates, Edward Hastings and Joseph A. Mitto, consecrated priests, representing parishes: St. Center, Nebraska. Rev. R. J. Lognat and wife of St. Philip's church, Chazelown, W. Va., were in attendance. Indianapolis, Ind., came Mr. W. F. Hastings, found a parish of St. Philip's of that city, the bishop Episcopal church in the State of Indiana, and one of the thriftest missions, notwithstanding its youth, to be found in the Middle West. Mr. Emmett J. Scott, executive secretary to Dr. Booker T. Washington, editor of The Funergee Student and all other books of the Funergee Student, the guest of Auditor Ralph W. Tyker, at his elegant home on 11th street, Northwest. Prof. W. E. B. Dibois, general secretary of the Niagara Movement, delivered an address on Monday evening at Silhob Baptist church, under the direction of the local Siquama chapter, of the Niagara Movement. The program included a serpentine lesson by Dr. F. J. Grinke; invocation by Rev. A. C. Garner; a cornet solo by Mr. Raymond Murray, of Alexandria, Va.; selection by the Amphion Glee club. Rev. J. Milton Waldron, pastor of the church, presided. Hon. John F. Cook, of the Board of Education, interment. Hon. John B. Brown, of St. Luke's P. E. church, pronounced the benediction. A silver offering was taken at the door. Mr. W. R. Griffin, who has been in charge of the Washington branch of the Grand United Order of True Reform since October 1903, has been responsible for I. W. Griffin, the president of the order. He came here by transfer from Cincinnati, O. He is a thorough-going business man and has "made good." His reports since taking hold here show that the following amounts have been handled annually: October 1, 1901, to 1905, $10,000; year 1600, $40,038, and during the present year, 1904, to September 20, $30,632,121, making a grand total for the almost four years of $145,801,78. Chief Griffin, the order during his incumbency and looks forward to an even brighter prospect next year. CONVICTION ON SUNDAY VOIDED Judge Ten Ryk Mule Courts Can't Judge Vanessa @ the Kebab Judge Ten Eyek, in the Court of Common Pleas, ordered released from custody the five colored women convicted by Judge Howell in the First Precinct court court Sunday, September 1, of being discharged from prison and sentenced to five days each in the penitentiary. The court declared that as the five women had been convicted on Sunday, their conviction and all others, except in conviction cases, were illegal. Judge Ten Eyek was sentenced on an appeal taken from Judge Howell's decision by the five defendants, through their counsel George H. Doleman. While the validity of Sunday conviction has never been passed by both in this county, Judge John A. Blair, of Hudson county, gave a decision in the matter several years ago. Two men were arrested in Hoboken as suspicious persons and convicted by the recorder on criminal charges set aside for the reason that no power is vested in the courts to pass on cases on the Sabbath. Judge Ten Eyek said, in announcing his decision that as the common law gives the courts no right to try cases on criminal charges, he insisted that the unlawful unless specific power is given to the judges by statute to try cases on that day. The court explained that desertion convictions on Sunday are legal because special statutory power is given to pass on these cases on the Sabbath. When Judge Ten Feyk had announced his decision he signed an order directing the release of the five women. The woman who gain their release by the decision are Susan Wilson, Elizabeth Williams, Nellie the Doll, Hannah Granville and Ivonne White. They were convicted of having coined section one of "an act concerning disorderly persons" revision of 1808. Mr. Douglas raised the contention that Sunghe was "not a day" legally, and therefore the police court was without jurisdiction. COLONY FOR CALIFORNIA. Several Million Dollars Back of the Movement. Los Angeles, Sept. 28. A project to establish a large colony of Negroes in southern California is being promoted by an association which is about to seek State incorporation. One of the promoters is Lieutenant Colonel Allensworth, of this city, formerly in the United States, and several million dollars is said to represent the wealth of the Negroes lack of the movement. Colonel Allensworth said "to-day that a committee of the association will soon visit a 90,000-acre tract in Riverside and San Diego counties near Murita, and, if satisfied, will purchase the land. The colony, he said, will not be communistic, the land simply will be offered to small companies. The object is to establish a small colony where Negroes will have an opportunity to work under favorable conditions. Sets Forth the Claims of the Organization of Which B. F. Howard is the Grand Enabled Ruler. Nonson, Va., Sept. 28. For the deeply reflective mind, discussion, disloyalty and graft are evils all undisputable, and whenever such conditions are put in practice, either individually or collectively, the force of reaction before reaching its limitations is displastic. Averie hikes the kingdom of England and kingdoms plunge into the abyss of despair. As we ponder over the past, we are compelled to conclude that the actions of to-day are but the actions of yesterday, while each year is but the repetition of the past. The tremulous unrest of this country is the advanced Elks is beyond the private opinions of a few men, whose grief for office is plainly manifested in seeking fame not by merit; but by those methods of action, which have to-day been depreciated and condemned by the greater masses of Xenophon in their eight annual session held in the hospitable city of Reading, Pa. It is with much pleasure that we welcome the remarks of Mr. Sandy P. Jones relative to plans for reconciliation of these two forces now divided, and that no untimely remarks should at this period be expressed. Would that it were we had held the meeting in office, holding the highest possible gift, that they were as conservative and as diplomatic as you and others of your clan, instead of these deplorable conditions that now exist, at a time when prejudicial legislation is fighting this order. Sadder still but true, the Negroes fighting among themselves, when much better good could be accomplished in the future than what has been the past. Why not, when the arbitration committee meets (if they are allowed to do so), have the public press there, so that the truth can be given to the people, and the truth can be given to the people, and the truth can be given to the people, and the truth can be given to the people whose actions in this affair cannot stand the searchlight of public investigation? Men whose greed for office is above the species, this great, grand and glorious order, as well as the order, and relegated to the background; yes, if need be, put out of the rank and file of either side. The sooner the masses as a whole learn this important lesson as the order, and that no set of men are in the way of meeting them can we rest assured of the best results to be obtained. Mr. Howard needs great consideration from all, as he was the only and first man to give to his race the organization of which is rilitally decreed that no man of color need apply. It is with much regret that we observe that the opposing faction call their meeting in Chicago its "eighth annual session," in face of the fact that their charismatic leader, the Governor of the State of Virginia last November. Why is it that they went to Columbus, Ohio, and got out a charter about four weeks ahead of our convention, and while we were endeavoring to injure and tried to prevent a injunction that bore them from existing? Judge Dillon, of the city of Columbus, Ohio, refused himself to the dissenters as The Howard faction from all proof has been presented. Improved Benocent and Protective Order of Elks of the World, and that as the parent body have a priority right from the fact that their minutes show from the first Grand Lodge session united in 1809 and that he considered the attack "unjust," "unmistakible," and "mautous," and positively refused to grant them the injunction. Why is it that men who were prime faction members of the faction, and whose names appeared on charter secured before our meeting at Columbus for the purpose of opposing its, are now upon the Atkins committee of arbitration? Is it a spectacle to hold? Why are some of the class of men that sit in the executive council of Dr. Atkins, and with this class of men you can rest assured that this affair will never be adjusted by arbitration. We have withstood the repeated attacks of the opposing side, sphinx-like, calm and serene, and now our endurance is almost at its limit, and we stand ready to put our foot down. We have corrected and if there is any personal correctance in existence showing of money being offered to men of our side to induce a lodge or lodges to come over to the opposing side; when the time comes we will let the same go to public press, and to dry stand ready to do so regularly. We will always affect most seriously some of our most dear friends and at one time brother. We have given to the public our reports as to money, etc. collected. Why don't the Chicago faction publish the same as we have done in Titw New York in 1880? What the people want are facts, not accounts of parades, halls and picnics. We are giving them figures, honest ones at that, and we are not chilling to be any more than we are. Further, we claim that it is the public duty to inform the public of the rights, and we are proud to say that the likeness of our Grand Exalted Ruler adorns the same. Why is it that Dr. Atkins will not do the same? Is he afraid of some legal action from us? No, we will never resort to the courts unless we are forced to do so. We hope to gain the people givng them facts, and as we present the same we stand ready to back up the in that many way, which we hope will gain the admiration and challenge the noblest who lives in a shatched roof cabin, or an Elk whose abode is in a spiral crowned palace. Let us ever bear in mind that paper alone, or charters, do not make organizations; it is the people that make such great and effective bodies, composed of such men who stand for the best in the world, which they resist and whose love for home and God is paramount. I wish to refer to the Hon. J. Frank Wheaten, of New York, who by his masterly eloquence and force carried the Grand Lodge to Brooklyn when at Washington in the face of strong opposition to the Grand Lodge, his own constituency treated him in such a manner that was absolutely diagnostic and further, Mr. Preston Moore asserts "that New York delegations used the liberalizing influence of a noble leader, and I prefer liberalisation to the more conservative proven conclusively that 'something is rotten in Denmark.' We are afraid that they cannot conserve their own forces, and never will. Let us remember that few great and noble causes ever reached their ultimate without some power of reaction; all of them have been so insignificant that incident is equal to the angle of reflection." All of these potent facts will be evidenced in both of these organizations, If our cause be true, or if the other fellow's cause be the same, this reaction will determine. If our force of incident is correct the other fellow's be the same, or neither will decide. We hope, we trust, we wait. JAMES E. MILLS, M. D. Grand Organizer I. B. P. O. Elks HOWARD ORPHAN ASYLUM. Legacy of Five Hundred Dollars for Bronxlyn Institute The Women's Auxiliary to the board of managers of the Howard Orphan Asylum held its first meeting of this season in the parlor of the main building, 1550 Dean street, Brooklyn, Friday afternoon.

WASHINGTON EPISCOPAL CATHE- & DRAL Hishop Ferguson Aminta at Laying of (Corner Stone. Washington, Sept. 29 - With imposing ceremonies in the presence of 10,000 people the Right Rev Henry Y. Satterne, Bishop of Washington, at noon to day bid and praised the foundation stone of the Protestant Episcopal Cathedral of St. Peter and St. Paul. The President of the United States, accompanied by Mrs. Roosevelt, who is an Episcopalian, attended the ceremonies at London delivered a salutation on behalf of the Archbishop of Canterbury, presented an ambon, or pulpit, made of stones taken from Canterbury Cathedral. This was given by the Archbishop in memory of his disturious predecessor, Stephen Langton, who at the West India Church erected the Magna Charta from King John. The invocation was delivered by the Rev Dr. Randolph H. H. McKim of Epiphany church, Washington. By turns other visiting clergymen read the services, these participating being Bishop Louis, Archbishop Nuttall of the West India Church, Ferguson of Africa; Bishop Doeine, of Albany; Bishop Gibson, of Richmond, Va., and Bishop Paret, of Maryland. PRICE, 5 CENTS RACE PROBLEM IN THE NORTH Prof. Deborah Benoit Gulbere Republican Institute CASE SYSTEM OF SOUTH Northern Cities, Open, the Way of Europe to Vietnam of Injustice —Plan for Dozens Human and Work. Professor W. E. B. Dubois, Ph. D., of Atlanta University, delivered an address on "The Northern Negro Problem" under the annotations of the Brooklyn In- stitute Gallery, last Saturday. The street, last Sutton, The Throne, a fair attendance. Among other things, Professor Dubois said: In the South there has been developed a caste system succeeding the slavery of other days. Into this caste system every Negro, no matter what his ability or aspirations may be, is in threat; the castes of the South have a large number of great confines where the possibility of escaping caste at least in its most aggravating personal features is offered, consequently the Northern city has for nearly a generation been a place of escape for those persons in the South who could not endure the grind and the long standing conditions of caste there. Now, these castes can novelly in the race problem which careless and superficial theorists are apt to forget. "It is said, for instance: Why do Negroes stand the treatment they get in the South, why don't they stick together and defend themselves?" The answer is very clear, the least of the South's problems is the North, so long as that chance is open freely, this docility will, to a certain extent, mark the Southern Negro. Again, persons wonder at crime among Negroes in the North. They say we can explain crime in the South as a natural result of emancipation and different policies, but the large percentage of crime among Negroes Chicago and New York and Boston? The answer to that is equally clear. The criminal is the most migratory of all social classes, both by his own instinct and by the policy of the police force, consequently the Northern criminals of the cases are not products of Northern conditions, perfectly logical results of Southern conditions. "In the third place, 'how is it, people say, that these should be a problem of work among Northern Negroes in particular, when they can get plenty of work even in the North you have to buy to get good servants or workinggreen of various kinds?" The answer here is that these workingmen have been dissatisfied with the social conditions in the South for which you have no right to blame them, because you have no right to blame them, they stand in the face of immigration, and untrained immigrants at that, ignorant of the city's ways, not versed in its demands and open to all the allurement of idleness and vice and crime. "Considering, then, that the trend city has a natural social force at the present and in the future, in case of the Negro, by the contrast between the country and city in the South and the refuge offered in the North, we have been forced to ask what is the duty of a great Northern city like New York toward this problem and toward this question? Now, we may look upon that duty from three points of view: In the first place, New York has a duty not simply to itself, but to the whole country, because it is the greatest single center of modern civilization in America. It can be the center of the other, of such a civilization. It must seek not simply to settle its Negro problem, or its Jewish problem, or its city problem, or its civic problem from its own selfish point of view; but for the sake of the South of its race problem, and for the sake of the whole land, and for the sake of the whole country with its tremendous moral problem, New York must attack and solve the phases of these problems which come to it and must bring to bear the great wealth of intelligence and stamina of the whole land has poured into this island. "Then, too, New York is above all a center of industry, a center of that wonderful and complicated cooperation by which men help men and work to make human effort effective in the satisfying New York must see to it that those willing to work are given a chance to work; that the very best work that each worker can do is gotten out of him; that the problem of the unemployed who cannot get employment should be solved just as quickly and justly as possible in New York to do this? It can do it by tending to four great things. It can see that its citizens have decent homes; that the physical surroundings of the New York family shall be made such that it will not be impossible to bring children up decently. This problem the New York public is attacking is so far as its Negro population is concerned. When it is asked to do this Negro population what it is doing for the white workmen the demand is not made on the score of charity, but a matter of self defense and far-sighted policy as far as the city is concerned. Negro people to have any class of people poorly and viciously housed, and dangerous not so much to the people thus housed as to the better class of the community. To-day in New York it is a matter of very great difficulty for a decent, self respecting, hard working Negro family to hire a reasonable price or at a price which other persons of similar social class would be asked to pay. Second place New York. common school training. Here, again, the city is remiss so far as its Negro children are concerned. There are too many schools in this city where Negro children receive such outrageous treatment from teachers as to be thoroughly discouraged in their search of training, and this perhaps In the third place, and this place is the greatest problem. New York should see to it, first, that every colored man who wants to work is given a chance to work, that not only is he given a chance, but that he is encouraged to try do the very best work that he is capable of doing and that his work is rewarded as well as that of other persons. Now, this may seem to be asking for colored men more than what is done for whites, and in a certain sense it is. There are plenty of deserving white people in New York city who cannot get work, cannot get the kind of work that they are fitted to do and who are denied proper reward and promotion, but the point that I am making is this, that colored people now have a much poorer chance in these respects than perhaps any other race in the city, while considering their past, they ought, as a matter of fact to have a better chance. It is to be expected that a race with the training that we have had should have tendencies toward Menes, toward lack of self-respect and indifferent ambition and that these tendencies should be accentuated by every bit of prejudice and discrimination. A city like this, therefore, that needs workers, that is a center of work, should make a special effort to overcome these tendencies among colored people by giving them unusual chances. "In the fourth place, the city should see to it that the various avenues of uplift, of enlightenment and encouragement which it is furnishing for its citizens should be open freely to its colored citizens and that they should be encouraged especially to take advantage of them. Perhaps in no other respect do northern cities fail more in their duty than in this. Every great city has its playgrounds, its libraries, its evening schools, its trade schools, its lecture courses, etc., but only in exceptional cases are Negroes expected to take advantage of these. vantage. "Usually the appearance of a Negro for admission to any one of these raises an amount of discussion and advice which is exceedingly painful to any self-respecting applicant. The result is that in most cases the Negro simply avoids these things so that you have a curious case that in those very cities where the effects at unlift and civilization in the masses are greatest, the great mass of Negroes pass on in their daily life altogether antitouched. There are in New York city some splendid executions to this rule, but it is a rule nevertheless. If, now, a city like New York should do these things, should attempt to furnish decent people with decent homes at reasonable prices, regardless of color, should see that the schools are open to all alike, should see that opportunities and promotion are opened to all and particularly to colored people and should see that the opportunities for uplift and development given the public are, so far as Negroes are concerned, not confined to charity; if now, New York should do this, what would be the result? Would it not encourage more Negroes to come to New York? It certainly would! Where the Negroes are best treated with most humanity and consideration, with best chances for development, there they are certainly coming. "And when I made this answer to a group of distinguished New Yorkers several years ago, I felt very distinctly than it dampened their efforts, but in making this answer I am simply saying that Negroes are human, that if America wants to stop immigrants from Europe it can very easily do so by making it very uncomfortable for immigrants, and, on the other hand, if we make this country worth living in, it is certainly going to attract them, and the thing we have got to consider is whether we would rather selfishly enjoy an unjust land or a prejudiced city than to open our gates to worthy men regardless of race and color. "In this immigration which a city like New York would attract, by justice there will be certain compensations. You will get the best of the Negro and not the worst, and it is the worst class that your tenderloin regulations have in the past been encouraging. A liberal policy on the other hand, in home school work and culture will bring to New York a far different class of Negroes. More than that, if you are interested in the South and its problems, if you want to help settle them according to justice and decency, your first step should be clear your own skills. So long as you are unjust, so long as I find illicitly in getting a simple meal of vices in New York, you can be held accountable." IS IT ANOTHER INFIDENT LIKE? From: Natalie Gale William E. Emanuel Duklas, the one overshadowing figure in the Nagata Movement, was strongly remnanted to the charge made by a newspaper of his home city, Atlanta and to repeated in various papers throughout the country, that while preaching the full liberty for the Negro and demanding the right to cast his ballot as any other citizen, he has disfranchised himself by refusing to pay his poll tax. In Georgia so far, the only restriction upon manhood sufficiency is the preemption of a poll tax. This tax is alleged. Duklas will not tax. How Dr. Dubois, with his volubile temper, cast at once under such a charge we cannot understand. We have expected these to lead from him in language more expressive than dignified a denial of the charge, and a statement of the facts, according to his version. Less than a year ago, we remember, a report emanating from the literary bureau of the Jamestown Exposition went the rounds of the press that Dr. Dubois was arranging an educational exhibit for the Exposition. The statement had begun carefully printed before Dubois demonstrated it as an "impendent" why this silence, then, about a report which reflects upon him as a good citizen" Dogs, as Animals, Chills started by Dr. Dubois, certainly on the matter.

On Saturday afternoon, Sept. 14, the two great bodies, the National Baptist Convention and its auxiliary, the Women's Convention, adjourned, and delegates procured every available conveyance—cars, carriages, bicycles—and went The image provided is too blurry to accurately recognize any text.

There are trees in the foreground. out en masse, to fittingly dedicate to God and formally present to the race, an institution which will give our women and girls unlimited opportunity to learn to render most acceptable service in those professions for which they are by nature best fitted. For quite an hour a continuous stream of humanity, with bright faces and beaming eyes, as a result of their fondest hopes, earnest prayers and strenuous efforts, wended its way to the pinnae of the hill where the building grandly stood overlooking the surrounding plains, with imposing dignity. It was a most pleasing and inspiring spectacle. After a survey of the entire situation, all with LINCOLN INSTITUTE NOTES School Well Advenued in Term's Work —High Rank of Graduates JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. October 2.— Even in the matter of length of term Lincoln Institute stands almost in a class by itself among accredited schools for the education of the Negro; here a complete ten months' term constitutes the regular scholastic year, which, with a summer term of seven weeks, leaves just one month when the school is closed and even then the president is on the grounds doing a rushing business in official correspondence. Many schools for higher as well as industrial training are just opening. Lincoln Institute opened for the enrollment of students and organization of classes Tuesday morning. September 2, while the first faculty meeting of the year was called for September 1. The first day's enrollment was the largest in the history of the institution and now at the close of the first month four hundred students have enrolled Dr. Allen, president, certainly merits the high commendation he receives locally and from all parts of the country for the enthusiasm, energy and business acumen which he is throwing into the work of making Lincoln Institute the pride of both races in Missouri and elsewhere. Graduates of the school who desire to teach are always in demand for high grade literary and industrial positions, while graduates who wish to pursue enhanced courses of study elsewhere find no difficulty in securing credit for work done here, to illustrate. Miss Josephine Yates, who graduated from the senior normal department last June, at the age of 76teen, received on the morning of graduation official notice from Kansas University, one of the ranking universities of the country, that the transcript of her studies and marks from Lincoln Institute would give her "freshman credit in the university without any conditions whatever", later the committee on advanced credits decided that in Kansas University Miss Yates would be allowed to graduate in three years and a half from the date of entrance because of the amount of professional work in psychology and philosophy, which she had done in Presidency Mien's department. We mention this circumstance to illustrate the character of the work that is being done in Lincoln Institute for growth is the waterword and this spirit so fully pervades the student body that the majority become ardent students for life, individual workers in whatever line of work they eventually adhere. President Allen, always alive to the interests of his race, inaugurated in the first year of his presidency a farmers convention, and now for five successive years this convention has been one of the most interesting features of the fall and winter term; held this year as dawn on the first Friday in November, it is hoped that a larger number of farmers from Nebraska and adjoining States will present with products from their respective farms to demonstrate what they are accomplish in agriculture, dairy, and the various occupations incident to farm life.

The vast throng of workers, friends and spectators caught the spirit and entered heartily into the service. Earnest and fervent prayers, loud and inspiring hosannas, eloquent and convincing orations, made the welcoming ring. A handsome cash donation was given, supplemented by over 20,000 in pledges. Out there on Lincoln, Heights, underneath the azure skies, the National Baptist Convention presented all that the National Training School is, and what it hopes to be, to God for His use and glory. THE MUSEUM OF ART AND SCIENCE It will be remembered that this is the first time in the history of this American civilization that a school of this character has been dedicated. It is strikingly significant that the committee, without regard to its name, succeeded in selecting this beautiful place on Lincoln Heights. Whenever and wherever Lincoln is seen or heard, it is suggestive of slavery and a reminder of Freedom. "Lincoln" means ennunciation. "The policy of the founders of this institution means in its ultimate analysis a removal of the bonds of ignorance and sin that enslave a vast majority of our women and giving to them unhampered freedom to unfold into the highest type NOKPOLK'S FINE HOTEL Mt. Vernon Hotel Opened to Public Magnolia Crescent NORWOLK, Va., Sept. 30—Amidst a scene enervating sweet strains of music by the ideal Orchestra, eminent Afro-American Masons from many States, prominent business men of this city and contiguous points, and the geny of Tidewater, Va., a weary observer could not be found at the opening of the palatial Mt. Vernon Hotel, Mr L. W. Bright, proprietor, Monday evening, September 21. This was a belly evening for the modern Afro-American epicurists of Norfolk. The disreputable frequenters of questionable reports were as present and Mr. Bright says that Hotel Mt.

The dining halls, when completed, will help to dismuse all of the minor miseries of a fellow-life, who will be served in these halls. The buffet equals the finest in the State and traveling men say it surpasses all other Afro-American buffets, with its $4.100 charge. The furniture is of malogany.

I believe in Bishop Petter's theory of lifting a certain class of men to a higher plane by destroying the causes that produce passions that make men low and debased and make their habitats luxurious as possible and arouse a true appreciation for cleanliness and purity. Men of influence have inspected this hotel and they all say that this is the most American hostelry in the country.

Tuesday Norfolk witnessed one of the largest colored Masonic parades in the history of Norfolk. After parading the principal streets, the paraders boarded a special steamer for the Exposition, where Negro Mason day was observed, the principal speaker being Dr. Crutn, of Charleston, S. C. At the American Amusement Park at night a banquet was given in honor of the Masonic Congress by the Masons of Norfolk, Portsmouth, Hampton, Newport News and vicinity. This affair was superb. Mr J. H.

The following subjects were read and discussed "Masonic Conferences," "Fraternal Representatives," "Masonic Charity," "The Blue Lodge and the Grand Lodge," "The Higher Degrees—Are They Masonic?" and "The Necessity of a Bureau of Information." Misses Hattie and Maria Martin and Cora Styron, of New Bern, N.C., spent a few days in this section visiting the historical points of this section. While here, they were the guests of Mr. and Mrs. Eanne Tuston A number of prominent African-American citizens of this section do not like the way Afro-Americans of this city have been saddled by some of the officials of the Negro department. Some of these officials are trying to make good by trying at this late date to have a "Norfolk Negro day." Let us see what the results will be. Dr. Graham, of Champion, addressed a large number of men at the town's meeting at the V M C A last Sunday. He inspired the men. D. Webster Davis, Virginia noted Afro-American poet, preacher, pedagogue and lecturer, gave one of his interesting discourses at the V M C A and ordained last Friday night. His subject was "Grumblers." The buyer for Messer, Carter & Dorks, the prominent tailors and haberdasher of Norfolk, has returned from the North after buying new stock.

Mr. Fortune's Retirement Mr. Fortune's Retirement With the current issue of THE AGE I sever my connection with the property as responsible director of its business and editorial policy. In doing so I leave in the newspaper my spirit of good will, where it has abided for some thirty years. During that time I strove to do right as God gave me the light. I appreciate the friendships I have made and hope for the enemies I have made that they cheerfully feel that they got what was due them. I extend my hearty good wishes to the new management. What I say in THE AGE in the future will be over my signature. T. THOMAS FORTUNE New York, September 23, 1907. The New York Age Publishing Company regrets that it must carry in this issue of the paper the above statement from Mr. Fortune. Against the protest of the stockholders he has decided to retire from editorial control of this newspaper, to realize long-cherished ambitions for more literary leisure. We need not eulogize Mr. Fortune. His devoted labors for thirty years in behalf of the Afro-American through the columns of The Axe and the public press of the country are known of all men. It is a pleasure, however, to announce that although Mr. Fortune will no longer carry the burdens of detail necessary in the conduct of such a large plant as this, he will, nevertheless, continue to address through The Axe that vast number of persons, who for so many years have looked to him for "light and leading." Over his own signature he will still from time to time sound a clarion note in behalf of and against those things which have enlisted his support or his opposition. In the Future, as in the past, The Ace will have but one mission: to serve God, race and country. It will resolutely stand for the right as God gives it light to see; it will be for no man and against no man on personal grounds; it will stand for principles, not men, and will earnestly strive to realize to be in the national sense, "a journal of news and opinion." We shall strive to make the newspaper stronger, better, with a keen sense for news, and with the hope always of g鉴听 here in Greater New York and all the surrounding territory, and, as well, throughout the whole country, a loyal constituency. In this behalf we shall expect in the future, as in the past, to have the loyal support of all good men. Independent, clean, watchful, with decent ideals always, it shall strive to secure and to deserve the confidence of those to the promotion of whose best interests it is primarily dedicated, and as well of that larger public whose encouragement and support it will seek Washington No Barometer A few short years back Wall street was considered the financial barometer for this country. The rise and fall of stocks in Wall street were watched eagerly by people from coast to coast. If Wall street showed a panicky feeling investors in California would hold aloft, banks would call in loans, and require girl eloped security of quadruple value for new loans. Conditions have now changed. The country has grown too large and too prosperous to be controlled by a few men in Wall street. Wall street's antes no longer excite fear or favor throughout the boundless west, terming with energy; nor, in the east, possessing wealth and conservatism, nor in the south Wall street is no longer the country's barometer. promised a joint parties and incumbent began to arm for the prophesied fray. If the news presented the nomination of even a constable in a back county or a far off State the other candidates began to hedge and their partisan friend-maske to get to court. If the news voiced sentiments against the President, any member of his official family, or a Congressman, the rest of the country accepted it as bona fide, and as general, simply because it came out of Washington. This, however, is a different period, and Washington manufacturers of sentiment and opinions allow all their voices even give them away out through the # east, out in the robust west, or down in the progressing south, where voters now generate their own sentiment and own opinions. This is especially true of colored Washington. Government clerks do not represent much more than their positions, and those who have drawn salaries for years, yet have long since ceased to return home to vote—have really lost their. State residence, can no more express or mould the sentiments of colored men who actually live and DO in the States than a Patagonian can express or mould sentiment in Lapland. And it is about time that some of the colored clerks about Washington, the ones who never go home to vote especially, who indulge in much-falk and attempted sentiment making awake to the fact that they control no one. When the band wagon passes watch these same non-voters clamor for a seat. But suppose the seats have been reserved for voters? That dull thud will be sickening—horrible. Growth of Industrial The spread of the doctrine of training the hands as well as the head is not confined to any race or section, and nowhere is it more marked than in the large cities. Making the first demonstration of its value as applied to the Afro-American and Indian at Hampton and Tuskegee, industrial training has found general acceptance as a special branch of educational effort applicable to all races and conditions on American soil. According to a recent report the National Society for the Promotion of Industrial Education, which is investigating the demand for public trade schools in cities, has found the need for such schools as great here in New York as in cities that are more distinctly manufacturing communities. Cooper Union opened last week with a waiting list nearly as large as its enrollment and the Mechanics Institute has 2,500 applications, with room for only 1,500 pupils. The demand for public trade schools has caused the Board of Education to determine to open a night industrial school in the new Stuyvesant Manual Training High School, in East Fifthth street, as soon as the equipment is ready. Two other evening trade schools now are in operation, one in Brooklyn, the other in Long Island City, which have a register of more than 2,400. The elementary evening trade school in Public School 67, under the principal-lip of Dr. William L. Bulkley, has given convincing evidence of the demand for and practical usefulness of this kind of training as an adjunct of the public school system. The question of establishing free municipal trade schools in the large cities will come up for discussion at the convention of the National Society for the Promotion of Industrial Education, to be held in Chicago December 5. A Resizable Action The recent National Negro Baptist Convention which held its session in Washington deserves much credit, under the leadership of Dr E C Morris, for failing to pass certain resolutions of a political nature which were presented by a small element in that body. The race knows the position of TD NA on the dismissal of the Negro troops, and also the country knows that we never fail to stand up and condemn any specific act of wrong against our race, but the time has come when there is no reason why every Negro organization in the country should attempt to pass resolutions condemning the President of the United States, especially when this is done over and over again. The people will not stand for and support any race that condemns the President of their country continually. Besides, the country is getting pretty tired of what is called the political preacher, and Dr Morris and others were most wise in keeping politics out of the convention. There should be at least one national African-American convention where politics do not enter. The Death of Miss Anna T. Jeanes Our readers have doubtless seen through the news & apaches that Miss Anna T. Jeanes died at her home in Philadelphia last week. In the death of Miss Jeanes our race loses one of its best and most generous friends. Her gift of a million dollars toward the education of the Afro American children in the South is familiar to our readers. This, however, was not the only gift made by Miss Jeanes in this direction. She gave most generously to various institutions in the South and in the North for our race, where she lived. It is known that she gave at least $220,000 in addition to her million-dollar gift, the $220,000 being under the control of two individuals in whom she had the greatest confidence. In every way possible our race should show its appreciation to such friends. Rev. Corrothers' Mouth We have no doubt that most of the hishis and high officials of the African Methodist Episcopal Zion church are disgusted with the cruelties of the mouth of Rev. Corrothers of Washington, D.C. Regularly once a week it seems that Rev. Corrothers has some outbreak and screeds in making himself disgusting to the citizens of Washington and the rest of mankind. His cruelties would not be so bad if what he had to say bad some sent in, it but the seems THE NEW YORK AGE: THURSDAY OCTOBER 3, 1907. to be willing to say anything and do anything and act in any way to get a little cheap notoriously, the kind of notoriously that is unworthy of a minister of the gospel. Rev. Corrothers reminds us of Lincoln's steamboat on the Sangamon River. Mr. Lincoln said that there used to be a little steamboat which ran up and down the Sangamon River, that was all right except in one respect, whenever the whistle blew, the engine stopped running. The difficulty with Rev. Corrothers is that when his tongue begins to wag his brain seems to stop. We advise Rev. Corrothers to attend to his church work, if he has any. If he cannot be made to do so on his own account, the officers of the church should see to it that he confines himself more in the future to his churchly duties and less to the nonsense which he is constantly trying to give out to the press. "At the opening session of the American Bankers' Association, at Atlantic City last week, Governor Swanson of Virginia pictured the South as the coming center of the world's manufacturing industries. He said that the disfranchisement of the Negro and his consequent elimination from politics in many Southern States had been one of the greatest factors in the advancement of the South. "At last the office, the business houses and the financial institutions of the South are in the hauds of intelligent Anglo-Saxons," he declared, "and with God's help and our own good right arm we will hold him where he is for his own good and our own salvation." Governor Swanson does violence to the intelligence with which he is undoubtedly endowed, when he utters such sentiments as the above. He also fails to give credit to the race which he maligns for the important part it has played as a factor in the material prosperity of the Old Dominion. The Governor could study the statistics of the State Auditor to good advantage. It would seem that the shooting up of unfriendly towns is getting to be a common charge made against the soldiers of the regular army without regard to color. The War Department is now engaged in making an investigation of the affair in which certain soldiers on their way to Gettysburg are alleged to have participated at Frederick, Md. It has been unofficially reported to the War Department that the detachment engaged in promiscuous firing when they entered the town. No one was injured, but so far as the Department knows the shooting was unwarranted, and accordingly an investigation has been ordered. It will be interesting to watch the outcome of this matter to see if it throws any light on the Brownsville affair, in which black soldiers were the alleged culprits, and also to observe if any discharge "without honor" result from the investigation. We notice that our exeitable and errate editor in Boston, Mr W M Trotter, who condemns everything in the way of Jim Crowism that does not come his way, has recently opened "head quarters for real estate for colored patrons." What does this mean? We thought that Trotter and his kind were thoroughly opposed to anything that was in the direction of race separation and Jim Crowism. However, Mr Trotter is opposed to everything except an Afro American newspaper and an Afro American headquarters for real estate which brings dollars into his pocket. We cannot see the difference for our part between the Jim Crow ammys to the Jamestown Exposition and a Jim Crow "headquarters for real estate for colored patrons" in the city of Boston. Magistrate Finn, of the Tomb's police court, is reported in a daily paper announcing the following unique indictment: "I am almost afraid to impose a fine on a colored man. It might be a headache on me for the rest of my life." The case was that of James Statermold, 28 years old, of 26 Syth Avenue, charged with sweeping dirt from a store at that address on the pavement. The prisoner was discharged with a toppim and the Magistrate escaped the dreaded hooded, but the question is whether a new precedent has been established in criminal jurisdiction as set forth in the courts of first instance in the great metropolis. TRIBUTE TO FORTUNE: Auditor Ralph W. Tyler Contributor Some Postes. From The National Review SECOND REVIEW Editor I. Thomas Fortune in the ministry, would use a strange shifting of base. Mr. Fortune has been a splendid preacher all his life. The Freeman In season and out, Mr. Fortune has preached, and preached as but few men could preach, with fire and eloquence and barking Truth. In this day, when he is sick and worn and tired, here comes the truly tribal, and the proffered crown from the bands of those who have cast stones, and imagined vain things, and殴ed him. Timothy Thomas Fortune is one of the loveliest characters of his age, a genius, an ornament to his period, a glory to his calling. Perhaps he was a glory to his men, neither by a vice nor with damning pen, but if we know his place in history was long ago, and is secure, and those who have cursed and maligned him, mere puppies in his foot, are full of shame. And yet in his own language this is "the way of the world." The editorial tribute you paid T. Thomas Fortune in your issue of today, September 21, was just a credit to the Review's magazine, and is, like unto a beautiful rose that fearlessly blooms in the garden full of light. When Tom Fortune is forced to lay down his pen for journalism, and the race, will be the losers. He has given us vastly more than he has received. The present is usually ungrateful. The future always deals justly. This selfish present may contribute few gardens for him, but there can be no doubt but what the future will pluck the most beautiful and sweetest flowers—full blown flowers, and wrenche them for our own Tom Fortune, a race man, every fibre of him: Sincerely yours, RALPH W. TYLER. Washington, D. C. Sept. 21, 1907. FEDERAL RETROGRESSION Dr. W. R. Lavin Palmieri Out the Weakness of the Government. To the Editor of THE NEW YORK ACE The Constitution of our Government is a veritable rock of defence to American citizenship. It amply and equally guards and protects every man and his legitimate interests in its great principles. It holds in the amplitude of these principles every legislation which is possible in the growth of the country. In all the fair legislation since the adoption of the Constitution, Congress has not gone beyond its limitations. Every question involving any phase of its great principles was determined by it. The abolitionists went to it with the cause of the slaves, and got liberty for four million Negroes. The South went to it with the question of "State Sovereignty," but was denied its claims; and now will be taken into account by the Court of "Judicial Commission," etc., which is called Federal' aggression upon the Constitutional rights of corporate interests. The question in its agitation by statemen, jurists and leaders of corporate interests, is arresting the attention of the lay citizenship of the nation. But what is the matter with the eagle-eyed Constitutionalists that they can't see behind as well as before administrations, and that there are many dangers in Federal retrogression as there are in Federal aggression? In their loyalty to and zeal for the Constitution, why don't they try to stop the cebb as well as stay the thood? The fundamental law of the land has been trampled under foot; the rights of loyal American citizens shamefully ignored by Federal retrogression. The inquiring system of disfranchisement of and unjust discrimination against the Negro in the South are by far more serious violations of the Constitution by retrocession than "Judicial commission as expressed by the last Congress, industrial candidate recently at Jamestown on "Constitutional Day." The Constitution is not weak. President Jackson doesn't think it was weak when South Carolina passed the "Nullification Act." Administration only of the Government has been weak. The toleration of such administrations has fixed in the public mind something contrary to the Constitution, as part of the administration all the vigor and emphasis, justice and political equality of the Constitution. The constitutions of at least five of the Southern States today are more of an effort to the Federal Constitution than they were before the Civil War. For the Federal Constitution did not only force them to recognize their authority, but also to change their constitutions. But in recent years they, by an adductions aggression, have more than reclaim what they lost in political power by the war, because of Federal retrogressions. We need more broad and fair-minded champions of the Constitution and less of those of only paid and selfish interest. Calamity Howlers Have a Flit. Washington, D.C. A few newspapers, and a few calamity howlers are having a fit because Chaplain Anderson was recommended for promotion to rank of major by Secretary of War Taft, and are charging that it is done for political effect and that Author R W Tyler, who presented Chaplain Anderson's case to the secretary, is being used to control the colored vote with political pressure. The reason in the case are these Chaplain Anderson's ten years, and this length of service entitled him to promotion, providing he had been recommended for "exceptional service." There was to be more Chaplain in the army promoted to the rank of major. Naturally, Chaplain Anderson desired the promotion, and likewise his friend, desired it for him. He had been recommended, and strongly, too, by General Lawton for "exceptional and mentorship service." Chaplain Anderson's record was perfect. His friends believed he would be able to take the matter up with the secretary. Mr Tyler, it is said by those who know, positively refused to take up his case on any other basis than merit above, positively refused to ask for the promotion on grounds of political expediency. It is stated on authority that in presenting Chaplain Anderson's case he said to Secretary Taft: "I ask your consideration of Chaplain Anderson because of real merit alone, and believe that his endorsements as shown in the recommendations of his regimental and commanding officers show that he is justly entitled and not a world war hero, and directly or indirectly about politics political influence. The fact that Secretary Taft recommended Anderson's promotion simply on merit clearly demonstrates that in case of merit he recognizes no color. flow Not to Sleep. Don't sleep on your left side, for it causes too great a pressure on the heart. Don't sleep on your right side, for it presses with the respiration of that lung. Don't sleep sitting in a chair, for your body falls into an unnatural position and you cannot get the necessary relaxation. Don't sleep standing up, for you may topple over and crack your skull. Don't sleep—Puck. TO THE RESCUE OF LIBERIA The Republic of Liberia, occupies a strategic point on the west coast of Africa and its importance in this particular will increase more as the continent is developed under Eupropan supervision. Its situation at present is similar to that now occupied by Skam in the Indo-China territory in the Eastern Hemisphere in which Great Britain and France figure as competitors for spheres of commercial influence. The political neighbors of Liberia are Great Britain and France. The tehistory of the former forms the northwestern and of the latter the southeastern boundary. The northwestern boundary which separates the British colony of Sierra Leone has been settled with some advantage to Liberia—as the Delimitation was recommended by England herself, given to ritory than it had claimed, and which, up to this time, had been regarded as British territory. Since this delimitation, however, the Government railroad of Sierra Leone has extended nearly 220 miles across the colony, now not far from the banks of the Mano River, the northwestern boundary line. Beyond this point lies the virgin soil of Liberia, which is rich in natural products and in agricultural possibilities. Great Britain seems destined to possess it, but cannot attain it, in the face of the report of the commissioner, himself a British subject, and the treaty rights of Liberia. Nevertheless, frequent trouble is reported by England on this northwestern frontier, in which Liberia is made the aggressor, seeking, as it does appear, an occasion for the usual cry that Liberia is unable to exercise police jurisdiction over this portion of her possessions and therefore England, for the protection of her own interests, must occupy the disturbed section. Strange to say, however, no trouble arose in this section before, until Liberia undertook to exercise her treaty rights and to collect the revenue which was her lawful heritage. The Manio River was agreed upon as the northwestern boundary between the British colony of Sierra Leone and Liberia. Liberia had the right to expect that the line would have been drawn in the center of the river as is usual in matters of this kind, in order to give both parties to the agreement the privileges of the stream; but the strong forced the weak to fix the boundary beginning at its western bank at low-water mark, thus depriving Liberia of the use of the river, and making her trade with the interior difficult. The matter was up with him as Foreign Office but as nothing definite has been decided. In the meantime Liberia suffers from a lack of water communication with the hinterland, but the Sierra Leone Railroad must have, not only room for extension, but traffic for the road, and the hinterland of the section offers a fitting solution. The condition on the southeast is even more acute since the boundary line remains unsettled. Notwithstanding the session of the Ivory coast by Liberia to France, the latter still manifests an insatiable appetite for more of Liberia's territory. France evinces an unwillingness to live up to the Treaty of 1892, and is indifferent to every effort made by Liberia to settle the question of a permanent boundary. This delay not only creates unrest and retards the progress of commerce in the hinterland of Liberia, but it puts her to a decided disadvantage in the contest—for France in the meantime continues, in the face of the Treaty, to encircle each upon the disputed territory by the establishment of military postings over extensive influence over the chiefs that seize it. Before this communication reaches President Barchey will be in London to attend a conference in which both England and France will be participants. The Franco-Liberian boundary has reached an acute state so as to render the presence of the Chief Magistrate necessary. What will be done at that conference no one can tell. Liberia is powerless to check either English aggressions on the northwest of French enroachments on the southeast. No power can save her from the designation of these formidable nations, which regard this fettle spot as Abah did Naboth's vineyard, but the United States and the United States owe it to Liberia at least to manifest an interest in the account of the traditional relation between them (no mention), and it would seem from the following extract that she stands committed to such a policy. Secretary Exarts, in his instructions to Minister Hopkins, April 21, 1880, said, "The United States are not averse to having the great Powers know that they publicly recognize the peculiar relation between them and Liberia, and that they are prepared to take every proper step to maintain them. To this end it is not insuperable that you, and Mr Lowell also on his return to his post from Sidney, should be aware of the interest in the movements of both Great Britain and France in the neighborhood of Liberia, without, however, showing any indue anxiety or offensive curiosity in the matter." And again Secretary Blame followed in a similar strain to Minister Smythe "Liberia," although not a colony of the United States, began its independent career as an off-shoot of this country, which hears to it a quasi parental relationship which authorizes the United States to interpose its good offices in any contest between Liberia and a foreign State, and a refusal to give the United States an opportunity to be heard for this purpose would make an unfavorable impression in the minds of the Government and the people of the United States. It is needless to say that any effort on the part of the Government of the United States to keep Liberia in independence unpaired would be received with grateful consideration by the ten millions of Afro-American citizens in this country who are interested in Liberia's future—and for that matter Negroes and humanitarian all over the world with out regard to race or nationality. Dr. Lyon is the accredited diplomatic representative of the United States to Liberia during this critical period of the history of this black republic. His commitment—the affair of his own Government—has been the dean of the Diplomatic and Consular Commissionation to his colleagues and the officials of the Government at Monrovia, Liberia. have been satisfactory not only to the State Department at Washington but to the Liberian authorities and all others concerned. He has had exceptional opportunity to become familiar with the questions that are now most vital to Liberia. He made an official tour of that section of the Republic which is now regarded by France as disputed territory, and made careful study of the boundary in question. Hence I feel quite sure that the Government will willingly supply with all necessary information the subject and is therefore prepared to give the matter intelligent consideration if it concludes to do so. Knowing The Independent's interest in all questions affecting human rights without any regard to race or color, I felt that I could not do better than to present the matter affecting the interests of Liberia to the class of persons who are your constant readers and very largely sympathize with the view you present. Liberia has need of the moral support of the United States, and of good people everywhere to maintain herself against the great odds with which she is forced to contend at this most critical period of her history. Monrovia, Liberia, Africa. MY. POTATO PATCH New Chaplaise T. G. Steward, Retired, Wear Back to the Sell. Last winter I found myself about exhausted nervously, and in general had health. The surgeons diagnosed my case as one of neuroasthenia attended with bronchitis, and recommended an extended sick leave. The final result was that I was ordered to my home at Willerforce to await retirement at the convenience of the government. I came here the last of February, in the midst of very bad weather, and suffering from the grip and the effects of a fever which I had recently passed through. As soon as my strength and the weather would permit, I went to work out of doors, at first able to do but little. But upon advanced I put in about a half-acre of potatoes, beside a variety of other garden stuff, and some field corn. As the spring was cold and backward my potatoes were a long time coming up, and when they got up the ground was so wet that I could not cultivate them for some weeks; but as soon as the ground warmed up and the rows of potatoes began to show across the patch then appeared the bugs also. I attacked the old ones, bucket in hand, and sent millions of them to their long home and the ground, and clipped every leaf upon which I discovered it, and destroyed every egg I found. Still as the season advanced young bugs began to make their appearance upon my vines and their voracious appetites gave me fair warning that the real war was now on. Yielding to the advice of friends I resorted to paris green and used it once; but I saw unmistakable signs of its injurious effects upon my plants, and I returned to my bucket and paddle, thus through the vines. July and August fought these bugs, destroying by the million, at the same time using the hose to encourage the plants. I observed that the vigorous and rapidly growing plants, earliest got out of the way of the parasites; and that these bugs true to the law governing all death-breeding animals, whether they be bacteria or wolves, go for the weakest, under the motto of "devil take the hindmost." They indicate the true method of attack in the garden and all the region of cultivation and hygiene. That the buns kill all the microbes, but you can make the body so strong that microbes will not like it, potato bugs prefer weak vines and seek the tenderest parts of these vines. Meanwhile my prolonged labors under the hot sun, from early morning to late evenings hardened my muscles, steared my nerves, gave me excellent sleep, took off all surplus flesh, and brought me a condition where it was a pleasure to live; and I was ready to throw up my hat for Mayor Pingree and take the stump any time for the potato party I had planted among my potatoes, some field pumpkins, and as the season had ended I decided to set out cabbage plants between the rows putting out about twelve hundred of these. Hence, "read between the lines" my potato patch is a cabbage patch in honor of Mrs Wiggins; with enough pumpkins scattered over it to give it the tinge of yellow journalism. A stranger calling one day during my a day ruffled every feather on the back of the female portion of my household, saying that my field of labor and love looked like a "Dutch garden" The idea, but cabbage have their face; and more mature persistent than the meek booking, pale yellow butterfly. How faithful all the sunny hours I have evidence to show, utterly overthrowing the gildable idea of the gay and idle butterfly. We very properly sing. How doth the busy butterfly, Purge me a cabbage head. From metting when you open your eye. Until you go to bed. And then my own chickens, every one of which is a scientist to the man who born them, they go, by their methods, vivisection minuted many plants beyond recover all the incompleteness of them, the cow philosophized over many heads, unfolding and revealing them in her mouth and mind, while the impertinent calf just made tennis balls of them - and all this for the improvement of morals by developing that charm which courdult all things and is kind However, the struggle is over as far as the potatoes are concerned, and be side what we have eaten litherer. I have taken from my potato potato, tity three bushels of fine tubers with selection timer than any exhibited in the county fair here, my pumpkins and cabbage are yet to be heard from. The potatoes, pumpkins and cabbage, although altogether making an important crop, are not means of all that potato patch. The pleasure obtained in identifying myself directly with nature and helping God feed mankind; the renewal of health with activity, the satisfaction in observing the eternal truthfulness of God seen in the returns coming from the furrows, furnish a crop not to be measured by tons or bushels or valued by dollars and cents. FACTS ABOUT WALL STREET Robert W. Taylor tells How Securities are Beautiful and Adds There are so many curious ideas with regard to "Wall street" that the writer, as a prelude to the articles on finance which will appear from time to time in the columns of this paper, thinks it fitting to state one or two elementary facts about Wall street. The vulgar opinion seems to be that Wall street is nothing more than a place where "injurers" hash schemes to rob "outsiders" and, after robbing them, these same "injurers" fight among themselves for the spoils. No opinion could be wider of the mark. While it is true that there are many men in Wall street who should be safely confined within stone walls, yet, it is doubtful if there can be found elsewhere to the square foot so many men whose "word is their bond." Every head or call over a telephone transactions pass between them in Wall street involving millions and millions of dollars. In the days of sailing vessels, 'toll roads, and stage coaches, an enterprise, as a rule, was of a local nature and was conducted by an individual, a partnership or a joint stock company. With the advent of the ocean liner, the railroad, the telegraph and the telephone, the necessity arose for enterprises which could be established only through the united funds of many individuals, without regard to their places of residence. To illustrate: It was an easy matter for a single individual to operate a stage-coach line, but not so easy for a single individual to finance a railroad, which in many cases, requires hundreds of millions of dollars. This great expansion of industry gave rise to corporations and to corporation securities. Wall street is the national market for such securities. It is the place where stocks and bonds, representing enterprises in every part of the world, are bought and sold. The leading institution in Wall street where these stocks and bonds are bought and sold is the New York Stock Exchange. The stocks and bonds representing those corporations whose affairs have been rigidly investigated and favorably passed upon by the Exchange are known as "listed" securities. The stocks and bonds representing those corporations whose affairs have not been so rigidly investigated, though favorably passed upon by the Exchange, are known as "unlisted" securities. The most famous "unlisted" security bought and sold on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange is, perhaps, Amalgamated Copper. Other institutions in Wall street where securities are bought and sold are the Consolidated Stock Exchange, the Produce Exchange, and the Curb. The most famous security traded in on the Curb is Standard Oil. Several of the gilt-embed securities now bought and sold on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange were at first traded in on the Curb. The men who buy and sell securities on these exchanges, charging a small commission fee for their services, are called brokers. Suppose that there was no such place as Wall street, with its banking institutions, exchanges, brokers, etc. What? It would mean that hundreds of corporation organized to do a certain thing would have to raise money by appointing agents to pledge their stock from town to town from door to door. But after these corporations had raised the money required to carry on their business, what about stockholders who wished later to sell their stock? These stockholders would have to go around looking for some one but their stock, just as the agents for the corporations went around to sell it. With such clumsy methods of financializing this country could never have attained the commending commercial pre-eminence that it has attained; for it would require by that method at least ten years to finance a corporation that is now financed in ten weeks. And the would-be million company would not be financed at all. When one reflects that more than two hundred different corporation securities are traded in on the floor of the New York Exchange between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. in every business day of the year, that frequently a million shares are bought and sold daily by brokers for their customers stretching from Manato California, and that the highest price paid these brokers for their services is it to buy that cents per share it is easy to appreciate because the saving of time money and energy that the Wall street method of buying and selling securities offers. As a closing word it may be worth while to point out that Wall street touches most intimately the life of every man, woman, and child in this country. Father's Shoes? They were made from leather controlled by Wall street. Mother's apron? It was made from cloth controlled by Wall street. Baby's tattle? It was manufactured in a plant controlled by Wall street. In most of the food we eat, the clothing, the accessories, and the luxuries that we owe, are in a large measure controlled by Wall street. Since Wall street touches four lives at a man's points, the writer will give in the next article definitions of words and phrases most frequently used in Wall street terminology. ROBERT W TAYLOR Providence Votes Make Demands. Providence, Sept. 19, Tired of being fed on promises, and resolved to voice a demand for performance, more than 100 colored citizens of Providence held a meeting last evening in a hall at Market Square, for the purpose of the discussion of the position and posi- tion of the Negro, with regard to Rhode Island politics, in particular. After considerable discussion and several speeches, the meeting passed resolu- tions denouncing President Riesson and Banning Senator Foraker, whom informed for President. A committee consisting of R. E. Johnson, F. L. Tolliver, R. H. I. Guines, F. R. Purnell, W. H. Huggins, J. L. Mitchell and Rev J. L. Davis was appointed to draw up resolutions expressing the committee of the assembly, and a minute of seventeen was appointed to wait on the Republican City Committee and the Democratic party to see if they would accede to the demands of the colo- red voters. Politicians and People Have Acted Their Parts REPUBLICANS WHIPPED First Important Political Steps of the Expectant Forty-sixth State Completed—President to Major Matter of Statehood to Congress. LANGSTON, Sept. 30. "The play is done. The curtain drops" on the first important political drama of the expectant forty-sixth State of the Union. Whether it is only an intermission during which the scene is being shifted and new actors are learning their parts is the one remaining guess left from the web of uncertainties which for sixty days have sorely perplexed the political winescene and good citizens generally in these parts: The politicians and the people have acted their parts according to their several gifts and roles, and now await the denouement if which President Roosevelt is to be the protagonist and the National Capital the arena. In the meantime an indescribable felling of relief from the strain induced by the sense of responsibility, which the crisis placed upon them and the conflict of hope and doubt, which, according to their sentiments, encouraged or dispirited, has come over the people and even before the will of the majority has been reduced to definite and certain figures, they have apparently forgotten the contest and are again busy with their crops. Such is the manner of the succession of government in the United States. Only, in this case, there is a persistent and annoying doubt as to whether there is going to be any succession. Although a week has elapsed since the election, the two political headquarters are open awaiting "official" returns, one them with the grim hope that someone and in some way the figures will be the popular conviction a jolt by moving that two and two do not always make four. But the story is short and simple to tell: The Democrats have beaten the Republicans in the running like a scared wolf. They have captured every state office, most of the counties and four of the five Congressmen by majorities ranging from 100 to 25,000. Out of the seventy-five counties of the two territories, the Republicans have probably carried ten, as well as all of the cities. Both parties made pre-election claims based upon their hopes, their supported knowledge of conditions and their estimate of the effectiveness of the work each had done in the way of winning the people, and the result proves that the Democrats had the real hunch. The Republicans were simply not in the running, and mainly because they tried to drive tandem on a single-is-se course. The Democrats made the adoption of the constitution the main issue and its provisions their platform. The Republicans were against the constitution one day, for it the next, and for the offices every day, and when you realize that the offices were contingent upon the adoption of the constitution, the spectacle they presented was pathically ludicrous, even though they were greatly concerned about the integrity of the State and the safety of the people. Under present conditions the twin territories are overwhelmingly Democratic, and the only change the Republicans had of winning he distinguished statesman had passed over the border of the before his advice was ignored and then. The only effect his visit had divide the council of the Republic and to lay the ground of hope that Democrats win at the polls, they be defeated in another manner at a later time. The most impressive thing out the aftermath of the campaign is sudden claminess and drop in temperature of the Republican newspapers whose loud confidence a week ago was so ardently blazoned in crimson headlines. Except in respect to counties that have gone Republican, they have lost all connection with the news-gathering business and are burdened of information. This fact alone, together with certain Delphine insinuations which they cautiously print, tends to excite the suspicion that there may be some huge surprise in store. The leaders of the two camps who made the gubernatorial race are both men who have made a record, and they are the embodiment of the pluck and overseverance which prompts men to leave. Sie allurements of a settled state of society for the purpose of growing up with a new country, or rather of boldering their time until the new country grows up to them. Governor Frantz, before he was appointed chief executive of this territory, served in the Spanish-American War as a member of the regiment of Rough Riders. His services must have been conspicuous since he attracted the attention of Colonel Roosevelt, as later his appointment as Governor shows Young, capable, full of the zeal of the New West, his successful administration of the affairs of the territory and his ardent support of the policies of President Roosevelt, especially of his public land programming, have made him quite popular with the people, as the splendid vote which he polled proves. At the same time the vote of his opponent shows clearly that he was under present conditions the leader of a forlorn hope Governor-elect Haskell is a veteran politician, having mastered the science upon 24, favorable soil of Ohio, where soiling of American's great politicians Blood, Pet trained. He was the soul and view-preside the convention which drafted King's capitulation and is a clever and caustic engineer. In spite of the fact Zelzerman's joining of Indian Territory to America made victory for the Democracy a foregone certainty. Mr. Haskell compelled to put up a tremendous Judd both on the account of the popularity of Governor Frantz and on account of the attacks made upon himself perronally. The Negroes, every man of them, and against the constitution, and the bulk of them voted the Republican act. To them the constitution is the embodiment of the spirit of jincrowism whose growing rifeness is engendering ill feeling and bad blood in a manner that portends a vanishing peace. They are Republicans, not so much from faith as from necessity not more stern than sinister. There is no gainsaying the fact that to-day the Negro is the most dissatisfied and befuddled factor in the political equation in the United States. On the other hand, he is beginning to consult his own interest and to realize his own powers and duties more than he has ever done in the brief period of his freedom. Prohibition carried easily and magnificently. The towns as a rule voted against it; the farmers voted almost solidly in favor of it. The majority for it will be nearer 30,000 than 25,000. There is much speculation as to which the outcome of prohibition will be. Many who magnify the frequent failures of the Kansas law to totally prohibit, predict that the popularity of the "little brown jug" will grow so rapidly as to render the conditions worse than during the high license regime. This is hardly possible. However, the success of prohibition is the one good result of the contest. The air here is full of rumors and speculations as to the fate of the constitution and statehood, statehood being, of course, the apple of the eye. An enumeration of the many reasons that are being given to show that it will be turned down or upheld is not possible. Certainly both sides are arming for the conflict, and a battle royal may be expected. The impression is growing that the President will refer the matter to Congress for settlement for the reason that the power to admit new States is vested in that body and not in the Executive. In such an event, the most searching investigation is likely to follow which may be prolonged until after the next presidential election. ANNUAL HARVEST HOME FEAST Mrs. M. C. Lawton Writes Interestingly of Beren Church and Other Brooklyn News. The annual harvest home feast of the Beren Baptist church, Bergen street, near Rochester avenue, Brooklyn, of which the Rev. J.

White Gloves Were In Order. To the Editor of THE NEW YORK AGE: "While perusing THE AGE of last week, my attention was turned to a certain paragraph marked "St. Phillip's Guild Picnic." As one of the vast number of those who attended the dance, allow me to correct the writer when he said "that there was one young gentleman who sported white gloves, alluding how unnecessary it was to do so. The young gentleman was one who took particular notice of the title "St. Phillip's Guild Festival, etc." and therefore came properly dressed for the occasion. If the writer would refer to Webster's Unabridged Dictionary or Funk and Wagnall's latest edition, he would see that such functions as festivals require evening dress, and especially must evening dress he worn when the ladies don princess chiffon coats and the like, as you mentioned they wore ort the occasion. Therefore the young gentleman that sported the white gloves was very much in the right, and at the same time thinking of not spoiling the "beautiful gowns."

KV. €emne of Rincon Excellence and Magnitude of Commercial Life MEMPHIS, Teen., Sept. 14—Of all the varied and multilingual Afro-American enterprises in the city of Memphis, there are some that stand out as the most promising of the enterprises on record in our racial growth, and that serve as record-breakers in the animals of Afro-American accomplishments. By reason of its geographical situation, Memphis occupies the position of the dominant city of three States, controlling largely the financial and business patronage of the States of Arkansas Louisiana and Mississippi. It is gratifying to note that the Afro-Americans of the city have kept apace with its remarkable growth, and take part in due proportion, in all the good things that the city's peculiar position rightfully bring unto it. Whatever may be said to the contrary, Memphis stands pre-eminently in the lead when it comes to Afro-Americans engaged actively and with wonderful success in the various professional and commercial enterprises. This does not say that there is not room for improvement; this does not mean in the matter that some of the various improvements some of the substantial improvement might not be seen, for the majority of all the men with whom I talked said without reservation and with no amenable amount of hesitancy that the greatest thing they have to face and the one thing that gives them the most concern is the utter indifference to their success evinced by the Negro higher up. And, too, here as elsewhere, the Afro-American enterprise might have the highest indifference of the actual needs and diverse wants of their patrons, saying more plainly, not to expect patronage from Afro-Americans, simply because it is an enterprise controlled and managed by race men. As it is, however, amid without entering too largely into a discussion of the merits or demersals of any particular business in this respect, I wish herewith present some facts with reference to the most noteworthy of these establishments. The best example of what the young Afro-American can do is to be found right here in the business enterprises owned and controlled by the Gillis Brothers, three young men, all of them children of the second generation, the eldest not yet thirty years of age. The enterprises owned and controlled by them represent a combined capital of $20,000. What they have done and how they have done it read like a romance and sets before them, like Gillis both with brains and freight car variety a startling fact, hitherto unknown to them, namely, that there is something for the young Afro-American with brains, push and determination to do. As little as one might think of it, it is somewhat out of the ordinary for a man or set of men of any race to operate any business in such a manner as to have it represent in seven years an investment of $20,000, when to use a quotation from Mr. Cornelius Gillis, that business was begun with a "wheelbarrow full" of groceries. That is what the Gillis boys have done with the "bitioner" the "paper reader" papers read at a session of the National Negro Business League can produce a more striking example of the ability of young men to succeed in spite of discouragements. The magnitude of the business can be understood fully by a glance at the following figures, representing the actual outlay of money last year in covering the necessary expenses of the Gillis Brothers' establishment. Rent of the Gillis Brothers' Hotel, $1,500; rent of the two stores, $1,200; paid to employees, $4,200; incidental including gas, fuel, etc. $300; sales $1,500. They operate at 341 Baile street a large wholesale and retail grocery store, a large retail grocery store at 339 Mississippi avenue, and on Beale street, at the stand occupied so long by Smith's cafe, they now own and operate the best, neatest and most nicely appointed hotel in the South for the accommodation of Afro-Americans. I am without competent advice in making this statement, for men who have to do any amount of traveling in the South recognize at once that the most freewill business is that they but few places where one can get a decent bed in which to sleep with privacy and comfort or a clean, digestible meal of victuals. The maintenance of this polite and comfortable hostelry is a blessing to the traveling connection. It contains twenty light, comfortable, airy, neatly furnished rooms, is equipped with ample bathrooms, barber shop, buffet, billiard parlor and ladies' cafe, and is a delight to the sojourner. There are business enterprises among our people that might be considered larger, for example, either of the church publishing houses, and I am free to confess that they might represent an outlay of more money, and particularly one of them might employ more young men and women. But these concerns have behind them the entire laity of their respective churches, ranging from a membership of about 800,000 to a membership of more than one and a half members of more. Does it not appear to the reader that in the management and maintenance of these worthy enterprises on the part of three young men, men of the second generation, a better example of the ability of the young Afro-American to fight, to conquer, to win in spite of obstacles, and to eliminate from the language of successful business endeavor the word "fall" has never been more vividly demonstrated? There are three of these young men. C. Gillis, Jr, the eldest, 29 years of age; A. J. Gillis, 24, and C. A. Gillis, 20. Their mother is as proud of them as she can be and to their credit they main-tenance her life as a case as befits such a mother as she has undoubtedly been to them. Besides their interests herein mentioned the firm of Gillis Brothers is among the largest stockholders in the Solvent Savings Bank, and do all of their banking there. C. Gillin Jr., is at present one of the directors, having previously served on the executive board. A. J. Gillis was a director the first year of the existence of the bank. Another feature of the business life of the Afro-American in Memphis is the excellence and magnitude of some of the establishments one is used to seeing in every community. This applies particularly to the two drug establishments, one owned by George R. Jackson and the other, the Garner Drug Company. The Garner drug company store is the African-American business house on Main street, and is situated right midway between the Bijou and Hopkins theatres. The George R. Jackson store is located down on Bone street, and it might be considered the dividing line between the establishments owned on the one hand by the sons of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob and on the other hand by the sons of Ham. I know of no establishment fitted more nicely than these two drug stores. Mr. Jackson employs two registered pharmacists and two other clerks, and the Garnes establishment uses an equally competent force. I stood in Mr. Garnes' store one evening recently and saw the pharmacist filling the last prescription for that day, which represented a business of more than a hundred prescriptions that day alone. When questioned about the business, I was told that they averaged 75 prescriptions a day. Both of these stores are doing well. The patronage is normal, but it does go without saying that if our people in this great Southern center were as clannish as other races are, these stores and as many others would have more than they could do. The Jackson store, including fixtures, has a stock worth at least $3,000, and according to sternness, the average is about $10,000. Mr. Jackson is from the University of Michigan. The Garnes store has a five thousand dollar stock. One cannot help but manifest considerable surprise on entering the shoe store owned by Rev. H. H. Grant on Beale street. Indeed, if he did not have in neat gold letters on the large plate glass window, "Colored Shoe Store," the passer-by would never think of it as an establishment owned by Afro-Americans. It is about the only store of its kind in Tennessee, Mississippi or Arkansas, and enjoys a good patronage from the middle classes. Mr. Grant stated to me that the teachers and other professional people rarely ever made a purchase from him. The store looks like a parlor. It is so very neat and cleanly kept that the average passer-by of the other race comes in and makes a purchase before he is aware he is in an Afro-American establishment. The establishment has been in operation a little over a year and the stock of goods, with a conservative estimate, represents the outlay of about $10,000. There are so many other creditable establishments among the Afro-Americans in Memphis that it would be an almost impossible task to enumerate them all within the limits of one short article. Representing the highest achievement of the Afro-American in financial matters, the Solvent Savings Bank is doing business in the region as one of the safest institutions of its kind in the South. There are Scott and Wilkeron, the undertakers; M. L. Clay, the wholesale and retail whiskey dealer, and other establishments, many of them reaching the highest pinnacle of success. Among the professional men, especially the physicians, I presume Dr. C. A. Terrell stands head and shoulders above them all. This is not an idle statement. His success as a surgeon in the management of the Terrell-Patterson Inheriry is so marked and has gained for him such a remarkable reputation that he is well known and Bovd in the front rank of the medical profession. He holds that fellowship and co-operation are essential to success in his profession, and demonstrates it in the association of Dr. Patterson in his wonderful work at Memphis, He, associated with Dr. M. V. Lynk and other physicians of Memphis, make up the faculty of the Medical Department of West Tennessee University, which institution has lately been removed to Memphis from Jackson, Tennessee. The Terrell-Patterson Inheriry is comfortable equipped with ward room sufficient for the needs of a large light and well appointed operating room, and a suite of four rooms for office purposes. Dr. Terrell's practice is lucrative, and he lives in one of the best homes in Memphis. Besides his residence he owns other valuable property. Mr. R. C. Handy, the musician, is well known the country over. Since being in Memphis his extraordinary accomplishments have been brought out to an extent not dreamed of even by his best friends, when Mr. A. J. Zellner was a waiting for him. The loocher of Beloochistan, Mr. Handy's orchestration of the hulablas, "Girl O'Mine," and "Anv Old Way Will Do," were pronounced by Mr. Zellner as the most satisfactory numbers in the whole oper. The overture, which was written by a white man for the first production, was afterwards gone over by Mr. Handy and corrected before the opera was copyrighted. Mr. Handy now has hand the tremendous task of uniting the four voices of the opera, the effort to have one mammoth, rock musical organization in the South, and he will succeed. One peculiar phase of the musical situation in Memphis comes out of the fact that the white musicians here, as elsewhere, har the Afro-Americanians from their organizations. The result brings them into keen and unfair competition, although a certain class of the custom prefers the black musicians to the white ones. For private entertainments and balls the Afro-American musicians are always employed, while on account of the unions the whites get the greater part of the remaining patronage. Mr. Handy is well known, having been instructor of music at Prof. Councill's school at Normal, Ala., and band master of Maharras's Minstrels. Together with Mr. H. H. Pace, now at Lincoln Institute, Mr. Handy has composed a great deal of high class productions, many of which are now on the market. Besides these celebrities, there are a number of young men making good in Memphis. Of this class none stand higher in the public esteem than Mr. C. W. Banton, who, anxious to travel the patis untrud by numerous other men of his race, went into the insurance and real estate sold and is having remarkable success. Indeed, so successful has he thus he has decided to take unto himself a better half and from all indications Mr. Banton and Miss Amy Willingham, of Uniontown, Alabama, will soon "jump over the broomstick." I am particular in mentioning these apparently trivial matters, for I have a great deal of pride in Mr. Banton's success. Mr. Banton, as well as Dr. J. L. Deloney and I were chasers at the A. and M. College of Alabama some years ago. Dr. Julien L. Deloney, a graduate from formal and the McHarry College, is doing such handsome successes over years in working up a large and iterative practice, and is freely admitted to the council of his elder brothers in the profession in Shelby county.

Frankly, I am unequal to the task. Enough has been said, however, to convince one that although conditions here are unearnable at times, and the proscription unreasonable in many quarters, and yet like a kid's life, the better element of the people is the more diverse current, and succeed in spite of terrible conditions under which they live. Howard D. Stearra. CARPENTERS' LOCAL UNION New York Carpenter picture Charger After Many Debris from Ethelred Council. The efforts of the Committee for Improving the Industrial Condition of Negroes in New York to have the colored carpenters of the city placed on an equality with all others, have been crowned with success, and the carpenters are immensely pleased at the outcome, as shown in the meeting held at the ball in 41st street on Thursday night last. At the suggestion of the chairman, Dr. William Jay Schieffelin, the Committee on Craftsmen, headed by Mr. William Franklin Brush, aided by that most strenuous labor leader, James L. Wallace, possibly the foremost colored leader of labor in the city, began a movement last April which has at last been crowned with success, designed to help jih-jih-colored carpenters found here by that committee, on an equal footing with other carpenters. Hitherto but few colored men have been able to join the locals of the Carpenters Union, and these few have not been especially pleased with their situation, even after their admission. Several meetings were held beginning last April, at which the whole matter was threshed out and a conclusion arrived at in August last, that their best interest would be served in having a "local" of their own. To get this much though seemed and really was a huge undertaking, involving time, money, expense and suspense. Nevertheless, a committee was appointed by the colorado State University of M. E. Allen and T. E. Knight, president and recording secretary respectively, together with Messrs. Wallace and Scotton, of the General Committee, to carry the matter through if possible. The written appeal of the carpenters to the District Council to be granted a charter was courteously received, and a delegation sent to the temporary "local" formed by the colored men at the hall of the Y. C. College of Arts. When seemed promising at their visit was soon, however, to prove disappointing when word was received of the denial of their application. The matter was not allowed to rest there, however, for it was resolved to send the committee before the executive board of the District Council of Carpenters at 142 East 59th street. The matter was carried before that committee and by them left undecided. The committee from the colored carpenters was invited to plead their cause before the full assembly of the Council on the 19th inst. where Messrs. Wallace, Allen, Knight and Scottron appeared and argued their case before a body of men that seemed to be in sympathy with the committee of the Council for a opportunity. Nevertheless, that body referred the matter back to the various "locals" in the district of New York, which, as the letter from the secretary-treasurer, Mr. D. F. Featherston, shows, acted favorably upon the application. Thus for the first time in the history of New York city, granting to colored men, with the possible exception of the pavers and rammersmen, of which Mr. J. L. Wallace is the head, a "local" of their own. There was great rejoicing among the carpenters, and expressions of satisfaction on the part of members of Dr. Schieffelin's committee at the outcome which many seem to think augurs for "their efforts to be made in the future to place colored men of other trades in a like situation.

Similar work is being done in Savannah, Augusta, Macon and other large cities. In this way we hope to roll up a large vote against the unholy act of disfranchisement. The masses of our people are taking more interest in paying their taxes and registering than the so-called upper or educated class. I am still sorry to report that even Dr. Dullois, who has recently been holding a meeting in Boston in connection with 'L. M. Hershaw, for the purpose of defending the franchise of the Afro-American has not himself yet paid his poll tax or registered. The same is true of Hershaw. Neither of these two leaders in the direction of voting is prepared to vote against the disfranchising act. Neither Dr. Dullois nor Mr. Hershaw has paid their poll tax, neither has either one registered. It seems that these two gentlemen get a great deal of satisfaction out of telling other people what to do at long range, but do not set the Greenberg's Ladies' Hair Dressing Parlore MANUFACTURER OF HUMAN HAIR GOODS Afro-American hair Goods a Specialty All kinds of Wigs, Front Place and Brittleen in Stock, and Made to Oversee 589 Eighth Avenue Aug. 8-1yr NEAR 50TH STREET MACY RE Hair Remover and Bandrush Oure FROM IN CENTR.
