Remarkable Season in Chicago for Big Religious Gatherings—Illinois Conference of the A. M. E. Church.
CHICAGO, October 2.—This has been a remarkable season in Chicago for big religious gatherings. In my last letter to The Act a full account was given of the annual Iowa Conference, embracing what is known as the Fourth Episcopal District of the A. M. E. church. Before this conference had closed the Zion Methodists of the Northwest assembled for their annual conference in the fine new church known as the Walters chapel. Secarly地 had the benefaction been pronounced upon the Zion gathering when they began the third conference called the Illinois Conference of the A. M. E. church. Not in twenty-five years have so many prominent church officials met in Chicago for annual meetings. It reminded us of the great Parliament of Religions, held in Chicago during the World's Columbian Exposition. Bishops Clinton and Caldwell of the Zion church; Dr. Stinson, of Morris Brown College; Hon. William Wallace, of The Payne Chapel; Dr. Honouston, of the Payne Chapel; Seminary, Wilberforce, and many other prominent churchmen were present in the last-mentioned conferences.
The Illinois Conference embraces the whole of the State of Illinois, with the exception of a half dozen churches lodistricts of African Methodism has been There are nearly ten thousand members of this conference. From this it may be seen how important must be the influence of this great church in the State of Lincoln and Lovejoy. Like the Iowa Conference the personnel of the conference is of a higher order than it is some twenty ago. The public demand for a higher grade of men in the pulpit is being heeded. A community of self-respecting people will no longer tolerate an illigate and immoral preacher.
The drastic methods of the conference in dealing with an erring preacher brought out a hearty amen from the pews, especially from the sisters. Dr. Stinson, Dr. D. P. Roberts and Stewart made an effort to manify and many of the unslaved ministry as to offer no hiding places for the minister who would attempt to shirk the responsibilities of a husband and father. The A. M. E. preacher, if he needs the most important lessons' of this conference, will no longer plead a separation of the spirit and the flesh in his heart there were immortal hopes for hope that the term 'Minister of Christ' will hereafter have a newer meaning and a diviner edil.
Every one, both in and out of the church, concedes that, Bishop Shaffer's influence over these two great Western districts of African Methodists has been most salutary. He stands for every-day respectability, as well as intellectual equipment in the pulpit. He is in himself a fine and effective example to his ministers. In every possible way the assembled preachers showed their appreciation of his fairness, token of their appreciation presented him with a magnificent library chair and a desk. Dr. A. J. Carey was the leading spirit of the Illinois Conference among the ministers, and easily triumphed over all competitors as head of the delegation to the Norfolk quadrenital.

An interesting condition of things exists in our schools with reference to the mixture of races. Since colored people began to buy extensively in the choice resident districts of the city their children have become quite numerous in school districts where a few years ago a colored child was seldom, if ever, seen. The coming in of these colored pupils among the hitherto exclusive aristocrats and starts afresh the mutterings about the needs for colored schools; etc. From present conditions it will be somewhat difficult to know where to draw the line, if line must be drawn. It seems that our white fellow-citizens are no longer to have the monopoly of drawing race lines. For example, the Keith school, located in that part of the city where a large number of colored white children In fact, Keith is almost a colored school, and the parents of the few white children are continually clamoring for transfers for their sons and daughters to schools as far remote as possible from the "Black Belt."
Color prejudice, however, is not the only reason given by white parents who ask for these transfers. The fact of the matter is that the little Africans in this school recognize with true democratic instinct that they are in the majority, and feeling their strength, they are willing to deal with the more or less faces. In various "doubles" more or less emphatic, they have served notice on their white schoolmates that they are not wanted and that the sooner they get out the better. This, of course, is very mean, but interesting and probably very human. The little black fellows against whose parents the color and race lines have been drawn so cruelly for so many years seem to be quite savage in their eagerness to return the compliment by drawing the color line themselves. The color can be by themselves and the color children seem to be anxious to hasten their departure. There is still further evidence that the colored children know how to draw the color line. What is known as the Jones school was at one time almost a colored school; but the character of the neigh-
THE NEW YORK AGE.
borhood has changed to such an extent during the part ten years that comparatively few colored families are now living in that school district. The houses and apartments formerly occupied by colored people have been abandoned for homes in better districts and the Italian们 have swarmed into these abandoned children left in this district and the parents of these colored children not wishing them to associate with "Digoges" are clamoring for transfers for their children. In other words, what the white parents are demanding in one neighborhood with reference to their children, in another the colored parents are demanding for theirs. It looks as if human beings are side of the human line we may live. The problem is almost too much for the Board of ducation to solve.
In this connection another thing is noticeable, as evidence that some of our people do not suffer so much from race discrimination as they pretend. Living here in this free city amidst public schools, universities and colleges, freely open to all kinds and conditions of people, there are intelligent and well-to-do students, teachers and staff. South to be educated in separate schools! Why? The Lord only knows. If these very parents were compelled to send their children to separate schools in this city there would be one continual indignation meeting from January to January. Such is the perversity of some kinds of human nature. The fact of the matter is that the racial distance is becoming stronger in the African-American feeling bound to lead to some inconsistencies. Many of us hate to have the color or the lines drawn against us, but are notverse to drawing it ourselves:
OPENING OF HOWARD UNIVERSITY.
Forty-first Semester Begin with Unusually Large Attendance—Changes in Faculty.
Wassimussey, Oct. 5—Howard University entered upon its forty-first session on the gath of September, with the opening of the academic departments. The professional schools began their work Oct. 1. The attendance is unusually large, especially in the college grades, thus strengthening the position of Howard as a center for the higher education and emphasizing the traditions of Howard for which President Thirkield strongly stands.
The dormitories are overcrowded and a large number of students in approved boarding houses in the neighborhood. Miner Hall, the home for young ladies, is overtaxed, although a large addition has been made by opening the end of the building heretofore always occupied by a professor. Some months ago, Dean Moore, of his own motion, proposed to the Board of Trustees to turn over these commissions quarters in order that there might be a suitable assembly hall, music rooms and additional dormitories for the young women and girls, as well as aesthetic and art for the work and they have got a full measure of the "Howard spirit" which stands for the highest ideals of scholarship and character.
Professor William P. Hay goes to the chair of Natural Sciences and the Directorship of Sciences in the schools of the city, at a large increase in salary. Miss Anita Anderson retires from the Commercial Department to become the wife of Professor W. L. Smith, of the M Street High School

WASHINGTON SCHOOLS
Agitation Over Speech of Dr. Chancellor
ANTI-NEGRO COVENANT
Legality of a Dead to Realty Holdings to Be Tested by an Interesting Law Suit, Which Will Stand as a Procedent.
WASHINGTON, D.C. Oct. 8.—The public school situation comes in for another airing this week, after a brief respite. The central figure of the spotlight is Dr. W. E. Chancellor, superintendent of the general school system of the city. In an address to the Columbia Heights Citizens' Association, he is alleged to have said the Negro schools are a dead-weight to the educational system here and a hindrance to the progress of the whites, because of the peculiar social problems presented, by the immense Negro population in the District. The inference was drawn that many benefits that might be extended to the whites are withheld because of the law requiring the bestowal of the same benefits upon the blacks.
Naturally, such a bald-faced misstatement of the true conditions existing here stirred the indignation of the colored people to a white heat, and within two hours after the morning papers had been circulated a movement had crystallized among the friends of Negro citizens to immediate retirement of Dr. Chancellor, a unit person to be superintendent of the schools in which the well-being of the children of 100,000 Negro citizens had to be considered." The fact that some years ago District Commissioner John B. Wight was forced out of office on account of similar utterances, relative to the Negroes of this city, gave virility to the suggestion that "ouster" proceeded in inaugurated at once against the alleged superintendent Dr. Chancellor, however, he was correctly reported in the morning papers, and comes forward with the following explanation:
"I did not say the race problem hindered the development of the school system in this city; nor did I say anything uncomplimentary about the colored schools. What I said was that when I come to consider a proposed line of action for the government of the schools, I have to stop and remember that I am dealing with two separate school systems in one. What is a good thing for one is not always a good thing for both; we must believe anybody can gain say that. The schools are just as much a hindrance to progress as an obstacle for that matter; but I do not regard either branch as a hindrance to progress. Instead, the rivalry ought to be an aid to progress. The report that I am anti-Negro is an inference not warranted by anything said in my address. "On the contrary," continued Dr. Chancellor, "I am pro-Negro, and always have been. You know I married into the Beecher family—and that means something. I am of the extreme type on the race question. I try to be fair—just as fair to the colored people as to the white people. We are trying to maintain the same ideas in our schools for both colored and white schools and we are requiring that both branches live in the same ideas. But, of course, the system is compromised by the double idea. It is not a question of one race or the other as a hindrance to progress."
Dr. Chancellor is entitled to a publication of his position, but out of the agitation has come a renewal of the agitation for a complete divorce of the white and colored school management, with a Negro Board of Education, a Negro superintendent and heads of departments, with full power to regulate the colored schools and to appoint teachers and officers. Congress may be appalled by take action looking toward the consumption of this plan. The program finds little favor at the heads of the conservative clergy and there is a feeling that since Dr. Chancellor has disavowed all anti-Negro intentions in his alleged remarks, the matter might best be dropped. Hon John C. Daneen, Recorder of Deeds, has returned from an enjoyable trip to Springfield, Ill., where he was the orator of the day at the enamination celebration in which Governor Charles S. Deneen, his Secretary of State, and other distinguished officials were participants. The celebration took place at White City Park, with other and at both places the White City Theatre, and at both places the Daneen spoke and acquitted himself with credit to himself and the race. On his home Mr. Daneen stopped at Indianapolis, the urgent request of the leading citizens of the Hoosier Capital, and was the guest of honor at a number of social functions.
Bishop S. D. Ferguson, before leaving Richmond to attend the triennial general convention of the Episcopal church, stated that he would take no part in the discussion of the proposed separation of the races within the church body. His mission was to report the condition of his work in Western Africa, and to make suggestions touching its improvement and enlargement. As to the feasibility of the missioned problem of Negro bishops for Negro congregations, he declined to express an opinion. He denied, however, the rumor that he was a part of a plan to compromise the difficulty by accepting a transfer to this country, and thus permit the postponement of the main issue until the next general convention, three years hence.

MARTLAND LYNCHE MOS
Man Kicked in Bath by Yob Which
Broke Open the door.
CUMMERLAND, Md., Oct. 6.—This city has been greatly excited over the first lynching in its history, William Barn, aged twenty-two, ceylon, charged with the murder of Policeman August Baker, one of the veterans of the Force, was taken by a mosh earl this morning, stone thrown at the window, kicked to death on the cobble street in the earl Court House. The mob used a battering ram to break open the door, and the other Negro occupants of the jail directed the citizens to burns' cell.
After the mob had killed the Negro they fired at close range at least twenty shots into his head and breast. Five or six hundred people looked on.
Burns shet Policeman Baker while resisting arrest last Thursday night. The mob assembled in front of the jail in bright light giving up Sheriff Hendley fused its gun. The mob used a telephone pole for a battering ram.
The Rev. William Cleveland Hicks, rector of Emmanuel Episcopal church, the leading Episcopal congregation of Western Maryland, lives within a stone throw of the scene of the lynching. He pleaded with the mob to disperse, as they attempting to break into the jail. They listened to his exhortation from the jail steps for a moment and in the cobblestone, the Rev. Mr. Hicks offered a prayer. Some of the mob wanted to burn him, but the minister asked them not to do so, and they respected his wishes.
Chief Judge A. Hunter Boyd, who is a member of the Court of Appeals, arrived at the scene after the work of the mob had been finished, and asked the law-abiding men in the crowd to disperse. Some of the men were not masked; others were. The lynching was bitterly denounced in the pulpits to-day. The Rev. Mr. Hicks narrowly escaped assault at the hands of the mob, some of the members of which made a demonstration against him last night. The grand jury will take up the case tomorrow. Mr. Hicks broke the gas pipes in the jail, and twenty-six prisoners were nearlyaphysiated before the discovery was made. Several were revived with difficulty.
EVENING INDUSTRIAL SCHOOL.
Session Maker Ampleton Beginning in Brooklyn—Others Note from Across the River.
The Free Evening Industrial School which entailed so much work and anxiety on the part of its promoters during the fact, but from the large registration, points to a most successful term or session. The school in question, which will be taught in the Public School No. 5, Buffalo and Johnson streets, was opened in 1881. It was a public school in noble conditions, Mr. John E. Thorne, teacher of the graduating class of one of the schools in the Bronx, is principal. As soon as it was known that such a school was not open, that the signatures of colored persons were desired in order to effect its establishment, the rumor that it was a colored school not only leasen current but gained such great headway that its program was not only temporarily retarded, but its success was permanently threatened.
Fortunately for the cause, Mr. S. R. Scotton, who knows no such word as fail, and who is noted for his tenacity, the signature of a student in the enterprise, and remained undaunted throughout the entire period of opposition and antigamism.
The work of acquiring the necessary materials was accomplished by an institution a long and艰重 task; one in which patience only could triumph. Associated with Mr. Scotton in the distribution of application cards, circumsacrs and other information was W. Lawton and R. E.
Expectations were fully realized when the school was thrown open last Monday evening and the registration was apparently shown. In view of the cry of indifference being the barrier between the colored man and employment, the establishment of such a school within the school system was an advantage afforded those who await but cannot improve their time because opportunity has shut its doors.
The annual harvest home feast which had its inception in the mind of Rev. J. Leonard Brown, pastor of the Rerum J. Baptist church, closed last Sunday evening after the funeral of Mr. Brown, who has been for twelve years associated with the above armed church, is both a novice and a genius. For a number of years he has not only encouraged his congregation to celebrate the anniversary of his birth, but he has planted the American flag by the side of his church edifice and on that occasion it is hoisted and in recitations, poetry and song the meaning of the day is told to the rising generation. His tournai day of July celebrations are the occasion for the memorial continuing, besides a financial success. Now that political interest has been awakened among the colored men of the country one can get a glimpse of the indifference on the part of the rank and file. The colorado leaders were a bikewarness all along the line. So indifferent have they been all along that the leaders of the Republican party have entertained grave apprehensions concerning the outcome. The colored leaders were a bikewarness all along the line. So indifferent have they been all along that the leaders of the Republican party have entertained grave apprehensions concerning the outcome. The colored leaders were a bikewarness all along the line. So indifferent have they been all along that the leaders of the colored rank and file is worthy of their consideration. So effective were their argument into so convincing their logic that the recent conventions had colored representatives in all of them from the Association in which he has existed in years.
The leaders are bending all of their energies toward bringing out the full registration in order that their vote may be taken at the primaries and when the delegates, the National convention will be elected. Miss Willee Penn, of Atlanta, Ga., and best daughter of I. Garland Penn, auditor of the National Securities Association one of the National secretaries of the Epworth League Society of the M. E. Church, is in the city attending Pratt Institute. Miss Penn is domiciled at 112 Lexington avenue, Y. M. C. A. building.
Association Holds Bicentennial Celebration
Heated Arguments at Session Regarding Acceptance of State Appropriation—Resolutions on Death of Miss Jeanne Adopted.
PHILADELPHIA, October 7.—The school census of Afro-American children, between the ages of 6 and 16 years, just completed by the Bureau of Compulsory Education, shows' that there are 9,201 going to school; of this number there are 4,928 females and 4,263 males. The Seventh and Thirtieth wards have the highest Afro-American school population, there being 698 in the Seventh and 603 in the Thirtieth, the Eighteenth and Thirty-first wards having none.
the bicentennial celebration of the Philadelphia Baptist Association being held in this city, there was a dispute on Wednesday as to the propriety of the acceptance of the $10,000 appropriated by the State to the Downingtown Industrial School for Colored Youth. This subject was brought up in the report of Rev. Walter Caley for the committee on education. Dr. A. J. Rowland, secretary of the Baptist Publishing Society, objected to allowing the mention of the school to stand in the report, as that would be taken to mean acquiescence and approval of a course, which, as Baptists, they could not approve. "This school has accepted $10,000 from the State," he said, "and Baptists have always inflexible in refusing outside assistance. This action would, rob us of the argument, we have been accustomed to use against the denominations, which are taking all the while to get their hands in the Government's pockets. We can't, as Baptists, receive public money, therefore, I move that we show our disapproval of this action of the school by omitting any reference to it in the report."
Rev. William A. Credit, pastor of the First African Baptist church, who is president of the Downingtown school, replied that in order to exist the school had been forced to accept outside aid, and that it was called in its charter a "non-sectarian" school. He said "that if the association withheld its approval, it should at least refrain from giving the school a black eye by a public demination, and the kindest course would have all reference to it. To the Rev. William A. Credit, the Crozer Theological Seminary, objected on the ground that whether or not the report mentioned it, the money had been given and accepted by the school, and action on the point should go to the root of the issue. Rev. J. G. Walker said that at the same time, the Downingtown school was accepting money from the State on the ground that it was not a Baptist school, it was petrifying the association for a share in the Forward Movement fund to be raised at the biennial) on the score of its Baptist affiliation. Senator Ernest L. Tustin, vice-moderator of the association, presiding, who had obtained that gift for the school said that it was for the industrial training of colored youth, and had no reference to the denomination. The point was finally settled by Rev. Wayland Hoyt, who introduced a resolution to insert in the report that the Downingtown school was not a Baptist school, though one in which Baptists were greatly interested. The school property, with 110 acres surrounding it, is not taxed, however, because it is called church property.
In reference to the argument in question, the association decided to rally to its support by adopting the following resolutions offered by Rev. A. J. Rowland: Whereas, Reports have been published in connection with the action of this gathering concerning the Downingtown Industrial School for Colored Youth, which the friends of that institution regard as prejudicial to its interest; therefore, it is resolved, First, That we heartily reaffirm our profound interest in the Downingtown school, and strongly recommend it as worthy of all confidence and support. Second, That we commend the brethren in this association who have taken the initiative in the instruction of their race and who have done so much to make the enterprise a success. Third, That, while as Baptists we are unalterably opposed to any institution under denominational control receiving aid from the State, in this instance we find that the provisions of the charter of the Downingtown school put it in the list of non-sectarian institutions, and that, therefore, its reception of State aid is not to be charged against our Baptist principle of the entire separation of State and church.
Mrs. Maggie Augustine Jones, wife of Ferdinand Jones, so well known in New York and Philadelphia, died on the 13th of September, in Mexico, of paralysis. She will be buried there.
Rev. James M. Henderson, principal of the Industrial Training School and Orphanage for Colored Children at Southern Pines, N. C., is in the city to raise funds for his school. The school was founded five years ago, and to those of its pupils who can afford to pay, the charges are to 10 cents a week. Many of the 120 pupils are clothed, fed, housed and taught for nothing. The school is in behalf of the Afro-American race, resolutions on the death of Miss Anna T. Jeanes were adopted by the officers and members of Bethel African Methodist Episcopal church, Germantown, at a special meeting held for the purpose. It is "Resolved, That we cherish the memory of such a benefactress and use our utmost endeavors to prove worthy of such
consideration" and such devotion."
Opening exercises of the Berean Manual Training and Industrial School were held on Tuesday evening in the Berean Presbyterian church, adjoining the school, 19th street and college avenue, a large group of friends and relatives. The principal speaker of the evening was Mr. Frank Seake, in the absence of Superintendent of Schools Martin G. Brumbaugh, who was unavoidably prevented from attending. Other speakers were Dr. Ruel Stewart and Rev. Matthew Anderson, principal of the school, who presided. "The school is making great strides in many ways," said Dr. Anderson; "this school is now working to ensure the total enrollment in the neighborhood of 3,000. Owing to the increased attendance it will be necessary shortly to start work on a new building to accommodate the growing number of scholars." J. H. GRAY.

Republican League Successes in Having Resolutions Adopted—Harris the Export Wig Maker—Speech of Commissioner Lewis. Boston, Oct. 9. - Flagrant fraud, confusion, force and riot characterized the Democratic State convention held in Springfield last Saturday. The Democracy of Massachusetts was split in twain, with the result that two candidates are wildly clamoring for and claimig leadership, and both are now vehemently appealing to the voters of the State for support at the coming election next month.
On this one day the State Republican convention was held in Symphony hall. Boston. This convention was conducted in the most harmonious and satisfactory manner. Senator Henry Cabot Lodge made the address of his life and gave our "smart" Democratic mayor a blow below the belt that may put him out of business in December. The mayor's extravagance, boat, bluster and frenzied triple alliteration, "Bigger, Buster, Better" Boston was condemned in such convincing and forceful terms as to win for the Senator tremendous applause.
The day before the convention two delegations of Afro-Americans appeared before the Republican State committee on resolutions for the purpose of submitting a plank bearing upon the injustice and discrimination heaped upon citizens of color in public places in the state, and members of the Colored Men's Republican League of Massachusetts while the other represent the New England Suffrage League. The first named committee was cordially received and the following plank in the Republican platform is the result: "The Republican party, true to its traditions, depreciates an effort which seeks to destroy the high ideals which have been its glory and strength. We condemn any prejudice depreciated by the Republican party of his rights under the constitution, and especially do we condemn any spirit of discrimination in public places within our borders. The Republican party has kept alive the spirit of equality of opportunity, and carnely calls upon our public officials for enforcement of all laws, to the end that justice shall be accorded every person regardless of race, color or creed. The men who represented the Colored Men's Republican League were the John W. Scholars, who above; Mr. Charles Alexander Hon William L. Reed, Mr. Wm, Lloyd Marshall and Mr. P. K Gibson. All of these men are known as true and tried Republicans.
The recommendations of the N. E. Suffrage League were presented by W. M. Trotter, Clifford H. Plummer and J. H. Adams, all characterized by the Evening Record as "colored Democrats." We quote this proposed plank to indicate how far of the mark these men fired. I resolved. That the Republican party of Massachusetts, in conformity with the traditions of the Old Brew State, liberty and equal rights for all, regardless of race, creed or color, and in accord with that spirit of justice which caused the Republicans of this State to lead in protest against it, deplore the executive order issued November 6, 1906, dismissing without honor the colored non-commissioned officers and enlisted men of Companies A, B and C of the Twenty-fifth Regiment, U. S. A., without individual trial or court-martial, and support and favor the passage at the coming session of Congress of the bill of Representative Ernest W. Roberts of this State, H.

"Resolved. In view of the un-American and undemocratic aristocrat dictum of the Federal Interstate Commerce Commission, in a ruling admirable otherwise in its decision that equally good accommodations must be given all interstate passengers, which gave sanction to the segregation of interstate passengers in color as enforced by the Democratic oligarchy in the Southern States, instruct the members of Congress from this State to actively seek the enactment at the cutting session of Congress of a federal statute that exhalted the exclusion of any interstate or other passenger from any coach interstate coach or account of race or color."

One of the most unique and interesting business institutions of Boston is located at 702 Washington street, and is conducted by Mr. Gilbert C. Harris, treasurer of the National Negro Business League, and one of the most influential prosperous and highly respected citizens of Massachusetts. Mr. Harris is an expert manufacturer of wigs and hair and a laborer who mastered both the technique and laborers' work connected with his professions, knowledge of some of the secret chemical process by which hair is treated to obtain various colors and shades. He has among his regular customers some of the leading actors and actresses of the United States and Europe. There is, perhaps no institution conducted by a Negro in the United States so unique and interesting and calls for greater skill than this.

Governor Swanson, of Virginia, ad-

“The South.” Me said in part:
“The Frecing of slaves cost the’ South
$3,000,000,000 and at the clove of the
war the ballot was given to the vicious
and debased, but after years of self-
sacrifice we have recovered. By legis:
lation we have practically eliminated
the Negro from Southern polities. We
will stand together on this question as
we have never stood an any other. We
will treat the Negro kindly, but 50 help
ey God, we will hold him in hic place
for his own good and for the South's
sslvation.”
Governor Swanson, we regret t0
state, is a back number, as the extracts
from his Atlantic City address. show.
He should stay South with such utter-
ances. They do no good anywhere.
Aside from this, what he says is pure

One naturally expects to find things and customs different in the old world, and yet it is quite the rule for Americans to exclaim, "How odd!" when they meet with these differences. I have joked down some of the remarks that I have heard.
To many the funerals seem oddest, the coffins in the great barn-like doorways which are draped with black on white broadcloth to give the effect of a room, together with the lighted candles, basin of holy water, and the "curonnes" (wreaths of natural or bead flowers) ranged around guarded by the paid pall-bearers, is most fascinating. Every man tips his hat and every good Catholic woman crosses herself as they pass the doorway. Even the French stop and watch a funeral procession, which is the paid pall-bearers leading the way most generally the open hearse with the wreaths hanging all around, preceded by while the men walk behind the hearse, and the women bring up the rear. Sometimes there are hacks, but very seldom, and those who have beep invited to the funeral are always glad to show their sympathy by walking in the funeral procession. Some think the cemeteries, with their six-foot vaults and the festoons of wire wreaths, quite odd as well as a very ugly fashion. I have heard ladies say that they were afraid to get in French bathhuts because they were such a queer shape. The fashion of eating butter on young radishes excites the admiration of all the American dyspepties. The immense gray felt hats of the market porters are agreed upon as one of the oldest sights in the world.
In every theatre there is the traditional banging with a stick before the curtain is raised; then there is the "declaration de maissance" or birth register which only permits, at baptism, the names of the saints on the calendar; children are not baptized with the names of generals, saints, etc., in Paris. There are very few hurdy-gurdy in Paris, but there are a few hand organs, and legions of mandolinists, fiddlers, harpists, and the French are most liberal to these street musicians. Ice cream soda mountains may be counted on the fingers. One hand, so the French are yet behind the times according to the idea of one American woman.
Here we have bread-women, milk women, women cab drivers, women automobile drivers, while nearly every cheap hotel has a man chambermaid. One never sees Chinese laundries nor does one ever see a Chinaman (other than a diplomat) wearing his native costume.
Americans are always grumbling about carrying around the great big Blue Beard Keys (Blue Beard was a Frenchman who lived in Bretagne). One person says it is strange to have slats to the shutters which do not open and close; while another wonders why we so seldom hear a drum, although I have heard that the anti-militarists object, believing it will excite too much military enthusiasm. There are no overground telephone or telegraph wires in Paris and there are no regular or square blocks. It is interesting and unusual to hear of insurance societies to protect employers from servants in case of accident during service, and to learn that every receipt of two dollars and over requires a government stamp. Outside doors and gates are taxed in Paris; the majority of the people take their baths at bathhouses; there is a mark placed through the figure seven to distinguish it from the figure one. It seems strange to find liquors on sale in French restaurants.

circulation. The disrespect shown,

tellers is astounding to American Cath

is probably responsible for this),
seems odd that France has such an
armous duty on playing cards. Amer-
have been fined one dollar a card
to the customs. A woman who detests
tactories within city limits gives Paris
bounded praise because it has no fac-
ories on the street fronts. The most
admired convenience in Paris is the
"Petit Bleu," a pneumatic tube service
which delivers a letter in an hour and
a half for six cents, to any part of
Paris.
One shoulders when he learns that all laundry is sent to a public lavoir, by the Blouchesseries, who only iron their customers' linen. It is quite usual to hear of people buying four or five cents-worth of butter, and to find that butter women are delighted to bring five cents-worth each day. French women in the cities, seldom know how to bake any kind of bread, or pie, as no baking is done in French homes unless it is absolutely necessary. It does not seem credible that grocers would charge more for large purchases, but it is a fact that Americans who preferred to buy large orders of flour and super have been charged extra because the daily supply was likely to be exhausted and the purchaser was obliged to pay for the trouble of obtaining a fresh supply.
It has seemed odd to find the French so economical in the use of wrapping cord and to find that small grocers, butchers and the market people wrap up parcels in newspapers and hags made of newspapers, although the butchers are required to use a small piece of brown paper first. One baker sends his bread out with the tiny piece of tissue paper around the bread stuck together with an atom of dough, instead of using string. Beggars pay for the privilege of sitting in church doors where they occupy chairs, as if the doors belonged to them, and women ushers pay for the privilege of demanding a "benefice" from the theatre patrons. American women musicians have been delighted to find women in all the large orchestras where they play not only the harps, but first and second violins as well as the cellos. It has been curious to note that while they wear black dresses, they are always seen

COUNTY COMMISSIONER DE PRIEST.
Construction of Municipal Building.
CHICAGO, Oct. 3.—County Commissioner Oscar De Priest, of Chicago, is the only colored man in this part of the country who has had an active and responsible part in the construction of the great municipal building. The new Court House, now being finished, is one of the noblest buildings in the city, said to be the largest building of its kind in the country, and cost $5,000,000. The structure was erected by the County Commissioners and Mr. De Priest was one of the committee which planned for and superintended its construction. He was no figurehead in the responsibility imposed upon him, actually and energetically participating in all the details of its construction.
*Against Negroes Selling Whiskey.*
Montgomery, Ala., October 7.—The Montgomery city council unanimously refused to grant licenses to Negroes to sell whiskey in Montgomery. There was no debate. Licenses were granted to 164 white saloon keepers.
hosiery, but the French retort, "that the American 'peek-a-boo' waists are equally immodest." Lottery tickets are strung up all over Paris, even the theatre ticket agencies sell them. The French are devoted to games of chance, and this method of raising money for charity is very popular.
The French do not like iced drinks very much; while the question to us, it how they can get along with so little ice. One suggested that there was something in the air which preserves the meat, although it is probable that the small butchers only buy what they need for a day's sale. There is a numbered system for trams and omnibuses in Paris. It takes a long time to call out the numbers and "load up" and Americans are bound to admit the system a just one, although they grow very impatient at the leisurely way they are run. Americans declare that so much spooning on the streets and parks in daytime as well as at night is disgraceful, but the French declare they have no more of it than there is in Hyde Park. French women cannot understand the penchant of the American woman for a rocking chair because they seldom use one. A mean American man said he never saw so many bearded women in his life as he has seen in Paris. (It is supposed to be a sign of beauty over here.) It is very convenient for a person to paste up a written or printed notice on a wall or signboard, if a government stamp is affixed. It seems strange to see schoolhouses posted to the second story, with municipal and election placards, and to Americans, the "remericiments" (thanks) of successful political candidates which are spread everywhere are the "quintessence" of French "politesse."
The French do not eat hickory nuts, walnuts, green corn and watermelons, as so few are imported. One does not find express wagons, and there are few bootblocks. Bicyclists will be interested to learn that wheels are carried from one end of France to the other for two cents railroad fare, "a la grace" of the automobile club of France. People will hunt in vain for pads of paper, as in schools, and for other purposes, they use blank books, which are bought by the dozen. One will see butcher shops with the gilded horses' heads which the law requires, when horse flesh is sold. It is said, by the way, that horse flesh is very nourishing. In up-to-date Paris the law also requires a light for every bicycle, and it is a common sight to see wheelmen holding lighted small Japanese lanterns in their teeth, or riding with them tapping from their handle bars in a most primitive fashion.
The French are very honest. Many people I know have recovered lost articles which had been taken by the Prefecture de Police by people who never thought of a reward, and I once recovered a purse of money intact. They do not advertise for lost articles in the newspapers over here. The most noticeable, and the most remarked of all, is the politeness of French children, who immediately stand when their elders enter a room and remain standing until they are told to be seated. Every American who comes in contact with French home life carries the remembrance of this delightful picture back to America as a lesson.
ST. ANTHONY RECEPTION.
Troy Knights Templar to Give Entertainment.
Troy, Sept. 24c- The services at the A. M. E. Zion church were both well attended Sunday, Rev. Cole occupying the pulpit.

CONDEMN CRIME IN CHICAGO.
Negro Ministers Deplore Lawlessness Among Men of Their Race.
Among Men of Their Race.
Citroza, Oct. 3. Chicago Negroes have begun a fight against the lawless of their race. Resolutions were passed recently at a meeting of the pastors of all African Methodist Episcopal churches of Chicago deploring the wave of Negro crime and condemning the lax administration of the parade system, which they allege, permits lawbreaking Negroes to infest the city.
The meeting was held at Institutional church, and the Rev. A. J. Carey, D. D. pastor of Bethel A. M. E. church, introduced the resolutions. They call upon all ministers of African Methodist churches of the city to warn their congregations from the pulpit against committing crimes, condoning violations of the law, or giving encouragement in any manner to the unlawful.
Special sermons will be preached in all African Methodist Episcopal churches on the subject.
NO HALF RATES FOR PREACHERS.
CHICAGO, Oct. 3. After Jan. 1, 1908, clergymen who have been traveling on self-rates on all Western railroads will be billed with the fare. His fact was made certain today by the action of a general conference of all the clergy bureaus of all the Western Passenger Associations.
The action of the railroads is in line with the announced policy of withdrawing all reduced rate privileges in States where two-cent laws are passed.

Agricultural and Mechanical College for the Colored Race
Fifteenth annual session will begin September 2nd and continue nine months.
In addition to the excellent facilities which have been afforded by the Department of Agriculture and Chemistry, the Mechanical Department, the English Department and the Department of Industry, two new departments have been established; the Entry Department and a Teachers' Training Department. The addition of these two departments will greatly increase the value of the institution and extend its usefulness.
A central housing plant is being installed which will be complete during the Summer and which will add to the comfort of the students. Providers have been made for the installation of a Sewage system which will give increased protection to the health of the students. A new dormitory containing 48 rooms has just been completed.

Norfolk Citizens Rebuke Jamestown Officials
PHYSICIANS VETO DAY
Meeting for Purpose of Observing Special Days at Jamestown Defeated—Meeting of Tidwater Medical Association.
Norfolk, Va., October 7.—A meeting was called at the rooms of the Y. M. C. A. last Tuesday evening by Prof. A. L. Macbeth, assistant director-general of the Afro-American Exposition for the purpose of arranging for a special of the Afro-American Department of the Jamestown Exposition, Mossell, Moss, Bowling, Burke, S. P. Saunders, Dr. D. W. Byrd and Messrs. Thoroughgood, Arthur Turner, C. C. Dogan, George L. Pryor, Jordan Thompson, Anthony Miller and D. G. Jacox were among the prominent citizens that responded.
Prof. Macbeth stated the object of the meeting and tried to create a strong sentiment in favor of the movement. Dr. Moss was the first speaker to follow Prof. Macbeth, and he did not fail to express himself. He was against the movement. Dr. Moss, Mossell, Bowling, Rev. Burke, Dr. Byrd, Messrs. Thoroughgowns and Degen spoke against the movement, and some of the speakers said that the officials of the Negro department had ignored the prominent Afro-Americans of Norfolk notwithstanding that hundreds of dollars of their stock had been subscribed and paid for by Norfolk's citizens, and passes were given these leading men of the community, while passes had been distributed to citizens of other cities, also nepotism had been practiced by those who had the affairs of the Negro department in their charge. One speaker said that one official had his whole family employed. The prominent citizens of Norfolk unanimously voted having a "Norfolk Dept so this is a severe rebuke to the officials of the Negro department of the Jamestown Exposition.
The Tidewater Medical Society held its monthly meeting at Hotel Mt. Vernon last Thursday with Dr. P. A. Scott presiding. This society is composed of all of the Afro-American physicians in Tidewater, Va. After the business of the association had been dispensed with memorial exercises were held in memory of the late Dr. Fisher, of Portsmouth, Va, and Dr. Addison, of Hampton, Va. Their lives were culogized by Drs. Elliott, Reid, Reunion, Trigg, Lightner, Barber, Trope, Scott and Fuller. Dr. Barber and Trope were the first Afro-American physicians to come to this section of the State. They were the pioneers, hence Drs. Barber and Trope were deeply affected by the death of Dr. Addison.
Dr. Lewis, president of the Richmond Medical Society, made a profound talk. Mr. M. L. Hill, an energetic business man of Durham, and the aged correspondent, and Mr. L. W. Bright, proprietor of the hotel, were introduced to the body and made short addresses. The home of Mr. and Mrs. George Tuston, of Huntersville, was the scene of day evening, given in honor of the Misses Hattie and Maria Martin and Cora Styron, pedagogues of the "Elm City", of the Old North State. The elite of the city's young society was present. The officials of the Negro department of the Jamestown Exposition tried to have a "Negro Physicians' Day" and sought the influence of the Tidewater Medical Association, but owing to the failure of these officials to recognize the citizens, they did reoccupy the theater, they would not endorse the movement, therefore no boosting could bring a "Negro Physicians' Day."
The exhibits in the Negro building are native ideals and inspiring, but it is a pity that affairs have been such that the citizens of this community through self-respect have to play hands off. In the beginning they were enthusiastic, but the officials off the Negro department dampen their ardor
At the Y. M. C. a next Sunday International Secretary Mr. W. A. Hunton will give a lecture of his trip to the Far East, at the auditorium of the Y. M. C. A. A commercial law class has been organized by the men of the association. Lawyer Reid, of Portsmouth, will be the lecturer.
Archdeacon W. George Avant, Master Frank Avant and Miss Caroline Dudley, of New Bern, N. C., were in the city last week.

The meeting at the Young Men's Christian Association at last Sunday afternoon was among the pleasantest that has been held for a long time. From the very beginning the spirit showed itself in a manner which told that the hour was to be a highly profitable one. About 150 were present. After the devotional exercises the program was handed over to Dr. York Russell, who introduced the speaker, Connellor Walter W. Delsarte, of the law firm of Delsarte, Smith & Company, who spoke on "Lost Opportunities."
After telling of the manner in which many young people waste their time and displease their powers, and of the consequent loss to society, Mr. Delarte expressed the view that we should always be forging ahead. "It will be a sad day for humanity when every one is pleased—when a general universal satisfaction sweeps over the face of the world, the mean that all the dead, that effort ceases, and that the human race has lost its purposes and ideals. If you will tell me what the young men of to-day are doing, what they are reading, and what they are thinking about, what their aims and ideals are. I can pretty nearly tell you what will be the future of this republic. Speaking of the work of the association and its help to the manhood of the race, Mr. Delarte said: "Institutions like this bespeak the future of the young men of my race. As President Roosevelt has said, one of the great challenges we face today is to citizen in the community in which he lives. If our young men will do their duty, and if our whole race will live up to the opportunities before it, a change in the sentiment of this country toward us must come. It may be in the dark and misty future, but it will come
that time will surely come when we shall occupy a position along with those of the most favored races of the world" Repeated applause greeted Mr. Delattre'sitation as he took his seat. Dr York Russell commented favorably upon it, and complimented the speaker upon his effort. Hon Beverly R. Robinson, Assemblyman of the 27th Assembly District, was present and also spoke "Not for a long time, said Mr. Robinson, I have to be deeply impressed as I have been to the problem of humanity is the greatest problem of all. Gain in this life is made only by slow processes, and the man who devotes himself to the public welfare is rendering the best possible service to humanity."
The Literary Society, under its new set of others, is progressing rapidly. The theatre question was discussed on Tuesday evening, each side showing great ability in handling the question. Mr W H. Thomas is planning great things for the dramatic club in the near future. Miss Edith A. Leonard, president of the theatre department, assistants, have planned a performance for the branch, to take place some time in November. The lectures under the direction of the Board of Education began on Wednesday evening, the 9th, with a musical illustrated lecture. The public is invited every Wednesday night. Next Sunday afternoon Mr E. V. Williams, chairman of the membership committee, will conduct a sacred song service. He has selected some of the music talent of the Newman Music quarter partner of Joe Gans, now a converted Christian singer, will be on hand and sing. Aerial invitation is extended to all men to attend the services.

WILLIAMS INDUSTRIAL COLLEGE
Arkansas Institution Which is a Local Factor of Great Good.
LITTLE ROCK, October 5.—Williams Industrial College opened here last week in its fifth annual school with a record breaking attendance, and indication pointing to a most successful year's work. This institution was established five years ago by the Rev. Rufus S. Stout, D. D., secretary of church extension in the C.M.E. church, with the intention of making it a connecional school. The institution has encountered the usual difficulties that any other young enterprise of its character has to meet, but has successfully met them all and is now in fairly good condition.
The property is now located in the heart of the city and for its purposes, designated in the name of the college, is hardly adequate for its present needs. Accordingly property out of town has been purchased, the distance of three miles from town on the Iron Mountain Railroad, to which place after this term the institution will be located
Dr. Stout has stated that the institution was only established in recognition of the need of a school in this portion of the State, to look after the interest of the young people in this section, and that it was not intended to in any way rival Haygood Seminary, located at Washington. The effort is now being out forward to unite the two institutions, which will make the educational facility in the C.M.E. church equal to those of other States. The character of the work done is both literary and industrial and a competent faculty is employed. Dr. R. S. Stout, the founder, is president of the institution. The other members of the faculty are Prof. James A. Stout, principal, a graduate from Tillison College.

Ruth Williams, Industrial College; M. Ruth Williams, Industrial College; The E.F. De School, dressmaking and millinery department; and Mrs. M. O. B. Cato, matron.
The college located at Little Rock has great possibilities for good, and the management is to be complimented for the remarkable showing it has made with no dependable support behind it. The property it is now using is valued at $500,000. There are four buildings on the ground, one a unique two-story dormitory for girls, a two-story dormitory for boys, the administration building and the building having been enrolled in the second week of the session, and as soon as the farming season shall have closed the facilities will be more than taxed to accommodate all who come. The usual attendance approaches three hundred.
Prof James A. Stout, the principal, is one of the best-known educators in Arkansas, and has served the people of the State in various fields, doing remarkably well wherever he has been. To his wise and economical management of affairs, here is the greatest amount of the success of the institution due. HORACE D. SLATTER

KILLED TEDDY'S BEAR.
A 400-Founder Was Lald Low in the
Reservell Hunting Grounds.
WILTON, La., Oct. 3.—M. P. Thompson,
one of the most celebrated Negro
bear hunters of the Louisiana swamps,
killed a 400-pound bear Friday in the
swamps back of this place in East Carrol Parish. He had a pack of fourteen dogs and had no trouble in running brain down.
This is the very section of the State where it has been decided for President Theodore Roosevelt to hunt bear for two weeks under the guidance of John M. Parker and Civil Service Commissioner John A. McIlhenny. It is hinted in this section that Thompson may become a member of the presidential party in camp. He is familiar with all hunting grounds in this section.

CANE FOR THE PRESIDENT.
Preparation Made by Afro-Americans in Iowa
Koobuk, Oct. 1.—Just as the President was preparing to leave the grand stand after his speech, an Afro-American can approached him and in behalf of the Negro population of Keokuk, presented him with a handsome gold-mounted walking-stick. It seems that several days ago a Negro minister somewhere in Iowa, at a religious conference, delivered a bitter arraignment of the President because of his action in the Brownville matter and declared that he had lost the support of the Afro-Americans, and that they would not favor for President a certain candidate for whom he has indicated a preference. The cane presentation to-day was calculated to offset that deliverance and to show the President that the Negroes are still his loyal supporters.
The President made a brief reply accepting the gift, in which he said that the principle which he followed in dealing with men was to treat each man according to his merits, and to guarantee him before the law the right which he shows himself entitled to. There were told cheers for this sentiment.
QUESTION OF A BISHOP.
Windom of Setting Aside a Bishop for Afro-American to Be Discussed.
RICHMOND, Va., October 3.—One of the most interesting questions which will be discussed during the general convoction of the Episcopal church is that of the wisdom Bishop setting aside the Afro-American Bishop for the special benefit of the Afro-American people. There is much division of opinion on this subject. Practically all of the Southern Bishops who are here favor the plan. Many of the strongest men who will make up the convoction from the North and West are opposed to it. If the decision is made in favor of the special Bishop the question will arise as to whether or not he will be a white man or a black man and what relational he will hold to the general Episcopal body, and of course the question will what individual will be expected for this honor is also an interesting one. Of all the questions that are likely to come before the convoction for decision during its long session, we venture to say that the one bearing upon the interests of the Afro-American, who are engaged with the Episcopal church, will overshadow all others in interest.
TAKEN UP ABUSE OF ITALIANS.
Mishappal Mohi's Attack on Crippled Shoemaker Reported to Ambassador.
MORILE, Ms., Oct. 3.—The Italian government has taken notice of the situation at Sunrall, Miss., where the native whites are endeavoring to keep Italian children out of the school and where a leader of the Italians was taken to the woods and whipped.
The Italian Consul at New Orleans, Count G. Morrison, reached Mobile this afternoon and began an investigation of the situation. He to-day heard the story of Frank Seaglioni, the leader of the Italian colony of Sunrall, who was a few days ago decayed from his home at night with a bogus message from New Orleans and unmercifully whipped by a mole of white men.
This man, a crippled shoemaker, who has been operating a small shop, was yesterday afternoon brought to this city and placed in a boarding-house, where he is being cared for by L. L. Major, of the Newman Lumber Company. His condition is such that it will be two weeks before he will be able to be out. He is badly bruised and cut.
Seaglioni said he was called to his door by a man who said he had a message for him from New Orleans. As he stepped from his door he was seized and dragged almost a mile into the woods, where he was beaten with the end of a log rope.
He said there were thirty men in the mob. He was left in the woods, more dead than alive.
The Consul said he would communicate with the Italian Ambassador at Washington, sending the names of those who composed the mob.
Strong Feeling in Mishalippi Town Against Italia.
HATTIESBURG, Miss, Sept. 30—At Sumrall, Miss, eighteen miles from here, on the Mississippi Central Railroad, feeling against Italians has grown so strong that they are packing up and preparing to move from the neighborhood.
The trouble grew out of the complaint of an Italian that has children who were excluded from the public schools. He was taken into the woods Friday night and given a severe whipping. The situation has been aggravated by the demands of the employees of the Newman Lumber Company, at Sumrall, for an increase in wages. The Italians and Negroes have been warned not to work there after to-morrow. Sumrall is a small lumber town of about 600 inhabitants, about one-sixth of which are Italians. The authorities of Lamor County have been appealed to for protection by the lumber company.

Zion church has had considerable property which has been unoccupied. The member to sell a portion of the property and place the new building. Rev. Dr. Ungerfield and son returned from Boston and Cambridge, Mass., from a concert and lecture tour. The doctor reports a pleasant trip. He preached for Dr. J. H. Cullis, who is, no doubt, said he, the logical candidate for the secretary of the church connection. He preached for Dr. Ira Sisco, of Cambridge, and gave him a first-class concert.
Mrs. Lucinda Johnson, the founder of the A. M. E. Zion church, last Sunday gave a historical sketch of the commencement of the organization of Zion church. Rev. Robert Johnson and Rev. Griffin filled the pulpit of A. M. E. Zion and preached a sermon. Mr. D. Mayard has been quite sick but is able to be out. I, Mr. Mayard, gave a very delightful reception at her residence on South Maple avenue last Thursday evening. Quite a number were present.

Holden, Secretary; Charles Williams, Treasurer; Charles Cain, Tyler; James H. Powell, Esquire; William Jordan, Inner Guard; Albert Krauser, Master of Ceremonies; Charles Griggsby, Chaplain; B. Harrell, Organist. Board of Trustees: W. Oxley, chairman; F. Easterline and C. Smith. After initiation a very elaborate, collation was served and timely speeches made by the State Deputy and other prominent officers on the good of the order and to uplift Elkdom in general. Pocahontas Lodge will at its next meeting initiate several new members, and is only two months old.
The letter of Dr. James E. Mills, grand organizer of the parent body, in THE AGE of last week, will undoubtedly cause serious attention and deep thinking by those in a position to contradict the good doctor. We have in the past espoused the principles of Elkdom freely without bias and endeavored to interpret its code as it is written on the tablets of our memory—justice to all. In working for reconciliation it is suicidal to raise old sores of the past. Brother State Deputy S. P. Jones, 45, was present and acted Exalted Ruler at the recent regular business meeting of Westchester Lodge, No. 116, Tarrytown, N. Y. Brother Jones made a few interesting remarks relative to his attendance at the Chicago convention. Also mentioning some of the new laws passed and of the committee on arbitration to meet a similar committee of the parent body, to consider ways and means of mending the broken antlers of the young, rising and energetic Elk.
the Young.
The members of Westchester Lodge have felt the hand of the reaper in the sad death of Brother Thomas F. Young, who was one of the earnest workers of the bodge. He was a chauffeur in the employ of Mr. Benjamin Briscoe, of the firm of Maxwell, Briscoe & Co. While at the foundry chatting with a friend, he suddenly dropped dead. Heart failure are the cause of sudden death. The funeral was held at the A. M. F. Zion church, Friday, Sept. 27. The members of Westchester Lodge made an excellent showing in their full-dress regalia, and the officers performing the funeral rites as laid down in the rituals of the order. Brother Young was thirty-five years of age, and a prominent citizen of Tarrytown.
A new club is being formed under the supervision of Westchester Lodge, and any person desiring membership can communicate with Brother William F. Kingsland, secretary, 34 Cortland street, Tarrytown, N.Y.
Brothers Raymond A. Wilson, organist 32 James Towell and John H. Smith, theatrical men of note and standing, have graciously agreed to entertain the guests on Nov. 7, for the ladies, at Summer Hall. A grand social time is anticipated, and the ladies are working tremendously to make it the talk of the season—a huge success, humorously, so far, generously and otherwise.
Brother Counsellor J. Edward Hawkins, Puget Sound Lodge, No. 109, Seattle, Wash., chairman of the Committee on Arbitration, has lived on the Pacific coast for the past twenty-six years. Twenty of which he has lived at Seattle. Brother Hawkins has declared that the conditions in the State of Washington are more favorable to the Afro-American than in any other State in the Union, that State having probably the smallest number of Negro inhabitants of any other State. There being any absence of race prejudice in that State, he is trying to induce Negroes to move to the State of Washington. He is also boosting the Alaska Yukon Pacific Exposition which will be held at Seattle from June to December, 1909.
Brother Hawkins favors immediate reunion of the two bodies of Elks as soon as practicable. The Western Elks are in full sympathy in such an undertaking. It would deepen their sense of fellowship, unify their interests, develop the wiser methods of reciprocation, give voice and responsibility to their local leaders and the leadership, and would reveal distinctive needs more clearly and palpably both to the Antlers and to the fraternity.
Brother Rev. Henry W. Jameson, D. D., Pooria, Ill., who represented Gorman Lodge, No. 112, at the convention and deputy for the southern district of Illinois, feels that the two great bodies of Elks should cement fraternal ties and build up a tremendous organization before the next grand convention. Brother Jameson enjoys the distinction of being the only Afro-American to have had charge of a department of justice in the United States Army. As Judge Advocate of the Military District of Mayori in Cuba, he enjoys such distinction. For this eminent service rendered the national law school of Louisville, Ky., has conferred upon him the degree of L. L. D.
Miss M. E. McDonald, M. D. Past Daughter Ruler, Assistant Grand Daughter Ruler, and organizer Forest Temple. No. 9, 428 I street, N. W. Washington, D. C., would graciously open correspondence with ladies who are thinking of establishing prospective temples in any State of the Union. The evening of Sept. 30. Brooklyn Lodge. No. 32, approved the balance of the by-laws and constitution and the same will be printed at an early date.
Brother E. Elmore Brock, Junior Delegate of Brooklyn Lodge, read his report giving the most interesting features of the convention, which was received and heartily approved Monday evening, Oct. 7. A vote of appreciation and congratulatory speeches extended the junior delegates for the able and scholarly report rendered the membership of progressive No. 32.
