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. F' 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 Poughkeepsie, Bally Dax.

AN AFRO-AMERICAN JOURNAL OF NEWS AND OPINION NEW YORK, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 10, 1907 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.

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. NEW HAVEN HAR CONVENTION. NEW HAVEN.

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. W. for the reinstatement of said soldiers for the rights and privileges to which they respectively were entitled at the time of their discharge, without incurring the forfeiture of pay or other right or privilege by reason of such discharge order. "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." It is the opinion of the State Republican committee that since the party is not dealing with national issues this year that the questions raised in the above resolutions are not in harmony with the party's policy. 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. The capital stock carried by Mr. Hair wax and hair goods is valued at $200,000. For twenty-three years, under the name of Gilbert & Co., Mr. Gilbert C. Harris has labored. He came to Boston from Virginia in 1872 and found employment in a hair-working establishment conducted by a Frenchman, whose firm name was *L'Académie de la beauté*. Mr. Harris continued the firm under the same name. He assumed full charge as proprietor and owner in 1894. It is said upon good authority that Mr. Harris does more business during the year than all of the three other similar institutions in Boston. Hardly a theatrical company coming to Boston but that some member has occasion to transact business with him, Mr. Harris is one of the wealthiest Negroes in the State, owning a number of brick houses in the South End and having on hand at all times a sufficient amount of cash in the bank to meet his obligations promptly. He is treasurer of more organizations than any other Negro in Massachusetts, and, when an organization starts in search of a good, strong, responsible colleague, he always end up at the establishment of Gilbert C. Harris, of 732 Washington street. Ex-Senator C. William Hinds, of Beloix, Miss, made a somewhat sensational speech in the 'A. M. E. church, Chelsea, last Thursday night.

"Common Sense in the Solution of the Race Problem" was the subject of an address by Hon. William H. Lewis, Commissioner of Emigration, before a large and enthusiastic audience at the opening of the St. Mark Musical and Literary Union, 1042 Tremont street, last Sunday afternoon. Mr Lewis began his address by saying that contact, experience and observation, formed the basis of his preparation to speak on this subject. He believed that physically, morally intellectually and culturally mature but that as a race we spend too much time talking about our past, crying over present discrimination, and not thinking more about the future. We are too prone to call attention to the fact that we were once slaves. Our history is no exception to the history of other races, and yet no other race calls attention to its past history as often as ours. He paid a high compliment to Dr. Booker T. Washington as the only really great Negro educator. Mr Lewis urged that the race cease fighting in its own ranks and give more attention to common sense, constructive methods of improving its condition. He declared that if the race would add another amendment to the Federal Constitution which would provide that all men of whatever race in the United States should have their civil and political rights, and that these rights should be equal and operate the same with all citizens.

Call at 95 Madison avenue for Titt. N. Y. Ace. WASHINGTON SCHOOLS (Continued from first )ogr.) Is the anti-Negro covenant in the new reality deeds of the District of Columbia valid? This is the question soon to be solved by the white residents of Bloomingdale by a suit brought to prevent Francis De Sales Smith, a colored teacher, from occupying a home recently purchased in this exclusively Caucasian section of the national capital. The property, in question is known as 22006 First street, and the deed conveying the premises carried a covenant, now so-called, that it will be allowed to people, that it should not be sold to or occupied by any colored person, or transferred to any one likely to rent it to any individual of African descent. These deeds have been handled by the thousand in the office of the Recorder of Deeds, and have been accepted in good faith by the purchasers of homes in neighborhoods thus guaranteed to remain "white" forever by virtue of the anti-Negro covenant contained therein. The legality of such instrument, however before been openly called, is still far-freer to importance. The sale was made by a white firm to realize on a mortgage held by it, without considering the color of the purchaser, and the property owners in the Bloomingdale section are up in arms against Mr. Pairo and all whom they regard as responsible for allowing this respectable colored man to poach upon their exclusive preserves. Every white family within a radius of two blocks has joined in the suit, either by name or money contract, either by agreement or by the bitter end. The best legal authorities say that the covenant prohibiting sale of certain properties to Negroes has no binding force, for under the provisions of the 13th and 14th amendments to the Constitution of the United States there is no law or covenant that can prevent a Negro from buying a house anywhere he pleases. If the injunction or whatever form the neighbors may proceed against Mr. Smith, is no avail, the decision will stand as a precedent and completely nullify all anti-Negro covenants carried in the thousands of Negroes in the District of Columbia. In the meantime, Mr. Smith is holding the fort, and is resisting strong pressure to induce him to sell out at a hand-some figure and quietly his way. The wanton assault upon Howard University, and its very capable president Dr Willur P. Thirkield, by an anonymous press bureau in this city is bitterly resented by the friends of that time-honored institution. The increased popularity of the school is attested by its record breaking enrollment for the current year and the acceptability of Dr. Thirkield is represented by demonstrations of enthusiasm and care on the part of the teaching corps and students in general. The school was never in better condition than it is today, and the changes in the faculty and in the curriculum, which are really the crux of the present attack, have been made for the well-being of the establishment as a whole, without regard to the likes or dislikes or personal profit of any cabal or faction. Dr. Thirkield is only deeply interested in high purpose deep intellectuality, a high conception of the principles for which Howard University stands, but he is a resourceful business man and in his hands the financial interests of the institution will be most aly cared for. The high standard of the school will never be lowered, and the race's typical seat of the higher education will go on under Dr Thirkield's painstaking administration, growing year by year more in harmed and spurred by the lofty ideal conceived of the national capital O O.

Institute-Nation of the Voters Department JEFFERSON CITY, Mo., October 8. Speaking of outlay, and return for money and time expended in a period of the world's history when every one is seeking in a businesslike way for adequate return of dollar for dollar, or its equivalent, we doubt if there is a school in the country that makes a better practical demonstration in this respect than do institutions. Seven dollars per month, the price of board to the student, is a smaller amount than most young people are well fed upon per month at home; and the modesty that is required and encouraged in matters of dress, means also that in this item of dress the student is better clad for the money expended than would be at home, while the economy modest and neatness in dress, food and otherwise, are invaluable. Six new pianos of good make have just been installed for the use of students who take instrumental music, and when it is recalled that the institution has two separate and distinct departments of music, vocal and instrumental, each presided over by a specialist in her lute line, and constituting the conservatories of Chicago and others of merit, it will be seen that the opportunities for tutoring music are first-class. Thus it is in each department, thoroughness, skill and progress animate the entire work of the school. It is therefore not strange that young colored men and women come here from all sections of the country, as Miss Lena Hopkins, from Choycume, Yowning the same house as Choycume, R. N. Y., daughter of Mr. R. W. Thompson, the writer; William Garrett of Mobile Ala. etc. Then, the wide range of territory throughout which the senior normal diploma, a life certificate, is taken in lieu of teachers' examinations, as Missouri, Oklahoma, parts of Kansas and Illinois, in all of which localities salaries are excellent, constitutes another incentive to cause the thinking parent and student to select Lincoln Institute as the place in which to secure an education. And they are coming—every day and week able to the enrollment for 1907. The athletic association under the elder of Manager West, is preparing for its annual victories on the gridiron. In athletics the institution takes front rank; and, in fact, can claim the championship for football among schools for the Negro.

Sunday afternoon service in the school auditorium is attended by the entire student body and teaching force.

Rouvrayt on Industrial Training Kookok, October 4: Industrial education is no longer referred to as the exclusive property of the Negro nor is it looked down upon as degrading to the boy or girl to whom it is offered. President Roosevelt gave technical training a big boost in his Kookok speech when he urged that federal aid be extended to the agricultural and industrial wheels of the several States. Said he, "In my opinion, the Federal Government should, to operate with the State governments, to secure the needed change and improvement in our schools, to turn the system of educational training for the young into channels at once broader and more practicable. The colleges cannot reach the masses, and it is essential that the masses be reached. Such agricultural high schools as are to be found, for instance, in both St. Louis and Washington. It is a perfectly feasible to carry in practical fashion the fundamentals of industrial training into the reality of our secondary schools. Too often our present schools tend to put altogether too great a premium upon the mere literary education, and therefore train away from the farm and the shop. We should reverse this process." A man may be "sky" on the classics, but if he is "game" he has a large "lookin" for the good things of life. NCHOKS FROM BLKDON. Activation of the Edges of Virginia and the West.

I beg leave to report as follows: I found PLACEB GOLD upon your properties which upon examination produced from one dollar to sixteen dollars per cubic yard. I also found a Gold vein of about 4 ft. wide at a depth of 6 ft. from surface. I am glad to my that the Gold Mining Proposition in my opinion will be a profitable one to all persons concerned in the working of these mines. I found wild COTTON with a fibre superior in tenacity and in length to that of the cultivated Cotton of the States. RUBBER abounds in abundance on your properties and can be cultivated to great advantage to the Syndicate members financially. 225 Cocon trees can be planted upon an acre of ground, it requires from two to three years to produce Cocon Beams and a Cocon tree produces from $5.00 to $6.00 worth of Beans per Annum. 300 and more Rubber trees can be planted and cultivated with great profit upon an acre of ground and each Rubber tree in about five or six years will produce from one to two pounds of Rubber per Annum of the value of more than $2.00. It will cost from $40.00 to $50.00 per acre to clear the land for the planting of Rubber, Cocon and Cotton. More than 2,500,000 trees can be planted upon your properties with a scrape to spare for other purposes. The RUBBER and COCOA at the average of $2.00 per tree for the two would produce more than $4,400,000 per Annum for generations and an equally paying business can be developed in the cultivation of Cotton. My advice is, that you commence at the cultivation of the products and the working of the mines as you will secure from the latter in my opinion in a short time enough gold to more than pay for the necessary expense which will be incurred in the commencement of this great work. With my best wishes for your success, I have the honor to remain. The Engineer and three or four Syndicate Members will return to the properties in November, 1907. We now need funds to buy land for machinery and necessary expenses. SUBSCRIPTIONS are now $220 per 1,000 shares. They will make a further increase within a few days.

New York, Sept. 20, 1907 aug 29 1-yy Oct. 3 24 Proprietors $ \dot{O}_{2} \mathrm{~L} 1 6. 2 1 $ Arbitrary Police Powers Given to Foreign Conductors on Richmond Street Cars—Exposition Exhibits. An educated Brooklyn woman, formerly a teacher in Virginia, who made a trip to the Jamestown Exposition, told a Brooklyn Eagle reporter of her experience, and observation of "Jim Crow" cars and race discrimination south of Mason and Dixon's line. She said: "Having missed my train on the morning of the 15th, while in the Pennsylvania depot purchasing my ticket, I was referred to the station master, who had that train held at Philadelphia for sixteen minutes over time so that I might make connection, leaving Jersey City just two hours later via another express, and I desire to contrast the manner of the station master at the Pennsylvania depot at this end with that of the conductor who boarded the train at Delmar. The first was gentle, kind and obliging to the passengers, irrespective of color, and while he said that the first train was due to leave Philadelphia depot some minutes before the second was due, he added: "There is no reason why these trains should not make connections. You wait here until I see if I can arrange it." His kindness was appreciated. "At Delmar the new conductor came on and on his first round of ticket inspection said, after looking at mine: 'When the train stops again you go to the forward car.' I said, 'Why? What is the matter with my ticket?' Isn't it all right? 'Yes,' said he, 'the ticket is all right, but we separate you people in this State.' I went forward to the car designated, thinking that the car must have decent accommodations at least, but of all the dirty, offensive coaches I ever saw that was probably the worst. "Notwithstanding the fact that my ticket called for first-class accommodation, I submitted and rode there. The car had not been cleaned or even had its windows washed for many months. This is probably what allude to when they speak of the unequal accommodation. "From Franktown to Cape Charles later on I had a chance to ride in a regular Jim Crow car, but the difference was it was a local and although bagged off it was clean, much more comfortable and entirely bearable." "On the return trip to New York I got on the express train at Cape Charles, Virginia, and did not even hear mention of the name of a Jim Crow car; rode all the way in a well-crowded coach and found both the conductors and porters gentlemanly. "I found the accommodations on steamboats for the Negro just a little better, with the exception of having to go down to the bottom of the boat to eat, but with the food and the way it was served one could find no fault. The caterer had the same bill of fare, charged the same prices and furnished clean table linen, silver and even fancy dishes away down in the bottom of the boat." "In the street cars it would not be so thoroughly disgusting if Virginia had not given the street car conductors the rights of policemen. These positions are held principally by the uncivil and an American foreigners, and they allow their hatred of the black American to develop arrogance. A printed sign in the car shows that passengers in the cars may be ordered by conductors to change seats often as may be necessary. On refusing a passenger may be fined $25 or be ejected from the car, and the notice add that each motorman or conductor is the same as a policeman. "The three back seats of each car are designated for the Negro and the forward part for the white man. When all of the seats for either race are filled a woman or woman of either race can fill the unoccupied seat, but no one seemed more tired of this botheration than members of the white race who generally sit where they pleased without molestation. When a Negro woman got on a car with one of these arrogant conductors, however, especially if she looked respectable and attempted to sit on the third seat from the back, he'd order her to take the one possible vacant seat beside white men in working garb, and on one occasion, when the writer was requested to take the last seat, the men vacated and stood on the outside. Nevertheless there are some conductors who are as police as one would desire to find and do the best the can under the circumstances. "The Jamestown Exposition is a great event and the Negro would do well to visit the show even if he does come in contact with some discrimination through travel. The Negro Building and its exhibits showing the progress of the Negro along all lines are great and would in spite the most hopeless of the race to a pire and hope for higher things. "The exhibits of work of students, of Hampton Normal and Agricultural Institute, of Tuskegee, of schools of Washington, D. C., etc., as well as of institutions of higher learning, such as Bisk and Wilberforce universities, the latter of which has always had an industrial department covering art of nearly every description, make a great display, including good paintings as well as beautiful creations in dressmaking, millinery, etc. by the students. "The sculpture work of Miss Meta Vaux Warick showing the Negro's progress from the landing of the twenties; slaves at Jamestown, through the period of the Negro in the cotton field, the escaping slaves being tracked by blood hounds, in organization of the first distinctive Negro church in 1816, the Negro's defense of his master's home during the Civil War; his first school house Negro home building; the Negroes soldiers, as farm owners, as contractors and builders, and as bankers, make a strong impression. "A wagon made by Hampton students displays wheelwrighting, blacksmithing and painting. Among the attractions is a miniature warship made of tinfoil with out nails or screws, by James Stanley, oi 1528 Prospect place, Brooklyn; an invalid's bed by one A. C Taylor and a hand made buffet by El of Washington." Children's Aid Society Holds Services at Calvary Church. PATTERSON, Oct. 8.—The Colored Children's Aid Society, of this city hold services at the Calvary Baptist church on Sunday morning, by Rev. J. H. Randolph. In the afternoon at 3 p.m., the services consisted of a literary entertainment.

Judge Justifien Amount by Minnesota Lawyer. BROOKHAVEN, Miss, October 6—E. N. Bryant, formerly Negro school teacher, was tried before Justice Hoffman yesterday on the charge of trafficking in examination questions. Judge Hoffman took the case under advice until next Tuesday. When Bryant took the witness stand he was insolent to P. Z. Jones, counsel for the State. Jones seized a chair and dealt the witness a blow on the head. The court excused the act of the attorney as being entirely justified. For several months Bryant has been editing a small paper in Brookhaven. Recently he has been calling attention in his paper to the fact that the Negroes outnumber the whites in Mississippi and urging all Negroes who can qualify to register and be ready for next year's election.

Municipal Civil Service Commission, No 299 Broadway, New York, August 10, 1907 FRANK A. SUSSEOR It is to be hopeful that some of our young men will avail themselves of the opportunity to enter that branch of the municipal service, where colored men are so greatly needed. The appearance of a few colored men in the uniform of the New York police would have a far-reaching effect and would undoubtedly tend to ameliorate many of the conditions of which so many of our people complain. It is an undisputed fact that race riots and similar disturbances are practically unknown in communities where we find the colored policeman. And if for no reason other than as a safeguard against those happenings, the bravest of our young men should make the trial. There is no more commendable avocation than that of "guardian of the peace" provided the individual is imbued with the right spirit and a new field for our young men in which to exploit their ability, courage and manhood is hereby opened to them a field in which the opportunities are bright and alluring. CHICAGO NOTES Mrs. Maude Curney Hare, of Boston, Mass., and daughter of the late N. Wright Curney, of Texas, is in Chicago for the purpose of contesting the right of her late husband, Dr. F. J. McKinley, to retain the full custody of their only child, Vera. The Divorce Court of this city granted legal separation to Dr. McKinley and his wife some three years ago, and since that time the child has most of the time remained in the custody of the father. It appears that the present proceeding is to reverse the provisions of the original decree, which awarded the custody of the child to the father. Owing to the high standing and prominence of the parties to the present proceeding, their sudden appearance in court here in a cross fight for the sole custody of the beautiful little daughter, with all of its attendant publicity, has created more than a mild sensation. A half dozen of the popular Literary Societies of the city have formally opened for the season. These clubs have become a permanent feature of the intellectual life of our progressive young people. Most of them are deservedly popular and have a large membership and attendance at all their meetings. They discuss all kinds of questions, from the "train of Species" to the new drug store on the corner. THE NEW YORK AGE: THURSDAY, OCTOBER 10, 1907 Mr. Crawford Will Also Try a Hand at Importation of Dominica Granades. From New York Fruitman's Guide. The West Indian Trading and Development Bureau in New York office, Broadway in going and find a niche on the American markets, for the Dominica orange, the position of the Dominica time in the United States being already assured. Anthony Crawford, president and general manager of the company, powers for the Dominica orange the first shipment forward to this market it is expected, early in November. He will ship 200 to 250 packages in the cargo and will experiment with boxes and barrels to see which package takes best with the trade in the matter of the Dominica orange, which Mr. Crawford claims is similar to the Porto Rico orange but superior in flavor and keeping qualities. The season lasts till the end of March or the middle of April, and during its course Mr. Crawford expects to ship, if market conditions do not prove unaward and so discourage him, some (OLD) barrels of Dominica oranges and may be more. Mr. Crawford says he will pay special attention to grading and packing, and will strive to establish a brand that guarantees quality of quality. The company's shipments will be handled here by the E. R. Brackett Co. who will dispose of them at auction or throw them out at private sale, as seems judicious. The freight rate from Dominica is cheap, fifty cents, and the duty a cent a pound. Mr. Crawford also goes to Dominica with a plan mapped out in his brain to regulate the time business somewhat along the same lines as the Bermuda growers are regulating their onion business. His plan is to organize the shipping while there are no shipments from Dominica, there are only nine or ten shipments—in an association similar to the Bermuda Association, and so regulate currents and prices. The lime receivers of this city will await the results of Mr. Crawford's propaganda in Dominica with much interest, and will certainly not object to any plan which will reduce the loading of lime on the roads. The authorities willIVATE the trouble they have always encountered in the past----of being confronted with either a light or a famine. TESTIMONIAL TO DR.

GROOMS "Man of Action" The happiest wayfarer who sets foot upon the shores of our sister borough, the town of business who seeks fortune in New York, is the gentleman who is doubtless familiar with an elongated gentleman of color, who haunts the highways and byways, even the hedges remote, where the sun shines brightly and the moquettes flourish all the time. That young man of the wry frame and the attitudinal head is Campbell S. Grimes. Maybe he carries within himself a sense of the world he inhabits, no brazen armor and no rides no foaming steel. Grimes is a business man. He represents a corporation in which the corporation has good. Ruying been one of the original founders, he became a director of the Great Northern Realty Company, and then proceeded to build a factory where the stock is his daily occupation and, by way of diversion, he sells homes. Grimes can supply buyers as fast as the company can supply homes and the company can furnish the building in Flipping and other places. When not on the road streams can be a big problem. After a 120-foot avenue, but built on a large ellentacle, he is kept constantly on the go, thereby causing his splendid young wife to suffer from a chronic stression life. His associates are proud of his achievements and he is proud of his company's proct. As a splendid example, he can do this same Campbell & Greer KINK·NE A Beautiful Hair Dressing and Tonic for the Hair! PROF. ROBERTS, New York City.

Address of the corporation and its officers, 7 and 8 Chatham Square, New York, N. Y. Governor Swanson Speaks Governor Swanson, of Virginia, addressed the National American Bankers' Association at Atlantic City recently on "The South." He said in part: "The freeing of slaves cost the South $1,000,000,000 and at the close of the war the ballot was given to the vicious and debased, but after years of self-sacrifice we have recovered." By legislation we have practically eliminated the Negro from Southern politics. We will stand together on this question as we have never stood on any other. We will treat the Negro kindly, but so help us God, we will hold him in his place for his own good and for the South's salvation." Governor Swanson, we regret to state, is a back number, as the extracts from his Atlantic City address show. He should stay South with such utterances. They do no good anywhere. Aside from this, what he says is pure rot. Where is the Negro's place? Did Governor Swanson not know that while he was delivering this address an Afro-American, in the person of John A. Mitchell, Jr., a bank president of his own State, and a member of the National American Bankers' association for a number of years, was in the audience? The time has come if the South ever expects to produce statements, for it to put men in office who will rise above petty trickery and juggery in speech and action. Secretary of Peace In an interview at Tokyo, Secretary Taft made this statement: America and Japan always will be friends. The necessity for arms in trade is something we do not recognize. I speak as the Secretary of War of America and also as the Secretary of Peace. What a happy anticipation there is in the paragraph and what a splendid remark it is. There is the breath of joy and friendship in it, so much so, that it must make the jingoes wince. Secretary of Peace! There is a grander thing than being Secretary of War. And everybody will be glad that the influence of our great secretary will go out everywhere in opposition to war. That remark is bigger than The Hague tribunal. It will do more for peace than $1,000,000 affair did. And that quiet little observation—we won't recognize a war on trade's account—it is enough to make an epoch in history. The Hague people gerry-mandered around that little point of international policy for months, and here comes our big secretary and lays down the gospel in a dozen words. It will teach a great lesson. It will create universal sentiment. The people will decide that killing men and crushing women's hearts, to collect somebody's debts, is a game that even kings won't be allowed to play at. And then the fine impression it has made upon Japan is a great deal to be thankful for. It is a great thing for a nation to have statement whose hearts beat for peace. Facts or Fiction We at little old New York have been patting ourselves on the backs about the superiority of our public schools and the fairness and justice of their administration, but Prof W E B Du Bois, from Atlanta, Ga., dropped in our midst, and before the Brooklyn Institute on September 25, told us of an amazing discovery. New York should see that its children are given good 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. If there does exist the single instance of this "outragious treatment from teachers"—and we very much do it where lies the fault—is it with the city or with the supervising principals of with the Board of Education. Or is it with the parent, who knowingly permits such a condition, when the remedy is within easy reach? No reasonable pro- test or complaint, made to the proper authorities of our educator board, is ever ignored and equal justice is accorded to all, regardless of face, etc., in the investigations of protests and complaints. We will have to continue to doubt the accuracy of this remarkable measure until the professor brings to Mr. something more tangible than there words." The record of our public school sys. Love with special reference to the Ncgroup children, and the Negro teachers as well, for the past ten or twelve years has been a living example of "equality before the law" for all communities to emulate and we who know "dr. New York" a little better than Prof. DuBois, are justly proud of our schools. The professor tells us also that "... so long as I find difficulty in getting a simple meal of virtuals in New York, you can hardly cavil at Atlanta." It is quite probable "that Mr. DuBois when in New York forgets that he is not in Atlanta—around meal time at least—and is fearful of being refused service in public eating places. We who live here don't seem to have much trouble getting any kind of meal we can afford, simple or otherwise. Atlanta is a long way off from which to study conditions in New York, professor. Kicking Alas, the inevitable has happened. The smouldering fires of chronically disgruntled and incompatible personalities within the "Niagara Movement" have at last burst asunder the roaring, splashing mountain. At last the Brutus and the Cassius of "manhood rights" have quarreled in the tent, and the noble Romans, including the general secretary and the secretary for Massachusetts, have squelched their seething, frothing mouthpiece, The Boston Weekly. To be direct, we get it from the last issue of The Boston Guardian that DuBois, Morgan, Forley, Terris, Grimke and Gaines have read the mad editor and his weekly fit out of the ranks of the useful and have then added the last straw by joining hands with the sensible Bostomians, headed by William H. Lewis and Samuel E. Courtney. Long since we came to the conclusion that this organization of obstructionists and destructionists, however landable many of its high and utopian aims, which was founded purely as a kicking machine against conservative and constructive race building, must eventually disintegrate from the inertia of its own ravings. We are happy to congratulate these able men on this final step, by common sense in repudiating the design mischief-makers and loud-mouthed doctrines of the life of Trotter, Scott and Ransom. We are truly gratified that these gentlemen have asserted themselves unwilling to be longer mi-represented and we shall expect to hear in the future from Boston in a different and in its own true high light. Nevertheless, we are compelled to philosophize thus briefly on kicking. The day of purely destructive effort has passed. A well-timed and well-directed kick is wholesome and called for on occasion. But artificial, chronic, distance kicking always falls far short of the mark, and, as in this case, acts like a boomerang. It has from the days of ancient history gained for the animal with long ears the stigma and eminence of mankind. Just so it has it with men, as the case in hand splendidly illustrates, pure unadulterated kicking and destruction has had the negative effect of believing the intelligence and worth of the offenders, of dwarring the intellect and the efforts of the sufferers and of arousing the antagonism rather than the thoughtful consideration of their fellow men. Kickets, get in step with the party of progress and let us ascend the summit together, stepping upwards always and kicking down hill, only incidentally and when judicious and necessary Cotton King The cotton crop of the United States for this year, is so great that when sold the money received will be sufficient to pay cash for all the grain, all of the provisions, all of the food stuff, all of the steel and all of the iron of the forty-seven States of this great Union, exported last year, and still there would remain a balance in cash from the sale of 1907's cotton crop to capitalize 200 national banks. When it is considered that cotton is produced in the South only, this means a tremendous blessing for the South, and any financial blessing that comes to the South cannot help but rebound to the benefit of our race. It is the sturdy, industrious blacks who tend the cotton plantations. It's the coming blacks of the South whose labor produces a commodity which, converted into cash, yields sufficient to pay cash for all our combined exportations. Cotton is king, and the Southern Negro makes this king possible. It is logical to conclude that king makers will exert and receive just tributes from the king they make. It is logical to conclude that a large proportion of the revenues derived from the cotton production goes into the packets of our own blood and kin in the South. A Hint to the Wing A delegation of colored men, all claiming to be Republican partisans, and a few of whom boasted the distinction of membership in the Republican County Committee, waited upon Tammany Leader Charles F. Murphy last week in behalf of Mr John J. Halligan, an aspirant for nomination to one of the jurieships in the Court of General Sessions. Mr Halligan is a Tammany Hall politician who was defeated for Congress last year by Hofk J. Van Vechten --- THE NEW YORK AGE: THURSDAY OCTOBER 10, 1907. Mr. Murphy was informed by the spokesmen that, in the event of Halligan's nomination, the Democratic party in the county would be certain to poll at least seventy-five per cent. of the colored vote for its entire ticket, so popular is Halligan with the brothers in black. While such a declaration from such a source must certainly have been a revelation to the astute boss of Fourteenth street his surprise and wonder are best described in his own words: "Why, gentlemen, I was under the impression that your mission was in behalf of a man of your own race." In other words, why is Halligan? We wonder if the gentlemen who comprised the delegation, after this broad hint, are not wiser, if not better, men. The position of janitor or caretaker of office buildings and flats was once deemed as bordering near the line of menial occupations as to be unworthy of acceptance by the average white man. Hence, the colored brother, in such large cities as New York, held the job for many years, and if prudent and thrifty, put by a competency for his declining years. But with the coming of the skyscraper, the whites discovered that there was money in the job; the title of superintendent was devised to redeem it from its previous ignominy, and the old race of colored janitors was crowded to the wall. As the veterans retired, few of their own race succeeded them and most of the new office buildings were manned by white help from the haughty brass-battled superintendent down to the humbleest cleaner. The vacation of the old-time janitor has been raised to the rank of a profession and the caretakers' course for superintendents and janitors of apartment houses and office buildings, is scheduled as an educational feature of the Y M. C. A. The scope of the course has been increased recently by adding instruction in various phases of practical engineering which are met with in large buildings. It is expected that this course will prove of real value to a large number. It is gratifying to note that the men of the race are not blind to the opportunities for advancement offered in the wider field of caretaking and that there are exceptional cases of individuals securing lucrative and responsible posts in the new skyscrapers being erected. ```markdown ``` The Cleveland (Ohio) Journal has come out flatfooted on the side of President Roosevelt, and incidentally on the side of Secretary Taft. In a very cleverly written editorial it differentiates between a practical friend, like the President, and possible enemies. Without attempting, or desiring, to detract one iota from Senator Foraker's credit, it renders unto the President the credit he so justly deserves. The Journal's course may not please the slon H. C. Smith and his personal organ, The Cleveland Gazette, but the fact that The Cleveland Journal has the colored people of Cleveland with it must be accepted as indicating that it but voices the sentiment of its constituency. The Cleveland Journal is also supporting Congressman Burton for mayor of that city, while the Gazette, H.C. Smith's paper, is opposing him. How the Gazette can harmonize its opposition to Mr. Burton with an honest, unselfish and consistent support of Senator Foraker, in view of the fact that Senator Foraker himself publicly announced his willingness to assist Mr. Burton in the effort to wrench Cleveland from the grasp of Democracy and Johnsonism, is beyond the ken of the uninitiated. One thing is certain. The Gazette's course is not at the behest of Senator Foraker. The senator never bolt his portals' nominees, and never well. He himself hath said it: The new departure of the South in inviting foreign immigration to supplant the tried and true black labor of that section is already bearing bitter fruit. Trouble is reported at Sumurall, Miss. between the natives and the Italians, growing out of the opposition of the natives to Italian children attending the white public school. A leader among the Italians, who invested on the rights of his people, was taken beyond the town limits, soundly thrashed and ordered to desist in his efforts to get Italian children into the white schools. There is much excitement in Sumurall, where the people fear that the Italians will attempt to take revenge for the outrage. This extension of Southern in tolerance toward another race is bound to further complicate the Southern problem and provoke new discussion of the question, is the white South civilized? A famous example of discrimination is cited in Montgomery, Ala., where the City Council, which recently said that Negroes cannot ride in the same street cars with whites, has refused to license any Negroes to sell liquor in the city. It is argued that the Negroes cannot keep order. The same thing is probably true of many of the drinking places kept by whites, but they are licensed just the same. Perhaps the Prohibition wave now sweeping over Alabama may deny any licenses at all, and the only liquor sold will be by the "bootlegger" and "speakeasy" as in other Prohibition communities. Boston, Oct. 7.—Mr. Joahua A. Crawford, of Ward 1, is a candidate for the State Legislature. In recent years the Afro-Americans of Boston have nearly all moved from the West End of the city to the South End, and a large proportion of them have taken up their residence in the Eighteenth Ward. Mr. Crawford is a former owed voters of this ward. Mr. Crawford is hopeful of election. He is a business man and is liked by citizens of the ward of both races. There are two political organizations among Afro-Americans in Massachusetts. One made up strictly of Republicans and pretty closely allied with the Republican State Committee. This organization is known as the Colored Men's Republican League of Massachusetts. The other is made up largely of Democrats, and is known as the New England Suffrage League. The latter held a convention in Hartford, Conn. The convention, which discussed which characterizes the leaders of this organization was indulged in. Resolutions condemning the President, Secretary Taft, Governor Guild and every other Republican who has been conspicuous during the past twelve months were unanimously held. The editor of the local weekly newspaper in Boston is incensed over a recent banquet given by William H. Lewis, Esq. to Dr. W. E. B. Du Bois, at the Boston Club. It appears that the banquet took place with that and power with such men as Clement G. Morgan, George Washington Forbes and Archibald H. Grimke. He has put these three men down as generals without an army, and paraded Mr. Grimke as the editor of *cooker* Washington's local magazine. If Dr. Washington magazine in fact knew nothing about him, in fact we did not know that he owned a magazine anywhere. An Echo Meeting of the Northeastern Federation was held by Queen, Esther Circle at the Harriet Tubman House, 21 Hollygate street, Thursday evening last.

PHILADELPHIA, Oct 7 — Charles Gibson and Stephen Dorsey, the Negroes convicted of killing Mrs. Frances Horner on the Browning road farm, near Camden, August 20, and who were the first murderers to be sentenced in the State of New Jersey to die by electricity in the new death chamber at Trunion, are seemingly resigned to then fate. Sheriff Samus recently appointed Constables Peter and Bates, the deaf watch of the condemned men, Lawyer Donges, who defended Dorsey, stated that he was considering the accessibility of taking an appeal in the prisoner's behalf. HIS OWN STATE. From The Odd Fellows Journal. It appears that one regiment of the United States Colored Troops, stationed in the Philippines, is to be returned to this country. There has recently been shown much opposition by Northern communities to the presence of these black defenders of the nation's flag. The President shows courage as well as wisdom in having them stationed in his town, the towns of Oswego and Waterton. Since the dissatisfaction without honor of that battalion of the Twenty-fifth Infantry, we as a race have not been disposed to look with favor upon anything the President has said or done. We are still of the opinion that a grave injustice was done in dismissing these men which we hope and believe will some day be righted as nearly as possible, but we must commend the President for being man enough to take his own medicine and at the same time not showing any disposition to retaliate upon his disposition fellow citizens for the well-nigh universal condemnation which he received at their hands. When Theodore and none of his Governors of New York and none of his Governors of New York would entertain, Mr. Harry Burleigh would ordered ten, he made him his guest at the executive mansion. When it was claimed by Southern statesmen that he was forcing Dr. Crum as Collector of the Port at Charleston, S. C., on a Southern community when he would not dare do such a thing in the North, he stood his ground, and by way of reply, appointed the well-known colored orator and politician, Charles W. Anderson, Collector of Internal Revenue for New York city, the richest district in America, and threw in W. H. Lewis, of Boston, Mass., as Assistant United States District Attorney for good measure. Now he does not ask other Northern States to do so unless Oswego, but takes them home himself. We should continue to insist that the square deal be given the soldiers who have been discharged without honor and without evidence, we should also give the President credit for being actuated by right motives. It takes a great deal moral courage for the President of the nation to put his ideas on the Negro question in practical demonstration at his own home. HOW THEY EDUCATE THE BLACKS. Injunlce in Distribution of School Fund in the South. From The Old Fellows' Journal a favorite theme of Southern orators and writers is the magnanimity displayed by the Southern white people in turning turbulent schools into that section. An attempt has been made in several Southern States to appropriate for colored schools only the taxes paid by colored people for that purpose. In each instance wise heads among the white people have stopped it. The reason is now becoming known. If colored people continue in the next ten years to increase their real estate holdings at their present rate, the taxes paid on them will be very much more than is necessary. In 1906, there were pears that within a very short time in most Southern States the black man's taxes will be used to educate white children as is now being done in South Carolina, according to the following statement which cannot be contradicted: South Carolina is not a believer in Negro education. Its school reports show that for the year ending June 1906, there were enrolled 147,023 white children in its public schools, or 24,000 more than there were white children. The cost of maintaining these schools were $1,385,561.1. For the same year 170,022 Negro children were enrolled in its public schools, or 24,000 more than there were white children. The appropriation for these colored pupils was only $250,766, or about one-sixth of the amount appropriated for the white children. The injustice of these figures is all the more apparent when the state paid during that year $175,175 in school taxes so that $154,440 of the money contributed by them to the costs of education was appropriated to the use of the white children. FORTY YEARS GROWTH Attention Called to Remarkable Exhibit at Exposition From The Springfield Republican Helen N. Tucker in Charities and the Commons, calls attention to the remarkable showing made of forty years growth by the Negro in the "Negro Building" at the Jamestown Exposition it is indeed true that general attention should be called to the contribution of the colored race it wholly and solely belongs to Negroes on white men had been given by the Negro at Washington, W. Sidney Patterson graduate of Tuskegee and Drexel institutes, the contract for the building was taken by Negroes, even the timber was supplied by a Negro firm. All financial and business matters, including the collection and setting of exhibits were in the hands of an executive committee of three Negroes appointed by government to supervise the exhibition of the $100,000 congressional appropriation. Its chairman was able to announce on the day of the exhibition that were paid and there was $10,000 left of the appropriation. Considering the house ends always expected in affairs of this order at expositions, this record is truly remarkable. The educational, agricultural, business, literary and artistic exhibitions, which represented some 2,000 exhibitors, were such as won admiration. The estimated attendance on "Negro Day" was about 10,000 Negroes and 1,000 whites, "very few of whom showed any interest in the exercises," Tucker remembers, "all one case of death disordered thereby was reported on that day, and that a year ago at the Georgia State Fair, with an attendance of over 40,000 Negroes, there was not one arrest for intoxication.

Taylor Interprets the Language of Wall Street. As every workman has his tools, so has every profession its own language. Wall Street is no exception to that rule. As the writer attempted to tell in last week's issue of The Age something about Wall Street. What it is, and its function in our civilization—he endeavors in this article to acquaint the readers of The Age with the language of Wall Street. The following is not meant to be an unbridled edition of the language of Wall Street, but simply a working knowledge of that language. Two Wall Street terms that are on the lips of everyone are "bulls" and "bears." What is a "bull"? A "bull" is one who believes that the market is going to rise and who does what he can to bring to higher prices, by buying stocks or by using his influence to persuade the public generally. A "hear" is one who believes that prices are going lower and who does what he can to depress the market, by circulating pessimistic reports and by selling "short." A "lamb" is an outsider who goes into Wall Street thinking that he knows it all, but soon finds himself shorn—both of his money and of his conceit. "Buying on a margin," or "marginal trading," is buying a stock and paving thereon only a part of the purchase price. In many instances as little as five per cent. of the cost of the stock is paid. What the buyer does not pay the broker borrows and puts up the buyer's declines in value equal to the amount of the "margin" paid up by the buyer, the "margin" is wiped out. In other words the buyer loses what he has paid on the stock. Practically all accounts carried by "bucket shops" are "marginal" accounts. A "huckle shop" is a fake broker's office where orders, are seldom executed, are received to buy and sell stock. In plain language it is nothing more nor less than a gambling den where bets are inside against customers that stocks advance or decline. If a customer buys for a stock, the customer buys advances, the customer wins. If it declines in value equal to the amount of "margin" put up, he loses. To illustrate a customer gives an order to buy fifty shares of a certain stock at $60 per share. The "huckle shop" reports the purchase at the given price, whereupon the customer deposits a margin of $50 in cash. If the customer drops five points or five dollars, "huckle shopper" will sell the customer out. That is to say, the "huckle shopper" pretends that he has sold the stock, but in reality he has sold nothing, for the reason that he never bought it, but the result is the customer loses $250. The favorite method employed by "bucket shoppers" to rob their customers is "washing" or "matching orders." In such cases one "bucket shopper" goes on the run with the performance of buying from a friend or the performance of buying from a bucket shopper" the particular stock of what he buys to rob his customer. If a customer buys, his stock is "washed" down. If he sells "short," his stock is "washed" up. A "wash side" as can be gathered from the foregoing paragraph is a fictitious side. Selling "short" is selling what one does not own. For instance, a broker sells for a customer 100 shares of a certain stock at $1 per share. As the customer does not own such a stock the broker borrows it from a friendly broker to deliver to the purchaser of the stock. If the stock declines to $1 per share the broker buys back 100 shares for $100 the same stock that was sold for $100—thus making by the transaction $100, less commission paid the broker. If, however, the stock which was sold for $100 advances to $6 per share and the broker who borrowed the stock is called upon to return it, then the customer for whom the stock was sold at $6 per share, or $100, must either put up another hundred dollars of his broker will buy 100 shares at $6 per share for the custom or $100, thus that the custom buyer backs stock for $600 which he sold for $100, thus losing on the transaction $100, plus the commission of his broker. Because of the danger attaching to "marginal" trading and to "short" selling an eminent Wall Street financier gave this sage advice "Don't buy what you cannot pay for. Don't sell what you haven't got." "Wild cat stock," "cats and dogs" and "pups" have reference to stocks of a dubious or worthless character which represents deflations' value. "Amalgamated Copper is said to have $52,000,000 worth of "watered" stock because it has a capitalization of $155,000,000 on properties for which it paid only $0,000,000. "V put" practically, is a bet that the price of a stock will decline A "call" is a bet that the price of a stock will advance A corporation "passes" its dividends when it does not pay them. When a stock is sold "ex dividend" the buyer does not receive the dividend. A "bull market" is an advancing market. A "bear market" is a declining market. Having told in the preceding article what Wall Street is; and having explained in this article some of the terms most frequently used in Wall Street, the writer will discuss in his next article the different kinds of stocks and bonds that are bought and sold in Wall Street, and their relative safety as investment propositions. Ronald W. TAYLOR Money Leader Killed 11. (10) Ms. Ma, Sept. 11, Jesse Brayant, a young white man, was killed at the plant of the Plants' Chemical Company by a Negro, Qlie Barley.

Joe will be the coach of the squash meal is about as hard to obtain as a square deal. To get the tariff "revised by its friends" is just about as stiff a proposition as to get a doting mother to lambast an offending child. "It may be bad," says the fond parent, "but it's ours." The editor of The Indianapolis Freeman, speaking from personal experience, denies Dr. Olser's assertion that there is no nourishment in soup. If you have ever lived in Indianapolis and boarded at Beastley Beaury, where soup is the title of the chef, the Freeman has done many and many a time, you will assist him in characterizing the uninitiated M. D. as a falsifier, or in describing him by a "shorter but uglier word." "Near journalists rave over the Japanese wrestler, Taniomie Hitachiyama, as being "refreshingly original" because he says he "doesn't care what the newspapers say of him, just so they say something." The aforesaid "near journeyman" who such an attitude strange have probably never heard of Col. Giles B. Jackson. The colored man who is able to get on the board of trade in a first-class city is not apt to be referred to as an object lesson of the helpless, downtrodden Negro. Education proves its value when it helps a man to do something worth while. If colleges do not hurt real men, nor do they make fools of people. They teach the real man to know himself, and expose the fool for what he was when he came. Director-General Barr announces the headship of the Caucasian end of the Jamestown Exposition because things do not run as smoothly as he thinks they ought to. Isn't it a delightful reflection that a little thing like a war of words have no such deadly effect upon either Piranian J. Calloway or Col. Giles Browne? The Evening Times of Washington, D.C. has lost 2,000 Negro customers in four months. It announces that it "does not cater to the trade of the colored people" and they are letting the sheet alone. The Times is the recognized organ of the "po' whites" of the National Capital and never has a good word for the Negro. Secretary Straus is planning for a meeting of the Peace Commission in Washington. It is hoped that Grand Master W. W. Houston and Grand Treasurer R. J. Davis, the militant officer of the Great Guild Order of Odd Fellows, can be induced to appear before that august tribunal and patch up a trace that shall be equitable alike to each. THE NEGRO EDITOR. Auditor Tyler Takes Off His Hat to His To the Editor of THE New York Acr. Here is one of the finest complimentaries I have ever heard a colored man pay to colored newspapers. The other day, in discussing colored newspaper with a part of friends Hon R W. Tyler auditor of the Navy, was asked his opinion of colored newspaper, and replied: 'Whether he is for or against me, I rather be commands or condemn his. I rather buy my hat to the Negro editor, for the hat of the class of colored business men who contend with greater odds, and none contend more valuably. There is less chance, immensely less, for financial success in conducting a Negro newspaper than any other business, and for that reason the men engaged in it are real patriots. Some of them, sometimes make mistakes, but when you consider their handicaps, the lack of support and appreciation the race gives them, it is remarkably the mistakes are reduced to the minimum rather than reaching the maximum. Negro newspapers, as a rule, are the salt of the earth, and we should buy more salt.' This comes from a colored man, who all his life was connected with a fine conglomerate. I consider a fine conglomerate and worthy of being paid it, don't you? WwI I SIMMONS A Pen Artlet in Brooklyn. David B. FULLER Brooklyn, N. Y. September 20, 1997. Mrs. Brindle Now. Mary. I want want to be careful. This is some old table linen been in the family for over two hundred years, and— Mary. A! sure, unam, you needn't worry. I won't tell a soul, and it looks so good to now, anyway —Philadelphia Innion 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. akeries, and to find so much bad man circulation. The disrespect shown, this a Catholic country, to priests and tellers is astounding to American Cath it is amusing to see persons who are stated arguing and even resisting the while a crowd invariably takes side of the prisoner. It is remarka- that the most unscatchable and most smelling matches in the world are de in France (a government monop- 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.

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.

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.

NO DAY AT JAMESTOWN 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.

Lincoln Shower Club of Brooklyn Linen Shower Club of Brooklyn. On Thursday evening of last week, the Linen Shower Club held its regular monthly meeting at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. William Gale, 407 Carlton avenue, the occasion also being the crystal anniversary of their marriage.

Franklin, comic reading; Miss Crutchfield, recitation; Mrs. Lavenia Winter, reading. Following the programme Mr. and Mrs. Gale gave a talk and were remarried by the Rev. Dr. William T. Dixon, who wished them God speed and many more years of wedded bliss. Mrs. Gale was then folded and the club members, headed by the president, Mrs. Misty Bridger, fifty-six beautiful pieces of linen. The bride and groom, followed by Dr. Dixon, were then unhersed downstairs where covers were laid for seventy-five.

Besides the linen Mr. and Mrs. Gale received a number of pictures and cut glass. The Linen Shower Club was organised in April, 1908, by Miss Hester Bradley with the help of the committee fifty.

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.

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. P . by Money Order or Registered Letter see find enclosed us first payment (4.00) per share.

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 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.

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. The Minston of Letttern.

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. Hidgwood Notes. Mrs. Thomas, of this village, has purchased a lot from the A. M. E.

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.

D., of Bucketak, THE NEW YORK AGE: THURSDAY, OCTOBER 10, 1907 FRATERNAL NEWS OF THE ELKS News of Local Worship, New Lodge Institution—Convention Reports. On August 9, Brother State Deputy John A. Black, with his official suite, including Brothers R. L. Phillips, G. E. L., P. E. R.; J. E. Remis, acting grand esteemed loyal knight; H. H. O. Burwell, E. R., acting grand esteemed lecturing knight; Loyd F. Whetton, P. E. R., acting grand secretary, and ably assisted by Antlers of Pioneer Lodge, No. 19, Boston, Mass., instituted and installed Pocahontas Lodge, No. 129, Cambridge, Mass. The new lodge comprises the best, oldest and most intelligent young men of Cambridge, and bids fair to be a most successful lodge. The following officers were elected: S. Dunbar, Exalted Ruler; James De Knight, Esteemed Leading Knight; James E. S. Epps, Esteemed Loyal Knight; Charles Watkins, Esteemed Lecturing. Knight; Arthur J. 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.

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.
