Protests on Floor of Convention Are in Vain, but Delay Proceedings Until Midnight For Supreme Court—M. Linn Bruce (Rep.) For General Sessions—Charles S. Whitman (Rep.), Nathan Vidiver (L. L.) and Melvin G. Palliser (L. L.) For City Court—W. H. Wadhams (Rep.), Isador Wasservogel (Rep.) Douglas Mathewson (Rep.), James A. Donegan (I. L.), Edwin F. Merrill (L. L.) and Henry C. F. Stimson (I. L.) For Sheriff-Maximilian Ihmsen (L. L.) This is the ticket which the Republicans and the Independence League organizations agreed to support at their county and judicial conventions last Friday night. The nomination of the candidates was accomplished in the face of unexpected opposition on the part of the leaders in the Republican organization, and a decision to accept the Independence League candidates was not reached till long after midnight. The delegates to the Republican convention fought over the issue for more than three hours before a conference committee was selected from the Independence League, which held its convention at the Carnegie Lyceum and spent most of the evening in waiting upon the Republicans, in readiness to accept any proposition that would give the League six out of the eleven candidates. When the convention assembled Charles K. Lexow was made chairman. In his speech he declared that the object should be to nominate a ticket that would meet with the approval of the vast body of Republicans and independent voters of the city who were committed to reelection of the community. He declared that the Tarmany ticket merited censure. President Parsons took the floor at once and offered the resolution to appoint the committee of five to confer with the Independence League crowd. He made a long speech defending his plan. The speech was heard in silence. "This is a municipal year," said Chairman Parsons and the mayor. Independence is minority party. Only on great occasions has it succeeded and then generally by the help of others. The invertebrate foe of the local Republican forces and the invertebrate foe of the welfare of the city is Tammany Hall. To save the city we must defeat Tammany Hall. Shall we accept the cooperation of others? We have the serious question before us whether the men now adoring the bench shall be reeled or further we being the minority party. Shall supinely see them go to defeat. Chairman Parsons "praised Justice Bruce and Whitman and Wadhams as men worthy of the bishop." He said that by appointing them Governor Hughes had tried to raise the standard of the judiciary. Shall we keep that standard raised or see it go down? Shouted Mr. Parsons, "I will be responsible for this, and I shall fight for what I believe is for the best interests of the party and the city." After the conference committee reported to the convention, little time was lost in ratifying the slate. Among the delegates, who defended Mr. Krause in his mission plan were Senator Alfred Page and Mr. Gilchrist Stewart. DEATH OF W. H. EFFORT. Four Prominent New Haven People Die in Past Week.

October 11, Partie, when the sherriff said, were unknown to them took three Negroes from jail at an early hour to day and lynched them. The bodies of two were found dangling from telegraph poles in front of the station, the third was in the woods, his body full of bookstuff. No one will tell how the mob got into the jail. His movements did not attract a person in the town, although the lynching took place in the heart of the community. The Negroes were arrested Wednesday, charged with burglary at Robinsonville, and brought to Tumica. They confessed, it is said, to being member of an organized band of Memphis Negroes that have robbed stores in many towns in Mississippi. Tumica has suffered more than any other community, several men being wounded, and this, it is thought, incited the mob to take matters in its own hand.

American championship, defeating call of the other three clubs in the league three out of five games with the ceppe they played only three games with when they played only three games with the two of the three. The champion played 123 games, winning 96 losing 26 and playing one to The difficulty of obtaining such an properties for church work among the Afrie Americans was the principal subject of discussion at the quarterly session of the North Philadelphia P.I. convention in the Covenant church at 27th street and Griged assent on Thursday. The discussion was brought up by Rev. Kev McDutty, who has charge of St. Augustine's mission at Broad and Green streets. For a month he could little help had he been compelled to hold services in the church because the antipathy to the Afrie Americans can race made it almost impossible to secure a proper location. "As soon he said, 'the people learn that we want ground or property for an Afrie American church they refuse to sell, and I have canvassed the centre section in which we want to build a church without finding one who would rather be sold. Even properties that are advertised for sale are refused it as common our purpose is learned.'" The conversation decided to take action in the matter and help to obtain a site for a church. James Britton, an Afrie American businessman, also idea the site he owns, 15 businessmen, and finest materials, one set of seventy clothes, one dinner set, a metal ultrafashionable fall and winter overcoat, and two fine walking sticks. Another Post Office Appointment Arthur L.

Grimke's Address on the Dead Poet Newdealer Who Does a $10,0,0 Business in Periodicals Yearly —Interesting Meeting of the Sherwin Wiley School Association. Bostox, Oct. 16.—Hon. Archibald H. Grimke; ex-United States Consul-General at Santo Domingo, delivered an eloquent address on the subject: "Paul Laurence Dunbar, the Poet," before an audience composed of the leading Afro-Americans of Boston at the St. Mark Musical and Literary Union last Sunday afternoon. Mr. Grimke's beautiful tribute to the dead poet was couched in elegant, poetic phrases and evidenced an intimate acquaintance with the brief career of Dunbar as well as with his spental works. In his opening paragraph, Mr. Grimke said: "Some people are born with silver spoons in their mouths, but he was more highly born, for he was born with a song in his heart. And the song in his heart he used to sing, although he lived not quite thirty years." Of the Afro-Americans engaged in independent business ventures in toston at the present time, one of the most popular is Mr. James R. Hamm, Mr. Hamm enjoys the distinction, moreover, or during the oldest business of its kind in the West End of the city. He is a newspaper and books, stationery and small goods owner, the growdward street is neat, but so entirely amputentive in appearance that the casual customers might not imagine that there is done in the establishment a business worn over $10,000 a year, Mr. Hamm's shop is a small one. The display of magazines, newspapers, popular novels and other goods is as good as any shop of the sort in that section of the city. Everything in this shop is systematically arranged. One is impressed with the miscellaneous character of Mr. Hamm's shop, one are one or two local pubs, a dwarf, an actor, a policeman, a woman with painted cheeks, a "tough" little children, and then a remaining number of just pam people. Most of these know sart, Hamm personally and exchange with him a few words of friendly greeting and thanks. Mr. Hamm is a man of middle age, medium height, strongly and stoutly joint with a hale, pleasant face. His manner is quiet, saint as to give the impression of being the same time very courteous. He talks slowly, but with excellent use of English, and with good reasoning. He is attractive, unsmiling and modest. Tatore he undertook his present business, of which he has made so great a success, Mr. Hamn has had quite a varied experience. He was born in Tennessee County, Virginia, near the midst of the century. His family had substantial independent interest to obtain for him some private education, first in Richmond and later in Washington He came North in his teens, and in pursuit of a number of purpose, managed to live in a number of cities. He had a good deal. For a time he sang in theatrical companies. He first came to this city in 1859, but soon left for New York where he secured a little experience in the business in which he is now engaged. He returned to Boston in 1851 and finally settled here in 1855. He did not at once go into his present business, but for two years ran a café on the Brunswick street in 1857 he made a start in his present business by buying out an old run down establishment in Cornbelt for the stock of which he paid $500. His business he rapidly built up an extent that in six years his business had grown to the value of $2000. His interests in rent decided him to move so that he be located on How are street, nest on the north side of it, but within a year in his present shop at where he has remained for the past post-bourne years.

Chicago Veterinary College Students Bluff Faculty—Merchant Employs Douglass Center Girls as Clerks CHICAGO, Oct. 14.—Has that noblest of animals, the horse, any race prejudice? We do not believe it has, but as much cannot he said of some people who have an ambition to be horse doctors. A few days ago a young colored man applied for admission as a student to one of the veterinary colleges of this city and was instantly and ruthlessly refused, simply because he was not fair enough in complexion. There was no other reason or objection given to this eager applicant for an opportunity to become a veterinary surgeon. The president of the institution, the sick horses and the applicant were all abundantly willing. In ordinary cases these would seem to constitute a majority. In interests, at least, but some of the students, who apparently were more white than sensible, objected, and their objection alone was sufficient to slam the door of opportunity in the face of the unfortunate colored elephant. (He did not but feel some spite for the poor, narrow-souled little fellows who dare not trust themselves in the presence of their fellow men for fear that competition may result in their own humiliation. The action of the majority of the officials of this veterinary college seems all the more ridiculous when it is remembered that in all the great universities and professional schools of this city colored students are freely admitted to come and go as far as their ability and money will carry them. Mrs. Celia Parker Woolley, of the Frederick Douglass Class, made a direct appeal to the faculty of the college and the most they would say was that they were really ashamed of themselves, but that they did not have the courage to do what was right for fear that such action might cause complaints from Southern students, whose patronage they greatly desired. It was a most pleasing and encouraging sight to see, a few days ago, in the windows of one of our largest book stores, a striking display of Dr. Booker I. Washington's popular book, "Working with the Hands." The entire space in the window was given up to the display of this book alone, grouped around a fine portrait of the author. Thousands of people eagerly looked and commented in terms that would cheer the soul of every discouraged son and daughter of the Noo race. This book, as well as all the books the aname to be found in the homes of thousands of people and wherever they are read respect for the race is increased and strengthened. It is not too much to say that the books written by the Tuskegee leader are among the most widely read books in this part of the reading world. His "Up from Slavery" and "Working with the Hands" have been put in the hands of thousands of young boys and girls just merging into manhood and womanhood. The Frederick Douglass Centre, of which mention has been frequently made in THE NEW YORK ACE, is an institution of growing influence and power in the community. It is destined to become increasingly helpful in widening the opportunities of employments for our young people. A few days ago Mrs Woolley, who is the president of the Centre, succeeded in persuading one of our big State Street merchants to give employment to two young colored girls, to regularly work. This is almost the same employment that a woman known to be colored has allowed to go behind the counter and wait on customers in a first-class store. These girls have been employed for some time and it is presumed that if their presence as clerks had driven away any customers or caused a threatened strike among their employees, their employment would have been cut Short. The fact of the matter is that the average customer in these large mercantile houses is willing to be served by anyone who can do it effectively and gracefully. Mrs Edward E. Wilson, nice Hattie Neris, met with a painful accident in the city of Cleveland, Ohio, her former home, a few weeks ago. While in the act of alighting from a street car her foot slipped on some obstruction on the road, to break one of her limbs, such a way to break one of her limbs, otherwise so seriously injured that she has been under a physician's care, and for several weeks. She is gradually improving and her many friends are repairing at her almost intractable scape from a more serious consequence of the fall. Some of the foreign delegates to the International Congress of Liberal Reactions that recently convened in Boston, Mass., came as far west as Chicago. In a large meeting held in the Abraham Lincoln Centre, one of the delegates seemed to have been here just long enough to become deeply interested in our race problem. As between the awful problem of the poor in London and the race problem in America, there was but scant opportunity for hoisting. It is quite clear that every race has a burden of some kind, some under dog, so to speak, to worry and tight about. The pride of some the poverty of others and the unpopular color of many others, are likely to worry mankind for many a day before the "Golden Rule" of human conduct shall cover the whole earth. We, as Afro-Americans, have everything to gain in the widening of human sympathies, growing out of the steady increase of religious tolerance. The men and women who greeted Dr. B. T. Washington at the International Congress a few daps ago are akin in spirit and inheritance to the men and women who at one time made it possible for Frederick Donglass to become one of America's heroes. FANNIE BARRIER WILLIAMS. TWO THEATRICAL SUCCESSES "In Bandana Land" and "The Oyster Man" Go Very Big. "The Oyster Man a knockout: Chow!" Ernest Hogan. "In Bandana Land is a hit."—Williams & Walker. Telegrams have been received from Williams & Walker and Ernest Hogan, in which the stars of the respective shows declare that they are more than making good with their new musical vehicles. The comedians of the two big Afro-American companies are highly elated over the success they are making and predict this will be the banner season of their histrionic careers. With Williams & Walker, under Ray Comstock, who, by the way, is a lieutenant of the Shubert forces, I am looking forward to their entree in first-class theatres very soon. However, up-to-date I have been very much disappointed with reference to same. So far I have not noticed that in such towns as Syracuse and New York, they forth at the same popular-price playhouses in Cleveland they appeared at the Lyceum Theatre—another popular-price theatre. Now if in Cincinnati they go to Heuck's Theatre, the question will necessarily arise in my mind—When will they make their managers live up to their contracts and play them in the very best houses? It is absolutely true that Williams & Walker last spring signed a contract with Comstock wherein it was stipulated that the two famous comedians are to get first class booking. Later, however, Comstock and the Shuberts to occupy the latter turning over to Klaw & Erlanger many of their theatres for vaudeville purposes. Now, whether this new condition of affairs has in any manner caused a bitch in Williams & Walker playing in first-class theatres remains to be seen. In conformity with their contract Williams & Walker put together a show of the Broadway variety. They are, I understand, raising the price of admissions in the popular-price houses; but what I have seen are the Shuberts, Comstock, et al., live up to their demands and give Williams & Walker the very best booking possible, as they meritoriously deserve. Before Ernest Hogan and his "Oyster Man" company left New York for Lima, O., where they opened over two weeks ago, the company gave a dress rehearsal at Hurting & Seamons's Metropolis Theatre. The sence began at midnight and lunch almost in clock the next day. Showings were gone through, but the fourteen or more musical numbers were rendered with the singers in costume. As for scenery and costumes, Hurring & Seamons have done themselves proud this season. A Broadway attraction could not ask for/better stage settings and costier stage clothes than have been provided the logan company. As asked several weeks ago, Cole & Johnson now under the management of Stair & Havin, and with new bookings are making another effort to hand on the rounds of the ladder of success. They opened in New York city last week at the West End Theatre, and the opening was an auspicious one. The two song writers had concluded to disband their "Shoo fly Regiment" Company and return to canville. In fact, the very large executive booking at a very large salary had taken a Bob Cole was carrying the contracts around in his pocket, when they were finally induced by Stair & Havin to "Try, try again" with the "Shoo fly Regiment".

PUBLIC SCHOOL FIGHT Heated Controversy Between Bruce and Chase Over School Affairs—Graft Charges Made—Investigations and Dismissals. WASHINGTON, Oct. 14.—The threatened revolt against the national administration on the part of the local colored Republicans has not yet, eventuated, and the organized effort to elect delegates from the District of Columbia pledged against the nomination of either Roosevelt or Taft shows no signs of early development. The only tangible result of the newspaper report of the so-called movement in the interest of Senator Foraker has been to solidify the friends of Roosevelt and Taft, and there are many evidences that the rank and file of the colored Republicans whose votes really count are friendly to the administration. Particularly is this true of the elected Taft, from this who are on the actualiring line by reason of the strenuous fight now being waged in the Buckeye State between the adherents of Taft and Foraker. Said a prominent Ohio politician to 11th No. man the "This alleged revolt against the administration on the part of the colored people is all pommyron. There are those who are not entirely satisfied with the way some things have been managed by the Republican leaders, but because all have not been able to get everything they wanted, is no argument in favor of kicking over the traces and playing into the hands of the Negro's inveterate enemies—the Democrats. Every one knows that as between Rosevelt and Taft on the one hand, and the Tillman-Vardaman-Davis democracy on the other, there has been a doggie. We are not and the truth of the matter is that we must not only labor to get what we can from our own party, but be careful to avoid the evils which the success of the opposition would bring about." The trouble in the public schools has again reached the boiling point. The controversy between Assistant Superintendent Roscoe Conkling Bruce and lawyer and editor W Calvin Chase over an alleged improper use of money in connection with certain appointments under the Board of Education, is still unsettled. Mr. Bruce reiterates his statement that money has evidently been used to influence, appointments as teachers, etc, and an order has been issued looking to the stoppage of attorneyship in the Board of Education, declaring made only on the basis of the fitness of the applicant. Mr. Chase has asked the removal of Mr. Bruce, alleging malicious misrepresentation of facts in connection with the case of Mrs. Mary Syphax Gibson. The matter has been referred to a committee of five, named by the Board of Education, and the end is not yet. It is gratifying to know that the accusation of irregularity in the examination and appointment of Mr W T. B. Williams as a supervising principal, has not been sustained. The Mattingly examining board and Mr Williams have been triumphantly vindicated—a joint victory for Mrs. Mary Church cerrel Dr. Dr. Bruce, Mrs. Junction F. Collins, the Board school, who admitted that he had been paying somebody $60 per month for securing his position, was dismissed, as was Engineer Monsieur, of the Armstrong Manual Training School, against whom a variety of charges had been filed.

Every individual who buys one or more of such shares is a stockholder, and the acquired certificate which he holds as showing the number of shares he owns is called stock. The owner of this stock is entitled to vote at the company's meetings and to participate in the company's profits after its fixed charges have been paid. There are two kinds of stock, namely common and preferred. Some companies issue only common stock. The stockholders of such companies participate in the surplus in proportion to their holdings. When preferred stock is issued the holders of common stock participate in the surplus remaining after paid. Preferred stock has a fixed rate or dividend attached. For example, the preferred stock of the United Stock Corporation is attached to it a dividend rate of 7 per cent. The dividends of preferred stock are cumulative. By cumulative dividends is meant the dividends which accumulate until paid. As an investment, therefore, preferred stock is regarded with more favor than common stock, and preferred stock with cumulative dividends stands higher with investors than preferred stock without such dividends. When the dividends of a stock do not accumulate they are said to be non-cumulative. Many times, however, the common stock of a company is more valuable than the preferred stock, because after the preferred stock has paid all fixed charges there is a surplus remaining large enough to pay larger dividends on the common stock and paid on the preferred stock. This is true of the common stock of the Union Pacific railroad, on which was paid a dividend of 10 per cent, some months ago. A bond represents a debt of a company, secured by a mortgage. Because the idea of "bond" is usually associated with that of "mortgage" the average investor is disposed to think that any bond is a safe investment. As a matter of fact, such is far from true. Every investor should be careful of income bonds, because interest on income bonds is paid out of the income of the company issuing the bonds. Too much attention, cannot be paid to the income of the company issuing such bonds. In the last analysis, a man who invests in an income bond is not unlike the man who who bonds money to another with the understanding that the borrower will pay the loan "if he makes the money with which to pay it". Debenture bonds should be regarded with caution, for the reason that they are nothing more than unsecured promises to pay. Collateral bonds, as a rule, are not regarded as good investments, for the reason that they are secured by pledges of stocks and bonds of other companies held by the company issuing them. A most recent example of collateral bonds is the United Steamship 4's, which are secured by the stocks and bonds of the various steamship lines which make up the consolidation. The highest form of bonds is the prior-lien bonds. They, as their name implies, take the precedence of all other bonds, even the first mortgage bonds. First, second and third-mortgage bonds need no comment, as they take rank in the order named. Another kind of bond which stands high among investors is the equipment bond. Such bonds are secured by a mortgage, the insolvent, and other debt of a railroad. Whatever other debt of a railroad may have an interest on their equipment bonds will not be affirmed. The mortgage bonds, price lien bonds, and equipment bonds, then represent the very cream of the investment market, because they safeguard the principal and assure the payment of the interest. There are many other kinds of bonds, but as this article is intended only to warn the readers of Titty Aao against the weakest, and to recommend to them the strongest kinds of bonds, the bet will not be further extended. It has been estimated that the aggregate wealth of the United States ap proximates $115,000,000,000. When it is stated that there are upward of 60,000 active corporations in this country, exclusive of banks and insurance companies, and that the par value of their stocks and bonds is about $21,000,000,000 or 29 per cent of the wealth of the richest nation in the world, it is not difficult to appreciate the large part that stocks and bonds play in the financial life of this nation, and how important it is that investors should be able, distinguishes between the good and the bad.

Williams was in charge of the program at the Young Men's Christian Association Next Sunday afternoon, and conducted a praise service which was declared to be one of the best for a long time. He was present, and the responses from different members, some of whom had been with the association from the beginning, were extremely helpful and encouraging. Mr. Williams declared that what the young men were doing to the prayers and efforts of those early members who used to go from house to house and from prayer meeting to prayer meeting, praying for the success of the work, and that prayer is still needed to keep it going. Of the meeting was the playing and singing of the young Messes, Ridol, who, Mr. Williams declared, were giving their lives for the upbringing of the young men of the white race. A special service was held for the West, the former sparring partner of Jogans, Mr. West said that before he was converted he devoted his powers to the knocking of the life of young men; now since his conversion he is going all over the West, the death of Mr. Williams, the former sparring partner of Jogans, and gave two selections from Paul Laurence Dunn's writings.

Christian Register THE NEW YORK AGE: THURSDAY, OCTOBER 17, 1907 BENKLEY A PROGRESSIVE CITY Splendid Showing of the People of This City—Individual Import. BERKLEY STATION, Oct. 15.—That part of Norfolk, now known as Brykley Station but better known as Berkley, because of its having been recently annealed to Norfolk, is one of the busiest and progressively larger towns, as commonly called, are awake to the advantages and opportunities which a thrifty section offers. They have ten churches, the majority of which are very handsome indeed, while the few are creditible exponents of the arts and sciences, ship, numerically considered. Corporate enterprises are wanting, but individual enterprises are in evidence. There are many stores owned and managed by citizens of color; a few woodyards to furnish fuel, three excellent colored physiccla, and scores of teachers and many preachers, all standing in the front rank among the foremost of the State. Individual effort is apparent at every point here. The ownership of homes is no common that the only question usually asked about a residence, be it ever so handsome, is, whether it is a house. The answer to the question is almost invariably the name of the owner of the place. Herkley may be most favorably spoken of for its industry, thrift and intelligence, and the colored citizen has just pride in his contribution to the wealth and intelligence of the place has been a wise one, since he has increased his own holdings and sought to candidate his own ignorance. He is right reasonably ask. Where are those evidences of thrift and enterprise so much spooned or here? The answer to such might be given very readily by pointing to the homes owned by citizen of color and to the office of the mayor. The answer to give his child every educational advantage which it is in his power to give. The average colored citizen of this section thinks first of individual effort; the average colored citizen of this section united effort from church and lodge, to which, it is granted, he must belong. Norfolk County, of which Berkley has been a part until recently, represents a population of color whose material possession, individually, surpasses that of any other county. The effort at accumulation has been accumulated, and the colored citizen has, first of all, made some preparation for the future welfare of himself and his family. This having been done, we may rightly expect to see united effort in business expansion, and promises to encourage, in due time, when he is prepared, having done some business for himself successfully. The public and private schools are crowded. More room would be a great relief to the conditions. The churches are well attended at all services, and during the revivals which have just closed standing room was not easily held. The First Baptist church, of Campotella, a suburban section, has just closed a most successful revival and added twenty members. The membership is very small, the church is small, and all of the churches have done well, under their able and competent pastors, in recent revivals. The A. M. E. church, of Sixth Street, under the charge of Dr. Brown, has been a great success in the past, for the one brick church in the locality colored is meant. Rev. Sharp, of First Baptist, Berkley, and Rev. J. H. Hughes, of Ninth Street Baptist, have plans of new brick churches soon to be erected, at the location of the old church, the materialization of which will speak much for each pastor and congregation. If Ninth street begins first, First Baptist can improve on her plans, and vice versa, with the help of Dr. L. H. Sharp, of the First Baptist church, has just closed his revival with excellent results. There were twenty-one persons baptized and added to the church, Dr. Sharp is doing all that is in his power, and Rev. R. R. Games, of the St. Mark's Christian church, has also closed his revival with excellent results. Farewell was baptized. White Plains Notes. The Messrs.

The Brownsville Ghoul When Galveston had been swept by flood, human ghouls, the lowest being in the scale of humanity, preyed upon the dead and dying. When the earth convulsed, toppling San Francisco's temples, and the demon fire added to the horrors of death and devastation, that worst of all parasites, the human ghoul, came forth and fattened on death and suffering. In every similar great disaster time has chronicled there have been such friends as only a Dante could describe, and only a Dore caint. When the natural volubility of our race was fanned into a flame by the discharge of the soldiers of the 25th regiment, there were those who, crouching behind inhuman avarice and selfishness, were ready to swoop down, buzzard-like, upon the prey. When Senator Foraker moved down to the front of the stage, as the champion of the discharged soldiers, the buzzards flapped their wings. Although he plainly and specifically stated in the onset that "it is not a question of color or race, but a question as to the right of the President to discharge troops in time of peace," these human ghouls raised the black flag of Race Discrimination and moved out in search not of justice, but of the thirty pieces of silver coined for Judases. Although no one before, or since, had raised the question of color, or had charged directly or indirectly that the President's order was prompted by the color of these soldiers (no same and honest man could), this vagabond army of parasites marched up and down flaunting the color question that they might receive the thirty pieces. They lived on our troubles. They fattened on our misery. They fanned into a blaze—all for unholy cash—the smouldering coals of reasonable dissent Their appetite is voracious. The appetite of a buzzard is always voracious. In anticipation of a national political campaign they are striving to keep open the healing wound that it may fester so that they may have a festering sore to display as a political asset on which to raise money. The raising of this color question in the Brownsville affair has proved a stone about our necks. Who raised it? Not the President, whose many brave and helpful acts have proved him to be a real friend, tried and true. Not Secretary Taft, than whom there is no more honest friend. Not the clashing, brilliant Senator Foraker, who simply raised a legal question, without reference to color. Not one of the tens of thousands of surly, law abiding grateful men of our race who have the best interests of the race unselfishly at heart. Not the white trouser of the race in or out of Congress. Who then? Why, human ghoul, worthless parasites who represent nothing save a selfish avenger, the same avariciousness that possessed the ghoul's at Galvesbain and San Francisco. And these black ghoul's have led the race into an ambush. They are as much the enemy of Senator Foraker as the enemy of the President. As much the enemy of the whites as the enemy of their own flesh and blood. Like Madictis's damned spot, they will not out. Until the satate regions opens wide to swallow, sad to abent, we will always have our human eloquence, black and white. A Malicious Lic. Our esteemed colleague, The St. Louis Advance, of October 4, says: "In the primary light in the Thirteenth Assembly District of New York city for county Republican committeeman, Gil- christ Stewart, the Viggo who tendered such memorable service to Senator Foraker in the defense of the black battalion, was re-elected over the opposition of C. W. Anderson, Negro Collector of Internal Revenue under Roosevelt and other henchmen of the Roosevelt regime. There were 2,000 colored votes and only fifty voted against Stewart. Straws tell the way the wind is blowing." While Collector Anderson needs no defense in "this action," it is but fair and just to him—it is our duty—to nip this lie "in the bud." The truth of the matter is the contest in the Thirteenth Assembly District was purely local and strictly confined to the district. The confidence of the colored voters in the Lahin faction, with which Mr. Stewart was identified, was largely due to the Tammany methods practiced by the opposing, or Farrell, faction. Mr. Anderson is not a resident of the Thirteenth District and took no interest whatever in the primary contest therein. And, moreover, we fail to see what advantage, political or otherwise, Mr. Anderson could have hoped to realize if he were inclined to oppose Mr. Stewart's election to the county committee. Mr. Anderson's position is too well established here in New York, as well as in the county at large, to be affected by the wanton attacks of the irresponsible, and he, of all men, is the least disturbed by their mischief-making tactics Trouble in Mt. Oliver Church. Trouble in Mt. Olivet Church. We note with regret that the dove of peace which has been hovering over Mt. Olivet Baptist church for some time seems to have taken wings and flown to parts unknown. It is unfortunate that in these times of enlightened thought civic and religious—and in a community like New York, our church organizations cannot settle their internal dissensions without interrupting the peace and good will of the community, and thereby reflecting not only discredit but odium upon our people as a whole. We have learned to admire the Rev. Dr. Gilbert since he came among us for his Christian bearing, his ability as a theologian of note and as an able organizer, and we are at a loss to understand the cause of this trouble. It is limited, however, that one of the causes is due to the doctor's desire to obtain an increase in his salary, and another to his connection, in a financial way, with an undertaking stock company. The general trend nowadays is to provide most liberally for the ministers of the gospel, thereby assuring to the congregations good and efficient service. If the Mt. Olivet congregation, so large and influential as it is, would begrudge or deny its pastor a living wage commensurate with the dignity as well as the responsibilities of his position, it is a sad commentary on their wisdom and sagacity, and we predict that it won't be long ere they fall back to a condition like unto the "days of Wisher." We hope that the wiser councils will prevail, and that Christian spirit and Christian influence will lead the brothers out of their "misma of despond" into the true light. We hope to see all differences settled once and for all and the dove of peace returned to it perch. We hope to hear the whole congregation, with pure and free hearts, love for all and mingle toward none, join in singing, "And We Shall See Him face to Face." --- Reconciiliation of the Irreconcilables It gives us a pleasure which we hope we can impart to others to note the alleged change of heart that several momently respectable colored citizens of the Republic have undergone concerning the Administration of President Roosevelt, as evidenced by the attendance of Messrs. Grunke, Morgan Ferris, Forbush and others at the dinner given in honor of Mr W F E R Du Boss by Assistant L S. District Attorney William H Lewis, in Boston recently. From the organized city of our Boston contemptuary, we are surprised to learn that the acceptance of Mr Lewis' dinner invitation was not due as we had thought, to the underlying principle of New England hospitality, but to the mad desire of the affair and despisephants to secure trent seats on the Roosevelt Latt band wagon of which Mr Lewis is the trustful driver in Massachusetts. If the function really had the significance which our Lafrymes friend of the Boston Guardian serves to it we are glad that it had not and we are also glad. We feel confident that the dinner was a success both in intellect and in alimentation. And why should it not have been? The guests were worthy. The host was more than worthy, and the ability to lay a pretty difference in recognition of his motives, among men who lither have not been able to keep step to exact in the same music, was most worthy. We congratulate the host and the guests, and we be peeked for them a delightfully pleasant trip on the administration bandwagon, the Boston Guardian to the contrary notwithstanding. Here in New York the Roosevelt Taft ranks have also received some few and interesting recruits, the last one being our good friend, Gilchrist Stewart. He has for some time been hurling thunderbolts at Congressman Herbert Parsons, who is the accredited leader of the Roosevelt Taft forces in this State, and the particular, personal friend of the president. The daily papers of last THE NEW YORK AGE: THURSDAY OCTOBER 17. 1907. week gave us some very interesting accounts of the ringing speech made by Mr. Stewart in the New York County Republican Convention, in which, with much eloquence and emotion, he urged the other colored delegates in the convention to stand by Congressman Parsons and to give him their unqualified support. When we recall that only a few/months ago Mr. Stewart publicly accused Mr. Parsons of unseating him in the Republican County Committee at the behest of President Roosevelt, we are forced to believe in the possibility of reconciliation, even among the apparently irreconcilables. These multiplying evidences of the gathering strength of the administration forces constrain us to show glory! hallelujah! Let the good work go on. And yet, in the midst of our rejoicing, we find a note of sorrow when we think of the undisturbed intellectual and political solitude of the editor of the Boston Guardian. We greatly deplore the desertion of officers and high privates from the anti-administration standard, so long and so proudly held aloft by the interpid editor-politician of Boston. We would not have him left in the position of the late Alexander Selkirk, and we admonish him to capitulate at once and hand in his sidearms before it is too late. & Popular People. We are a peculiar people. We cannot escape that fact. When people see us on the street, whether they think well or all of us as a race, they take notice of us, and they set the memory of us apart in a mental compartment, by itself. When an Irishman goes staggering along the street, people look at him. Perhaps they are amused, perhaps they are disgusted, but they may not notice that he is an Irishman. They do not say, "there goes an Irishman; the Irish are all drunkards." These same people, seeing a Negro standing on the corner, indulently supporting a lampost, will take note of that fact. They identify him not as a member of their race, whom they feel they understand, but as a member of that other race, whose homes they never enter, and whose thoughts and aspirations they do not fully comprehend. So we are a peculiar race. Now this has some disadvantages, but it has some advantages. We ourselves know that our thoughts and feelings are pretty much like those of other people, and we do not relish being treated as aliens. That is one of the disadvantages. There are others. On the other hand, this distinction which the race confers on us is an advantage, in so far as it gives us a peculiar opportunity to help each other. Every time a Negro does a superior piece of work, every time he makes a machine, builds a good house, writes a good poem, or does any peculiarly brave and generous act, he helps the whole race. There is no one who does so much good or so much harm to us another member of our own race. This is not true, to the same extent at least, of any other race in the country. We want to get close together. We want to know the persons in our race who are doing us good, and the persons who are doing us harm. We want as Mr. 1 Thomas continue little and little, "to damn our criminal and justify our horrors." To tell the story of the progress of our race in all its branches; to make our people more thoughtful about the things that concern our welfare as a race; to avoid controversy over grivial things; and to raise up and dignify and give importance to the essential things that is the policy of this paper. Do not write it published. Harmony Absolutely Necessary prone charge of the publication of the official organ of the A. M. E. church. Let the bishops and other officials concerned get together at once and take up this whole business with a big stick and straighten it out. In order that our readers may get an idea of the kind of row that is now on, we publish the following from the pen of the editor on the editorial page: Of the eight pages constituting the Recorder's make-up, five pages continue devoted to dead and tranby matter, the super of which should be occupied by available contributions from brothers from the various parts of the church. We have piles of such articles which are called and edited from week to week and placed in the printer's hands. It is important that this explanation be made and we will continue to make it as long as the outrage exists, no matter who denies the fact and no matter how persistent may be the effort to shift the blame other than where it belongs. We can visit no conference but what we are deluged with complaints from this, that and the other brother to commenting on with grievances as to why articles are not allowed to appear. We simply reply that we are not to blame, since the matter in the printer's hands. Whether the editor is in his office or in the field has nothing to do with the quality of the matter published, for whether present or absent, the publisher and printers care little more for his wishes and orders than the proverbial crow care for Sunday. Here follows a statement from the publisher just underneath the statement from the editor: Dr. H. T. Johnson, D. D. Th. D. and candidate for bishop, is apparently sick in mind as well as body; physical sickness has seemingly caused mental sickness. If this is not so, surely the learned (?) doctor of divinity would not be guilty of such a false and malicious criticism of the business manager, as the above. Any person who carefully examines this paper this week will be compelled to say the Recorder is a credit to the business management as well as the church. The editor seems to be inspired by spite and malice. One who aspires to be a bishop should at least be honest, truthful and just. We dislike to say it, but the Christian Recorder needs really a competent editor. Business Manager. Let the bishops get busy and straight out matters at once. Restriction in Optimistic The fact that perfectly organized modern news bureaus flash over the country, in an instant, every bit of news reflecting adversely on the race must not be accepted as a sign, or as evidence that we are retracing Statistics compiled by impartial statisticians, and by statisticians unfavorable to the race prove beyond any question of a doubt that the strides forward, made by our face, have been miraculous in their proportion. The white man, even though he may assert he is, is not pessimistic as to our future. He is decidedly optimistic. Every law passed imposing restrictions upon the race is the strongest possible assurance of our advancement. Every effort put forth to segregate us is an admission that we are considered a big factor in this country's equation. If it were not evident to the whites, especially in the South, that the race is making rapid advancement, there would be no discussion for restrictive laws and measures. No powerful army ever entrenches it off behind barricades as a means of protection against a straggling, poorly compiled battalion. No first class battalion ever maneuvers for position on sighting more robust sailing vessel. In every Southern State where there has been proposed or passed restrictive evictions against the race, there is an admission on the part of the whites, that our progress is good and that they the whites, are afraid to compete with our race out in the open. No restriction placed upon an ambi-tion in order to give some other man an unfair advantage can become permanent. Impregnable Proof of Victim proved available. The South's restrictions will not always restrict Brain development, industrial achievements and commercial progress will allow it, of necessity, break down every barrier created against the race and restrictions against the No-go will prove prescription for those who want them. --- Dr. Morris' Example Some months ago we published an editorial based upon a recent assertion made by the Rev. Charles S. Morris of New York. The guest of which we desire to again call to the attention of our readers. It is a well-known fact that Rev. Dr Morris is one of the strongest, most eloquent and educational men in the Baptist church. Dr Morris made the assertion from the pulpit, and we think has also repeated it over his own signature, to the effect that he was through fighting Afro-Americans, and hereafter he would concentrate all the effort of his body, brains, and heart in defending the rights of the race against the onslaughts of enemies from the outside. Since the assertion was made, Dr. Morris has consistently stuck to that position, for which he is greatly to be commended. But our main object in calling attention to this matter is for Afro-Americans throughout the country to follow the example of Dr Morris. There is enough to do to defend ourselves from the outside. Let us as a people stick together and cease trying to tear down the race from within. There are always groups of second and third rate white men who are willing to do everything they can to keep Afro-Americans stirred up and fighting among themselves. They resort to the old slave time habit. The masters knew that the way to keep the slaves subjugated and keep them from rebelling and running away was to keep tip friction between them, to keep them continually at war with each other. The same policy is being resorted to by a little group of white men in America. We repeat that we should all follow the high and honorable example set by Dr. Morris in racial engenesis and racial loyalty and support. Let us have a common loyalty one to the other. --- The Age: Its Creed. We believe in the Negro race. We believe in it for what it has already done, and what we see it doing every day to make itself strong—strong physically, mentally and morally, to make itself useful and respected. We believe in the United States of America. We believe in it particularly because there is no other place on earth where the Negroes have so much opportunity to live and prosper, and to enter into and take a part in all the varied interests and fortunes of the State and community as they do here. We believe in the people of the United States. We believe in them because, in spite of the wrongs and in spite of the injustices that we sometimes are made to suffer, we know that in the long run they mean to treat us as men, to give us justice and the square deal. We believe the Negro will ultimately obtain in this country all the rights and privileges that are granted to other races. We believe this because it is the nature and genius of this country to be free and democratic because a great war was fought, to make it so, and because in the end the masses of the people will see that the oppression or degradation of one class or race of people would inevitably lead to the oppression and degradation of other classes or races. Just as the slavery of the Negro in the South led to the degradation of the poor white class so the industrial slavery of one class or race, now threatened in the North, will lead to the oppression and degradation of other classes. Finally, we believe in ourselves, in our ability to go forward and succeed. While not overlooking the obstacles and the difficulties that prejudice may put in our way, we believe that our future in this country depends upon ourselves more than upon any other earthly power. Our Ticket. The Republican party, in its county convention last week, nominated a ticket which, while it meets with the opposition of the more "hidebound" of the party, by reason of fusion with the Independence League, is destined to grow in popular favor as the day of election draws near. In seeking alliance with the Hearest forces, the leaders of the Republican party had uppermost in their minds the hope of at least crippling, if not destroying, the Lammany influence in the county of New York. Chairman Eccles, in an interview shortly after the nominations, admitted that whatever might be said of Mr. Hearest and his followers, it is a very violent fact that they have the confidence of the people. And it is to the people that the great Republican party in New York must appeal in future at they ever hope to win elections. A casual glance at this ticket and the one nominated by the Democrats will convince anyone of the superiority in mental and moral fitness of the fusion candidates. The fact that we are all over disguises of raiding our city of the civil invasion of the scourge of Tammany is sufficient incentive to all good Republics to work as earnestly and as zealously yet success this year as if this were a State of National election. In order to insure a good working society in the Legislature, that the good and necessary policies of the Government may not be threatened, it is in confidence upon all to stand by our own policies to the Assembly. To check the principal old light on our city treasury by the granting Tammany benchmen it is all important that Tammany's hold must the Barrel of Adlermen be broken. The Republican party could not hope to accomplish this feat alone, hence the western town with the Independence League. Our ticket commends itself to all who have the interests of our great city at heart and for that reason we will give our individual support Women's Dream Reform Some modistes, to promote better morals, advocate a reform in women's gowns that will do away with the display of suggestive curves. This suggests the question: Can a woman generate impurity while she herself is accounted pure? Witness a fashionable party of to day. Arms are flashing above the shoulders, the modesty of our grandmothers is absent, and the nicks and bosoms of all are as bare as were those of the courtiers of Charles the Second. Even the back is displayed almost to the waist by a gigantic V. Is it the initial of virtue or vice? We do not pity the old campaigners, the veterans of twenty seasons. But the young and innocent girls of seventeen who have just left the schoolroom, whose passions are fresh and their imaginations strong, for these we tremble. How many of these will escape such an ordeal unscathed? And with what object have they been commanded to expose their budding charms to the critical eyes of bold and observant men? Will it enhance a maiden's modesty, or is it the first easy step to Avernus? No law, human or divine, forbids women to adorn themselves, but St. Paul said, "Let women adorn themselves in modest apparel." And long dresses may be made immodest if they are worn only to be lifted suggestively, as in the prevailing mode, to court the prurient gaze of passersby. All these first breaches of modesty are like the drunkard's first dram; they lead to others and greater. They assist in hooding our divorce courts, in infesting our streets with loose women, in filling mixtures of homes with crime and wretchedness. All the poor, ever to be pitied creatures march steadily hellwards were modest once. Chaste, pure, and innocent were they until their first immodest act or thought slew them. "For pleasures are like poppies spread. You seize the flower, the bloom is dead." --- Good Will for the Race Good Will for the Race While the ordinary observer would conclude that the Afro-American was abundantly supplied with organizations for the betterment along various lines of progress, it can hardly be disputed that these agencies can be multiplied to advantage if greater results are thereby attainable. The only fear is that the energy consumed may be spread out over so wide a field as to dissipate its force. However, the latest recruit to the forces of uplift is styled "The Human Brotherhood" its object being the founding a bureau for the purpose of moulding sentiment favorable to the colored people. We publish below the following announcement of its aims and purposes. For quite a number of years a propaganda against the colored people of the United States has been carried on by persons hostile to their aspirations for full citizenship rights. They reasoned quite well that laws favorable to the cause of the colored people would never be enforced if the nation could be taught to hate the race. "The Human Brotherhood" is a bureau established in Philadelphia for the purpose of passing around among persons whose good will for the race is desired such literature aswill mould sentiment in its favor for forces arrayed against the colored people for blinding the manly and powerful and aggressive. Strengthen work is therefore necessary to effectively offset them. The aim of "The Human Brotherhood" is to organize groups in every community, equip them with the literature most helpful and have them disseminate the same. Persons friendly to the cause of the colored people have provided and will continue to provide funds for the operation of the Bureau. No fee whatever is attached in connection with the movement and all in sympathy with its purposes are desired as co-workers. The Bureau is under the supervision of Rev. Sutton E. Griggs, A. M. R. D., the author who for years has called the race to activity in the matter of rebulting the landers directed against it. The Bureau includes correspondence. Literature fully explaining its workings furnished free upon application. Address communication to The Human Brotherhood," 916 Wallapop street, Philadelphia, Pa. Good will is a valuable asset in business and in politics, therefore it should prove helpful in the progress of the race. We trust that "The Human Brotherhood" may be successful in the cultivation of abundant crops of the golden gram, which may prove a leaven of light and leading in the communities where it is most needed. --- The moral education of mankind has lither to enamored from the law of force, and is adapted almost solely to the relation which force creates. The morality of the first ages, rested on the obligation to submit to power, and that of ages next following on the right of the weak to the forebearance and protection of the strong. How much longer is one form of society and life to content itself with the morality made for another? We have had the morality of submission and the morality of chivalry and gentleness the time is now come for the morality of justice. In the past year Dr. Booker I. Washington has added $256,151.20 to the employment fund of Tuskegee Institute, taking the fund total $1,994,021.64. And all this is for the education of young colored men and women. All this, too, represents the energy of one man. A man that can accomplish such wonders is too far removed from hypochondriac tor one to even contemplate the great distance between "The comic opera, "Hartowing Invasion of Texas," Barrister Glechrist Stewart and Napoleon Bonaparte Marshall collaborators, will not be put on the boards this season because of the inability to get scenes painted showing air Our esteemed friend, the Hon Judson Lyons, it is said is doing some gum-shoe work. Let's see gumshoes are made from rubber. We are not to infer that the Hon Judson is rubbernecking, are we? An exchange says, "Emmet Scott glides into one's affections like the first days of the morning sun stealing into space." If Emmet has got the "glides," we piandon all hope. In correspondent, No, there was no demand for a second edition of Professor Kelly Miller's "Rosevelt and the Negro." He was able to supply his personal demand from the one edition affected with a "political preacher." Domestic woe will kill a man, when the poisoned arrows of a thousand outside foes fall pointless at his feet. Is the Washington Colored American to be revived? The Negro department of the James-town Exposition is at last coming into its own. Chairman T. J. Calloway and his efficient aides are to be congratulated for the wonderful uphill fight they have made. "Perfesser" Du Bois delivered an address in Washington the other night. The services of the fire department were not needed. Shall we now drop the "cocktail" subject and turn to a discussion of the merits of "champagne" as a buster of Presidential booms? These who advise the Negro to "get out of politics" will first have to file a bill of particulars to show that he is in politics. Cancassian Christianity (2) saves colored souls by special arrangement. Our gurgle rises as we contemplate the humbuggery practiced "in His name." Certain American newspapers do not like Chinese Minister Wu's interrogation habit. Come to think of it, some of his questions touching pur Constitution and Christianity, in their relation to the race problem, are rather embarrassing to sensitive souls. President Roosevelt's proverbial luck did not desert him during his Western trip. He was roundly denounced by Governor Jim Vardaman. Secretary Taft is meeting with monumental success abroad in his sparkling political social melodrama, "The Welcome Guest." Oklahoma has a mighty weak constitution for the strenuous life of Statehood. Dr E. J. Penney, who has been teaching for some time at Hakebee Institute, Taft, Indian Territory, has accepted the position of financial agent for that school, with headquarters at Muscogee, I. T. Dr. Penney is a well-qualified man for such work, and he will make Hakebee and Taft heard from throughout the great Southwest. President Roosevelt may be an authority on bears, wolves, bohems, chipmunks and the like, but there is a burning desire on the part of a large element of the American body politic to have him make a few remarks on the merits of that festive "critter" known as the "possum. The Kentucky Standard, the "Blue Grass" State's representative secular organ, is putting up a strong fight for Augustus E. Willson for Governor, and is not forgetting to give former Governor W. O. Bradley the prominence that is due the "grand old man." The organization of State clubs in the national capital has been greatly stimulated since the representatives of Florida, Louisiana and Texas have taken the initiative along that line. It is expected that the local residents from Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky, Illinois and Tennessee will "get together" in the future and form State societies for mutual pleasure and profit. When a man takes a notion to "play the races" he simply announces that he prefers that another shall enjoy the money he has labored to get hold of. That's all! The editor of The Western Enterprise of Colorado Springs, Colorado, rejoices in the rather suggestive name of "Booze," but we are delighted to hear from reliable sources that in this instance she unique cognomen goes no further than the suggestion. The crudite pen-pointer and first-class business factor is a confirmed test-taler. Most people have begun to realize that in acquiring the Philippines the United States took on a good-sized lemon—but how are we going to get rid of them with deception and credit? It isn't America want to acknowledge that this nation can make a mistake. --- Oklahoma is not fit to be in the Union with the kind of a constitution its well meaning voters have been misled into adopting. The President will earn the gratitude of all true Americans by withholding his approval of the obnoxious instrument Lawyer W. L. Pollard, Washington's comment young lawyer and president of the Pen and Pencil Club, gives "talk little and work fast" as the cardinal principle of action for the government clerk who wishes to stay on the job. President Roosevelt is right. "Conduct determines worth." Can folks may be denied the boon of a complimentary mention for President of the United States, but, if you are a Methodist preacher, there is nothing to hinder your friends from working you in a mere or less formidable boom for the leisure. A healthy and aggressive National Ato. American Press Association would help materially to weed out the professional newspaper faker who is ruining the business for men who are trying to deal on the level. The prison should be reformatory as well as忍耐. Save men while segregating them from society for a period. The Negro race is not lifted up by those of its members who are ashamed to sail under their true colors and try to "peep for whil." In occasionally dropping into the patrons of our best colored families, well disposed white neighbors would learn something to their advantage. Sport at the Minneapolis Fair Louisiana Correspondence Mobile Register. There is one feature of the State fair that is to be held here during the early days of November that is attracting more attention and comment perhaps than any other one promise by the management, and that is the test for bloodhounds. There will be a trial of bloodhounds, white and black runners being engaged to test the hunting and hunting capacity of the several dogs that are expected to be on exhibition. Every day of the fair there will be at least one of these races, the winning dog to score so many points, on the total. Several of the finest and most notorious dogs in the South, dogs with the records as hunters of criminals, will be placed on exhibition and will be shown. The shores of the State of Mississippi have begun to appreciate the fact that a pack of well-trained hounds is the best and to the capture of escapes and the safest deterrent of the crime in any community. It has been discovered that the criminal often gives up and stops when he learns that the dogs are on his track they know they will be caught in a short while. FRATERNAL NEWS OF THE BLKS Brooklyn Lodge, No. 32, recently appointed a special committee of three consisting of Brothers William H. McFarland, William A. Brown and R. M. Bowle, to cooperate with the Society of the Sons of Virginia and the Society of the Sons of North Carolina, in reviving the Emancipation Proclamation and the stoic principles of Abraham Lincoln. The principles of Lincoln should always have the first claim upon our hearts. Lincoln's eminence 'shows him to have been in body as well as in soul a fitting man to become, as he is now, the great typical American hero. Elks and other benevolent and fraternal societies should concentrate their efforts to revive such noble principles, as will prove one of the most adequate monuments to our greatest President. President Paul Jones, of the Sons of North Carolina, and President N. Barnett Dodson, of the Sons of Virginia, are energetically working to make the forty-fifth anniversary of the Emanuel Proclamation in 1863: the greatest local event ever undertaken in the City of Churches, by Afro-Americans. A particular feature planned will be a grand street parade in the afternoon, and in the evening an elaborate public reception at Prospect Hall. Prominent orators of the race will make timely addresses. Of those I recall who will be invited are; Professor Kelley Miller, Dr. W. T. Vernon, Register of the Treasury, and Dr. William E. Atkins, M. D., Grand Exalted Ruler, B. P. O. Elks of the World, and many others equally as eloquent on the rostrum. These gentlemen are familiar with the good that has been done in the past by such celebrations and past masters of oratory. Such a celebration will give a deeper knowledge of the great and eminent principles of Lincoln. Elks! I do not hesitate to say, if you understood the good this movement will cause our race and the great need for co-operation. I do not believe you would hesitate to help under the circumstances. I am taking this up as an individual, but freely for the good of the whole fraternity and the societies in question. All Elks' lodges will be invited to cooperate in this most worthy celebration of our emancipation, forty-five years ago. Dr. Atkins, our Grand Exalted Ruler, will be the special guest of the Society of the Sons of Virginia and the Sons and the Antlers will vie with each other in entertaining the good doctor while in our midst. The Emancipation Celebration, under its efficient and resourceful presidents, N. Barnett Dodson and Paul Jones, will present programmes of great variety and individuality. The reminiscences of Lincoln will be notably strong, and some unpublished anecdotes of Abraham Lincoln, the Emancipator, which, in themselves, will be sufficient to arouse unlimited interest and co-operation of our citizens of Greater New York. Brooklyn Lodge T. Jones, treasurer of Great Lakes Hodge. No. 43, has lived a successful life in Chicago since 1876. He is a business man of prominence and of high social standing in the "Windy City" of cosmopolitan society. He enjoys the respect and confidence of his fellow citizens in a large degree. Brother Jones is one of the wealthiest Mio-Americans in Chicago, and an Elk of superior standing among the Western Antlers, figurating prominently in all progressive movements tending to the uplift of our race. Brooklyn Lodge also recently appointed a committee to act in conjunction with a committee of three of Imperial Lodge, No. 127, the Bronx. The Bronx edge formulated the idea of soliciting co-operation of the various Elk' edges of this district to give a point lambake at an early date. Furthermore, special effort is to be made, as has been made in the Bronx, and also at the other vicinities of local Elks, to make this one of the greatest affairs ever given by Elks in the Empire State. The acrimony shown by pessimists outside of New York and adjacent States, proves conciliatively that they are neither stoics nor philosophers, and though we exert our best efforts to do the right thing as we see it, "the heath on will rage and the people imagine a vain thing." Brooklyn Lodge will take the initiative and build a monument of right, justice and audacious methods to the integrity of the order. A word to the wise is sufficient. "The convention of Elks at Chicago represented sixty-seven lodges, with a membership of 2,273 energetic and active Antlers—an ever increasing fraternity Receipts, $1,311.19, and disbursements, $2,273.21; balance, $1,260.93. New lodges, forty-five, with twenty prospective lodges in view and reconciliation on the horizon. Thirty-eight deceased members. Collier's Weekly recently published a statement of John K. Teeter, Esq., the Grand Exalted Ruler of the R. P. O. Elks of the United States of America, saying that the recent summer convention of the Grand Order in Philadelphia adopted unanimously a set of resolutions calling for the appointment of a committee to investigate the matter of preserving the Elks from extinction, and requesting the members to dispense with the use of the Elks' tooth as an article of personal adornment. These resolutions will be read in every lodge in the country. They have already appeared in the Order's various papers. Collier's Weekly says it is pleasant to joint Mr. Teeter in his desire to keep straight the Grand Order's record concerning this silly and rather brutal fad. It might have been still better had the Order made the wearing of an Elks' tooth by a member a sufficient ground for expulsion or drastic discipline of some kind. W. Pringston Moore Mailread Pattern Association. Railroad Porters Association, JERSEY CITY, Oct. 14.

I. Curtis, general agent, adonarters, 68 Ege avenue, Jersey v. N. J. JOSF M. DOUGLAS. Greatest and Most Celebrated Vivielist of Race Opera Conservatory of Music in New York. All lovers of the highest music in music will be gratified to know that Mr. Joseph H. Donglass, acknowledged by the leading press and people of the country as the premier violinist of his race, has been a pioneer in the development of the mind and hand of the colored youth in music. Mr. Donglass comes to New York heartily welcomed after a most successful tour of nearly ever State in the Union, and he feels that the advantages here give better opportunities to the talented student than any other city in the country. Mr. Donglass is no stranger; his public performances here from time to time have never failed to win the plaudits of large audiences that always greet him, and many who come to see and hear him as the grandson of the immortal Freckle Donglass, forget that and go away with admiration for the great artist himself. Mr. Donglass has associated, with him thoroughly equipped teachers in every de JOSEPH H. DOUGLASS partment of music and private and class lessons are given in each branch, including violin, pianoforte, vocal elocution, and harmony. The violin department and the direction of the school is in full charge of Mr. Douglass, and to all students the privileges of lectures, concerts and revivals, the opportunities of ensemble practice and appearing before audiences, the advantages open to the music student. In violin each class will be carefully graded, containing but three pupils, thereby permitting more time to be devoted to each member. The Belgian school of violin playing in solo work is also taught in private and class lessons. The Douglass Lyceum bureau is also connected with the school, where engagements are accepted for revivals, concerts and musical performances, and the part of the Douglass Concert Company can be secured, together with many of the leading artists of our people in the country. Douglass, like Joadchin, is a man of strong character. He has never at any time advertised himself, and yet his reputation as a solo violinist overtops that of all other living violinists among our people. Preferring as he does to let his work speak for itself the same successful results from his school at 15S West 133d street are hoped for and predicted. COOKERY OF THE CANEBRAKES. President Hosseini Shoaib a Deer and Makes a Cook Proud. STAMMEL, La. October 10 — A 250- pound back hunks outside the President's tent to night, the first trophy of his hunt in the Louisiana canebakes. The party was driving through the woods in pursuit of a bear when a fine specimen of deer which had been started by the dogs crossed the President's path at a distance of 75 to 100 yards. In an instant the President's rule was at his shoulder, all other members of the party deferring to him. The shot went true, the deer plunged forward and fell after running a few yards, although the President fired a second time. The deer was brought into camp by the Negro helpers and dressed this afternoon. Venison was running low, but with this killing the camp will have a supply for some time to come. The President was heartily congratulated on his marksmanship. Although he is pointed in not getting a bear he was delighted at bringing down a deer. One thing the President has acquired is an enormous appetite. Life in the cannibals has greatly increased his capacity for food. One of his first acts upon teaching the camp was to make friends with Jack Powell, the colored cook, and the compliments which he bespoke upon Jack's art makes him the poundest Negro in Louisiana. The way Jack can put up a meal of chicken gumbo song, fried trout, venison and hoe cakes to make the hungry hunter happy would drive Mrs. Rohrer way out of the cuisine. Given the proper ingredients, in three minutes Jack can compound a corn poke compared to which Mrs. Donald McLean's prize cake tastes like so much cypress sawdust. When the President reached over this morning and blinded himself to a fourth bunk Jack was watching him with a decorful expression upon his face. "I know he's used to good living, is it?" he remarked. "I've cooked out dollar White House Cook Book before." White House comforts, and even luxuries attend the President in his pent upon the Texas, but the place is so wild and desolate that it makes Oyster Bay seem like a thriving metropolis. For even tries to the eastward and twenty miles in any other direction there is not a human habitation, not even the but of a plantation Negro. A MASTER MASON.

ALEXANDER Aug 1-3 mos. Proprietor General Mechanism and Copper Subscriptions to Company's Stock the Course of Much Encouragement. The Afro-American Realty Company holds its first special meeting of stockholders at Mercy Seat Baptist church, 134th street, on Thursday evening, October 3d. The main object of the meeting was, and the object of such meetings hereafter will be, that the stockholders, officers and directors of the company may come closer together and thereby learn to know one another better. It is only at such meetings that erroneous of mind must be rectified, that unsettled misstatements and antruths branded, and information given, both general and specific, of more or less vital importance to any stockholder. The meeting was such a success that if the company had not held them often enough, or at all in the past, it must needs have awakened to the necessity of holding them more frequently in the future. And that is what it intends to do. The meeting, in short, was a heart-to-heart talk, by way of frank statements of opinions, pro and con, resulting in general enlightenment all round. The meeting was duly opened with prayer by Rev. N. S. Epple, pastor, after which followed the roll call. After a few general introductory remarks by the president of the company, an extended article on the "Origin, Scope, Accomplishments and Possibilities of the Afro-American Reagan's view president, and this served to fairly open the meeting and to pave the way for general discussion. Upon the conclusion of the paper, remarks, questions, suggestions and so forth were in order, and the house freely indulged in name. Particularly worthy of note was the extended and open expression of his views on the company by Rev. Charles S. Morris. After dwelling at length upon and emphasizing in the strongest terms, his absolute and inexpertishable confidence in the ability and competency of the Company's executive head, in no less strong words did he express his implicit faith in the company itself, and in the practicalness and tangibility of its proposition, a tangibility of proposition based upon the absolute, intrinsic and underestimated will of the company. We will shortly in, which the company has thus far made all its investments. He commented in great degree upon what the success of the Afro-American Realty Company would mean to the Negro race in a positive way, and what its failure must needs mean to the race in a negative way. He said that he could possibly come about, he asserts, through lack of proper support of the company on the part of the members of the race. Given the necessary support, taking form in substantial subscriptions to its stock, he painted a great picture of the company's future possibilities based quite reasonably upon conclusions drawn from results in the past, already accomplished. He emphasized the importance to the race does he consider such an organization as the Afro-American Realty Company, an importance, which, if the members of the Negro race choose to overlook it, will necessarily redound, in a certain measure, more or less disastrously to the race in general. In other words he averts that the Negro race should not be more than an American Realty Company just as much as the Afro-American Realty Company needs the race. That the general discussion of the evening and the various remarks rested favourably with the stockholders present, was unmistakably demonstrated in the copious, fresh subscriptions to the company's capital stock by many who were already holders of quite a respectable number of shares in individual cases. That the success of the company is essentially dependent upon the frequent holding of such meetings was proven beyond a doubt, if subscriptions to stock indicate anything. And it must be remembered that this was the company's first meeting of its kind. But with the meeting of its kind, the one can readily see what possibilities of future success are in store for the company if it only holds such meetings at more or less frequently stated intervals. PROVIDENCE BAND CELEBRATES Excellent Band Given Excellent Anniversary Exercise. The Excelsior Band, an excellent Negro musical organization of this city, observed its twenty-fifth anniversary Friday evening at last, 775 Westminster street. About thirty members and friends participated in the enjoyment. Vocal and instrumental music was given and speeches were made by Messrs. H. Cooper, H. H. Johnson, P. Howard, Engene A. Watton, Prof. W. P. Smith, G. Quinton and others. A the conclusion of the speeches was made by Prof. W. P. Smith, acted as toastmaster, Mr. H. H. Johnson, only chartered member of the band, related the history of the organization with interesting reminiscences. Mr. James Perry died at Rhode Island Hospital on the 12th while undergoing an operation. He leaves a mother and several relatives and friends to mourn their loss.

Why not let the "grand old man" wear the title during the days that he is to dwell "in our mids?" If the esteemed Star of Zion will stop dubbing the wives of its prelates as "Mrs. Bishop," all past offences against good taste and historic accuracy will be forgiven! The town of Frederick, Maryland, made famous as the home of one "Barbara Frietchie," has been shot up—not by colored soldiers, for there were none in the vicinity. The white soldiers of the 3d Artillery and the 13th Cavalry were the guilty ones, individuals not specified. At this writing no battalion has been "discharged without honor." The statesmen who "dislike notoriety" might as well learn now as later that few people know anything about the unreported speech that they have delivered, be it ever so eloquent. The "press agent" is no longer a luxury. He is a prime necessity. Now that the campaign of the Boston agitators, has reached the "electro" stage, with notices to Western editors to "please pad," we may look for the illuminated poster on the dead walls of our great cities, as the next diversion of the vaudevillians of Cornhill street. Certain "near-leaders" of the race may appreciate the following bit of humor culled from the Washington Star: "Don't, you enjoy being famous?" "I don't know whether I do or not," answered Senator Sorghum; "the methods pursued nowadays in making a man famous make him feel like a new brand of soap or a popular novel." The argument made by the opponents of the Hughes Presidential boom that the Governor cannot be spared from Albany, and therefore should not be considered "for the White House does not make a hit with Dr. E. W. Lampton, the exceptionally able financial secretary of the A. M. E. church, whose only barrier to the bishopric is the difficulty in finding an equally capable successor. Dr. Lampton and Governor Hughes, will doubtless be willing to help their respective constituencies to "round up" some good material that might be used in a pinch. We can't help feeling that Mr. Ivins' name is a popular corruption of the more dignified patronymic "Evans," just as some friends we know as "Moten" have been victims of persons who found it inconvenient to pronounce it "Morton." Auditor Ralph W. Tyler is a man of quiet and unassuming methods, but this generation has seen no man who is giving evidence of a greater capacity for real leadership in the arena of political thought and morals. He not only "thinks things," but actually "does things." PRYOR—MOSELRY DRAMATIC CO. To Repeat Lant Season's Success of "Jerry" at Carnegie Lyceum. When Moselry Dr押 and Moselry present their last season's great success entitled "Jerry" at Carnegie Lyceum, on Thursday evening, Oct. 31, 1907, it will be with new sequel and costumes, which will add very much to this production. This play was given its initial hearing in New York last February, and the consensus of opinion is that it was the hit of the season. Since then it has been played in Atlantic City, New Jersey, where it met with the same verdict. When it comes to Carnegie Lyceum on the 1st of the present month, it will be in aid of the Old Folks' Home Fund of Mt. Olivet Baptist church, under the auspices of the Young People's League. Those who failed to see this very interesting and well performed play should not miss this performance, as it appeals to the heart interest, and so well blended with humor and pathos that it is easy to please. Messrs. Pryor and Mossley, who will have their original parts, have surrounded themselves with a very able supporting east: Mr. Pryor, as "Jerry" Mr. Mossley, as James Blackburn, the heavy villain, Cwil Foote, who will again be seen in the part of Colonel Lee, which he so ably originated last season. The new members are: Herbert Everett Amos, who was with Cole and Johnson last season, and who will have the part of Jack Worthington, the lover; Harry Huggs, the policeman; Marcela Mathias, one of the best emotional actresses, who will have the leading female part, that of France Lee; finally Fields, whose ability is so well that both the part of Mr. Lee and will have the part of Mrs. Lee, the Colonel's wife; and last but not least, Grace Lee, a promising young lady, who is in a class alone as a soubrette, will have the part of Sadie the maid. It will be well worth your while to see this performance, which is the best of its kind ever given in New York. 2t. Waterbury Noter. The service at Mount Olive A. M. E.

Oct 17-19 Methodists Outstrip Alabama Conference AN EDUCATIONAL CAUSE People of Texas Raise $11,514—Subjects of Importance Discussed—Representative Persons of the Race Present. DALLAS, Oct. 14.—A week of oratory, song and philanthropy is the most apt denomination of the great educational convention held by the Texas, East Texas and West Texas Conferences of the Colored Methodist Episcopal church in this city last week. In keeping with the efforts of the general church to raise money for the cause of education, the colored Methodists in Texas worked manfully to outstrip the achievement of the brethren in the church a few weeks ago in Alabama, at which time more than $11,364.49 were contributed for the school at Birmingham. Here the conditions were somewhat different, Bishop Charles H. Phillips, D. D., the presiding bishop of the diocese, has been in bad health for some time and had not been able to give as much time to directing the work as he himself had wished. The Texas and West Texas conferences are small mission conferences, and the greatest reliance was to be placed in the East Texas Conference. It is no small task for Afro-Americans in these stringent times to place on a collection table eleven thousand five hundred and fourteen dollars for education or any other cause. The most imaginative individual cannot hold in mind the sacrifices made by working people, by washerwomen, by day laborers, and the manly pleas made by the ministers and presiding elders in collecting these large sums for Christian education. Bishop Phillips, the leader of the movement, has a wonderful hold upon the people of his church in Texas. He knows the needs of the people and straightway proceeds to supply them. In his opening address he gave some wholesome advice to the people at large and outlined fully the purpose of the educational convention. Mayor J. H. Hay and other prominent citizens of Dallas welcomed the convention to Dallas, and the responses were delivered by Professor S. W. Broome, president of Texas College, Tyler, Texas, and Professor E. W. Bailey, principal of Gibbon High School, Paris. The convention organized by electing Professor E. W. Bailey secretary, and Rev. E. S. Godby, assistant. That the meeting was not called alone to raise money for Texas College can be easily ascertained by a glance at the programme. Many subjects of importance in connection with various phases of the racial situation in the South were discussed by some of the most influential and substantial Afro-American citizens of Texas, and, throughout, the condition of the programme was convincing proof of the progress of the race in the South. As an index to the general thought, certain addresses might be taken, although in a programme of such length containing subjects of such moment, it would be a difficult matter indeed to point to any one particular subject as being an index to the others. The programme did not abound with subjects that called for papers praising the Afro-American alone for his accomplishments, but subjects bearing upon the relation of the Afro-American to the civic, moral and intellectual activities of the country. Indeed, answers were sought to inquiries touching the moral life of the women of the race, the growing disposition of the young men and women to crime and idleness and many other phases of the situation, with the aim to point out certain evils within the race and suggest a remedy, rather than consider too fully certain evils from the outside and give fullome praise on the progress of the race on general principles. The convention was a representative one. There were men of the old school, who have labored since emancipation to make conditions better for the Sons of Ham in this Southland, and who were yet willing to give of their earnings in order to make Christian education in Texas for the black man a stern reality, carrying with it all the advantages and enjoyments that come to one who is truly educated. Conspicuous in this group sat Peter Robinson, of antebellum days, who, by hard work, economy and sticking to the farm where he felt himself elected to stay, has amassed a comfortable fortune. He it was, that in the enthusiasm of the wonderful campaign for funds, following an eloquent plea by Bishop Phillips, contributed the first $100 to assist in the prosecution of the work. He afterwards supplemented this contribution by five dollars. Along with him were many other gray-haired men, ministers of the gospel, worn with the work of years' service for the people. On the other hand stood representatives of the new school, Afro-Americans of the second generation, Broome, Hatley and others, who, with the advantages of schools and elevating surroundings, are contributing in a far better degree to the solution of the problems facing them than these old men were able to do. It was a wonderful scene, to see the more than 2,000 people who gathered in the great tent, singing the rallying songs, one composed by Bishop Phillips, and the other by Rev. L. W. Whitfield, and contributing freely to the cause of Christian education. Dr. J. G. Merrill, president of Fisk University, and Dr. George C. Rankin, editor of the Texas Methodist, of the M. E. church, South, delivered friendly and timely addresses to the convention. Many prominent addresses were delivered by men of the convention, among them being Rev. J. E. Raines, Rev. N. L. Smith, Rev. J. S. Starks, Rev. W. G. Jones, Professor E. W. Bailey, Professor S. W. Broome, Rev. J. M. Tolbert, Rev. E. S. Godhy, Rev. L. W. Whitmore, Rev. B. Smith, Rev. William Hunt, Rev. R. H. Blick, Miss Jenora King, Dr. R. W. B. West, Rev. R. H. King, Rev. A. F. Johnson, Professor J. M. Benton, Rev. A. H. Hughes, Rev. W. F. Simons, Rev. S. J. Hynson, Rev. E. Wiley, Rev. A. K. Hawkins, Rev. William Womack, Rev. S. L. Harris, Rev. G. W. Benson, Rev. Simpson Garnet Rev. G. C. Rawlston, Rev. M. F. Jamison, Rev. D. A. Amon, and others. One of the most significant addresses of the convention was delivered by Professor S. W. Broome, president of Texas College, on the "Texas College Idea." Another interesting occasion was the celebration of "Woman's Night," the exercises being presided over by Mrs. C. H. Phillips, the wife of Bishop Phillips. "Woman as a Factor in the Development of Texas College," was discussed by Mesdames M. E. Payne and W. G. Jones, and "The Home the True Foundation of the State," was the theme of a discourse by Mrs. S. M. Egbert. "Our Girls and Their Possibilities," was the subject of an address by Mrs. L. M. Douglass. Other topics discussed were: "How Does the Higher Education Affect Women?" by Mrs. A. M. D. Longrum; "What Should Be the Character of the Education of Our Girls?" by Mrs. W. B. West; "The Necessity of a High Moral Character in the Teacher," by Mrs. J. W. McKimney, and "Woman's Mission," by Mrs. S. W. Broome, wife of the president of Texas College. The music rendered during the sessions was excellent. The Texas College Jubilee Club rendered old plantation melodies with great fervor and melody, and on every appearance received tumultuous applause. Besides the music by the Jubilee Club, solos were rendered by Miss Lady Emma Louise Phillips, Mrs. G. I. Jackson, Miss Pannie Bailey, Miss McKinney and others. The total amount of money raised by the convention to be applied to the work of Texas College was $11,514. While the meeting might not have been as enthusiastic as the great meeting held in Tuscaloosa by the Alabama Conferences a few weeks ago, the men were equally as determined. Perhaps it might be well to say more so, for on every hand could be heard the cry, "We must beat Alabama." There are not the large number of members in the church in this State as there are in Alabama, and the three conferences exist simply because the State is such a large one to cover in the matter of travel. One conference has less than three thousand members. The greatest dependence was placed' in the East Texas Conference, and rightly so, for every district in the East Texas Conference contributed more than a thousand dollars, and every district save one raised more than its assessment. One presiding elder, Rev. J. W. McKinney, raised more than 200 per cent. of his assessment, raising $1,023, whereas the per capita assessment amounted to only $500. Bishop Phillips is one of the most highly educated and scholarly men in the Afro-American race, and it is sitting that he should thus stand out as such an exponent of the cause of education. Himself the product of an institution for the higher training of the youth of the race, and exemplifying in his life and work the efficacy of education, he seeks thus to make such advantages for the young men in his church, that it will soon become to a greater extent the Mecca for the best thought of the men of the race in the South. This advanced idea of an education as carried out by the Colored Methodist Episcopal church is the result of the unprecedented and unequated efforts of the men in the church in the State of Mississippi; and the results of the efforts in Alabama next, then in Texas, mean that this church recognizes the importance of education, and its rightful position as the strongestally to the church. It is safe to predict that with its limited membership the Colored Methodist Episcopal church, when the conference year shall have closed, will have contributed this year, more than $50,000 for education. To this, the $20,000 appropriated by the Methodist Episcopal church, South, for the maintenance of schools for Afro-Americans in the C.M. E. church, will make a grand total of $100,000 for education, rivaling the contributions of larger and older churches. Bishop Phillips is the youngest bishop on the bench, and perhaps the youngest man of the race to have been elevated to that responsible position in any church. His election was the recognition of merit, and a fitting compensation for valuable services rendered the church in the pastorate and in the general connection. He has served some of the best charges as pastor, at Washington, Louisville, Memphis and other points, and made, without any apology, the best editor the Christian Index has ever had. He has made a good record as bishop in the few years he has been on the bench, and the result of this effort in Texas, under his leadership, gains for him the unstinted admiration of his colleagues, and the respect and devotion of the men in his conference as never before. Of course, this does not mean that Bishop Phillips did all this work himself. He would not want that impression made. The presiding elders on the districts and the pastors in the field deserve great credit for the sacrifices they have made and the efforts they put forth to interest the members to the point of giving.

Friday evening was the occasion of a very pretty house party given at the residence of Mrs. Henry Bennett, 129 Targer staircase, Stapleton, N. Y., by Mrs. Sarah Thomas, of 232 West 20th street; in honor of her son a twenty-first birthday. Dancing and games were the amusements of the evening, after which the guests assembled in the dining room, where a beautifully decorated table laden with a bountiful repast was served. Among the present received were noticed some from New York, Philadelphia, Newark and Pittsga THE NEW YORK AGE: THURSDAY, OCTOBER 17, 1907 Rev. A. R. Cooper and His Special Work—Augustine's Anniversary —Social Notice In the person of Rev. A. R. Cooper, D. D. pastor of Bridge street A. M. E. church, the citizenship of Brooklyn not only has a substantial but an aggressive addition. When the reverend gentleman came from Augusta, Ga., to amuse the pastorate of the above-named church the affairs of said church were in a chaotic state. He met indifference and lukewarmness in almost every department of the church. He at once set about the task of harmonizing the existing factions in the church. While there were many who were in opposition and antagonism to his plans, yet by his abweed tact and congeniality he has won them to the extent that there is no apparent dissatisfaction within their ranks, which fact is most commendable one. It is a powerful appeal when men can differ with a man or his methods without antagonizing the cause he represents, such is the distinction enjoyed by the members of Bridge street A. M. E. church. Dr. Cooper is an all-around adaptable man. His spiritual side appeals to the aged of his church, his earnestness and sincerity to the middle aged. While the young people are drawn to him by unseen chords of kindness and gentleness. He has had signal success during his pastorate here. At the expiration of his first year he had added over three hundred to the membership of the church. There is scarcely a Sunday service that some one is not taken into the fellowship of the church, while his financial report to the conference, which body met in Brooklyn last June, broke all records. He calls to Brooklyn, he had confined his material life almost exclusively to the State of Georgia. If there have ever been any fears concerning his success they are far removed at this time. There is no department of his church work with which he is not identified. The Allen League, which meets in the lecture room of the church and is conducted wholly by the young people of the church, is one of his favorite haunts. His presence is always a source of pleasure and inspiration to them. On last Wednesday evening their exercises consisted of an excellent program, among which was an excellent address on character building by J. T. Turner, one of the most energetic and active young men of the church. His advice to the young men and women was both excellent and timely. The paper by Harry Lofton, a young man of tender years, was also an author of the program. In including the program Rev. Dr. Cocker announced the formation of a forum. This organization will be undemonstrational and the entire public is invited to cooperate in making it not only a success, but an influence for good which will be seen and felt throughout the community. The members and friends of St. Augustine's P. E. church, St. Edwards street, of which the Rev. G. F. Miller is pastor, are making every effort to have their second annual parish supper which will be given at Crosby Hall, Classon avenue, near Lexington, a memorable affair. As the twentieth of October is the anniversary of the reopening and the church it is their desire to make the occasion a subject of gratitude and thanksgiving, as well as social concourse of the parishioners and friends of St. Augustine's P. E. church. At the expiration of a pleasing musical and literary program the remainder of the evening will be spent in conversation and other social ways. A welcome reception will be tendered the Rev. G. R. Coverdale, pastor of the Bethel M. E. church corner of Schenectady avenue and Dean street, on Thursday evening. October 31. Short processes and congratulatory gifts of the various church organizations. W. L. Hunter will be master of ceremonies. The arrangements are in the hands of a competent committee. At the residence of Rev. and Mrs. R. A. Royster, 201 Prince Street, last Friday evening, a pleasant crowd of young people gathered to express their appreciation and say good-bye to Clinton, their only son, who left on Saturday for the A. and M. Industrial College of Greensborn, N. C. The esteem in which young Royster was held by his associates and companions was substantially seen in the many beautiful tokens of remembrance presented to him. Rev. and Mrs. Royster acceptably filled their position, and refreshments in abundance were served, offered by the young people heartily thanked by the faculty and honored Among those present were: Misses Lizzie Burwell, J. V. Jackson, May Johnson, Mary Miller, Miss Reid, Messrs. Croon, Payton Miller, Daniel Runn, Thomas Davis, Mrs. Hadly and others. On October 9 James Edward Rickett and Miss Bessie Mabel Kassiter, of Auburn, N. C., were united in holy wedlock at the First Baptist church of Sheepshead Bay, by the pastor, Rev. A. Roxster. Were the ceremony a splendid diddle for Mrs. Robinson of East 14th street, Mr. and Mrs. Rickett will be at home to their friends at 2600 Dean street, beginning October 13. In the recent contest for the most popular Episcopal minister of Greater New York which was held by the Altar of St. Phillips, E. church, Manhattan, Rev. G. Milne, St. Augustine's P. E. church, was the winner. Roth the pastor and his assistant of St. Phillips' church were excluded from the contest, which fact gave a clear road to all other competitors. The prize, which consists of a magnificent white satin stole, is hand embroidered in silk and gold, and was presented to Rev. Mr. McClain, the queen pastor of Gulare Mission, East New York. The stole was worn by Mr. Miller last Wednesday evening on a wedding occasion, and was the admiration of all who saw it. M. C. LAWTON. Petersburg, Notce Mr. Robert C. Harris gave $n$ champagne supper in honor of his wife's birthday last Friday evening. Games and music interspersed with anecdotes furnished the amusement of the evening, for which every one present had nothing but words of praise. Among the guests presided over by Adm. N. Smith and Adm. Gorgo Gadiner, Messrs. N. E. Berry, J. Franklin Pierce, David Bryant, Henry Williams, George Hutchinson, John W. Curry and Prof. Alexander, of Atlantic City, with their ladies, who were Misses Emma Cox, Eva Rhea, Ella Lucas, Ollie Collins and Ella Watson. The baseball season closed last week with the two games between Covington and Wichita, with an extremely successful season with the team. They have proven themselves well nigh invincible. Out of thirty-one games played they won twenty-nine. Mr. Jesse Price, of Philadelphia, is visiting his sister, Mrs. M. E. Schaper, Mr. George Jones, Jr. of New York, is in town. Mrs. John Dixon and a party of his friends for the Jamestown Exposition Saturday for Mrs. Elliott Neck has returned to New York. Messrs. Low Peebles and W. Digga Turner are in town from Philadelphia. Mr. Robert Dabney arrived from New York last week. Evidently the Negro Episcopalians do not want any "near bishops" made for their benefit by the Richmond convention.
